There are some complaints being re-
ceived that rains were insufficient for
corn.
Wheat: The wheat market at the
opening was firm with lighter offerings
due to the American steadiness in the
face of the more favorable weather in
the wheat belt and the forecast of light
shipments from Argentine this week
and values were Il higher. Following
the opening there was a decline of u

prominent firm. Plate parcels were Sd

There was a quieter general demand,
especially from the continent. Just

Moorhead Department
HOTEL SITUATION
IN MOORHEAD
LOOKS AS THOUGH THERE is NOT
GOING TO BE ANY OILY. DAILY
ING WITH THE BUILDING OF A
SUCCESSOR TO THE BURNED
DOWN COLUMBIA.

1t begins to look as though Moorhead
is not going to be without new hotel
to take thep lace of the Columbia, which
was destroyed by fire day or two
ago, very long. If there is any delay
1t will be because somebody gets in the
way of "a long pull and a pull to-
gether."
Three prominent business men were
approached today on the question of
the erection of hotel to take the place
of the Columbia and their views were
asked, without either one knowing the
other had been approached.
"The hotel situation Is now up to
the business men of Moorhead and will
be test of local pride and loyalty
said one, There will be no chance to
hide behind a bush 1t is a show
down proposition which has never APP
peared to this community before"
Another made a remark something
like this: "The time has come when
there will be parting of the ways.
Men who have lots of faith, and a high
quality of push and energy on the one
side, and men who are perfectly willing
to let others bear the brunt of the bat
of saying. I killed the bear and begin
to rake in all the shekels possible, at
the expense of others, will be on the
other side'
The favored site for whatever hotel
structure may be put up is that of the
old Columbia, but if that is not avail
able there are at least two other sites
equally convenient to the two depots
A man supposed to be judge of values
in Moorhead said this morning that Off
hand he should consider the Columbia
site worth $4,000 to 1000, but
whether John Erickson, the owner,
thinks differently remains to be seen.
1t was stated generally this morning
that the North Dakota Improvement
Go. of Fargo is thinking favorably of
4 hotel proposition in Moorhead with
l structure similar to the one which |

Whether Mr.. Erickson, the owner of |
he Columbia site, had been approached
Is to what the purchase price would |

1t was also learned that there will be |

Tuesday which could take hold of the |
lotel proposition and bring it to a sue |

onable. But there is a feeling among |
some men that the hotel enterprise

EARLY OPINIONS OF POTATO.
One Gardening Authority Thought II
Might be Good for Swine.

The London Chronicle has begun the
publication of short cripsy items which
cover the early history of the com
monty used vegetables. Of the potato
it has this to say and it is reprinted
for the interest it may be to the young
potato growers of the twentieth CEN
fury in Clay county:
"The useful potato, although intro
duced into England by Sir Walter
Raleigh in 1884. was for many years
little cultivated OF appreciated. In
James Us time 1t sold for two shill :
ings a pound and 1t did not come into
general use in many parts of the coun-
try until the end of the eighteenth
century. Mortimer's Gardeners Kali
cndar," published in 1908, describes
potatoes as being very like Jerusalem
artichokes, though not SO good" and
adds, "they may perhaps prove useful
for swine"
And in Scotland religious writers
exhorted their readers to eschew the
potato because 1t was not mentioned
in the Bible

Let Settlers Do 1t.

1t cost the state about $4,000 per
year to enforce its game laws That
is more than it is worth, says a
northern Minnesota exchange. AS the
land is occupied by settlers the game
disappears, anyway, so what is the
use Outside of few regulations u
prevent wholesome determination Of
fish by means of nets, we do not need
any game laws. Let the settlers kill
off the big game and be through with
it, instead of preserving them for
certain seasons when lot of amateur
hunters come out from the cities and
make the country unsafe for the set
tier and his stock for several weeks.
The money spent on the game laws
could build many miles of first-class
roads every year, that would be of
great benefit to this country.

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Jan. 5.--Wheat: With ex-
ception of momentary dip at outset
wheat has been rapidly advancing all
day. Market has shown considerable
congestion, offering at all times less
than the demand, and the selling has
been OF a scattered rather than of inn
portant Or influential sort. Light re-
ceipts and strong markets in north
west and lighter primary arrivals
generally have been more prominently
before trade today than has any other
feature after the situation except per-
haps the strength shown from the first
corn. European markets have been
weaker but the trade has been ignored.
Leading longs have openly added to
their holdings on way up. Realizing
sales have not attracted any atten-
tion If their aggregate has been above
the ordinary of which market has not
yet given any indication. Minnea-
polls reported out bidding Kansas City
i'm Nebraska for hard winter wheat
but not getting much at the advance.
Northwestern centers have led Chica-
go in their bulge today. No call here
for cash wheat but outside markets
reporting its price higher. Miunea-
polls reported -four sales estimated at
$4,000 barrels and this advance is
likely TO stimulate further demand and
along the line. We look for small |
world shipments, decreasing supplies |
and home and abroad, especially on |
the continent and believe the 5arket |
is destined for even higher prices. But |
purchases should be made on reactions |
that will occur from time to time.
