Opium SMUGGLING.

A novel opium smuggling scheme
it has just been discovered. is being
worked on the northern border OF the
state, whereby the United States govern.
ment is losing big money in duties.
Parties buy old oxen for IS or $40, roll
opium in lead or tin foil balls, force these
down the throsts of the oxen and drive
the loaded cattle across the line, valuing
the oxen at next to nothing. They drive
on until the oxen give out, when they
cut their throats, extract the opium balls
xnd ship them east "a merchandise Two
old oxen alone are said to have carried
over enough opium in this way to save
the long beaded buyers $4,000 in duty.
The balls are placed over the palate and
are thuse swallowed whole. When the
paunch is afterwards cut open they came
out perfectly sound. Two brothers have
made 10000 in this business in short
time lately.
Cattle smuggling is also said to be
carried on extensively. A government
is now said to be looking
up the matter.

Rain Is Needed.

The past week has been cold with
frosts nearly every night in some part of
the state which have not, however, been
as damaging to crops as was anticipated.
Outside of the Red river valley but little
damage has been done, and there it is
not reported as serious. Early vegetables
were almost entirely destroyed, as was
fruit. flax, millet and barley, but as the
greater part of the latter grain has just
been seeded and was not up. the damage
is confined to that sown early IN the sea-
son. Wheat appears to have suffered
very little, most reports agreeing that
the cold weather has been beneficial in
causing 1t to stool.
More rain IS needed IN all parts of the
state as the surface of the ground is dry
and has been baked by the warm weather
of week ago. but this dry weather has
in measure been a great protection to
crops, as had the ground been wet, with
the cold weather of the past week, frosts
would have been much more destructive
than they have been.
The telegraphlc reports show quite
rise in temperature in the northwest
and it is probable that the coming week
will be more favorable than the past one
At Kensal frost has done considerable
damage to young flax and corn. Seed
ing about completed.

Bound for Hudson Bay.

B. P. Tilden returned Friday from q
visit to Winnipeg where he went to look
up the prospects of the building Of what
sknown as the Hudson Bay road, which
is projected from Portage la Prairie to
Hudson Bay. A preliminary survey has
been made and other parties are out
making additional surveys. The dis
tance 10 about 500 miles and il built will
develop big country Of rich coil similar
to the Red river country. A subsidy
given by the Canadian government for.
the line is said to be $4,000 mile and q

have an idea that a water route will be
feasible in addition to developing the
country traversed.

A SEVERE FREEZE.
Ice Forms Quarter of an Inch
in ThiCkness-Some
Grain Injured.
Damage Not Yet Fully ASCer.
tained-Some Fields Prob
ably Reseeded.

The frost Of Monday night seems to
have been the elimination of series of
trosts which have extended over the
state for week or ten days past. The
freeze was the most severe OF any which
has occurred this spring. Ice formed in
the city and at many points in the state
a quarter of an inch IN thickness. Icicles
a foot long we're taken from water car
standing on the track in the railroad
yards here and other equally positive
proofs Of tie severity of the freeze were
to be seen during the day. Farmers
coming in today say that il some cases
wheat has been cut down TO the ground
while others OF different localities report
little or no damage done to the wheat
and oats crops. However. those who have
flax and barley above the ground believe
that they will be compelled to re.seed or
plant to other crops. Flax is now scarce,
the state being drained of seed, and it is
almost impossible now to secure seed at
reasonable rates. Gardens and all ten
der vegetables, Of course, suffered the
most, but these can be replanted with
out great loss. Fortunately much grain
and most vegetables have not yet made
their appearance above the soil.
A farmer coming IN from Spiritwood
stated that the freeze left the fields
black in all directions. The grain, he
thinks, in the case of wheat, will come
through all right, however, should rain
come soon to invigorate it. The cold
weather and lack of rains was beginning
to turn the wheat yellow.
Reports from different parts of the
state say that the temperature ranged
from "a to 80 degrees above zero. Ob-
server Branch states that bis thermome-
ter registered 80 degrees 40 the lowest
temperature Monday night and 81 deg.
the night previous.
Several residents, who are interested
in farming operations, made special trips
into the country during the day to make
personal Investigations it damage was
done. Many have considerable land into
fax and for this they were especially
solicitous. A fairly correct estimate Of
the damage done by the frost cannot be
made for day or two. Many consider
the lack OF moisture IN the soil to have
soved the grain from complete disaster
as the roots Of the grain would have then
been frozen. II rains follow it is believed
that the wheat crop will come through
without loss, il it Is not benefited.

