.. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN
OF THE WEATHER BUREAU.
MINNESOTA SECTION.
For the week ending August 100000

There were showers in different
parts of the state, and on almost
every day OF the week. The weekly
amounts were grea test in Clay, Beck
er, Hubbard and Doug glas counties,
and in parts of the Southwest, and
least in the Red River Valley north
OF Clay county, in the extreme South
east and in parts OF the middle West.
The middle and latter parts Of the
week were very warm, the thermom-
eter being above 9Oo in all the south
ern half OF the state on the 18th and
10th. The cutting OF all the small
grains, except fax, is practically fin
ished in the state, though there are
some areas of wheat that have been
abandoned because the ground was
too wet for the operation OF binders
till the grain was too ripe. Shock
threshing is begun in Kittson coun-
ty, and it is fairly we'll advanced fur
ther south, though the week has not
been favorable one for either thresh-
ing or stacking. Considerable grain
that has been threshed since the
heavy rains OF the previous week is
damp, and where shocks were wet
they have been opened to dry before
the grain was put in stack. 1t is
SAID that the shocks are drying out
nicely, and that with dry weather
threshing will 20 on rapidly. The
wheat that was threshed before the
rains is excellent in quality, and in
nearly all parts OF the state the yields
are very much better than was
thought possible some weeks ago.
Considerable flax has been cut. and
that still standing is in all stages
from the blossom to maturity. Corn
is growing rapidly, and in most
fields there are ripe stalks, but ow-
ing to the irregular termination of
the seed, the fields are very uneven.
Considerable wild hay has been cut
recently, but a good deal has been
spoiled by rain. Minnetonka grapes
are ripening. The early apple crop
is pretty we'll marketed. Flowing il
going on nicelyin southern PORTIONS,
but the flies and heat have been se-.
we're on horses. T. s. OUTRAM,

We have now had plenty of rain
and the peat bogs are now extin-
guished.
The fire did considerable damage.
It burned up all hay land and a lot Of
hay in stacks and in cocks. The
hay in stacks could easily have been
saved, but a good many were caught
mapping and good many did not
think the fire would be serious as it
turned out to be. After the fire, these
peat swamps were mass of live
Goals, and cattle. gong out into them
were badly burned. Your correspon-
dent was in the midst of the stroke,
and the smoke was SO dense that
sometimes we were in danger of
choking. We fought fire until we
were entirely played out, and it
looked so at one time that everything
would have to 60, yet we saved all,
except our hay land, which could not
be saved. Among the losers are the
following: Mr.. johnson, about 100
tons in stack; L. V. Lovestone, Is
tons; O. Lee, 40 tons; T. Tweden,
20 tons; H. Austad, 10 tons. One
party from Norman county, who were
cutting hay, loaded all their camping
outfit onto one wagon, intending to
get it away from the fire. When 60
ing across a swamp, the wagon went
down, and they were unable to get it
out-wagon and all burned up.

Well, we certainly have change
in the weather. This forenoon, until
II a. M, it was still and so warm one
could hardly stay out or do any work
at all, but at that hour the wind came
up so cool from the northwest one
was forced to put on a coat; it was
cloudy, with some thunder, but nc
rain, or but a very little, not enough
to stop stacking.
John H. Odberg went to Thief Riv-
er Falls yesterday; expects to bring
home young lady, who is expected
to arrive from Norway. She is to be
his wife in a short time. And SO it
goes-one after another of those old
bachelors get married. Well, here is
good luck to them.
All are very busy here now, taking
care of their crops; been very nice
weather for all kinds of work for the
last ten days, and if it will be as good
the next ten days, all will be done
with grain stacking. K. W.

