GRAND FORKS. N. D., July 2s.-Late re-

Damage was done in Pembina, Walsh,

impossible to give an accurate estimate Of
the damage. Damage by wind and lightning
is considerable. The section which appears
to have suffered most is that In a belt

COMBINE THE OIL INTERESTS
London Daily Mail Asserts the Three
Monster Companies Have Made
an Agreement.

LONDON, July So.--In It's issue Of this
morning the Daily Mail asserts there is
no longer any doubt that the three monster
oil interests OF Rockefeller, Rothschild and
Nobel have entered into a working agree
ment.
Thus" says the paper, without any pub
liclty the greatest trust the world has
ever seen has sprung into being"
This combination, says the paper, has
been limited at In messages from Batoum
and Moscow and 1t has been more clearly
shown in the offers, made to Russian oil
exporters by representatives Of the Nobel
and Rothschlld interests for the absorp-
tion of the whole Of their output. The
exporters have been forbidden to sell
through the agencies Of these interests at
a price arranged by them or to fight the
combined forces Of the three oil giants.
This offer was made openly and with the
idea Of maintaining prices and It has been
refused, the Russian exporters preferring
to fight 1t was doubtless this combine,
continues the Daily Mail, which induced
the Russian government to issue invita-
tions to an antitrust conference. Spokes-
men of the antitrust combine declare 1t
means a tight to the death and that the
independent exporters cannot hope to win.
