Casper J. Brand, chief of the bureau of markets and grading, shington, D. C., will be here in person for the North Dakota railway comm: hearings on the federal grain grades BY PAUL PURMAN Ted Lewis, poorest of champions has gone a step further toward mu ing himself more unpopular than ever if unpopularity in his case can be en- chanced. Popularity of a boxing champ is of condi- ight chal- dd his title jin championship form and his fair dealing by important. Lewis has failed in all of these. Since he won his rather clouded title by a referee's decision in a twen- tr-round bout at Dayton, Ohio, Lew has failed to meet his most insistent ; challengers, he has buried himself on veciators being the most !

The first license denied an elevator} buyer under North Daokta’s new, grain grading act is one which Her-| bert Roberts, buyer for R. A. Ras- mussen at Shields, was adv! week must be refused. Roderts charg- ed by Chief Deputy Inspector MeGov-! ern with incompetency, and by the latter denied.a license on this count, had 4 hearing before the commission! a few days ago, and the rail board! determined his case at Carrington. Charges Not Sufficient At the Carrington meeting the rail/ board also decided that the charges of misgrading by Mr. McGovern against G. H. Sawyer, buyer for the Victoria ator Co. at Roach; R. L. Olson, buyer for the same company at Berthold; Ri. Ramussson, buyer for the R. A. Rasmusson Elevator Co. at Palermo; H. J. Arnold, of Arnold . elevator at Stanley, and N. G.; it Stanley, king of their licens Secretary Calderhead, however, was instructed to address a letter to these men, ad-! vising that while the commission does not deem their errors of sufficient gravity to warrant the cancellation of their policies, they must be warned against similar crrors in the future; and admolishing them that they are acting in the capacity of state offi- cials and must “watch their step.” To St. Paul Protest. Commissioners Johnson and Lleick proceeded from the Carrington | sion to St. Paul to attend a meeting of grain commissioners from sur- rounding state assemvled to discuss ed this |! {est of champions. ‘combinations in to recognize his claims. Let's see what claims Lewis has to tho title. The last welterweight champion of note was Joe Wolcott, who lost the title to Honry Mellody in 1996. Dixie Kid had claimed the title in 1904 by virtue of a foul verdict in his favor, but his claims were not generally recognized. In 1907 Mike (Twin) Sullivan de- feated Honey Mellody and held the title until 1910 when he went into the middleweight division and it was claimed by Jimmy Clabby, who de- fended it until he went into the mid- dle weight division in 1911, whereupon e title was claimed by Ray Bron- n, who posted a forfeit to fight for the championship in 1913. From that time on the whole welter- weight division was in a jumble. Bronson lost to Matt Wells and Hol- Derg in Austraila. Wells, Spike Kelly, Kid Graves, Mike Glover and a num- ber of others then claimed the title, but none was over recognized as champion. i Then Jack Britton, who had out- grown the lightweight class, claimed the title and defended it a number of times in 1917, meeting Lewis five or| six times. It’s a question whether Britton was ever champion. There was no elim- ination and there was a number of good welterweights contesting his claims right along. Regardless of this, however, there was no concerted | opposition to Eritton’s claims because of his papularity. Then Lewis beat} Britton and now merits the title, poor-! Sport Gossip LaFayette, Ind., Dec. 8.—Basketball and wrestling are beginning to take their place in the interest of Purdue students. The material, according to the coaches, gives promise of winning both branches of sport. i the introduction at this session of con- gress of a new grain grading act which will do away with the features of the present statute which are re- garded as unfair or impossible. The technical niceties of the present grades are hel most inoperative. It is highly prob- able that out of the St. Paul con- ference will grow a model measure which will more nearly meet the ap- proval of everyone, and it is thougat) winning combination. that the present is an opportune time to procure its passage.

Carrington meeting the Gackle, &Billigmier Co. of Harvey was dire d to recognize the claim of H. H. Phillips of Harvey for payment for wheat stored with the company on a May 1, 1917 basis.

