POTATO CROPS
Said to be Short in the Valley
New Tubers Wholesale
at ST.

Apparently we'll founded reports
give the condition of the potato crop
in the Red river valley as somewhat
critical. The heavy rains of June
have been too much in some sections
for the tubers, and there is every in
dicatiOn of short crop and that of
poor quality. Potatoes We're somewhat
high in price last year. but this year
the chances are the price will be even
higher.

tato crop today, while admitting that
there was smaller acreage sown to
tubers this year than year ago.
stated he did not believe the crop IN
this section was particularly short.
Asked as to whether there was any
truth in the reports of "rot," Mr..
Barnes replied:
So far as | can learn. there is moth
ing to fear from rot. OF course. were
we to get another protracted spell of

WILL HIT THE
BOTTOM
Some Surprises Awaiting Them
in Jarvis Contest
Matter.

1t is evident that Recorder German
will go away back and sit down in the
pursuit of his policy not to recognize
James Jarvis as an alderman. 1t is
fact that German has passed the
limit and that he and those who are
giving him advice will receive one of
the greatest surprises they ever had
when the committee which was ap-
pointed to investigate the validity of
Jarvis seat reports. 1t is said the
committee will report tonight and if
1t does there will be decidedly inter-
esting doings in connection with the
council. The council has been dis
posed to follow the advice of Collins
and will find that his advice in this in
stance is only the prelude to trouble.
Alderman Craig has stated that so far
as he is concerned the matter will be
investigated fairly and everybody be-
lieves he would do just what he says.
The trouble is in the erroneous idea
that certain officers have unlimited
rights and powers. Contempt of court
is pretty serious matter.

where the above action is set for trial
on Saturday and in which Mr.. Bangs
appears for the plaintiff, assisted by
Attorney ,Youngblood of that place. The
action is one arising out of the arrest
and subsequent Imprisonment of Kurtz,
collector, at the instigation of the
bank of Harvey and the other defend
ants party to the action.
The arrest grew out of the allega-
tions set forth by the defendants in
this action that he, while acting in the
capacity of collector, had collected the
sum of 5000 on promissory note
and failed to turn in to the bank the
collection.
Kurtz went to California and was ar
rested there on warrant issued at
the instigation of the bank of Harvey,
brought back and placed in Jail in
Wells county where it is alleged he
remained thirty-two days. The court
held that It had no jurisdiction in the
matter and the prisoner was released.
The present action is brought by him
to recover for damages and is an i'm
portant one, the damages asked being
large and the allegations are made
that the incarceration of Kurtz was
illegal and perniciously carried out.
The case promises to be fought to
a bitter end by the parties thereto
and there is considerable array of legal
talent connected with it.

is DEPLETED
No Money in Wolf Bounty
Fund and Successful Hunt
ers Go Unpaid.

Frank Freeland of Arvilla township,
has a neatly printed piece of paper
in his possession which says that he is
entitled to receive from the county of
Grand Forks the sum of SIS in pay
ment of bounty on the scalps of six
wolves which he smudged out of a
den near his farm and killed. Ordin-
arily the credit of Grand Forks county,
it will be thought, would be sufficient
ly good that a debt of SO small an
amount could be easily liquidated, but
the fact that Freeland is willing to
take 50 or $40 for the engraving which
he is now toting round with him.
indicate that the county is in financial
straits. This is, in a measure, true.
All debts which county accumu-
lates. are set off against certain funds
provided for the purpose of handling
the same. The wolf bounty fund is
provided for by the laws of the state,
and when that fund becomes depleted,
as is the case at the present time, it
is then impossible for the county to
pay even its just debts.
The wolf bounty fund in Grand
Forks county at the present time is
represented by bunch of zeros, in
fact, it is worse off than that, for it
owes not only Freeland, but number
of others. Until this fund shall have
been placed on good financial basis,
which will not be for some time yet,
collectors of wolf scalDs will have to
wait for their reward.
The wolf pest is rapidly being eradi-
Gated in this section of the state and,
it is now quite uncommon for many
bounties to be claimed.
When certificates such as that of
Freeland are issued, banks are some
times willing to cash the same at a
reduction of 20 to 80 per cent. and
wait for the returns until the county

LIFE ON REDONDA ISLE
How Maine Girl Passes Her Time Lonely Island of the
Caribbean Sea Told by Herself

Miss Elizabeth X. Harding, a resi-
dent of the island of Redona, a desert
spot in the Caribbean Sea, is here, on
her way to visit friends in her native
city of Portland, Me-, says the
New York Tribune. Miss Harding
has lived with her father and
mother on this island for the laH
eleven years, her father being the
manager of the phosphate mines there.
In an interview with Tribune re-
porter at the Hotel Darlington Miss
Harding gave the following account of
the drawbacks Incidental to life on a
tiny volcanic island, cut off from the
world:
The island of Redonda is a mere
heap of cinders, a mile in length,
which rises sheer out of the Caribbean
Sea to the height of 1000 feet. The
only thing that grows there in album
dance is healthy kind of prickly pear,
while the wild animals consist mainly
of rats, mice, iguapas, centipedes, scor-
pions, fleas, cockroaches and others of
the same kind. have, however,
managed to live on the island for
eleven years, and have occupied dur
ing that time the unique position Of
being one Of the two women residents
of the place, as against an average of
two hundred men. The white portion
of the population consists of my par
ents, one other American, a native of
California, and myself, all the rest,
who are employed mostly in the mines,
varying in color from pale orange to
jet black
From the sea the island looks so
precipitous that you wonder how any,
thing but a goat could gain foot
hold on the slopes, but on nearer ap-
proach you find that in places it is,
metaphorically speaking, level. But,
nevertheless, the nature of the ground
is such that, while one end of our
house rests on the living rock, the
other is supported on green-heart piles
about twelve feet high

TO POST NO DEVIL BILLS.
Bill Posters Association Has Spasm Of
Reform and Takes Action,

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago, July 1.-THE National
Billposters' association, at it's meeting
here, decided to eliminate devils in all
forms from advertising matter dis
tributed by the association. The prin-
cipal reason given for the action taken
was that such pictures Suggest evil"
II. G. Sanders, of Pittsburg, made the
only objection, saying that his interest
lay entirely in his desire to oppose the
sacrifice of SO large fund of artistic
material as that made available by
pictures of his satanic majesty.
Charles Bernard, of Chicago, secre-
tary-elect of the association, speaking
in psychological vein. dwelt upon the
power Of suggestion in the minds of
youths.
Suggestion and unconscious imita-
ton are the strongest factors in form
ing the child mind" he said, land the
accumulated influence of constantly
seeing hideous pictures of devils, car
rying every suggestion of evil, cannot
be estimated"

BY the way" said Charley Loughin,
the Great Northern yardmaster the
other day." did you ever notice the
methodical numbering observed by the
Great Northern in the case of the
private cars of its officials?
Mr. Hills car is AL" His sons
is "A-2." Then in rotation follow
numbers on the cars OF the general
superintendent. general manager, etc.
The cars of division superintendent
begin with "A-1O." or somewhere
thereabouts, and run up in the
"A-4O's." Between forty and fifty pri-
vate cars are in use over the entire
system. A railroad man can always
tell, even without asking. the rank of
the official in a private car passing
through on any of the trains, simply
by glazing at the number.
