CONFERENCE IS: OPENED
NORTHWESTERN BIBLE MEET
INGs WITH PROMINENT SPEAK
ERs IN ATTENDANCE, WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL AUG, 8.

Christ Is second coming cannot be
foretold with accuracy, and those who
profess to do SO are dangerous leaders,
but there are certain events of the
present day which are harbingers of it's
approach, declared Rev. A. G. Gabelein
in his address before the opening meet
ing of the Northwestern Bible confer
ence at the state fair grounds yester-
day. The conference opened yesterday
and will remain in session thru Aug. 5.
Mr.. Gabelein pointed to the fact that
$1,000 Jews had been slaughtered while
Christian nations stood by, as portent
of the second coming. He also declared
that the immortality, hypocrisy and Gym
icism of the modern world pointed to
a sudden Judgment. He insisted that
the promises Of second coming must
be taken literally and not in a fgura'
tive sense.
The opening audience was large
about eight hundred persons being in
attendance, and everything points to q
conference more successful than that
in machinery hall when the weather is
pleasant. At other times they will be
held in one of the enclosed buildings
which has been fitted up for that pur'
pose. One of the smaller buildings has

CROP CONDITION
GOOD in VALLEY
BLACK RUST CAUSES SOME DIS
TRUST.
Kittson County Promises to Lead State
in Comparative Showing and Yield
will Be Anywhere from Thirty Bush
els Up-Barley and Flax Acreage
Large Because Of Wet Spring.

That part Of Minnesota embraced In
the north end Of the Red River valley.
where the crops have been late and
uncertain, has improved materially
within the last few days, and, accord
ing to e. A. Nelson, former state libra
rian, who has a large farm at Hallock,
the results will be satisfactory. Mr..
Nelson, who was in Minneapolis yester-
day, says the valley has the black rust
in several spots, and, as last Thursday
was hot and muggy day, it got a
start. How much injury it did cannot
yet be determined. The farmers are
nervous about the rust, but the crops
are maturing, and with good weather
will come thru all right.
Harvesting will begin in about three
weeks in the more northern counties.
Kittson, Mr.. Nelson believes, will prove
the banner Minnesota county this year,
and will be able to make the best com
parative showing in the fall, for there
are some fields Of wheat so good that,
with fair weather to harvest, they will
yield thirty bushels to the acre, and the
general average for the county will be
higher than last year by many bushels.
From Breckenridge up TO Warren
there is strip Of important land that
has yet to pass critical period. More
barley and fax has been seeded in this
territory because the early season was
wet and wheat could not be put in
until late, except on high ground.

GREGG HAS SCHEME TO
KILL WILD MUSTARD

Wild mustard, the bugbear Of the
northwestern farmer, may be eradi-
Gated from grain fields by spraying the
grain with a solution of sulphate Of
Iron. This is the announcement of O.
G. Gregg, superintendent of the state
farmers institution, who has been con-
farm in Lynd, Lyon county: Mr.. Gregg
that the mustard pest can be killed by
using the sulphate of iron solution.
Farmers who have waged war against
the wild mustard will appreciate the i'm
portance Of Mr.. Gregg's discovery. Sc
the mustard spreads rapidly, and I'M
to seed, it will cover the whole field
within few years. Different methods
of DISCRIMINATING the pest have been
resorted to, but none seems entirely
satisfactory, as the mustard seeds are
tenacious and the plant is prolific.
The method used by Mr.. Gregg in
killing the mustard is simple: When
the grain was about four inches high
and the mustard plants had developed
three leaves, he sprayed his fields with
the sulphate of iron solution and found
that the mustard was destroyed while
the grain was not affected. The only
difficulty he has encountered has beer
in procuring machinery which would dc
the work Of spraying cheaply and eco
nomically. ;.
Mr.. Gregg will discuss his expert
ments at the farmers Institutes to be
held next winter. .... -.

HER0NS ARE FISH.EATERS
STATE GAME AND FISH COMMITS
SION OBTAINS DAMAGING EVIL
DENCE AGAINST TONKA BIRDS.

