The Bulletin des Hallos, the most

makes the following estimate of the
worlds production Of wheat in 1904:
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1905-01-19

A comparison with previous figures
shows that the crop of 1904 in Europe
was 200, 1876, 900 bushels less than in
1903; that the crop of America was
81, 436250 bushels less than In 1903,
and that the crop Of Oceania was o..
281 $50 bushels less than in 1903. The
crops of Asia and Africa, on the other
hand have increased by 56,1S2, 500 and
2,S37. 500 bushels, respectively. The
crop in France shows a shortage OF
62,425,000 bushels-R, M. Bartleman,

1t has been the custom Of all
wholesale houses to protect custom
ers in Dakota and other prohibition
states by consigning shipments
to themselves. The bill of lading,
with a sight draft on the customer,
were then forwarded to some bank
at the point Of destination. In this
way the purchasers was able to re-
ceive the liquor in the dealer and
escape the penalties Of the pro-
hibition law.
According to the decision just
handed down, this makes the point
Of destination the place Of sale, and
the wholesaler will have to secure
a federal license as a liquor dealer
at that place.
As the laws Of North Dakota pro-
Ihibit the sale in this state, this
seems to pin the wholesaler down
1to 4 violation for every sale made.

ANOTHER LAW POINT
IN LIQUOR SALES.

In view of the large amount of
consignment business done by the
liquor dealers, a ruling Of the treas

ST. Paul revenue Office is of much
importance.
Commissioners John w. Yerkes
has ruled, lin response to a letter Of
inquiry from Frederick Won Bum
bach, deputy collector in st. Paul,
that wholesale liquor dealers when
consigning liquor to themselves at
out-of-town points and forwarding
the bill of lading, together with a
sight draft upon the purchaser to
local banks for coll ction, must
take out federal licenses ii each

interesting events to relate of that
turbulent period.

Sam Harding had coat stolen
from him Tuesday night. Two

John Lindstrom was building a

Similar acts have occurred in that
neighborhood within the past two
years.

The Garrison Times.

John l.. Hanson, of Garrison and
Miss Christina R. Larson of Candy,
Mimi, were united in marriage last
week at Bismarck.
VIM. Frank, who has resided with
his family for the past three years
on their farm four miles northwest
of Garrison, died at his home Wed
nesday evening Of dropsy. Mr..
Frank came to this section from
Scotland, S. D., and had made nu-
merous friends. Funeral services
will be held at the house Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. He leaves
to mourn their loss wife and sew
eral children, who have the sympa-
thy Of the community.
Rev. E. S. Stickney, of Fargo,
and Rev. Emil Dietrich, Of Wash
burn, spent several days in Garri-
son the first of the week, looking
over the field with a view to erect
ing Cong church. On Tuesday
morning they decided it was best
to 60 ahead with the building at
once, and accordingly circulated a
petition among our business men
which met liberal response from
all.
Daniel Fogherty was SO badly in
jured in a runaway Tuesday even
ing about mile northeast of Gar
rison, that he died Thursday morn
ing at nine o'clock withour regain
ing consciousness. As he was alone
no particulars are known, but it is
probable that the team ran down a
long hill. at the bottom of which
they were found entangled in their
harness so that they could not
move, and the load of building ma
terial was upset as they started to
turn into the coulee, Mr.. Fogerty
going under part of the load. Here
he was found by a farmer in a short
time, who removed the lath, ETC.,
from him, and then instead of car
ing for him like man, just threw
a blanket over him and went home,
leaving the unfortunate fellow to
lay out in drizzling rain all night.
The farmer offers the thin excuse
that he thought Fogherty was
drunk. Wednesday morning, he
brought to town by Messrs. Wood
and Cheek, and DR.. Ray, Of Cole
harbor, was Immediately notified.
After examination, the doctor at
once announced that there were no
grounds for hope for his recovery
as he had received internal injury.
All was done for him after the doc
tors arrival that could be done,
but to no avail.
