Important Opium Capture.

CHICAGO, July 12.-An opium capture
was effected here last night to which the
police and United States officials attach
great deal of importance. Special
Treasury Agent J. J. Crowley has had a
suspicion that opium was being snug
gled into the city and sold to the Obi
nese laundries Last night he caused
the arrest of John Reynolds at the
Phoenix Hotel while the later was in the
act of receiving chest from the Union
Depot containing SO pounds of opium,
valued at twenty dollars a pound,
Reynolds claimed to be car
penter. and the chest containing the
drug appeared to be chest of car
penters tools. In the top of the chest
were found tools, but relase of the
false bottom disclosed opium. The
prisoner is about thirty-five years of age
and says ne has been in the city but
two days. Officers think inasmuch as
the chest came from the west that he is
acting in conjunction with regularly
organized gang on the Pacific slope, and
has been doing large business in the
city. The government officials think
the arrest will break up the entire gang.

Alleged Dakota SwindIers.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The News
Times says today: Copies of circular
letter have been received in this city
which reveal the existence of dastardly
scheme to swindle eastern people who
have made investments in North and
South Dakota. The letter comes from
loan and mortgage company of Devils
Lake and is sent to the people in the
small towns of eastern states who have
taken advantage of the big rates
OF interest offered in the west to put
their small holdings into real estate
mortgages. It is desired to swindle
such of these as have held mortgages
signed by farmers who have been forced
by the short crops of tile last two years
to default on their interest. In spite
of the prospects for bounti.
full crop all over the northwest.
This year these would-be money-makers
send out gloomy letter, saying that
grasshoppers, drouth and storms have
ruined everything, and advising the
small mortgage to sell his mortgage at
25 per cent of the face value. According
to the letter from DEVILS Lake this
firms purpose is to buy the mortgage
from eastern holders and when the
big crop is harvested resell them
at large advance. The same correspon-
dent says that stock company has been
formed and this swiadling scheme
started on a large scale. three or four st.
Paul men being in it. It further says
that these very men are among those OF
originally induced the eastern people to
make the Investments. No names are

ST.. PAUL, July 12.-Specials to The
Pioneer Press from various points in
North Dakota report heavy rains during
the past twenty-four and forty eight

North Dakota, says: Between 800 and
400 west-bound passengers on the

The rain last night was worse than at

The west-bound passengers cannot ar

Hotel Fire at Duluth.

ST. PAUL. July 13.-Special to the
Pioneer Press from Duluth: The ST.
Louis Hotel was discovered to be on
fire at 2:15 this morning. The fire is
supposed to have originated in the Elk's
Lodge room on the upper floor, from q
burning gas jet into which the curtain
was blown by the wind through an open
window. An alarm was not sent until
the fire bad gained considerable head
way, and it was considerable time before
the fire department got streams playing
on ire: There was heavy wind and
the hotel was like a finder box. The
new portion of the hotel built three
years ago is now completely Quilted
with little prospect of saving much of
me building. The property was sold
last year for S35O,0O0. It is the prop
erty of the Boston Realty & Investment
Co and is fully insured. The loss will
reach SITS, 600.

The Scheme Of a South Dakota
Syndicate Sat Down
Upon by
Indian Commissioner, Who Pro,
poses to Have All the Glory
That Is in 1t.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Indian Com
missioner Morgan gave a black eye to-
day to what is known as 1.-The Western
Worlds Fair Exhibition Co." This
syndicate has been doing some heavy
booming lately. It was organized in
South Dakota with capital of quar-
ter of million dollars, and with all
leading officials, from the governor
down at its back. Its intent has been
to bring to the Worlds Fair representa-
tives of all the living aboriginal races in
North and South America, together with
all their implements of warfare and do
mesticity. The incorporators are w. J.
Wellman, of the Dakota Central Bank;
Tray W. Pratt, of the Pierre Gas and
Fuel Co.; w. s. Wells, president of the
Northwest Land Association; James
A. Ward, general manager of the Du-
luth, Pierre Black Hills Railway,
and others, designated as "Lead-
ing Citizens Of Dakota" Aside
from these the company has written en-.
dorsements of Gov. A. @. Mellette, Sill
preme Judge A. G. Kellum, Secretary
of State A. o. Ringsrud, State Auditor
L G. Taylor. State Treasurer W. W.
Taylor and other leading state officials
and bank presidents. The recent an
nouncement from Pierre states that the
company has not yet issued stock,
though applications for it from parties
in New York, Philadelphia, Columbus,
Indianapolis and Toronto have been re-
ceived. But notwithstanding the
governor, supreme court judges and
$25O,000 capital, Indian Commits.
sioner Morgan decided that
SUCH company could do no good
and may do much harm to the Indian
exhibit which the government Indiaa
bureau proposes to make at Chicago.
The bureau will make this exhibit very
complete, with representations from all
the tribes of the country. and this bu-
reau, in connection with the Smithson-
ian Institute and the Bureau of Ethnol-
ogy, will cover everything relating to
the American Indian, ancient and mod
ern, and cover it so fully that private
companies will not be wanted, and will
not be permitted to take part in exhib-
iting Indians.

sides these John Sanderson, Andrew
Anderson and 81. D. Myers received
painful but not dangerous hurts The

President Cakes Interviewed.

NEW YORK, July 10.-President
Cakes, who has just returned from a
trip over the road, thinks that the out
look for the Northern Pacific is bright.
He is quoted as follows:
found everything along the line of
the road, aside from the town lot and
real estate speculation, in most pros
porous condition. The wheat and hop
crops on the Northern Pacific lines are
assured, and the yield will be larger
than in any previous year in the history
of the state.
In North Dakota the outlook for a
great wheat crop is most promising,
and the next fifteen or twenty DAYS will
demonstrate whether full yield may

ments of the Northern Pacific road last
year amounted to 5000 carloads.
This year we expect to move 10000
carloads. Passenger earnings continue
to increase over last year. Freight
earnings are showing slight falling
off, but look for an early change in
this respect.
Thegr earnings of the Northern
Pacific proper for May were 81, 902, III.
On the Wisconsin Central lines the
earnings were $3.50, 7O5, total for the
whole system of S2,293, 476. Operating
expenses for the entire system were
81. 800, 353. The total net of the system
for May was S1,155, 1913 Approved
fixed chalges in that period were
81. O33 $50.
The gross earnings (Northern Pacific
proper for May the previous year were
81, 964, III and net 1881, 155. It will be
seen, therefore, that the net earnings
this year (Northern Pacific were about
500, 600 larger. We kept no record of
the earnings of both companies the
previous year, SO no comparison can be
given.
The slight falling off in the Wiscon-
sin Central freight earnings is due to
the depression in the iron ore traffic.
The decrease in Northern Pacific earn
ings is due to the shutting down of the
Anaconda copper works. We will not
be In position to give exact figures of
operations, for the fiscal year ended last
week, until about September, but est
mate that about A per cent was earned
on the preferred stock. The next neet-
ing of the board will be on the 1Gth
inst. 1t will probably be for a routine
character.
