BANK CLEARINCS
FOR XMAS WEEK t.
SHOW TRADE BOOM

Some indication of the increase in
trade transactions during the Christ
mas week just past, is evident in the
report of the Grand Forks clearing
house for the week ending December
"a, 1919. Over 100000 increase is
shown in the clearings for the past
week over those of year ago, in
each case the week being of five days
duration.
Clearings for the week December
24,1919, were $1,543,000 as compared
to $1,332,1O0 for the same week in
1918. CleArings for the week ending
December 18. 1919, are shown to be
$1,902,3OO. =.
The substantial increase in the bank
clearings of Christmas week this year
over last, is believed to be a fair in
dication of the general increase of
business and the consequent inter-
change of money which was exper-
fenced in practically all lines of bust
ness this season. While as yet mer-
! chants are unable to determine just
| what rate of increase in their bust
ness was experienced, the increased
! volume Of shopping was very evident

Mr.. Cooper who has been connected
with the>best packing concerns Of the
country for twenty-five years was
strong in his commentator of the To-
cal plant this afternoon, declaring
that the Northern Packing Co. plant
here has some Of the best equipment
he has ever seen.
One of the strongest features of the
plant here, according to Mr.. Cooper.
is the open-air cooling system, one of
the most advanced Of packing fea-
lures which no other plant in the state
can offer. With this system the body
heat is lost in the open air and not
kept in the carcass by refrigeration
so that it is still in the carcass at the
time Of cutting.
Mr. Cooper stated this afternoon
that the prices here are on par with
Sout;' St. Paul plants considering all
expenses of marketing. He was very
we'll pleased with the plant, prices and
treatment received from the North
ern Packing plant and declared his

exceptionally successful business for
the new plant, particularly because

JANUARY THAW'' IN
PROGRESS? WEATHER
EXPERTS THINK so

I Old residents Of Grand Forks be-
lieve that the annual January thaw"
is already here
They believe that the entire winter
schedule under which this section of
the country usually operates is about
two weeks ahead OF time this year,
pointing out that the cold weather be-
gan at least two weeks earlier than ID
generally the case. It is thus sup
posed that the warm weather which
has prevailed during the last few
days is the ''thaw'' which usually
comes early in January. If such is
the case, an early spring may be ex-
pected.
The lowest temperature. recorded
here during the last "a hours was Is
degrees above zero, and the maxi

Montanans Never Lose
Faith In Their State

Helena, Mont, Dec. 76.-The fact
that Montana people never lose faith
in the future of their state is shown
by the recent report Of Sidney Miller.
register Of state lands.
The report for the fiscal year 1919
shows that the acreage Of state lands
sold and the total amount Of money
received. were the greatest In five
years. A total Of 159,640.33 acres
were sold at an average price Of
$15.5S, bringing in $2,601,63s.7S.
A peculiar fact revealed by the re-
port is that the most land was sold ii,
the, counties hit the hardest by the
drought, and in those counties the
highest prices were paid. Sheridan
county land brought the highest
average price, the figure being $19.1S
per acre. .

that one of the bravest men in his
company, a corporal with Dom. and