MAY STORE FOUR MONTHS SUPPLY U. 8. Federa] Fuel Administrator Baker Makes Exception in Favor of Direct Consumers Farmers who own a coal mine or obtain lignite in wagons direct from a mine are permitted to accumulate four months’ supply of lignite in fuel order No. 3, issued today by Federa! Fuel Administrator Baker. The order follows: Jt is Hereby Ordered, That effective at twelve o’clock, midnight, Thursday, December 6th, 1917, no person, firm or association of persons, or corpor- ation shall sell or contract to sell or deliver to any other person, firm or association of persons or corporation. any anthracite for household purposes in any quantity in excess of one thou- sand pounds. it is Further Ordered, That.no per- son, firm or association of persons, or corporation, except producers or retailers tuereof shall thereafter ac- cumulate or have on hand coal, coke or ‘briquettes of any kind, whether anthracite, ‘bituminous, sub-bitumin- ous or lignite, for any purpose, in any quantity in excess of the usual. reasonadle requirements of such per- son, firm or association of persons, or corporation, for a period of two months; provided, that a consumer may accumulate or have ‘on hand lig- nite in any quantity not in excess of the usual, reasonable requirements of such consumer for a period of four months, where such lignite is ob- tained by that consumer direct from LOCAL BOARD'S ORDER CONTROLS DESCRTERS Military Authorities Must Court Martial Slackers Reported From Counties. A somewhat disgruntled federal agent is one of the attaches of the Ynited States district court in session here. This gentleman, while investi- gating~some violations of the liquor laws on the Standing Rock reserva- tion ran onto a slacker, whom he per- sonally delivered as a deserter to the military at Fort Snelling. The mili- tary authorities declined to accept the alleged deserter because of some tech- nical conflict in understanding as to the exchange of authority between the department of justice and the war de- partment. The same trouble was ex- perienced by U. S. Marshal Doyle, ’the technical standing as a deserter of a slacker whom he delivered to Snell- ing now having been established. Adjutant General Fraser, having word of these circumstances, wired the war department the middle of the week for advice. The department of justice and the military authorities now have been advised that a certi- ficate from the local exemption board | citing a registrant as a slacker is suf- ficient to commit him to court martial | at the nearest military post as a deserter. OPERATORS SCARCE Shortage of 150 Now Exists on Soo Line, Says Chief. In opposing the employment of a: night operator at Anamoose, the Soo | line this weck advised the North Da-| kota rail board that there now exists , a shortage of 150 operators on its sysiem, and that the safe operation of the road will be imperiled by the; withdrawal of any operator from $s now supplied to meet the de- ds of Anamoose.

GUARD! — BROKE DYNAMITE OVER | GHAR, PROVING SAFETY i State House Staff Declines to Wait for Engincer’s Harm- less Demonstration. There was a real sensation at the capitol Friday when the state house electrician in nosing around State Engineer Bliss’ office found a large box marked dynamite. He reported to Custodian Laist who ai once took the matter up with the board of con- itrol, suggesting that the state engi- necr should find a safer place in ‘ich to store nis powder. The board ‘ontrol and the custodian and the chicf electrician procceded in a body to Mr. Bliss’ office. The state engineer confessed that he had a bex in his office. It con- sisted of samples sudmitted for his inspection by manufacturers of ex- plosive selling powder in North Da- Dakota. Under a law which recently became effective the handling of dyna- ; mite and other explosives is carefully reguated by the government and Mr. ‘Bliss is in charge of deputies named in every county to.. supervise this work. ; “But it’s- entirely harmless,” said iMr. ‘Bliss, and he picked up a ‘large cylinder marked “dynamite” and ‘brought it down with a bang over the back of a chair. The audience which had been tuere when his arm ‘began its upward motion was already in the coridor when the blow fell. After this exhidition of speed they slowly filed back to gather up the r mains of Mr. Bliss. The state engi neer was his usual calm, collected self. “You see,” he said, “there's nothing inside but rounds of wood. The companies just send me these as samples to show how they pack and label their dynamite in order that it may be approved before they are per- mitted to ship the real stuif into the state.” GET CHRISTMAS MONEY State Officials Paid in Advance To Help Santa Claus. As a result of an action of the state auditing board this week all state offi- cials and employes will receive their full December salaries on Dec. 21, as- suring them plenty of Christmas money. THEY’LL BOTH LOSE Telephone Company Appeals De- cision for Brakeman. A “heads-you-win-tails-I-lose” type of lawsuit found its way to supreme court Friday when an appeal was taken from the Burleigh county dis- trict court in the case of Meyers versus the Stewartsdale Farmers’ Telephone Co., in which the plaintiff obtained a verdict for $300 in the low- er court. Meyers, a Soo line brake- man, claimed that he was injured by being swept fronr the top of a box car at Magnus by the wires of (the felephone company, which he al- leges were not suspended at proper height. In all probability the costs in the case will equal the amount of the judgment before the litigation. is ended. WYOMING, COLORADO OKLAHOMA ANO KANSAS. Most Complete Map Published.