Senator Davis on Foreign Relations

In an article on "The Foreign Re-
lations of the United States,'' pub
lished in the Chicago Tribune, SeM
tor Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota
expresses himself as follows regarding
the peaceful intentions of the United
States: --..." --.,
The foreign relations of the United
States are, in every respect, auspicious
for peace. No portent is seen that
can cause any reasonable fear of war
We were never more friendly with all
nations than we are to-day. There is
not now, and there never was, any
secret alliance, compact or under.
standing between the United States
and Great Britain. Germany does
not purpose any enterprise in defiance
of the Monroe doctrine, nor is there
any controversy between that empire
and this government which, in the
least degree, warrants the apprehen.
sion of anything more serious than
vigorous and beneficent negotiations
Each state enacts it's own economic
and protective laws, and each state
has the right to do so. These con,
f1icting economic policies will, in due
time, be brought to the minimum OF
conflict by wise and conciliatory di.
plomacy.
With all this the United States will,
as always heretofore, stand for peace
1t is as true of nations as it is of the
smallest villages, or of two families,
or of two men that peace is secured
by obedience to that precept of right
eous selfshness-''m mind your own
business We shall attend to our
own affairs. We shall not entangle
ourselves in the controversies of Eu-
ropean states, nor, by any unfriendly
act, intermeddle with that which does
not concern us. These states will fight
to the utterance their own wars in
their own way, and be judges for
themselves of the cause for which
those wars shall be waged.
The United States is the great
armed neutral of the world. It will
have peace, not as the boon of sup
plant non combatant, but as the right
OF peace loving, armored puissant
nation whose rights are secured by it's
manifest ability to cause other ma
tions to respect them.

West Valley.

aug ~, l9UO.
1t has been very warm for the past
few days; mosquitoes have also been
plentiful for few evenings.
Harvest is over and shock threshing
will commence this week. Most farm
ers will stack their grain, and a few
have already begun.
Miss Susanna Finberg, one of Mar
shall county's teachers, is visiting
friends here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Finberg, of Holt,
visited friends here Sunday last:
0. F. johnson returned from the
vicinity of Stephen Friday last; he
will be engaged in threshing there
this fall.
Some are busy with haying yet.
Owing to the recent rains, some of
the hay got damaged.
A. Larson, of Marsh Grove, and a
former resident of West Valley, visited
old friends here on Sunday, a week
ago.
The Temperance Society had very
enjoyable meeting last evening espe-
cially one number on the program, a
dialogue of nine, is worth mentioning.
Another rattle in Foldahl Saturday
evening, which was attended by some
West Valleyans.
Notwithstanding the drought Of this
summer, wheat has grown wonderfully
in some places, especially on Mr.. Ole
Thompson's farm, where some of it
has grown to the extent of five feet
and one inch, with heads Of FIVE to
six inches.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Peterson, of
town Of Wright, visited friends in
Vega last Sunday.
Threshing has now commenced.
We have not been able to find out
what the yield is per acre. It is,
however, safe to say that it is going
to be a very light crop.
The Republican club will meet Sat-
urday night at Swanson's school
house.
The rains of late have been a great
blessing for the pastures and hay
meadows, not to forget flax and corn.

DEATH OF w. N. CONOVER,

Mr.. w. N. Conover died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. G. A.
Tullar, in this city, at nine o'clock,
Sunday morning, Aug. 10, 1900, OF
heart failure, at the good old age OF
u years to the day.
He was taken sick, suddenly on
Friday evening, and hence departed
this life after an illness of but Sc
hours. He was born in New York
state. His life had been full of activ-
ity. At Neenah, Wis, and at Gin.
cinnati, Ohio, he had been engaged
in business. About three years ago,
he laid aside active business cares,
and since then has spent the eve OF
his life quietly at his daughters home
in this city. AS he has passed in and
out among our people, we havelearned
to know him as fine old gentleman,
who always had a kind word and a
smile for those he met.
The remains were taken to Neenah,
Wis, for interment, that place having
for many years been his home and
the scene Of his greatest activities. A
short service was held at the home by
Rev. e. i. M. Clark. on Monday az
ternoon, before the coffin was taken
to the depot. Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Tullar accompanied the remains to
Neenah, Wis.

BIG FIRE
Destroys Lund's Saloon and
Franson's Shoe Store.

