MANDAN DEPARTMENT

Mandan, N. D. Aug. 1S-The wealth
er man and ice man have evidently
formed a combination judging from
the amount of hot weather we are
having. >..
The musical comedy, "A knight for
a Day." was presented to a large
audience in the opear house last night.
It was exceptionally good and was ap-
preciated by everyone present.
Manager H. H. Williams of the
opera house, is doing some good work
this season. He has secured several
good shows during the past few
months and also has several more
good ones billed for the coming few
months.
The members of the Mandan Gun
club will start on championship
contest next Sunday. A medal will be
awarded to the champion and he will
hold the honor until next season when
another contest will be held. The
boys are taking a great deal Of in
terest in the gun club this year and
they have some very enjoyable times
at their shoots.

animation of the wheat and stated
today most emphatically that grain
in Nelson county is badly affected
with black rust and that there are
a number of fields that will never
be cut. Mr.. Duis estimates that the
damage is from Is to so per cent
and his estimates are backed up by
reliable reports not only from Mel
son county, but from Ramsey, Ben
son, Towner, Rollette, Bottineau and
Cavalier counties. Pembina county
has been drowned and hailed out
so that the depreciation there has
been fully as great as among the
counties affected with the rust. In
Grand Forks county the crop is near
ly all in shock and the only deprec-
iation has been from shrinkage as
a result of the hot weather follow
ing numerous showers. The weather
of the past two weeks has been
great weather for rust and there Is
now a general sentiment that North
Dakota's crop, at least in the nor
them part, has been greatly over
estimated by the crop experts who
passed through the country at the
time when prospects were the bright
est.

CHICAGO GIRL IS LUCKY one
Gets Second Choice Of Claims on
Spokane Indian Reservation
Claim is said to be Worth $4,000
Superintendent of the Opening.

Spokane, WASH. Aug. 19.-Mary
D. McNickle of Chicago, may be
considered one of the luckiest young
women in the country, having
drawn No. 2 in Uncle Sans big
lottery for land in the Spokane In
dian reservation. There were more
than 100000 applicants for regis
tration on this reserve where only
forty quarter sections or 6,400 acres
of land will be opened to settlement
and entry next April. Miss NC
Nickles good luck is due entirely
to the work of the Spokane chamber
of commerce. which deposited fund
with Postmaster Harrison to guaran-
tee the delivery of all unstamped
letters addressed to Jams w. Witten,
superintendent of the opening, Occur
d'Alene, Idaho. Her letter was one
of those on which the postage was
paid by the organization, she having
mailed it without attaching a two
cent stamp. Miss McNickle will
have the second choice Of the land
opened on the reservation. Nora
N. Gilbert of Seattle, drew No. II
Mary C. Hanning of Chicago, drew
No. 80 and No. 80 went to Emma
Schaffuer of Evansville, Ind. These
are the only four women to secure
numbers of the first 40 names sell
ected the claims are worth 10000
each and are adapted to agricul-
ture. 49,. g.. = t>-,.~- .

new militia COMPANIES
Cost of Upkeep Would be too Heavy
for the State to Bear at the Pres
ent Time-Four Towns are Anxious
to be Represented but There is
Little Chance Of Their Getting in.

jamestown, Aug. ia rumor is
current, of interest to the militia Of
!! the state, that four new companies
are. to be organized, one at Grand
Forks, one at Kenmare, and two
at other points to be named. Under
the new code, which went into effect
July /, last, it appears that the gov
ernor has no power to create any
..ilitia organizations not provided b!
the statute, and until such power Is
given the executive by law, it is
claimed that the present establish
ment of the militia cannot be in
creased. The militia establishment
is created by statute which defines
what the national guard shall con-
sist of, and provides that the COM
panies cannot be increased in number
except by an act of the legislature.
This provision, it is stated, was
adopted in the code to prevent the
organization of other than existing
companies until such time as the
state appropriation would warrant.
The appropriations at present are
claimed to be INADEQUATE to properly
aid all the present companies of the
state militia.
There are now five companies In
the state that. have taken advantage
of the armory law, namely HiHsboro,
Valley City. Dickinson, Lisbon and
Bismarck. and several other COM
panies have been designated to re-
ceive benefits from this law, includ-
ing the jamestown company. These
have assumed burdens,
in addition to what will be cared for
by the state funds, which indebted
ness has to be taken care of. All the
money that can be raised for militia
purposes will be needed by the pres
ent companies.
It seems that the law made a
wise provision to limit the number
of companies until such time as the
would warrant the
creation of new ones. This also
means a greater efficiency in the Or
ganization now existing.
The state militia favor the organ
ization Of new companies in any
town where there is sufficient num-
Der of men, whenever the f1nancesfor
permit, and Captain
Frazier, president of the State militia
tia association $19,067.96 to equip
showing it would cost the state mill
and $12,6S3.99, to maintain annually
the four additional companies pro-
posed. Capt. Frazier has sent to
the officers of the regiment an item
led statement showing he expenses
involved in the above figures.

WORM PEST IN THE GRAIN
Deadly Work of Worm Said to be
Working Havic Near Sherwood
New Menace said to be Far More
. Dangerous Than Rust-Samples Of
Grain and Worm to be Examined
by Experts.

Devils Lake, Aug. &c. E.. Bur-
CESS, who owns number of eleya-
tors in North Dakota, and who is one
of the best posted grain men In the
state, was showing on our streets
the reason for the queer look"
noticed in many Of our grain fields
this year which startled every farm
er to whom it was shown and ex-
planned the loss of vitality in grain
stalks, which has been attributed in
many instances to blight and black
rust. Mr.. Burgess has samples Of
straw, which ON being split open,
showed where a worm had eaten
it's way through from the root to
the head, leaving in its trail the
same powder found in wood which
has been bored by worms. Several
of the worms had been procured and
Mr.. Burgess had these in small
alcohol bottle. E'""- '.'..' 20, +-@ ''''''>-,:
The grain was sent to him from
his elevator agent at Sherwood, and
it Is said the deadly work Of the
worm is extensive in that section of
the state. It has been*noticed par
ticularly this year that the middle
row on the wheat heads did not
fill, that It seemed blighted. It is
the theory of those who have ex-
amined into the matter that this
worm is the cause Of the trouble.
Samples Of the grain and the
worms have been sent to the agri-
cultural college and to the Mime
apolis board OF trade. 81. a
IT is the, opinion of farmers that
d new menace TO wheat growing, far
more dangerous than rust. has ap-
,peared.. and the opinion Of experts
viii be awaited with much interest.

HOLDING THE GRAIN.

There is demand of lumber deal
ers for material for farmers gran
aries. The prospective large crop
and the advisability of marketing it
slowly have made granary room nee
essary and a good many farmers are
expecting to hold at least part Of
their wheat for later delivery. The
need of storage room for other grain
is also being seen. By holding back
part Of their wheat the Cutting of
the Minneapolis and Duluth markesr
will be avoided and better prices Sc
cured.
