WOOL SALES DAYS.
First Two Dates Have Been Already
Decided Upon.

The first two wool sales days have
already been announced for this point
and are as follows
Monday, May 16.
Wednesday, June Is
These dates have been carefully ar
ranged in order not to conflict in any
way with the Oregon sales days. thus
all buyers viii be given an open date
in which to enter the field at this
point and bid for the offerings that
viii be made.
There may be other sales dates in
the future, but at this time nothing
definite has been decided upon, ex-
.cepting the two dates above men
toned. It is expected a large amount
of wool will be shipped from this
point this season, as in the past.
Sheep on our ranges came through
the past hard winter with compara-
lively little loss. and wool shipments
should be as heavy as usual.

The 'Girl Lived Near Mussel's

A peculiar and unaccountable in

thought no more Of It until night,
when still she failed to return. The
father then visited the neighbors in
quest of his daughter. but neither
could they give him any information
regarding the girl.
1t was then evident that something
unusual had occurred, and at about

the alarm and a searching party was

WATER is NOW IN MAIN CANAL.
Repairs Made on the Feeder Canal
Leading From Canyon Creek
Above Axes.

Ben Query with his construction
crew has completed temporary re-
pairs of the damage in the feeder
canal done by the late foods. About
200 feet OF the ditch was entirely
washed away, allowing the water
that should have been carried to the
lower reservoir run to waste through
Canyon creek. The work has been
done hurriedly, but at the same time
in a very substantial manner in spite
of the fact that It is only temporary.
This morning the water that has
been going to waste down Canyon
Greek was diverted into the old
canal and carried into the lower res

run. The lower reservoir is already

WANTS A Sane FOURTH
City Authorities Will Stop Premature
Use of Fire Crackers,
Etc.

Mayor Davy said this morning that
he was deeply in earnest about the
suggestion he made to the city coun-
ell last night, in reference to the pro-
hlbftion of all kinds of fire crackers
and noise making contrivances before
rhe 4th of July celebration. Already
there had been a number of very SER
ious accidents in different cities and
he proposed that the possible trouble
IN Moorhead be minimized. The
mayor did not want it understood that
he wanted to curtail the spirit of ma
trtotism, but the lives and limbs of
the general public must be protected
from the actions of those who are al
ways about, who do not seem TO have
any concern for the safety of other
people. The city attorney and CITY
clerk viii draw up resolution cover
ing the matter and it viii be publish
ed for the information and guidance of
the public. The state law. regarding

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, June 25.-The wheat mar
ket opened u to B lower, the map
showing some scattered showers again
but no general rains. The local pro-
fessional element was inclined to play
for a lower market but commission
houses absorbed the offerings, causing
an upturn to 9SAc for September, from
which point recession OF 1c took
place. Country buying of futures at
Minneapolis would rather confirm be-
lief in serious damage. There was a
good deal Of evening up over Sunday,
The southwestern houses were good
sellers OF wheat in this market. Some
rains occurred in Nebraska. The fact
September wheat has advanced INC
per bushel in week and held all but a
small portion of such advance, is
pretty good proof Of the seriousness
of the changed conditions in the spring
wheat outlook. Further developments
of betterment or deterioration will be
the immediate price making factor
Some pressure may be felt from
movement of winter wheat, but as yet
evidence of the sale is not apparent

Grain Opinions

Clement Curtis IL Co.: 1t Will take
a day or two to develop the full ex-
tent of damage in the northwest, and
we look for a nervous market prior to
the week end. Mondays news will I'M
tloubtedly remove all doubt as to the
exact situation. Rain in the southwest
will give the needed relief to corn, and
If the promise be fulfilled corn will
work lower.
Shearson Hammill Co: 1t is time to
go very slow in either position. The
buying side has possibilities dependent
entirely upon continued favorable
weather and the extent of the dam
age already experienced. The selling
side has the advantage of a technically
weakened market and eliminated short
and an over extended long interest, to-
gether with the very sharp advances
scored, which may discount to some
exact situation. Rain in the southwest
date.
S. B. Chaplin & Co: The damage al
ready done, with the much more seri-
GUS losses threatened confirms the idea
that the wheat crop of the United
States will be moderate at best this
year and that the lack of export bust
ness can be ignored at least for the
present. While we would not get too
enthusiastic on the swells, would take
advantage of the dips to buy wheat.

The English Sparrow.

The English sparrow is looked upon
oy the Minnesota state entomologist at
the experiment station as a menace
TO farmers. not only destroying grain,
but also driving away usefMl birds
The division of entomology suggests
that very humane way of destroying
them Is to feed them wheat for a. few
mornings in the winter, in straight
line, in yard or field, and when the
birds have become accustomed to the
system to rake the line with a gun
loaded with fine shot. Wheat 1t has
been said, may be soaked in whisky
and eaten by the sparrows, inducing
such intoxication that they may be
picked up and killed. Destroying
sparrows' nests several times in sue
cession, as they were rebuilt, has
discouraged nesting in the locality.
Destruction by means of active poi
sons is rot recommended by the divi-
sion because the dead birds are eaten
by cats, poultry, etc. The entomoIogist
has discouraged their roosting in win
ter under the caves of his own home
and defling the building. by the use
of small collecting pistol of fine shot,
shooting them off their perches at dusk.

Brood Mares for Profit.

It is now costing the farmer about
$50 year to support a horse in

carefully kept at the experiment sta
ton. The necessity is apparent for
the farmer to get into methods Of

has been suggested by the secretary
of the Minnesota Stallion Registration
board that the present average farm
horses be at once converted into high
class brood mares capable of raising
colt annually. The, geldings should
be sold to people whose business will
keep them busy throughout the year
and pay their owners a profit. Colts
of high class brood mares VIII sell at

parties at Hawley who charged that
he had been uttering alleged forged
instruments, entered plea of guilty

yesterday and was held to the grand
jury, and ordered returned to the
county jail. At the time the alleged
crime was committed Kopperdahl. who
is under age, was on parole from the
North Dakota Reform school at Man
dan, but whether he would again be
received by the authorities of the lat
ter institution is a question If the
defendant consents, the case can be
taken up Immediately By the district
judge and in that case the lad will be
sent to the reformatcry at st. Cloud,

perdahl fear more than good sound
