WHEAT TRANSPORTED
WITH AUTOMOBILES

Bismarck, Oct. 31.-With two-dollar
wheat comes taxicab transportation
This luxurious mode of travel for 70
bushels of grain which Matt Clooten
claimed as his has resulted in two taxi
drivers and a restaurant man being
placed under $500 bonds to answer to
charges of grand larceny.
The normal rate for taxis in Bis
marck is So the hour. The two taxis
used in this instance each made three
trips to the Clooten farm, 10 miles
from Bismarck, bringing in ten sacks
a: trip.
The defendants, Woford Gronx and
Roy Chamberlain, drivers for the Har-
ry Clooten livery, and a young man
named Tardy claimed, when arraigned
before Police Magistrate Dolan, that
they acted for fourth party, who hir-
ed them at regular rates to bring in
the wheat, la taxi, and who sold the
grain to local elevator. The same
man, they alleged, broke the lock on
the Clooten granary.

NORTH DAKOTA
assn. ORGANIZES
Temporary Organization Was Effected
in Minot-Will Hold Show in Con-
nectiOn With Midwinter Fair

A number of gentlemen interested
in the poultry business met at the Of
flee of the Association of Commerce
this week and perfected a temporary
organization of the Northwestern
North Dakota Poultry association, for
the purpose of holding annual poultry
shows at Minot, in conjunction with
the Midwinter Fair.
The organization was perfected by
electing the following officers, who will
direct the affairs of the association
until the first show:
President-John Stoudt, Minot.
Vice President-Geo. W. Walton,
Velva.
Treasurer-W. A. Peck, Minot.
Secretary-Will E. Holbein, Minot.
Directors-John Stoudt, Minot; W.
M. Wigham, Minot; w. W. Davenport,
Velva; A. B. Benoit, East Fairview;
u. A. Southam, Mohall; E. A. Madison,
Burlington; W. f. Sommerdorf, Town
er, and F. E. Ward, Minot.
In all likelihood several more direct
ors will be added within the next few
days, so as to interest all portions of
the northwestern portion of the state
in the association.
The membership fee was placed at
$1.00 per year, and all those who de-
sire to become affiliated with the as
sociation can do so by sending their re-
mittance to the secretary in care Of
the Association of Commerce, Minot,
N. D., and in turn he will issue the
usual membership card.
The poultry industry in the north
western part of the state is growing
by leaps and bounds, and in order to
assist prospective poultry raisers in
securing the breeds best adapted for
their needs poultry shows are becom-
ing an absolute necessity. At these
shows the man or woman who wants to
engage in the business can see for
themselves just what breed they think
best for them to raise, and the shows
also give them an opportunity to buy
the best on the market.
There is great deal of enthusiasm
all over the state at the present time
over the poultry industry, and this
part of the state cannot afford to lie
dormant on this important matter.
Ward county last year had over $685.
600 worth Of poultry. 1t would be easy
to quadruple this investment in one
year. The poultry association will help
wonderfully in this regard.
