City News s ^r TALKS WITH TRAVELERS 'The 8t&te of North Dakota has grown away fromthe railroads that's what's the trouble," said U. F. Wilde of Detroit, Mich., today at the National hotel and a traveling man who "makes" every place of importance within that state. "The state has de veloped faster than the railroad sys terns and there is more traffic than the existing roads can handle. There are hundreds of farmers in North Dakota today who have not hauled a bushel of their last season's crop to market as yet. When at Harvey a few days ago, I saw 130,000 bushels of wheat piled up in the open and with the amount being increased every day. The same condi tion of affairs to perhaps a lesser extent is true generally at all market points in North Dakota. The result is, that altho the farmers had a 'bumper' crop, they are actually getting hard up for money because th ey cannot sell it, all the re ceiving elevators being full. And mer chants, in turn, are holding special bar Sain sales to get rid of the big stocks iey purchased for the winter trade in view of the big crop. A Grand Forks, for instance, I tlon't believe you can find a fur-lined coat for sale in the town. The merchants ha ve been holding special sales to get rid of them- and convert their stocks into money. "The general cry everywhere is for freight cars to move the crop. But peo ple do not generally Know that the still moro important shortage is in motive power. Do you know, cars ha ve been standing on the sidetracks at some North Dako ta towns for a month? The railroads simply cannot get enough loco motives. Every locomotive works has orders for engines to keep the plants working for two years if they never received another order. "In some towns merchants have hard taken an article of their winter stocks off their shelves, and primarily the lack of transportation .facilities is at the bottom of it. Usually at this time of the year merchants are Belling farmers second supplies of overshoes and like goods, but this season they have yet to sell the first supplies in many cases." Lieutenant 8. T. Major and Assist ant Surgeon A. H. Wise of the United States navy, on detached service, are registered at the West hotel today. Th ey have been in charge of recruiting corps for the past two years, and have covered the country from Boston to Butte. Th ey are now on their way to Washington, where they expect to be assigned to sea dut~ once more, tno they ha ve not et been notified to what ship th ey will be attached. A present they have just returned from points in the northwest. _, "The northwest has been a poor field of late in which to secure navy re cruits," said Lieutenant Manor. 'There seems to be a great demand for labor thruout this entire district, in spite of the fact that winter is now on, but one would expect there were many men out of* iobs who would be glad to enter Uncle Sam's sea service. The entire northwest this trip has yielded but three recruits. Our office at Duluth and Superior was also unsuccessful and only secured two men. 'Since last June we ha ve circled around from St. Louis, going thru Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, and finally working eastward to Minneapolis. I all that time we secured recruits num bering about four hundred, but nearly all of them came from Mississippi val ley points. Most of thbse enlisted were apprentice seamen." JV~arlton JaekBy- manager of the Rogers hotel, received a letter today from E M. Jacks, his father, who owns and operates a large fruit ranch on the Isle of Pines. The letter says that all is now quiet on the island and rather makes fun of the recent sensational stories published of a move to secede from Cuba, and become a part of the United States. "Some New York newspaper sent a reporter here to look up such a story, says the letter. "The reporter was an enterprising fellow and hustled around among the natives and a few others and got up a meeti ng of which he wrote to New York his sensational story of proposed secession from Cuba, and this story was telegraphed all over the country.'' Miss Hannah Swindlehurst, agent of the state public school at Owatonna, was a guest at the Vendome today. I think our school was somewhat unjustly criticised," she said today, "by a recent newspaper article which said we ha* refused to care for two un fortunate children. The article did not give any reason for the rejection of the children, but it was a good one. I an institution where there are a number of children, every precaution has to be tiken for their general health. The two children mentitftfed were afflicted with a contagious disease, and*, hence we were in duty bound to refuse them admission. The state school takes in all it possibly can, and is doing a great work for homeless children." Senator Barker of Cambridge is reg istered at the Vendome hotel today. Sewator Barker has sold the paper which he formerly published in nis home to wn awd is now devoting himself entirely to his extensive law practice. "We don't hear any talk in our vi cinity about the ne xt governorship," said the senator. I suppose it is a little early yet. Julius iBlock seems to be the only man who is actively in the field for the next republican nomi nation. The ne xt gubernatorial com bat is going to be a hard fight for who ever is nominated and it will behoove the 'grand old party' to stick together this time if it is to win." "TheTe isn't much left of the recent spell of hard winter experienced in South Dakota," said C. W. Sprague of Watertown, a guest at the Hotel jNicol let today. ''The thaw has been get ting in its work in that state 4 as well as Minnesota and around Water town, at least, there isn't a bit of sno left. We're just as 'warm* in South Dako ta as you are in Minne- sota." Iver Lund and Larson of Sarps bortr .Norway, were at the Nicollet hotel today. Th ey are prominent in the shipping industry in their home coun try, ami are unaking a tour of the Unit ed States. Iver Lund is a cousin of John Lund, "the land man," of Min neapolis, whom he ha s, never seen but wfiom he will visit for a few days. New Short Line Service to Southern California.
