ing lett this morning, thinking his men
were secure, and they have gone. 1t be-
gins to look like another long chase.
Ordered To iuluth.
w. II. Failon, observer Of the weather
bureau here, has been ordered to Du-
luth. The order came to Mr.. Fallou
several days ago, and since that time
his friends have been ~endeavoripg TO
have the order rescinded, and his reten-
ton secured. kilograms were sent to
Senator H%ansbrough at Devils Lake, and
one was sent by Governor Shortridge to
Senator Roach in Washington. But
Senator Roach's influence seems not to
be what his friends might have desired,
as the following from the Washington
correspondent of the Minneapolis Trib-
une will show:
w. H. Fallon, chief Of the weather
office at Bismarck, n. D. has been ordered
transferred to Duluth. FalIon's removal
was upon the report Of an inspector and
is much against his wishes. Gov. Snort
ridge telegraphed Senator Roach to secure
faIlon's retention. but the weather bureau
declined 10 rescind the order.
Mr.. Fallon's removal is the result of
an investigation made some mouths ago
by Inspector Bate. There had been sew
eral Influences brought to bear to secure
his removal, and it is probable E. c.
Hobbs, who was remo7ed from this sta
ton to Buford come time ago, because
OF %lnternecine strife in the local office,
had something to do with it. At any
rate, the investigation was made and the
inspector decided that both men now in
this office be transferable other stations
AID so stated when he had finished.
MIR. Fallon has made a good official at
this place, and has identified himself
with a state weather and crop service,
to aid which he was instrumental IN Sc
curing the passage of a bill, sppropriat-
ing $1,000 yearly, through the last legis-
lature. he is deeply interested in this
work, and, Of course, regrets. the transfer.
His successor will be Observer Bronson
of Duluth.
smut Wheat.
Smut has spread so rapidly over the
wheat fields of the state that over half
OF this years crop is damaged by it, and
deprecated in value from 2 to 8 cents a
bushel. AS smut infested seed will pro-
duce smutty wheat, pure seed is neces-
sary. The board Of railroad commits.
sioners announce that they have par
tally completed very favorable arrange
ments with the railroad and elevator
companies for assistance in securing
pure seed, the railroad companies giving
at least a half rate, and possibly better.
Definite arrangements will be an
nounced later. Those having smut in
their wheat should arrange to take ad-
vantage of this seed, as a change OF seed
is said to be favorable to a good yield
and good grain, aside from the advantage
OF having a pure and clean seed.
Masonic Social.
About sixty we're in attendance upon
the Masonic social Thursday, and all re-
port q jolly time, from 8 o'clock until after
II. Dancing, duplicate whist, tiddledy
winks, and other methods Of amusement
were employed, and with resultant an
joyment to all.

J.T. Carey, the popular %baggageman
