END OF STRIKE NEAR.
photographers Claim Ehey Are Near
Victory While Roads Declare
Strike Broken.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 14.-That the
end of the telegraphers' strike on the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads is near seems certain. The
only uncertainty is how it will end.
The prediction was made here since
the report from Sioux City, Ia, of
wholesale assertions of men from the
union cause on the Willmar and Sioux
Falls division of the Great Northern,
that the strikers had lost and that
from that time there would be land
slide in favor of the railroads
This was offset Saturday by a spe-
cial telegram from Helena, Mont, quot
ing j. Dermody, fourth vice presi-
dent of the Order Of Railway Teleg-
raphers, who has charge Of the strike
on both railroad systems in Montana,
as saying:
within 4S hours the public will
learn that the strike is over. We are
on the eve of victory. In fact 1t is
over now except to arrange the final
terms Of settlement, which will be ad-
vantageous to the menawho stood to-
gether for living wages"
/ General Manager Horn, Of the North
ern Pacific road, VIXEN told of the
statement made by Mr.. Dermody, said
to the press: sThat Is a
big bluff to hold the men together.
They are afraid Of landslide"

CORN IN GOOD CONDITION
PROSPECTS THAT EXCELLENT
CROP WILL BE HARVESTED.
Favorable Temperature Reported for
NPast Week-Drought Relieved
by Abundant Rains.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Crop condi-
lions are summarized as follows In
the weekly bulletin issued by the
weather bureau:
During the week ending August Ia
very favorable temperatures prevailed
in all districts east of the Rocky
mountains, the week averaging slight
ly cooler than usual in the gulf states
and warmer than usual throughout
the central and northern portions of
the country. The drought prevailing
in the previous week in the middle
and south Atlantic and east gulf
states has been relieved by abundant
rains. Needed rains also occurred
In portions of the upper Mississippi
and lower Missouri valleys. The re-
ports continue to indicate an excel
lent outlook for corn throughout the
central valleys, lake region and mid
die Atlantic states. Rain has afforded
relief in the Ohio valley, and while
the crop in portions Of Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska was in need of
rain at the close of the week, the
weather map of August Ia shows that
good rains have occurred where
needed in the two first mentioned
states. Early corn is now practically
made in the southern portions of
Kansas and Missouri.
Spring wheat has done well, only
slight injury from rust being reported.
Under high temperatures the crop has
r1pened rapidly, some of the early
sown having been harvested in North
Dakota. Cutting is well advanced in
central Minnesota and nothern South
Dakota and is practically finished in
the southern portions OF these states
and in Iowa and Nebraska.
Only a small part Of the oat crop in
the extreme northern districts remains
unharvested. Threshing is we'll ad
tanced and all reports indicate salts
| factory yields.
| Too much rain and lack of sun.
| shine have proved unfavorable to
| tobacco in Maryland, Virginia and
Kentucky; elsewhere this crop has
advanced satisfactorily.
The apple outlook continues un
changed, poor crop being indicated
in nearly all the principal apple pro
ducing states.
The soil is in excellent condition
for fall blowing throughout the
central valleys, lake region and At
lantic coast districts, and this worl
has made good progress.

About Feeding Barley.
Communicated

Barley threshed from the shock, not
having gone through the sweat In the
stack, is risky feed for hogs especial
ly If ground. The proper way to feed
is to have barrels or a vat divided in
the center with an outlet and a
strainer at bottom, soak one day and
feed the next; draw off the water and
put pure cold water on the barley in
the feed trough. Shovel your barley
over in the bins-no meaner feed than

Crop Report

Corn has made great progress to-
ward maturity, and the general con-
dition Of the crop is highly satisfac-
tory. Good reports continue to come
as to the excellent yield and quality
of oats and the spring wheat crop
gives promise of better output and
higher quality Of grain than the state
has produced in recent years. The
recent showers will help out late po-
tatoes. Altogether, it has been thus
far very good crop season, promis-
ing more than an average output Of
staple farm products.

Expected.

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-In manner
which was severely criticised by many
delegates President Shea, Of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Transfers,
Monday secured the conventions in
dorsement Of the Chicago strike.
President Shea refused to have the
roll called on the motion, insisting
that a viva voce vote was sufficient.
Although there were many nays, Presi-
dent Shea declared the motion carried
The motion to approve Sheas ac-
tons and the course pursued during
the Chicago strike by the executive
board was made by A. ]. Dean, of Chi
cago. George Innis, of Detroit, made
an address demanding the roll call.
Shea ignored the demand and forced
an immediate vote, resulting in the in
dorsement of himself and the execu-
tive board.
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed vesting authority in the general
president with the sanction of the ex-
ecutive board to appoint in any city
or town where conditions will war
rant some representative of local
union who shall receive weekly rec
ompense of not more than ten dollars
from the International organization
for the purpose of securing new mem
bers. The resolution was drawn up
by President Shea.
The most important work left for
the convention is the report of the
committee on officers reports, which
is expected to indorse Shea. The re-
port of the constitution committee is
expected to bring bitter contest. The
Turley forces will try to limit Shea's
powers.
