DIG TUBERS; SELL AT 81.

Fargo, N. D., May l3.-The cold
weather and deep SHOWS of last
winter benefited the farmers of this
state in peculiar manner. Last fall
the price of potatoes was SO low that
many farmers would not take the
trouble to dig their crops. Now
THAI the price has gone up, however,
the farmers are digging the crop
which has lain in the ground all
winter. The heavy snow protected
the potatoes and kept them from
freezing and they are being taken
from the earth in as good if not
better condition than they would
have been last fall. And the farm
ers are getting 81 bushel for the
tubers as against offers Of twenty
cents last fall.

VIKING CHORUS CONCERT.

The concert given in the opera
house last Friday evening by the
Viking Chorus Of Crookston was d
musical entertainment OF q very
high order and deserved a much
larger audience than had gathered to
greet the singers from our neighbor-
ing city. The chorus under the
leadership Of Rev. 7. L. Owe and
Mr.. O. w. Peterson have improved
very much since thir appearance in
our city last year. Every number in
the excellent program was sang we'll
and greeted with hearty applause.
Next time this musical aggregation
fayors our city with a concert they
will no doubt have a larger audience
to listen to them.

! GOOD MAN GONE.
Peter Sinclair, an hohored and
Respected Citizen Dies After
/. .. Short Illness ..... .

The death of Peter Sinclair after
only a few days illness came as a
shock to the people Of this city. He
had been seen about town on Mon
day, when he was as cheerful an6
jolly as ever, and few really knew:that
his sickness was of so serious a
nature. A day or two before, how
ever. he had sustained a bad fall in
the elevator, from which he received
several bruises on his body, and of
which he had complained to intimate
friends. but neither he nor they con-
sidered this serious, but it may have
contributed to weaken his system,
so that it could not withstand the
attack of typhoid-pneumonia which
was the cause of death.
Peter Sinclair was born at liver
ton. County of Bruce, Ontario,
Canada, July 9, 1854. With other
members Of the family he came west
in 1882, and located at St. Thomas,
n. d., removing from there to
Merriheld, n. d., to engage in the
grain business.
In 1893 or 4 he came to Warren to
take charge of the Interstate elevator,
a position in which he continued up
to the time of death. which fact
alone speaks louder than words OF his
taithfulness, devotion to duty and
business qualifications. He was
liked by all who ever had any deal
ings with him, and his genial and
cheerful frame Of mind will always
be remembered by those who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance.
His first wife was Miss Jessie
Cameron to whom he was married
at Tiverton Ont. She died in 1892.
In 1896 he was united in marriage to
Miss Elizabeth Wees of this city,
who together with son, and a
daughter from the first marriage,
mourn the death of a kind and
devoted husband and father.
The funeral was held on Saturday,
at 200 p. m. from the late home,
under the auspices of the Oddfellow
lodge OF which deceased was men,
ber. Rev. Grant Stroh, of the Pres
byterian church preached the funeral
sermon. The pail bearers were Chas.

his cousin Dan Sinclair. Of Grand
Forks. besides other relatives and
friends from Grand Forks, Argyle,
Stephen and elsewhere. and reple-
sentatives of the Argyle and Stephen
lodges, were present at the funeral.
The Warren OddfelloW lodge attended
in a body; also business men and
citizens to large number. In the
death of Peter Sinclair, good, use
full citizen has been removed from
our midst. He will be greatly miss
ed. To his sorrowing wife and child

TREE fruit CROP
DEAD IN south west
BUSH FRUITS, STRAWBERRIES
AND GRAPES ALMOST
DESTROYED.
Result Of the Late Killing Frosts-
Conditions in Michigan and indi.
ana Are Not So Bad As Had Been
Feared.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 13.-Reports
rom all parts of Kansas, western Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Indicate almost complete destruction
5y frost of tree fruit crops, and serio-
.,.ls injury to bush fruits, grapes and
-:rawberries.
lender garden plants throughout
the southwest were destroyed, but
mis- causes small direct loss and the
growers have already replanted. The
replanted fields will not be yielding
produce until summer, however, and
the Gulf states will send vegetables
and small fruits north for several
weeks longer than in usual seasons.
At the beginning of May there was
nope that late blooming apples would
escape, but the killing freeze of May
:, when the temperature fell to %
degrees, with snow crusted on the
trees, completed the havoc. .....
Michigan Fruit Not Killed.
Detroit, May 13.-Although the un'
usual cold which has prevailed ia
Michigan thus far this spring has put
fruit and vegetables month behind
their normal condition at this time, re-
ports agree that the fruit crop will be
far from total failure. Opinions diff.
Ter as to the amount Of actual damage
caused by the unusual cold. The most
pessimistic prediction is made in the
state crop report for April, issued last
week. It says that fruit correspond
ents throughout the state sgenerally
complain of trees being damaged by,
the freeze of last October, followed
by the severe frosts and cold of April,
which came after a mild period late
in March which softened the buds
somewhat. The report says that these
frosts, coupled with the damage done
by San Jose scale and other pests
make the prospects for the fruit crop
rather @discouraging. r ..s.zex...,- :, ..-
On the other hand, inquiry among
the fruit growers and commission men
about Grand Rapids, which is in the
center of the Michigan fruit belt, ins
dicates that they look for an average
crop of peaches, pears, plums and ap-
pies, with generous crop of berries.
It is the opinion there that the states
vegetable crop will be very late, as
comparatively few farmers have been
able to plant as yet.
Not So Bad in Indiana.
indianapolis, Ind, May 13.-Reports
received from every county in
the state show that, there was undue
alarm for the fruia, grain and vegeta-
BILE crops in Indiana on account of
unreasonable April weather. With the
warm weather now arrived more care
full estimates can be made. The fruit
crop has been seriously damaged, but
has not been killed. New buds have
appeared on the trees, bushes and
vines, and there will be fair crop Of
Indiana strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries, peaches, pears, plums and
cherries, Vegetables are three or four
weeks behind their usual development
at this time. Good weather from now
on will, it is believed, mature a fair
crop, though the general estimate is a
loss Of, from 80 to 40 per cent There
will be IS per cent. wheat crop as
compared with last year.

