Prof. Bollev,s Estimate.

Prof. H. L. Bolley, connected with
the Agricultural college at Fargo. was
in Grand Forks for the purpose of esti-
mating yields from number OF sam
pies gathered in many sections OF the
state
In the collection there was some
good wheat, and much Of 1t was very
inferior. The late wheat is turning
out poorer than was expected and as
much of it is green there is no way OF
estimating the yield. The best wheat
in the state, Mr.. Bolley claims, lies
north of q line drawn from Lakota to
Minot.
Urged for an estimate on the entire
acreage of the state, Prof. Bolley ven
tured the assertion that it would go
from 9 to 10 bushels on an average,
basing the estimate on the wheat acre.
age, which is much larger this year
than for many years past.
Mr.. Bolley is in position to give
the crop the best possible estimate, as
he has visited practically every section
Of the state. and has without question
inspected more wheat than any expert
who has visited the state this year.

JEWISH MAKER OF GLOBES
Oweller in the Ghetto OF New York
Has . Curious and Interest
ing. Occupation.

In . tenement house in the Ghetto
lives q skilled Jewish globe maker,
whose handiwork finds Its way into
the homes OF his countrymen and the
museums Of the curlo-hunters uptown,
says the New York Post. The mapped
spheres Of manufacture are seen every.
where. but his globes are not Of this
ilk. The ball Of wood which is the
foundation is tenderly covered with
q papery substance until he thinks 1t
is thick enough. Wire painted bright
red or green Is strung through the
poles; wire also makes the axis. With
the aid Of instruments which have been
in his family for generations. he di.
vides the surface into hemispheres;
then the equator is designated; the
lines of latitude and longitude ode
painted in.
The maps which he uses are Inn.
ported from France, and come in nearly
hundred pieces. 1t requires the
greatest possible skill to fit them onto
the globe in exactly the right position.
But the old mans fingers have become
accustomed to the work. and he rarely
makes mistake. He does not seem
to be thinking Of his work, either, but
intones in an absent-minded way from
his beloved Talmud The fingers from
long rubbing and fitting are as sensi.
tive at the tips as those of q piano
player.
"Ah," he says to the writer, when
hold the globe that way know my
thumb will be in certain town in Rus.
STA, and my small finger in an island
In the Atlantic ocean IL these
things are not so, am sure the map
is incorrect"
For his own people and few Gus
toners he INDUCES in novelties such as
putting In moon, sun, and stars of diff
ferent metals. The bases Of the globes
are often Of picturesque character. One
was made Of different woods from
Jerusalem fashioned to represent the
steps of Solomon's temple; the sym.
bolism being that the globe rested
upon the foundation of the holy struc-
ture. Another had crudely painted
upon 1t. various scenes from the ay.
ings of the prophets with such lines as:
Say unto the cities Of judah. Behold
your God.''
"And the ransomed of the Lord shall re-
turn and come singing unto Zion."
Break forth into JOY, sing together. 70
waste places Of Jerusalem"
The old globe maker does not toll
by the hour; his work is his day dream
and fills all his waking moments. The
children of the tenement rush into his
humble abode to see him decorating
his spheres before they go to school in
the morning; at twilight they como
again when their tasks are over; they
gaze with wondering eyes as he pastes
on Asia. Europe, and Africa. late in the
evening. When they have grown too
tired. have kissed him goodnight. and
are fast asleep in their beds. he is still
making stars and moons or carefully
fitting together the tails Of recalcitrant
rivers that have become mixed up with
mountains, states. lakes. and oceans
having no relation whatever to them.

SOME POPULAR MAYORS.

But Unable to Rise to
Higher Office.

The late Samuel Jones. the Golden
Rule mayor Of Toledo, was regarded
as politically invincible in his homo
he was candidate in it.; but when
nominated for governor in 1899 he was
defeated, says the New York Sun.
William G. Maybury, of Detroit. the
most popular democratic mayor Of that
city, was elected for several terms
but when a candidate for governor Of
Michigan in 1900 he was defeated.
David S. Rose, of Milwaukee, was
repeatedly elected mayor, but when
nominated for governor of Wisconsin,
in 1902 on the democratic ticket he was
defeated by the present governor, Ia
Toilette. Carter H. Harrison, father Of
the present mayor of Chicago, was
generally regarded among politicians
as invincible at the polls, and it has
even been said of him that If his last
term had not been shortened by assas-
sination he might still be mayor of
Chicago. But on; ithe only OCCASION
when he ran for state ofice-for gov:
,ernor of Illinois against "Dick'' Oglss-
by-he was defeated, and he did not
aspire to. any state sohice afterward.
Mayor Seymour, of Newark, had very
much the same experience when a can
didate for governor Of New JerseysQn
the democratic state ticket. Two other
mayors are in the same category,
Thomas E. Kinney, of Utica, and
Charles r. Parsons, of Rochester. Mr..
Parsons was six times elected to that
Office and served consecutively for.1z
years. The list of popular mayors In
vincible at home, but unable to 90
higher politically, is long one. The
mention Of these names recalls to mind
the notable fact that some constitu-
encies get the habit of constantly elect
ing a candidate for mayor who dis
plays no great popularity when can

William S. Stokley, of Philadelphia,
and Hugh O'Brien, of Boston, are two
other instances Of the same partially

Reports from the vicinity Of Bucha-

trees from which can be produced a

large, but cannot be defined, as the re-

One townsite on the Devils Lake res

Fort Totten, at the boat landing. This
will be an ideal place for a city. Devils
lake has. q frontage or shore of 800
miles, and yet no city has been built
on the very shore of the lake, and it is
hoped now that one will be built. An.
other townsite will probably be located
at Wood lake, pretty spot near the
center of the reservation. Wood lake
is not very large, but it contains clear,
