ouTHRie AND THE BUILDINGS
BILL

BILL
The editor OF the Enid Wave Is
nursing q choice lot Of hostile deiu-
sions. He has fretted himself into
believing that Guthrie IS secretly plug
gine public buildings legislation.
Speaking Of the buildings bin, the
wave says
1T Is quite evident that neither Ok
lahoma City or Guthrie desire the pub
lie building appropriation bin TO be-
come a law Oklahoma City IS fight
ing it openly. and Guthrie secretly or
in an Indirect way. Tho facts Of the
case are that both the towns mention
ed, dont desire the public buildings
located until such a time as the loca-
ti00 o. the capital comes up An
article appeared In the Guthrie Leader

culated to stir up politica, prejudice

well known ear marks Of the editor OF
The Leader are in full bloom in the
whole article. Each Of the avowed
capital candidates desire the location
OF the public buildings TO trade on in
a fight for the permanent capital. bu:
in the meantime the territory Is
squandering thousands Of dollars In
the transportation and keeping Of the
convicts and the insane. When Okla

stitution adopted win, no doubt, pro

Il win be done BY the votes Of the
people, Renee, pttie trading theory Of

The Wave makes nagelett out Of
z willow The public buildings bill Is
not Guthrie's fight and Guthrie is not
ciandestinely wording for or against
the measure. Guthrie has the friend

is much about this buildings legisla-
tion that Is not good, yet to remedy the
defects Of the measure would mean
the death OF whole bill. The Leader
long since stated its position touching
public buildings legislation and the
Wave utilizes a choice variety OF hot
air in presuming that this paper seeks
to cover up its real feeling, by anony-
nous communications. The com

No person who does not believe in

IN addition to providing for a great
trust which shall monopollze all the
branches Of the business enumerated
in the bill, the numerous loop holes in
the bill are sufficient to allow It to

WAGE WAR ON SMALLPOX
HEALTH OFFICERS TO MEET AT
DULUTH NEXT WEEK
Precautionary Measures to Be De-
vised Against Spread of the
Disease in Lumber
~ Camps.

Extensive arrangements are being
made for the conference of the local
health officers of this state, Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan, to be held Aug.
IS at the Spaulding hotel, Duluth The
purpose of the meeting, as has. already
been set forth at some length in the
G o b e, is to formulate plans for sys-
tematic and concerted action to prevent
the spread of smallpox in this region,
particularly among the lumber camps,
during the coming winter. This question
is one in which the railroad men and
loggers are naturally interested, and it
is expected that there will be large
representation of those classes as well
as medical men.
1t is understood that the health officers
and medical men generally will favor the
destruction by fire of all lumber camps
where the disease has existed as the
surest way Of preventing further trouble.
The owners of camps, however will pre-
sumably contend that such radical meas
ures are not necessary, and some friction
on that point is to be expected.
Another precaution which is regarded
as important is the prevention of ship
ment of camp furnishings and equip
ment, from camps where the disease has
existed Recently a shipment was
made to West Superior from a camp at
Stony Brook, where smallpox existed last
winter, and the fact aroused great in
dignation when it became known. BY
that time, however, the goods had been
hauled through the streets of the city in
open wagons and possibly large num-
Der of persons had been exposed to dan
ger. The goods were taken to an iso-
lated warehouse and thoroughly fumi-
gated, but the railroad company was Sc
verely censured for having brought them
to the city.

GREETED BY CARRIERS
POSTMASTER OF ST. LOUIS PAYS A
VISIT TO ST. PAUL.

f. w. Barnnhoff, postmaster of st.
Louis, arrived in st. Paul last evening
on the steamer Quincy, and he and his
party are registered at the Clarendon.
Postmaster Barnnhoff is accompanied by
his wife, three boys, nephew and sew
eral officials connected with his office
and they are here on pleasure trip ex-
pecting to remain in ST. Paul for about
a week
Those directly accompanying Mr.
Barnnhof are S. j. Hauschulte, super
intendent if the money order depart
ment; julius Erickson, assistant cashier,
and r. ]. O'Connell, superintendent Of
the stamped envelope and postal supply
division. The party left st. Louis last

cool trip all the way UP the river, the
boat being crowded with excursionists.
When the Quincy reached her dock yes
terday afternoon Postmaster Barnnhoff
and party were met by delegation of
carriers from the St. Paul Office, who
escorted them to the hotel.
Mr.. Barnnhoff, who is still a young
man, has been in the service in St.
Louis for twenty-one years, and has
worked his way UP from a carrier. On
the way up Mr.. Barnnhoff was given
series of ovations by the postoff1ce en-
ployes al all of the landings.

