at a particularly busy period, to see
for himself what was being accom-

GOOD CHANCE FOR RAKE OFF
Barnes County Sheriff Found That
Scales in Some instances We're
Very Badly OF Color.

Sheriff Stershoel has tested the
y weights and measures of the county.
He has paid special attention to the
scales Of the elevators and found a
bad condition to exist so far as GER
tain old line elevators are concerned,
says the Valley City Times Record.
An examination Of the weights of ev-
cry elevator in the county resulted
in finding a number which were
plugged" Plugged" in the YER
nacle Of the under w~rid means that
a portion of the iron from the under
side of the weight has been drilled
This increases the weight of h disc
and makes the matter weighed short
of its standard measurement.
AS an illustration weights were
found in a line elevator in the south
ern part of the county which had
been plugged so that the elevator act
ually stole seven and one-half bush
els III OF every 100 bushels weighed
on the scale. II this elevator bought
100, 900 bushels Of wheat they stole
$500 bushels which at present prices
would be worth $500. Not a bad
profit on a business which would not
involve an outlay of more than from
s1O.0 600 to $4,000 capital. Besides.
this was only their illigitimate profit.
They made a more or less legitimate
profit in addition which would pay
all expenses and n good return on
their investment.
Tho only difficulty with the situa-
ton is that only the poorly paid m
ployees of the corporation ran be pun
ished. There is no way 10 get AT the
corporation, the real culprits in the
case.

BOARD HEARS MORE
ABOUT ELEVATOR
FAILURE
Turtle Lake Case Bobs Up
Once More-The Leeds
Change Opposed

Difficulties that resulted from the
failure Of an elevator company at Tur-
tie Lake. involving the settlement Of
the bonding company with the credi-
tors. were brought to the attention Of
the state railroad commission today in
this city when Judge Edw. Engerud
appeared In behalf Of the Dakota
Trust company. That company asks
the railroad commission to approve Of
bonds of several companies that have
been filed with the board for approx
al.
In the Turtle Lake case there was
some question raised as to the settle
ments that were made by the bond
ing company. The proposition is as
to whether or not the method of set
Element is any concern Of the railroad
commission, or whether all that board
is called upon to do is to pass upon the
form of the bonds as they arc filed.
Would Disrupt Service.
The Leeds railroad schedule also
was before the board today. Messrs.
Gruber, Leverich and LaRue of the
Great Northern and Birdsell Of the
Northern Pacific appeared to oppose
the proposed change in schedules. de-
claring h a to change the schedules
would necessitate a complete revision
Of the schedules owe the entire sys-
TEN. AS the trains operate now. they
arc times for the terminal work, and
"a change at Leeds such as has been
asked for, the companies declare
would work a hardship. Fifteen days
was given in which to file statements
of the proposition.
At Driscoli, where the citizens ask
ed that trains Nos 8 and 4 Of the Nor
them Pacific be stopped, the board de-
cided to hold its decision in allegiance
until such a time as they could secur
a statement Of the passenger receipts
at the station, as we'll az at stations
of similar size.
The meeting Of the board will con-
tinue till tomorrow. President Suits

Commissioner Mann and Secretary

RAILROAD SEEKS TO
GET LAND UNDER
new SUIT
Admits State Is Correct in
Contention on the Traill
County Proposition

Property in Trail county that was
originally sold to the Great Northern
Railroad company by a normal school
board. and which the state has sought
to regain possession of through ac-
ton authorized by the state school
land board. may finally become the
property Of the railroad through con-
demnation proceedings.
When the suit was launched by the
the state on the ground that the board
from which the railroad made its
purchase was without authority to
make such sale. the railroad
company decided not to fight that
case. admitting that the contention
Of the state was correct.
Now the railroad company will
seek to gain control of the property
through condemnation proceedings.
and these have already been COM
menced.
The property in question is quite
valuable for gravel purposes. and al
ready has a big pit on it which has
been worked extensively.

