NON-PAR7ZSAN LEAGUE IS
DETERMINED TO CLEAN UP
MINNEAPOLIS WHEAT PIT

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec 6.-The dedi-
cation of the newly-construtted farm
ers' terminal elevator, erected by the
Equity Cooperative exchange, at q
cost of 100000, featured today's ses-
sions Of the third annual convention
Of the Equity Cooperative Exchange
A parade OF hundreds of farmers, head
ed by platoon of mounted police,
moved to the elevator location on the
upper levee. shortly after the time set
for the opening Of the afternoon ses-
sion.
With dipper full of murky water
from the Mississippi river j. M. An
derson, president of the Equity Co.
operative Exchange, splashed the con-
crete wall of the new building and
formally dedicated it to the purpose
for which it was erected, while more
than 5000 persons stood by and cheer.
ed. The several persons who aided
with the dedicatory exercises were
also given a liberal christening from
the same pail by Mr. Anderson as
they concluded their remarks. with
the single exception Of Henry Mccall,
st. Paul commissioner of public safety.
AS the president turned to the crowd
to introduce him, Mr.. Mccall scooped
up cupful of water and christened
the speaker
President Anderson said it was sim
gularly symbolic that water from the
Mississippi river should be used in
christening the elevator, since its erec.
tfon marked the beginning of a period
when wheat raised by the northwest
farmer will ibe shipped down that
river and distributed at various ports
of the inland waterway.
Robert Bridges. president of the Port
of Seattle commission, congratulated
the northwest farmers on their
achievement in building the terminal
elevator and urged a movement in
Minnesota looking to the early estab.
lishment of sufficient dockage and
wharfage to accommodate the freight
business which the exchange is sure
to bring to this section.
Representatives of equity farmers
from North Dakota. South Dakota
Montana and Minnesota spoke in
praise Of the movement which has re
suited in completion Of the structure
At the morning session Representa-
tive Magnus Johnson of Kimball
Minn.. sounded a warning to the big
business interests against opposing the
farmers, particularly in Minnesota
where a non-partisan league fight is
beginning, clash which 1t predicted
to be more bitterly fought than that
which marked the victory of the league
In North Dakota.
With regard to the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Johnson
said:
1--WE do not want to destroy the
chamber of commerce, but we mean
to clean it up, to have its rules changed
and to have it do better and cleaner
business. With the help of the com
mon people," Mr.. Johnson continued
''if the big interests dare to vote
against farm measures we are going
to clean them up. We are going to dc
it better than we did in North Da
kota.'
F. o. Richards, author of the Soutl
Dakota primary law, who spoke after
Mr.. Johnson. explained to the farmers
the need of parties.
M. v. Boody, secretary of the NORTH
Dakota State Equity union, in his ad
dress, spoke against the over-capital
ization Of railroads, and E. A. Bennett
of Great Falls, Mont, explained his
plan for developing national cooper
alive system
Fergus County Democrat., 1916-12-07

In his afternoon address Mr.. Bridges
advocated the public ownership of ele.
vators, wharves and docks. when you
have to draw on the producer for
funds to establish elevators, wharves
and docks, the burden is too great"
said Mr.. Bridges. "Such things should
be publicly owned and operated as is
being done in Canada, California and
Louisiana"
In explaining his statements Mr..
Bridges drew examples from informa-
tion gained by his experience as presi.
dent Of the Port of Seattle commits
sion. In closing. Mr.. Bridges recon-
mended that Minnesota start dock
system in cooperation with other
states interested in river shipping.
The big parade Of the afternoon was
followed by downtown demonstra-
tion at night. Starting from the Equity
headquarters at the old First National
bank buildings the evening parade,
with two bands playing and headed
by squad of mounted police, passed
through the loop district. Each march.
er carried fiaring sparkler. Brief
stops were made at the downtown
hotels where fresh supply OF torches
were distributed and the procession

BOOSTING ELks' BALL.

Randall B. Vrooman of Grass Range
spent part of Sunday and Monday
in the city boosting the first annual
ball Of the Grass Range Elks, which
will take place Saturday, December
16, the proceeds of which will be do
mated toward the building fund of the
local Elks' lodge. The great question
confronting the Grass Range mem
bers of the local lodge was ovefcome
when arrangements were made which
allowed them to use the newly erected
French garage. in which to stage the
dance. Mr.. Vrooman was confident
from the interest displayed locally a
large contingent of Lewistown people
would be in attendance. and it is be,
lieved special train will be used for
the purpose of transporting them to

will be in attendance and with the
fine large floor space and good music
an enjoyable time is assured.

DEFENDANT On
WITNESS STAND
YOUNG JOHN FINK DENIES ALL
KNOWLEDGE OF KILLING
OF FRED C. GiLLiS.
TRIAL WILL Be RESUMED TODAY

When the case of John Fink.
Gillis, was set for trial it was thought
three days would allow plenty of time
for it, but the third day of the trial
was consumed yesterday and it is a
question II the case will reach the
jury tonight.
AS was expected the state rested
yesterday after several witnesses had
been recalled to testify as to minor
points and Deputy Game Warden Tom
Berkin had been examined as an ex-
pert on fire arms. Mr.. Berkin de-
scribed the effect of pistol shots at
short distances from the object shot
with respect to powder marks. this
being for the purpose of overcoming
a theory tentatively held by the de-
Tense that Gillis was not murdered at
all but had committed suicide. The
testimony Of the game warden was
strong and convincing as to the points
covered by him, and he had fortified
what he stated by actual demonstra.
tions.
DIR. H. H. Wilson was called by the
state to testify somewhat as to the
same matters and he was positive
enough also as to the matters covered
by him, but his testimony did not Off
set Mr.. Berkin's evidence on the mat
ters contended for by the state. The
doctors cross examination was a mat
ter OF seconds.
The witnesses called by the state
during Monday were Harry Grif.
fin, s. C. Kerr and United States
Commissioner Byron C. Glow. While
their testimony was largely of a pre-,
liminary nature. that given by Mr..
Glow. who conducted the inquest, was
most important. He testified as to the
finding of the body and was present
when DR.. Faulds performed the au'
tOpsy and extracted the bullet. The
witness identified this bullet, and said
it was home made and the shell had
teen loaded with black powder and
this bullet put in it, while he con
cluded that cap removed from
another cartridge had been used on
this home made product. He visited
Fink's cabin and secured some simi
lar home made bullets and can ol
black powder. such as this particular
shell had contained, as shown by the
black smut on the base Of the bullet
