there won't be enough stuff to feed a
humming bird. Around Petersburg
the storm literally stripped the leaves
from the trees, leaving entire tree
claims as bare as in midwinter. Barns
and other buildings were blow down
and the grain beaten into the earth
! till it is left entirely bare.
The storm was less severe further
west but there are only occasional
fields that promise any yield till near
Devils Lake where the situation is
considerably improved.
East of Larimore there are a few
nice fields, but there is practically NO
crop from Arvilla to Grand Forks.
The yield from Grand Forks down
as far as Buxton will not exceed a
third of crop.
The situation is grave in many sec
tons and over large areas. The wors,
feature is tho absence of feed for
live stock. >1any farmers are sowing
corn and mi'.ct. others are cutting hay
along all the ...ttle sloughs and in 9th.
err places that have been ignored in
the past.
Many farmers have turned their
horses and cattle onto the fields to get
what they can from the wreck.
Others are blowing the fields and
preparing for next years crop with
that eternal optimism so characters.
tic in North Dakota.
None of them are cutters. They
are tackling the game undaunted and
with courage that sets people in
other walks of life a most admirable
example. Your average NORTH Dakota
farmer is a kicker some times and he
likes to roar occasionally-just to:
throw scare into the grain speculat-
ors and others-but when the trying
times come he faces the situation
bravely and with the spirit that is the
inspiration of heroes.
There have been bad years before
in his experience. There will be more
of them-but the North Dakota farm
er has learned there are more fat
years than lean-and he is convinced
that the conditions in this state are
better than anywhere else he could
go.

CROP SITUATION AS seen
BY EDITOR OF The FORUM

Charley Brewer of the Forum, made
an auto trip from Fargo to Devils
Lake, and came back by train and he
sizes up the crop situation I'm that
section as follows:
Early seeded grain in many sections
of the state looks well. All grain on
properly cultivated Red river lands
i looks we'll.
Much of the winter rye is in the
! shock, or should be, and the yield will
be quite satisfactory.
The fax crop in the Red River val
ley looks good and will be greatly
benefited by the rain.
The corn crop, almost everywhere
in the state is in fine condition. 1t is
luxurant, a rich color and growing
rapidly.
Parts of Grand Forks. Nelson, Ben
son and Sargent counties have been
hail swept and what crop had surviv-
| ed the drouth was beaten into the
ground.
The most serious prOpositiOn--after
admitting the ruin Of crops over wide
areas-is the lack of feed for the live
, stock. Thousands of horses will be
sold at a great sacrifice, and
thousands of cattle. many of them
mixers, will be rushed to the market
in unfit condition and sold at a great
loss to the owners.
Rains will greatly help all hay and
forage crops.
The foregoing are some Of the con-
illusions the Forum has reached after
a personal inspection by one of its
representatives over a part of North
Dakota.
An auto trip up the Red River val
ley to Hillsboro, across to Mayville,
over to Portland, north by Hatton,
Northwood, Larimore, McCanna and
straight west to Devils Lake, and
back by rail to Grand Forks and down
to Fargo has enabled the writer to
familiarize himself at first hand with
some of the crop conditions in North
Dakota.
There is much fine wheat in the
valley in Cass county near the Red
river and properly cultivated fields
will have a fair yield, no matter what
the conditions are. Some rye has
been cut and the rest of the winter
rye is very ripe. There are many fine
fields of corn and few of flax. Oats
are very short. The wheat is short in
straw but their heads are almost the
normal length. The earlier seeded
grain is rich in color.
The crops began to improve west of
Hillsboro and all the way across that
part of Trail county to Portland and
as far as Northwood, especially be-
tween Portland and Hatton, there is
some of as fine grain as one could
wish to see. Much Of it would have
yielded fifteen bushels to the acre
without drop more rain. That sec
ton shows higher degree of cultiva-
ton than anywhere along the entire
route.
From Northwood to Larimore there
will be considerable grain but the
yield will be much smaller than south.
North of Larimore there is an oc.
casional promising field till the hail
belt is struck south of McCanna.
From McCanna west to Petersburg
between the drouth and the hail

dunn COUNTY RETURNS
ARE STILL INCOMPLETE

! Stanton, N. D., July 13.-As yet
complete returns have not been re-
ceived from Dunn county, but judging
; from what we can learn it is safe to
say John Young is elected as senator
from this district, leading James
Harris by scant $50 votes. The
question of who are representatives
| is still up in the air. Boerner of
Oliver county is certainly elected, but
as who of the other four is elected is
hard to tell. 1t is possibly two men
from Oliver, owing to the fact that
Cuskelley received a very light vote
in Oliver county.

WOULD SHEAR SPEAKER
OF POWER TO NAME
Move Was Started Last Year for
Committee on Committees But
Dropped to Prevent Prolongation of
Session-Norris Says Country Be-
hind insurgency.

