RECOGNITION
Question of Recognition of Nor
way to be Decided.

Washington, July ~. The ques-
tion of the recognition of Norway as
an independent state is now before
President Roosevelt, having been re-
ferred to him by Assistant Secretary
of State AIDE.
On numerous occasions it has hap
pened that revolutionary party asked
to be recognized as an independent ma
tion, but Norway has not seeded
from Sweden through a revolution but
merely has taken back the sovereignty
which once had been given to the
king of Sweden.
Many private Norwegian citizens
have asked the United States to recog-
nize the new state, and G. Hauge,
who until the secession was first SEC
retary of the legation of Sweden and
Norway. has presented a more or less
formal request to the state depart
ment. which, however. has no official
antha:ity. aa ,s, ,...... r.1..
All these requests. however, have
been referred to the president.

"METIGOSHE"
The Queen Of the Lakes in North
Dakota

On Sunday next, July 30, the One
NEE Band will be at Lake Metigoshe
to regale the Lake visitors of Bottineau
County with its refreshing strains.
Many of Bottineau's residents have
been spending their vacation at this
pretty summer resort, which is pro-
nounced by all to be the best in the
state. You don't have to walk around
in your best Gibbs and fuckers as
if you were the guest Of some embassy
at Washington. 1t doesn't matter
whether you wear a laundered shirt or
sweater you can just take the lid of,
and have good time. This is what
makes it more popular than any other
resort in the state. Fishing galore,
and boating plenty, and every accom-
modation that will make complete
holiday. To have the Omemee Band
present on Sunday will be an extra
treat, because this band ranks among
! the best il North Dakota.

ATTRACTIONS
For Coming Winter. 3
Entertainments
2 GOOD LECTURES
A Lecture Association Formed of Botti-
neau's Citizens and Good Talent
has been secured. Make
ita Success.

A Lecture course for the coming
winter has been arranged by the Col
umbian Lyceum Bureau of st. Paul.
Last winter this same Bureau put in
a course here which was pronounced
by all who attended and supported the
enterprise, as being of first class
order. But one of the most unpleas-
ant features of the whole course was
the lack of interest shown by the
community, or the lack of knowledge
as to the set of attractions. The con-
sequence was that the committee con-
sisting of some of our business men
were out about 800.
Again lecture association has been
formed consisting of the following
persons, Messrs. r. j. White, p.
Scott. A. g. Burr, c. L. Blades, The
Bvttineau Co. Bank, The Rev. Chas.
E. White and w. N. Gillis. Messrs.
D. H. Macarthur. j. j. Weeks, II. s.
Blood, N. c. Wegner, w. P. Nc
MILAN, with others to follow. These
gentlemen believing that a lecture
course is necessary thing for the
community's winter entertainment.
have secured the following attractions
consisting of two Concert Companies
1.-THE Ariel Ladies Quartette' and
the columbian Entertainers Also
two good lecturers. Dr.. II. w. Scare,
one of the best humorists, and Father
j. Vaughan, one Of the most scholarly.
with Ash Davis, magician. This
makes the strongest program possible
and will cost about 5000. It is not the
object of this association to make
money out Of this enterprise. They
will be glad to set clear Of expense and
know they have contributed to the en-
tertainment Of the public in good.
clean wholesome way. The course
tickets will be put down as low as
possible so as to make it an object for
everybody to buy, and save money on
the coure, for this Is the only way any
committee or association can secura
themselves financially.

A RUST SCARE
Throughout our State
is what we call
MOSTLY "HUMBUG"
There are many varied and Conflicting
Reports going in from all parts Of
s*gst State but Bottineau County i,
.. is Clean. 81.

The Fargo Forum says "Prof. H. L.
Bolley has great deal to asy on
black rust. The Prof. has been push
ing his Investigations pretty Justify,
but in his enthusiastic hunt, he has
, been able to see rust everywhere, just
as some men see snakes everywhere.
The rust question is the all-absorbing
one in the wheat situation just now
and fields are being inspected by peo
pie in all lines of business, with a
view to ascertaining whether the par
asite has yet made it's appearance or
not. Thus far the preponderance of
evidence is decidedly in favor Of the
negative, as thousands of people can
be found who have been unable to see
any rust. The fact that some people
say they have seen it constitutes an
element of uncertainty sufficient to
make the situation interesting to say
the least. ..,, ... ... .e.....
Many inquiries from many and very
reliable parties have been made
throughout this county with regard to
rust conditions and nothing Of the
kind has put in an appearance as yet.
The Minneapolis Journal correspon-
dent says: 'Statistican Snow. on a
tour Of the fields, is reported to have
found we'll developed samples of black
rust in the vicinity of Fargo. What
he has found farther north has not yet
been announced. The conditions in
the Fargo section appears to have been
somewhat more favorable for the de-
velopment of rust than in some other
sections Just north Of that city for
a number of miles the country is low
and poorly drained. Water stood on
the fields until late in the spring. and
it has happened that that section has
been visited by unusually heavy rain
practically all summer. 1t is fair to
conclude, therefore, that the growing
grain there contains more water, and
is consequently softer, and affords a
better Judgement for rust spores than
that where the season has not been so
wet. In some cases farmers in this
part Of the valley have found indica
tions Of what they believe to be black
rust on. their grain, but as the para
site is somewhat difficult for anyone
but an expert to detect, it is not GER
tain that this view is correct. =
So far, however, we are glad to say
Bottineau county is entirely free. It
is the best wheat raising country in
the state and rust or no rust, we are
bound to have q bumper crop.

