GREAT MEETING OF FARMERS in
this COUNTY LAST THURSDAY
FIRST GRASS And ALFALFA DEMONSTRATION WAS
COMPLETE SUCCESS

and all veterans and visitors to Chat
tanooga May 27-29. the dates of the
reunion. are assured of a most en-
joysble time.
The biggest task of the reunion
association was that OF building the
camp in which the veterans are to be
entertained while here. Camp A P.
Stewart, however. is a fact and not a
figure Of speech. That is to say.
the 1900 tents have been erected.
The wosk was done by a troop from
It Oglethorpe in command of Capt
GiIlem. native Tennessean. 1t is
difficult to imagine a more commo-
dious, pleasant and complete camp.
Ex-Confederates who have seen il
pronounce it the best appointed camp
ever arranged for a confederate
reunion.
The tents are of the pyramidsl
type. and will accommodate eight
cots each. or sleeping room for about
10000 men. These men will be
given their meals in a large mess
tent conveniently located. More
than 200 people will be employed to
wait on the veterans. Lunch stands
will be conveniently located also,
where light lunches and coffee may
be had free of all charge between
meals. A large platform has been
erected at the entrance to the camp
for musicians and other entertainers
and the veterans will not suffer foI
lack of amusement while waiting fcl
their meals.

OF Reid 4 Sorlie of this city VS.. the
Great Northern railroad, and, while
not definitely included, it involves the
possibility of making Grand Forks a
terminal point for the sale of North
Dakota grain.
About two years ago, Reid & Sorlie,
the local fuel II feed dealers, asked
the Great Northern for cleaning
grain-in-transit" privileges, and the
company refused to grant the request.
Then followed a lengthy discussion of
the question by correspondence. The
company refused. to recede from the
original stand, however, and Mr..
Sorlie finally appealed to the Inter-
state Commerce commission. The
rearing called for November u is the
result of this action.
Means MrcI, to City.
The case is of vastly more import
ance than appears on the face of it.
AS stated before, if the privilege were
granted, it undoubtedly would mean
making Grand Forks a terminal point
for the sale Of North Dakota grain. 1t
would mean that the grain could be
sold here to millers or masters in
=. other sections of the ountry and
shipped directly to them without go
ing through the twin cities or Duluth
terminals.
To 8 a concrete example, Mr..
Sorlie asked for the privilege of stop
ping grain, shipped from Devils Lake
and consigned to Minneapolis, at East
Grand Forks for cleaning. He asked
Tor the privilege al the regular term

grant this. He agreed to unload the

his statement. the company would not

will not let us unload them. 1t would

should be shipped on with very little

Of the probable effect of the opening
Of the Panama canal. The expecta-

reduced by more than five to eight
per cent. This reduction will almost
certainly be made up within three or
fou years. possibly in less time. by
the natural expansion of the Suez

was in consultation with the Suez

using in Panama exactly the same
rules of tonnage measurement as ara
now used in the Suez canal. 1t had
