FARMERS HAVE
MILLIONS DUE

Hillsboro, N. D., March 12-Farm-
ers of the northwest may recover mill
lions Of dollars in freight refunds if
they follow the advice given thous-
and farmers here Saturday by the
equity association leaders. The old
line elevators of Minneaolis and Du-
luth have fled claims with the rail-
ways aggregating $5oO,0O0, which rep
resents the difference between the
commodity rates and those confirmed
by the United States supreme court.
The farmers of the Northwest take
the position that the amount paid in
excessive rates belongs to them and
not to the elevator companies. The
grain, they claim was purchased BY
She elevators at the market price less
the fright chatrgs and profit so the
farmers paid the freight and assert
they are entitled to the rebate.

this thing shall go out of business.
5.-Nobody needs to be told that
the citadel of our schools is lombard

BOARD IN TROUBLE

Minat, N. D., aMrch ia serious
controversy has arisenf in the Minot
school board over the acceptance Of
bids fo. rthes proposed new school on
the north side, and an interesting bat
tie is likely to occur before the con.
tracts are signed. The bids accepted
by majority of the board at recent
meeting would make the cost Of the
building in excess Of the money which
could be raised by the issuance of
bonds for this purpose. The opposi,
tion members of the board allege that
such a transaction is illeg4 and are
bitterly opposing the same. 1t is
rumored| that an injunction may be
served on the board to prevent the
closing of the contracts.
