Fine Outlook in North Dakota.

Reports from correspondents along
the Northern Pacific main line and
branches in North Dakota state that
the grain is almost completely free
from smut, rust and Injurious weeds.
The COW counties west Of the mis-
souri, river will have good grain crops
this year, as we'll as hay and vegetable
yields.
The little ground that has been
broken near Dickinson is giving prom
Use OF a bounteous yield. Wheat is
just heading out exhibiting fine,
plump ears. The wheat that has been
sown is expected to yield from twenty
to thirty bushels per acre,
At Taylor all vegetation is in a most.
promising condition. The dry spell
did not lnJure in the least the heavy
growth OF crops planted on the new
soil. Oats are tall, straight and
plump.
At Richardton potatoes and corn,
wheat and oats are fine crops.
AT Mandan the small acreage of
grain for experimental reasons is
proving decidek success.
Vegetation is very luxuriant at
Steele, Dawson, Tappen, Medina and
Windsor. Along the lowlands hay
makers are gathering hay and there is
plenty of it.
From jamestown to Valley CITY con-
tlnulng upwards through the James
River Valley wheat is giving every
promise OF the thirty bushels mark in
some fields, While fax, oats and other
vegetation is outgrowing the expecta-
tlons OF the most optimistic,
Oriska, Tower City and Buffalo mark
the gradual blending of the proverbial
productiveness of the Red River with
the west.
A feature OF this years crop is the
almost universal absence of mustard,
Russian thistle and other noyious
weeds that flourish in dry seasons.
Ihe whole prairie is green and beau
tltul to look at. Wheat is thick and
tall and is turning a light yellow.
Some oats and barley fields, harvested,
make bright yellow patches in the
prevailing landscape Of green Cattle
are fat and sleek and there are signs
OF busy and prosperous year on every
farm. There will be for many farmers
practically two years crops in one,
this season, and the pinching of last
years shortage will be soon forgotten.
1t VIII be a very small farmer who
will not have from 1000 to 1000 BUSH
els Of grain this year, and many will
have yields up in the 10 800. When
nature is lavish in North Dakota she
makes up in a short time for a great
many deficiencies.

Fine Crops.

"Crops are fine in the northwestern
portion of the state" said Rev. III. j.
Sheridan, who has returned after a
four weeks trip through that section.
''Near Williston considerable grain is
raised by irrigation. Two sections Of
oats will yield at least so bushels per
acre, according to the estimate Of the
owner. In church work satisfactory
progress is being made. A new Epis-
copal church is nearly completed at
Minot. The frame of another one is
up in Towner, and a church will be
built at Rugby"

STORM ON SPIRITWOOD LAKE
Sunday Visitors to lake Enjoy a
View of a Tornado on the
Lake.

Sunday afternoon a heavy rain fell
at Spiritwood lake. The rain was fol-
lowed by a heavy wind from the north.
east-about the worst that has ever
been witnessed at the Lakeland those
who were there considered themselves
exceedingly fortunate in being privi-
legged to witness the unusual sight.
The wind blew with the velocity OF a
tornado. Waves six feet and more in
height broke on the shore, and roar
quite like that Of the ocean could be
heard during the storm. The anchor
on Wallace's gasoline boat failed to
hold the boat and it drifted steadily
southwest with anchor dragging. AS
the boat drifted along it seemed GER
tain that it would be capsized. For
.tunately as the boat neared the west
shore the anchor caught and the boat
escaped being dashed on the rocks.
A small rowboat anchored in the
shallow water at LaBrasche's landing
lasted ABOUT a minute after the storm
began getting good. 1t is believed
that it was the same storm that
struck Tappen and Dawson. No one
was out on the lake and the damage
resulting from the storm will be light.
Some of the heavy grain was swamped
in places but will soon straighten up
again.
John Bolinger has moved his cot
tage to point west Of it's former loca-
tion. It is now on the La aBrasche por-
tion OF the lake front instead Of the
G.. A. r. grounds, leased by George
Kurtz. Mr.. Bolinger has placed the
cottage in the edge Of the lake. 1t is
on piles which have been covered
around with stonework to prevent
injury when the lake breaks up in the
spring.
Mrs. Chas. Hibbs of jamestown and
Miss Mabel Irgens of Valley City are
among those who are at the lake.
Charley joins the party this week. He
has fine new sail boat to launch.
There are all kinds Of chances for
argument as to the best road to the
lake from Jamestown, and about the
only conclusion to bearrived at is that
the best is not any too good since the
rains.
Editor Billy Stevens Of Wimbledon
spent Sunday at the lake and caught
a few fine fish.
@. f. Prussian Of Fountain City,
Wis, spent Sunday at the lake. He
is hardware merchant and is visit
ing the Messrs. Joos and others in the
county. He spent Friday in James
town. He thinks this state is all
right but believes that farmers would
do well to devote more time to cattle
raising, the making of butter and
cheese, and not depend on the raising
Of crop every year.
A dance was given on the Birks'
pavilion on the old Henry Porter place
Saturday evening, and was greatly
enjoyed. A dance will be given next
Saturday evening in the same place.

Grain is Lodged.

The heavy rains of Sunday lodged
grain in different por-
tions of the state and some fears of
injury are expressed. In a few in
stances it may be necessary to cut
grain one way. The percentage OF in
Jury is not great, however.

He stated that he found the orchards
in the lower part Of the county In excel

Castle and Glenwood, the coddling moth
is creating great havoc.
Concer ming this years output. Mr..
Purtee was very enthusiastic. He said
that q reasonable estimate would be
forty Thousand boxes. This, he said, is
considerably less than last year. but the
quality Of the crop this year far sxcsls
that OF last year and as there is a search
ty OF Colorado fruit this year that which
is produced will bring higher prices.

THE dismissal prevents any appeal as

vent any further action by these parties

many that the suit was brought in the
hope of getting money settlement for

The Extra Session Question.

J. W. Ong, representative OF Mesa
county, was in Glenwood yesterday.
When seen by an Avalanche reporter,
concerning the matter OF an extra SEES
sion, Judge Ong stated that he full,
agreed with the sentiments expressed iD
the letter of Senator Taylor to Cover
nor Orman on the subj.ct, the gist Of
which was recently published In the
Avalanche.
Like Senator Taylor he believes that
il the revenue law is unconstitutional,
the TACT should be established at the
earliest moment, and to that end the
hearing of the appeal by the supreme
court should be hastened as much as
possible. Then il the measure is found
to be unconstitutional, an extra session
OF the legislature should be called with
out delay. The measure should be re-
passed as it stands, which could be done
in few days.
Senator Taylor has received number
OF letters indorsing the stand he has
taken upon the question. Glenwood
