A Fair nount Protest.
To the editor of the Argus.
In Mib issue of the Sunday Argus
of Jan. 25,1 noticed a communica
tion from the pen of President Sar
gent, of the Fargo Southern Rail
way company, in which Mr. S. es
says to discuss the evils of "low
prices," "high freights" and "eleva
frauds." but I think he has sig
n-illy failed to throw any light upon
the subject. He says "there are
those who appear to think all the
evils complained of are going to be
cured by legislation." Speaking for
myself I can say that I do not think
legislation is going to cure the
"evils," nor do I think that all of
.egislation in Christendom can
remedy the evil of "low prices," but
Id know that if our state and ter
ritorial legislatures will do their
duty to the people who elected them
they would cure the evils of "high
freights" and "elevator frauds."
These two very pernicious evils can
be cured by proper legislation. The
inter-state commerce bill that has
passed the lower house of congress,
should it become a law, will have
tho desired effect upon discrimina
tion in favor of monopolies, and it
is a step in the right direction. Our
legislature should follow' it up
speedily with a bill similar in effect.
Notwithstanding Mr. S. speaks of
"elevators" and "elevator men," he
does not tell us anything about
tlu-m. He does not tell us whether
it is through ignorance or fraud
that causes such a great difference
.n grades given by different eleva
to. men. He does not tell us why
farmers were paid from ten to fif
teen cents per bushel more at other
elevators than they were at Fair
mount. He does not give us any
light as to why the special agent of
the Fargo Southern Elevator com
pany instructed their man at this
point to cut down a grade upon a
certain farmer and should it drive
h.iu away to send for liiui and give
inin Ins right grade. This is from
the elevator man himself. Cannot
legislation cure such fraudulent
iransaciiuiis? Why does not the
president tell us why individual
sh ppers cannot procure from his
company cars for the purpose of
snipping tn.:u- wheat, when they
can readily be obtained for the ship
ment of oats, stock, iii fact, any
thing but wheat? These are points
that we should have thought the
gentleman would have made plain,
but not one word does he utter up
on the subject. Mr. Sargent goes
on to point out the evils of slack
farming, and m.iKes some timely
suggestions, which are all in order
and should be adopted by our far
mers. I am sure I do not know
whether the railroads can afford to
carry wheat lor a less price thnn
they do, b^6 I do tnink that Mr. S
ad can ill afford to lose the vast
amount of freight carried from their
territory by the Manitoba and Nor
thern Pacific. As an instance, it is
estimated that from 40,000 to 50,000
bushels of wheat raised in the vicin
ity and directly tributary to the
station of Fairiuount, was hauled
to other roads on account of low
grades, heavy dockage and other
fraudulent scheming practiced by
the Fargo Southern Elevator com
pany at Fau-mount. The flgures
may sound large, but I believe they
are under-eBtimated, as I have in
my possession affidavits to 33,000
bushels, and there are several large
farmers who sold their wheat at the
Manitoba station of Campbell, Min
nesota, whose affidavits we have
been u.table to pbtain yet. When
the railroads change their system of
leasing their entire line to elevator
companies, and permit a free and
open market, then the price will be
regulated by the supply and demand
and the farmer will get whatever
the wheat is worth, why not per
mit any one who
BQ
desires to build
elevators or grain houses opon their
line and give private individuals a
chance to buy the product of our
soil, and then refrain from discrim
ination in freight? Or, better jet,
let the railroad company build tjfeir
own grain houses, a* they do freight
houses, and receive wheat for ship
ment as they do any other class of
freight. This would give us^Eree
buyers, competition, and every
thing else desirablto in assuring the

farmer the right price for Ins grain.
Mr. Sargent speaks of a reduction of
ten per cent, in freight. All right,
admitting we have it. Can he or
some one else explain why the dif
ference in price between this station
and Duluth should stand twenty
one cc ts, when the freight is
less than fourteen cents and the el
evator charges are two and one-half
cents per bushel? Can he tell what
becomes of the other four cents? I
am under the impression that Pres
ident Sargent does himself injustice
In his article, as I cannot discern
wherein he explains a remedy for a
single evil that he mentions. Ap
propos, speaking of legislation and
railroads, I am reminded that our
own Richland county representa
tives at Bismarck, have accepted
passes over the different roads. Both
of these gentlemen said during the
canvass that if elected they would
refuse all railroad passes tendered
them, but about the
did after election was to accept
them and they or their organ, The
Gazette of this county, offers the
rather lame excuse that they ac
cepted them but would pay "their
fare to and from the capital or else
draw no mileage from the territory
was ever such nonsense indulged
in before? Is not this an insult to
the intelligence to their constiu
ents? Does the fact of their pay
ing fare and carrying a pass on th*
road make their obligations any
less, especially as their passes are
good for two years. Whether they
feel
themselves under obligations to
the railroads or not, matters little,
they have broken faith. They
promised not to accept them. They
were elected upon that platform,
could not have been elected on any
other. We deem the act equivalent
to accepting cash. D.
Fairmount, Dak., Jan. 28, 1885.
Lively Warfare in a Church.
Valley City, Feb. 8: The religious
realm in this fair city is in convul
sions. This morning, as numerous
pious people of this community
were preparing for All Saints church,
strange scenes were transpiring.
Herbert Root, president of the Far
mers' and Mechanics1 National bank,
under cover of a notice in the name
of his wife, Harriet C. Root, closed
the building before the hour of di
vine service, and placed a padlock
on the door. The notice was tacked
oil the door stating that it was clos
ed by order of Harriet C. Root, th«
owner, but as the church was built
by the congregation, and as the rec
tor is in charge of the dtice, that
W. A.
.^v "T-:
gentleman, the Rev. s. H. Wood
ford, recently of Grand Haven,
Mich., did not long permit matters
to remain thus. Throwing- aside
consideration of his sermon he
grabbed an ax and repaired in hot
haste to the church, where he demol
ished the padlock and took posses
sion. Finding there two men left
in charge by Root, things looked om
inous for a moment or two. At this
juncture Rnoot appeared, but fortu
nately read determination in the
eye of the man with the ax and
passed on without stopping to de
bate the question. Under counsel
from members of the vestry the rec
I tor decided not to hold service and
vacated the premises, although at
first he showed a disposition to hold
the fort, by sending home for a shot
gun. Later in the day Root and A.
P. Peak obtained possession, and a
few hours after were dislodged by
the rector, members of the vestry,
first act they and a party of citizens. The door
had again been locked and barricad
ed from the inside. Root and Peak
had also placed a ladder against the
door, and with their combined
weight attempted to resist the pres
sure from .the outside forces, who,
however, had secured a battering
ram and sent the door flying on its
hinges, and those behind it head
first i'lto the seats beyond. The at
tacking party at once took posses
sion, and a muscular vestryman
throttled the chief conspirator, who
promised if released to depart
peace. Excitement runs high and
many people denounce Root's action.
Root claims his wife holds title to
certain reservations expressed in the
deed of the church property, which
is vested in Bishop Walker and the
standing committee of the North
Dakota Episcopal diocese.
