j0NES-|NGL|S WHEAT
REPORT SAID TO
Be HIGH
One Who Knows Claims Price
on New Wheat Will be Lower
Than Crop Warrants.

A representative of the Evening
Times was last evening permitted an
interview with an official connected
with the bureau of statistics in the
agricultural department anent the
Jones-1nglis crop report crediting
North Dakota with 100000, 900 bushel
wheat crop this year, in which that
official said:
"The Jones-Inglis combination, am
afraid, has over-estimated the wheat
crop of the state, which, though l am
willing to believe will be larger than
last year, will fall several million BUSH
els short of their estimate. have
gone over the state carefully and am
confident the total will not exceed
86,O00,00O to possibly 8S,OO0,OO0 bush
els.
by spreading broadcast such a re-
port Jones and Inglis are doing the
farmers of this state an immense in
jury, as will surely be found out in
short time. Mark my word-new
wheat will command price per bushel
this season from seven to ten cents
less than the amount of the crop
would warrant. The operators will at
tempt to keep prices down until they
have loaded as heavily as they can,
then someone will wake up and dis
cover that the wheat crop is short.
Then watch the prices soar"

is A SURE SIGN
Prosperity is Revealed Even in
Number of Painting
Contracts.

Probably one of the surest signs of
prosperity in evidence at the present
time, aside from the good crop signs,
is that the painters and carpenters,
the former especially, have more work
than they can accomplish even If the
season holds out to the latest for this
class of work.
In this respect a local painting con-
tractor said this morning, II don't see
how l am ever going to get through
with the work I now have on hand,
for with the scarcity of men staring
one in the face it is sure to be a SER
ious proposition. l have chance after
chance every day to almost double my
present contracts but l cannot see nv
way clear to undertake any more than
now have on the books"
To casual observer this would
seem very good sign of the prosperity
of the season for it is an assured fact
that people will not think of repaint-
ing and fixing up the house and barn
If things are not looking very fair to
say the least. 1t is fixed rule that
people must have money to make
these repairs and money generally
means prosperity.

OF FARG0, PASSES
away
First President N. D. Bar Asso.

Fargo Morning Call: The death of
Hon. Seth Newman occurred at his
residence, 221 Thirteenth street s., last
evening at $3.50 o'clock in the presence
of his wife and two daughters and close
friends. Mr.. Newman had not enjoy
ed the best of health for some time,
but his final illness began some five
days ago, when he took to his bed
and failed rapidly. Mr.. Newman had
been troubled more or less with his
stomach for the past year, but he did
not deem his affection serious. His
death came unexpected at the close
of career full of usefulness.
The deceased was born in Russia,
Herkimer county, N. Y, December z,
1886. He studied law in the Office
of Hon. Horace Boies, afterwards
governor of Iowa, and stood second
in class of twenty-five. He after
wards formed partnership with Mr..
Boies, but owing to sickness was
compelled to abandon the practice of
law. He went to Waterloo, Ia, on
the farm of a relative of Mr.. Boies,
where he remained some three years:
In that period he had recovered his
health and removed to independence,
Ia, where he engaged In the grain and
elevator business and also managed
lumber yard, besides being agent for
the Mccormick Harvesting Machine
company. While at Independence he
was elected justice of the peace and
thus got started again in the law bust
ness, and former partnership with
prominent lawyer Of that city. Upon
request Of Mr.. Sheehan, general agent
of the Mccormick Harvesting Machine
company for Dakota, he came to Fargo
to assist in collecting in 1879. He re-
turned to Iowa but came back the next
year and went into the Office of Ben
ton & Darling. Later he formed
partnership with Mr.. Stone and after
time w. c. Resser was taken into
the firm. Shortly afterward Mr.. Stone
died. The firm of Newman & Spald-
ing & Stambaugh was formed and con-
tinued until Mr.. Newman withdrew
and the firm of Newman, Holt & Frame
was formed a few years ago. Mr.
Newman was elected mayor of Fargo
IN the early SOS and was also mem
Der of the legislature for one term,
He worshipped at the Episcopal cathe-
dral and was chancellor of the Episco-
pal diocese of North Dakota.
A wife and two children are left to
mourn his loss besides a host of
friends. The daughters are Mrs. ].
A: Power of Glendale, N. D., and Mrs.
Dial, supervisor of music at Brainerd.
Mimi, both daughters being at the
bedside when the end came.
The funeral services will be held
Wednesday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
at the Episcopal cathedral and the
remains will be taken to Chicago for
interment.
Mr.. Newman won very high place
IN the legal profession and was con-
sidered one of the best lawyers of
the state. He was the first president
OF the North Dakota Bar association.
He was master of English and sr
eloquent and effective speaker as vel;
as strong lawyer.

