TALX OF BOYCOTT.
Possibility Tha, America May Withdraw
From the faris Exposition.

Possibility That America May WtthdPAW
From the faris Exposition.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. 1t is believed
that when congress assemblies there will
be considerable agitation Of PROPOSE
ton for this government to abandon its
participation in the Paris exposition
1t is known that expressions hostile to
the exposition quoted from Senator
Stewart are very widely synpathized
in and it is thought that if the convic-
tion of Dreyfus is permitted to stand
there will be very little friendly feel.
ing for France among members Of
either the house or senate.
Such a move, however, would be a
grave one. 1t is pointed out that to
withdraw from participation in the ex-
position would be regarded as an
Onicial Insult to France.
No further legislation on the part of
plans of this country for the exposition.
About s., 200, 900 has been appropriated
for the expenses of the com mission and
the government exhibit, the commits
sion has been appointed and the space
desired for exhibits from this country
has been secured.
There are now only two ways in
which congress could interfere. One
would be to revoke such part of the ap-
preparation as has not been already ex-
pended in the expenses of the commits
sion, and the other would be to pass a
resolution declaring that on account of
the unsettled conditions the valuable
government exhibits should not be sent
to Paris

Crops In Red River Valley.

A great deal of wheat is being stacked
and fall blowing done before threshing
IN the Red river valley. Shook thresh-
ing is we'll along. Wheat is running
from 10 to 20 and some fields more.
Flax Is the best crop this year as re-
gards profit. although heavy drop
four cents Monday, from last Satur-
days price has occurred. Farmers are
reported to have sold before threshing
most OF their flag in order to cinch a
good price. The grades of wheat in the
valley is much better than last year.
Nearly all of it is free from the foul seeds
of last year and there is only little
smut. The majority OF fields will give a
No. northern grade.
Threshing wages are 1926 day and
crews are nearly all running short. The
usual run Of slough labor" is cut down
considerably this year. The Great
Northern has posted conspicously the
North Dakota anti-tramp law notice,
which was passed by the last legislature,
and it seems to have had it's effect. The
men sey it does not pay to come up here
for the short season.
Wheat tanks in the Red river valley
haul big loads. One two horse team
drew 7430 pounds. One team OF four
horses drew 153 bushels net. Its poor
four horse load that doesn't average
over 5000 pounds hauled to elevator
dump. The G N. trains engines haul
a half mile Of empty box cars over the
level track of their lines.
A tram load of farm hands from
Michigan arrived at Grand Forks to
work IN the threshinR crews. They are
getting 1925 and 81 so day and many
may come out to be permanent resi-
dents. Dsgoes are being sent west for
railroad work.
A peculiar threshing accident occurred
near Blanchard last week. One of the

STORM BREWING.
Prevailing State of tranquility in France
Not Likely to Last Long.

Prevailing State of Tranquility in France
Not Likely to Last Long.
PARIS, Sept. 13.-Except for slight
street disturbances Paris has remained
unexpectedly quiet, but this condition
of affairs is not likely to continue. The
long, heavy rain Of the past two days,
combined with the fact that the leaders
of the opposing parties were all at
Rennes, prevented any organized dem
onstration. Then, too. the general pub.
lie were delighted with the verdict as
confirming the "chose jugee." Now
however, they are beginning to see the
want of logic in conceding ''extenuat.
ing circumstances to convicted
traitor, a concession which excites
doubts as to the strength of the case
against Dreyfus.
Moreover, public opinion is being
sobered by reading the comments of
the world at large and by the prospect,
however remote, that the exposition
will be boycotted, which would mean
loss of millions to the country.
Fresh Troubles Looked For.
There is little doubt that the trial OF
the De Rouledists next Monday, at
which it is asserted sensational evidence
will be developed, and the reopening OF
the chamber Of deputies will be signals
for fresh troubles.
At present both parties are taking
breath, but the latent animosity is un.
diminished. 1t is stated that the last
years proceedings have cost the Drey.
fus party at least 100000 francs. They
do not intend to let matters rest and
rumors are revived of the impending
arrest of General Mercier.
It is understood that President Lou.
bet opposes such an extreme course as
prosecuting Mercier or the other gen.
erals. He is rather inclined to a con.
policy, extending even to
pardon to Dreyfus.

NEARING WATER
The ArteSian Well Drill is Get.
ting Close to the Water
Strata.

The drilling at the artesian we'll is
nearing critical point, the depth now
reached being over 1920 feet. The old
city we'll is called 1476 feet deep. Ere.
quent sharpening Of the drill is neces
ssry which makes the work slower thar
usual. Specimens of the water bearing
sand stone have been brought up by the
drill. A number of specimens of iron
pyrites, coming from over the cap rock
have been thrown out. The strata is
usually from to 10 feet where these
pyrltes are found IN abundance and it is
hard drilling through it.
The last pipe of the we'll will be an
iron pipe, AZ inches in diameter with
three rows of perterstons several inches
each in length. These perforations will
admit the water and serve to keep out
small stones or matter that might clog
the pipe.
As the drill is uow in very hard rock
it may take several days to 60 through
it. The 6 inch pipe is now resting on
the top of the hard cap rock as 1t can
not be driven any deeper without crush
ing it. The water may not come up
with a rush at first and it may. II not

water bearing sand stone is penetrated
deeper. The AZ inch pipe being pre-
pared by perforatinR for a bottom piece
is 20 it. 6 inches long. This may be
sufficient or it may take one or two more
such pieces. This length of perforated
pipe is intended for a strainer to pre-
vent rocks and obstructions eutering
the bottom Of the main pipe. The
water bearing sand rock caves and
crum bles easily. It is intended that
this strata be drilled through to the
lower or bottom layer of hard rock, be-
ycnd which there is no water. The AZ
inch pipe which is thin pipe with no
collier on 1t set into the inch pipe. how
far is yet to be determined, but, being
loose will not interfere with the upward
flow Of water. It may rest on the side
OF the pipe or if the flow Is large remain
stationary. It is intended as strainer
only and is not taperlng off Of the
we'll with pipe smaller than that re-
qulred in the contract. 1t can be re-
moved and replaced with another
strainer at any time. The contractor
advocates putting in such strainer and
says he has one in we'll on his farm in
Frankfort, S. D. The insertion Of the
AZ inch pipe IN the 6 inch pipe only re.
duces the diameter of the we'll Is of an
inch and If found unsatisfactory will be
removed The SIX inch hole is to be
drilled through the water bearing sand
