ON TRIPLE TOUR
ACROSS COUNTRY
Party Arrives Here on Path
finding Trip to Establish
Northern Auto Road

Fargo, June 27.-Mr. and Mrs. F.
A. Westgard and H. A. Scholler Of
New York city arrived in Fargo last
evening, having completed nearly
1000 miles of the first leg of a triple
transcontinental trip for the purpose
of establishing an official northern
route from coast to coas for auto
mobiles.
Mr.. Westgard. who is a government
Official. and is also associated with the
American Automobile association. and
party left New York city June IL,
and spent a day in Chicago and an
other in Minneapolis enroute west.
Last night they put up at the Waldorf
and this morning resumed their jour-
where they expect to make the next
stop. Mr.. Westgard is scheduled to
deliver an address before the state
good roads association at Anaconda,
Mont. July s.
A fo%rty-horse power Pathfinder
touring car is the official pathfinder"
on this tour. the object of which is to
establish a feasible northern route for
a transcontinental highway. A south
ern route was established by MI.
Westgard last ear. The tourists will
go to Seattle. thence to San Francisco
and back to New York and thence
back to Los Angeles. A full report
of road conditions together with such
other information as may be of value
to the department is sent to headouar-
tiers each day, and one of the objects
of the trip is to interest the various
states in the movement for better
roads. The party reports having
struck some pretty severe roads In
Wisconsin. blu reports the dirt roads
in Minnesota as generally good. The
trip from MINNEAPOLIS was made since
Tuesday morning.
Since leaving New York not a single
bolt has required adjusting, and
has it been necessary to re-
pair a puncture, Mr.. Westgard de-
%clares. and the trip thus far has been
one Of great pleasure. The automo-
bile carries full camp equipment. and
1t is a matter Of little concern whether
or not the party reaches a city at
nightfall.

FIGHTING SHIPS

Says Nyland.

New York. June 2s.-Further tes-
tilnony regarding lighting ships
which steamship officials in the So
called shipping pool are alleged to
have used To stitlc competition WAS
given today by c. n. Nyland, passen-
ger agent of the Hoiland-American
Steamship company. who was a Wit
ness in the governments suit to dis
solve the alleged steamship trust"
The fighting ships" he said, were
directed against the Russian. East
Asiat;c. Northwest Transportation
company and the Uranium lines. all
independent of the defendant lines
accused of being members of the
pool
Tho witnes gave as a reason for the
operation these fighting ships that
sometimes independent lines adver-
tised a certain rate and then reduced
this rate in An effort TO take business
from lines charged with being in the
pool" Thus. said Mr.. Eyland. the
lighting ships were brought into ex-
istence so that these unexpected re-
ductions by independent companies
might he met. These fighting ships
policy was discontinued in 1910, he
said.

MAY I D

Mandan. June 1.-THE latest grand
project to emanate from the brain Of
a slope booster Is a wagon bridge over
the Missouri near the N. P. bridge.
w. A. Lanterman was a Bismarck
visitor recently, and he reports that
Captain I. P. Baker is the man who
pointed out to him the feasibility Of
such a scheme, as we'll as the profit in
carrying it out. Three hundred thou
sand dollars is the estimate cost. built
In the winter. and untold millions
would be the income. With Mandan
and Bismarck connected with a
bridge. and interurban street car line
would soon follow. hundreds of auto
tourists would visit both cities, rail-
roads would hasten in. and the well
fare Of both would be subserved in an
unprecedented manner. Although
such a proposition may just now be
hooted at. there are those in this city
as we'll as in Bismarck. who believe
1t will be carried out in the not far
distant future. to the untold better
ment of both cities.

SCHEDULE
Cando Train Returns to Old Schedule
Enters Devils Lake Again.

Devils Lake, June 27.-After sew
eral weeks of experiment which prov
ed unsatisfactory to both the Great
Northern and it's patrons. the Cando
train returned to its old schedule to-
day and instead of stopping at
Churchs Ferry. it rolled into Devils
Lake. The former schedule of time,
arriving at 1920 and leaving at 1928
will be. followed in the future. much
to the satisfaction of the people along
the line.
The change comes as the fruit Of
the work of the Devils Lake CONNER
cial club, backed by every business
mar and resident of Devils Lake, as
we'll as every town on the Cando line.
The change inaugurated by the Great
Northern worked to the utter disad-
vantage of Devils Lake and the hun
Dire Is of people on the Cando branch
who come to this city every week on
business.
The announcement Of the change
in schedule came with the arrival
here yesterday afternoon Of General
Manager Gruber. Assistant Emerson
aand Division Superintendent Innes,
who left later for Minot and the Cros-
by line, to return here his Afternoon.
Incidental to their visit. came new
rumors as to the prospects Of an ade-

follow the lead OF its aggressive COM
petitors was not disclosed in the
of the business day.
The additional gold shipment to the
French capital. making 100000

genesis in something more potent

ton of the precious metal. but these
protests are accepted with some res
ervation. The market, which was
fairly active in the first hour and
characteristically dull thereafter,
seemed to detach itself from poll
teal considerations. Gains Of a point
were registered by many active issues
in the early dealings. while some spe-
moved in a sensational man

American Tobacco. Later the %electri-
cal issues n certain semi-active
retailers such as Louisville and Nash

taken up with further improvement

FOREIGN BARIEY.

Broomhall's: The ioutlook for the
new crops in Euro1e is favorable
practically everywhere. the one ex-
ception being Spain. Russia has had
good rains right across the southern
belt, and this is where the main bar
ley rop is grown-crop conditions
are now considered satisfactory
throughout the country. Danubian
Hungarian crop exports are also
quite favorable and the same can be
said for western Europe including
the United Kingdom. which has just
had fair to good rains. North African
crop reports are not favorable. and
there is some complaint from Asia
Minor. although We believe the main
crops there still promise we'll: Re
ports OF the crops of the Pacific
northwest continue favorable. whilst
indications for California are about
unchanged and point to very small
exports. In eastern states of the Uni
ted States and Canada prospects for
spring crops are favorable.
Our Berlin correspondent writes as
follows: After filling some demand
for which steadied prices for
the day or two. the market again
found itself without any demand from
consumers. whilst at the same time
Argentine maize prices were being
and Black Sea sellers forcing
sales. putting down prices from day
to day. so that the market finally be-
came demoralized until a small de-
mand came on which permitted a
limited trade to he done. and gave
some support. 1t seems impossible at
present to form any idea as to the
likely developments of the market,
for it is uncertain to what extent
the herds Of cattle and pigs have
been. reduced. n there is also UNI
certainty as to Russian reserves and
1ndia's surplus. We can expect that
the demand will come on again soon
err or later. but the course Of prices
at present seems to depend on the ex-
tent OF offerings from Russia and In

The foregoing remarks of our Ber-
lin correspondent show that there is
no very hopeful feeling prevailing
in Germany with regard to the likely
course OF the market for grinding
barley: but some other reports speak
more favorably Of the revival of the
demand.

the last crop are some 100000 BUSH

ceipts of other grain excepting wheat.
Receipts OF barley on this crop
have reached the $4,000. 900 bushel,

The demand for barley has been so
extensive for shipment that the mer-
chandising of 1t has become very act
i've. Unfortunately the crop of 1911
colored more or less by bad
weather during the harvesting and
threshing of it. The result is that
the high qualities became very valua-
which tended to increase the
acreage for 1912 in the northwest,
but owing to the wet weather last
fall and early winter so much ground
left unplowed that the seeding
of this grain was generally very late
and reduces the acreage from that
contemplated. So far during this
season the seeded grain has made
fair progress and a full crop is antic-
ipated.