Washington, Dec. 2.-That the
fight started at the last session of
congress over the method of appoint
ing committees in the house will be
one of the battles in the coming ses-
sion, is the belief of Congressman
Norris, Nebraskan insurgent leader,
who arrived today Norris said: This
session will be for insurgency. The
country is behind us" He said the
session will be one of the most inn
portant in the history of the insur-
gency movement and that upon the
victories gained will depend largely
the future of the progressives.
Norris, continuing, said: THE fight
which is expected to open the insur-
gent campaign is over the appoint
ment of the committees of the house"
Just before the close of the last ses-
sion Norris introduced a resolution for
the appointment of a committee on
committees. This comittee was to be
divided according to geographical di-
visions, made up of twenty members.
1t would give twelve divisions for the
majority and eight for the minority
party. The committee would have
power to appoint all other commit
tees including that on rules This
caused a sensation last year but was
not pushed because it was believed
then it would mean a fight on Can
non and would result in a prolonga-
ton of the session then about to ad-
journ. The new idea will probably be
revived.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The presi-
dents message is completed and is be-
ing distributed by press associations
today. There is much speculation
among politicians as to what the
lengthy document contains. The only
authentic information given out con-
cerning the message is that 1t has
been approved by the cabinet. The
president will now give UP the rest OF
his time between now and the opening
of congress to callers who have been
besieging his office for weeks and in
meeting retiring officials.
There is much speculation as to
what the message contains, especially
regarding the tariff. Nothing can be
learned as those who have perused
the document are sworn to secrecy.
Next to the measures which he re-
commended comes the appointments
he will make, particularly to the su-
preme bench. 1t Is probable Hughes
will be appointed chief justice. This
matter is a question that Is agitating
the minds of congressman. There
are many rumors of prospective ap-
pointments but most of them are un-
officially denied.

Twelve thousand bushels of wheat

The sale was made by woodward

company is the purchaser.
Wheat is being quoted today in
the local markets at 70 cents, but
Woodward Brothers own their own

sition to get more than the ruling
market price. They were paid the
full market price and the warehouse

Culberson for n Leader.

Washington.-Ther is talk among
democrats OF re-electing Senator Gull
berson of Texas as leader of the sem
ate minority, a position he held for
several years, and until his health
failed. Senator Money OF Mississippi
is now minority leader, but he leaves
the senate on March 4 and a new
leader will be chosen when the sixty
second congress organizes.
AS Senator Culberson has fully re-
gained his health, he Is logical can
didate for leadership. and perhaps is
better equipped than any other dem
ocrat in the senate. Then, too, II
must be recalled that Senator Culber-
son has several times been mention
ed as democratic nominee for presi-
dent. Texas democrats have feel
ing that the south should be recog-
nized on a national ticket.

HEAD DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE

Salem, Ore, Dec. with the re-
election of Theodore B. Wilcox and c.
C. Chapman of Portland as president
and secretary, respectively, the great
est congress of the Oregon Develop
ment league closed its three days ses-
sion at Salem yesterday afternoon and
will hold its next conference at As
toria some time next summer at a
date to be fixed by the executive
board Of the league, but which, no
doubt, will correspond with the date
for the holding of the commemorative
centennial at the sea coast town
AS first vice president the league
chose ]. s. Van Wrinkle of Albany; as
second vice president, G. Wingate OF
Astoria; as third vice president, w.
NJ. Colvig of Medford as fourth vice
president, William Hanley of Burns;
and as fifth vice president, ]. H. Ra-
ley of Pendleton. The league has no
organization except on paper, there
being no provision made for regular
meetings or election of officers except
as custom has provided. The Ore
gon Development league is merely
very loose confederation Of booster
clubs and commercial organizations of
Oregon.
Before adjourning the congress
adopted a number of resolutions,
though it was the endeavor of the Of
ficials throughout the session not to
allow any resolutions except of mere
ly a perfunctory order to be intro
duced as the leaders in the movement
have attempted to keep the league out
of any movement that savored of poll
itics. Secretary Chapman even de-
precated the introduction OF a good
roads resolution.
Addresses were also delivered at the
closing session by Leon Chapman Of
Portland; President P. L. Campbell
Of the University of Oregon; Charles
H. Carey of the legal department of
the Northern Pacific railroad and c.

LABOR PARTY is ACTIVE.
Much Legislation Has Been Put On
Books by English Parliament.

London.-The Labor party made its
first appearance in Parliament in
1906, with 80 members. Since then,
nearly every piece of labor legislation
that the administration has placed up
on the statute books has been placed
upon them simply because the small
but unanimous Labor party insisted
on it and threatened to raise Ned"
with the administration unless it
yielded.
The very first thing that the La
horites did was to force the passage
of a bill compelling local authorities
to feed necessitous school children.
Upon the same party's demand, the
administration introduced a measure
to safeguard labor unions from the
encroachments of employers. The
bill laid before the Commons was
so unsatisfactory to the Laborites,
however, that the ministry was COM
PEELED to withdraw it and a new one
was offered by the Labor members
themselves. The administration was
afraid to oppose it, it passed accord
ingly and now 1t is law

and c e. Roosevelt weather. The
data gathered by these committees
has been placed in writing and copies
of the reports will be turned over to
the state board through Messrs. Coch-
ran and Mccarthy.
So favorable is the showing made
by Pendleton through this data that
members of the local committee are
confident they have the inside track
for the location.
Another feature that may have a
strong bearing in locating the asylum
is the fact that with some of the To-
cal sites offered go water power
rights. In view of the fact that the
branch asylum will necessarily need
much electricity for lighting and for
power purposes 1t is possible this fea-
ture may have much weight.