Ire destroyed the saloon OF
John b. Lund and the shoe store
and harness shop OF Frans Franson
on Thursday night last week. The
tire was discovered about three
O'Clock, 81. |. Golden being the first
one to arrive at and ring the fire bell.
The fire had started in the saloon
building, and had gained such head
way and spread with such rapidity,
that when the firemen and citizens
appeared on the scene, the whole
building was mass OF flames and it
was useless to think Of saving either
building or contents. The Franson
building adjoining also caught fire
Immediately, and was doomed to be
destroyed. In a short time the fire
men had two streams of water play
ing on the fire, and by their efforts
the johnson building, which stood
next to the Franson building, was
saved. In the mean time. the crowd
OF people had entered the Franson
building and succeeded in removing
therefrom a considerable part OF the
stock Of shoes and harnesses, piling
the same in promiscuous heaps in the
streets. The fire spread so rapidly,
however, thqt it was impossible to
remove all, and an immense amount
Of goods were burned. In the upper
story, a large quantity OF winter and
unreasonable goods were stored
away, none OF which were saved.
For a while it looked as if the John
son building would also be destroyed,
and the occupants, namely F. E. Mel
son, the tailor, the Pihlstrom & John
son west side meat market, and a
family named Tornblom, living
upstairs, commenced to remove
their property. That it was
possible to save this building is
proof Of the efficiency Of the Warren
fire department. Fortunately there
was hardly any wind, and this fact
made it possible to subdue the fire
more easily.
How the fire started is amystery.
When first disc oyered, it was burning
in the saloon building.
The loss on account Of the fire is
quite large. John E. Lund places the
value OF his stock and fixtures at
$4,000, on which he carried $4,000
insurance. Frans Franson is a heavy
loser. On March 1st, his stock ia,
voiced at IS, ,992. %, since which time
large additions had been made fol
the fall trade, SO that the total value
OF goods on hand was fully $4,000
He carried only $4,000 insurance or
stock and building. Ed. Edlund, o
Newfolden, was the owner OF the sa
loon building, on which the insurance
had expired a few days before, its
value, about $500, being a total loss
Mr.. Edlund had come down the day
previous to renew the policy, but die
not get around in time to have il
done.

How delightful to know that at
least one Of the SHEAF's mighty staff
of reporters is girl!
Messrs. Smebak, M. Tunheim and
Samuel Garborg were in Thief River

blacksmith.
Mr.. Pete Shefeland was out driving
on Sunday with his fine horse.
Another flower has been transplant

gardener took this one from the fami-
ly Of N. Dahl last Thursday night.
It was the little daughter who recent
ly made her abode there. Her part
ing illness, cholera morbus, was brief,
only lasting couple Of days. The
funeral took place Sunday, Rev. S.
Tunheim officiating. Many people
showed their sympathy by being
present.
Lars Hoff, of the Angus prairie,
visited friends here Saturday and
Sunday. He is a believer in spiritu-
alism and hypnotism, besides being
an experimental farmer and, like his
brother Helge, considerable of an or
ganist and singer.
Mr.. T. Tunheim's son is to be
known by the illustrious name Of
Theodore Roosevelt Tunheim if ru-
NOR is true.
The bites of mosquitoes are like
kisses compared with the sting Of
hornets. To be stung by four hor-
nets in close succession, as was your
Newfolden reporter on Monday, is
enough toalmost extinguish life.
Ole johnson, of Argyle, was out
here lately.
D. B. Bake was in Warren and
Argyle this week.
We hoped that the mosquito would
pass US BY this year, but they are

Chain letters are nuisances. The

copying Of the letter thrice is not a

but the selection of the friends
whom you are willing to burden in
this way is most troublesome. You
dare not attack business men; they
are too busy. Other people have
hardly time to write to an absent son
or daughter, brother or sister. Can
we not find some other way of helping
needy persons whose friends are not
able to care for them?
Bryan's speech at Indianapolis is
