MOTOR TRIP
TO WINNIPEG

Next Sunday a large number of
Moorhead motorists will leave the city
bound for Winnipeg. The movement
10 make this run was instituted sew
eral days ago by Dr. NJ. M. Fulton be-
ing among the leaders in getting the
motor car owners of the city to take
this run to the northern city.
1t is the intention of the Moorhead
motorists to have about twenty cars

great success has been met with. At
the present time there A.are twelve
owners that have agreed to make the
run.

reach the Manitoba city no attempt
will be made to make a fast drive.
With ordinary conditions the motorists
expect to reach Winnipeg on Monday.
The Fargo -Moorhead team will be
playing at Winnipeg on Monday and
this Is one Of the attractions, out
side the trip itself, which will take the
motorists north. The cars will be we'll
decorated with Moorhead pennants and
the town should receive a good bit Of
favorable advertising with string Of
twenty cars.

trous cyclonic storm. One man was

Moorhead Department
TROUBLE OPENING
UP new HIGHWAY

The Clay county board, in its road
work near Hitterdal, has encountered
some trouble with a strip of road along
the Northern Pacific railroad, that may
result in condemnation proceedings
| being instituted.
In ITS road work in this section of
the county a dispute has arisen over
fraction of an acre Of land belong
ing to a farmer along whose land the
road is to run and it is upon some of
this farmers land that the road has
to be built.
The Northern Pacific at this point
has built its track almost to the edge
of the right -of-way and the telegraph
poles parallel to the track are set
some distance outside the right -of-way
at the regulation distance from the
tracks and on private property.
The road in question is being con-
structed along the pole line and when
the work arrived at the point where
the pole line runs on private property,
the owner stopped the work. 1t is re-
ported that after a vocal skirmish the
farmer threatened to shoot anyone who
would have temerity enough to con-
tinue the work on the road on his
property and so the work has come to
a stop at this point. The farmer de-
NluSu " plOCu SIll eI'IO4iASJ anu |eAr>S
legal proceedings to prevent further
encroachment upon his lands.
The Northern Pacific, it is under
stood, offered to buy the strip of land
in question but the farmer wanted
$3.50 for it. 1t is probable that con-
demnation proceedings will have to be
instituted before the road work can
progress unless the owner should de-
eide to take a more reasonable sum
for the piece Of land.

MEXICAN BANKS
ARE REOPENED

Mexico City, Aug 1S.-The banks of
the cauital. which closed last Thurs
day, reopened today, The question of
a circulating medium is causing some
uneasiness in business circles. At
present four distinct issues Of bank
notes are being passed.
There is disposition on the part of
the public not to accept the bank
notes of the issue Of July 25, which
are guaranteed by per cent ten year
gold bonds, or the notes issued by the
Huerta regime through state banks
then located in territory controlled by
the constitutionalist army. The paper
of the constitutionalist army is being
freely accepted.
A commission composed Of repre-
sentatives of the clearing house banks
has asked General Carranza, chief OF
the constitutionalists, to define the
attitude of his new government as to
the present legal tender. 1t is believed
a provisional ruling will be made to-
day, thus permitting a resumption OF
banking operations.
wednesday has been declared a ma
tionaI holiday in honor of the entry
into the capital of the main body OF
the constitutionalist army and Genera,
Carranza, the new provisional presi-
dent. elaborate preparations have
been made for the reception OF Gener-
al Carranza and his forces and the in
auguration of the new regime.
Already reconstruction plans are
under way, and 1t is expected that
through freight and passenger traffic
will be resumed over the National
railway lines by way Of Laredo and
I'll Paso within a fortnight.

BECKER and OTTER TAIL
FARMERS UP-TO-DATE

Grand Forks Herald: Farmers Of
Becker and Otter Tail counties, Mimi,
are ting what skillful farm
ing methods can do, according to F. L.
Goodman, president of the Northwest
ern Trust company, who has just re-
turned from a ten days automobile
trip through the territory in question
The land in that section of Mime
sofa would be regarded as poor in
North Dakota" said Mr.. Goodman, land
yet the farmers manage to keep at a
high level of prosperity"
They do this by the application of
better farming methods. Every farm er
produces large quantity of corn, and
with this maintains his hogs and cat
tie. .....
"On many of the farms from 70 to
100 hogs will be found. Others make
a speciality of dairying, and all are
making good profits, on land that many
North Dakota farmers would regard as
poor to spend time or money upon.
The conditions in that part Of the
country show beyond question what
can be done by the application of prop
er farming methods. Many North Da-
kota farmers could learn valuable less
ons by studying the methods of their
Minnesota neighbors."
Mr.. Goodman was accompanied on
his trip by Mrs Goodman, and his son,
Donald Goodman.

Evening Grain Letter.

Minneapolis, Aug 18.-Wheat: The
market has had a very vigorous reac-
ton from it's recent break. 1t needed
only the presidents signature to the
ship registry bill and the probability
of the government guaranteeing war
risks, to create a big wave of buying
orders. 1t is hard to buy any wheat
in the local market at any time, prices
ranging from l to cents with no
trades between. 1t is evident the gov
Crnment is making strenuous efforts
to facilitate the movement of our
products to foreign countries, and the
long side seems preferable at this
time. The trade over the entire Coun-
try has received the impression that
Europe must buy our products and
producers will be slow to sell. We al
ready find evidence to disposition to
put their wheat in store and sell their
cash wheat and buv the future, most
of them believing a 25 or 50-cent ad-
vance is not impossible.
Corn: 1t is apparent tonight that
the selling pressure the past few days
has been entirely of a liquidating
character and that the inherent
strength in the market was not
changed by the recent decline. We
look for corn to rule strong, but be-
lieve wheat offers the greatest oppOr-
tunities.
Oats: Have been influenced by for
eign buying The trade regards them
as being comparatively low priced and
there is a good investment demand all
the time. Lean to the long side on all
breaks.

