The clergy of Pembina county have
united in the adoption of resolution
asking for stricter enforcement of the
law regarding the observance of Sun
day. Specific mention among other VIC
lation is made of harvesting and thresh-
ing on Sunday. In this particular We
are unable to follow their Interpretation
of the Law. The need and fitness of OBJ
serving Sunday as day of rest should
appeal as reasonable to everyone. as
does the laying aside until the day
following of all unnecessary labor. But
this year in particular we cannot agree
with the gentlemen in their request for
strict compliance with q Law that
forbids the saving of a crop from
destruction by the elements on one day
in the week more than another. Indi-
vidual ideas doubtless prevail regarding
the question. but it is one in which the
conscience of each can very properly be
allowed to dictate as to conduct better
than legal regulation. )

local dealer will handle as much aud
possibly more money than in any other
year since coming to North Dakota.
The injury done to the wheat crop this
year is mainly in the nature OF a shriv-
cling of the grain that makes the crop
short in weight and in quantity. There
will be less wheat per acre where the
rust and the rain got in their deadly
work. and the wheat will be OF lower
grade. Suppose farmer has harvested
ten bushels of good wheat per acre from
100 acres in years past and sold 1t at 50
cents in the central market. His wheat

The republican maiority II the Yer
mont election held last Tuesday Vas the
largest since 1886, being over $1,000.
Every time in the pest seven presiden-

The result in Vermont is not sur
prisine. in view Of the unparalleled
efforts made by the republicans and
the quiet campaign conducted by the
democrats. The administration CON

urgent appeals to the republican farmers
to go to the polls. Moreover, it was
proclaimed Throughout. the state that
the president had promised the candi-
date for governor to attend his inaueura-
ton in case he obtained majority Of
10000. In view of these efforts. never
made before by any party in Sep
TENDER election. it is remarkable that
the administration did not succeed in
increasing the republican majority. In
deed. it did not even increase the re-
publican vote. That does not exceed
$1,000. while in 1895 it was 1926. and
in 1860 was 4s.i41.

A GOOD PAYING CROP.

We believe that in point Of actual cash
receipts the farmers of Cavalier county
are going TO be better off this season
than for many years before. This state.
ment may appear somewhat startling to
those who have adjusted their point of
view to the falling off in yield and in
jury to grade owing to the damp
weather. They have lost sight of the
price. where the grade of wheat, even as
low as rejected. is finding market at
eighty cents bushel. The rust scare,
and ofcourse it is admitted there was
some, has subsidized and business condi-
tions generally, are adapting themselves

He says that although the yield in the
eastern part of the state is poorer thar
usual the crop in the western part i:
excellent and the average will equal
last year. The wheat crop west Of
jamestown has averaged from eight tc
thirty bushels to the acre. This is bet.
ter than the average. In the eastern
section. especially along the Red river
rust caused great damage. and the
yield will be below the average

The Fargo agricultural college expert
estimates the wheat crop of North Da-
kota this year as averaging from nine to
thirteen bushels per acre. His figures
are based on the entire acreage of the
state which is considerably larger than
for many years past. Prof. Bolley has
in the past month practically visited
every section of the state and is in a
position to give fairly correct estimate.

yield and market price. AS result
many sowed their fax acreage of a

Instead of fax selling at below the dol

Russians Are Preparing a Strong
Position on Both Sides
Of LiaO River.
Main Portion of Jap Army Not
Yet Ready to Resume
The Advance.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED.