TO RAISE LAKES LEVEL
WHITE BEAR RESIDENTS PROPOSE
TO TAP PINE TREE LAKE.

At meeting of the White
Bear Lake Improvement associa-
ton which was held yesterday, plans
were submitted, showing that large
amount of water could be secured from
Pine Tree lake, and that in this way a
good stage of water could be secured all
the time The county surveyor made a
report to this effect, and after some dis
of a conference committee which will re-
port in two weeks.
AS it is, some progress has been made,
as the residents of Dellwood have grant
ed right of way for the installing of a
fume between Pine Tree lake and White
Bear
that the residents of Bald Eagle lake
were opposed to the scheme of White
Bear getting water from the source
that Bald Eagle gets most of it's water
from Fish lake, and on that account
the objections had no real foundation in
fact.
The conference committee which will
see the disaffected Bald Eagle residents
is composed of c. T. Noyes, w. B. Dean,
A. M. Lawton, H. T. Drake, j. Gold
smith, W. P. Jewett Dr. C. Frye, A. j.
WampIer, M q. Kost and ]. e. Jensen.
The association reported having secured
deeds for the public property necessary
for the boulevarding near Dellwood, and
this will give a dedicated thoroughfare
along the entire north shore of the lake
The question of securing a dredge was
discussed, but nothing definite was done.

CUTTING THE WHEAT
WILL BE SATISFAC-
TORY
DAMAGE HAS BEEN SMALL
Dakota and the West Send I'm En-
cOuraging RepOrts-A Banner
Yield in CoOperstOn
District.

Reports received by the Northern Pa
cific railway from points along it's line
indicate that harvesting is general
throughout Minnesota and that east or
Perham, most of the wheat, barley and
rye have been cut. The wheat Is
described as being of good quality and
in most places the yield runs from fifteen
to twenty-five bushels per acre. The
yield of barley and rye is reported to be
particularly heavy From Perham to
Moorhead half the grain has been cut
but tnreshing has not yet commenced.
The recent showers have done the max
much good and corn, too, has improved
so greatly that good yields of both are
confidently predicted.
In the st. Paul & Duluth division the
grain has been cut and stacked and
threshing is to commence ia few days.
Corn and potatoes are reported to be
doing well, and all the haying has been
finished.
In the Dakotas the returns are almost
as favorable and with continuance of
the present weather corn and flax are
expected to furnish average yields. IN
most of the localities some damage to the
wheat is mentioned, but on the whole the
harvest is described as being up to ex-
pectat IONS. Places at which three weeks
ago there appeared to be absolutely no
chance for harvest of fax are said to
be expecting yields of from seven to ten
bushels per acre. One field of oats
threshed near Fargo yielded sixty-eight
bushels to the acre.
On the Cooperston branch some farmers
have begun to cut grain, and harvesting
will be general next week. All grains
are in perfect condition, the heads being
! large and we'll filled; very heavy crop
is expected. Flax has greatly improved,
and the crop is now considered good
one. Some fields are turning brown.
On the Jameston and Northern branch
all grains are ripening rapidly and pros
! poets are still favorable for a banner
yield in all kinds of grains. Reports from
the flax districts are to the effect that
a heavy yield is assured. The harvesting
of oats and barley will begin in a few
! days.
From Montana the reports are that
! crops of all kinds seem to be doing as
well as was expected; harvesting has
! commenced in some places, but is not
| general. A second crop of alfalfa is being
| cut
! In Idaho, Washington and Oregon har-
! vesting is general and the yield is large
! in every kind of grain. 1t will not quite
come up to the expectations of spring,
! but is still good enough to amply satisfy
all the farmers in the districts.
