STREET RAILWAY GOES BUMP.

Liens Filled Against Fargo & Moor
head Street Railway for Debts.
Fargo Forum: There is a strong
probability that the Fargo & Moor
head Street Railway Co. has gone
bump, financially, at least temporarily.
Yesterday in St. Paul Attorney New
man filed a mechanics lien on the
railway company's assets in Moorhead
with the secretary of state of Mime
sofa and a similar lien was filed by
another member of the same law firm
last evening in Moorhead with the
clerk of count for Clay county.
The lien is for the purpose. of pro-
tecting the claim of an eastern con.
cern, which has furnished the com.
pany quite a quantity of material.
Late yesterday afternoon James
Kennedy, by his attorney, filed me.
chanic's lien against the company with
the clerk of the district court. for
$4,000, alleged to be due for labor and
material furnished. Mr. Kennedy had
the contract for relaying the pave.
ment for the company and furnished
considerable material.
"About all that is the matter with
the street car company" said an at.
torney this morning, s'is the fact that
they commenced building operations
without the funds TO pay expenses,
hopeful that they would sell sufficient
stock to- pay their bills They, have
failed and are now in this trouble"
Attorney Morrill, for the railroad
company was not noticeably disturbed
by the action Of the creditors. > "The
directors Of the company will have a
meeting in this city, next week and !
guess this financial anuddlee will be
cleared up. They have too much in
vested now to abandon the project,
and think they'll be sailing along
all right after next week. A.: u

WHEAT STILL GREEN.
Much Wheat In the Northern Part Of
the State May Not Be Cut.

Much Wheat In the Northern Part Of
the State May Not Be Cut.
Pioneer Pre-: 81 would not be sur
prised if not more than half the wheat
in the northern part of North Dakota
is CUT" said United States Senator H.
C. Hansibrough of Devils Lake, who
was at the Merchants hotel yesterday.
s'In my section of the state the very
best of the wheat cannot possibly
ripen in less than ten days OF two
weeks, and a good deal of it will need
considerably more time. l see by the
papers that touch of frost was re-
ported from a few localities Saturday
night If the frost holds off until
September we may have a fairly good
crop, but that is asking a good deal
for the northern part Of North Da-
.kota."
Senator Hansbrough has returned
from Grand Forks and Devils Lake.
He says that the hotels in Grand
Forks Saturday night had steam heat
on and the people are fearful that the
frost will not hold on long enough to
let the wheat ripen. w. - '' 4 ..,'
"As long as We have weather as cold
rs this, the wheat in the northern
part OF North Dakota will not ripen,"

mems OF grains. J.. P Jackson and
J. Dickerson are hustling every day.
If you know of any unusually fine
crops of grain let this committee know
and they will go after them. Mr..
August Larson OF New Salem and c.
F. Ellis of Mandan are looking after
matters west of the river The COM
mlttee needs some help financially
and as they are giving their time and
energies, those who are not should
help with their money. In view of
partial crop failure in the east end of
the state this will be a good time to
advertise the Missouri slope. Let
everyone help.

Didn't Relish Being Routed Out to
Chase Stampeded Cattle.
William T. DANTE tells this story on
President Roosevelt in the last Har-
per's Weekly:
only once did I ever see his tenn
per get away. 1t was bitter night
late in the fall. The last beef roundup
had reached Chimney Buttes," mile
south of the Maltese Cross Ranch. A
driving rain that froze as it fell turned
the whole river bottom, where the
camp was made, into sea of half
frozen mud. The cattle were restless
and hard to hold All hands were call
ed out, and the nervous beasts were
finally rounded up under the shelter
OF the bluffs. The cooks fire had long
been drowned out, and adj hands went
supperless. 80"
Roosevelt and 1 slept together
After helping to quiet the 400 beeves
we crawled, hungry, wet and cold, into
our bed that meant some blankets
spread on the wet ground covered by
tapaulin or water-tight canvas. Hard
ly had we turned in when a night rider
slashed a wet lariat across our bed,
calling out:
"All hands turn out; cattle breaking
away"
With groan slipped out sideways
and CROPPED in the darkness for my
pony's picket-line. Suddenly l heard
burst of picturesque language, the
gist of which was a general maledic
ton of the country, the man who made
it, the man who lived in it, and the
''blankety blank fool that would leave
Gods country for such blankety,
blank wilderness" but there are GER
tain situations of which it is too sac
! red to go into Details

H. The renown Of the Japanese for cour.
age was as remarkable in Marco Po-
los day as it is In the present. He
narrates the story Of an invasion OF
the country by the forces of the khan
Of Tartary. A Japanese army Of 10000
men was besieged in tower Refus-
ing to surrender, they fought until all
but eight Of them were killed. On
these eight-travelers' wonders must
creep init was found impossible to in.

virtue Of certain stones which they had
In their arms, inserted between the
skin and the flesh. And the charm and
virtue Of these stones were such that
those who wore them could never per-
1sh by steel" They were therefore
beaten to death with clubs. aa.*

wa Indians. This legislation has been
before congress since 1892, when SEN
ator Hansbrough had q commission
appointed, of which Mr.. McCumber,
now senator, was chairman. This
commission negotiated an agreement
with the Indians. Favorable action
was secured by Senator Hansbrough
on this agreement on several occas-
sions, but it failed to pass the house.
Favorable action was secured in the
spring OF 1897 in the house bpt Con-
gresham Johnson, who was member
OF that body at that time, was not sat
isfied with the arrangement and de-
feated it. When McCumber came to
the senate, Senator Hansbrough had
him appointed on the committee on
Indian affairs and turned the matter
over to him. ~. + .ss..> :.
Six hundred and forty acres were
given to the state of North Dakota for
a memorial park in commemoration OF
the battle Of the White Stone Hills
Settlers on the abandoned Fort Abra-
ham Lincoln military reservation were
relieved from obligation to pay the ap-
praised value of the lands in addition
to the required residence under the
homestead laws. A bill was passed
ratifying1 the agreement with the
Devils Lake Indians, under which the
lands in the reservation are thrown
open to homestead settlement. A bill
was passed validating proofs made be-
fore a United States commissioner out
side the county in which the land is
situated. The bill granting 10000
acres to the school of forestry at Bot
tineau passed the senate, but did not
get through the house. As result Of
the Introduction by Senator Hans
brough of the bill for the appointment
of a supervising engineer the reclama-
ton service seems to have bestirred
itself to the extent of detailing a
special engineer for work in North Da-
kota, and he will be assisted by a
corps of engineers, photographers, ETC.,
to investigate and report on the feast
bihty Of irrigation projects in the
state. One project is already agreed
upon, that along the Yellowstone river,
in which $4,000 acres in North Dakota
and Montana can be irrigated.