Field Marshal Oyama reports to To
lilo that considerable Russian force
remains south of the Hun river, while
General kurOpatkin telegraphs to St.
Petersburg that the balance of the
japanese force is still south of the
Yentai branch railroad. Oyama also
says that the Russians are fortifying
the heights on both sides OF the Lao
river at Tie pass. Beyond this the
days dispatches from the seat of war
relate to details Of previous fighting
and no light is thrown upon the all
absorbing question of where the next
engagement in force will occur.
General KurOpatkin's estimate of his
losses in the fighting around LiaOyang
are far under the first reports. He re-
ports that from Aug. 20 to Sept. 5 he
lost 4,0OO killed and 10000 wounded
Marshal Oyama placed the total Of
Japanese casualties at 1880, making
the total for both armies in round
numbers $4,000. Accepting these fig
ures as correct the battle Of Liaoyang
in killed and wounded falls much
lower in the scale Of the worlds great
battles

MAY BE
DISARMED
Reasonably Certain That Russian
Transport Will Stay At
San Francisco.
Vessel Can Be Put In SeaWOrthy
Shape, However, Inside
Of Thirty Days.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 15.-It
seems reasonably certain that the Rus
sian transport Lena will be dismantled
and ordered to remain where she is
now until the conclusion of the Russo.
Japanese war, but final decision on
that point may not be reached for a
day Or two. A possibility exists that
she may be ordered to depart after
making urgent repairs, but it is only
possibility.
The report of the inspector of boilers
and hulls, which was referred by the
department Of commerce and labor to
the state and navy departments, is sub
stantially as follows:
The boilers and engines are both
badly in need of repairs. To put in
new boilers will require from four to
six months The tubes of the boilers
are badly pitted, but the Lena has on
board 200 additional tubes which could
be put in in a short time and the in
spector says that the vessel can be put
in a seaWOrthy condition in from
twenty to thirty days and repaired so
that she will be able to make about
eight knots.
This is regarded by officials of the
navy department as entirely within
the term reasonable time used in the
presidents proclamation. The state
department is now awaiting the de-
tailed report of Admiral Goodrich be-
fore taking further action.

at Port Arthur.
st. Petersburg, Sept 15.-General
Stoessel, commander of the Russian
military forces at Port Arthur, under
, the dates of Aug. 2S and Sept. 2, re-
ports that renewed Japanese attacks
on the fortress were repulsed with
s1nall loss to the defenders.
General Stoessels first dispatch,
dated Aug. %, says:
Il am happy to report to your maj
esty that at o'clock on the morning
of Aug. 27, during violent rain and
thunder storm, the Japanese again at
tempted to capture our left flank posi-
tions near No. l fort and Udan noun
tain. Their attack was everywhere re-
pulsed. Our losses were small-3 killed
and 2 officers and 50 men wounded. A
number OF Japanese cOrpSeS would
have been picked up by us but the
enemy prevented us from so doing by
opening fire on the hospital attendants
who had been sent out under the Red
Cross flag"
Another dispatch from General StOes-
sci TO the emperor, dated Sept. 2, says:
"On the night of Sept 1 the enemy
attacked VisOkaya and Dlinnaya noun
tains and the neighboring fortifca-
tiOnS, opening simultaneously an ar
tillery fire on the forts and mountains.
The leading files of the enemy, with
the Japanese columns following them,
were discovered in good time and our
batteries opened on them. The lead
ing files fortunately encountered some
automatic mines and many of the en-
envy were blown in the air The at
tack was repulsed in an hour. Our
losses were able-one officer
and seven men wounded"

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Admiral Walker Discusses Building o1
Panama Canal

Panama Canal.
New York, Sept. 15.-Rear Admiral
Walker, the head of the Panama COM
nilsson, declared during the day, on
his arrival from Colon, that the United
States government intended to keep
the two open ports in the canal zone
IN spite of any protests which might
be made by the Panama government.
He added that he did not anticipate
any trouble over the making OF Ancon,
on the Panama side of the isthmus,
and Cristobal, near Colon, free ports
of entry.
THE unfortunate part of the affair."
he said, lis that it has got into local
politics. OF course the outs have to
protest against what has been done
by the ms.
Admiral Walker said that the work
OF excavation was now proceeding
twice as fast and with less men and
at half the cost as under the French
company. Health conditions he de-
clared, were excellent and the canal
construction work was being rapidly
systematized. He declared that state
ments which have found their way
into the press relating to political ex-
citement in Panama were greatly exag-
gerated. Everything at present seems
to be quiet and satisfactory to the
people of Panama.
