remedy is a good one, though it is
likely that even greater modification

should be made. After all, the milled

ELEVATOR IN"
CASE DISMISSED
Governor Olson Calls Attention to
Discrimination of Grain Grading
Act Against Farmers.
BY HENRY G.. TEIGAN

Elevator m" case has been dis
posed of. On Friday of last week,
Governor Floyd B. Olson rendered his
decision dismissing the action brought
by Senator Gerald T. Mullin charging
the railroad commission with NAL
feasance and misfeaSance in office
and asking the removal of the COM
miSSiOners.
AS is pretty we'll known, the action
brought by Senator Mullin did not
merely involve the Commission, but
indirectly, at least, involved the Farm
ers Union Terminal Association, a CO.
Oper alive marketing organization
owned by farmers of Minnesota, North
Dakota and other states of the North
west. Tom Davis, we'll known attor-
ney of Minneapolis, represented the
Farmers Union Terminal Association,
Roger Dell of Fergus Falls, repre-
scented the Commission and w. M.
Nash and Chester L. Nicols of Mime
apolis appeared on behalf of Senator
Mullin.
Dismisses Petition.
The Governor dismissed the petit
tion of Senator Mullin on the grounds:
Il. That the acts or omissions of
the members of the Railroad & Ware
house Commission of Minnesota in
connection with the weighing up or
operation of Elevator M did not con-
stitute malfeasance in office.
SO. That despite the fact that con-
troversy with reference to the true
grade of said wheat in said Elevator
M could have been prevented by plac-
ing more than one representative of
the Railroad e Warehouse Commits
sion on duty at said Elevator M dur
ing said weigh-up; and despite the
fact that the Railroad & Warehouse
Commission failed to take samples of
said wheat in said Elevator M during
said second weigh-up in August, 1881,
at the spout in the Elevator and be-
fore said wheat was cleaned and
secured, yet such omissions did not
constitute misfeasance in office on the
part of the members of said Railroad
& Warehouse Commission"
Based on Grades Charge.
The decision was based entirely
upon a single charge brought by the
petitioner, other charges having been
dismissed prior to the conclusion of
the hearings. This charge had for
its basis the allegation that the Farm
ers Union Terminal Association had
falsely and fraudulently tempered
with grain samples at Elevator IN"
between March %, and May 2, 1881.
1t was contended that several hundred
thousand bushels of wheat graded as
No. 3 when received at the Elevator
were later raised to Grade No. 1
and disposed of at such grade to the
Farmers National Grain Corporation.
There can be no question about the
change in the grades as alleged. The
Farmers Union Terminal Association,
as well as the railroad commission in
spection department both contend that
this shift in the grade is a natural
and legal one, based upon the Federal
Grain Grading system. In a memoir
andum attached to the decision, Gov
ernor Olson corroborates this claim
by the commission and the Farmers
Union Terminal Association.
Criticizes Federal Grades.
In his memorandum the Governor
offers this criticism upon the Federal
Grain Grading act:

in the future. His threat of put ting me in the jail in Unga he will surely carry out if I cannot make him believe that I, in some obscure place, can get a few salmon within the law. So l asked him if he was well ac- quainted along the mainland coast.
 "Yes," he said, "I know the mainland coast better than you do. When I was a tiny little kid, I came down river on the main land together with thousands of ny brothers and sisters. We had ali kinds of fun lodging trout, ducks and seagulls, and many xlore of our marine enemies; we travelled back and forth along the mainland and around these islands and We are now going back, following the same route bound for our birthplace in the alluvial gravel-beds of inland lakes,. and we use neither chart nor compass, and we never get lost. You have to go to school for years to study navigation and astronomy and must use many different kinds of instru- nlents in your travels and even then you get badly lost at times. You are not nearly as important as you think you are; you imag- inc yourself to be on the apex Of creation and that everything is created for your special use and benefit, but the fact is, in the general scheme of things, you don't amount to any more than a dog-salmon."

times. This request does not come from the canneries but from us who are vitally inter- ested in the situation for the winter. Please give this your serious consideration"
 The blunt refusal to accede to this request was received. in a wire sent to N. o. Hardy, in charge of the local office of the Bureau of Fisheries, and signed by Henry O'Malley. This wire read as follows:
 Inform Harry O'Neill and others interested that the bu- reau cannot give any considera- tion to extending season on the Copper River flats. In recent years the examina tion of the spawning beds has shown no ex- cess of fish and the bureau can- not consider relaxation at this time which might destroy a fu- ture cycle. The action in extend ing the season in Prince William Sound last season was entirely unWarranted, as was shown by a careful examination of the spawning beds."
 The reading of these com- nlunications resulted in consid- erable discussion from the floor ir which it was pointed out that the bureau had never at any time actually made a real sur- vey of the spawning beds and therefore was not in a position to tell how the escapement was. Trappers and others who had been into the interior lakes had reported that these headwaters showed signs of being filled to capacity with the spawning salmon, it was pointed out, and the conclusions of the bureau were not only unjustif1ed but hasty and ill-advised. -Cordova

Fishermen Of Cordova Will Not Be
 Given Further Aid

Efforts of the Cordova Cham Der of Commerce, individual business men and others to Ob tain badly needed relief for the local fishermen met with flat re- f>lsal from the U s. Bureau of Fisheries, it was reported at the chamber meeting.
 These efforts were directed toward obtaining an extension in the season on the Copper River flats on salmon, which, though probably packed by the canneries at a loss, or at least without profit, would have meant bread and butter to the fishermen during the coming winter.
 Asking relief of this form, II. I. O'Neill, chairman of the fish cries committee, sent a wire to Henry O'Malley, commissioner of fisheries. The wire read:
 Que to severe weather condi- tions the individual catch of reds on the Copper River flats have been very small and with low prices the fishermen are not able to take care of their current accounts, let alone have any, thing to carry them through the winter.
 "As there has been a good es- exponent so far think that as an emergency you should extend the season until the fifteenth or twentieth on the Flats, at least on the Eyak river side, where there has always been a late run that has never been fshed.
 ''Would not ask this if there were not a serious situation fac- ing us this winter and a few thousand cases off the flats this year would be one of the best emergency relief programs that the government could do for our section during f h se irving
