SHIP COMBINE NOT COMPLETE.
J. Pierpont Morgan May Not Purchase
White Star Line.

London, Sept. 20.-There appears to
be still some doubt in Liverpool as to
whether ]. Pierpont Morgan will COM
plete the purchase OF the White Star
line for the Atlantic Shipping Company.
The Liverpool Post says:
I'VE have reason TO believe that, con-
trary to popular opinion, the last thing
in the world Mr.. Morgan desires or In
tends is to become owner of an Atlantic
fleet. His more modest ambition is to
be an honest broker who, for consid-
GRAFTON, buys a fleet from one company
and sells it to another Mr.. Morgan up
to the present has apparently failed to
discover where this consideration is
coming In. The money market is
against him and the English market is
closed to him, for English investors will
not touch his shipping paper at any
price, and apparently it is doubtful
whether the American investor will
come to his rescue. Hence the delay
and Mr.. Morgans readiness to sacrifice
100000 weekly, which is the amount of
interest upon the purchase price Mr..
Morgan has agreed to pay until the
purchase is completed rather than take
the risk of being loaded with all the
unapporopriated paper of the combine"
Nevertheless. the Post is inclined to
think the purchase will be completed.

THE DUCKS ARE FLYING.
Green Wing Teal and Wood Ducks on
the Mississippi.

Special to Times-Republican.
Muscatine Sept. 20.-It is said by the
local sportsmen that the ducks are ar
irving some earlier than usual. Not
withstanding the fact that fall shoot
ing generally comes later in the season,
there are at present quite a number OF
green wing teal along the streams in
the low lands. There are also few
wood ducks, but 1t seems that they are
not rs plentiful as in years past. The
latter remain in this locality and match
their young during the summer. They
are generally large enough to make
good eating by the middle or later part
of August. The young ducks are not
so wild and consequently are easier to
kill than the old ones There were
very few young wood ducks brought In
very few young wood ducks brought
into market this year.
The green wing are generally the
first ducks that come here In the fall.
There seems to be several ideas regard
ing the early coming of the ducks this
fall, some believe it is due to the cool
summer wlrile others claim 1T is indie
ative Of winter.

Nearly 1900 Less in Minnesota Than
Year Ago.

dogs in Minnesota, according to the
assessment rolls of the county auditors
being reviewed by the state board of

bers of the state board suspect that
some of the dogs took to the woods
when the assessor was around.
The dog tax law of a years standing,
which provided a fund to pay for sheep
killed by dogs, was repealed at the
extra session OF the legislature, SO this
year dogs We're assessed as personal
property as heretofore The state board
Of equalization fixed the value of dogs
lat SIS each, and counties that had valued
them lower were raised. Benton. Rico
and Stearns counties had assessed dogs
at 81 apiece.
Thirty-three Of the counties have
less than 1000 dogs each, and Ramsey
is one of the thirty three. The returns
to the state board show that Ramsey
county has 7SS dogs, compared with
SO4 year ago. Hennepin county has
3,6OS dogs, compared with 1928 year
Iagc.
Otter Tail county is the banner dog
county and has $500 dogs, compared
with 3,S7S a year ago. Lyon county
has the smallest number Of dogs of
any county in the state, according to
the returns. This year there are only
% dogs in the county. but last year
there We're 1854.
Lake county has 65 dogs, more than
last year. and Cook county has 81 dogs
II less than last year. Both counties
are sparsely settled. Renville county
mas 1,511 dogs, compared with 2,717 last
