Freaks of a PHOTOGRAPH

which at the time the picture was
taken showed nothing but portion of
the shade and the outline of the lace

plate home and after he had DEVELOPED
the picture he discovered some gro
tesque outlines of what seems to be
faces or masks in the window. One of
them represents the face of an old man
with long white beard, and in the
taking of the picture with it's queer
revelation is a strange coincidence, as
at that time there was Rip Van

they were produced by some queer
phenomenon is no doubt true, but the
question is how?

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN.

Weather and Crop Conditions in Mime
sofa for the Week Ending Aug.11
The week has been a cool one: on the
morning of the 18th the temperatures
were much lower than usual at this
season, and frosts were reported at
Campbell, with minimum tempera-
ture of 40 degrees, and at Park Rapids.
with minimum of 80 degrees. There
was very little rain during the week

the 9Th, and the general rains on the
9th; the rains of the 9th were locally
heavy in portions of the South. Most

ern part of the State, and their cutting
is we'll advanced in the central por-
tions. In the Red River valley the
harvesting of spring wheat, oats and
barley is begun, but the ripening of
these crops is very uneven, and though
harvest will be general in Kittson coun-
ty about the 18th, there are portions of
the valley in which it will be much
later than that date. Flax harvest is
progressing nicely, and in the south
east it is nearly finished. Where har-
vest is finished, or nearly finished,
stacking is we'll advanced, and some
thrashing has been done from the
shock. The small grains are generally
in excellent condition, but there are
some complaints of thin stands of wheat
and the effects of the Hessian fly in
south central and southwestern coun-
ties. There are many fields in which
wheat and oats were so lodged and
tangled by local winds as to make them
difficult to harvest. Corn continues to
grow splendidly, Notwithstanding the
cool weather; the crop is later than
usual. The early potato crop is good
one, and it is being gathered, or it is
ready to gather; in a few places rotting
in the ground has set in. Timothy
seed is being secured. Wild hay is be-
ing cut in northern portions.

WHAT OF THE CROPS.

The Harvest to Tell the Story--Oats Fine,
While Wheat is Only Fair--Corn Back
ward--Potatoes Good.
The harvest season is we'll on and
the ripening fields will soon tell the
story. The season has been on the
whole good one, and conditions have
been all that could be desired, with
the exception of the weather for corn
which has been too cool for the rapid
growth and maturing of the cereal.
The early part of the season was too
cool and wet for ideal conditions for
corn, but July brought some good corn
days and the crop made fair Roadway.
The weather has not however, been
hot enough of late for much progress,
and the corn crop as whole is from
two to three weeks late. This fact
with the present cool weather does not
make a very encouraging prospect
for good corn crop, and what corn
natures will be small. There are
fields around Princeton that are in
good shape, however, but they are not
the rule. Wheat has done as we'll as
could be desired, and has been dam
aged by rust and chinch bugs in many
places. The crop is generally reported
as under the average, but it will take
the threshers to tell the story. The
oat crop is said to be the best that was
ever raised in this section. The yield
will be heavy one, and of good quail
ity. The potato crop bids fair to be a
good heavy one. The outlook last week
before the storm was not the best for
late potatoes, as farmers said that the
ground was getting too dry, and even
corn was beginning to suffer. The
crop of early potatoes is good and
much larger than last year. Present
conditions point to good crop of late
spuds. The increased acreage over
last year will be all the way from one
quarter to one-third ever the acreage
of last year. With larger yield which
indications point to, the potato raisers
will get enough money from their crop
to keep the wolf from the door, at
least. The early potato market starts
at twenty cents. This is not a very
big price, but with good yield pota-
toes at this price are much better than
small grains, though this is no argu-
ment why farmers should not raise
approaches in all probability the po-
tato market will stiffen up. But if the
potato raiser realizes twenty-five cents
on an average for his spuds this season
as conditions this year in other parts
OF the country are far from being the
same as last year.

POTATO MARKET OPENS.

The Princeton Potato Market Opens Last
Monday-C. III. Rines s. Co. Buying.
The local potato market opened last
Monday, but the receipts were very
light, only few loads arriving. Mrs.
Blair of Greenbush was the first per-
son to market spuds, but only brought
in small load. Henry Newbert fol-
lowed with small load, and the first
man to arrive with good big load
was Louis Robideau who brought in a
load of good looking Triumphs. There
were ITO bushels received Monday.
The price paid for potatoes was 20
cents. A year ago they were selling
for four times this amount. There
will not be much traffic in potatoes un-
til the first of September, when buyers
will start in at most all points in the
potato belt. A few potatoes are being
bought over on the ''Bee Line'' at
Grandy and at Isanti, and last week
the price paid was II cents.
The season will not open as early
this year owing to the fact that the
eastern and southern markets are at
present overstocked. It is said that
at St. Louis the market will not be
cleaned up of southern stock until the
first OF October. Potatoes are selling
in the southern markets for 10 to 20
cents, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and other states supplying
the markets with all kinds of spuds.

Hadfield had been working hard on the track of late, and his second wind stood him ill good stead.
