There is lots of dif ference between here and North Dak ota. Wheat crop is good this season and the farmers are busy husking corn. Corn is worth about 311 certs a bushel and is lots of it.

When my folks i.et here father will be cashier of the Fisher bank and I will be assistant cashier". In district court in Fargo Tuesday the case against a colored man named Chas. Smith, was taken up.

He uses crutches and will be some time befor^ he can get along without them.

New York, Nov. 19.—When the hear. log was resumed in the case of Minne sota against the Northern Securities company E. T. Nichols, secretary and treasurer of the Northern Securities company, was called to the stand. He said that Abram H. Hyat, Richard Tromble and George F. Baker, Jr., organized the company. He did not know whether J. P. Morgan & Co. was employed by the Securities com pany to purchase the Harriman inter ests in the Northern Pacific company, but he said the Securities company borrowed about $9,000,000 from Mor gan & Co. "We acquired $41,085,000 of Northern Pacific preferred stock," said Mr. Nichols, "and $37,000,000 of common stock by giving $82,491,871 in Northern Securities stock and $8,915,629 in cash." "Did not the Northern Securities company receive nearly $50,000,000 of Great Northern stock in its own name before you discussed the advisability of receiving any future deliveries in the name of trustees?" "I don't remember the amount. I suggested that some of the stock should stand in the name of trustees in case I needed any of it for collat eral." Mr. Nichols said he selected the trustees. Most of them are clerks in his office. He promised to send the names to the examiner for the record. His company owns in all between 500, 000 and 600,000 shares of the Great Northern Railway company. A large block of those shares is in the names of the "trustees" of whom he spoke. Replying to other questions Mr. Nichols said no annual statement of the Northern Securities company has been completed and no financial state ment is being prepared. WOUUD DEFER REVISION. Representative Cannon's Position on the Tariff Question. Washington, Nov. 19.—Representa tive Cannon, who will be the next speaker of the house of representa tives, is opposed to any tariff revision until after the next presidential elec tion. This statement is made on trust worthy authority. He has not ex pressed himself on the subject and has told some of his friends that he will not, but there need be no doubt as to his position. His success in the speakership contest has no signifi cance regarding tariff legislation. It may be that Congressman Babcock had to quit the fight because he was radical for revision, but so far as the speaker ship contest was concerned Cannon was neutral. He went out after the place and won through good politics. Mr. Cannon comes from a section which talks a good deal about tariff revision but does not clamor for it. He belongs to a class of legislators who think that congress should deal with tariff laws and that there is no need of a commission. SITUATION WORRIES LOGGERS. Lumbermen Unable to Secure Suffi cient Men for Camps. Minneapolis, Nov. 19.—The labor sit uation in the pineries of Minnesota and Wisconsin is tense and loggers are un able to secure men to conduct the op erations in the woods. Just now, says the Mississippi Val ley Lumberman, railroad companies and contractors are straining every effort to rush work before cold weather sets in and are offering special induce ments to their men to keep them. In the meantime lumbermen and loggers need men to build roads before the freeze-up and do other preparatory work. Orders for men are as large as last year, but the Minnesota and Wisconsin employment offices report a smaller supply. Last year the average wages were from $28 to $32 for common help. This year the wages are stiffer and run from $30 to $35 and over. NOW IN CHICAGO. English Labor Men Investigating In dustrial Conditions. Chicago, Npv. 19.—A delegation of twenty-three English labor men. rep resenting the-principal labor organiza tions in England, arrived here during the morning. Their purpose is to in vestigate the prevailing, industrial con ditions from an educational and so ciological standpoint. Their tour of several American cities, which began in New York a week ago. has been ar ranged and their expenses paid by Al fred J.Iosely, an English philanthropist. They were met at the station by a committee from the Chicago Federa tion of Labor and escorted to their hotel. Later they set ont in a body to visit the State street department stores. The afternoon was spent in going over the tunnel .system of the Illinois Telephone company and a visit to the stock yards. NORTHWEST MAY SUFFER. Car Shortage Likely to Interfere With Coal Shipments, Pittsburg, Nov. 19.—A coal famine in the Northwest is almost inevitable There are 200 mines in the Pittsbur? district contributing to the coal su^ ply in that region which are idle and the whole production is not 50 pnt cent of the normal output on accoun' of a shortage of cars. President Cassatt and Messrs. Pugh Brown and Prevcst have arrived hfr" and will give the freight blockade their personal attention. Perishable^' have been refused a* many points for Eastern shipmpnt the Peuns\ Ivania and the freight oifi W '*'1 Ifi1*^1 T" i,• 'Jf t„ "...

Smedes, Miss., Nov. 19.—This is the last day of the president's hunting ex pedition in Mississippi. A messenger from camp reported that the party got an early start. The weather conditions are better than they have been on any day of the hunt. It is cool and cloudy and the dogs can work without distress. The hunters who are trying to give the president a shot are pretty badly discouraged but are hoping for better luck. The president himself seems less concerned over his ill for tune than are those who were instru mental in bringing him here. PURELY PRIVATE MATTER. No Statement Regarding the Molineux Divorce Case. N«w York, Nov. 19.—Roland B. Molineux and his father were in con ference with their counsel, George Gordon Battle, during the day. At the close of the talk Mr. Battle made the following statement: "Neither General Edward L. Moli neux nor his son, Roland B. Molineux, nor any other member of the family will make any statement in regard to the report in the press that Mrs. Rol and B. Molineux has gone to South Da kota with the purpose of instituting an action for divorce against her husband. "They regard it as a private matter concerning which no public utterance should be made. General Molineux desires to say further that all the mem bers of his family have at all times treated Mrs. Roland B. Molineux with the utmost kindness and consideration. This is his last word on the subject." Mr. Battle said that he had not been retained to defend the divorce suit. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 19.—Mrs. R. B. Molineux has given out in her own handwriting the following statement: "It is true I am in Sioux Falls for the purpose of instituting divorce proceed ings. I have no plans except that I shall be a resident here for the next six months." Senator Kittridge. her attorney, has enjoined her not to talk further to newspaper representatives. Ctoedacatloli.