have fallen at Churchs Ferry Saturday

The Young Men Must Hustle.

The Young Men Must Hustle.
The lectures delivered Sunday morn-
ing and evening, respectively at the Pres
byterlsn and Congregational churches,
by Rev. E. o. Taylor, Of Chicago, were
attended by audiences that packed those
houses Of worship. The subject Of those
two lectures and OF the two that are to
follow was that of the temperance ques-
ton, each lecture to be devoted to
different phases Of the question. Rev.
Taylor clothes bis arguments in scholarly
rhetorical finish, and 10 eloquent in their
delivery. but 10 not "rsnter" OF the
sensational sort, such as 60 about the
country az temperance lecturers for the
money there 10 IN it.
The lecture Sunday morning was
upon the elements which constitute good
citizenship, and that of the evening upon
the dsngers that beset tie pathway Of
the youth Of the country, showing that
crime is steadily reaching down to youth
until now statistics prove that the ma
jority Of criminals are mere children. As
the hope OF the country is in it's youth,
80 the danger Of the country is in the
corruption of it's youth, political
maxim that has been demonstrated over
and over again, IN the downfall of the
republics of ancient Greece and Rome
through that of every civilized govern
ment. He predicted that unless more
care was taken at home in the government
of "that boy of yours and creating in
him respect for the law OF home, thereby
laying the foundation for respect for the
law of the land in later life, the women
OF the country, perforce Of circumstances
and se]fpreservation, will take the reins
of government into their own hands.
He said the statistics show that the ratio
of high school graduates Is now about
four girls to one boy, whereas thirty
years ago the girl graduate was almost
unknown. The young women have al
most the entire field as teachers and are
rapidly gaining in the commercial and
business circles. These are facts which
stand face to face with the young men OF
the country. 1t is contest Of lntellec-
tual capacity and moral merit in which
the best must and will win. He &C.
counted for this condition, and thought
statistics sustained the view, as the
result Of demoralizing and degenerating
habits into which the young men of the
country have fallen. among which are
the use Of tobacco aud liquor, by which
their intellectual and moral faculties are
impaired and blunted. 1t is not becauee
the young women have gone forward
80 rapidly bnt because the young men
have fallen back.

Charge of Scandal Fails.

The management OF the Deaf Mute
school at Devils Lake has not been as
harmonious as surface view would indl-
cate. Rumors of scandal and immor-
ality on the part OF tho professor and
others connected with the school
demanded an investigation which has
continued over the past four months.
This resulted in a complete vindication
OF the superintendent and teachers. The
school closed on the 18th inst, a month
earlier than usual, partly for economy
and because Of dissensions among the
faculty. Superintendent Spear resigned
at the last meeting owing to this dis
sension. The trustees called for the
resignation OF the balance of the faculty.
They refused, were discharged and the
school was closed. The present trouble
arose over clash of authority between
the superintendent and the matron.
Spear is willing and anxious, he says, to
have Gov. Allin make thorough inves-
tigatlon. Parents OF pupils attending
the school from Grand Forks and other
points are circulating petitions to the
trustees to have him retained. Lack of
harmony and continued quarreling
between the teachers, matron and super
lntendent, coupled with the desire to
economize, is the only reason for the
action taken by the trustees The prob
abilities are that the school will reopen
in September with an entire new faculty
