THE NORTHERN PACKING COM.
PAEY.

Tho most important industrial step
taken in North Dakota for many
years, and in it's size and possibilities
the greatest thus far in It's history, is
the organization Of the Northern
Packing company. whose articles Of
incorporation have just been filed
in the office Of the secretary of state
at Bismarck. The authorized capital
ization Of the company is $500, 900, ifs
business will be the handling of live
stock and the preparation and sale
Of meat products therefrom. and the
company's headquarters and plant will
be at Grand Forks.
The field has been carefully investi-
gated, and for months there has been
in progress survey of the state with
reference to the quantity and distibu-
ton Of live stock. facilities for ship
ment, transportation facilities for
both raw material and finished pro-
duct, and all other matters pertaining
to the subject. The result of this sur
vey has been to convince experienced
and conservative business men, some
Of whom have had years of practical
experience in the handling Of this line
Of business, that there are exception
al opportunities in North Dakota for a
plant Of this kind. The state has now
a large supply Of animals available
for such plant, and it is certain that
with the plant in operation and a sat
isfactory market right at their doors.
the farmers will be more than ready
to increase their production, and thus
to make feasible and profitable that
diversification of industry without
which our state cannot enjoy perma-
nent success.
In the organization of the company.
care has been taken to keep foremost
the idea Of making this a peoples en-
terprise. Some Of the best business
mon In Grand Forks are identified
with it, but it will be by no means ex-

SHEEP and LAMB
RATES REDUCED
Lambs Discounted About
Half a Dollar Last Week
Supplies About 5000.

South st. Paul. Sept. "A reduc-
tion Of SO cents in lamb prices was ef-
fected on the local market last week.
The cutting down of the schedule
governing this cfass of stock was per-
formed the first half Of the week, re-
ductions on two days in succession
putting best spring lambs at the 1926
stock would have brought 1915 on the
closing session the week previous.
The kinds included under the class
ification Of seconds sold on the last
few days of the week mostly around
$3.50. This figure is all Of dollar
under the schedule Of two weeks ago.
Best kinds, too, are almost that much
lower now than they were at the
best time then. From the lamb crop
stuff at sharp discounts.
Mature stock had little easier
going during the session and the clos
ing saw best handyweight ewes being
sold for $6.75, at least rs cents lower
than the best prices being offered
last week. Heavy ewes were given
the usual discrimination by packers
from $5.26 to So.
Feeder call all week has been good
considering circumstances but the
supplies have been scarce. The mar
ket maintained good position until
the rail situation developed into g.
critical case late and then some cas-
ing off was noticed.
Breeding ewes continued to main
tain lofty level until late in tho
week when a quarter was shaved
off. This drop also was attributed
to the threatened strike Of rail en-
ployes. With the settlement Of this
problem, however, traders look for
a continued good market on this kind
Of material.
Outside markets went on a ramp
age at the middle of the week and
prices went more than dollar high
er. 1t was only temporary Jump,
though, and the final two days saw
quotations going back to where they
were at the start.
Sheep and lamb trade was at a.
standstill early Saturday and sellers
found it hard to get a bid Of any
kind at the start. A few sales at
steady rates were finally made.
Estimated receipts were 1000 sheep
and lambs, making total for the week
about 5000 against 5,425 the previous
week and 1851 a year ago.

had been done to warrant the use of
q more speedy method of transmits
sion than the mails, and it had the en-
tire text of the revised New Testa-
ment cabled across. and that text was
published in full on the day follow
ing its appearance in England. The
people of that time were not study
ing the Bible in exactly the same
manner that had been followed by
their parents, but the newspaper
which performed that remarkable
feat made q correct estimate of the
status OF the Bible in public senti-
ment. Notwithstanding all that has
come and gone. the old book remain
ed, and still remains, the very founda-
ton of much that is highest and best
in our life.
Today there are occasional sugges-
ttons that the Bible should be brought
down to date in the matter of phrase
olosy. The English of the Bible is
not the English of our common
speech. Some samples have been
published Of the form in which we'll
known passages would appear If rem
dered according to the views of these
ultra moderns. After reading a num-
Der of these we recommend that the
work be not undertaken. There is
plenty of opportunity for the use Of
modern English in explanation and
discussion. But the Bible is book
apart. The English in which it is
rendered is peculiarly adapted to the
subjects of which it treats. And it
is just as well that it should remain,
in its pharseology as we'll as in its
other features, little different from
the ordinary literature of the day.

old NOBILITY
OF FRANCE ON
firing LINE
Duke of Rohan's Funeral is
Recognition of Heroic
Work.

