Crookston. MINI, Aug. 2s.-An effort

Oats and barley are the heaviest in
ten years. In many instances oats are
averaging from sixty to eighty bushels to
the acre.
The rust damage has been overesti-

KEEP HANDS OFF
United States Policy as to Possible
Fight at Shanghai.

Fight at Shanghai.
New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Aug. 23.-Under no
conditions will American Warships
take a hand in any trouble at Shang-
hal between Japan and Russia or be-
tween either of the belligerants and
China. They will not interfere to
maintain the integrity of China nor
even to protect American property, or
the American colony which is one of
the largest of the foreign settlements
in Shanghai. The dock at which the
Russian cruiser Askold is lying i'm
mediately adjoins the American con-
cession and if she should be attacked
there by Japanese warships it is GER
tain the flying shells would do much
damage to American property. If
an attack should be threatened Con-
sui General Goodnow will enter a pro-
test and demand sufficient delay to
secure the removal of all Americans to
placeOf safety. He will do nothing
more than file a protest and ask for
short delay. The question Of pay
ment for any American property that
is destroyed will be taken up at the
close of the war.
This is the policy which was decid-
ed on yesterday after a conference
between Acting Secretary Adee of the
state department and Acting Secretary
Darling of the navy and talk over
the long distance telephone with the
that Admiral Stirling and Consul
General Goodnow must keep their
hands out Of the muddle no matter

Gladstone, said on Thursday that he rot
through the storm without n loss of
stock and that he had not heard of any
losses around there. Mr.. REILLY said that
January had been an unusually severe
month but that he did not consider the
winter very bad for stockmen with hay
and shelter.
Henry Gilbert: have not heard of
any losses of stock around Sentinel Butte
other than 10 head of COWS belonging to
Frank Davidson. They were crowded
into the creek and persisted.
A serious accident happened at the
W. w. Phipps ranch IS miles northwest
on Monday. Fifteen hundred of his
sheep drifted away in the storm and at
last reports it was believed that at least
500 persisted: Mr.. Phipps is a very care
full man and it is not known how the acct
dent happened.
w. B. Howe has heard from a number
Of his ranches since the storm and so lar
as known he did not have any losses. His
sheep and cattle are in the hands of cx-
perienced men.
On Spring creek John Kubik is report
ed to have lost 2 cattle during the storm.
He was feeding outside his corrals and
some of the cattle drifted away. Ice
Wokal of the same locality reports no
loss of cattle at his place and does not

RECENTLY F. E. Weymouth who

RECENTLY F. E. Weymouth who
had charge of the survey by the
reclamation bureau looking to
the institution of irrigating plants
in western North Dakota filed his
report in Washington. He speaks
of the abundance of Ignite coal to
be had at the mines at S1,oo per
ton and the possibilities of locat-
ing pumping plants for irrigating
purposes at various points, similar
to the one so successfully operat-
ed by Fisher Bros. at Green river.
Mr.. Weymouth says that land
in this state level enough for irri-
cation lies along the streams in
small tracts, of 500 to 1000 acres.
He speaks of the good bottoms
for gravity canals along the Knife,
but owing to the abundance of
coal rather favors the pumping
station plan even there. Mr..
Weymouth thinks that many of
the:fnee bench lands on the Heart
and Missouri rivers could be prof.
itably irrigated by pumping sta
tions and made to produce enor-
nous fodder crops for the feeding
of stock during the winter season.

A Marvellous Aerial Globe.

One of the attractions planned for the
St. Louis Worlds Fair will be an aerial
globe, 700 feet high. Some idea of its
magnitude can be obtained after com
pairing it with the popular Ferris wheel,
which is considered a crude affair beside
it. This statement is also appropriate,
after comparing the celebrated Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters with other stomach
remedies. Its 50 years record of cures
puts it SO far in the lead as a family med.
icine that the others are considered
crude affairs and hardly worth a trial.
Then don't delay longer, as delay is
always dangerous, especially. in cases OF
indigestion, dyspepsia. constipation, bill
l%iousness, insomnia, chills, colds or ma
laria, fever and ague. The Bitters posi-
lively cures these ailments as thousands
have voluntarily testified. Try it and
see for Yourself.

Dickinson Defeated Glerdwe.

1t was with fear and trembling THAI,
the friends OF the High School boys
viewed the liuc up OF the Glcnhive team
last Saturday.
The young m.:n VIII Represented Gen
dive were strong athletic looking lciluw:,
and to all appearances seemed more
than a match for our boys. From the
first, however, our boys showed their
metal, and played with a dash that soon
proved them masters of the situation.
The referee was decidedly d%ispleased
with the turn which the game had taken,
and did as much as possible to help the
Glendives regain their lost ~laurels, but
all in vain, the home team closed the
first half with a leading 0 Of IS to I.
When the players appeared upon the
field for the last combat determination
was marked upon every c~ontenance.
The game vas played hard and furious
with a large number OF louis.
Especially did our boys display their
understanding of the game by the a
they fell into position upon the field and
the speed and accuracy with which they
worked together.
When time was called the score stood
20 to FL in favor of Dickinson, and the
kindergarten" team had proved them
selves deserving of a much larger score.
The boys who did not take part in the
game but furnished daily opposition for
the local team, may we'll assume a great
part of the honor.
Many fail to realized the vital import
ance OF athletics in connection with any
educational institution. Good, clean
athletics are indeed a great benefit when
conducted for their true purpose; to pro-
mote intellectual development, as we'll
as physical strength and Skill. These
games should be encouraged for the
sake OF our High School students.
A game is anticipated in the near
future with a team from the A. c. at
Fargo. This will be an exceptional op-
portunity for our team to come in touch
with the game as it is played in the East
by scientific players.
A short practice game was given by
the 9th grade girls against the High
School girls, which gave the High School
team a chance to win back the honors
lost in the previous game. The score
stood q to 3. 1t is only fair to the los.
ing team to say that they played at a
great disadvantage in height.
The line up for the boys game was as
follows:

