HANDLE The PITTS
WAGNER LANGEMo MACHINERY
.&:4sUPPLY co. ORGANIZED TO
HANDLE THE BUFFALO PITTS
ENGINES IN. FOUR NORTH
WESTERN STATES.

One of the most important an
nouncements in the implement trade
Of the northwest in some time was
made yesteday when the news was
given out that the Wagner Langemo
Machinery & Supply Co. had been or
ganized to handle the Buffalo Pitts
engines in four northwestern states.
c. c. Wagner, the senior member of
the new organization has been for
years the local manager of the Buff
falo Pitts branch house.
This new organization is one of
the results of the decision of the
Buffalo Pitts Co, to turn over the sale
of it's threshers to the International
Harvester Co., announced some time
ago. The Wagner Langemo Co., will
have its headquarters in Minneapolis
but will have big branch establish
ments in Fargo, Madison, Wis, and
Aberdeen, S. D. 1t will handle Buff
falo. Pitts steam engines, gas tractors,
engine repairs and supplies for ma
chinery. 1t will begin business Jan. 1.
Mr.. Wagner, who has been with the
Buffalo Pitts Co.. since he was IA
years of age will have associated with
him L. NJ. Langemo, at present man
Lger of the Minneapolis branch of the
Buffalo Pitts Co. Mr.. Langemo was
MIR. Wagner's assistant when the lat
ter was manager of the Minneapolis
branch, before coming to Fargo. Mr..
Langemo has been with the company
nine years.
They expect to make the Fargo
house one of the most important on
the territory and Mr.. Wagner will
continue to supervise the North Da-
kota business. ...

HOLDING GRAIN in
LOCAL MARKET

Grand Forks Times: Grain traffic
over the Great Northern from the Da-
kota and Minot districts has fallen to
such extent that the company is begin
ming to cut down it's crews throughout
the state. At the various stations
where extra helpers and teIegraphers
have been located for the grain ship
ping period, these are being dropped
from the company's pay roll, and there
has been a general curtailment~ of ex-
penses all along the line, to meet with
the new conditions created by the drop
ping off of the traffic. 49,,
Another important feature that is
contributing to the lower freight traffic
is. found in the fact that several of the
line elevator companies are holding
the grain in their elevators in this
state instead Of shipping, it out They
are dissatisfied with the present prices
and are not shipping the grain out
In several instances the companies
have notified the railroads not to place
cars at their disposal for shipping pur-
poses, because of their intention to
hold their grain in the local elevators
Coal Situation Satisfactory.
Because of the extremely fine winter
weather that has been enjoyed
throughout the northwest, the antici-
pated coal shortage has been avoided
and no trouble has occurred. The
railroads have been able to operate
their trains with very little delay at
any time, and that fact has facilitated
to a great degree both the handling of
coal shipments from the head of the
lakes and the shipment of grain out
of the state.

Grafton, n. D.. Dec. 28.-Nearly 400
Masons from outside the city were
present yesterday afternoon and
evening at the formal dedication of
the new $4,000 Masonic temple in
Grafton.
W.. E. Hoover, grand MASTER, and

the guests of honor at the different
events, the grand master performing
the dedication ceremonies with the
assistance of others, while / Grand
Secretary Stockwell gave the dedica-
tory address, giving a most interest
ing history of Masonry in general
as well as history of the order in
the state. d.
+ There were several other. addresses
made by local as well as visiting
members. In the evening the banquet
was held and following that was the
reception and ball, which was most
enjoyable affair. 1t was one of the
greatest days that Masonry has ever

pie of Grafton are very much pleased

About five years ago the idea of a
North Dakota corn show was con-
ceived. The commercial club of Far
go was asked to furnish $3.50, with
which to finance such an enterprise.
A small premium list was made up
from. part of this fund and adver-
tised quite thoroughly over the state.
During the 1903 tri-state convention
the first show was held in the opera
house Annex. One hundred and forty
nine entries were made. All of these
were of fairly good type and quality,
being very well matured. Indeed, so
excellent was this corn that a great
deal of favorable comment was called
forth, and the permanency of the corn
show was assured. ~
The following season real estate
men of the state were called upon to
help finance the enterprise, and re-
(sponded to the extent of $3.50, which
with the $3.50 by the commercial club
made the second show possible. That
building now occupied. by the Or
pheum theatre, the poultry showing
occupying the rooms on the second
floor. This combination worked out
in a most satisfactory manner to both
exhibits.
The third show was held in store
room on Second avenue and financ-
ed by the commercial club. During
the time this exhibit was on Mr..
Weiser and Mr.. Irish came in and
announced their intention of hanging
up purse of $1,000 for premiums in
the 1911 contest. This of course
stimulated a great deal of interest
and as result the magnificent show
seen at the ]. !. Case building, Janu-
ary of 1912, was made possible. At
that time the entire first floor space
of the building, 100x140 feet, was oc-
cupied. Nearly 1000 entries came in
from all parts of the state. Many
people who visited it from the east
and south declared it compared very

Seattle, Dec. 2S.--Louis Lajamb, a
machinists "a years. old, was taken to
the city hospital suffering intense pain
and in serious condition, due to the
Iodgment of a slug pearl in his throat
while eating oysters at local cafe. An
operation may be necessary to remove
the pearl.
Lajamb was eating an order. of raw
oysters when he jumped from the table
with a cry of pain. Walters and at
atendants rushed to his side, but La
jamb was speechless with agony. For
several minutes he danced about the
floor coughing Convulsively. He final
ly made. known between gasps the
cause of his ailment. Patrolman James
O'Brien happened into the cafe, and
he called the police auto, in which La
jamb was taken to the city hospital.
DR.. H. *. Baumgarten made an ex-
animation of Lajamb's case with re-
fiector and magnifying mirror, and
said that the obstruction appeared to
be a giant slug pearl, lodged length
wise across Lajamb's aesophagus. A
sedatiVe was administered, and an eff

twenty one persons were killed and
assisted in the escape of James B..

scene of the crime. BY its verdict
the jury also sustained the charges
that the Mcnamara brothers, now in

the nation wide dynamite plot by al
most all the executives and officials
of the iron workers union and that
they knowingly carried on a. con-
