The baggage, Of course. came on a

had been reported In at headquarters
work commenced The floors for the
tents were carried from piles at tho

placed in their proper positions. Then
came the tents and stakes and In 4
very few minutes everyone was busy

entrenching tools, or whatever they
could find Soon the tents were in
placed and securely pegged down.
Then the equipment carried by the
men was placed and we settled down
to wait for the baggage. In this
respect we were much more for
tunate than last year. Last year we
had to walt until o'clock for the
baggage This year we got our Dag
gage about 4 o'clock. Soon had the
cooks properly installed and in very
short time tantalizing odors began tn
come from the cook shack. At $3.50
we sat down to supper. Didn't have
time to do much fancy cooking, but
everything on the table was clean
and the boys finished up on cold
baked beans. Cook tells me twenty.

Minneapolis VIII Beg
for Grain Says Lotus

Aneta, N. D., July 5.-Resolutions
calling for an investigation Of the
Minneapolis board of trade by the
federal government were unanimous
ly passed by 1000 people who heard
the debate between Treadwell Twich-
ell and George LOTUS on the terminal
elevator question here Saturday.
The board of trade is accused in
the resolution of being monopoly
which deprives the farmers of Is per
cent of their legitimate profits. The
department of justice is condemned
because it is alleged to have in Its
possession proof of the illegal char
acter of the board but has taken no
action against 1T.
Mr.. Twichell concurred in the reso-
luton calling for the investigation.
One of the most interesting features
of the argument was the remedy pro-
posed by Mr.. Twichell for the evils
to which the grain producers of the
state are now subjected. He admitted
many. of Mr.. LOTUS statements in re-
gard to these evils but maintained
that they couud not be cured by a
terminal elevator in st. Paul
Mr.. Twichell proposed that farmers
elevators should be established in 300
towns of North Dakota. The stock In

OUT OF
DANGER

Glencove, N. Y, July 81. P,
Morgan is out of all danger. His
physicians have so notified his family.
Morgan's pulse is normal, his tenn
perature normal and he passed rest
full night.
Holt, the would-be assassin, on the
other hand is so weak that when his
keepers went to his cell to arouse
him, he could not sit up on his couch.
Unless his condition improves rapid
ly and there seemed no reason to ex-
pect so radical a change-it will be
impossible for him to be taken into
court for examination Wednesday.
All plans to submit Holt to further
questioning today were abandoned be-
cause of his serious condition. DR..
Guy Cleghorn, the jail physician, was
summoned early to Hollis cell. The
physician examined Holt thoroughly,
and found that his injuries were grav-
er thara at first thought. Extreme
weakness seemed to be the chief feat
ure of Hollis indisposition. This is
due, DR.. Cieghorn said, to the great
quantity of blood which Holt lost from
the wound over his eye. Two stitches
had been taken in this wound, but
the flow of blood was not entirely
checked. In addition Hoit's sustained
a black eye and his shoulder was
severely wrenched. He was struck a
powerful blow in the stomach which
left a mark that turned black and
blue.

Frederick Palmer Tells of
Life Along the Trenches

You can move only a few feet In a
straight line in this maze of human
warrens. The zigzag traverses locaiize
damage. On dull days in the stale
mate part of the line there have been
instances Of not a single casualty for
distance of a mile in twenty-four
hours. 1t is when the artillery fire is
concentrated and an effort is made TO
get through the barbed wire and take
trench that the casualty list leaps like
thermometer thrust from an icebox
into an oven.
So used have they become to trench
life that some soldiers prefer life in an
average trench on an average day to
that in btllets, because sniping has
elements of sport and. excitement. The
confidence and patriotism of the fight
ing men at the front are shown in
both officers and soldiers, even if they
have only few shillings put by, in
subscribing to the war loan.
The professional opinion of officers
at the front is that they are not els
couraged by the German offensive in
the east. They say the war must be
won by the killing of Germans and
that the farther the Germans are
drawn into the Russian quicksand the
more wastage for them. This period
of the war for the entente allies is
compared to that for the north in 1863
at the time of Lees and Jackson's sue
cess in Virginia and the confederate
advance in Pennsylvania, before Get
tysburg was won.

these elevators should be owned by
the farmers in proportion to their
land holdings. All profits earned by
the elevator below per cent on the
capital stock should be divided among
the members of the corporation as
dividends. All additional profits should
be divided on basis of patronage.
These elevators, said Mr.. Twichell,
should be united in one large corpor-
alton which should purchase a seat in
the Minneapolis board of trade. Such
corporation, he pointed out, would
control at least $4,000 900 bushels of
grain annually and would thus be in
position to force respect from the
board of trade and compel square
deal for the farmers.
The commissions received by the
corporation from the sale of wheat
could be returned, he said, to the in
dividual members without violating
the rules of the board
In this way, he pointed out, the
middlemen would be eliminated from
the marketing of the grain.
Mr.. LOTUS called attention to the
success of terminal elevators now own
ed, he declared, by the farmers of the
Pacific coast He also pointed out the
success of the equity plan in Kentucky,
