JUDGE DUGRO DISAPPOINTED.
Mullns's Scheme Failed to Work,
and He, Too, is Unhappy.


Judge Dugro has been disappointed in his
plans for the extension OF the Savoy Hotel,
which he Is building at the corner OF Fifty
ninth street and Fifth avenue.
The lot just south OF the Savoy is owned by
the Jeanette Rudd estate, and there is a
frame building on 1t which is under lease TO
Frank Mullins, who runs saloon there.
The lot next south OF the saloon is owned
by Judge DugrO, who recently offered the
Rudd agents $4,000 for the strip OF land
sandwiched between his lots He also offered
Mullins $1,000 for his lease.
Mullins saw a chance to make stake, as
ne thought, and took advantage OF 1t. Under
MS lease, which had nearly run out, he was
paving $4,000 year rental. lie offered
$4,000 year for q new fivc-year lease and
got It. Then the Rudds raised the price OF
the lot to Sl25, 900, and Mullins's price for
MS lease went up to Sl5, 1000.
Judge DugrO has reluctantly abandoned his
project for extending the Savoy, for the
present at least, and Mr.. Mullins Is be-
ginning to think that his shrewdness may
prlng him TO GRIEF.

GOOD PRICES FOR WHEAT.

Grand Forks Herald: Magnificent
crop prospects throughout the North
west on this End day of July render it
as practically certain as any future
event can be, that the month Of August
will see one Of the greatest wheat har-
vests ever known. Copious and we'll
nigh excessive rains have removed all
possibilities of injury 20 crops through
lack of moisture. A recurrence of hot
winds, SO disastrous last year, is in the
highest degree impossible. In this
kind Of a season hot winds do not pre-
vail. Losses by hail may possibly
afaict very small areas, but in proper
tion to the whole area are never more
than Insignificant. The usual compen-
sations Of temperature in view Of the
low temperature prevailing during
June, give reason to expect warmer
weather through July and the first two
weeks Of August. Frosts before grain
is harvested are Of course possible but
not at all probable. All in all, an old
time abundant harvest is practically
assured. Together with this prospect
of large yield, conditions in other
wheat growing countries Enthusiastically
indicate that PRICES viii rule L:ga in

Bad Blood Engendered.

Quite a furry of excitement was oc-
casioned Tuesday afternoon when it
was reported that lawyer W. H. Stand
ish, of Lakota, was in town, and that
his mission was the prosecution of sew
eral Rolla parties for the unlawful sale
of Intoxicating liquor. Several war
rants were issued and placed in the
hands of Constable Ingebretson but no
arrests were made until Wednesday
afternoon, when Charles Macarthur,
Jr., was arrested by Sheriff Mclean
for selling liquor several months ago.
The case was brought before Justice
Galloway and upon motion for change
of venue was transferred to the court
of Justice Widmeyer. Judge Burke
appeared for the defendant and W. Fl.
Standish for the prosecution. Upon
motion by the defendants attorney to
dismiss the case for the reason that
the states attorney was the proper one
to prosecute the case, other grounds,
the court considered the point well
taken and sustained the motion.
Late Wednesday evening Rev. D. E.
Baldwin and Linsay Bush attempted
to pass each other Oh the street, when
collision took place, as result of the
proceedings, with the usual attendant
result. Baldwin swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Bush for assault and
battery while Bush retaliated by hav-
ing Baldwin arrested on the same
charge. The cases were called this
morning and upon motion of the states
attorney both cases were dismissed

Few people could, guessing off

week made up at the pension Office,
and here is the total footing: ST.
2S4,7l6,OO0. Just think of it, one
billion, two hundred and eighty-four
million, seven hundred and sixteen
thousand dollars. If this money
was all in fifty dollar bills, the aver
age mans life would not be long
enough to count it, not even if it
were possible for him to work con-
tinuously at the task.

aye III Europe. North Dakota No. !
hard will be worth money this year.
With the exception of Russia, the
countries of Europe will not raise
wheat enough to supply their own peo-
pie. Shortage in Europe means large
demand at good prices for expectation
from the United States. This foreign
shortage is thus summed up by the
Minneapolis Tribune:
The United Kingdom will want some
thing like 150, 600, 600 bushels of wheat
from outside France is conservatively
estimated to need ITO. 600, 900, for, from
the reduced acreage alone there is re-
duction at an average yield, of As 5,OOO,-
600 bushels. without even considering
the poor prospect for what acreage
there Is. Italy will probably need 4O,-
Oco,0oo bushels to supplement it's crop
that is poor, for on the average that
country takes three-fourths as much
from others. Germany, Spain, Holland.
Portugal, Belgium, Greece and Swift
zerland will all need to import wheat.
Russia may be able to spare considera-
Die, and the bulk of further exports
must be from America. for India and
Australia have been largely drawn
upon already.
One French authority estimates the
natural wants of Europe above home
supplies in the countries importing, at
44O, 100000 bushels, against surplus
of all exporting countries of $40, ,OOO, 900
bushels. The needs of importing coun-
tries are as stated perhaps too large.
Russia is looked to from western Eur
ope to supply about 10O,OOO,0OO bushels
OF wheat to England: France and the
other countries requiring to import it.
The lowest shortage figured for these
countries aggregates 352, 100000 busll-
els with possibility of being much
greater. The inhabitants of those
countries have yet to pass through ap-
parent relief and evident disappoint-
ments before their crops are harvested
and their food positions really settled.
The demand for wheat is so great in
France that the larger part of the duty
has been removed to take effect July
10 instead of the latter date first agreed
to. While it is yet too early to estimate
with any confidence as to the actual re-
suit of harvest, the shortage cannot be
less than $1,000, 900 bushels, nor more
than 15O, 200, 900 bushels, and will prob
ably about equal our excess of produc-
ton above last year.
The large Indian exports of wheat
that have been made since the harvest
ing of the new crop, have given rise to
the plea that the rise in prices that has
drained that country faster than ever
before would leave it with too little
food for its own people and might be a
calamity if not soon prohibited. The
Indian government considered the case
and found that if an emergency arises
from the too liberal exports, a proposal
to interfere with trade would be i'm
proper and useless, and that depletion
OF the food supply should be remedied
by importations.