Paris, Aug. 20.-Correspondence of
the Associated Press. 1.-THE Duke Of
Rohan, killed in the battle OF the
somme, has had one OF the most i'm
posing funerals seen in France dur
ing the war. It was not only tribute
to the heroic young nobleman, but
public recognition that the sons Of
the old nobility Of France are fighting
for the republic with the same ardor
that the old nobility fought for the
kings.
The Rohans are among the famous
old fighting families Of France. They
fought at the siege Of La Rochelle.
They were among the musketeers of
Louis XIV. One Of them was known
as the young Hero" in the Seven
Years war. Another became bishop
and built the famous palace at Strass-
burg which is still an architectular
wonder. But while aristocrats. they
shared the views Of Lafayette and
other French noblemen admiring re-
publican institutions, and the present
generation Of the family has been one
Of the most enthusiastic supporters of
the republic.
The young Duke Of Rohan first
showed his republican sympathies by
becoming q member OF the chamber
Of deputies. But he was no sooner
elected than the war broke out, and
he entered the republican army as
second lieutenant. One day when
of the chamber. and heard q deputy
spouting politics to a circle Of listen
ers. The duke murmured dissent to
some Of the political statements,
whereupon the deputy angrily ex-
"This war has brought a great many
strangers to the surface. I do not
know this strange young man who
dissents."
II am sorry you do not know me-"
said tho duke. LET me introduce my
self as one Of your colleagues Of tho
chamber Of deputies. member for
LAube. If you have not seen mo
there, it is because I have been at
tho front and have not set my foot
in the chamber since the war began"
A little later the duke returned

South st. Paul, Sept. 4.-Buyers in

run for the corresponding week In
August, 1915, was shaded, however.
The trade throughout the week
proved that conditions as they exist
ed at outside points had less bearing
than usual on the local deal at times.
If they had during the past week the
teeter-totter affair. Local trade did

The week previous saw very lofty
prices paid for hogs and also witness
ed rather sharp reaction. Last weeks
business went along just about where
the prices stopped tumbling during
that period. The first session of the
week saw the previous Saturdays
prices duplicated. Some betterment
of prices came on the Tuesday deal
when best hogs sold at a nickel ad-
vance and tops were taken to the
scales after being cashed for $10.55.
The slightly better bidding was car
ried along on succeeding sessions to

thing was taken over the latter part
Of the week at figures which appeared
somewhat better than those for the
week previous, barring Saturdays

Choice quality hogs were not CASH

week. Mixed and heavy lots made

The finished porkers still are in

There was fairly good call all

affected this class of stock somewhat
and the market is closing little low

most Of the crop on the closing ses-
sion. A price Of 1915, though, was
paid for some of the very best Of
this kind on the final rounds.
Hog prices Saturday were sharply

from 35 to so cents lower, ranging
from $3.50 to $1O.10 with bulk at

BIBLE REVISION.

