Freight Rates Cripple
Packing Plant Project

Lisbon, March 11.-Several obstac-
les to the establishment of packing
house plant in North Dakota have de-
veloped, according to NJ. P. Casey, Of
this place, who is a member of the
committee appointed by the Equity So
ciety to investigate the feasibility Of
the proposition and to determine the
location of the plant
One of these is a discovery that the
freight rates on packing house COM
modities are prohibitive and that the
packing plant could not hope to sur
vive until an adjustment was reached.
This is not the fault of the rail-
roads particularly, for the rates apply
in general on many undeveloped in
dustries in North Dakota. In making
rates for the state the roads listed
the same lines of industries as found
elsewhere. For years the tariffs have
not been changed because the state
had no packing plants and the ques-
| tion was never made an issue.
But with the proposed establish
ment of the packing house the mat
ter of rates is vital and must be de-
termined before the plan is started.
investigation of the factory proDo-
sition indicates that while plant for
slaughtering hogs might be profitable.
it is extremely doubtful whether a
plant to handle cattle would ever pay
because of the difficulty in disposing
of the by-products. The location of
the plant will be determined in about
80 days.

Rumor Points to Fight
on Primary Election Law

Bismarck, March 14.-Notice of elec-
ton for the North Dakota presidential
preference primary of March 21, pub
lished today, shows q democrats seek
national convention honors. At the
same time rumors were afloat that a
fight would be made against the law,
before the primary, alleging that, the
law DISTINGUISHES persons desiring to
send to national conventions men
pledged to candidates not allowing
their names used on the primary bal
lots.
Outside of contests among delegates,
there will be no fight in North Dako.
ia. Woodrow Wilson is the only demo.
cratic and Henry D. Estabrook the
only republican nominee. Senator La
Toilette has the progressive nomina-
tion. "Regulars" in the republican
ranks have declined to endorse Esta-
brook and are noncommittal.

peace and plenty.

Railroads Get More
Of Farmers Earnings

jamestown, March 10.-A fiat in
crease Of half cent a bushel in car
rying charges for grain from North
! Dakota points to Minnesota terminals
is being made in some localities in
this state by the railroads. The Great
Northern first advanced the rates and
the 500 and the Northern Pacific fol-
lowed. The raise is not statewide,
but farmers fear it may become gen.
eral.
A similar raise all over the state
would mean loss to the farmers of
about $5,O00,0O0 annually, and a cor
responding increase in the revenue OF
, the railroads.
| Attorneys say the state railway
commission has no power to prevent
this action by the roads as the rates
are on interstate traffic. All the COM
mission could do, they say, would be
to file a formal protest with the roads
and with the interstate commerce COM
mission.
| In justification of the advance re-
presentatives of the railroads say that
North Dakota farmers are enjoying
lower grain rates than the farmers of
Montana, South Dakota or Minnesota
and that the raise is necessary to
make the operation of the lines prof
table. ...
Leaders of the Equity discussed the
situation here and signified their in
tention of making a direct appeal to
the Interstate commerce commission
and also to members of both branches
Fof congress from this state in order to
head off the movement before it be-
comes statewide and so firmly estab-
lished that it will be difficult to up
root II.
Merchants as we'll as farmers are
complaining about an advance in rates
although the methods in relation to
them are different. Instead Of nat
increase in commodity rates the rail.
roads are advancing classiications.

Green Land Company Invests
$l86,000 in Barnes County
Real Estate Within One Week

Lively interest is being shown in the
buying and selling of land in Barnes
county this spring. Big deals in dirt
are being announced in rapid success
sion, and there is no question but that
the showing Barnes county made agri.
culturally last season is bringing set
tiers here in large numbers.
The w. A. Green Land Company has
handled several deals quite recently,
and the people they are bringing to the
farms sold are practical farmers who
will help along with our rural prosper
ity by their industry and knowledge of
intensified farming.
Among the recent purchases of land
by this company are:
The VIM. Flory farm of $50 acres
near Oriska.
The w. L. Haskins farm of $40 acres
near Leal.
The H. A. Perrin farm of 100 acres
near EckelsOn.
The Susan Ferguson farm of 100
acres north of Oriska.
The Hendricks farm Of 320 acres
north of Tower City.
Conrad Hoff and family Of nine chill
dren (some family arrived Tuesday

fries, Mimi, are the new residents on
the Henry Detmers farm.
VIM. Boddey, from Platte Center,
Neb., takes 240 acres two and one-half
miles southeast of Oriska.
The aggregate of land sales in

mendous, and the bringing in of prac-
tical and well-informed farmers will
give our agricultural industries a big
impetus.
