ARE GOOD BUT HAY CROP PROM
ISES TO BE SHORT. ~fs
Grand Forks, June SO. A. Web
ster, the we'll known insurance man,
who is a very close observer of crops,
has just returned from an extended
trip, and said yesterday morning:
THE conditions for a good crop have
never, in my opinion, been better. The
acreage of land seeded is. very great,
the work was better done than l ever
knew it to be done before, and the
seeding was completed very early The
ground has been in excellent condition,
and, contrary to the opinion held by
many, do, not believe that the state
has suffered from drought l think
the cause for good deal of the nerv-
business which has been exhibited is
the fact that the season. was so much
earlier than usual that people have be-
come confused in their reckoning. In
ordinary years farmers are busy seed
Ing during the first half OF May, and
praying for dry weather. This year
most Of the wheat seeding was done
before May and people began praying
for rain. The ground has not been
wet, but in few places has it been so
dry that early sown grain has not got
a good start. This last rain will send
it, right along. Flax seeding, pur-
posely delayed because this grain
should not be sown early, is just over,
and the rain is just right for it. I
think the only bad effects from the
dry weather will be in the shortage of
hay and baroness of pasturage. The
grass crop is certainly backward. In
fact wild grass has scarcely started.
This fact may result in late crop of
beef from the ranges, and hay will be
hay this fall

RESOLUTIONS.


tlves of Bear Lake County, Idaho,
in convention assembled, do again
affirm our loyalty and devotion to
the time honored principals of
Democracy, as enunciatcd and ex-
empllfed by Jefferson, Jackson and
Bryan.
We again renew our fealty to
those principals, which have stood
the test of nearly century of time,
and although they have at different
times suffered defeat, they stand
out to-day brighter than ever as the
protectors of the peoples rights, as
against the greed and aggression of
monopolistic class.
We point to that peerless states
man and patriot, who through four
years has withstood the most scath-
ing denunciation, the most rancorous
criticism, the most searching inves-
tigation from his enemies, and
comes out of it all the purest, high
est and noblest type of American
manhood that our country is cap
able of producing, all of which
stamps him as the most fitting rep
resentative of the masses, that man
of the people is William Jennings
Bryan. And we further unqualified
ly endorse him for the democratic
nomination for the presidency.
We agree with our opponents
that the present republican admin
istration has carried out its pledges
to the people who furnished its
campaign fund for 1896, that is the
monopolists, trusts, money sharks
and other corporate wealth, and,
while giving them full credit for all
these, we denounce the policy that
makes money kings of few and
serfs of the many, as the present
administration has done and is do
ing.
We unhesitatingly still endorse
that document known as the Declar-
alton of Independence, and partic-
ularly emphasize our belief in that
portion which declares that call
men are created equal" and there
fore we find ourselves in opposition
in spirit, as well as in fact, to the
acts of the present republican ad-
ministration.
We contend that the man is great.
er than the dollar he produces and
again we are brought face to face
with the republican party and its
acts, and hereby declare our earnest
intention of assisting to place the
government ngain in the hands of
the masses Rs against the rule of

appointed to select Is names for
presentation to the convention for
their action. Those named above
were unanimously chosen.
The chair then announced that
nominations for delegates to Poca-
tello was in order. To insure that
all parts of the valley have an equal
chance on this delegation and in the
further interests of harmony, Mr..
O'Connor proposed that eight be
selected from each side of the valley,
allowing the whole convention to
either ratify the choice made or re-
ject it. This was opposed by some
Of the west side delegates and the
proposition was voted down, and
the convention proceeded to nomi-
nate candidates from all over the
county, thirty-fve names being
placed on the board. After consid-
erable waiting for the tellers to
count the ballots, those named above
were declared elected. On motion
the sixteen having the next highest
number of votes for delegates were
declared elected as alternates.
Then the chair called for the
names of those who had been select
ed as committeeman by the various
precincts, and the following were
handed IN:

classes, and thereby break down the
barrier that at present exists, where
by the government is administered
in the interests of the few to the de-
triment of the many.
We denounce any policy which,
in order to be carried out, has to set
aside the plain provisions of the con-
stitution, therefore we are unalter-
ably opposed to colonial possessions
over which the flag, but not the con-
stitution has jurisdiction. We be-
lieve the flag and the constitution
so hand in hand, and that's all peoples
rights are equal under them. That
no policy which provides for differ
ent rights under our constitution
should be permitted lest the Union
be placed in jeopardy
On state affairs we unequivocally
endorse the present silver state ad-
ministration for the splendid and
economical manner in which the
states affairs have been handled.
And we further heartily endorse
the course of Gov. Stcunenberg in
his successful efforts to restore
peace and prosperity in Shoshone
county, Idaho.
And in conclusion we pledge our
selves to vote and work, for the
success of democratic principles,
the principles that are the peoples,
and on these we ask the hearty CO.
operation Of I'll irrespective of past
party affiliations.
NOTES.
The convention was of the most
harmonious character throughout.
Many ladies were in attendance
as delegates.
Under J. r. o'Connor's PROPOSE
tion, for selecting delegates to Poea-
tello, Dingle and perhaps Bennipg-
ton would have had a delegate,
whereas under the rule adopted they
both failed in having member from
their towns chosen.
Ed Pugmire made, as he always
does, model chairman, while Tracy
Shepherd and J. S. Barrett kept the
secretary's work well in hand, and
at no stage did the convention have
to wait for them.
Very little speechmaking was en-
gagged in, the delegates evidently
being bent on dispatclling business
as fast rs possible.
The delegates to both conven-
tlons go absolutely uninstructed.
not word having been introduced
as to what they should do. They
are representative men of the party
however, and no doubt the conven-
tion felt that they could trust to the
delegations judgment.

ORIGIN OF THE VIOLIN.
Ths Neurological story Of the In.
strament - Told By . NAG
aaine Writer.

In the National Magazine is an in
teresting article regarding the history
Of the violin. The writer says: An
ancient legend tells us that one day
as Orpheus, son Of Apollo and the Muss
Kalliope, was walking by the sea, trill-
ing in soft cadence song taught him
by the celebrated teacher, Limos, he
was attracted by the sound Of sweet
music, which seemed but the echo Of
his own glorious voice. He walked
along. singing, and the sound ap-
preached. as il to meet him, till finally
it rang at his very feet.
Glancing down, he saw the shell of
turtle, which had been cast high and
dry upon the beach and left there by
the receding waves. The little thing
had died and dried up SO that only the
Sinews, sbriveled to strings, and the
shell remained. The dried up ainews
were tightly stretched across the hol-
low shell and the wind as it listed
touched the strings, causing them to
vibrate over the shell sounding board
and give forth the sweet, sad tones.
Enchanted, he bore his treasure home
and from it fashioned the viol shell,
with which he ever after accompanied
his voice, and the nymph. Eurydice, en-
chanted by its magic, became his bride.

an old-fashioned, long -barreled Ger

thing like long range they had to push
up the sights, and they became very ex-
pert at judging distance for drop shots.
Their skill in that particular gave them
great advantage over noted English

tremendous reputation as marksmen.