PROBING
OF PRICES
SPREADS

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Additional
special agents of the department Of
justice have been dispatched to Cleve-
land, Providence, Baltimore, Pittsburgh
and Buffalo to assist in the nationwide
investigation of the increased price or
foodstuffs.
United States district attorneys all
over the country have begun inquiries
and in many places grand Juries al
ready are at work. At Buffalo John l.
O'Brien, the district attorney, will di-
rect special efforts to ascertain the
cause of the rise in the cost of -four.
Fred Robertson, district attorney at
Topeka, Kan. reported yesterday that
the unusual circumstance of wheat 60
ing down on the market and the price
of flour going UP has stood out promln-
emily in the Kansas City daily news
papers for several days past" He is
investigating.
A flood of letters reached Attorney
General McReynolds yesterday from
voluntary correspondents regarding the
advance in food prices. A Brooklyn
correspondent claimed to have specific
information that the packers there are
rapidly increasing the price of fresh
meats, Notwithstanding an unusual
amount of meat in cold storage in New
York.
Gamers protested against the in
crease in the price of sugar. A large
ers by their joint system of selling
their product through certain brokers,
have the public at their mercy"
Ask GOethaIs Help.
Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Col. George w.
Goethals, chairman of the Panama can
al commission, yesterday was called
upon to help Chicago overcome the
wartime prices in force here. The
Chicago municipal mark commits sion,
after a public session attended by re-
presentatiVes of civic societies, wom-
ems leagues and heads of all city de-
partments, sent telegram to Colonel
Goethads asking information as to the
methods of maintenance and operation
employed by the subsistence depart
ment of the canal zone.
The subsistence department has
furnished the necessaries of life to cit
rection of the United States govern
ment.
The commission also asked Colonel
Goethals to inform them by wire of the
prices the government is now charging
on all staples, meats and vegetables
and milk.
The commission also telegraphed to
President Wilson expressing gratitude
for the promptness with which he at
! tempted to bring relief from unwar-
ranted food prices.
Resolutions were adopted ordering
| the establishment of at least five mum.
| icipal markets in the most thickly pop
| ulated sections, and recommending the
passage of special ordinance by
which have taken advantage of the wal
| to raise prices.
James H. Wilkerson, United States
| district attorney, said witnesses would
| be called before the grand jury Wed

me yesterday" he said, that has lee

the number of letters to be transmit
ted
The Commercial Cable Co.'s system
of five cables to Europe was report
ed yesterday to be working with all
the dispatch that could be expected
under the circumstances.
1t was said that the New York office
of the French Gable Co., which
operates two cables, one to England
and one to France. that the company
had succeeded in reducing the delay
to twenty hours. Messages coming
from and going to Europe are subject
to this delay because of the congestion
on both sides of the Atlantic. The
French company, while refusing mes
sages to code to England and France
announced that code addresses could
be placed on messages for the delivery
in the latter country
The English-owned cable lines be-
tween England and Central and south
err continental Europe and the
Scandinavian peninsula, were said to
be interrupted, although under a ce1-
sorship even more severe than that
imposed on the lines of North America.
The lines through the Mediterranean
to ports in Asia minor and the far
east are also under strict censorship
The majority of these lines are English
owned. Censorship over the lines be-
tween Europe and America is prao-
tically the same as that on lines to
North America.
The Commercial company's trans
Pacific cable from San Francisco to
Manila, via Honolulu, Midway and
Caum, and the lines between Manila
and ports in Japan and China, with
the exception of Hong Kong and points
reached through that city which is
under British control, and the lines be-
tween the United States and Central
and Couth America, are the only cables
not under censorship.

Big CHANGE IN
THE F. N. TEAM

The Forum received the follow
ing telegram from Col. Bob ing
laub just at press time this after
noon:
"Schuler Maupin returned.
Dunn, Weidell, Ferris and Greisel
released"
Fans will be pleased to learn
that Schuler Is coming back to
take up the second base iot for
the Graingrowers again, and the
return Of Maupin STRENGTHENS the
pitching staff. Ferris, who was Sc
cured from Grand Forks after he
had been released by that team,
has failed to make good and
Greisel could not locate the plate.
Many will grieve over the re-
lease Of Weidell, who was popular
because of his fielding ability. He
has been unable to hit, however,
and this is the reason for his re-
lease. Dunn. the veteran releas-
ed by Superior and picked up by
Bob, seems to be about through.
The return of Williams to the
Minneapolis lineup was the rea-
son for sending Schuler back to
Fargo -Moorhead.

CITY PRISONERS
ARE PUT TO WORK

Moorhead started new policy this
morning in handling the prisoners in
the city Jail and hereafter anyone un-
fortunate enough to land behind the
bars after being sentenced by the police
Judge, will have to earn their board
while living with the city.
BY order of the mayor all those SEN
fenced to terms in the city bastile will
be taken out and made to work on the
streets under the charge of a police
commissioner
AS a result of this new order six men
in the jail on sentences for drunkness
and other minor offenses were present
ed with sythes and taken to the river
bank where they spent the day cutting
down the forest Of weeds.
This Is good ruling as it will not
be such a pIeasurable thing to land in
the city jail especially to those who are
not overly fond Of working.