at the Senate hearing Mr.. Corbin is said
to have told some persons that Mr.. Ber-
gen had drawn the amendment TO the
original bill and that 1t applied only to
the Middlesex Water Company, and when
no copies Of the amended bill could be
gotten and nobody seemed to realize the
purpose of the act but the water company
representatives, a niger In the wood
pile was thought to be discovered.
Further investigation by the Railway
people ELECTED the information that the act
was signed by Governor Stokes June IL,
allowing the Consumers Adueduct Com
pany time to file their plans for approval
within three months after the approval OF
the act. That makes the limit September
II, at which time the reservoir owned by
the Voorhees, orbin- Bergen combination
shall be completed.
The Railway authorities feel that the
situation now and to be enjoyed, unless
the bill is amended. Is just right for the
Middlesex Water Company and the Con-
sumers' Aqueduct Company to control
eventually the entire Delaware River water
supply.
An amendment to the law to prevent
these two companies from obtaining any
rights that may belong to the city of
Railway seems to be the only solution,
,nnd the Council will do everything to have
the offensive clause cut out of the bill.

Frank A. Wenzel, of 70 Peshine ave-

Market street. is at his office, after
having recovered from a dangerous OPP
Grafton performed at his residence on
June IL. He reached his desk for the
first time since the operation. on Mon
day. Mr.. Wenzel had been suffering
from the malady which necessitated the
operation, for some time previous to
June II. He let the malndy develop
until the last minute, and when he
consulted Drs. William O. Brady, Of
Littleton and South Orange avenues,
and Edward Seeley, of 1853 Washing
ton street, they advised him that an
immediate operation was imperative.
The physicians went to Mr.. Wenzels
house Tune II. a room having been
fitted up with everything necessary for
an operation. "a professional nurse was
in attendance. In the operation which
the patient underwent the incision is
made in the back. but in the present
case the physicians adopted the novel
method of making h incision from the
abdomen. They were successful, get
ting at the root of Mr.. Wenzel's trouble
in short order and removing a foreign
substance which would probably a v

Mr.. Wenzel. aided by a robust con-
stitution and the skillful work OF the
physicians, gained strength rapidly. A
nurse was in attendance upon him for
three weeks.

SAVES ON
II CONTRACTS
FOR PAVING
Share Of Total Put at
$5l,lS2 in Tentative Table
Submitted Today.

The tentative contracts for the paving of
seventeen of the city streets were filed to-
day with the Board of Works. Hearings
will be given on the contracts by the board
in the near future. and II no objection Is
made the figures given by the contractors
will be finally approved.
The paving works will he done under
the Jersey City Paving Act.
According to the figures compiled by
City Auditor George Forman, the city is
far more fortunate with this batch of con-
tracts than with former ones. Out of a
total cost of s165. 217.45 for the paving of
Avon, Ridgewood. Chadwick, Farley,
Treacy and Baldwin avenues the city has
to bear $37, SS5. ~ as its share OF the work.
Comparing those figures with close of the
present batch there is q marked falling
off in the percentage of cost.
Out Of the total sum of $29S. 191.0 6 for
those seventeen streets. the city is obliged
to pay only SOL. 1872. 90.
The reason for the decreased cost to the
city is that the streets to be paved are ex-
t~ensively populated. and the property hold
ers there will bear the greater burden of
the cost.
The following table shows the cost per
city lot. the cost hxed by the assessment
commissioners and the amount to be borne
by the city in the tax levy:

LOWER VALUATION
OF P. S. C. PROPERTY IN
BLOOMFIELD.
Company in Its Statement Values Lines
at But Little More Than Half
of Last Years Valuation.

In line with its work in securing
statements from the Public Service
Corporation as to the valuations of its
property the County Tax Board office
today received figures covering its ines
in Bloomfield. They were submitted
through Town Clerk William p. Raab,
who got them from the company. 1t
is likely that they will be acted upon
at a meeting of the board to he held
next Monday morning at II o'clock,
together with the other statements
submitted through other municipalities.
AS in nearly all of the other state
ments there is a remarkably low valua-
ton as compared with last year, and
the reason for this is just what the
board wants to get at and Jack up"
the corporation If it has power to do
so.
For its three and a half miles of
track, etc. in Bloomfield the North Jer-
sey Street Railway Company paid on
an assessed valuation last yea of
$780, 900. while the Orange and passaic
Valley Railway Company. a subsidiary
concern. paid for its two miles on a
valuation of 2 $500. This year how
ever, the first named company places
its valuation at only s32, 590.51 and the
latter a S12, s63.41.
