ACCUMULATION !
OF EXPORTS IS
MUCH REDUCED
Congestion of Freight at At

Washington. Oct. ga reduction
Of 81 per cent in the accumulation Of
export freight at Atlantic ports be-
tween last December and October I,
was reported today by the Railroad
Administration, after a survey Of op-
erations at New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore. Newport Newstand
Norfolk. Last December, the export
accumulations were 1890 carloads
about 1000. 900 tons-with 1852
loads standing in. cars on congested
sidings. On October l, this accumla-
ton had been reduced to 1896 car
loads.
This accomplishment Of the rail-
roads is' regarded by officials as high
~ important in eliminating the
clogged condition Of the ports, and
doubling the ports capacity in the
seven months period.
The records show that railroad IA
%cilities for export have not been forced
to their extreme limit at any time dur
ing the past six months, although the
tonnage, except for August, has in
creased each month.
The improved conditions have been
brought about. the report said, by Di-

Editor, Grand Forks American:
I have just read the article in your

heading: "B%urtness Gave, $135 to

Shown in Letter." I am certain you
or explain mis-statements therein not
Warranted by the facts.
The sur Of $135 sent to Mr.. Moore

one of the townships Of the county.
The money was used to buy postage
stamps for mailing material prepar-
ed by the Independent Voters Associa-
ton, which was in charge Of the
Steen campaign, to the voters Of
Grand Forks county.
I desire most emphatically, howev-
er, to take issue with the charge of
double dealing and of. knitting Fra
zier," contained in your report. I at
no time supported Mr.. Frazier in the
1918 primary campaign. In fact, I
thought I was rather active against
it. I was a member Of the state ex-
ecutive committee Of the Independent
Voters association. I addressed ten
public gatherings in the Seventh. leg
islative district of Grand Forks coun-
each and every one Of them urged
the Republican voters to vote for
Steen and against Frazier, giving
them what appeared to me to be good
n substantial reasons why they
should do so. My opponent for
the Republican nomination for

and can corroborate my statement.
While l did not contribute n cent
of the $135 referred to. I did spend
considerable time and expense, in at
tending meetings of the executive
cnmmittee and IN the stump trying
to prevent, Mr.. Frazier from getting
the Nomination. This should effect
ually dispose of any charge of double
dealing.
Ny political views have at no time
been a secret to the public. I have
been active in every campaign since

LAND OF MANY CEREMONIES
PoIiteness, One Might Think, Is Some
what Carried to Extremes by
Dignitarles in Portugal.

That Portuguese politeness is most
ceremonial and may proceed to an ex-
traordinary extent is indicated In the
case, say, of visit to a high digni-
tary.
The caller ascends a magnificent
staircase, passes through a long suite
of rooms to the apartment in which the
dighitary is seated. He is received
with many bows and smiles.
When the visit is concluded the
caller bows and prepares to depart.
When he reaches the door he must,
according to the invariable custom of
the country, make another salutation.
He then discovers that his host is
following him and that the inclination
is returned by one equally profound.
When the caller arrives at the door
of the second apartment the dignitary
is standing on the threshold of the
first, and the same ceremony is again
passed between them. When the third
apartment Is gained the caller OBJ
serves that his host is occupying the
place the caller has just left in the
second. The same civilities are then
renewed, and these polite reciprocal
lions are continued until the caller
has traversed the whole suite Of apart
ments.
At the balustrade the caller makes
low and, as he supposes, a final salu-
tation. But no; when he has reached
the first landing place the host is at
the top of the stairs; when the caller
stands on the second landing place his
host has descended to the first, and
upon each of these occasions their
heads wag with increasing humility.
Finally the journey TO the foot of the
stairs is accomplished.-Los Angeles

Story of Fire.

ashes and cinders, bone wholly or part
ly caleined and fragments of pottery
blackened by smoke. AS far back as
we can go we find man cooking his
food. As to how men came by their
knowledge of fire there is room for
wide difference of opinion. It's use
was probably first known in some vol
canic regions, where it was suggested
by nature itself. Then came the two
sticks, and later ON the llints, by
means Of which men could proll.ce the
