WHAT GOVERNS THE PRICE OF
GRAIN?

Donnybrook, Nov. 20, 1915.
Editor Independent:
l noticed in your very interesting
paper of last week, the reply by the
Iowa farmer to the letter in the pre-
ceding issue, by Grain Grower.
am one of those fellows who does
not believe that tariff puts as much
cash in the farmers pockets, as does
good Transportation rates and ship
ping facilities.
For over six weeks last past, being
about the most of the present years
shipping season, according to the Min
neapolis Journal, not one bushel of
Canadian grain has been purchased
in Minneapolis, and there would not
have been any had there been free
trade or reciprocity between Canada
and the United States, for the reason
that Minneapolis wheat has been SELL
ing lower than the Winnipeg market.
Why has Winnipeg been higher?
Manitoba, the official classification, of
selling higher than Number One Du-
luth, (under which grade is North
Dakota), at the basic market Of the
world, Liverpool.
Aided by shipping facilities from
Fort Williams down the lakes, which
this year has been the best in the his
tory of Canada, the volume Of grain
has moved eastward like a mighty
river. Consequently Canada has been
a premium market all this fall. It
may be that when the Lakes freeze
up, and all-rail has to, be used to sea-
board, it will cause drop in the price
at Winnipeg. If so,, it would point
to one fact, and that is that it is
transportation facilities and not tariff
that affected the price. / do not be-
lieve that as general proposition
the tariff makes any difference in the
price the farmer gets for his grain,
and as long as conditions and trans
portation facilities remain as they
are, there is no use in North Dakota
farmers sitting up nights, in fear Of
the Canadian crop being dumped
into this state, the Optic Reporter to
the contrary, Notwithstanding.
! What has become of our old friend
Vandenoever and his mill scheme :?
That was good. If all the wheat rails
ed in North Dakota and the western
states was ground into flour and sold
right here there would be no Liver
pool market or Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce needed. The farmer
could dominate the Market, and have
no fear Of tariffs.

FIGURES FROM CENSUS
NOT YET TABULATED
H"o'
Prediction Made That Population Of
the District Will Show But
Little Increase.

It is expected that the police census
will be completed by the latter part of
next week. The work of the enumer-
ators is about finished and the figures
are being tabulated in the several sta
tions before being sent to headquarters
Maj. Pullman last night said he had
not the slightest idea what the figures
will show. He had heard nothing of
the tabulation in the precincts. he stat
ed. and he had nothing upon which to
base a prediction.
Members of the department who have
participated in the work of taking the
census for number of years LAST night
ventured the opinion that the figures
this year will not show 4 heavy in
crease over those reported two years
ago. when the population was 353,297,
as against total of 352,936 for the
year 1912.
Decrease in First Precinct.
1t is stated that the figures in the
first precinct show a decrease. This
precinct comprises much of the busi-
ness section of the city-a section in
which dwellings are constantly making
way for business enterprises and
where. it is stated. the police naturally
expect a decrease.
The elimination of the so-called red
light district from the city. the police
say. made difference in the population
Of the first precinct. most Of the resi-
dents of that section having gone to
other parts of the city.
Report From Fifth Precinct.
It was stated last night that the re-
turns for the fifth precinct, embrace
ing the southeast section of the city,
show decided falling off in popula-
ton. The police believe that large in
creases will be shown in some of the
precincts. especially in the seventh,
ninth. tenth and eleventh precincts,
which embrace the suburban sections.

TOXIC THINKS ALLIES
WANT CHINESE ARMS

TOXIC. Japan, November 20.-The
impression prevails at Toxic that in
seeking to induce China to join the
entente alliance the powers concerned
are interested in the possibility of pre-
vailing upon China to furnish arms to
the allies. Chinese arsenals are rated
as excellent. China's entrance into the
entente would permit of the manufac-
ture in that country OF rifles for the
allies. and particularly Russia, which
is badly In need of them.