Thousands Of fish are taken from the
waters Of Lake Minnetonka every day
by the herons and cormorants on Crane
island. This is the conclusion reached
by S. F. Fullerton, executive agent of
the state game and fish commission.
He has received a report from DR..
Palmer, chief Of the bureau of animal
industry at Washington, to whom the
crops Of number of birds recently
killed were sent for analysis. + =
Dr.. Palmer reports that the crops
contained nothing but fish,. which are
apparently the exclusive diet of the
birds. The bureau will make some
further investigation to learn what
kind Of fish are eaten and how many.
Professor F. L. Washburn, state en-
tomologist, writes to the commission to
tell the experience Of young man who
visited the island. He found thirty
nests in one tree, and the ground be-
meath was strewed with fish bones. He
found two fish in the crop Of one heron
he killed, and the other had fish bones
in it's crop. Another bird was shot while
returning to it's nest with a fine black
bass. 49,
These reports will be taken under
consideration by the game and fish com
mission, which will probably decide that
the heron and, cormorants ought to be
extermnated. DO - az .; ',4 ..ss

|DURYEA SEEKS
BETTER STREETS
POINTS OUT WHERE MONEY rs
WASTED.
Believes that Every Dollar Spent or
Road Work Should Stay Put, in Time
Securing as Good Highways in Town
as in Country-Much Money Wasted.

Good roads are fully as essential in
the city as in the country, in the opin.
ion Of. Alderman j. H. Duryea Of the
tenth ward. He has introduced an or
dinance in the city council providing
that all road improvements in the fu-
ture shall be of permanent character,
and that the work shall be done under
the srsGh IN ta as ea in the
different wards Of the city is a strange
process" says Mr.. Duryea "Where
black loan is plentiful, heap Of it is
thrown up in the middle Of the street.
Where clay is plentiful, it is treated
the same way. Whichever material is
most plentiful is used, no matter how
useless it may be. Well, this method
does not obtain good roads nor even
fair roads. r..
Make Dollars Count.
"My idea is that every dollar spent
for road work in this city should be
devoted to making permanent roads. 1t
is a waste of money to throw a lot of
mud, loan and clay together. The good
direction of the city engineer for the
last two seasons, shows what can be &C.
complished by the use of proper ma
terials intelligently used.
"Of course, good gravel and crushed
granite cost considerably. more than
mud and clay. but there is this differ
ence: ten years Of the latter gives a
long stretch Of mud streets, impassa-
larly desirable in dry weather. Ten
years Of common sense and modern
roadwork would give each ward a fair
amount of frst-class streets.
cit is much cheaper to keep a good
street in repair than poor one, and it
is the highest possible economy to make
good streets. It is my plan that ar
engagements should be, made with the

Fire, said to have been started by
two boys, yesterday afternoon destroyed

avenue and Twenty-ninth street, par
TALLY burned the waiting station of the
st. Louis Park and Hopkins electric
railway and damaged the line by burn
nections, and put many telephones out
of commission by burning poles and
wires which crossed the lumber yard.
The. fire was discovered about 2 pm.
Two boys were seen to run rapidly
away from the lumber sheds along the
st. Louis Park electric lines, and few
minutes later smoke and flames were
found to be issuing from the sheds on
the north side Of the yard.
Wind Fans Flames.
Owing to the infammable nature Of
the material the fire was fierce one.
There was stiff wind from the north
west, and the heat and smoke, and
many bits Of burning wood were carried
far to the southeast, directly across the
group Of business buildings at Lake
street and Hennepin avenue and en-
dangering them and the residences in
that neighborhood.
Five engines and several chemical
and ladder companies were called be-
fore the flames were subdued. While
the fremen did not have hard prob
lem, the fire was stubborn and the heat
was intense. The steamers cared for
the main blaze, the fremen gradually
subduing the fire until the last flick
ering flame was out. That was late in
the evening, and by that time there was
nothing left of the fine stock of lum-
Der excepting heaps Of charred boards.
Meantime, the chemical and ladder
companies took care that flying cinders
did not set fires to surrounding proper
ty. Householders with lines Of garden
hose did yoeman service in keeping
roofs wet.
Seven Of the company's horses were
in the stables in the yard, but en-
ployees led them out unframed.
Loss Is $4,000.
The loss to the lumber company is
estimated at $4,000 on which there is
$4,000 insurance.
The excitement Of the fire attracted
large crowds of men, women and chill
