Far Assured.

The necessary amount to insure the
holding of state fair has been raised by
the committee on subscriptions and
matters are now held in allegiance until
incorporation can be effected. Farmers
have been interested in the project and
shares disposed OF to them. The com.
mlttee have not yet abandoned work
because an amount just large enough
has been raised, but believe that several
hundred dollars are yet available.
The articles Of incorporation are now
in course Of preparation and, as soon as
can be, will be completed and organiza-
tion effected. Three months yet remain
before the date CT holding the fair. A
great deal of work, the preliminary
details, will be put in operation as soon
40 possible and the fair advertised in
every way throughout the state. As
soon as the articles OF incorporation are
ready meeting Of subscribers will be
called for the election Of officers and q
board of directors, and the appointment
Of committees to attend to the minutia
will te named.

Flour Cheaper.

The city -four mills and the mills gen.
orally throughout the state have made a
cut of 10 cents per 100 pouuds-2O cents
bsrrel-in the price Of flour. This is a
result of a conference recently held in
Grand Forks, at which the milling in
terests of the state were quite generally
represented. The fall in wheat demand
ed q corresponding fall in the price of
-four, and it was finally decided to cut
the price Of flour down twenty cents a
barrel. In addition the Montana trade
came in for consideration ut the meet
ing, some OF the mills deprecating the
action Of Great Falls parties IN keeping
the price to q point where dealers were
furnished with -four at price cheaper
than North Dakota millers could pur-
chase the wheat.

An Indian Battle Field.

just east Of Wimbledon, ays the News
IN speaking of trip to Spiritwood lake
is prominent hill which has the appear
snce of huge mound. On this hill
thirty-eight years ago occurred bitter
fight between the Chlppewas and Sioux
as bad blood always existed between
these two tribes. The battle was long
and desperate and, according to the
story told Nh. Carew by an Indian who
was in the battle, over 700 were killed
This, no doubt, is true, for today can be
seen their mounds in great numbers in
that vicinity. Down few miles below
this scene is undoubtedly where one
tribe of that conflict were encamped, az
the stones arranged in circles used iu
holding down the edges of the tents are
plainly to be seen. ..-.
A few miles farther the grave of q
lieutenant IN the United States regular
army, under Gen. Sibly IN 1868, who was
killed while driving the Indians back to
Fort Totten, after the massacre at Birch
Cooley, Minn., that year.

Declare independence.

I. NJ. Adams: If the editor of the
Alert and myself cannot agree on the
prohibition question we can exactly on
the question of honest money, and I am
glad to see the Alert 'honest" enough to
advocate the cause Of the people, for the
doctrines that the gold papers are
preaching are the greatest heresies OF
the age. AS it is in political campaign
so it is now-British gold dust Is blind
llg the eyes of the newspapers. I am
too much OF New England Yankee to
10 to old England for a political creed
as a financial policy. Let the United
States declare for independence as she
did IN 1776, and if England wants to
foreclose her gold bonds and mortgages,
lei her do it right now-the quicker the
better. Then We will know whether
England owns US, or that We are free
and patriotic nation with the stars and
stripes as our emblem OF national free
dom.
Awhile ago our gold friends we're
shouting about the price of wheat while
silver did not advance very much. How
is it today? Wheat fifty-eight cents in
jamestown.
In 1872 before the demonetization OF
silver-wheat sold at Sl.50. Last year
less than so cents. Price OF cotton same
proportion. There will always be ups
and downs IN prices, but strike an aver
age, and We have the true facts as We
have had them for twenty years. If the
people want relief let them 90 to the
basis OF our troubles and not allow
British capitalists to make loans for the
American people. Bunker Hill monu-
ment still stands!

Capitol improvements.

