High Water Conditions
Remain Unchanged
Only Slight Rise Was Registered Today-Water
Receding Along the Sheyenne Although
Second Rise Is Looked for.

The high water conditions today
may be said to be featureless. The
rise since the last reports yesterday
has been from five to six inches. From
a. m. until noon today the rise was
about an inch and half and another
official record gives the rise from 6
o'clock last night until s o'clock this
morning as six and half inches.
The report from Haggart this morn
ing was that the water in the Shey-
enne at that point had fallen two
inches yesterday and one inch this
morning.
During last night water gained en-
trance into the residences on Third
street north in the vicinity of Second
and Third avenues, which caused a
moving activity and the making of
arrangements for temporary quarters.
Last night about 3 o'clock, as a
party of women were returning from
an entertainment at Moorhead, via the
north bridge, an ice foe struck the
structure with such force that those
who were walking across the bridge at
the time were glad when they reached
terra firma.
Quite a number of old timers are
heard to say that the present high
water condition is not the one to be
feared. 1t is what may come from the
second rise of the water in the Shey-
enne when the water from the ex-
ceptionally deep SHOWS about Eddy
Benson and Wells counties comes, and
they go SO far as to say that it will
pay, this year, for the city officials to
keep well informed of future condi-
tons of the Sheyenne. The water al

aged Iowa farmer, who said that he
had just purchased forty forties Of
land northwest of Island, and as
soon as he got his bitches construct
ed he would demonstrate that sec
ton to be the greatest producing
section on the globe. | believed
him.
The market is Duluth. The thou
sands Of people on the iron ranges
must be fed, and the best product
nearest grown will be purchased by
the miners. Then Duluth is des-
tined to be quarter Of a million in
ten years, and think Of those mouths
to feed. Then think Of the other
cities and town up there that will
buy of the nearest and expert city
in the country. A person cannot be
dreaming when he states that any
land that can be placed under the
pillow, the cultivator, and the hoe,
must produce the richest crops for
the richest territory, and itself COM
mand the big prices among the
farming lands of Minnesota, or the
entire northwest. j. A. S.

CRISIS HAS PASSED.

New York. Sept 22.-Leaders in
the world of business and finance
who have kept a close watch on the
industrial situation for months past
can see nothing in the ruture in the
nature OF a panic. The general opin-
Ion is that the country is strong. and
that times will continue good. The
following interviews show what lead
ing business men think Of the in
dustriaI and commercial situation.
Charles II. Flint. senior member
Of the firm of Flint & Co. and well
known in the financial world. said
that this country was i'm a position to
withstand a natural contraction. Its
wealth, he said, has never been so
great as II IS today. and while the
big fortunes attract attention. the
bulk OF the money is widely distrib-
uted. which is a guarantee of the fu-
ture. Our wage earners. he pointed
out. have the great cash deposit of
over $2.5OO. 100000 in the savings
banks, and he expressed the opinion
that we have reached the limit Of
a healthy prosperity, and in some
respects have gone beyond II.
Frank Tilford, president OF the
Lincoln Trust Company. and presi-
dent OF Park & Tilford who is I'm
close touch with banking and mer-
camille conditions both I'm New York
and all over the country. thought
the business condition of the country
was sound without n doubt. Collec-
tions in the country districts. he said
were good.
As president of the Lincoln Trust
Company, the views of Mr.. Tilford
on the money outlook are interest
ing. He does not think the money
market will continue tight. He be-
,feN~5 there will be a good mar
ket for money at a fair rate. but
foresees no decided stringency.
Dunont Clarke. president of the
American Exchange National Bank.
Is of the opinion that we have pass
ed througS, critical financial period
but that the situation has improved
greatly. and there is now no fear
of a serious business disturbance
Mr.. Clarke comes in touch with the
world through some thirty corpora
tions with which he is associated as
director or trustee.
There Is decidedly better
outlook than there was two or three
weeks ago" he said. "I see no evil
dences of a widespread business de-
preston. There is no foundation
for such a feeling. Indications point
Ing to serious disturbances. If there
are any have passed away"
Harry s. Black, president OF the
United States Realty and Improve
ment Company, said: There is no
business depression at the present
time. but there is every indication
OF a business curtailment through
out the country"
