WiIIiston, N d., July 2S.-Special
Enumerator George SUNDERLAND. re-
Gently appointed by the city council
to take an enumeration of the city OF
Williston, this week completed his

OF EXPERTS TODAY.

Chicago, July 23.-Stains on the ce-
ment sidewalk near the home of Ira
G. Rawn, the railroad president who
was found shot to death in his sum
mer residence, were declared today
by chemists to be caused by some col
oring matter in a watery solution, and
not blood stains of the supposed muir
derer, as believed by the slain mans
relatives and friends. This discovery
weakens the theory of murder held by
the relatives Of Rawn.

party or parties the relatives believe
killed Rawn.

and a quarter Of rain fell during. the
thunder showers last night, which is
twice the total precipitation previously
during the month So far the rainfall
for July is little below normal. Last
nights rains seem to have been quite
general in this part of the state and
is of much benefit to flax crops and 1t
will help all late crops some.
Hail Near Wimbledon.

storm struck seven miles north of here
last night, coming from the southwest.
1t wiped out a strip ten miles wide,
totally destroying the crops and blow
ing down barns and small outbuiIdings.
No damage was done in the village.
About fifteen farmers who had promise
Of exceptionally good crops were in the
path of the storm. There was heavy
rainfall of about an hours duration.
Fargo was visited by the heaviest
downpour of the year for a few min
utes this morning. Although 1t did not
rain long, it made up in intensity what
1t lacked in duration. One sixteenth
of an inch fell in twelve minutes, ac-
eording to Observer Grasse at Moor
head,
Among the other benefits was that to
the track at the state fair grounds.
The track, because of the long dry
spell, has been hard and dry. 1t has
been practically impossible TO get
enough water on it with the sprinklers.
The rain this morning would not have
been better had 1t been ordered spe-
cially for that purpose. 1t puts the
track in the very best shape for the
fast work of next week.
Although it rained only in showers,
they seem to have been general over
the entire northwest. From Canada
through 10 South Dakota heavy rains
are reported.
At Rapid City, s. D., there was al
most cloudburst, the government
weather man there reporting fall Of
over two inches.
The rain will be of great benefit to
flax, corn and potatoes, will help
greatly in filling out heading wheat
and will also be Of great value to late
fodder crops.

THE COTTON ACREAGE
WILL Be INCREASED
REPORTS FROM BROCK SAY IN
CREASE WILL BE 100 PER
CENT.

\ matter OF intense interest to all
the people OF the country is the crop
situation. rhis is an agricultural
country the prosperity Of every family
depends upon the fruits OF 'ho farm
the prosperity of every business con.
ccrn depends upon what The farmer
makes. II the farmer becomes rich
the whole people prosper Two ideas
Of prosperity prevail one is advo-
Gated by the republicans the other by
the democrats in national legislation.
The republican Flea is to make the
upper classes rich and the money will
porcolatc down TO the masses. The
democratic idea is to make the farm
er and the laborer prosperous and be
lieyc enough money will be gathered
to conduct the great enterprises OF
the country The latter idea Is better
especially for this country.
The cotton acreage Is a matter OF
much moment to this country. 1t is
the one cash crop Any planter can
grow rich raising 15c cotton. The
prices that have prevailed the past
season has induced many farmers to
conclude To plant more cotton. Rob.
ert H. Reed in making report from
Brock in this county says every piece
o. land that lay idle in that section
last year would be in cultivation this
year. Fences are being built, houses
repaired. every house is occupied by a
farmer. the plows are busy and the
acreage of cotton over last year will
be increased 100 per cent. That report
reads like prosperity at the close Of
the year. Chas. j. Gill of Hewitt says
the increase in his section will he
from % to 80 per cent and 1t may be
more. There is more demand for land
and every farmer begins the year full
of hope.
