We clip the following ^JfoDh an. in terview with-G S Bara^«^agnger of the Northspfc-^tci Ac company. Press of Dec.16: "First, in answer To^Hhfr charge' Kf, that our elevators are under tlve con trol of the Minneapolis -Millers'' As sociation, these are not the facts, as they have no interest in our elevators 1 stock-company. A^eiv oif^4^oc?c1 holders belong to the Miller's A#so» ciatioh but the association has no more to say about the conducting the management of our company than on have. T-he millers buy wheat in our elevators and warehouses the amo as anybody else. Up to the clos of navigation fully thr^-qUarters of our wheat was bought imd.shipped to Duluth." 'CV The first part of this* statement is true in theory but false in fact, un less the representative-of the Millers' Association lied in, a statement pub lished in the Pionier Press less than two months ago, wherein he claimed that the Millers' Association con trolled the elevators 011 Verndale, and the ratio is almost ex actly the same, viz., one-third to Duluth two-thirds to Minneapolis, and Ave believe if the returns were obtained from the other stations the line thoy would show the same result. In other words, we don't be lieve what Mr. IJarnes says. Wheat is from 2 to 8 ccnts per Vashel higher in Duluth than in Min neapolis, and has been so the entire season, and it is singular that two thirds of it should go to Minneapolis contrary to all the ordinary rules of trade. In all other cases, goods secK the highest market, but it is not so in this case. All we ask is that the rail road will .allow any one to ship, and the market here will take care of it self, Neighborhood News. IKXAK Well, we are getting more snow, and the sleighing is getting fine, and the wood business is beginning to boom. The hunting season is done, and we have not killed a deer yet. Lots of them in the woods. The foot cutting business has com menced. A. C. Gould, while chopping wood, had his ax glance and strike his foot, cutting it nearly off. Tho wound is across the instep, and it will lay him np nearly all winter. By the burning of the Deer Creek postoffice we of Inman lost all of our mail, so we have not had any news for two weeks. One of Mr. Chapman's twin girls, of Elmo, is not expected to live. It has putrid sore throat. Look out for sore throats and diphtheria. Terms: ..£1 W ...*•2 00 01 the line ol tho Northern Pacific* and which no offe»a r[uainted with the vray tiling lire iiiaiiaged doubts* In regard to the statement that #D-tliirds of the wheat shipped be fore the close of navigation went to Duluth, wc have taken pains to as certain the number of cars shipped from this station since the I3th of September, on which date the first car was shipped of this year's wheat. since which time there have been shipped to Duluth 47 cars. anJ to Minneapolis 97, making in nil 144 ars. At tlie time we made an exam ination of the inspection of the wheat ent to Duluth, as the representative of the business men, and which wa on the 5tli day of October, there hau heen shipped to that port 55 cars. since which time only 12 cars have been sent to that point, although navigation did not close until about the first of December. We have also the nv iTibe§fe o£ ©jvrs shipped from DENGO. WTKDDSIDE PRAIRIE. Goodale's saw mill has arrived. Mr. James Winser, of Oak Valley, is to set it up for him, so I have been told. Some of our people are drawing ties to Wadena, but they tell me that that the grading of the railroad ties is worse than the grading of wheat. It appears that capital has its iron grip so firmly fixed on the throats of producers that all the wealth and comforts justly belonging to the pro ducers must be sacrificed to keep the wolf from the door. A new blacksmith shop at the Wrightstown hub. Plyn Aldrich, proprietor. Private Christmas trees will be very popular this season if reports are true, nd I think it a good plan to enter tain the little ones at home. M, A. Cravath, of Iowa, son-in-law to Aunt Myra. is expected to visit ov.r town. Saw milling, I think, is the object of his visit.

IXCOG. BEETSA, TODD CO-URN"?. Keep it before the people! I mean this odious wheat grading and swin dle-as practiced upon the farmers by h^elevatm* companies, wheat buyers, boatds ofj trade," railroad companies and middleifl^p. Th?ryaiIromls have been paid for by the people in lands and bonds to an amount at least two or three limes their entire cost of construction. It was intended that they should b«v operated in a manner that they would be of great convenience to help the farmer, manufacturers and other pro ducers who have to bear the burdens of the nation. But instead of the roads being opeiated in a manner that would prove a blessing to those who have paid for tnem, the corporations which operate them are using them te impoverish, cripple and oppress he people. The extent of the op iression is only realized by those who save given the subject thought and inquired into the enormous profits realized by the railroad corporations. It is estimated that the net profits of the railroads in the country for the year 1881 was$180,000.000afterpaying all expenses, repairs and exorbitant salaried official.-. It is alpo estimated that the net profits for 1882 will be about $'300,000.00. This money is ob ained by bold extortion and actual robbery, because the law permits it then it is returned to us as Eastern apital to be loaned on faim moit gages. The same extortion which compels the'borrowing in most caser, prevents the paying- These mor' crages are finally foreclosed and our fanners and their children are turned out. These enormous profits and the consequent oppression of the wealth producers of the country will be continued and increased by the corporations which practically have control of the government, so long as the people permit them to do so. With the people li^s the power to correct these evils. By concentration of action and united effort it can be done. Will the people do it' OrCA-TONWT.. to A. M. Complimentary Dinner Darling". We clip the following from Winnipeg Sun. Mr. Dariing is old resident of the Compton. and well th" an »d.]oiniug town of known to most of our citizens. It is a compliment to Abner, which every one who knows him will be pleased to heai of. "A goodly number 01 the C-P. B. R. Company's land examiners, with invited guests, sat down a sump tuous dinner last evening at the m nipeg hotel, to do honor to Mr. A. M. Darling, inspector of the examining parties. An elaborate bill of fare was prepared by the host. Mr. L- A. Hamilton, assistant commissioner, presided, and was ably supported by 3Ir. Darling and Mr. Meek of tho staff. After the usual loynl and paU riotic toasts had been drunk, the. fob lowing toasts were disposed of 111 that happy and vigorous manner that only men who have just come from an un restrained life on the prairie are mas ters of: J. IT- McTavisit, commis sioner, L. A. Hamilton, assistant A. M. Darling, inspector the officers of the Inside Service, coupled with the names of Messrs. J. Emslie and W. Scott: "Our brother examiners from across the water, responded to by Messrs. F. Kendrick a -.d A. Dud ley. "Tho chiefs and assistants." this toast calling forth a number of eloquent speeches. The toast of i*io Ladies" called forth the speeches of the evening from Messrs. Jones and Dudley, who gallantly championed their cause. Regret was expres: ed .to the absence of Mr. McTavish, who was unable to attend, owing to a pre vious engagement. In the course of the evening the assistant commis sioner paid a high tribute to the woik of the examiners, laying special stress on the careful manner the ex. aminers had done their work, theieb\ feejjng of tiust and contl.- denee in the minds of those who con sulted them. He refcired to the amount of work they had accomplish ed, which exceeded that which had been mapped o.ut for them in the be ginning of the season. Ivefinnc# had also been made to the pleasant relations existing would between, hiniselt and Mr. Darling the inspector. A feature that added not a little to the pleasures of the evening was tho rendering of several songs by Messrs. Emslie, McGregor and Jones. Tho party broke up at an arly hour, one and all Expressing the hope that this be but the first of a series of similar gatherings after the season's field campaigns. 4- jr -x-.j*:
