Many of the people who attended the
Winnipeg fair last week express them
selves as being disappointed with the way
it was being conducted, and this is
claimed to be the general opinion of a
large number of it's attendance. Exor-
bitant prices were charged for every
thing and the attractions were much in
ferior to those of former years. Winni-
peg has enjoyed large attendance at its
exhibitions in the past and people were
pretty we'll satisfied. Last, year they
made their first mistake by trying to
hold the crowd there two weeks, which
in itself showed greed. Lead the people
to believe they are being duped and all
attractions money can produce will not
counteract it.

The reporter has interviewed large
number of persons from different parts
of the county in reference to the pro-
poets of the crop. The replies have been
almost invariably pessimistic. The con-
census of the opinions seems to be that
Pembina county under present prospects
is good for half a crop, by which they
mean from six to eight bushels per
acre. There are some good fields in
spots, in Iced some that never looked
better in recent years, but on the other
hand there is considerable that ought
to be plowed in All say the crop is
late and that an early frost would cut
down much grain

DEALING FOR

Promoters Of New Cement
Company Wish to
Acquire Boat

The proposition to turn the steamer |
Mountain Gem into the new cement
company now being organized will be |
pesented to the directors Of the Eureka |
Mining company, the Fargo Mining |
company and the Commercial Trust
company, the present owners of the
boat.
The meeting of the stockholders OF
the Lewiston Navigation company was
called for last night and but few OF
the stockholders or creditors Of thel
/ company were present 1t was the
4 purpose Of the meeting to present a.
proposition at this meeting to turn
1 the boat into the cement company with
an understanding that the original
owners of the boat should receive stock
in the new industry for the money
they had placed in the boat project.
ON account Of the failure OF the stock
holders or creditors to respond to the
call last night the proposition will be
taken up with the boat owners within
a short time.
I'VE believe we could suggest a plan
by which the people who subscribed
money for the construction Of the
boat could get their money back" said
Mr.. Bender, this morning. CAS- the
matter now stands the boat is owned
by the three companies by purchase at
the foreclosure sale.
I'VE are going to install boat serv-
ice for the development of our proper

PRAIOIE STOCK
SHIPPED EAST
GrangeVille Country Now
Scene Great Industrial
Activity

Robert Jones of the firm of Bales Il
Jones arrived last night from Grange
vile. The firm will make a 20-car
shpm ent of cattle from Lewiston on
June I, the stock having been pur-
chased in the Pomeroy, Asotin and Neg
Perez prairie sections.
We are making the shipment to
Mandah n. D., where the stock will
be run on the Indian reservation" sa. ID
Mr.. Jones last night, but have about
al of the cattle we will buy in the
Lewiston country.
we have received quotations from
south Idaho and from eastern oregon
points, and find we can buy cheaper
there than we are getting stock in this
country, so expect to confine our fu-
ture purchases to that part of the
country"
Mr.. Jones states the crop outlook in
all parts of the prairie country is very
encouraging, and farmers are already
making preparat, ons for a big yield.
The recent rain has insured all fall
grain, and the spring seeding is of an
excellent color with good prospects of
fine crop.
The labor situation in the upper
country is still embarrassing farming
operations to some extent where large
areas of summer falow land are yet to
/ be plowed. The labor fam ne has been
caused by the demand for men in the
railroad camps, where the laborer can
make more money than the farmer can
afford to pay for Rowing.
The railroad company is shipping in
large numbers of men from Eastern
farming districts, and it is quite prob
able that many of these laborers will
prefer the farm work to the camp life
On this account the farmers have nc
fears relative to their inability to Sc
cure assistance when the harvest
opens, as prices for farm work viii
then be above that of railroad con-
struction. and large numbers of mer
now in the camps will seek employ,
ment in the harvest fields.

The mystery OF the spiral nebulae of

rejects the theory that they are true me-

are gaseous nebulae at all. while II Is
by no means certain that nebulae form
