One little help in saving steps, for me,
has been to have a berry basket near

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Jan. Wheat: Despite the
extreme weakness in coarse grains
wheat maintained individual strength
lac to $50 higher. The principaY
in the upturn was the spring
wheat situation, where mills were re-
ported as free buyers OF cash wheat at
premiums n the reports Of
the working Of a quantity Of hard win
ter wheat to sea-board exporters.
Trade, however, was rather light and
professional in character.
Corn-Commission house liquidation
brought about a sharp decline but part
of the loss was recovered when buying
orders developed and the close showed
a loss Of only lac to 3-Sc. The short
interest was materially increased. The
cash demand locally showed some i'm
provement, although prices were lower
with the futures. Country offerings
dried up and receipts are expected to
run light.
.Oats-Followed corn but reacted to
almost yesterdays closing figures. Com
mission houses were good buyers or
the decline, while shorts increased their
commitments. The cash situation was
good with sales Of over EOS, 900 bushels.
The eastern demand is still nil.

COUNTY EDITORS dine
COUNTY OFFICIAL, ETC.

An event last night was the annual
banquet Of the Clay County Editorial
association to the county commission
ers, officers, Judge of the district court
and representatives of the legislature
from Clay county and 1t proved to be
one Of the most enjoyable affairs or
the kind ever given in Moorhead. The
scene Of the dinner was the grill room
of the Hotel Comstock and the com
ments are that of the hundreds or for-
NAL dinners served in that hosiery by
Mine Host Hunt there was never n
better one. The menu was varied TO
suit every taste and the viands were
cooked to perfection and served amid
the most perfect of appointments.
The after-dinner amenities were most
informal in character and for that rea-
son were enjoyed in the larger sense
by every guest present, No mistake
was made in the choice Of postmaster
the duties of which were assigned TO a
past master of postprandial proceed
ings, Editor Richards of The Moorhead
News and in the introduction of the
several speakers Mr.. Richards disclosed
most conclusively that he has lost none
Of his cunning.
County Attorney Dosland responded
to the toast, the officers Of Clay county,
A. J. Wright for the board of county
commissioners, Judge Nye for the judi
ciary, Clerk Of Court McCubrey gener-
allied a little. and Senator Marden was
most happy in his illusions to the do
ings In the legislature.

GATHERING WAS
GREAT SUCCESS

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. Flight
representatives Of the university Of
North Dakota attended the big meeting
of the Students Volunteer association
which was held at Kansas City, Mo-,
during the recent holidays. The meet
ing proved to be most successful in ev-
cry way. There were over 5000 dele
gates there from all over the world.
This association holds a meeting only
once every % years and its main
purpose is to interest students in fore
ign missionary work. There were over
thirty North Dakota people at the con-
vention. The speakers were men who
have been identified with the mission
work in foreign lands and college pro-
fessors.
Since the last regular meeting four
years ago over 5000 persons have been
sent out by this association to do
foreign missionary work and 1t Is ex-
pected that many more will go abroad
for the same purpose in a short time.
Over 1900 students at the Kansas City
meeting signified their Intentions Of en-
tering upon this field of work. Reports
were heard from all parts of the world.
The North Dakota university represen-
tatives were Prof. v. P. Squires, H. l..
Wells, Horace Webster, Clyde Fitch.
Fred Conoway, r. Kuhn and Misses
Luella Coe and Carrie Smith.
The convocation programme in the

IN OREGON

.viding hat members Of the military
ordered into actual service are not
liable civilly or criminally for acts
committed by them while on duty.
While the governor would not Jay
whether he is going to extend his an
t~i-saloon crusade into the town OF
Huntington and place it under martial
law, as he has done In Copperfield. he
intimated thai he, would delay such
action, at least until he had further
studied the results Of the crusade
elsewhere.
Explaining. that he had discovered
that Samuel White, a prominent DEM
ocrat and judge advocate Of his mill
tary staff, had been extending advice
to those in sympathy with the alleged
~violators he Is attempting to reach in
Copperf1eId, Governor West announc-
ed that he had removed him.