The board Of Capitol commissioners
Gov. Allin, Secretary Dahl and Audi
tor Briegs-are making many improve
ments in the state capitol and the
grounds adjoining.
The state library has been changed.
The wire screen affairs which served
formerly to separate 1t from the hallway,
have been removed and in its place is a
front of plate glass windows, about five
feet square, and extending in casing of
handsomely finished wood, from side to
side of the library. In the opposite side,
neat and airy reading and writing
room has been fitted up, and window
cut through the north end Of the build
ing, to give Il better light throughout
that side of the library.
There are now, the property of the
state, about 10000 volumes Of miscel-
lareous works, including complete court
reports from thirty-four states, complete
United States supreme court reports,
federal reporters, public documents and
state reports of interest and value. When
1t is considered that the library is but
five years of age, having been built up
almost altogether since statehood, the
showing is an excellent one. Secretary
Dahl has now an arrangement of ex-
change, whereby the state secures court
reports of all states in exchange for it's
own, and, in addition to this, the library
IS subscriber to twenty different law
publications, including all Of value in
the United States. For new state,
North Dakota, has an excellent law
library, and it is being improved each
day in extent and IN the value of it's
possesslons, which now is about $4,000.
A number of convicts are now at work,
blasting and breaking stone for the con-
struction of terrace wall. This will
extend about the capital on three sides,
and will be from three to four feet in
height, and built OF stone which is taken
from the surrounding hills. In front it
will extend from side to side hundred
feet east and west of the building, at a
distance of about fifty feet from the
front. The entire enclosure will he filed
up to level with the wall and where
now is large expanse of sand and gravel
| will be handsome lawn.

Grain Heading Out.

Weather conditions have never been
better nor prospects brighter for crops
than during the past week. Light
showers have been we'll distributed in all
sections, with temperatures nearly nor
NAL, and more sunshine than for some
time past, greatly improving the con-
dition of late planted cereals. Hail has
fallen IN widely separated sections, but
has been unaccompanied by any damage
80 far.
Early sown wheat is heading out in all
parts OF the state, az is oats. rye and
barley, while fax is in bloom in the
central part Of the state, says the state
crop bulletin for the week ending June
"a. The condition Of corn is unsatis-
factory everywhere, the weather has
been too cold for it, and it ls in conse-
quence very backward. The prospects
for hay are excellent IN the central and
western portions, but poor in the Red
River valley and counties bordering on
South Dakota.
Wild mustard is growing rapidly and
doing some damage in the Sheyenne
river valley AMI in Kidder county, whore
it and pepper grass have got the start of
late sown grain, but on the whole the
injury to the crop from frost, poxious
weeds, hail, ETC., up to the present time
is Of very little Importance.

Veterans Enjoying Themselves

Veterans Enjoying Themselves.
Spiritwood lake and its environs never
looked better and more splendid than
now durlng the annual enosmpment Of
the North Dakota Veterans association.
The late rains prevented large number
from attending during tie first few days
Of the encampment, but each day now
sees new additions and, before the end
Of the week, one OF the best encsmp-
ments yet held at this ever increasing
popular pleasure resort will be in pro-
gress. There are q large number OF
veterans and their families now camped
on point Lookout, coming from all
points of the state. Maj. Black, "Unole'
John Russell. and large contingent
from Valley City, are already on the
grounds, and many more are expected
to follow them. People are there from
points in Foster, Griggs, Wells, Barnes.
Steele. Eddy, Stutsman and other coun-
ties in the state. There are as yet but
few families from this city owing to the
wet weather and business engagements
which have prevented their going out.
However, Comrade B1gelow and family
are already there and Mayor Eager,
Enoch Russell and E. L. Calkins and
their families went out today. Others
will 60 out as soon as they can arrange
for it.
Scattered around the lake at different
points are numerous family parties.
There are families there from Dawson,
who are enjoying hugh picnic; another
camp of two or three families is to be
found at the west end OF the lake, while
other little parties are in the vlncinlty OF
LaBrasch's and Fried's. It is estimated
that there are fully as many around the
lake, scattered and broken.up into little
family picnics, as are encamped at point
Lookout.
No camp fires have yet been held as
the weather has been wet. Rev. Clifford
formerly pastor at Valley City, and an
eloquent speaker, Is expected to jolly the
vets with some OF his characteristic
remarks. Valley City, Hope and many
other cities and towns send speakers
