the tbreshing machine is heard from
early morning until late at night.
Next week promises to see the
wind-up of threshing operations in
most parts of the state. The southern
counties are much farther ahead than
the northern counties Of the state and
this week will see the finishing OF
threshing in some localities This
week saw the beginning of the move
ment of wheat eastward and there Is
no car shortage in evidence in spite
of the fact that adverse crop reports
early in the season put stop to very
extensive building operations. This
fact, however, has been largely offset
by the fact that the construction wocS
which takes so many cars has been
stopped to a great extent, There are
many reasons for this. Some author
! tiles say that it is but the mute APP
peal of the roads to the public against
adverse legislation, which has been
enacted against them in the past year.
Others say that the dividends have
not been enough to warrant the extern
sion OF lines in the west, For many
reasons the car shortage, which usu-
ally occurs about the time the crop
movement begins, does not seem inn
niinent this year.
Season Remarkable.
This season has been a remarkable
one in many respects. The early part
of the season was favorable enough
to bumper crop, and yet the greater
part has been almost without mois-
ture In this vicinity the rainfall for
this summer season has been about
six inches below the normal Notwith-
standing this, and the numerous adj
verse crop reports which have been
made, 1t is expected that the crop will
be very good.
The straw is not as heavy as usual
but the kernels of grain themselves
have developed well and the -thresh-
ing machine indicates that the avera-
age crop will be as good as ever
Wheat especially will go well up
above the average yield. The states
OF Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota, Wisconsin. and portions of other
states have been visited by this un-
precedented drought and yet the
crop will be good.

SHERIFF IS CHIEF
PEACE OFFICER
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS THEY
ARE MORE THAN ORNAMENTAL
PROCESS sERVERs-HELD TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT OR WILL
BE DISMISSED.

In legal and official circles today the
topic mostly discussed was the opinion
which has been framed by the at
torney general of Minnesota, at the. re-
quest of the governor. The latter
wanted to know what local officers he
could hold responsible for violations
of law about which his desk was con-
tinually filled with complaints.
Governor Eberhart, to whom many
complaints Of violations of the liquor
laws have been made, wished to know
what local officers he could hold re-
sponsible for law violations. The sher-
iff is directly responsible to the goc-
ernor, and for this reason tne govern r
wrote the attorney general and aske /
for an opinion not only as to the du-
ties and obligations of the sheriff, but
also as to the penalties provided in
case the sheriff negIects or refuses to-
perform his duties.
Chief Peace Officer,
According to Mr.. Simpson, the sher-
iff Is the chief peace officer of the
county and is answerable directly to
the governor. If he is derelict in his
duty the governor may dismiss him.
There is no appeal from the action Of
the executive.
A leading Moorhead attorney re-
ferring to the opinion just prepared by
the attorney general said: II am very
glad the governor has taken the mat
ter up at this time. 1t will set sher-
ifs in office and those aspiring to the
office at the coming primaries to think
ing Too long has the average sher-
if been basking in the sunshine of his
idea that his principal work was to
serve papers and draw fees, simply
as a process server. This waiting for
a. complaint is all poppycock Only a
short time ago county commissioner
had to stir up the animals at Dill
worth when really it should have been
done by the constable or some other
peace officer"
1t is stated that the governor has
ordered that a copy Of the opinion.

to the office Of the chief executive be

1t is not expected that anything can

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Gossip among the
wheat traders yesterday that Patten
had sold all grains in a moderate way
for two days. The big trader talking
bearish for a turn and said that there
was no use trying to bull wheat while
the difference between September and
May is 91s cents, as It's continuation
will beat any bull. 1t looked TO him
as though prices might go some lower
until receipts drop off and the de-
mand improves. We have over 10000,
600 bushels wheat. and some well in =
formed people say that there Is much
more, which is enough to satisfy all
the trade for more than year and
under ordinary conditions leave a good
stock at the end of twelve months.
Receipts have let up and so has the
demand, so that one offsets the other.
1t was said that Rankin bought all
futures yesterday and then sent out
word that it was low day for wheat
and that an advance was due. Cutten
also increased his line on the break,
but he is only OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
