NORTH DAKOTA AT PORTLAND FAIR
Her Exhibits We're All in Place and Ready for the Opening OF
the Exposition-Rooscvcl Cabin Is a Drawing Card.

North Dakota had her display in
the agricultural building at the Lewis
and Clark exposition ready for opening
day and has been entertaining hun
dreds of people every day since. Ex-
ecutive Commissioner Warren N.
Steele is more than pleased with the
attention that the exhibit is attracting.
Wyoming and Montana have their ex-
hibits directly across the aisle from
the North Dakota exhibit, and it is
safe to say that North Dakota gets ten
people in her space where the other
people get one. Even Oregon, with
nearly half Of the building for her ex
hibit, has been kept moving to get the
people that the North Dakota exhibit
attracts.
1t is safe to say that there is no
single exhibit in the building that has
as many attractive features. There
perhaps is not a person who enters the
grounds who does not look the cabin
up, and once a man is in the space the
attendants can do the rest. The cabin
has been made as attractive as posi-
BILE and is being we'll avertised. Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt has sent Ex-
ecutive Commissioner Steele n of
his autograph photographs and it will
be hung in the cabin.
Senator Main of Cando, who has
done the decorating in grain and grass
has succeeded in doing the best work
in the building. The popular legisla-
tor from Towner has received so many
| fattering comments that his friends
may not be at all surprised to find him
wearing a larger sized hat when he
returns home. In the center of the
wall back of the North Dakota space
he has arranged what is perhaps the
most original as well as the most beau.
tiful piece of work of it's kind in the
building. A large semicircular stand
has been built for large glass grain
Jars, and at the top he has placed
grass in such form that it appears as
it does in the field. Among the grass
he has placed prairie chickens acc
jack rabbits. and the effect is very

Washington, June %. = Russia has
given of it's intentions in
the peace negotiations by placing the
president in possession of the tenta-
tive selection of her plenipotentiaries.
as follows: NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian
ambassador at Paris, and Baron Ro-
sen, the newly appointed Russian am
bassador at Washington. Russia thus
having taken the initiative, it is be-
lieved that Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese
minister, during his call at the White
House yesterday, informally told the
president that Japan's selections, also
tentative, were Baron Komura, the
Japanese minister for foreign affairs,
and Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese
minister at Washington.
Announcement Withheld.
Official announcement of the names
of the plenipotentiaries is withheld for
several reasons.
M. Nelidoff's health may not permit
him to make the trip, n pressure of
official work may necessitate the pres
ence in Toxic of Baron Komura. Mr..
Takahira and Baron Rosen are regard
ed as the certainties Inc the belief is
that unless something unforeseen
should occur, both Russia and Japan
will consent to the official announce
ment of the personnel of the Washing
ton conference within a few days.
Armistice Not Necessary.
Interest regarding an armistice has
largely diminished in the last few
| days because of the receipt of informa-
| ton that the rainy season is beginning
in Manchuria. 1t is believed here that
this will serve the purpose of an armis-
| tice in preventing a clash before the
| converting of the conference in Au-
| gust. Moreover, the informal sound
ings initiated by the president at To-
klo and st. Petersburg did not yield
much hope for successful negotiations
looking to an armistice until after the
Observation-Disclosures meet. II Japan is
then convinced of tho serious desire Of
Russia for peace abe will readily con-
sent to an armlstice,. aszaass%
Gen. linevitch Reports.
st. Petersburg. June 2S.-Two tele-
grams were received yesterday by
/
Emperor Nicholas from Lieut.. Gen.
Linevitch, dated June "a and June IS
respectively, and referring to the
movements Of June 81 and June %.
On the latter date a Japanese attempt
to dislodge the Russian outposts in the
Valley of the Kao was rernlsed, while
the Russians in the H%ailungchen dis
trict. dislodged the Japanese outposts
at Nanshancheng and advanced south
ward of that place. The Russians ope-
rating in the direction of Ufanglu re-
tired after unmasking a considerable
force of japanese. The latter pursued
the Russians and occupied the town of
Ulungtzu in the Hailunchen district.
The Japanese resumed the offensive
in the neighborhood of Shimiaotz,
continuing a frontal attack and max
ing an energetic turning movement,
The latter threatened to cut off the
Russians, who consequently retired.

