fmptieS Begins
Moving West
RAILROAD COMPANIES MAKING
STRENUOUS EFFORTS TO
MOVE BIG CROP,

The different railroads tapping the
great wheat areas Of North Dakota
! are making strenuous efforts to re.
lieve what threatens to be a conges.
| tiCn because Of lack Of cars in the
near future, the rapidity with which
farmers are completing threshing op
eratlons and the general demand for
cars by elevator men all over the
state within few days indicating
possibilities of a tie-up.
The short straw, good weather for
the last three weeks and general har-
vesting conditions all tended to aid in
the work Of gathering the grain and
havinG it ready for shipment weeks
earlier than usual and the railroads
may not have been quite prepared for
this.
There are always a number of farm
eTs who desire to rush in grain to
market soon after threshing to have
ready money to meet bills incurred
during the harvest and this condition
is manifest to Il larger degree this
year Remarking on the probability
of farmers holding their grain for
higher prices well-posted man said
yesterday:
"While the forehanded farmer who
tan will probably hold his grain fol
higher prices, it is not every man who
can do this; in fact, large majority
will ship in portion, at least, of the
crop early. This will probably tend to
hold the prices down for time, but
look for wheat to move up within a
short time"
The Northern Pacific railroad has
word that two immense freight trains
of empties are on the way to the val
ley and the Great Northern as we'll is
expecting hundreds of cars in the fore
part of the week. 1t is anticipated
that with the beginning of the week
the crop in the western part of the
state will begin to move and when it
does, railroads will be taxed to their
capacity as this, coupled with the
shipments now. being rushed IN from
different points in the eastern part
means heavy demand on the rolling
stock of the roads.

Whereas Our kind Heavenly Fathe,
in His infinite wisdom has permitted
the terrible shipwreck of the steam
ship California in which many lives
were lost, and
Whereas among the lost was one of
our most esteemed and beloved
friends, Miss Blanch Fridd, a lady who
was making much out of life for her
self and those with whom she came
in contact
Therefore be it resolved, that we,
her friends and acquaintances of years
past, living in Oakland and Berkeley,
California, and their vicinity, express
in this feeble way something of our
sorrow that such should befall one so
useful to her friends and society, one
whom to know was to love. and
Be it resolved that this expression
of sympathy and sorrow be sent to
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Fridd of Valley City, North Dakota,
and assure them that though many
hundred miles separate us. our hearts
beat in sympathy with theirs as they
think Of their daughter so beloved.
Also be it resolved that a. copy of
these resolutions be sent to the Nor
