Devils Lake and the DrOuth.

The water in Devils Lake has fallen to
such an extent that it is said dry land
now extends from the old wharf, built
when Minnewaukan was started, dis
tance of two miles east. Owing to this
fall of water the little pleasure steamer,
Minnie H., which phys between Devils
Lake and Fort Totten, came near going
to pieces lately. The Devils Lake Inter
Ocean says:
Last Sunday the Minnie H., while re-.
turning from Grahams Island with a
party Of eXcursionists, ran onto reef of
concealed rocks, and but for the staunch-
ness of the boat and skill of Capt. Heer-
man, serious disaster would undoubt.
edly have taken place. The boat was
making about twelve miles an hour when
it struck and the shock is described as
terrific by those who were on board. A
strong wind was blowing at the time and
the stern of the boat swung around un-
til 1t was broadside of the rocks, where
it lay and pounded for several hours.
While this was going on those on board
expected every moment the boat would
60 to pieces, so hard and continuous
were the shocks. A small boat was sent
to Heerman's landing for aid, but before
it arrived word had been taken to Fort
To:ten of the steamers distress and the
new mail steamer, the Axtell, came to
the rescue and took Off the passengers.
The reef is about three miles east of
Grahams Island wood reserve and Capt.
Herman states that he has passed back
and fourth over this course hundreds of
limes in the last seven years and never
suspected the existence of such thing
until he looked out of the pilot house
Sunday evening and saw the big boulders
within a foot of the surface of tie water.
On all sides the water is deep, ranging
from fifteen to fifty feet, and had the
boat gone to pieces it is quite likely it
would have rolled off the reef into deep
water and the passengers would have
been compelled to grab a life preserver
and take chances on getting to shore.
The boat was extricated from it's dan
gerous position Monday night about II
O'Clock and al examination revealed the
fact that it was uninjured. This speaks
we'll for the construction Of the boat, for
there are few craft, even on the lakes,
that could undergo the pounding and
grinding the Minnie H. passed through
without damage.

An Over Estimate.

Grand Forks Plaindealer: The Fargo
Argus estimates the wheat yield of the
state at sixteen million bushels, COM
puted on an average in the valley of tif-
teen bushels. Our advices from our best
wheat growing area lead us to believe
that this is an over estimate of the prob
able yield. In the course of Il week we
will know the facts. Harvesting IS now
general over the valley and next week
threshing will be. Then we have basis
to predict from as it IS now surnise
counts for more than facts.

aries.
No Authority to Act.

Hon. David Bartlett of Cooperstown,
one of the state railroad commissioners
left for st. Paul today in compll-
ance with request of Attorney General
Goodwin that the board of railway com.
missioners of this state meet the man
ayers of elevator lines for the purpose Of
conference over the alleged difficulties
which the grain men claim will prevent
them from complying with the elevator
laws of the state. Commissioners Mont
gomery and Underhill and Secretary
Harris will also be present at the meet
ing Wednesday in Minneapolis. The
elevator men have sought the interview
and secured it through the attorney gen
eral. This conference with the railroad
commissioners, says Mr.. Bartlett, can
hardly amount to anything. The COM
missioners have no power to compromise
with the elevators about refusing to pay
the licenses, even il they desired. The ele-
vator laws now in force are not, in his opin-
ion, excessive or unjust. The only law that
cannot, from its ;provisions be enforced,
is the state inspection law. The reason
for the commissioners not putting that
in operation have been fully explained
before and are because of totally inetiic-
lent appropriation for the expenses of
the inspection. The only other grain law
about which there is any doubt OF fair
ness is the one fixing storage rates, and
it is not clear but this law will work sat-
isfactor1ly if given a fair trial. The CON-
mission believe that the law requiring an
annual state license Of $3.50 a thousand
bushels capacity is not excessive. The
other license required is simply a nomi-
nal one of one dollar per thousand
bushels capacity, to be paid but once to
the county auditors at the time Of filing
notice Of intention to engage in the bus
ness of public warehousemen, which
license fee IS to 60 into the county fund.
Up to the present neither Of these
state laws has been complied with, and
it is believed the companies do not IN
tend to do SO, but will try to shift THERE
sponsiblllty with conferences and delays
in order to hide the facts as far as pos
sible from the public attention. In the
mean time harvest is at hand and the
elevators, having declinedto accept grain
on the terms of storage of past years,
many farmers indebted for seed to the
companies and otherwise mortgaged will
be forced to surrender their grain at
whatever price and at whatever grade
the elevators at non-competing points
throughout the state may offer. There
is not the slightest doubt that this plan
will work great hardship in thousands of
instances among the poorer farmers Of
this state.

Cattle Better PrOperty,

Emmons County Record: Verify, 1t
appears that the day of the cattle man is
coming. Monday, last week, train of
some twenty odd cars of three-year-old
steers from Dickinson passed through
Fargo bound for the Chicago market.
They were fed and watered IN the cars
and hurried through. Friday their
owner returned. The steers averaged
1900 pounds and brought 81 hundred
-S52 per head.

cooked the crops to such an extent that
there is nothing for this year left. They
expect to return in the spring and re-
sume farming if the prospect is at all
favorable. They are not discouraged.
but will cling to their claims, feeling con-
fident that il they get one crop or two

Will Furnish Cars,

It is understood that General Man
ager Mellen Of the Northern Pacific is
making special efforts to furnish farmers
with wheat to ship, all the cars necessary.
The farmers will appreciate and remem-
Der the fact later on. If the elevators
refuse to take grain on storage as hereto
fore, the action of the Northern Pacific in
supplying cars promptly can not be too
highly commended.

Bad in the North.

The Church's Ferry Sun says that
close inspection of the wheat crop in
Ramsey county shows that the hot, dry
winds are iniuring it to a greater extent
than many are aware of. The wheat is
shrinking now, and will shrivel still more
when harvested. Don't look for over
half crop, and only small percentage
of that will grade No. hard.
