GET TING AT Ter
ELEVATOR men

Minot, N. D., Sept. %. Assistant
Attorney General, Albert E. Sheets,
j. r., today commenced criminal pro-
Iceedings against the Occident Elevator
Co., in Ward County at Minot, for vio-
lating the unfair discrimination act.
1t is alleged that the Occident Eleva-
tors at Foxholm and Kenmare paid
higher prices for grain on the / 1ths of
September, than was paid by the
company on the same day at their
elevator at Funston, in McHenfy
county.
This is one Of series Of actions
commenced against the Occident Com
pany, the first arrests being made in
Emmons county. It proceeds on the
theory that an elevator company is
not permitted to pay more at one sta
ton, the difference in freight being
excluded, than it pays for the same
grade Of grain at another point. The
purpose Of the law being to prevent q
corporation owning several elevators
from raising the price of grain at one
station to force local grain buyer
out Of business and lowering it ut an
other to make up for the loss sus-
tanned at the point where the COM
petitor is being dealt with.
O. B. Herigstad, states attorney Of
Ward county, said today: " Judging
from the steady rise shown by the
market quotation in the price Of
wheat the proceedinEs seem to have
had a wholesome effect. The cores

INCREASES ITS
CAPITAL STOCK

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Sheyenne Valley Light & Power.
Company was held in the Offices Of the
company in Valley City last Friday
evening at. which time it was decided
to increase the capital stock of the or
ganization from $50,00O.0O to $125,-
10000. /,
J The meeting was attended by a
goodly, number of the stockholders
Those from Dazey who went down
were: Geo.:f$N: Rasmussen. A. Q. Tol-.
stad, E.. a.. Duff, A. J. McInnes, e. -.
Snowman and Leo Ratcliff A very in
teresting session was held. The Off
GERS reported on the business OF the
company and the lines which are in
operation. 4, There is something like.
100 miles Of line in operation serving
six townsyat ;rthe present time and a.
number Of farmers between the towns.
A few more farm stubs are to be con-.
structed yet this fall. 1t is expected
to have 500 customers using Juice"
by winter time.
There has been considerable .trou-
BILE on the north line which serves San
born, Rogers, Leal and Dazey. This
has been caused largely by the bad in
sulators which were shipped out dur
ing the war period. The company
which made these insulators has
agreed that they were at fault and
are making a replacement. It will
take some time, however, before the.
new insulators are on the job ready
to be put on. In the meantime, the
service will doubtless be irregular.
though the managers are using every
effort to keep the line running all the
time. Considerable other new equip
ment which will greatly increase the
efficiency Of the service is also on the
road. Chief of this is a number Of
new transformers, which will give an
extra supply Of high tension fuses
which have not been used heretofore
because they were not procurable. BY
using .these fuses, when one trans
former burns out it will not affect the
rest Of the system, as has been the
case in the past. III: ~ 4.
y A number Of minor changes in the
conduct of. the business were discuss
ed and the meeting adjourned. -,

TURN ON THE LIGHT!

Why doesn't congress accept the in
vitation which Glenn E. Plumb gave it
to investigate thoroughly his astound-
ing charges Of railroad looting
Congress has got to settle the rail
road problem SOME WAY SOME
TIME.
Shall it be settled in the dark or in
the light?
Plumb, representing more than two
million railroad men, has made
charges which the railroad brother
hoods have offered to prove, but the
rules committee Of the house Of rep
resentatives will not even hold a meet
ing to consider the resolution which
Representative Huddleston of Ala
tbama has introduced calling for al,
investigation Of the charges.
The other day on the, house floor,
Huddleston made speech in which he
said this:
"The charges made against the rail-
roads involve not merely fraudulent
capitalization. but almost every form
Of common stealing. This is matter
Of momentous concern to the people