EAST SIDE NOTES

The several saloonkeepers arrested
at East Grand Forks on a charge Of
selling short pints of liquors will
likely miss prosecution as someone
has stolen the states evidence.
The Presbyterians Of East Grand
Forks are to build a new church edi-
flee to cost $40. 900.
Official instructions are to be issued

Adolph Biermann, state auditor of
Minnesota in 1882, and at one time
candidate for governor, passed away
yesterday AFTERNOON at his home in
this county.
Rumors are current that five we'll
dressed men are headed this way and
they are alleged to be promoters of
fake wrestling swindles and other OPP
erations, but in the northwest they
devote themselves to arranging tempt
in" wrestling matches in the rural
districts.

TO GET RID OF .
PORK BARREL

Washington Jan. 6.-Basis for &C
ton by congress to rid itself of the
burden of the pork barrel and clear
the way for uniform and less costly
construction of public buildings will
be furnished 500 in a report from
the public building commission, Gre
ated by the last congress, to look into
the manner in which the government
erects it's structures.
Among the proposals which the
commission has under consideration
are two of vital interest, the creation
Of a. department of public works, and
the establishment of a new system of
estimation in connection with public
buildings. A pubic works department
would lead, members OF the commits
sion declare, to more uniform con-
struction and a decrease in the cost
Of maintenance Of federal buildings.
Some members Of the commission are
hopeful that eventually congress will
be willing to allow the head of a de-
partment of public works to map out
his W public building ground, and
to make no appropriations except
those SO recommended.
The commission will express the
hope hat congress will be less liberal
in the future, and cut down it's aver
age Of 81, 600, 900 q month for public
buildings to a. more reasonable fig
ure. 1t is expected to point out that
in more than one instance $4,000 has
been provided for a building in vii
lagos of less than 1000 inhabitants.
Another step to be suggested to con-
gress is the abandonment Of the poll
icy to make use only of corner lots,
and to eliminate the forty-foot fire
limit on all sides OF public buildings,
both of which conditions are Q re-
CURED by law.

BILLION FOOT
TIMBER SALE
GOVERNMENT ASKS BIDS ON
TRACT IN ARIZONA
FOREST,

Washington, Jan. 6.-Sale of 1,000,-
100000 Of standing timber from the
Kaibab national forest in northern
Arizona, with authority for the con-
struction by the purchasers Of 900
miles Of railroad through one of the
richest sections of the west, has been
approved by Secretary Houston Of the
department of agriculture. Bids VIII
be received up to the middle of June
this year; then three years will be
allowed the successful contractors for
building the railway. The timber will
be cut gradually during twenty-five
years.
This project is the most gigantic
launched by the forestry service sinLe
its creation. So carefully have the
service officials mapped out their
plans that by the end Of the contract
period, the land which first is barred
by the cutting will have been ref orest-
ed by a new growth and the SC sn;c
beauty will remain unmarried.
Will Assure Railroad.
Recognizing the difficulties which
lie in the limited transportation facili-
ties, the service decided the con
tractors should be allowed to con-
struct a railroad connecting Colorado
and Utah with the Grand Canyon,
which heretofore has been accessible
only by the southern approaches. For
several years the construction Of such
a road has been considered by vari ,,rs
capitalists, but it has been stated that
the lack Of assured traffic proved an
effectual barrier. It was pointed III
at the department that a contract for
1000, 900, 900 feet of timber will over
come this difficulty and provide a
commodity transportation which, with
the tourist n local traffic included
will place the project on a paying
basis.

Friendship Of Boy and Girl,

Harper's Weekly: First, comes sex
consciousness. Is 1t rare, even now,
that children grow up without being
leased about one another? I have seen
supposedly intelligent adults tease lit
tie boys and girls of 3 and 4 years
about their sweathearts and beaus. I
have heard a college professor (his
subject was not phychology!) tease
an S-year-old girl about marrying. The
mischief starts right there in child
hood. Children of 4 cannot play to-
gether without being reminded Of diff
organizations in the functions of two
beings which should not af-
rect them for at least a dozen years.
Then there are sex 1t is
quite true that a little boy should be
polite to a little gir... but what sort
OF politeness Is needed that he should
not also apply to his boy comrades?
The little girl and the little boy are
very early impressed with the girls
being weak and delicate. He mustn't
romp and play roughly with her. So
his real self is .stiaed till he gets
among his boy pIaymates. The girl is
already a different order of being.
Very early she is taught the same sort
of to her as to his feeble
grandmother, nj the more THOROUGH

treating her as he treats his grand
mother, the more early alike is his
