RECORD CROP FOR STATE.
Writer For Commercial West Claim.
$4,000 Bushels Here.

Minneapolis-North Dakota has
raised wheat crop of $4,000, 900 BUSH
els, according to Rollin E. Smith of
The Commercial West, who has COM
pleted his figures for that state. Mr..
Smith believes the crop has passed
the period where rust can seriously
affect it.
The feature Of the crop will be it's
uniformity throughout the state. The
average yield per acre will be the
highest in twenty years, or probably
fifteen bushels. With 100000 acres
and fifteen-bushel yield, the crop,
Mr.. Smith says, will be $4,000 900
bushels or the greatest in the history
Of the state.
Black rust, of which there have
been several reports received from the
wheat fields, is confined to a small
area south of Lidgerwood, comprising
territory Of approximately three
townships. In these three townships
several fields have been damaged.
Aside from that there is no rust in
the crops, except for small spot
around Warren.

HISTORIC aATrLEFlELp
Monument 70 Be Erected In msmorx
Of Dead at Whitestone Hills.

" OSa0 az Wmge6t0ne f1tIIo.
Monango.-President Northrop of
the Whitestone battlefield commits
sion has received word that the mag
nificent $4,000 monument ordered
for the Whitestone battlefield, will
be here about Aug. Is and 1t is ex-
pected to have 1t erected and ready
for the dedication on Sept. 8. 1t
will be an event of statewide impor-
lance and will form an interesting
chapter in the future annals of the
state.
The battles of Whitestone hills
were fought on September 3 and 5,
1863, on section II, 1876, in the
western part of what is now Dickey
county, North Dakota. The whites
engaged were commanded by Briga-
der General Alfred Sully, consisting
of the Second Nebraska cavalry,
commanded by Robert w. Furness,
and the Sixth Iowa cavalry, COM
manded by D. S. Wilson. The enemy
consisted of several bands of Sioux
indians. There were less than L.
900 whites engaged, and over 1000
warriors.
Both battles were exceedingly spi
rited, unusual courage being display
ed on both sides. Over 200 Indians
were killed. The whites lost>twen-
ty-three men and seventy-five to 100
wounded, quite number mortally.
A large number of prisoners were
captured.
A number of soldiers graves have
been located, and up to several years
ago human bones could be found
scattered over the entire battle
ground. Until recent years White
stone battlefield was part of a COM
mon herding ground and no respect
was paid Whatever to the graves.
For number of years past Colo.
mel Northrop has been at work to
nave the grascs properly marked
and protected and the coming dedi-
cation of the new $4,000 monument
will afford him just ground for con.
graduation.

The / State Day by Day
NEW REFORM SCHEME
Minot Commissioners Request Their
Own Resianations.

. "s
Fargo-A story has started the
rounds Of the state press relative to
9 novel reform" wrinkle invented by
some of the officials of Minot under
the new commission regime,-a story
which seems odd on the face of it,
put which is not admitted as being
1unny" but relates to very matter
ol-fact. as well as a rather ingenious
new method of reform. The Magic
City has just installed the commission
system of local government. and some
MEMBER of the commission conceived
the idea of making all officials in
the employ of the city accompany
tnelr acceptance of official duties with
written resignation" made without
.-xed requirement as to date. but serv.
Ing the purpose. of placing their posi-
lions at the disposal of the governing
Dody to be acted upon in case of due
cause.
The suggestion was made that If
designations were in order, the men,
Ders of the commission had no right
to except themselves from the general
rule governing this subject,-and as a
consequence it was agreed by ma
1ority that all should file designations
at once. The plan was acceded to
most gracefully with the exception
that one member felt like insisting

ton with as much promptness as had
been shown in the request for it.
New there is some uncertainty as to
which party is most in the wrong
those members who assume the right
to ask the resignation of officials duly
elected for specified term, or those
others who cannot accept in good part
plan intended only as a safeguard
and for the general good.''
Admirers of the new system will
DOUBTLESS watch the outcome with the
nope that it will not cause friction
sufficient to offset the benefits hoped
for under the new plan.
