"'(Signed) George NJ. Young"
IF there are others who are suffi-
ciently interested and think it desir-
able to proceed on the basis as out
lined by Senator Young, the college
authorities would very much appre-
ciate their assistance at this time;
otherwise. it will be necessary to wait
and see what the legislature may
choose to do in this matter. If they
should act favorably as they no doubt
will in a matter CT such vital import
ance to the welfare of the agriculture
of the state of North Dakota, it would
still mean that nothing would be done
before the fall of 1907 in the way OF
practical tests, thus delaying one full
year.
THE legislature authorized the in
vestigations to be made. and in the
original bill there was an appropria-
tion for conducting such work. but at
the close of the session it was found
necessary to reduce the amounts of
appropriations for various purposes.
and this bill. although highly recon-
mended.

"Since it was generally stated
through the press of North Dakota
that the agricultural college was pre-
pared to make experiments and test
various grades of wheat, fours, ETC.,
for the people of the state. there have
been large number of inquiries, and
even flours have been sent in by some
OF the mills as we'll as by Individuals
for the purpose of testing" says Pure
Food Commissioner Ladd. MANY of
the farmers are desirous of having
their wheat tested for their flour pro-
ducing qualities. 1t is to be regret
ted that this work cannot, at the pres
ent time, be undertaken, owing to the
fact that It is found unwise to in
stall the mill recently purchased on
the fourth floor of the chemical build

with which to enclose the space which
seems best adapted to the use of this

Mr.. Kruschke was suspicious and noti-
fed the police. The boy was captured
at Sixth avenue West and Superior
street.
The name 'Dennis Brien" was en-
dorsed in very crude manner, and
this fact led the storekeeper to be-
come suspicious. Kruger denied the
forgery when he was locked up.
Employees of the lumber company
say that young Kruger was hanging
about the establishments when the
checks were issued Thursday last,
and 1t is believed that he followed
O'Brien home to West Duluth. The
check is claimed to have been stolen
from O'Brien's room with a quantity
of old clothing. Similar thefts have
been reported to the lumber company
by employees.

Times.
Havana, Sept. 12.-The determinedly
belligerent attitude of the government
has not yet brought resumption of
the fighting, but everybody believes
that real war is yet to come. The only
Offset to this, is the faint hope that
congress may undertake some sort of
negotiation with the insurgents. This,
however, is not likely as congress is
strongly moderate and determined to
stand. absolutely by President Palma.
The veterans peace committee which
has become divided to great extent,
according to the political preferences
of the men composing it, is not likely
to hold any further meetings.
President Palma regards the atti-
tude maintained thus far by President
Roosevelt as entirely correct.
The public regards the coming OF the
cruiser Des Moines with much more
Significance than do the officials of
the government. The most common
expression today is that irrespective
of what is done at present, the United
States must ultimately solve Cubas
problem.
WashinEton's Idea.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 12.-The
critical situation in Cuba is absorbing
the attention of the administration to
the exclusion of all other foreign topics
as Indicated by the activity of the Of
ficials In the state. navy and war de-
partments. The president at Oyster
Bay is keeD:ng in close touch with
every development OF the rtyc ut:olary
movement in Cuba and is in constant
communication by wire with the Off
cials here.
The prime object OF the administra-
tion at present is to get at the facts,
which is no easy task, in view of the
mass of indefinite statements er,anat-
ing from various quarters. Particu-
larly is it desired to know the precise
strength Of the revolutionary senti-
ment in Cuba and the relative powers
OF the government and the insurgents
there. Mr.. Morgan, the American min
lister to Havana, is understood to be
fastening from Europe, where he has
been on vacation. to the Cuban capital,
and meanwhile Mr.. Sleeper, the secre-
tary of the American legation at Ha-
vana, who is acting as charge, is sup
plying the state department with a
daily bulletin containing such facts as
he is able to gather there. 1t is real
ized, however, that Mr.. Sleeper is
bound to accept the official rendition
of the daily collisions between Presi-
dent Palma's troops and the insurgents
in the field. He has no means of secur-
ing the rebels statements Of those
same occurrences, and in the view Of
officials here, there is good reason to
believe that the whole truth is not
disclosed by either side.
SO, as stated today officially, it is
the purpose of the administration to
proceed with great deliberation in
dealing with the Cuban question and
it was said on the highest authority
that there would be no Intervention by
the United State unless the rebellion
assumed the proportions ola general
confagration. ! 1t was further stated