PROBABLY many of our readers
do not yet fully appreciate the
value of the new land district to
be created in the western part of
North Dakota with headquarters
at Dickinson. The purport of
the bill which passed the u. S.
senate on January IS, is to divide
what is known as the Bismarck
land district in two; the western
portion to be known as the Dick
inson land district and to COM
prise a little less than one-half the
area of the present Bismarck dis
trict which is over 100000 acres.
Bismarck is in the eastern portion
of the present district and in or
der that the work may be proper
ly attended to and that the con-
venience of the new settlers may
be promoted it is deemed wise on
adj sides that the proposed district
be cfeated. 1t is perfectly feast

Building Record.

For a "hard times" year our city has
not so bad a building record-something
like I75 buildings having been construct
ed in 1903.
On the west side Of Dickinson, Young's
First addition has several residences
and spring will see the new street west
of Van Norden practically built up. On
the east Messersmith & Simpsons Addi-
ton has had a decided boom and a dozen
residences have gone up there. John
Courtney has built a fine residence in
billiard & Manning's Addition on the
north-opposite the elegant new home
of J. E. Phelan.
George Schneider has a fine two story
brick residence and L. K. Grantier is
building for himself on Hannaford street
as he can get time from his work on
other buildings. George Aud has a
pleasant new home near the Baptis
church and Mr.. Massarek has built be-
low the hospital.
Additions and repairs are too numer-
Gus to mention but would form quite an
item on total cost of Improvements.
The school annex, now completed, cost
$4,000 and doubles the capacity of the
old building.
Drs. L. c. and Sarah Smith ha We
erected a hospital costing $4,000 on
Clough street.
r. E. Fuller's livery barn on cast Viii
lard street is a substantial addition to
the business interests of the town, as is
also Christ Pederson's brick blacksmith
shop On Clough street.
The N. P, while not giving US the long
wished-for new depot, has spent consid-
cradle in permanent improvements. The
concrete cement dam just east of the
city is the only one of its kind in this part
of the country. Anew pumping station
has been erected in connection with it.
The ~"little" stock yards have been IN
larged to a capacity Of 1000 head, with
two chutes for loading cattle and one
double deck chute for loading sheep.
New side track has been found necessary
to a large amount.
One of the finest public improvements
| of the past season was the installing of
a steam heating plant and a complete
| system of waterworks in the 3-story St.
Charles, making it an %up-to-date hotel.
In South Dickinson most conspicuous
is the $4,000 Catholic church described
be fore, while the Touring mill nearer
/ the river means much in the way OF home
industry and employment for residents.
In this hurried outline it is impossible
to note every building in detail but we
| give our readers enough that they may
realize there is something doing in Dick.
inson all the time ever in dull years.
1t is expected that a 100000 depot will
be built here the coming season and there
Is every reason to believe that much will
be done about the city.

THERE are approximately eight

THERE are approximately eight
and a half million acres of land
open for homesteads in the Bis
marck land district. That is
probably the largest open terrific
ny of any district in the state and
it is possible that it is the largest
in the United States outside the
arid regions of the southwest.
But in the fourteen counties
forming the Bismarck district,
there, is sufficient land to give
homesteads to 53,125 actual fam
lilies. Counting five persons to
the family, there would be in
round numbers 100000 people.
This merely gives an idea of the
wonderful possibilities of the
northwest, and especially of North
Dakota.

How The Middle West Men Made Their
Wealth.

While the editor of the Kuhn Mes
senger does not believe much in going
into debt on general principles, he sees
no harm in going into debt for the pur-
cease of good land. He remarks that
"the men, who, 50 years ago, bought
land in the middle western states at
prices ranging fromsI.25 to Stopper acre,
and who kept it, are to-day the wealthy
business men and farmers and stock
growers of that country. The men who
are buying lands in North Dakota to.
day are going to realize as great profits.
The population of the United States is
increasing at the rate of two million per
year, and at this rate it will take only IL
years to populate another great state like
that Of Iowa. This increasing population
must be fed, and the rapidly increasing
manufacturing interests must be support
ed from the soil in beef and cereals.

more wealth per capita than any
other state in the union. To be
sure it has no millionaires nor has
it many stricken with power
ty. The population of the state
at the present time in round num-
bers is 100000. Its wealth, in
Guiding capital invested within

average of $1,000 for every man,
woman and child in the state.
