SCORES Of FRIENDS PAY
LAST RESPECTS TO DEAD
Funeral of Late Samuel Unken.
holz One of Largest in Man.
dams History

One of the largest gatherings ever
assembled at a funeral in this vicin
ity was the assemblage of friends who
paid their last tribute to the late Sam
uel w. UnkenhOlz at the funeral serv
ices at Rural Methodist church Sun
day afternoon.
The Rev. F. f. Boothby, pastor OF
the church, preached the sermon, full
of tribute to the memory of an earn
est, faithful husband and father, and
of consolation to the mourning sons
and daughters, brother and sisters.
Special music was rendered. The re-
mains were carried to their last rest
ing place in the little churchyard GEM
etery, where the wife was buried Is
months ago, by John and Charles
Schaus, o. Griffin, Harry Center. John
Dawson and John Anderson, all old
timers in this vicinity and close
friends of the deceased.
The late Mr. Unkenholz, wealthy
farmer and extensive stakeholder in
the Farmers elevator, the Farmers
Equity bank, and other well known
concerns, left no will. His property
was decided to his surviving sons and
daughters, and there will be little
necessary legal procedure.

JAMESTOWN PROTESTS.

jamestown, n. d., Aug. 22.--Citt-
zcns of jamestown and vicinity, at a
special mass meeting conducted in the
Commercial cllD rooms yesterday, pro
tested against the plan Of fixing the
price of wheat at $1.G5 per bushcl
Strong kilograms of protests were pre-
pared, endorsed by all present, and
forwarded to Washington with all
haste.
"By fixing the price of wheat at
81 60 per bushcl it means practically
81 durum wheat" said Banker IVES
ley Mcdowell, of Marion, y. d., in
discussing the issue. ''TO fix the
price at $lG5 per bushcl would mean
a big loss and injustice to North Da.
kota farmers"
Oscar J. Seller, secretary of the
North Dakota efficiency commission,
stated that Stutsman county has not
produced half a crop this year, and
that the state yield will not average
more than seven bushels to the acre.
"Rather than sell his wheat at 81 .G3
per bushcl the farmer can well afford
to feed it to his hogs, which are now
bringing unprecedented prices said

NORTH DAKOTA RAIL
BOARD OPPOSES PLAN
TO INCREASE MINIMUM
Commission Objects to Boost Be-
cause It Will Mean Higher
Freight Rates

North Dakota does not altogether
approve of the proposal that the mini
mum carloads for all commodities be
increased as a means of relieving the
strain on rolling stock. The state rail
way commission SO advised last eve
ming the interstate commerce commits
sioncr at Chicago, before whom there
is hearing on this question in prog
ress today.
The commissions objections arc
based on a number of facts. First, it
is impossible to load many grades of
agricultural machinery to higher car
load minimum capacity than that now
established, and to raise the carload
minimum on such shipments will mean
merely that a higher freight rate is
imposed on the shipper. Second, the
commission holds, it discriminates
against the small dealer, who may not
need carload at any one time, but
who is compelled by the proposed rul-
ing to order in large carload lots that
he may obtain the benefit Of the mini
mum rate. This, the commission holds,
would tend to encourage the boarding
of merchandise and the tying up Of
money, neither of which is regarded
an advisable practice. In the third
place, the commission urges, agricul-
tural machinery dealers in particular
because of the present scarcity of steel
and other materials find it impossible
even now to buy in full carload lots,
and if the minimum is increased this
difficulty will be enhanced just 50
much.
The North Dakota rail board asks
that. these facts be taken into consil-
Grafton and carefully weighed before
a change is made in the present mini
mum.

Was Not Consulted
The state railway commission, which
in North Dakota has jurisdiction over
all elevators, heard nothing of IIoOv-
Cr's proposed 3OIday clause for stOr-
age tickets until letters began pour
ing in from elevator companies and
protests from grain growers. The
elevator companies found the clause
clearly in conflict with the provisions
of the North Dakota laws governing
their business, and they requested q
ruling from the commission. In re-
Spouse to all queries the commission
has advised that no change be made
in the legalized form of storage tickets
now in use in this state until further
advice is obtained from Hoover.
The Hoover circular is addressed to
terminal elevators, but has been sent
out broadcast, and the wording would
make it apply to all elevators.
