GOOD RECORD FOR N. P.
Only One Passenger Killed During
Past Year on Entire System of
the Road.

According to the report of the state
railway commissioners for the calen-
dar year 1914, only one employee of
the Northern Pacific was killed in the
state of Montana during the year.Not
a fireman or conductor was killed dur
ing the year on the entire transcon-
tinental system.
The following is a comparison of
the records as contained in the COM
missioner's report: On the Great
Northern, 81 people were killed dur
ing the year, IL of these being en-
ployes. On the Milwaukee road, 10
were killed, four of whom were en-
ployes. On the Northern Pacific, 29
we're killed. One of these was an en-
ploye and the other % were stealing
rides. n~.
"The Northern Pacific has the clean
est record of any transcontinental
road in the United States" said Chas
T. Banks special representative of the
road. This last year has seen a net
decrease of Sc per cent in the total
deaths on the entire system for 1914
No passengers, except ON in the state
of Washington, were killed during the
year. The central district of the Nor
thern Pacific, which extends from
Mandan, N. D. to Paradise, distance
of 1920 miles, has spotless record
With last years accomplishments tt
build upon, it is our intention to ap.
proach as near as possible a perfect
record for the present year"

GRAIN BILL FACES FIGHT
Senator Knute Nelson and A. ]. GrOn-
ma Plan to Oppose Federal
Standardization.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Hearings on
the Moss bill for government STAN
dardization of grain before the senate
committee on agriculture in the past
10 days developed the fact that there
will be considerable opposition to it
if it is brought on the floor of the
senate. Among the opponents Of the
measure is Senator Knute Nelson,
who declares the Minnesota system Of
grain grading is satisfactory. Sena-
tor A. ]. Gronna of North Dakota al
so said that it is doubtful whether he
will vote for the bill in it's present
form.
One objection to the Moss bill is
that it makes it impossible for the
secretary of agriculture to change a
grade after it has been established.
Officials of the department have ask
ed those in charge of the measure to
change it in this regard, but so far
they have been unsuccessful.
B. F. Benson and W.O. Zimmerman
of Minneapolis, who appeared before
the committee this week as the repre-
sentatives of the grain commission
merchants of the Minneapolis cham
Der of commerce and the Duluth
board of trade, have supplemented
their oral argument; in favor of the
bill with answers to certain questions
asked by the committee. The ques-
tons are as follows: -,-..
"What are the evils of the present
system of grain inspection?'
"Under the present system or sys-
TENS the definitions of the various
grades are different in different mar
kets. Under the present system or
systems, even where nominally the
same rule exists, those rules are ap-
piled differently in different markets.
In some markets the inspection rules
are not always applied in a uniforra
way at all seasons of the year and
under all conditions. Present des-
criptions of grades are too general in
their terms and are therefore too
elastic" '"".. =.
what would be the benefits of uni
form grading?"
Uniform grading would create
more confidence in the grain trade,
This confidence would reduce the risk
of merchandising grain, and this re-
duction of the risk would permit the
handling of grain on smaller mar
gins"
"Who would he the benefciaries OF
uniform grading?"
"It would benefit producers because
first, the reduction in the cost of mel.
chandizing would bring better net re.
turns; second, with uniform grading
in various markets the producer coult
ship to which ever market happens t.
be bidding the highest price for any
one grade, growing high quality grair
would be surer of getting the price *
which his high quality would entitlt
him."
"What difficulties stand in the wa!
of uniform grading 2"
eve can see no difficulties. In fac
we believe that legislation as rropos

ONE ROAD BRINGS IN 20.0G0
Great Northern Records Show Big
Influx of Homeseekers to Min
nesOta Last Year.

That Northern Minnesota has been
the beneficiary of immigration activi-
ties of the Great Northern road in
1914 is shown by the statement just
received in letter to G. Roy Hall,
traffic manager of the Duluth Com
mercial Club from W. P. Kenney, vice
president of the Great Northern. 1t
is probable that Northern Minnesota
has proftted more than any other
section along the road.
( According to Vice President Ken
ney's letter the road moved during
last year to Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon total of 3,O53
cars of immigrant movables.
Of that number of cars 1,761 were
destined to points on the Great Nor
them in Minnesota. That, of course,
p.eans, for the most part, Northern
Minnesota; and it also means, accord
ing to the letter, that more that So
per cent of the result of the roads
immigration work came to Minnesota
and located here.
( This, says Mr.. Kenney, is 200 cars
greater than the movement of the
previous year. Mr.. Kenney adds that
the officials have found, on investi-
cation, that each car of immigrant
movables easily represents the effects
of three families, on the average,
which would mean that 5,283 families
came to Minnesota in 1914 to settle
on land along the Great Northern.
Taking the basis of five to a family,
the population added by this roads
work alone would make 26,465.
The Great Northern pursue a sys-
te,natic campaign for immigrants, u.s.
ing exhibits at state and county fairs
through the middle west and south
west, and in many places establishing
permanent exhibits. They also have
conducted in the southeast, south and
southwest steropticon lectures, and
exhibition cars working through vari-
GUS parts of the country.
The showing made by the road last
year is considered remarkable.