MINNESOTA LOGGING.
Over 100000 Feet Of Pine Logged Near
Cass Lake.

Hon. VIM. O'Neil of Cass Lake, who
is superintendent of logging on the
Chippewa Indian reservation of North
ern Minnesota, under the provisions
of the Morris Chippewa law, has the
following to say relative to the prog
ress that mas peen made in the cutt-
ing of the pine on the reserve which
was sold under the Morris law:
There has been logged on the res
ervation since the Morris law went
into effect, in round numbers, 34O,O00,-
600 feet of pine. We have collected
1902 100000 for the benefit of the In
dams entailing an outlay of $4,000 in
doing the work, this expense being for
experimenting the work, scaling and
other necessary labor. This gives the
Indians 1852 per cent of the total
amount, 2:48 per cent being for ex-
penses.
"The first sale of timber on the re-
serve was made in the winter Of 1908,
and there has been practically but two
years of logging on the timber sold
at that time. The pine disposed of at
the 1904 sales has practically been log
ged but one year, as in the computa-
ton by the government. the first year,
being but month or two, did not
count. Under the provisions of the
law the timber must be logged within
five years. The larger companies
which purchased the pine were the
Northland, Pine Tree Standard, Miss
issippi, ]. Neils, Burlington, st. Louis
River, Namakan and Mueller, there al
so being large number of minor pur-
chasers of small tracts. and the terri
tory covered has been divided into the
Chippewa and Leech Lake.
1.-The operations on the Red Lake
reservation are almost entirely COM
pleted, there remaining but about
100000 yet to log. There is still
about 250,000,000 feet lying north and
northeast of Cass Lake which has not
yet been sold.
"The logging operations have been
conducted very successfully, and we
have no trouble whatever, beyond the
ordinary kicks on small matters
which the average logger takes upon
himself as his inalienable right to
register against things in general.
"The cut has so far went over the
government estimate at least 25 per
cent, but as the timber is sold at bank
scale, the Indian loses nothing on this
account"

Open STREETS AND
AVENUES OVER G.
\. TRACKS
Company Promises to This
Week Begin a Much. Needed
Improvement.

The Great Northern Railway COM
pany, acting upon the request Of the
city council. will this week begin the
work of installing crossings along the
route Of its Winnipeg tracks. The
work will be done entirely at the ex-
pense of the railroad company.
This roadbed from the depot north
ward to Schumacher. a distance of
about six miles is to be abandoned
and trains will be run over the new
cutoff from the junction west of the
city to Schumacher. The grading for
the cutoff is now finished and men
are engaged in laying the steel and
making the line ready for traffic.
The abandonment of the old line
through the city will mean much to
the residents in the north end as the
road bed has for years been an eyesore
to an otherwise pretty residence dis
trict. The opening Of the streets and
avenues which cross the track will be
a much needed improvement to north
enders as heretofore If a crossing to
the other side of the track were de-
sided roundabout journey of several
blocks had to be taken.
The streets and avenues effected by
the order are Sixth, Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth streets, and Cheyenne. Da-
kota, Griggs, lone, L'Hiver, Lulu.
Edith, Ansel, Strong, Norman, Jennie
and Dell avenues.
Street Commissioner Durick today
announced that he had commenced
grading on International avenue. The
thoroughfare is to be completed
through to the city limits.

