SHORT In THE VALLEY
The U. P. Report Says the Drought
t: Hurt the Wheat Seri-
. Vs.. -..s ously. .

The crop report Of the Northern Pa
ciflc railroad. issued yesterday, reads as
follows:
In nearly ali parts Of the northwest except
the Red River valley, there has been great
improvement owing to the recent rains but
it is too late to overcome the effects Of the
drought in that district. and the rains of last
week were not as general thruout the valley
as lad bean thought. -
Wheat and oats in many places are begin
ming to head, altho only eight or ten inches
high, and along the jamestown branch farm
ers are blowing up their fields in readiness
for next years crop. Gophers have also done
considerable damage along this branch.
Flax looks fair thruout the Red River val
ley. The region about Red Lake Falls has
been visited by severe hail storms and crops
injured.
Along other portions of the line the outlook
is brighter, altho the wheat and oat crop will
be short. There will be good average yield
of other grains in Minnesota. The recent
rains did vast amount of good to corn and
potatoes, and the outlook is for a large yield
of both. Hay and rye cutting is about to
begin and the outlook is for an average crop.
In North Dakota there has been great i'm
provement since the recent rains, but wheat
will be short The reports from Montana,
Idaho and the far western states are en-
thusiastic.

SAYS BILL IS TOO HIGH
Reason the City Has Not Paid the
County for Heat and
=. .-> Light.

Hennepin county has not been paid for
the heat and light furnished to the city
of Minneapolis since Nov. Is last year be-
cause the city authorities believe the
charges excessive. The threat to shut off
heat and light Aug. 1 will have no effect.
If the county needs money the city coun-
Gil will advance $4,000 on account, but
the bills will not be approved until a
higher authority has so ordered.
Custodian Frank Gaylord of the city
hall thinks the county board has taken
the expense for heating and lighting the
county and city building and made out a
bill for one-half as the city's share. This
he does not think just. The county runs
three elevators while the city runs only
one and yet the city is called upon to
pay for half of the electricity used. Then
the county maintains the Jail, six large
cotr1s rooms and several jury rooms,
which the only offset Is the council cham
Der used twice a month. Moreover, when
the board OF tax levy met last fall Chair
man Sweet of the county board estim-
ated that the city's share of expense for
heating and lighting would be about IS, 600
and this amount was duly appropria ted.
The bills returned thus far aggregate
over $4,000 for six months.
The city demands arbitration of the
account.

MoCREERY IS RELEASED
Centerfelder's Indifferent Playing
Was Too Much for the Manage
ment-Sullivan Recalled.


Tom McCreery, center fielder Of the
Minneapolis baseball club, will receive his
release this evening.
Sullivan, who played the outfield for
Minneapolis last year. but has been per-
forming in the Northern league this sea-
son, has been recalled and was scheduled
to appear in center field this afternoon.
Sullivan was fast fielder last year, but
a weak batter. This year he has been
hitting more strongly and altho he will
hardly do as we'll with the stick as Nc
Creery. the management thought the
change advisable.
1t has been matter Of comment the
past week that McCreery has shirked on
hard flies in center. He is an able player
but it has become evident that he will
not play for Minneapolis.
There are runaors that Mccreery is a
trouble maker with the other men. This
the management would neither confirm nor
deny. President Johnston said he had a
great regard for McCreery personally, but
sentiment and baseball did not mix well.
It is understood that McCreery asked for
his release ten days ago.

being made out for $23.
One of the checks was passed on Olson
G. tJellman, saloonkeepjers at 10S Wash

clearinghouse yesterday. The -Germania,
oank, the pay bank, at once detected the
forgery and was on its guard.
Later In the afternoon, when Francis
presented another Locke check at the Ger

.INSUREs GOOD PAY
Threshing Machine Agents Inclined
to Approve Threshermen's
National Combine.
Heretofore Price Cutting Has Re
suited in the Foreclosure
Of Mortgages.