The reports Of a possible affection
of rust in North Dakota this year have
gained considerable circulation within
the past week. The fact that rust has
appeared on barberry bushes is taken
by many to mean that there will be a
scourge of rust on wheat. This view
is not held by many, however. James
Holes, who has farmed in the Red riv-
er valley for a score of years, and is
one of the most successful agricultur-
lists in the state, says that barberry
bushes have rust on them nearly every
year, and the fact that rust is found on
the bushes this year, he thinks, is no
conclusion that there will be a general
affection of rust in the wheat.
Owing to the great damage done last
year, farmers generally are easily
frightened over any reports that would
indicate that there is the least posi-
bility Of a second affection. In any
season it is claimed that there is
enough rust spores in the air to infict
great damage to crops, but the. condi'
tons for propagation must be just
right, and it is impossible just now
to determine whether such is the case
this year or not.
In the valley counties the greatest
danger at this time seems to be with
too much moisture, and some of the
growing crop has been all but drowned
out in extremely low places, notably
between Hillsboro and Fargo, and be-
tween Grafton and Neche, but these
spots are rare, and general conditions
we're never better than at present, and
many of the farmers are already fig
.uring on a bigger crop than in 1895, a
point in the calendar that is often re-
ferred to by the raisers of wheat in
this state.
There has been a week of cloudy
and showery weather, and but few
places in the state but have had heavy
downpours of rain. Cool weather has

grain has stooled we'll, the only draw
back being in the slow growth Of late
| sown grain. Grain men who have WIS.,
| tied almost every section Of the state
are united in the assertion that crops
have never been better at this time
of year., nor a year when prospects
we're more promising. While the val
ley counties have had an abundance OF
rain, the wet weather has been needed
in the western sections and reports
from there are flattering. The wheat
acreage is much increased, especially
in the counties out from the center of
the state, and with this increase and
! favorable conditions throughout har-
vest, North Dakota will produce more
wheat than ever before.
In many sections of the state rail-
road building will have it's effect on
the wheat market, thousands of farm
ers being able this year to ship grain
! almost from their doors, while in for
mer wears there have been hauls from
ten to twenty-five miles to elevators
or railroad stations. The 500 is open
ing up a new territory and the several
extensions of the Great Northern IN
the northwestern and western sections
of the state will open UP the finest
grain country imaginable. Railroad
work is being pushed just as
rapidly as possible in order that most
of the lines will be in position TO bring
out the crop just as soon as it leaves
the separator.
Business in all Of the new own
that have sprung up along these rail-
road lines is excellent and there Will
be scores of excellent trading points
| opened up as a result Of the invasion
| of the steam cars.
The weather has cleared up, and re
living On the general belief that has al
WAYS prevailed that rains in June are
the making of crops in North Dakota,
there is nothing yet to indicate that
the state is not due for a bumper crop
this year.

Dakota, mills will be called upon to
ship a great deal of their -four to the
Western coast. When the markets of
the Orient open up the North Dakota
mills will feel the effect of it and it
will pay to look to the markets now.
A number of signs setting forth the
wonderful wealth and prosperity of
the, state have been prepared and
placed in conspicuous places about the |
booth. 1t is strange how little some !
people know of the whole Northwest,
and North Dakota in particular. 1t is
not at all strange to meet a person
who still believes that even as old a
state as Iowa has few well-to.do farm
ers. The extent, elegance and excel.
lence of the North Dakota exhibit sur
prises such people and they are imme-
diately interested and begin to ask
questions. The fact that North Dako-
ia is the only state from what is known
among us as the Northwest to exhibit
at the Lewis and Clark exposition is
| going to do a great deal to attract the
attention of people who are interested
in the Northwest in general to North
Dakota in particular. Hardly a day
passes but what people ask about
places in the state where it is best to
| stop off in order to see certain parts Of
the state. The stopover privileges
that the railroads have granted are
! going to do wonders for the state. h
exhibit attracts their attention at this
end and the railroads and the people
at home can do the rest.
There is. nothing showing the pros
perity of North Dakota so we'll as does
the fact that such a large percentage
of her population and especially OF her
farmers can afford to travel. A close
watch of the number of visitors from
' North Dakota and the number from
other states at the same distance and
placed under similar conditions clear
" shows that a much larger per cent
of the North Dakota population can
afford TO travel than any Of the other
states. 1t is safe to say that North
Dakota has had more visitors at the
fair since the opening than either Min
nesota or South Dakota with their
much larger population and older es
tablished communities.
Preparations are being made for
North Dakota day, which will probably
be some time in July. Gov. Sarles has
not named the exatct date, but viii
soon do so. The date will be placed
so that when the governor and his par
ty attend the Dakota steamship festlvl

would pass Tenth street and Pennsyl-

upon the scene and administered an

Major Sylvester says the first stories
of the two cases would lead one TO
believe that "mashers' were realities in
Washington, when as a matter Of fact
they are myths The police of every

umbrella was acquainted with both
parties, and knew why they followed
her This seems to be pretty good evi-
