HOLDING GRAIN N
LOCAL ELEVATORS
Even Line Companies Are Not
Shipping Wheat on Ac.
count Of Prices.
RAILROAD BEGINS
CUTTING DOWN HELP
Payrolls Are Being Decreased
Over Dakota and Minot
Divisions.

Grain traffic over the Great Nor.
thern from the Dakota and Minot dis
tricts has fallen to such extent that
the company Is beginning to cut down
Its crews throughout the state. At the
various stations where extra helpers
and telegraphers have been located for
the grain shipping period. these are
being dropped from the company's
pay roll. and there has been q general
curtailrnent of expenses all along the
line to meet with the new conditions
created by the dropping OF Of the
traffic.
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 1t out. They
are dissatisfied with the present prices
and r 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 tho head of the
lakes and the shipment Of grain out
Of the state.

the Battle.

A vivid description Of the capture OF
Salonika by the Greek army on No.
vember 8 last is contained in a letter
from James Manson. formerly of Mi.
not. which was received yesterday by
Spero Manson of Minot, says the Mi
not Optic.
James Manson left Minot about a

city of Saloniku on the evening before
great feasts of the Greek church.
The city was garrisoned by 10000
Turkish troops. and was protected by
a strong circle of Notifications.
A heavy rain had fallen all through
the night before. however. and that
rendered many Of the outlying forts
untenable forcing the Turks to retire
however. it seemed folly for the little
force of Greeks to attack a foe five
times their number and fighting be-
hind Notifications.
The Turks, however. were confused
and disorganized and believed that the
entire Greek army OF 100000 men was
before the city. AS a result of this
mistake when the Greek general sent
in a demand for the surrender Of the
city it was promptly complied with.
So on the anniversary Of st. James
the little band Of Greeks marched in
to the city and without having fired
a shot found themselves masters of
one Of the chief cities Of Turkey.
which they had not expected to cap
ture without a desperate struggle.
The 10000 Turkish prisoners We're
lined up in the public square of the
city, and forced to lay down their
arms. while the population of the city
which was mostly made up Of Greeks
made the air ring with cheers for the
victors.
Mr.. Manson's letter also tells at
some length Of the kindness of the
royal family of Greece to the Greek
soldiers. Both the king and queen
are in the habit of frequently visiting
the hospitals and speaking words Of
cheer to the wounded soldiers.
They also frequently visit the camps
and give the men presents of tobacco
and other small luxuries before they
go forward to the firing line.
