TRAFFIC SLACKENS
North Dakota Line Elevators
Cease Shipping Grain

Grand Forks, N. d., Dec. 30.-Sev-
eral line elevator companies operating
in North Dakota have issued orders
to their local agents to hold the grain
they have on hand, and as a result the
railroads are beginning to cut down
the number of their crews, believing
that the rush is over with and that
there will bs no further dicffiulty in
handling the business.
Dissatisfaction with prevailing prices
is responsible for the step taken by the
elevators which has become known
through the issuance of orders to the
railroads not to deliver any more cars,
although the railroad company records
indicate that the local elevators still
have a heavy quantity of grain on
hand.
On the Great Northern the number
OF freight crews is being reduced rapid
ly, aud extra men employed at the
several stations are being dropped
from the pay rolls.
All danger of a coal shortage has
been averted through the splendid
weather conditions that have pre-.
vailed. Even this week threshinp
operations ale under way in the state.
James Cole of Stanley Is operating q

1t WAS the richest strike he had ever

on the other hand, to have frightened
his wits. He will combine farming

BANK CASHIER
Of Washington Arrested for Ir
regularities in Bank
Failure

Mitchell, Dec. 30. When the Hen.
derson State bank, ar Washington, was
suspended by State Bank Examiner
Wingfield last January 30, there wa:
no superstition that the cashier, b. r.
Henderson. would be taken into custody,
but that is the final result Of the situa.
tion. The bank examiner began pro.
ceedings against Henderson at Huron,
December 81. when he filed informa.
tion containing four counts, charging
Henderson with irregular practices and
making a false statement of the con.
difion of the bank. The preliminary
examination before Justice Van Dalsen
was made as private as possible. and
the defendant pleaded not guilty to
two charges, viz: Alleging publication
of a false statement and making a false
statement to the state banK examiner.
Henderson WAS bound over to the Jan
nary term of circuit court in the sum
of 80. 500, which he gave.
Early in the year the Henderson
bank was suspended by the state bank
examiner after he was satisfied that the
bank had been doing things contrary
to the state banking law, and since
that time efforts have been made to pay
mp the depositols as neal as possible.
Up to the present time they have re-
ceived 80 per cent, and it is stated on
good authority that another dividend
will be made within 30 days 1t ia
further believed that eventually the
creditors will be paid in full and
that the heaviest loss will fall on the
stockholders, who are composed princi.
pally of the Henderson family. At
the time of the suspension, the liabili-
ties of the bank were placed at about
$50. 600. with assets of about $40. 900,
which, however, will develop but little
strength. 1t is stated that at the trial
information will be brought out border
ing on the sensational.

PROTEST AGAINST


London, Dec. 30.-Blackburn trade
~unionists, supported by several man
ufacturers, have entered a protest
against the inducements being offered
to the girls of Lancashire to desert
their looms and emigrate to Canada.
Immigration agents have been going
through the northern county pointing
out to girls what excellent opportuni-
ties there are for girls In the Dominion,
where the men outnumber the women,
and that after working for a short time
they are almost certain to make good
marriages.
Unfortunately for the agents, how
ever, the expansion of the cotton in
dustry has been such that in all the
towns a serious shortage of labor is
threatened, and the suggestion has
been seriously made that a deputat;on
should be sent to other countries with
the view OF ~persuading Lancashire fac
tory emigrants to return to the old
country and their old trade.
When "A proposal was made at q
meeting of the Guardians of Blackburn
to the effect that the board should APP
prove OF the emigration of suitable
girls from the union cottage homes to
Canada, practically the entire board
protested. The proposer urged that
Britishers in Canada wanted English
wives, and that ia their absence they
married Russians and Poles. The
reply OF the other guardians was that
the girls were just as badly needed
in the mills. where they earned as
much as the men, and had a more in
dependent life.

TickIed Ruffaloes.

How Yankee railroad man once
tried to protect telegraph poles in
western Kansas from the buffalo and
signally failed ig related by H. J. Bar
Der, a pioneer Of paWnee county:
Early settlers remember that for
miles you could see a white polished
belt on every telegraph pole where
buffalo had scratched their shaggy
hide when tormented by buffalo
gnats. I was told that many poles
were broken by the vast army Of
scratching animals. A certain. rail-
road official who lived in Boston,
where the shoes were made, bought
all the pegging avis on the market
and had the section men drive them
into the posts until they look like
giant cafti.
''The herds came and saw and con-
quered. They fought for first place
at the poles and tickled their NANCY
hiles with the avis, which we're
broken by the joyful bulls that still
scratched on the remnants, until the
poles fell. Needless to say, the re-
naming avis were withdrawn from
service at once"

Like most other things a phrase is
ordinarily a social product. It is diff
ficult to find the origin of an idea. It
is dangerous to say that one has

In his late book, Applied Social

the early Christian fathers. In a fol-
lowing paragraph he speaks of the in
equalities which divide men into rich
and poor, bringing some into the
world saddled and bridled and others
wearing spurs and ready to ride the
saddled ones"-and Mr.. Spargo
ascribes the metaphor to Heine.
But Maoaulay, in his History of
