This is practically the first large amount of grain to be shipped and sold by Canadian grain dealers and farmers, outside of the wheat that was seized by the government several months ago. Tie-up Caused. Early and heavy snows caused a tie up in the traffic in Canada, with the result that little shipping of grain could be accomplished. Later, the gov ernment seized large quantities of wheat t'o be shipped to England for use and in this way completely filled the terminal elevators and store houses. Very little of this wheat has yet been sent out of the country, and in all probability, will be kept in the METROPOLITAN THEATRE Saturday, Feb. 26th MATINEE AND NIGHT. WE} E'MVU/vCKH By George C.

Judge whea't growing countries in the northwest for a dis tance of 500 miles out of Edmonton. Alberta, about a month ago, large quantities of wheat that has been grown and stored in wait for the rail road, is being shipped out into the United States at the present time. In this country which has been re cently opened up to traffic, many set tlers, if they wished to market their products, most of which is wheat, would find it necessary to haul their produce nearly 200 miles overland. Now, however, after a short haul, much of this is shipped out over the Canadian Northern, through Winnipeg and into the United States. From here, much of the wheat is re-shipped from the Duluth ports to the ocean going vessels and sent to England and the Scandinavian coun- CU^4.n/y« As*^r! tries.

The remainder, however, is being or will be shipped out into the United States. On account of the over filled storehouses, there is no room for the grain in Canada. In this section of the country, how ever, farmers are holding the grain which remains in their hands, and for the past two months, the price of wheat has been steadily rising, until, since the influx of Canadian grain, wheat prices have slumped. According to local grain men. North Dakota farmers are still holding al most 30 per cent of their entire crop of last year. REV. E. J. MULLALY TO ITCHM HERE Judge Hanley made such statement to a representative of The Herald to- day a"d MANAGERS IN CONTROL OF THE THEATER So Art Suffers, Says Charles Coburn in Convocation Address. Mr. Coburn says the theater of to day Is a business affair. The taste of the public is catered to and under this system an intelligent minority which is really craving high class drama is crowded out by the majority which is demanding, at least, second rate drama. Artists Once In Control. Twenty-five years ago artists con trolled theaters. But during the late years this system has changed en tirely. Managers now control the stage and actors are simply necessary evils. Under the regime of the the atrical manager the presentation of good plays has been abandoned for the presentation of successful plays. It Is the attitude of the theatre-go ing of today that they want to see what every one else Is seeing. That accounts for the popularity of Broad I way successes. Now a Broadway suc cess is a success under abnormal con ditions. The audiences at such a play are under Intense excitement. When this play Is presented in other parts of the country to people In a normal state of mind it fails to make an ap peal, yet the audience struggles brave ly to enjoy It because it is a Broad way success. Shealtespeare Suffers. It has become evident that Shakes pearian performance must be put on by an artist and not by a manager. The public for the most part does not care for Shakespeare because they do not know Shakespeare, and the pub lic gets what it pays for when the manager reigns supreme. Only an artist is willing to present Shakes peare at a loss for the purpose of satisfying the longing of the intelli gent minority. It has come about that artists have to play in parts they despise and they despise the audience which patroniz es these plays because they are the jailors who keep them in these parts. Still Is Hope. The hope of the theater lies with the coming generations. It is only with them that this faulty system can toe remedied. If a craving for good plays can be Instilled In the hearts of the rising generation in their edu cational Institutions and If civic the ters be built and maintained by the state, the problem will be largely solved. The public will want good things and will get them. Mr. Coburn did not place the blame on any Individual. He simply present ed the situation as' it stands. The artists cannot give the public the best because artists are in the hands of the managers and the public supports the managers. Judge Hanley is Candidate For Re-Election--Announcement Made By Former Speaker Here Today J. M. Hanley of Mandan, who has been in Grand Porks this week attending the annual meeting of the North Dakota National Guard asso ciation, is a candidate for election as Judge of the Morton judicial court. the announcement means the elimination of himself as a factor irt the Third Congressional district fight for congress. It might be stated that Judge Han ley's name has been very frequently and very persistently mentioned in connection with the election of a con gressman from the western district— Mr. Hanley being proposed by his friends as a successor of Congressman P. D. Norton. Judge Hanley has served on the bench since the early part of last year, being appointed by Governor Hanna as the successor of Judge S. Is. Nuchols, resigned. In the judicial po sition, Mr. Hanley has more than made good. The judge was formerly speaker of the house of representatives, and he also has served in the state senate, being a leader in that branch of the legislature while a member of it. Judge Charles Coburn, who is presenting this spring has been largely pre "The Yellow Jacket" at the Metropol- eluded. itan today, addressed the university According to the forecast given out convocation this morning on the sub- this morning by the government Ject, "The Theater of Today." In his I weather expert at the state university, masterly address he set forth a fear- there will be very little change in less, straightforward criticism of the temperature tonight and Sunday, modern theater. According to Mr. Coburn the actors, suggest what the author of the play intends to convey, and the audience acts It. Thus the drama reflecte the mental attitude of the audience of the time and the fault cannot be laid at the door of the actor if the mod ern theater Is not what it should be. In fact the fault cannot be localized anywhere. The theater of today is based, on a principle which is all wrong. The special music of the morning was a solo by Prof. W. W. Norton, "Honor and Arms," from Handel's "Samson." BOARD OF REGENTS IN SESSION AT FARGO TODAY Session Is Held Hi ere as Result of Situation Growing: Oat of Worst's Action.

Kenney, vice president of the Great Northern railroad, is In Grand Forks today, visiting local business men and attending to official matters. "Business conditions throughout the northwest are unusually bright," said Mr. Kenney this morning. "Op timism and confidence prevail every where, and there Is no doubt that it will be a big year In every way." In speaking of railroad conditions, Mr. eKnney said: "The Great Northern was kept 'back considerably by the extreme cold and heavy snow storms, but things have opened up remarkably well. At pres ent, we are loading 500 cars of grain a day. Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana grain is beginning to move rapidly. "The car shortage is not affecting the Great Northern as we conserved our equipment. As a matter of fact, the shortage is only felt in the east, where many loaded cars are being held up awaiting shipments." Mr. Kenney said that the Great Northern is shipping considerable war material and munitions west for ex port for the Russian army. When asked regarding condltlor.3 In North Dakota, Mr. Kenney sa.'d: "This state never was In a better condition. The farmers had one of the most successful years in the his tory of the state, and North Dakota business people are face to face with another remarkable year. "There will be a great deal of build ing. Lumber shipments are increas ing wonderfully till now there are greater prospects than ever before In the lumber business. I anticipate that farmers throughout the state will erect many new buildings during the summer. There is a surplus of mon ey everywhere in the northwest and much of It will go into new build ings."

Views of battle scarred Europe and a discussion on the various mat ters pertaining to the war, were fea tured at the illustrated lecture given last evening at the armory on North Fifth street by E. J. D. Larson, war correspondent for the Minneapolis Tribune. He then returned to scenes of this country and defined his views on American patriotism.

In regard to the probable duration of the war Mr. Larson said that it was the general opinion of leaders on both sides that it would last at least two years more. That it would be impossible for any nation to attack us at the close of the present war on account of the loss of men and funds, was the opin ion of Mr. Larson. But this country should ''take no chances," that it may be necessary to defend the Monroe doctrine, said the speaker.
