1t would seem, if the reports published in
a recent issue of the Detroit Record are au-
thoritative, that there is trouble ahead for
T. B. Walker and other Minneapolis pine
land men, in their possession of pine land
in Beltrami comfy. Under the provisions
of the act of congress approved June 8,
1872, and March 8, 1873, providing for ad-
ditionai homestead rights, many thousand
acres of these valuable lands were filed
upon, and the title thereto transferred un-
der powers of attorney to the lnmbermen
and pine kings before patent for the same
was issued by the government. These
speculators have held these lands in peace
full and undisputed possession for many
years, and extensive logging operations
have been conducted thereon. Tho courts
have ruled, however, that these transfers
under power of attorney were illegal and
that the original settlers title to the land
is still good. Duluth parties, evidently
seeing a good thing ahead. are now using
every means in their power to hunt up
these original holders with view of OBJ
tanning from them quitclaim deeds, and
Register Of Deeds Hanson is kept busy
furnishing copies of the original instru-
ments which were recorded way back in
the seventies, and which are being ordered
by the dozen. There is evidently business
ahead for the courts, as it is beyond the
range of probabilities that the pine land
men will let go their valuable holdings
until the last shadow of legal right or
technicality has been exhausted GTooks-
ton Times.

Results Of the ClOulburst
Bismarck Tribune, July 18th.

The full extent of damage done by the
storm of Saturday night was not learned
at the time, but from reports obtaind it is
evident that it was the most destructive
storm that ever visited this section of the
country. In Mandan the rain came down
from the western hills in torrents, filing
cellars and washing away sidewalks. At
one time water was nearly four feet deep
on Main street and surging ahead carrying
all movable objects with it. It was feared
the foundation of the Inter Ocean hotel
would give away and all parties asleep
were awakened and warned. On Stark
avenue houses we're flooded and much fur
niture spoiled, carpets were covered with
mud and chinaware blackened. All lum-
Der and other movable objects were car
ried to the lower end of the city. The
Northern Pacific railroad seemed to suffer
the most severe loss between Sweet Briar
and Sims, or at least this section was the
last to be made passable. just east of
Medora land slide completely covered
the track and another west of the same
point buried the rails over three feet
under the earth. Between Sims and Sweet
Briar the bridges were washed away as
we'll as some of the track. The first bridge
out of Mandan, which spans the Little
Heart river, was disabled, like many OF
the others, by the washing away of the
lower supports. There were nine bridges
either completely gone or badly damaged

Bismarck Tribune: The official reports
say that from one to two weeks more will
place wheat beyond danger of weather
damage. This may be true, but the farm
er is not safe until he gets the wheat in
the bin, and even then there is danger
of the price.

Acreage of Grain in Mclean County.

In view the fact that certain local
newspaper has persistently and repeated
ly asserted that the acreage planted in
Mclean county this year was much less
than that planted last year, we have taken
pains to ascertain the facts from the sta
tistioal reports of the several county asses
sors, with the following results:
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1891-07-18
Total, .4,337

1t will be seen by the above tables that
the farmers of Mclean county have plant
ed 656 acres more of wheat, and ITO acres
more of corn in 1891 than they did in 1890.
In 1890 there were 1O3 acres of potatoes
planted in the county, and this year there
are 1877 acres, an increase of "a acres.
Surely this does not look as though the
county was being depopulated! On the
contrary, the Indications are that the
yield of grain and vegetables for 1891 will
far exceed the production of any previous
year since the county's organization.

SOME OLD VESSELS.
A Veteran TopsaII Schooner Built in
1919.

One of the oldest vessels on the list OF
merchant sailing vessels OF the United
States is the schooner Hiram, 67 tons gross.
built in 1919 10 Biddeford, home port Calais
Maine. Mr.. A. FL. Sawyer. OF that city, who
now owns her, thinks he has the Oldest
American schooner now In commission
During the lifetime Of the old lumber drover
covering period of nearly half a century,
she has been a most lucky craft, turning
many an honest dollar to help increase the
big surplus of the ship owner. When the
Hiram was new she was called topsail
schooner with q square rig, and one of the
largest sailing vessels afioat. Her net ton
mage, 64.41, compared with schooners of 400
net tons OF the present day. will show the ad-
vancement in the building of large vessels.
She was engaged in the West India and for
eign trade From lime to time the coaster
has been repaired. and is now as good as the
general run of small craft. Captain Win
tiers Is In command of the old ship.
There are, however, several vessels In SER
vice as old or older than the Hiram. They
are mostly barks. form of vessel that has
seemed to weather the storms better than
any other. At the head of the list Is. or at
least was about a year ago. the old bark
Rousseau, of 3O5 tons, built in Philadelphia
In 1901, and owned in New Bedford. Mass,
whence she has probably sailed as whaler.
Whaling vessels, II they escape wreck, are
likely to last many years. because their tim
bers get soaked with oil. Other old barks
are the Ocean, built in Haddam, Conn.,, in
1922; the Falcon, built in Medford, Mass, In
1877; the Triton, built in Fairhaven, Mass,
in 1918; and the Coral, built in Boston In
1919. All OF these but the last hail from
New Bedford, and are probably whalers.

FOR MERCHANTS WEEK.

a'a'" eflnsfhss MffstefDatefE y +"

mi
Ihere was special meeting OF the mo-
chants Association last evening tor sne pui-
I post Of making arrangements for mer-
chants week at some time In the near
future. Owing to the showers tnere was
only small attendance and no dennlte re-
snlt xyas reached Mr.. K. ID. Eastman OF
stman Bros, presided and called for an
evnrassion OF opinion as to the best date for
,be week. F. w. Stockman of w. L.. Wilson
g 70. said that he was heartily in favor of
the movement on general principles. He
thought that in spite of the early date last
spring, much benefit was derived by the re-
tail dealers from the week, and he thought
that by fixing the proper time this. fall, still
more benefit might be derived. He Thought
that the last week in September was soon
enough, and that little later would do no
harm.
Mr.. Clayton j. harrington OF Farrineton
Bros. said that for the clothing trade the
best date would be the week including Octo-
Der Sth or 10th. He said that from now un-
I'll then was between hay aud grass in his
business, the summer trade being over, and
the fall and winter buying not commenced.
Merchants Week would not accomplish the
desired result unless the desire of the people
to buy supplies could be turned to account.
MIR. Eastman agreed with Mr.. Harrington
so far as the benefit to the dry goods bust
ness was concerned. He thought that cool
weather was more essential to stimulate fall
buying than a fixed date. II the last of Sep
TENDER is cool and fall like, Merchants week
could best be held on the first week in Octo-
Der. er !
Mr.. John Greene Of Wyer Greene & Co.,
said that SO far as the shoe business was con-
cerned, almost any time from now on would
be acceptable. The fall trade has not yet
commenced, but will In short time.
Mr.. Albion Keith Of j. A. Merrill & Co.,
suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of keeping clear Of
the country fairs. The people are interested
in these and until they are over he thought
there was not much chance for rival enter
prises. He thought that the date suggested,
the week including October 9Th to 10th would
clear them all.
1t was finally decided to hold a second
meeting next Tuesday evening at p. M. at
which time subcommittee will be appoint
ed and the date fixed.
