WORLD ARTICLE ON FEED BARNS
BRINGS VIGOROUS DENIAL
FROM VIM. REDMOND.

helaClve TO che article winch ap'
peared in the World yesterday, to the
effect that feed bari, proprieton in
Devils: Lake were charging exorbitant
prices for caring for farmers teams,
William Redmond, who has conducted
q livery and feed stable in Devils
Lake for six years past, says that
with the exception Of two days when a
circus was in town and he had to en-
ploy a lot of extra help at Large ex-
pehse, he has never charged more than
Is cents for feeding a team. When
one considers the high price Of gain
and hay which has prevailed during
the past two years, one can readily
understand that the more business Mr..
Redmond did at this price the worse
of he would be. "While there has
been no money in the business at. the
price I have been charging" said Mr..
Redmond, st have not raised the price
because want the people coming to
this town with teams to feel that they
have been treated right. There have
been times when the price of feed was
SO high that have lost money. If ny
Of my customers have ever been dis.
satisfied with my prices and the treat.
ment accorded them, they hav, never
made complaint to me. If they have
been overcharged it has been without
my knowledge OF consent, and feel
that I should have been informed be,
fore the complaint was made to any
one else.'' The statement of mir. Red.
nond is occasioned by an item appear
ing in the World in which the state
ment was made that farmers were
charged from 35c to $1.00 for having
teams fed. Mr.. Redmond wants it
understood that if such prices were de.
manded they were not charged at his
harm.
We. are glad to get this statement
from Mr.. Redmond. We would be
pleased to hear from the proprietors Of
all the other feed barns il Devils
Lake. This city cannot afford to be
unfair with the farmers. Their trade
amounts to a great deal to the mer
chants ana they should be encouraged
by every possible means to do thei,
trading here.
One Of the best ways to do this is
to care for their teams at reasonable
prices. -

SHIP EARLY is THE Plea SENT
OUT BYITHE RAILROADS IN ORDER
TO AVOID A DANGEROUS SHORTAGE

!, "a y .
About 100000 more bushels Of
grain will be shipped on the Dakota
division Of the Great Northern rail
road than last year, according to the
estimates which have been made by
division officials, based on reports
from every station on the division.
In 1911 the division shipped about
2s,0oo,o0o bushels Of grain, which ex-
ceeded the previous high mark by e..
100000. Now, however, new grain
will be made, as the reports show that
the shipments will easily total 4,OOo,-
900 greater than last season.
The Minot division will also make a
big increase, shipment Of about 26,.
100000 5ort 27,ooo,OoO bushels of grain
out Of that territory being anticipated,

Great Northern, territory in Grand
Forks, Walsh, Pembina, Cavalier, Mel.
son and parts Of Trail, Ramsey and
Cass. The Minot district comprises

Devils Lake and to the state boun,
dairy line.
Active preparations are being made
to take care Of the big crop. Cars are
being sent into the district as rapidly
as possible and every bit OF available
rolling stock is being put into condi

RICH PICKING
FOR POLITICIANS

The specific announcement Just
made by Governor Wilson that he will
not resign the Goyernorship until
March 8, next, means that he will re-
tain in his hands the appointments to
be made during the approaching ses-
sion Of the Legislature, instead of
turning them over to the acting Gov
ernor by an earlier resignation 1t is
pretty generally regarded around the
State House, too, that another reason
for holding ON to the Governorship is
that he may not lose any of the grip
he has upon the State leadership of
his party. The principal appointments
the Governor will have next winter
are:
Member of the Public Utility Com
mission, to succeed Robert Williams,
Republican, salary, $4,000; Commits
sioner of Labor to succeed General
Lewis 7. Bryant, Republican, salary

CONCRETE BRIDGE
SEEMS TO Be FAULTY

The concrete bridge that was re-
Gently built by the city across the tail
race near the water plant seems to
be faulty in construction. The east
wing or wall of the concrete structure
has settled very perceptibly, and there
have developed huge cracks in the
walls. These cracks have from time
to time been filled in with cement and
covered up, but the cracks are there
and they have been opening up larger
and larger.
Ever since the bridge was built by
the Atlantic Construction Company,
there have remained under the deck
OF the bridge large timbers which
were originally placed for support un-
til the concrete was set. These tim
bers are still in place. There are
those who feel that when these tim
bers are removed, there will be fur
ther settling of the bridge 1t is not
beyond the possibilities that the entire
structure will collapse.
From such observations as is pos
sible to make with the form timbers
still in place, there seems to be no
proper foundations for the base of the
bridge. The water is working under
the base of concrete and washing
away the mud and dirt.
The bridge was built after plans
made through the office of Clyde Potts
the city engineer. Whether or not the
plans and specifications were followed
is not assured. But certain is it that
the bridge is far from being a com
plete and satisfactory job, and it is
feared that the city will have to spend
lot of money upon the structure to
make it safe.

ASSESSMENTS ARE
VERY UNSCItNIIF|C

Not alone are the city assessments
for taxes grossly unscientific and far
from being equal, but there is COM
plant and criticism that the rural as
sessments in some instances are no
better made. In going over one of
the township duplicates a few DAYS
ago, a gentleman we'll informed as to
values and to particular properties in
the township, discovered some very
unequal assessments. For instance.
he discovered that there was an as
sessment of $500 for personal prop
erty which included a herd of no less
than sixty>dairy cows, each of which
could be fairly worth $1OO, and num-
Der of horses, wagons, and large lot
of farming machinery. He found the
assessment upon a farm which recent
ly sold for $4,000 to be $4,000. An
other farm that had been sold but a
short time ago for $4,000 was as
sessed for taxes at $45OO. Curiously
he looked further through the dupli-
cate and found that the small farms
which he knew we'll to be assessed
to much nearer their true value, and
small personal holding was assessed
at very much greater proportion
than the big assessments that should
have been made.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
Terrible Death Met by Workmen in
Millviile Sand Pits at Silver
Run, Millville.

MliIYllle, Nov. 13.-Without an in
stants warning huge embankment of
sand caYed at the Silver Run sand pit
yesterday morning about 11.30 o'clock,
and three men were buried under hun
dreds of tons of the sand and loom.
Four men were working together on
an excavation under an embankmept
thirty feet high, preparatory to re-
moving the upper strata or refuse por-
ton OF the bed. All were using shov-
els about twenty feet from the bottom
| OF the pit when the cave in occurred,
TWO of the men were killed, one
was severely bruised, and the fourth
| escaped unhurt.
The dead are.
Lewis Garrison, of Cedar street
| aged %, unmarried.
David Turner, of Pea Landing
aged 80, unmarried.
The injured:
Dominick Green, an Italian, con-
tusions and bruises of body, will re-
cover
Harrison Parsons, who was working
beside the men, fell with them, but
was two feet away from the bank
which crushed out the life of his fell
low workmen.
| A number of men with shovels start
ed to dig with all possible speed in
| the hopes of saving the lives of the
men. Green's shoe was seen after
about foot of earth had been re-
| moved, and he was able to make the
rescuers understand that there were
two men under him as soon as he had
been pulled out.
Both the other men were found af-
| ter a few minutes hard work, but the
life had been crushed from them.
Dr. Charles B. Neal had been called
meanwhile, with Dr. Bradford, of Port
Norris, who happened to be passing
They pronounced the men dead.
A large crowd went down to the
scene of the accident, many being
women. Among them was Mrs. Eli
Garrison, the mother of one of the
unfortunate young men. When she
saw the inanimate form of her son she
was almost overcome with grief.
Coroned Fred Jones arrived later and
/ ordered the bodies removed to their
homes.
