prospects in this section of North Da-
kota are very bad. There was n
good rain this spring, and wheat is dy-
ing for want Of moisture. A good
soaking rain this week would, how
ever, help the fax crop, but no matter
how favorable the weather may be
from this time, the wheat crop will be
nearly a failure, and at best only half
a crop. Flax can be raised.
CONDITIONS NOT IMPROVED.
Grand Forks, N. D., June .15.-Geo.
B. Winship says crop conditions have
not improved during the past few
days. In northern tier of counties
prospects fair for 80 per cen crop, but
in the territory bordering on the Rcd
river there will be a complete failure
unless rain is forthcoming in a few
days. Cool weather has helped condi-
tions a little, but at the best, with CO.
pious showers, only half a crop seems
probable.

BLACKLEG.

BLACKLEG REPORTED AMONG
CATTLE IN sTUTsMAN COUNTY
-sCAB IN SOME BANDS OF
SHEEP SHIPPED IN.
jamestown, June 13.-District Veter-
marian Moore has returned from Spir-
itwood lake where he vaccinated cattle
afflicted with blackleg in the herd Of
John Spisla. Most of the cattle be-
long to other parties but are herded
by S2isla during the summer months.
Six head of cattle had died of the
disease before Veterinarian Moore was
notified.
The cases are the only ones reported
in Stutsman county and it is believed
that further Losses will be prevented
by the prompt action of the district
veterinarian. Vaccination seems to
be a success wherever tried and has
saved many stockmen of the county
heavy losses.
The disease generally comes through
cattle shipped in from ether states and
farmers generally should insist on hay-
ing all herds examined.
Sheep shipped in from Montana this
reason have in numerous instances
been found to We afflicted with scab
an" !Tnchmen in the western portion
of the state and elsewhere are insist
ing that the same be dipped so that
the disease may be eradieated.

ASYLUM CENSUS.
CENSUS OF THE STATE INSANE
ASYLUM SHOWS TWO-THIRDS
ARE OF FOREIGN BIRTH.

ARE OF FOREIGN BIRTH.
Jamestown, June 16.-The enumer-
ator has finished the asylum census
and finds some interesting statistics
about the inmates. OF the 344 patients
only % were native born Americans.
Of the number there were from Nor
way, 2SM per cent; Germany 8 3-5 per
cent; Sweden . per cent; Canada 8 2-5
per cent; Ireland II per cent. From
the various states Wisconsin has sent
%, Minnesota i, Ohio 10 and one ma
tive from North Dakota. The inher-
tied insanity of many of the patients,
natives Of foreign countries, is appar-
ent. They have been unloaded on the
United States by officials of foreign
countries and have been sent west as
immigrants. There is no doubt but
that the United States is caring we'll
for thousands of the foreign insane
who should be a just charge on the
countries from whence they come. 1t
means a large sum Of money as the
cost of maintaining a single patient
for many years as is frequently the
case, is large. The North Dakota asy-
lu:o does not contain as large a per
cent of patients in proportion to the
states population as other states, al
though the impression seems to pre-
vail that it does.

RAILROADS OBJECT TO THE WAY
THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY
is BEING LISTED IN FARGO.
Fargo, June 19.-The railroad COM
panies will have a kick coming on the
assessments made in Cass county, ac-
cording to all reports, and one has al
ready been registered by the local at
torneys for the Northern Pacific.
When the assessors met at the county
auditors office in May for instructions
and supplies, Assistant States Attor-
ney Engerud directed that the per-
sonal property of the several railroad
companies be listed the same as the
personal property of a farmer or mer-
chant. This vas explained as meaning
the furniture and fixtures of the sta
lions and other buildings of the sew
eral railroad companies. In the aggre-
gate this would mean a considerable
sum added to the annual assessment.
The restaurant at the N. P. station was
listed at $1,000 and Ball, Watson &
Maclay, for the company, gave notice
of protest against such an assessment.
The companies claim that the tax paid
the state of a given sum a mile for
main line, branches and sidetrack set
ties the matter of taxation so far as
they are concerned, with the exception
of what real estate the company may
possess. States Attorney Engerud
insists that fixtures and furniture be
assessed and it is likely that the mat
ter will be adjudicated in courts in due
time.
