WAR CAUSES LESS
CATTLE KILLING
Results of European Con-
aict Seen at Municipal
Abattoir.

That there is a decided falling off in
the number of animals killed for meat
as the result of the present European
war, is shown by the records of the
Grand Forks municipal abattoir since
August I. compared with the record
FOR the mont Of July.
Since August 1 there hav been 81
cattle. 33 hogs. ~ calves. and 1S sheep
killed at the abattoir. The total num-
Der of animals killed during July was
322, consisting Of 81 cattle, LA hogs,
IS calves and 33 sheep.
In other words, the average number
of animals killed daily at the abattoir
during July was 1912, while. since
August 1. the average number killed
per day has been 81.
Reports from other sections of the
country show that a. similar condition
prevails, h shortage being especially
felt in Chicago, and the other large
packing centers.
M explanation of the shortage Is
believed to be that the meat producers
are holding their animals with the en-
pectation of a heavy advance of
prices as the result of the present
European war.

S0LONS
ARE IN TROUBLE
Tax Commission Seeking
the Removal of Officials
in Rehland.

There: are 10 ne developments at
present in regard to action of the
state tax commission to attempt to
unseat the county commissioners of
Richland county. according to l.. E.
Birdzell, member Of the commission,
who was in Grand Forks today.
The action has beer threatened by
the commissi,n on the advice Of the
attorney general as the result of the
refusal of the county commissioners t.
assess taxes against the leased ele-
vator sites along the railway rights
Of way in the county.
These. assessments were 1T appears,
certified to the commissioners by the
tax commission. The former, how
ever reduced the certified. assess
mems by 100 per cent, or in other
WORDS. eliminate them entirely.
Uider such circumstances II is
claimed that the state law gives the
taxcommission power to bring action
forsthe removal of the commission
e~rsrefusing to make the assessment.
D Is expected hat some formal ac-
tio5 will be instituted by the commits
sio4 at Bismarck during the next week

TO repair WALL
OF CITY filter
Cheaper Method Will be
Tried First by Water
Works Committee.

An effort to remedy the defects in
the city filter plant will be made by
the waterworks committee Of the city
council before the concrete walls be-
tween the two filter pools, which has
been suggested, is erected.
City Engineer Smith believes that it
may be possible to prevent the seep-
age Of unfltered water. which at pres
emit prevails at the plant, by the re-
pairing Of a number of leaks in the
present wall.
If this can be done it will mean
the saving of a substantial sum to
the city. .a.
The committee was at first of the
opinion that the only way to stop
the seepage was the erection of the
proposed wall. but it has now been
decided that the repair method, which
will be comparatively inexpensive,
should first be tried.

CANADIANS SHOW PATIENCE
George. A. Bangs, After Win
nipeg Visit.

The people of western Canada are
showing wonderful patience under
the present trying conditions caused
by the European war, according to
Geo. A. Bangs of this city, who has
just returned from Winnipeg after at
tending the meeting of the supreme
lodge of the knights Of Pythias.
Naturally the war has caused a
severe slump in business" said Mr..
Bangs today. practically all build
ing operations have ceased" and there
has been1a general tightening up in
money matters by the = banks ana
other financial institutions.
Added to this is the fact that the
wheat crop Of western Canada this
year will be far from a record break
er.
I'm spite Of these discouraging con-
ditions, however. there is no tendency
towards a panic. The people seem
to realize that such depression. is in
evitable as the result of the war, and
are patientlv waiting for the situation
to be relieved"

IF the farmer can market his

however, to say just what the effect
on business will be. I've been away
