All EngIand's Fighting ships Are

London, Jan. 1S.-An EngIand's fight

epistle penned to BTitons by the lords
of the admiralty. If Britons are ever
to be slaves it will not be the fault or

No one with the slightest acquaint-
ance with the feet doubts that it is in a
position to strike a far more instant and
paralyzing blow than was the case
twelve months ago, and yet this years

year.
Lord Cawdor says.
"At the present time strategic re-
quirements necessitate an output of four
large armored ships annually and un-
less unforeseen contingencies arise, this
numb win not be exceeded The period
of building is to be two years. and
therefore. four ships will be laid down
each year, and there viii be eight ships
in course of construction in any one
year either in the dockyards or by con-
tract The board has come to the con-
clusion that the right policy IS to make
out their programme OF Snlpbuiiolng 1of
the next yeay only and while they au-
ticipate at present that the output OF
four large armored ships q year should
suffice to meet our requirements, there
would be no difficulty whatever in in
creasing this output TO whatever extent
may be necessary in consequence of any
increase of naval power abroad.

vigorous campaign against blind
pigs which flourish in that section of
Minot between Main street on the
east and Jarvis street on the west,
commonly known as 1.-The HILL" will
be started as a result Of the action
of the city council in ordering a "clean
up of the places where the law is
most fagrantly violated, says the
Minot Optic.
Pursuant to an order from Mayor
Greenleaf. Chief of Police Hagen gave
the blind piggers ten days in which

tiles that they intended to obey the
law. Mayor Greenleaf said:
The blind pig problem is a difficult
one. There is no question that it is
time to do something to improve con-
ditions in this city. Although do not
believe that the situation in Minot is
any worse than in any other city of its
size In North Dakota. still believe
that we should do something to pre-
vent fragrant violations of the law.
This matter was discussed by the
city council and it seemed to be the
general opinion that there should be
clean up in certain sections of the
city. Pursuant to the opinion of the
councilmen. have ordered the police
to compel the offenders to obey the
law or leave the CITY,"
The condition of affairs in Minot has
been misunderstood by some Of the
country newspapers, and as result
some injustice has been done. There
are probably no more blind pigs in
Minot according to the size of the city
than In the average North Dakota
city or village. The absolute enforce
ment of the law is most difficult If not
impossible.

SWIPED GASES
Bold Theft Reported to Police
by Grand Forks Trunk
Factory,

Last evening there was quite a
ruffle and hustle at the Great North
ern depot when the police detained for
few moments a young gentleman
who has been tending bar in one of
the East Side saloons, and his fair
lady love. both bound for our sister
city on the south. A little brown suit
case, size %, was the cause of it ALL
Early this evening the police were in
formed that two suit cases., one
valued at SIP and the other at IS had
been stolen from the Grand Forks
Trunk factory on South Third street,
and consequently were on the look
out for two just such looking articles.
John Ross the owner of the factory was
also on hand, and noticing what he
thought was one of his stolen suit
cases he called the police and the air
was soon filled with espcstulations,
denials and hard threats. After
thoroughly examining the article and
taking minute notes on all marks, and
incidently exposing the vulgar gaze
sunday articles of wearing apparel
and drinkables, Mr.. Ross finally de-
cided that the suit case was just two
sizes too small to fit the description.
To the Evening Times reporter Mr..
Ross said, that in the afternoon about
. o'clock while on the street less than
a block distant from his trunk estab-
lishment he noticed a man coming out
OF the factory carrying two suit cases.
Mr.. Ross thinking the man had pur-
chased them, hardly gave the matter a
second thought until his clerk had in
formed him when he entered the shop
that two small suit cases were miss
Ing. Mr. Ross at once got on the track
of the thief, but a thorough search
failed to reveal his whereabouts, SO he
Immediately reported the affair to the

Nine Tenths Of the Grain Ripe
Enough to be in the
Shock.

1t is safe statement that almost
nine-tenths of the grain in the Sec
ton Of the state Is now ripe enough
to be in the shock. The intense heat
Of last week ripened 1t very quickly
and harvesting, already in progress
before the hot weather, is now being
vigorously pushed. Nearly all the
farmers near this city we're busy yes
terday and today cutting and shock
ing grain and. II the weather Is good
the rest of the week. harvesting will
have been pretty we'll finished.
Many parties have been out through
the country since the hot spell of last
week and though there are spots
where the grain Isl seriously injured,
the general belief seems to be that the
intense heat was not SO injurious as
at first reported. In some fields near
Buxton the grain is badly shefled and
the. losses in that neighborhooi will
amount to many thousands of dollars.
Some. but very little of the late sown
grains seem to be affected with rust.
Very much Of the grain was sown
early and consequently was partly
harvested when the hot wave struck,
so there will not be much damage to
it. Most of the kernels this year are
plump. and indications point to high
grade of wheat
Although harvesting is not yet CON-
pleted. threshing rigs all over the
county are being fired up and moved
to the first stopping place. and in some
few localities they are already at
work. The threshers do not like to
start threshing the early grains be-
fore all are ready for this necessitates
coming back second time for the
wheat. -
