DEWEY'S FLAGSHIP

Olympia Bears Deep Wounds and Is
Dry Docked at Norfolk.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 10.-With two
long, deep burrows extending along
both sides of the underbody and large
stream of water gushing from crush
ed plate beneath the engine room, the
cruiser Olympia is resting tonight in
the dry dock of the Norfolk navy yard.
The work of docking was a delicate
task owing to the injuries the ship sus-
tanned when it ran on ledge of rock
off Portland, Me-, during the recent ma
val maneuverS. Along the starboard
side of the vessels bottom for a dis
lance of ninety-six feet there extends
an indentation two and half inches
deep. On the port bottom, a distance
of forty-five feet, the plates are dent
ed to a depth of four and a half inches
and many are buckled. Beneath the
engine room there is broken seam
and from this the contents of the wa
tertight compartments that saved the
vessel from sinking on the trip down
the coast rushed in a steady stream all
day. New plates will probably have to be
placed along the damaged part of the
Olympia on both sides of the bottom.

FIRE IN WAGON SHOP
Blaze Damages Mitsch Carriage
Works to Extent of $4,000.

A stubborn fire started in the fac

ing, are of wood, and it was feared that
they would all go.
To the west is a low two-story frame
building, occupied by the Twin City
Musical Instrument company Over
the shop Mrs. Crap and daughter had
rooms. They were both taken out and
lodged across the street until the dan

smoke caused panic among the lodg-

The building on which the wagon
factory stood was recently purchased
from the Mitsch estate by Lorenz
Mitsch, one of the heirs, and Charles
Heck, who at present compose the
wagon company. Neither of them
could be reached last evening.

CROOKSTON, Mimi, Sept. 10.-The
outlook for a good wheat crop in the Red
River valley grows brighter with every
acre threshed. The yield is much greater
than was expected. A careful investiga-
ton by a local wholesale firm which sends
travelling men into every town and ham
let in the valley once each week, results
in a belief that an estimate of sixteen
bushels per acre for the entire valley
IS conservative. Innumerable reports have
been received which Indicate that thirty
bushels is not out of the ordinary. Very
little damage has resulted from the late
rains. The precipitation was nearly two
and one-quarter inches for the valley, and
yet the cool weather following has pre-
vented any damage to speak of, while it
has helped the pastures and leaves the
ground in fine condition for blowing.
The yield of oats in the valley will be
very large this year. The increase in the
acreage of oats and barley largely rep
resents the falling off in the acreage of
wheat The conditions which prevail in
the valley this fall will be of the best
Crops are good, the best in seven years,

SPEAKING OF RECIPROCITY.
Eugene Foss Says IT Is Important That
We Have Treaty With Canada.


DETROIT, Mich, Sept 10-Eugene N.
Foss, of Boston, leader of the Canadian
reciprocity movement, who was the
guest of the chamber of commerce today,
had the following to say:
New England, like the Middle West,
is alive on the reciprocity issue and it only
reassembling of, the joint high commits
sion to bring the reciprocity sentiment to
the front. Canada is by no means unani-
nous for reciprocity and just now she is
absorbed in the consideration of her great
railroad struggle. Nevertheless, am sure
that neither the government nor sane
majority of the people has been led astray
by the Chamberlain proposal. In fact,
Mr. Chamberlains plan is only an extern
sion of the plan which we advocate. He
believes in reciprocity with the colonies
and so do we, and whether or not he sue
ceeds in converting his own countrymen
to his scheme, it is just as important that
the United States should make reci-
procity treaty with Canada as it was be-
fore"