A brief news dispatch records the
death at his home in Pittsburgh, at
the age Of 80, of Rev. Matthew Brown
Riddle, scholar and theologian, who
was the last surviving member Of the
American committee on New Testa-
ment revision. The mention Of this
fact recalls the interest which was
manifested few years ago in the re-
vision Of the English Bible. The text
with which the English speaking
world was then familiar was that
which had been prepared under the
authority of King James. the dedica-
tion to whom. in language which now
seems strangely servile. Is still printed
in most standard editions. Many good
people were shocked at the thought
of such a thing as a revision of the
text which they had been taught to
hold sacred. There were many
acrimonious debates, and so strong
was the sentiment that had grown up
around the great book that there
were found many men Of education
who chung stubbornly to strange be-
lief in the inspiration Of the very
phraseology Of the English text Of a
book which had admittedly passed
through many translations from the
diverse languages in which it's parts
had first appeared.
The work was undertaken and car
rled through, and the commission that
undertook it was acknowledged to be
the most learned that had ever UNDER
taken similar task. No more strik-
ing tribute to the faithfulness Of the
King James translators could have
been given than was given by the re-
vision committee Of the Nineteenth
century. for, with the broader schol-
arship Of the later age, and with ac-
cess to numerous sources Of knowl-
edge not available to their predeces-
sors. the later commission accepted
most Of the work that had been done
without change, and such changes as
were made were very slight. and
changed the essential meaning Of the
text in no important particular.
Complaint is sometimes made that
the Bible has lost its hold on the peo-
pie. 1t is an undoubted fact that
there has been marked change in
the manner in which the Bible is
used. And it is unfortunately true
that the rising generation is less ia
miliar with the text than those of ear
lier years have been. But is is re-
called that when the work of the gen.
eral revision committee was announc-
ed as complete, and the revised ver-
sion was made public in England, one
American newspaper believed that
there was sufficient interest in what

NO MEMBERSHIP FOR
EQUITY ORGANIZATION
Conference Shows Impracticability of
Entering Livestock Exchange.

South ST. Paul. Sept. 4.-No action
whatever was taken Saturday at the
meeting of the board of directors Of
the South st. Paul Livestock Ex-
change when the application Of the
Equity Cooperative exchange for a
membership in the local organization
was taken up. The session resolved
itself into a long discussion of the sit
uatton with Fred E. Osborn, manager
OF the livestock department of the
equity exchange Rules Of the ex-
change here prevented the admission
OF the applicants whose fundamental
principles are directly opposite those
of the South st. Paul exchange.
Mr.. Osborn, who was present at
the meeting, said that he appreciated
the position the exchange was placed
in in view Of the bylaws and said he
could not see how things could be ar
ranged so his organization could Sc
cure seat in the local exchange as
1t would be impracticable to take out
a $4,000 membership for every three
equity stockholders as the rules would
require.
The local Office of the cooperative
organization will be opened here on
october l when 1t is proposed to en-
ter the livestock business in the yards
here.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 4. 1915
JUST A PRELIMINARY.

1t may be correct to say that every
body is glad that there is to be no
strike. but the number Of those who
are not pleased that the danger Of
one at this time has been averted is
so small that the feeling Is prac-
tically unanimous. Among those best
pleased are many Of the older railroad
employees. who were not In favor Of
a strike, and who. had a strike come,
would have found themselves forced
to choose between action in opposition
to that Of the unions Of which they
are members and the sacrifice Of i'm
portant interests which had taken
long years to build up. and which.
because of advancing years, could
never have been recovered.
But, while the action Of congress
and Of the officers Of the brother
hoods are final so far as the strike
set for Labor day is concerned, we
have merely entered upon the pre-
liminaries Of one Of the greatest
problems that the country has ever
faced.
Shall the eight hour day become a
fixture in the railroad business?
Shall it extend to all forms Of indus
| trial occupation. and practically at
once7 Shall It extend to the grades
Of railroad service not represented in
these late negotiations? Whence
shall funds be derived to meet what
ever additional charges are entailed?
How shah the great public, which
has greater interest than any other
party in every great labor dispute,
protect itself against the possibility
of the breaking down Of those enter
prises whose operation has become es-
sential to It's existence? What about
arbitration in the future7 Shall the
government definitely assume respon-
sibility for the performance Of public
service when the ordinary agencies
fail? Shall it order railway managers
Grand Forks herald., 1916-09-04

to keep their property in operation.
and shall it assume similar authority
over the train conductor and engi-
neer. the section hand and bridge
tender?
These are some OF the questions
which must be answered. The Adam
son bill answers none Of them. That
law merely makes specific provision
for particular case. But the whole
thing must be the subject of an in
vestigation on the results of which
may depend action more revolution
ary than anything that we have con-
templated.
