The hail losses in North Dakota tn

year are higher than for the past eight
years, declares State Insurance Com
missioner E. G. Cooper. The insurance
companies have not been as hard hit as
in 1899, he states however for the reason
that the insurance carried this year was
light in comparison with 1899. Despite
the fact that the losses will greatly ex-
ceed the premiums, Commissioner
Cooper believes no company will be

CAVALIER COUNTY has suffered more
severely by hail during the past couple
of weeks than at any time within the
recollection of pioneer residents. There
is still, however, quite a large crop to be
harvested. The only total losses reported
occurred on the forenoon of Saturday,
August 10th, which cleaned out the
crops over a strip ranging from one to
three miles in width through the eastern
half of the county, from Rosa Lake in a
southeast direction to the county line
between Cavalier and Pembina. The
path of the storm is plainly marked
through Manila, Hay and the south
half of Olga townships.

Tile TURN I'M The lane.

says the proverb. 1t looked for years as
if the Standard Oil Company was an ex-
ception to the rule: it violated every law
human and divine: it bankrupted rivals
and Impoverished producers: it extorted
from the public; it coerced railroads
into violations of state and federal
statutes: 1t overawed courts and sub
sldized the churches, the colleges and
the press. But the turn has come at

thirty times the capital stock of the
subordinate corporation through which
the Standard acted. and is about equal
to eight months dividends of the bic

the fine is still more important; other
judges will take notice and the Judge
who shows leniency will have to explain
why. 1t is the beginning of the end.

For the next week or ten days a
variation of a very few degrees in
temperature will be a matter of great
moment. Judging from early reports
the northern part of North Dakota, and
northern Minnesota as we'll, came with
IN a very few degrees of a serious
disaster from frost on Monday and
Tuesday nights, but while numerous
localities report light frosts the damage
appears to have been but slight. With
in a very few days the Cavalier county
crops which have escaped the hail will
be we'll out of the reach of frost and
those directly or indirectly interested
may breathe easier again.

If Tom Marshall is so much better
and cleaner than Hansbrough and Nc,
Kenzie, how does it happen that he has
always been found as a factor in their
political combinations? Mr.. Marshall
is just as willing to do anything to get
an office as Mr.. Hansbrough and they
both aspire to the same office. The only
%preceptible difference is that Marshall
is willing to take a lesser office if he
can't get the greater, while Hansbrough
wants the senatorshtp or nothing.

that time. Considerable wheat, in fact