Although the city of Bottineau has
not increased in population as some
other county seats of the state. The
population Of the county according
to it's size has made more rapid
growth than any other county, more
than doubling itself in the last FIVE
years. The classification on the basis
Of sex show that there are 8, $40 males,
6,658 females, this probably accounts
for the many bachelors The classi6-
cation according to nationality show
that there are 10, 293 who are native
born Americans, 4,8S1 foreign born.
The foregoing figures show that Botti-
neau county in regard to population
takes its rank with Stutsman and Bar
nes counties, but indicates far more
rapid growth than either whilst other
counties show an increase of about
twenty y-five per cent in the last five
years, Bottineau county shows an in
.oraase~of over one hundred per cent.
In the matter of farm products Bot
tineau county is in the lead on the
average yield. From the official stat
istics from the department of agricul-
ture at Bismarck, Bottineau county
has d showing Of an average yield of
wheat for the past five years of thir-
teen bushels to the acre. A yield
more than any other county in the
state.
The amount of grain raised last
year in Bottineau county was as fol-
lows:
Wheat Observation-Disclosures. .........2, 402, 900 bushels
Io5lOOO bushels
~, 900 bushels
barley 34O.OOO Dushels
There is this year larger acreage
sown than at any time previous.
There being over $50, 600 acres sown to
wheat, $1,000 acres to oats and go, 900
acres sown to fax, which if the county
keeps up its average yield, will make
in all, total of five million bushels
of grain. -
8. Bottineau county has also made an
other record according to the returns,
in the way of increased valuation of
property. In the past five years it
has more than tripled itself.

RESIDENCE OF MR. RNDGE AT TWENTY-FoURTH STREET AND
HARVARD BOULEVARD

received from him told of a pleasant
vacation and improved health.
A widow and three children, Samue
X. Rindge, aged II; Frederick Hasting:
Rindge, aged 49, and Rhoda Agatha
Rindge, aged 13. survive him.
Frederick Rindge was born Dec. 21
1857, in Cambridge, Mass. that his.
toric town which has been the birth.
place of SO many of Americas great
men. In Cambridge he spent his early
boyhood, prepared for college and grad.
uated from Harvard with the class oi
10.
In 1887 he came to Los Angeles tc
make his home. but in all the years
spent in this city he never forgot the
town of his birth and the imposins
city hall, the public library and the
manual training school in that city
all stand as monuments to his loyalty
and generosity.
Just before entering Harvard Mr.
Rindge made visit to California and
determined then that some day he
would make it his home. When he
returned to fulfill his dream he brought
wife with him, formerly Miss Rhoda
May Knight of Trenton, N. ].
His Santa Monica Home
They bought beautiful property in
the mountain canyon Rancho Topango
Malibu, near Santa Monica, and
erected a palatial home where they
lived until the house was destroyed
by fire two years ago. Until the COM
pletion Of their residence in the Rindge
tract on West Adams heights, about
year ago, they lived in Santa Monica.
There is hardly a local philan-
thropic movement of the last few years
in which Mr.. Rindge has not had a
prominent part. He was president of
the board of directors of the Young
Mems Christian association and was
interested in everything pertaining to
the welfare of that organization. He
was one OF the most ardent leaders in
the Westlake Methodist Episcopal
church and the Methodist congregation
in Santa Monica owes the existence
of the splendid edifice 1t now occupies
to him. Work in the Sunday schools
was his particular pleasure and in
building up branches which had run
down he was always active.
Mr.. Rindge was a personal friend OF
President Roosevelt. whom he met at
Harvard, and he entertained the Presi-
dent IN Los Angeles on the occasion
He was president of the Harvard club
Of Southern California.

interesting book of which he was the
author and he wrote several volumes
dealing principally with religious
thoughts. He was a capitalist with
large resources and he leaves val
liable estate.
The estate of Mr.. Rindge is said to be
valued at $3O,OO0,O00. One block in
Boston owned by Mr.. Rindge is valued
at $5,0OOO00 and at one time his family
owned nearly the whole water front of
that city. The estate which came to
him at the death of his father was a
valuable one and by careful manage
ment it has been greatly increased.
In addition to the vast amounts of
ranges, north Of Santa Monica, he was
heavily interested in the Los Angeles
Pacific Electric lines, carried large
amount of stock in local banks and was
director in several large corporations.
His home on West Adams Heights is a
mansion and he has large interests in
several valuable business blocks.
In business cirles wherever the news
of Mr.. Rindge's death had been told
yesterday afternoon the shock was felt
and on every hand there were words
of praise for the man who was one of
Los Angeles most prominent citizens.
Rev. Robert Mcintyre had not heard
of the death of Mr.. Rindge until a
Herald reporter told him last night.