Cities. Chicago and other eastern
points, returning about September /,
after which they will be at home in

hasten to offer their congratulations
in anticipation of the event.

DOES OR DOES NOT
A VACANCY
EXIST?
Peculiar Legal Problem as to
Member Board of Educa-
ton From New Ward.

A somewhat novel and at the same
time interesting legal question has
arisen in this city concerning the
method of securing member of the
school board in the recently created
Seventh ward. There must be men,
Der of the board from each ward of
the city, and when the Seventh was
created short time ago there was no
member of the board from the same.
The mayor also called a special cleo
ton to fill the vacancies on the city
council and the question has been
raised as to how the member of the
school board will be selected. A prom
inent lawyer of the city was asked
by the Evening Times as to whether
or not there was vacancy in the
board, and while he did not want to
commit himself positively on the mat
ter without investigating, he thought
there was not. This seems to be good
law. Vacancies in offices are under
stood to be caused by death, resigna-
ton or removal. Legislative bodies
when creating new Offices, unless there
already exists provision for the fill
ing of the position, confer the power
on the executive of filling the same by
appointment. 1t would hardly seem
then that there is a vacancy in the
school board as understood in law. If
there were, the board could fill the
same by appointment. But just what
is to be done has not been fully de-
termined, though the matter is more
novel than important, for any method
would be satisfactory to the people
of the city.

A HEAVY DEAL
Duluth Men Join in Purchase
Of 1850 Acres of Can
adian Land.

Heavy deals in Canadian land are
coming to be rather frequent. The
latest was made by L. A. Arbogast, of
the commission firm of Arbogast &
Ball, of Duluth, for himself and other
Zenith city capitalists. Mr.. Arbogast
was visitor in Grand Forks, leaving
for home yesterday. His land lies
north of Regina. Fourteen thousand
three hundred fifty acres were bought
In one tract, the purchase price be-
ing $3.50 per acre.
Mr.. Arbogast, in common with the
many other travellers who have visit
ed the Canadian northwest during the
past two weeks. reports excellent
crops and prospects for a record
breaking year.

streets. They are rough affairs, fash
toned crudely out of unplaned planks,
but they afford resting place for tens
of thousands of wearied pedestrians.
The contest for national commander
is growing warmer, although no great
amount of electioneering has SO far
been done. The friends of Capt. p. H.
Coney of Kansas are making what Is
outwardly the most aggressive cam
paign and claim to be fairly confident
candidates whose names are being
strongly pushed are R. B. Brown of
GAINESVILLE, o., and Charles G. Burton
Of Missouri. There is no contest worth
mentioning for any of the minor Of
fees. A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the G. A. r. was held today
j. to determine matters of routine rela-
tive to the business meeting of the
encampment which commences on
Thursday morning.
1t is expected that considerable de-
bate will result over the recent law
passed by congress driving the can
teen out Of the old soldiers homes.
Chief Tanner is in
favor of the passage of resolution
deprecating the passage of this law,
but strong element in the organiza-
ton Is against such action.
Another feature that may crop up is
the old fight over the proposed erec-
ton by the women of the south of a
statue of Henry Wirz, notorious for
his atrocities while in command at
Andersonville prison. This matter
came up in 1901 and has been more or
less alive ever since. All members of
the Grand Army are vehemently op-
posed to the erection of a statue to
Wirz, who was hanged for his crimes,
but many of them declare that in their
opinion the intention to erect the
statue is not serious and as the matter
now stands. not worthy the considera-
ton which some are disposed to give it.
The campaign for commander is
growing more warm. The adherents
of R. B. Brown of GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
have commenced to push their mansin
an energetic fashion, while the follow
ers of Captain Conroy of Kansas are
confident of electing their candidate.
The followers of Captain Conroy how
ever, express themselves as undis-
mayed, and being confident of the cleo
ton of their candidate. Tonight a
public camp fire will be held in the
auditorium.
