North Dakota sends a Message to

Fargo. \. n.-Fargo citizens have
sent a c%ablegram to the North Dakota
boys at Manila. congratulating them on
being In the thick of the fray In the
charge on that city Saturday.

Ing TO put in a wholesale house here.
An incident TO show the great pro-
ducing powers of the Red River valley
Is brought out by the report of ex-Sen-
ator Probstfield of Clay county. MINI.
He has finished his threshing. and re-
ports an average yield of twenty-one to
twenty-five bushels per acre on his
farm. Some fields went as high as
fw~enty-eight bushels. The yield Is not
unusual. but when il Is considered that
some OF the farm has been under cult
yation for twenty-eight years consecu-
lively. the showing Is a remarkable
one. The most recently-broken land
on Mr.. Probstfield's farm has been in
cultivation seventeen years. The soil
seems inexhaustible, and the result is
a most encouraging one for new set
tiers in this remarkable wheat-produc-
ing valley.
a" WV "ihhSdpOllS DOAS dTItSteul
here last week, charged with burglar
izing the Salvation Army headquar-
tiers, are reported to be old offenders.
They are Wells and Brown. and the
former has been in trouble i'm this state
before. Sheriff Severn was here last
night after some members of the Far
20 police force for witnesses.
Buffalo, out In the western part of
the county. is just now enjoying a live
ly scrap. Banker Winsloe was a mem
ebr Of the school board, and announced
his intention to resign, but did not ten
der his resignation in writing. The
board concluded he had resigned. and
called a special meeting, at which Mr..
Brown was chosen as Mr.. Winsloe's
successor. In the meantime Mr.. Wins
loe concluded that he didn't want TO
resign. after all, and brought injunction
proceedings in order TO prevent Brown
from exercising the duties of his office.
These were discussed by Judge Pollock
or the ground that they were improper
ly brought. but the case was not de-
cided on it's merits, and will come up
again. Buffalo is a small town, and It's
citizens have sided one way or the 9TH
er, and are having all kinds OF fun over
the matter.

Told by the Threshers.

Lisbon, n. D.-Threshing machines,
which are now pounding out thousands
of bushels of grain per day in this vi
entity, are verifying the optimistic
forecasts of the farmers. One farmer,
who expected twenty bushels per acre,
got twenty-six. Another had, on a few
acres, a yield of thirty-ive bushels. and
one reports still higher figures. Jacob
Walters, a farmer near B~uttZville, on
Tuesday finished threshing 1S9 acres
of wheat. averaging twenty-six and a
half bushels per acre. Barley Is yield
ing exceedingly well and SO is oats. In
some scattered fields smut is reported,
which lowers the gldde somewhat; but
it Is not thought that wheat generally
is thus affected. 1t certainly is not in
the vicinity OF Lisbon. The wheat is
generally plump and rich in color, and
much of 1t grades No. / hard. A farm
er near Lisbon named Goode, had a
field of wheat, which. when threshed
out, not only graded No. / hard. but
weighed. when tested, sixty-One pounds
per hushel. All harvesting Is done ex-
cept cutting flax, and everything has
been secured I'm splendid condition.
Corn Is the best in many years.
That the favorable yield Of all crops
In Ransom county is having a benefi-
cial effect or the price Of land has al
ready been exemplified in many in
stances. A recent instance of this kind
Is that of Ever Gullickson, q small
farmer near Enderlin, who was offered
81 100 for his 160-acre farm, that could
have been bought a year ago for
1000 less. which was refused. In
quiries for land are springing up every
day. and many intending settlers from
points further east are catching n
in liberal numbers.

Fortress Monroe VIII witness an In
spring Spectacle.

Washington. Aug. 81. = One OF the
largest fleets Of warships ever assem-
bled in an American port will be
brought together within the next few
days at Fort Monroe. Already fifty
even warships are under orders TO
rendezvous there, and the orders still
10 be issued will raise the total to the
neighborhood of seventy. Naval Of
ficials say il is difficult to realize the
extent of such a marine aggregation In
one harbor. The orders began issuing
last Monday when five ships were or
dered to Fort Monroe. On the 10th an
other ship was added. On the 18th
eight more We're sent and on the 18th
seventeen more ships were added. Yes
terday's orders include eighteen more
ships. Before the orders began issuing
there We're eight warships at Fortress
Monroe. SO that the total up to date Is
fifty-Seven. The movement of these
ships northward Is due to the close of
hostilities, and more particularly to
the desire to get the ships away from
points of possible fever infection. They
will now be
Put I'm Thorough Repair
and their crews will be gradually
changed from naval militiamen to sail
ors Of the regular navy. The navy de-
partment has not yet determined what
ships will go to Havana, San Juan and
other points Of Cuba and Porto Rico.
There is felt to be no hurry about this
until the authority of the United
States is fully established throughout
the islands. In the meantime the mat
ter OF policing the shore points is be-
ing considered and in due time a num-
Der Of the light-draft auxiliary craft
and some Of the single turreted mont
tors will be used for this coast patrol.
Ii is found, however, that only four Of
the old monitors Of the Civil war are
fit for this service in Southern waters.
As many naval vessels will be centered
about the West Indies from this time
forward the navy department will
send the e floating deck, recently
bought in New York, down the coast
TO Pensacola, Fla, where ii will be
kept for docking the warships. AT
that point also there are good naval
workshops TO be worked in conjunc-
ton with the floating dock. The dock
is now being coppered and will be
lowed to Pensacola as soon as the Sep
TENDER gales are over.

London, Aug. q. = The Times says
editoriaIly that II foresees circum-
stances which may compel the United
States to a permanent occupation Of
Cuba. and adds: IF America Is pre-
pared TO undertake the responsibility
Of the government of the whole Philip
pine group 1t is hard to see how any
other power could legitimately inter-
fere. Ii the United States repudiates
such a responsibility a very perilous
state of things might ensue, because 1t
would not be easy to dispute the right
of other powers to terminate the state
Of anarchy. Therefore, many difficult
ties will be avoided by American an
nexation. In any case no European
power need reckon upon finding the
United States so easy to coerce as