made excellent flights at Superior and
Duluth. Both were we'll satisfied with
the trip and the treatment accorded
them.

rowly escaped serious injury, Mr.. Nc
Goey stated this morning:
The cold weather Is the reason that
I had a mishap on the last trial flight

on me, due to carbureter trouble
caused by the change in the atmos-
pheric conditions. I had to make tho
flight from a small field and in rising.

and I had to rise suddenly. AS it was
some Of the people would probably
have been struck and hurt If they had
not dropped to the ground.
The facilities were very poor ow-
ing to the short straightaway I had
for making the fight. When my en-
line started to slow up I saw at once
that there was trouble ahead of me
and I tried to find a clear place to
land In. Nothing was in sight but
cleared land, where stumps were scat
tered about every thirty feet. I had
to make a descent as the engine was
gradually stopping and it looked bet
ter to me to break the machine than
my neck. I picked the best place in
sight and got away with nothing more
than one broken plane"
In regard to the reports published
IN the Duluth papers anent how pleas
ed his wife was to see him return safe

some Of his friends in the Zenith city
put up a job on him.
Messrs. Mccoy and Kenworthy will
remain in Grand Forks for some time

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IS
SOLUTION OF
PROBLEM
Temperance Lecturer De-
clares Its Adoption Would
Abolish Evil

Woman suffrage will provide a so.
luton for the liquor problem as it was
presented by Miss Rhena E. G. Mosher
Tuesday evening in a lecture at the
First Baptist church under the aus
pices Of the w. c. T. u. of Grand
Forks. Use Of liquor as it is prac-
ticed in the present day. she contend
cd. could be done away with by grant,
ing suffrage to women.
THE fact has been demonstrated by
the amount of money put up by the
brewers to fight the suffrage BILL" said
Miss Mosher. I'm Kansas, where there
is to be a strong fight within a short
100000 to fight the suffrage bill and
that they were working to have the
liquor question resubmitted before the
women were given the right of suf-
frage."
Her talk was exceptionally interest
ing and instructive and she took up
the subject of alcohol and temper
ance along strictly up to date lines.
telling of recent researches and the re-
suits and of the latest medical investi-
cations in the matter of alcohol as a
medicine.
She stated that since people have
become more vitality interested and
have taken the trouble to sufficiently
investigate, it is no longer necessary
to appeal to the emotions, hut science
upholds reason in the fact that al
coholic beverages are not necessary ia
health and hat it is a poison and
should be used only as such, that in no
sense is 1t a food. Excellent examples
were given to prove the assertion in
the recent meeting of The Hague in
Holland. which was attended by over
1900 delegates. 100 of whom were
Catholic priests. others being men and
women of influence. She spoke of the
recent medical conference. where it
was fully demonstrated that alcoholic
liquors caused the white corpuscles in
the blood to become shriveled and as a
result they we're not able to build w
the tissues and in their natural way
prevent disease.

COLO WEATHER BENEFICIAL
Farmers Are Finishing Their Thresh.
ing-Now Only Fear is a Heavy
Fall Of Snow.

The cold weather of the past few
days has proved Of great benefit to the
farmers in this section of the state.
as it has given them an opportunity
to finish tho t%hreshing which had not
as yet been done.
Thirty-two threshing machines and
crews were at work on the Sarles line
between saries and Lakota on Tues
day and throughout the Dakota d.
vision the whirl of the threshing ma
chimes is a common sound. It has
been estimated that up to the first of
this week.. only about three fourths of
the threshing in the northeastern part
OF n state had been completed. It
Is expected hat it will practically ali
be finished, providing the weather
continues favorable for the next ten
days. The only thing the farmers are
fearing now is a heavy SNOWFALL.
While many Of the farmers are
threshing a large number are busy
with their blowing. especially along
the main line Of the Great Northern
to Devils Lake.
