DICKINSON OPERA
HOUSE IS SOLD
FRANK kim SELLS TO REICH
ERT AND RAY OF THE ST.
CHARLES HOTEL.

Dickinson Post: BY the terms of a
deal consummated Monday morning,
the ownership of the Dickinson opera
house property passed from Frank
Kihm to Henry Reichert and W. r.
Ray, proprietors of the st. Charles
The consideration, it is understood
ran into five figures. The transfer
of the property to the well known
hotel man marks the first steps in the
prosecution of an improvement pro-
gram that will not only make the st.
Charles one of the largest hostelries
in the state, but will, as well, contrib
ute greatly to the appearance of Vii
lard street.
The purchase of the opera house
gives Reichert and Ray possession of
a frontage on Willard street of lz5
feet. The vacant lot just east of the
opera house has been the property of
the hotel men for some time. Ali
that was needed to obtain an uninter-
rupted frontage on the principal thor
oughfare of the city was the purchase
of the playhouse.
In the course of the next few weeks
the opera house is to be moved over
and located back from the street or
the vacant lot. The stage is to be en-
larged considerably, dressing rooms

THE HARVESTER TRUST.
GREAT LEGAL BATTLE IN KANs-

STAGE.
DISPUTE IN WHICH HALF A
DOZEN STATES ARE
INTERESTED.

Chicago, June 1.-The legal battle
between the $120,O00,OOO harvester
trust and the state Of Kansas, which
has reached its final stage with the
taking of testimony in this city, is de-
veloping many interesting facts about
the companys' agency methods. At
torney General Fred s. jackson of
Kansas charges that the various COM
panies that go to make up the Inter
national Harvester Co. have effected
a combination in restraint of trade and
have raised prices and compelled
agents to handle only their goods. In
its effort to rsfute these contentious
the big corporation has offered at
last to throw open its books to the
prosecution and the testimony that
has just been taken here before Spe-
cial Commissioner Henry e. Ganse
will probably finally settle one way or
the other matter which has been the
subject of important litigation in half
a dozen states. The majority of the
witnesses were agents of the company
who testified that no attempt was
made to regulate retail prices and that
the so-called exclusive contracts
were dead letter and were not en-
forced. Under cross-examination the
fact davalOned however that nricas

agencies established outside the state
lines, but the. company contends thai

on the farmers, who already have
trouble in securing the 5000 or 1900
hands needed for the harvest every
year. No decision will be reached il

referred to the Kansas supreme court
which has the case under considera

THE WORLD DRYING UP.
Possibility That the Human Race Will
Die of Thirst.

We are, to die of thirst Compare
lively few persons know the suffering
involved in thirst for which there is
no help at hand. The consuming thirst
more than the pain of any wound
makes the battlefield hell. Yet death
by thirst is the doom forecast for the
race by grim scientists. Biologists
find that the fresh water supply of the
globe is falling. They have data which
point to the gradual withdrawal OF the
streams and other bodies of water
from the surface. Both in Africa and
central Asia and, indeed, In all the
great levels the water beds are drying
up. A great number of lakes well
known in the historical age have en-
tirely disappeared. For example, Lake
Chiroua, in Africa, has vanished with
in recent years, as has also Lake
Ngamj. discovered by Livingstone.
Lake Tchad is more than half dried
up. For centuries bodies of water In
central Asia have been eyaporating
and the deserts extending. Where
1000 years ago great cities stood in
east Turkestan there are found only
vast and depressing stretches Of sand.
The river Tarim, once principal Ash
attic route, is almost gone, and Lob
Nor, formerly four times the area of
Lake Geneva, is now but shallow
marsh. The same sad conditions are
noted in European Russia. Noygorod,
the most pushing city In the cars dis
tracted realm, was surrounded by wa
ter In the middle ages. While we may
be sure that the fate which the geolo-
gists suggest for humanity is very far
away, the facts recited to show the
drying up process are convincing proofs
Of the need Of preserving our forests
with more care. st Paul Pioneer

