Thinks About 30 Per Cent.

Deputy Postmaster Fay of the Moor
head postoffice says he does not take
any stock in the estimated big loss the
local postofice will entail il Moorhead
is made absolutely dry by the Indian
bureau authorities. He says the To-
cal business, from the brewery agen-
cies and wholesale liquor houses, is
considerable and an important factor
in keeping the Moorhead Office in the
class 1t is in, but he does not con-
slider that 1t is the whole cheese by
a long shot" Mr.. Fay says he has
done some figuring and he thinks that
dry" conditions will cut a figure to
the extent of about 40 per cent de-
crease and not more than that, but
the brewery and liquor men say that
he is altogether too conservative. Mr..
Fay says that not all of the stamps
used by some of the wet goodss houses
in Moorhead are bought at the local
office. He says that not very long ago
there was received at the local Office
two huge sacks of mail from the Min
neapolis headquarters of a local office.
Some school students had been turned
loose on the addressing of 5000 en-
velopes to different points in North
Dakota, but mistaking instructions
they addressed the whole lot to Moor
head, Mimi" The matter mailed was
advertising the output of the local Of

STATEMENT FOR THE PAST
WEEK is HOPEFUL

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2-Comnis-
sioner of Agriculture Gilbreath has
issued the following crop report for
the week ending Aug. /:
The small grain harvest has stsrrad
in spots all over the state and will
be general during the current weak
ruby better yields of wheat and finer
quality are being secured than was
deemed possible at one time, cutting
developing the fact that barley and
oats are the heaviest sufferers from,
the late dry weather conditions. or
grains not yet cut the most fayors HE
conditions seem to be the satisfac-
tory manner iR which late wheat is
filling. Reports disclose a wide RANGE
of conditions. The expected Yields OF
wheat, oats, barley speltz and rye now
ranging from bare return of seed IN
the farmer to a three quarter Or al
most normal crop in some few favored
localities.
Reports on flax are slightly less IA
vorable than week ago owing To the
failure in grain sown on land broken
this spring in the southwestern part
of the state. Nevertheless fax. with

moisture In some parts, holds the best
average of probable yields. Later
rains have helped these two latter
crops to some extent and also pastur-
age and hay prospects, but the forage
situation is still a serious matter
Considered as whole, the wheat SIT
uatfon is not materially changed from
a week ago, more favorable reports
from some localities being offset bv
more encouraging ones from others

EVAPORATION LOWERS
Dryness of Air Causes Loss of Water
From Lakes and Streams Through
That Source.

Old timers, who, among other things
have made study Of the rivers and
streams in this part of the west and
saying that the water in the rivers
and lakes has shown signs of evapor-
ating very fast during the past week
or two. There is no moisture in the
air and the numerous springs which
feed the rivers and lakes are unable
to compete against such odds. Should
there be rain and 1t did not run into
alton. Dayton Hollow dam, at Fergus
Falls, was wasting some water ten
days ago but it now has to draw ON
the reserve and some steam is being
used at Wahpeton during the height
Of the load. The flour mills can run
only a part Of the day. Since the
Fergus water commission shut off
sprinkling, the consumption has de-
creased one-half and they are able to
keep better head of water.
Commenting along the same lines,
c. D. Wright of Fergus Falls says
that the shallow lakes in dry season
instead of being a source of strength
for the river are a source of weakness
I'VE made observations during the dry
spell some years ago and found that
in some cases the river emptied more
water into the lakes than flowed out
When the air Is full of moisture the
case is different but it Is the dry
season that we want the water"

FAIR OFFICIALS
ARE PLEASED
PRESIDENT SMITH GLAD OF NO
SERIOUS ACCIDENTS NOR FIRES
$780, REMARKABLE RECORD FOR
STATE FAIR WEEK CONSIDER.
ING WEATHER CONDITIONS.

1t Is the opinion of the officials of
the state fair association that had the
crops been better, the state fair would
far have surpassed itself in every nos
sible manner, and that the attendance
would have been at least 5000 more
than 1t actually was. Conservativelv
estimating the number attending the
fair during the week, the executive
board of the association is of the opin-
ION that 1t passed the $4,000 mark.
Verything is in good shape and every
one is pleased as the fair in eyery
way came up to expectations. Presi-
dent Smith of the association is es-
pecially pleased over the fact that
there were no serious accidents nor anv
hres during the whole week, which is
quite remarkable in both instances
considering the large attendance.
tuesday was conceded by all to be
the hardest day of the fair. as the in
tenslty OF the heat and the unusual
dryness OF the atmosphere made II ex-
ceedingly hard on the management to
supply all the visitors with water.
Ihree water tanks were kept in con-
tinual use for the sprinkling of the
track, the watering of the stock and
to supply restaurants and visitors.
considering everything the crowd was
well handled in this respect and there
was none who suffered from the want
of water.
The sanitary conditions OF the fair
grounds could not have been better |
Where no sewerage system has been
installed On a temporary site like the
fair grounds, owing to the brevity Of
the season of it's occupancy, 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to provide ample
means by which to do away with the
drainage excrement and general de-
oris Of so extensive a plot as the fair
grounds cover. However, there was no
inconvenience caused by the lack of
sewerage facilities and no sickness re-
suited either among the visitors Or the
i've stock.