Managers Of the local branches OF the
large threshing machine manufacturers
are inclined to view with satisfaction the
activity Of the threshers' organization
known as the Threshermen's National
Protective association.
Reports from Buffalo Lake and other
parts of the state indicate that the thresh-
ers' combine is beginning to interest the
grain growing farmers to the extent Of
causing them to organize into mutual
companies" for the purpose Of buying
their own threshing machines and doing
their own threshing by sharing the ex-
pense of the original investment and the
actual work Of threshing
The T. N. P. A. is an organization con-
tanning about 20, 900 members, and pretty
we'll covering the grain-growing portions
of fifteen states, Minnesota among them.
The membership is limited to owners and
operators OF threshing machines, and the
avowed purpose Of the organiza ton. which
is secret one, with lodges, passwords.
etc., is to maintain the price for thresh-
ing grain. It is about three years old.
This combination for the maintenance
Of uniform price does not appear to
please the farmers, who are beginning to
fear extortion, and, to guard against this
evil, are planning the formation of mu-
tual threshing companies, much as they
have planned mutual creamery companies.
Local threshing- machine dealers, who
have had more or less success in getting;
their money for threshi.:g machines sold,
are inclined to believe that it Is better for
all parties concerned that the threshers
should organize in order to prevent the
cutting of prices. This insures that ma
chimes will be paid for. Inasmuch as the
T. N. P. A. has put the business on a
more reliable basis, the agents are not
inclined to view with special appreciation
the advent of another factor in the shap
of the farmers mutual. This is the SEN
timent Of the threshing- machine agents
In Minneapolis seen to-day. Another man
on Implement row, who does not hanule
threshing machines, shed a little light on
the subject by explaining:
when the average farmer buys q
threshing machine he gives a mortgage
on his farm for it. Then he starts out
to work. So do several Of his neighbors
perhaps. They begin to underbid each
other to get the business, and the result
is that in a season or so they go bump
and the threshing machine companies owr
the machines and the farms too That
is what the ttireshing machine com anies
want to avoid. They would rather see
the farmer make enough out Of his ma
chine to pay for it. The average threshel
is not a. very good business man and the
combination will probably insure bette,
tnreshing and better business conditions

FIRST GET YOUR BOARDS
Boat Building Instructions That
Lead a Youth Into Trouble.

''F1ow to Build a Boat,' was the title of
an article in boys book which led
Arthur Mills to crime. Arthur is II years
Of age. In the police court this morn
ing he was convicted of stealing lumber
from a new building at Fourteenth and
Spruce place and Judge Holt sentenced
him to thirty days In the workhouse but
placed him on probation for one year.
Young Mills told the court that he and
two companions had agreed to build a
sailboat in partnership. The lumber was
brought to the Mills residence by one
of the other boys. Work was begun on
the boat when Isaac R. Berry, the owner
of the lumber, appeared and said that the
boards had been stolen from one of his
new apartrnent- houses.

YOUR TAXES HIGH?
The Board Of Equalization Will Meet
Monday to Hear Com
plants.
It Is a Simple Process to Bring
Matters Before the
Board.

Next Monday the city board of equal
1zatlon will begin its annual work OF at
tempting to deal out even handed JUS
tice between all the taxpayers Of the
city in the matter Of personal property
assessnl ents.
The city board Of equalization is one of
the most important institutions of the
whole municipal government, and yet
it IS ignored by 80 per cent Of the tax
payers of the community. It Is the great
court before which any taxpayer has the
right to appear and make complaint of
wrongs inflicted upon him by the asses
sor's office. No red tape is required, no
lawyers, no money; no formality. The
citizen can go before the board to make
his roar" and the board must hear him.
Nearly all citizens who think they have
grievances try to tell their troubles to
County Treasurer Bell or his assistants,
and the best they get is smile Of pity.
for the treasurer can give them just as
much help as the man In the moon and
no more. Any person owning property
in this city Is subject to taxation. If
he or she has not met the deputy asses
sor and made a voluntary disclosure as
to the value Of this taxable property, it
is fair to assume that the assessor has
made an arbitrary assessment and re-
ported the same to the assessors office.
BY inquiry at the city assessors office
the amount of the assessment may be
obtained. If it Is deemed too high, the
aggrieved party may then appeal and
should apply for a blank upon which to
present the matter to the board of equal
ization. This document, when properly
signed entities the subscribing taxpayer
to appear before the board in person and
argue the case.
The place to kick is before the board
of equalization, and it is the only place.
The taxes may be high, but if the tax
payer secures justice from the board of
equalization he will at least know that
he Is paying no more than his neighbors.
The city board Of equalization is com
posed this year Of Aldermen S. E. Adams,
E. c. Chatfeld, c. B. Holmes, G. A. West
phal and A. S. Adams. It will meet as
often as may be necessary in the next
| Thrift days. probably every morning, as
long as there are any one who want to be
heard. City Assessor Minor is obliged by
law to attend every meeting of the board
and to have his books in readiness for in J.
spection and such changes a. may be Or
dered by the board.
This Years Collection
The personal property tax delinquent
episode for this year is ended. The var
method of collection inaugurated by Sheriff
J. W. Dreger and Chief Deputy Arthur l.
| Jones has been prolific of results and
| there is now in the county treasury as
direct result Of the last two months
| strenuous work on the part Of the sheriff
| force the sum Of $7,100. This is the largest
amount ever collected for one years delin-
quencies and much credit is due the Off
GERS who have endeavored to strictly en-
force the law. Everything is now rounded
up and the books are being closed as fast
| as possible.
