CALAMITY HOWLER
ABROAD IN Land
NORTH DAKOTA UP AGAINST ITS
ARCH ENEMY - NOT ONLY
STATE WITH SHORT
CROP.

Minot Optic; North Dakota is to-
day literally up against the guns of its
arch enemy the calamity bowler On
every street corner long faced indi-
Viduals seem to have stationed them
selves for the express purpose of say
ing Il told you So and with stream
ing eyes they deplore the fact that
anybody should have been so fool
hardy as to ever have had faith in the
state. The calamity bowler never
stops to consider that every cloud has
silver lining and that while half
or two-thirds Of crop is not nearly
so good as bumper crop, the great
majority of us are nevertheless going
to pull through IL we keep a stiff up
per lip. The calamity bowler is too
closely skin to the gutter, however
to see farther than the end of his nose,
and all he views now is blackness,
despair and ruination.
The fact that North Dakota Is fac
ing a shortage in crop this season is
Of course a serious proposition, but
this state is not the only state in the |
Union confronted by the same prob |
lem South Dakota Is worse off than |
NOrth Dakota, while the conditions in |
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ne
braska are just about on a par with
those here. For the past ten years
this state has enjoyed bumper crops.
Nature has been unusually kind with
us and has produced with a lavish
hand, and for that reason there should
be comparatively few failures. The
great majority OF people should be
we'll enough heeled to weather the
storm caused by the temporary sus-
pension of productivity and should
pull through nicely.
The calamity howlers can be de-
pended upon to pick UP and leave at
the first rumble. Those who are
wise will stick, however, for they will
be repayed two, three and four-foId in
the years to come.

GOOD ROADS MEET
At JAMESTOWN
SESSION HAS BEEN CALLED TO
DISCUSS THIS MOST IMPORT.
ANT SUBJECT.

Jamestown, N. D., July 1S.-The
following statement has been issued
here:
Nearly everybody is interested in
good roads; the farmer who spends
so much time and effort in moving
his produce to market; the business
man who is interested in securing the
most of the farmers trade and last,
but not least of all, the owner of an
automobile who travels everywhere
and on every kind Of a road
"a well organized effort and a little
money would accomplish wonders in
removing the dangerous and unex-
pected rock from the middle of the
road; in filing up the low places
where so many got stuck in the
mud" this spring (and will again when
1t rains); and in calling to the at
tention of the proper officers the bad
spots in roads and culverts where a
little work is needed.
Fargo, Darlington, Courtenay and
many other cities in the state have
organized such an association and
are awakening up to the Importance
of the subject of good roads. A well
arranged convention Of statewide in.
terest was called to be at Fargo in
June, 1910, to consider the question
of good roads. Every owner of an
automobile is vitality interested in
this subject.
Let us perfect such an organiza-
ton; If a good roads association, or
an automobile association, as may be
decided at the meeting; let US all
work together and we will be sur
prised at the results.

TUNA MYSTERY
AS Deep As EVER
CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING
DEATH OF DICKINSON MAN
MAY PROBABLY NEVER
BE KNOWN.

| Dickinson Press: There is as much
mystery surrounding the death of AL
bert Tuna today as there was on May
! 8, when it was first learned that he
was missing. 1t is supposed that he
lost his life near or in the N. P. reser-
voir on May Z. The body was found
floating in the water two weeks later.
Henry Brown was arrested because he
was last seen with Tuna and because
he acted queerly about the affair and
because of the stories he told. How
ever, during the past week the coroner's
jury, acting in conjunction with States
Attorney M. L. Mcbride, ordered his
release.
1t was found that Brown and one
Bell told different stories on material
points and both parties were carefully
investigated
People around the city thought il
strange that the mystery could not be
ferreted out, and the authorities finally
employed Pinkerton detective for two
weeks. The detective was apparently
a good one and followed every clue
possible. He visited Brown in Jail; in
fact, was lodged behind the bars with
him for several days. He followed up
many stories that were floating around
about the disappearance of Tuna. He
visited the lake. studied the surround
ings that might have a possible bear
ing upon the matter, and finally came
to the conclusion that there was moth
ing further that could be done toward
solving the mystery.
No report has been received from
Grand Forks on the stomach sent in
for analysis, but this could not possibly
furnish any new evidence for the ap-
prehension of any person connected
with the Tuna mystery. AS soon as
the report is received from the univer.
sity the coroners jury will file formal
report.