many years, was burned to death at
the home of the family early yester-

Fire broke out in the johnson resi-
dence about five o'clock yesterday
morning in one of the lower rooms
in the northwest corner of the house.
The smoke and flames communicated

number of years. Her tragic death
is mourned deeply. The father has.
been resident at Dassel for many
years where he was employed as
tailor. He is quite aged.
The fire department, notwithstand-
ing the early hour of the blaze, was
able to make a good stop. The fire
was confined to the northwest corner
of the house. ......
Dassel was just recovering from
the tragic death of the late O. M.
Palmquist, only to be shaken by this
second tragic death. ".E

CATALOGUES BY THE CAR

The Fargo postoffice has received
and mailed out the first carload of
1915 catalogues from the Chicago,
mail order houses. From now on a
carload will arrive every four days,
until finished. Last year 40 carloads,
were distributed from the Fargo post
office and probably twice as many will
be sent out this year. These cata-
logues were shipped to Chicago by
freight and mailed from there into"
the first and second parcel post zones.
In this way the mail order houses
save a large amount of postage. It,
will be noted that these eighty car
loads of Chicago catalogues are dis
tributed throughout comparatively
small area in the northwest, and from
this interesting bit of information the
local merchants of this part of the
country can easily figure how strong
hold the mail order houses have. orsa

FORMER RESIDENT DEAD
Henry Marie. Prominent Fergus
Falls Business Man, Called Fol-
lowing an Operation.

Henry Marie, who has for years
been one of the city's most promi-
nent citizens, died at 4:30 o'clock last
Saturday morning.
Mr.. Mares health has been fail
ing for some time past. He has suf-
fered severely from gall stones, and
an operation was performed Friday
in the hope of saving his life. The
operation disclosed the fact that his
condition was even more serious than
supposed, and it was apparent that
there was little chance of his recovery
He sank gradually and died at the
hour stated.
Mr.. Marie was born in Wisconsin,
July Fl, 1851 being 63 years months
and 81 days old at the time of his
death.
He was married at Winona, April
10, 1881, to Miss Dora G. Wertsline,
and they later moved to Sank Centre.
He came to Fergus Falls from that
city in 1898, and with his brother
Charles, engaged in the harness bus
mess on Bismark avenue. They later
moved to the building now occupied
by the city electric light store on Lin
coin avenue, and 1896, bought out
Howe hardware store on Bismark av-
enue, and conducted two stores. He
was in partnership with Chas. Feath-
erstone for time and also with his
brother, VIM, who came here from
Sank Centre, and who later conducted
the hardware store on Lincoln avenue
west, which he sold to the Taylor
Hardware Co.
In 1904, ]. H. Bell bought out the
Luedke Hardware store then conduct
ed in what is now the Durrell block,
and consolidated in with the hardware
stock owned by Mr.. Marie, who had at
this time discontinued the harness
business. The firm name of Marie &
Bell was established and the have ev-
er since conducted the hardware store
on Lincoln avenue east. In May 1912
the firm incorporated and has since
been known as the Marie & Bell
Hardware Co.
Mr.. Marie was a good business man
good citizen, and a devoted husband
and father. He was highly regarded
in the community and every man with
whom he was acquainted was his
friend. He is one of the citizens that
Fergus Falls can i'll afford to lose,
and his death will occasion genuine
sorrow among his acquaintance, as
we'll as in the immediate family circle
His wife and family will have sincere
sympathy.
The family consists of A. C. Marie,
of New York Mills, Henry P. Marie,
who is associated with his father in
the hardware business, Robert Marie,
of St. Paul, and Mrs. Chas. Schune-
mann, of Minneapolis. He is surviv-
ed by his brothers, VIM. Marie, of
this city, and A. E. Marie who con-
ducts an extensive paint business in
Minneapolis. He also has a sister re-
siding in Minneapolis.-Fergus Falls
