The Flood.

At this writing, on Thursday, the
water in the Red River ut this point
lacks six feet Of the high water mark
OF 1893 and seven feet, two inches, be-
low the flood mark of 1882. The river
is steadily rising at the rate of about
seven inches each twcnty-four hours.
The water is reported as rising at
Croobston aud the Grand Forks pa
pers are silent. Train men say pas
sengers have to be transported around
the bridge at that point and the cars
drawn by cable through water deep
enough to come up to the car steps.
AS it takes about six days for water
to come from Grand Forks it is pro-
bablc that under the most favorable
circumstances we may look for in
creasing water for that time. So far
us the toWnSitc is concerned three
more feet of water will not create
much Inconvenience, and at six feet
more the streets would be we'll out of
water. But even the present stage
of water must have flooded the low
lands along the river, and' in some
cases'plowed ground, and farmers near
the banks are getting ready for re-
moval in case they have to. The
slow progress OF the rise gives plenty
of time and there is no danger of any
harm event tho incOnvanjcnca of
moving

THE populist leaders try to make
the people believe there is no differ.
ence between the republican and de-
mocratic parties, and they might as
we'll vote for the one as the other.
Here is one of the many differences
between the two parties named which
the Argus thinks worthy of mention.
The last republican administration
paid $3.50, 100000 of the interest bear.
ing debt of the government and left
the treasury solvent, while this last
administration has increased the in
tercst debt s2G2, 100000 and has an
empty trcasury.-Fargo Argus.

Upon a recent visit to the Vulcan colliery,
of the Mill Creek Coal Company, there was
exhibited to the representative Of The Col
liery Engineer an invaluable adjunct and
something which should have place at every
coliery. 1t was fire department, equipped
fully with the necessary apparatus. A small
house constructed Of corrugated iron is
situated mt safe distance from the breaker.
In this house is located a medium sized
pump with connections laid to the pest of
steam boile-s. and a large water tank. A reel,
containing 800 feet Of good scrviceable hose,
is hung on supports. Nozles Of various sizes,
wrenches washers, etc. are placed where
they can be quickly reached. In case Of a
fire breaking out, in two minutes from the
time the alarm is given, a stream of water
can be thrown over the breaker. Certain
men have certain duties to perform in case OF
fire, and must attend to these only, and the
result is thoroughly trained and disciplined
force. In addition to this the precaution OF
having barrels filled with water, and buckets
conveniently hung at different points in the
breaker, has been taken. Every two weeks a
thorough inspection of the entire apparatus
is made and a written report of its condition
is made to Superintendent Jones This order
is imperative.

tremendous power he has welded in that
city is slowly but surely slipping from his
grasp and his reign will soon be thing of

FINANCE AND TRADE.


ohhpie Llhess
NEW YORK Aug. 22-Bradstreets'
agency says General trade throughout
the United States Is practically confined
to staple lines. The volume of business Is
no larger. Where orders have increased
in number they are smaller in size. In
almost all instances they are based on
nearby requirements, The feature of the
week is the increased difficulty in making
collections and the higher rates for mer-
camille discounts. Credits are being
scanned more closely than heretofore and
are granted less freely.
r.. G.. Dun g. Co.'S weekly review of
trade says; Political events of the week
had no definite influence upon business
prospects for the phenomenal variations
in sterling exchange, and the beginning of
imports of gold may be fairly attributed
IN the accumulating excess Of merchan-
disc exports over Imports to which atten-
ton has been repeatedly called, exports
from New York for the past two weeks
having been 20 per cent. larger and inn
ports here 81 per cent, smaller than last
year There is rapid curtailment of pro
duction in iron and steel, the Illinois Steel
company having only seven of it's seven
teen furnaces at work, but in spite Of this
the supply Of finished products appears to
greatly exceed the demand for them. The
one bright spot is a sale of 1900 tons of
steel rails to Japan for rehtting railways
In that country
The total of business failures In the
United States is 264 this week more than
last week, ~ more than in the week one
year ago and 13 more than in the third
week of August, 1894, the period of ex-
treme depressian after the year 1898.
