Lake Superior Off Eagle Harbor.
Ashland, Wis, Aug. S.-The steamer
Roanoke burned on Lake Superior last
night. Not yestige of the boat is left
and her charred remains have sunk some
where off Eagle Harbor. All of the crew
were saved. They had abandoned the
boat for half an hour and were in small
boats when picked up by the steamer
George Spencer, which arrived here at
1920 this noon and was boarded first
by the correspondent.
Capt. McManus of the steamer Spencer
said that he picked up the crew of the
Roanoke at 1870 this morning. The
boat was doomed when they abandoned
her and burned all back of the midships.
The fire started in the crank pit of the
Roanoke, land got SO much Roadway

Reports from the Grain Fields of Min
nesOta and Dakota

Duluth, MINI, Aug. 13.-Reports
from the grain fields of the northwestern
part of this state and Dakota are that
threshing is very generally in progress all
over the Red River valley. As farmers
are loading direct into cars from the
threshers there ought to be very consid-
cradle new wheat receipts this week To
day several cars came in, and the first
carload of the year, which was booked
on the board of trade Saturday, was ten
days ahead of last year, and earlier than
ever before known. The yield is very
spotted. Cass county and all the section
about Fargo is likely to avera ge from six
teen to nineteen bushels, while the north
ern portion of the valley, in both Mime
sofa and Dakota. in the vicinity of Grand
Forks, is much less fortunate. West of
the divide separati the Red from the
James river the crop is poor, while fur
ther to the south the grain is short and
scattering. Generally speaking, the berry
is lighter and smaller than usual.
