CONDITION OF WHEAT.
ALL SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT

VERY BACKWARD IN THE
NORTHWEST. 81. - :
Minneapolis, June 12-H. v. Jones,
commercial editor of the Journal, who
has been making a. tour of investiga-
tion of the wheat fields of the north
west, says Of the condition of the fields
in the Red River valley:
- &' From Minneapolis to Fargo and
Grand Forks the ground is dry and the
showers that have fallen have done
nothing more than brighten the wheat
a bit; the moisture has not been suffi-
cient to mature the plant and bring
out a good head and the question now
is, how long the plant will stand the
dryness and mature, any head worth
mentioning. n. - -. 4 III.
The best wheat, as it now stands,
will run from six to zen inches high.
1t should stand twelve to fifteen inches
high. Here is an evidence of damage
that should not be overlooked if the
facts are desired. The plant lacks in
growing power. It is practically at
standstill now, and either declining
in vigor or close to the turning point
toward decline, as shown by the fire.
quent thinness Of growth, the many
short blades two or four inches high.
and a paleness of color that does not
indicate health, The probability is
the wheat has been living on frost,
which accounts for its greenness with
drought around. With this moisture
exhausted, the blade will yield quickly
to the drought if not relieved.
The crop from orookston to Grand
Forks looks better than from Grand
Forks toward Grafton. In the center
of this district and close to the Red
river there are patches of better prom
ise, but otherwise the condition is bad:
The wheat is struggling in some in
stances not up. 4. zs5>5..'. . +
About Grafton the showing is not
on the favorable side. From Grafton
to the boundary there is no improve
ment. Toward Park River there is
noticeable improvement. The wheat
in that section has had considerable
rain and the plant is of good color.
With rain it will mature a fair crop.
In the district about Inkster and Orr
there has been large damage from
sand storms. Fax has suffered espe-
cially. The Elk Valley farm at Lari-
more will yield only moderately. In
the Northwood and Mayville section
there is better wheat again. The Dal-
rymple district has nothing to boast
of. ~ IS, ].
The; general characteristics of all
these sections is about the same. The
wheat is undergrown, is uneven and at
the best not over ten inches high with
a good half of it six to eight inches.''

TELEGRAPH NOTES.

The occupation OF Adrar, the prin-
cipal city of the Touat Oasis Of North
Africa. by General Serviere is consid
cred a success for the French arms of
no little Importance. General Serviere
has now complete possession of three
groups of Saharan GASES, and this has
been accomplished without striking a
blow. and 1t would appear that the
French are masters of the region
stretching between Algeria, Tunis,
Tripoli and Morocco. Doubtless there
will be struggles for independence on
the part of the tribes, but one Is abe

will be forced to follow the fate OF
others.

DR.. SMITH TO
COME ON CHINA
Ne v Pre-. ident of Oahu Brings
WITH Hin Several
Teachers.

Prof. Arthur Maxson Smith, the new
president of Oahu College, will arrive
from the States on the China on Sep
TENDER 18th accompanied by his wife
and family. This news was received in
letter to Chief Justice w. +. Frear
which arrived by the Gaelic yesterday.
Prof. Smith states in his letter that
he brings with him three new teachers
for the college. William M. Burns,
who will be the new professor of math-
ematics, is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Chicago and has for some time
been professor of mathematics in one
of the Chicago high schools. Miss Hell
enc V. Johnson, who will be the director
of the art department, is a well-known
artist of Chicago. Prof. Ballaseyus.
who comes to assume charge of the
| musical work Is New Yorker and Is
very highly spoken Of. The three will
prove acquisitions to the teaching staff
of Oahu. With Prof. Smith will also
come a teacher for the kindergarten OF
Punahou Preparatory school. She Is
Miss Uecke, young lady who has had
much experience in kindergarten work
in the States. 1t is likely that new
matron for the girls department of the
college will also be brought by Prof.
Smith. but as yet none has been chosen.
The Chicago papers singled out Prof.
Smith for special praise In their de-
scriptions Of the recent commencement
exercises at the University Of Chicago.
The Times Herald prints a portrait Of
him with the following story concern
ing him:
Arthur Maxson Smith, who took his
doctors degree yesterday at the Uni
versity of Chicago and who will take
up the position of the presidency OF
Oahu College at Honolulu, Is consider
ed by the authorities at the university
! as one of the brightest young men ever
turned out of the school. In fact, his
| recommendation for the position at the
head of the leading school in Hawaii
| was made by DR.. Harper at the request
| of the trustees of the Island college.
Mr.. Smith is Californian, and took
his first collegiate degree, that of bach
| elor of arts, at Pomona College in the
Golden State, and followed it up with
a course at the University of Chicago,
where after two years he was gradual
ed from the divinity school. In 1896 he
was called to take the pastorate of the
| Baptist Church at Marshall Mich,
which he held for two years, and in
| 1898 came back to the University of
Chicago in order to take some advanc-
ed studies in theology and religious
work"
The Chronicle says:
arthur Maxson Smith was the stu
dent who attracted most attention In
the comforting of the degrees. He re-
ceived the degree of doctor Of philoso-
ply DIR. Smith will go to Honolulu to
assume the presidency of Oahu college"
This Is the Tribune's comment:
1.-THE Rev. Arthur Maxson Smith,
who took the degree of doctor Of phllos-
ophy yesterday. will start Immediately
for Honolulu, where he has been elect
ed President of Oahu College, the larg-
est educational institution in the Ha-
waiian Islands. The college was estab-
lished fifty years ago by missionaries
of the congregational Church and has
property and endowment valued at ST.

REPORTED ATTEMPT
TO KILL THE SHAH

PARIS, August 19.-The Steele says: A
an attack similar in all points to that
made by the anarchist Salson In Paris,
on August I'd, was made yesterday on the
Shah Of Persia. Details of the assault
are lacking.
The Echo de Paris publishes the bare
statement from Ostend that an attempt
had been made upon the life of the Shah.
adding that owing to the lateness of the
hour II was impossible to obtain confir-
nation of the report.
None OF the morning papers except the
Steele and the Echo de Paris print the re-
port from Ostend that an attempt was
made there on the life of the Shah of
Persia
THE SHAFTS CHARACTERISTICS
NEW YORK, August 1S.-The Worlds
Paris cable says: Since the departure of
the Shah of Persia for Ostend the Paris
papers are filled with curious anecdotes
about him and his suit during his stay
here. He caused his Persian servants to
be logged almost daily for the least Of
ferse, and once he even ordered one who
had upset candlestick on the table.
burning the Shah's hand slightly, to be
decapitated. French advisers had great
trouble In making the Eastern ruler I'M
derstand that he must refrain from such
practices.
Among the Shahs remarkable pur-
chases was more than two tons of French
candies, principally sugar almonds, which
he munched at the rate of a pound a day
after his discovery of these dainties at
tho confectionePs. The thing that be-
wildered the Shah more than all the other
wonders that he saw was the affection of
n European husband for his one wife,
even long after age had rendered her un-
attractive. At an official banquet given
10 the Shah by President Loubet the Ash
attic monarch critically surveyed the low
necked matrons around the table, almost
all middle-aged wives OF high personages.
and then remarked bluntly TO General
Parent, who sat next 10 him: II can't
understand why you retain your attach
ment for women. and especially why you
bring them out when they have reached
such advanced age, In my harem all
women are young"
The Figaro says that the cost of the
SLah's purchases while he was here was
more than 100000. When the Shah and
his Persian colony vacated the sumptu-
