Forbids inspection Until
Hearing is Held.

Grand Forks, July H.-The Bartles
Northern Oil company of this city has
just secured an injunction from Judge
&c. M. Cooley of the district court en-,
joining the state inspector from inter.
fering with shipments of the company
coming into this state. The injulc-
ton was sought on the grounds that
the stae oil inspection law is uncon-
situtional.
one.Half Cent Fee.
The state law ~prescribes that one
half a cent per gallon must be paid
for the inspection Of oil. The COM
pany refused to comply with this part

man then proceeded to hold up the
shipments of oil. The injunction has
been granted pending a hearing be-
fore the Judge. Attorney r. B. Fee

Claim cit 10 Z Tax.
1t is claimed that this half cent in
spection charge Yields the state an In
come of 100000, while the expense
Of inspection IS only about $4,000.
The company claims that this extra
moneN is a direct tax on the consum-
ers Of Gil, and Is also an impOst on
interstate commerce, thus violating
the federal constitution. It is also
claimed that the inspection is vame-
less in many cases. as It Is not con-
Quoted on any fixed basis.

VIRGINIA MINERS
oUTDIG CANAL DIGGERS
In the Last Three Years as Ex-
cavation Incident to Coal
Mining Shows.
,aerelAL ID e rELrenAMl

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Mar 3
In the last three years the excavation
incident to the mining of coal invest
Virginia has been greater than the
excavation required in eleven years
to dig the Panama Canal.
When the engineers of the Panama
Canal in 1903 began their work they
made a careful survey and found
that approximately 1876, 323, 600 cubic
wards of excavation was necessary.
This was regarded as a stupendous
undertaking and was commonly
spoken of as the largest excavation
lob the world had ever seen. La
borers were imported to the Canal
zone. and column after column was
written showing how maryelously
these laborers were making the dirt
hy" under the direction of the most
expert engineers the world had ever
seen.
the original estimate, were not all
that the Panama Canal laborers We're
to dig after they had started. On
account of the slides in Culebra cut
another hundred million cubic yards
were to be added to their work. This
made 295,323,O00 cubic yards which
were dug In eleven years.
Under conditions far more difficult,
the coal miners of West Virginia were
to do an amount of excavating IN the
same eleven years that would make
the digging incident to the Panama
Canal look like child's play. The
work of these West Virginia miners
has never been heralded to the world
as the last word in excavation efdc-
iency. AS matter of fact, the gener-
al public has paid little attention TO
it. But in the eleven years, while
the much heralded work at the Pan
anna Canal was producing 295, 232,-
600 cubic yards of earth-and all OF
the excavating was being done on the
surface-the coal miners of West
Virginia were getting out of the bow
els of the earth 2,949 AS cubic
yards of coal This was almost twice
the amount of excavation of the Pan
anna Canal, and it was done under far
more difficult conditions.
Because of the efficiency now at
tanned in the West Virginia mines,
as a result of the cooperation be-
tween the miners and the operators
and the efforts on the part of the op-
orators to constantly improve con-
ditions at the mines, the miners In
1913 dug an amount equal to little
more than one-third of the canal ex-
cavation.
Within the last three years alone.
the West Virginia miners have
brought from the bowels Of the earth
100000 more cubic yards than was
contained in. the original Panama es-
Innate. Nobody has ever written
magazine or Sunday supplement TEA
ture articles hof how the dirt-oI
coal, rather-has been flying in West

MARKET COMMISSION
To Assist and Encourage the
Establishment of Local Mar

establishment of a state food and
market commission was recommends
ed by Governor Glynn today in a
special message to the legislature.
His idea is that the commission

encourage the establishment of local
markets under the control of CO
operative associations or producers
or consumers and to help them in
establishing grades and standards for
farm products.
The proposed system was worked
out on the model of system, which

of the resolution of the United States

trine delivered before the ASSOC ation

auested the ambassador to cable an
explanation of the speech and MT.
Page Immediately began the prepa-
ration of his reply.
After reading fuller accounts OF the
proceedings IN the Senate, AMID ASA
dor page came to the conclusion
that the senator's had ben misled Dy
the excessive condensation OF his re-
marks in regard to his interpretation
of the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Page
declared that he had distinctly SAID
that the United States would object
to or prohiD.t any European power
from taking more territory In the
new world and then in conclusion
had said amid the laughter of the
audience 80 You see that the United
States would prefer that no Europe
an powers should gain more terri
tory in the new world =
The ambassadors remarks, he de-
clared, had been made too greatly
condensed. When referring to the
Panama canal he said that Great
Britain would profit most from tne
canal because she owned the great
bulk of the worlds Shipping.

Miss May Richardson has dem

ever powerful, outrages the feelings
of another section, however small,
there are means of retaliation open
to those who have been -wronged
which will be keenly felt by the
community at large.
miss Richardson's action is, OF
course, widely criticised and CON
demned but the real culprits are
