Jamestown, N D., Aug. To- The
Fargo Commercial Club Special pull
ed in here from LaMonre exactly at
IS: 80 p. m. and was welcomed By a
large concourse of business men and
citizens, among whom were a number
Bof sinartly dressed ladies. Just out
side the depot the City Band of James
town played inspiring martial airs while
tile Fargo captains of busines were be-
ing greeted by their fellows of James
town, The very cordial reception ex-
tended the visitors here was highly ap-
|preciated and there was great dis
play of enthusiasm on all sides. After
the long, hot ride from Fargo the rest
here was appreciated.
The first to jump in carriage and
drive away into the country, as far as
the stay allotted here, would allow, was
James Holes, who all along the road
from Fargo has been most assiduous in
his study of the very much discussed
trust question.
At every point where the speIsl
stopped there we're reports of rusted
wheat, to a lesser or greater extent --tne
hard wheat suffering the most Gefl-
|erally inacaroni wheat is escaping the
dreaded disease, so is blue stem. Fife
wheat everywhere is suffering. Not
withstanding the rust reports there are
|quite large number Of optirnists in
|every town who believe that when the
story Of the threshers is told few
weeks later, it will be a different story
Ito what some people expect now.
Farmers, all of them, seemed to have
framed up great expectancies this year
land they are very sensitive. If the
returns show them fair av-
|erage crop they will be agreeably sur
|prised.
i Circumstances obliged the stop, at
1.-THE Stutsman County metropolis to be
somewhat curtailed. After tour of
the business houses and the making of
[sofne personal calls the visitors were
escorted to the rooms of the James
town Commercial Club. After assem-
