Grain Opinions,

Ware & Leland-There is a strong
undertone to the wheat situation and
we believe that purchases are advisa-
BILE on these declines. There is merit
to. corn and we believe that purchases
are in order on any little setback.
Chaplin & Co.-From present condi-
tons the damage to soft wheat is ir-
reparable and while we look for good
reactions, think the price today is to-
wards a much higher level.
Walter Fitch & Co.-RealiZinS sales
of wheat contributed to late decline
but the damage described recently is
of a kind that cannot be repaired by
additional moisture n we regard
the reaction as temporary.
Clement Curtis & Cove favor
buying on the breaks. We regard the
corn situation as exceedingly strong
and prefer long side.
King Farnum-The wheat market
will continue to be v trading one
governed by crop news.

Mrs. Grasse, the observer, hoisted the
signal for rain and it began to fall

There were varying opinions as to
the value of the precipitation at this
time, some farmers would have pre-
ferred that the wetting had been held
off for a day or two. There were many
others, however. who said the rain
would do a great deal more good than
harm-they did not mean harm-they
were thinking of the little delay and
Inconvenience caused. The highest
temperatures in this part of the west

zero. 1t was a few degrees warmer

Taft forces to victory in the recent
New Hampshire primaries. 1T was
by no means Gallinger's first VIC

the New Hampshire legislature
gave him a seat in the United

NAMED for twenty-one years,
and by reaso of his ability and
long service is now one Of the
most powerful members of the

FORKERS COMING
TO VISIT FARGO
sHoWERs.

Grand Forks, N. D.. April 30.--It
was definitely decided by the Grand
Forks Commercial club today that a
junket would be taken to Fargo next
Tuesday, May Z. Arrangements have
been made for a special car on G. N.
No. 112 which arrives in Fargo at
1850 a. m. and that day will be spent
in the gate city in a rousing get-to-
gether session.
This trip which a large number of
the members of the club have already
decided to take, is a return trip in re-
Spouse to the junket which a delega-
ton of the Fargo Commercial club
paid to this city about six weeks ago.
1t is another expression Of the new
era of good-fellowship which has been
.inaugurated between the two largest
cities of the state.
Members of the Fargo Commercial
club when appraised by The Forum of
the decision Of the Grand Forks club
to pay a return visit to Fargo next
week stated that every effort would be
made to give the visitors the time of
their lives. They will be given motor
rides about the city and surrounding
country and will be Toasted and enter
tanned in as hospitable a manner as
the Fargoans when they made the
trip to the Forks.

traffic and that as soon as they be-
 came quite pronounced it was an fn- dfcation that the wood had become worthless and had lost it's life.
 He showed how the rails were all low ed@ to play from between quarter
 of an inch to half an inch and in some Instances as much as a full inch, be- cause the spikes weren't firm and the ties were decayed. The tracks were
 watched as trains went over them. Roadmaster DeMore pointed out marks that were made on ties which he said
 were to designate which ties were to be replaced. He said that these mark an account was taken of the number of new ties that were needed. Everett came back with the claim, that he could show rotten and worthless ties that contained no such marks. He did Then the railroad. officials con tended that where there were rotten ties next to them were three and four cit pointed where this was not true in some instances and showed dozens of ties together that were all bad
 Everett pointed out where faulty construction caused rails to rknuckle,n and leave no curve in the switch, thus making it very likely, he contended, that the wreck was caused by such a condition The railroad officials quickly took exceptions to this. Ever ett repeated what he had claimed and showed how the rails could play
 The road officials said that the wreck had caused the tracks to be in bad condition and that the condi- ton had been allowed to remain pend- ing the investigation. Everett thought 1t funny that the tracks were not re- paired immediately after the wreck. Everett was asked by the coroner to show a good piece of roadbed so as. to make a comparison. Everett said he didn't think he could show good pieceS of roadbed.
 Everett repeatedly declared that he had predicted 8 wreck at the very spot where the Boston Express left the tracks. He made the prediction after tracks.
 After the inspection of the tracks which was very thorough and conSum- ed much time, the coroner and the witnesses went into the freight house where the inquiry-was continued. L. J.. Carmalt, engineer maintenance of way, was asked if the wreck would longer crossover and perfect curve in the switch. He said that the speed of the train would have caused the train to jerk the trucks over the cross over and the oscillation of the train would have derailed it.
 Everett said that he believed that the condition of the tracks and road bed was two-thirds the cause of the wreck and the speed of the train, the other third. He questioned whether the train went at the rate Of 50 or sol miles an hour. He thought it more likely to have been going at 35 or 40 miles the rate it usually travels, not under written orders, but through des- patch orders tracks were perfectly safe, in his judg- ment.