One must be shrewd, but not too

oneself, like Captain Harrow of Isles

Captain Harrow Of Islesborough
was trading at Key West in small
vessel. Business took him up the coast
to Tampa bay, and he bought twenty
dozen chickens from a farmer at 81 a
dozen
"The chickens were all sizes-some a
few days old and no bigger than ca
nary birds; some fat and large, like
turkey gobblers. The captain expect
ed to make a lot Of lroney out of
them. He was very shrewd at trade,
"Well, at Key West a hotel man
came aboard and looked the chickens
over.
They are fine BIRDS he said. How
muchy
elf you pick them out yourself
said Captain Harrow shrewdly. I'll
have to charge you So a dozen. If !.
pick them out. can let you have them
for 49,
All right You pick them out, said
the hotel man.
Captain Harrow picked out a dozen
chickens of the canary bird size.
Here you are, twelve prime broil-
ers,' he said, with leer.
"Go ahead said the hotel man calm
"; another dozen
"The next dozen was of necessity
larger.s
Go on said the hotel man. Keep
on picking them out
.tAnd the third dozen was larger still.
The captain looked at his patron anx-
iously.
Keep right on
s'The next dozen was fine and plump.
and the next comprised the biggest
| and latest Of the chickens.
Keep right on picking them out,
captain

how he had overreached himself. The
hotel man bought his whole lot OF
chickens at So. and thus the captain

LOSS FOR SINGLE INDUSTRY.
Business Ruined, Says Manufactures
il Tariff Is Abolished.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 23.-Failure OF
the railroads to perform their common
carrier obligations is declared by r. w.
Douglas, a single manufacturer of this
state, to be the cause of the decrease
in single exports from the Pacific
northwest the past three years. In 1903,
the state of Washington produced 68.6
of the entire single output of the
United States. In 1906 the percentage
dropped to 615, and in 1907 the single
exports from this state fell to SIS per
cent.
Mr. Douglas attributes this decrease
to the railroads failure to deliver the
shipments promptly and to the low tar
iff on shingles from British Columbia
After detailed study of the Single
industry in Washington, Mr.. Douglas
has compiled a table which shows that
the single shipments from Washing
ton dropped from $3.50 car loads in
1905 to 34,443 car loads in 1907. An
average car load is estimated to equal
100000 shingles.
eff the tariff were abolished" he
declares, "the Washington shingle in
dustry would be ruined, even tho the
Canadian government should immedl-
ately place an export tariff of 30 cents
a 1000. on shingles exported to the
United States"

butcher Cattle Steady at Out
set, But Activity Was OF
Short Duration
HOGS ACTIVE AND STRONG
Prices in That Market Were Generally
Five Higher, and Trading Was
Largely of Speculative Character
Steady Demand for Sheep and Good
Market for Prime Lambs.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Cattle were weak
and dull. Butcher cattle were steady at
the outset, and generally sold well, but
the activity was of short duration.
The decrease from last week has
been well in order, since poultry con-
sumption is effecting beef trade to a
considerable extent, and buyers claim
beef is not moving as freely as they
had anticipated Particularly is this
true of the eastern situation.
Yearlings and fat handy weight
steers have first call in all quarters
where orders are for the good to choice
grades. This was proven in the Mon
day market, when the heavyweights OF
good to choice quality were hard to
move and closed weak and lower
against steady to tirmer range OF
prices for the kinds most in demand.
The outlet for the lower priced steers
just now is quite satisfactory. Killers
are competing against feeder buyers for
the steers which go below IS and down
to $425, and this rather active compe-
tition affords sellers ready outlet for
such kinds at firm rates, bulk of the
classes which have gone at 1925 @5.
thus far in the week being on a strong
to higher basis compared with last
weeks closing, while showing at least
a week ago.
Hogs.
Hogs were active and strong, and
generally cents higher, and trading
was mostly of a speculative character.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady, and demand for
prime lambs was good, but medium
grades displayed some weakness. The
best kinds of sheep were in fair re-
quest.
Supply has been contracted this
week in manner calculated to create
the impression that~the country is pre-
pared to resist the packers bear cam
paign. The two-day supply here Is
about $4,000 less than last week and
but few more than year ago, while
the supply for the same period at the
six western markets is 10000 less than
last week and not much heavier than
at the corresponding time in 1907. De-
cember receipts to date are only 10000
more than last year and figured in

a deficiency on the same basis of COM
parison. Shipping trade is only fair
and not as good as year ago when
the stuff was cheap and the east was
eating it in enormous quantities. After
this week, however, poultry demand
will wane and the plebian pork chop
will have broader opportunity to get
into circulation.
