GRAIN
IS BEING HIPPE
BY N

Fearing a repetition Of last years
fsco when thousands of bushels of
grain had to be dumped on the
ground on account Of the car shortage
on the Canadian Northern, Canadian
farmers are shipping many carloads
through this city to Duluth and Min
neapolis.
Unable to secure cars on the Cana
dian Northern many farmers are haul
ing their grain over long distances to
the Great Northern road.
Shipping conditions generally are
not SO bad in Canada as they were q
year ago. Few complaints have been
made Of the Canadian Pacific and the
Grand Trunk Pacific lines. 1t is only
on the Canadian Northern that the
shortage Is felt. West Of Portage la
Prairie farmers are seeking aid from
the grain commission. Pending such
help they are hauling their grain to
the American line.

for 1913. contracts for more than 261,-
900 tons OF rails have either been
placed directly with eastern manu-

NEW PLANT HOUSE
FOR UNIVERSITY
Enlarging Department of BIZ
ology-For Botany Lab
oratory Work.

A new plant house is now being
erected at the university for the ben
eft of the department. Of biology. All
of the laboratory work in. botany will
be done in this building when it is
completed.
The plant house will be construct
ed of wood and glass with a concrete
basement, and will be made. up of two
units. Each unit will be about one
hundred and ftfty-five feet long and
twenty-seven feet wide and will be
divided into two sections. Because Of
its size and the peculiar use to which
it will be put, the building will have
its W heating plant, probably a hot
water plant, and will not have to de-
pend upon the power house. as any
trouble in that building might result
in injury to the plants.
The place allotted to the new build
ing is the old athletic field, as plen-
ty of room is needed for so large a
structure. It is intended to make the
place a sort of garden spot by plant
ing trees and flowers all around the
house.
An appropriation of five thousand
dollars was made by the legislature
for the purpose of building this plant
house, and now. that work has been
begun, 1t is expected that it will be
under cover by the middle of Decem-
her.

the kind of material to use. the ar
rangements of offices, valuts and other
necessary preliminary plans.

Cincinnati recital-John B. Theissen
(c%ritic), in Cincinnati Enquirer:
Though the evening was anything
but suspicious for a concert. a most
%apprecative audience gathered at Me-
mortal hall last evening to hear the
young American cellist. Frederick
Preston Search, who was assisted on
the piano by Joseph Adler. Seldom
has q concert of such genuine merit
been given in this city.
"Mr. Search is a cellist of great
promise. His tone Is large and reson-
ant, his technique extremely brilliant,
and his style full Of sincerity and lofty
purpose. In the Strauss Sonata he
showed a fine temperament and ease
of execution, while in the Concerto
Of Saint-Saens his brilliant technique
was given a splendid opportunity. es-
pecially in the finale. In the smaller
groups he played Tartini's 'Adagio
Cantabile' with a deep poetic instinct
that was delightful. and gave the
'Chanson de Matin' of Elgar a delicate
and most enjoyable performance. The
Faure 'Eiegie' was another soulful
piece Of work. while the Tarantelle'
of Pepper was the best thing he did
throughout the evening and closed the
program in fine STYLE"

MERRY TAX WAR
At DEVILS LAKE
County Auditor Bice Enjoin-
ed from Cancelling Grand
Opera House Taxes.

Devils Lake. n. D., Nov. 14.--What
promises to be an interesting tax liti.
cation was begun here this morning,
when County Auditor Bice was served
with injunction papers. restraining
him from cancelling the taxes on the
Grand opera house. S. L. WinemaE
and a number of other Devils Lake
taxpayers appear as the plaintiffs.
The injunction is the result of steps
recently taken by the county COM
missioners. the city of Devils Lake
and the school board.
Through V. Gram. application was
made to the county commissioners
to have the taxes cancelled on the
grounds that the opera house was
constructed through the efforts of
Devils Lake residents and was serv-
ing them. On October 20, it is said.
the commissioners agreed to cancel
the taxes. providing the city of Devils
Lake and the school board would
pass resolutions to hat effect. The
city and the school board. 1t was re.
ported today, drew up resolutions, IA
vorable to the cancellation Of the
taxes.
The serving of injunction papers
this morning has put a new angle on
the situation, however, and an inter-
esting fight is looked for.
