The Fourth of July always brings
some accidents. Fortunately, there
were few in this vicinity. So far as
reported, there were none beyond
minor injuries from fireworks, and
that is no doubt due to the fact that
the Fourth of July is being advanced
year by year. 1t is possible fifty to
celebrate the independence of the ma
ton without endangering life and
limb. The greatest patriots are not
always the noisiest. The best citizens
present or prospective are not always
those who fire off the greatest guam
tity of explosives. A Fourth of July
without any explosives whatever is
not impossible in the next ten or
fifteen years. And when it comes,
many of US will wonder that there
was ever an encouragement of so vast
a waste of money, time and nervous
energy as is annually recorded in the
celebration of the Fourth of July with
noise, powder smoke and burned fin
gers.

together with a copy of the rules gov
erning these sO-called travelling libra.
ries Each farmer in the community
can then draw a book that suits his
fancy, take il to his own home and
keep it for two or four weeks Then
return it to the secretary of the club
and draw another book. After six
months the entire case of books is re-
turned to the library commission at
Bismarck, and another, a different
travelling library, may be secured. The
only agreement is that all the books
be sent back to Bismarck in good con-
dition. That is why these six farmers
act as guarantors that none of the
books will be lost or mutilated. The
only expense to them is the freight,
which on a box of books like the one
described amounts to about Is or so
cents. Thus every farmer in the state
of North Dakota is given an oppor-
tunity to read all the books he wishes
at practically no cost.
Besides the farmers library, there
is also the general travelling library,
and this, as already stated, contains
twenty-five to fifty of the best books
on all sorts of subjects. In every col
lection of this kind there will be books
of interest to the farmer, his wife
and his children, and the conditions
for securing it are the same as those
for the farmers library. Henceforth,
in North Dakota, at least, no one liv-
ing in a. rural community need envy
the city dweller his opportunity of
reading all he cares to without any
expense to him. A travelling library
adds UNNECESSARILY to the attractive
ness of the farm home"

NEW MEMBERS RE.
cEIvED INTO CHURCH LAST
SUNDAY
Bismarck District in FIourishing Con-
dition-TweIve New Churches and
Five Parsonages Added to List.

District Superintendent S. A. Dan
ford of the Bismarck district of the
Methodist church, and S. S. Mission
airy Taylor have been spending the
past few days at Gwyther, N. D., look
ing after Methodist interests in that
locality. They organized M. E. Sun
day school and received twe1ty-one
members into the church last Sun
day.
The new church building is nearing
completion. 1t will be dedicated early
in September by Rev. Danford.
Twelve new church buildings and
five new parsonages are either fin
ished or in process of construction in
the Bismarck district at the present
time. Supt: Danford plans to have
them all dedicated before the state
conference meets in Bismarck Oct. 5.
Several more churches would have
been built this year If the crops had
been good. Even as it is, the average
of one new house of worship per
month is not so bad.

RECORD week IN
LOCAL MARKETS
WHOLESALE FRUIT HOUSES ARE
DOING TREMENDOUS
BUSINESS
Lewis Vdger Company do Nearly Ten
ness for the Fourth Of July Trade.

Last week was record week in
the local wholesale fruit markets.
The Lewis Vidger Co. lacked only
four hundred dollars in order OF
doing a ten thousand dollar business
for the week, and the Otal for the
past month ran we'll over the thirty
thousand mark.
The Stacy Fruit Co. also had a big
week, and their firm has been doing
tremendous business. The princi-
pal products handled are bananas,
oranges, lemons, melons, California
fruits, tomatoes and other fruits and
vegetables.
Prospects are that the greatest fruit
shipments that have ever come from
the west will be rounded up this year.
A recent North Yakima paper stated
that the shipments of fruit from that
section would equal train As miles
long. Large shipments are expected
also from Wenatchee, Hood River and
Clarkston, all big fruit shipping
points. Help is scarce for gathering.
This does not include any shipments
from Idaho or eastern Montana, where
the fruit crop promises to be very
large. There will be more grapes,
berries, peaches, pears and plums
than ever sent from the west in a
single year, and a good many of the
western catalogues which are taking
the place of the southern fruit. While
the eastern fruit crop is practically
gone up, owing to draught and other
causes, the deficiency will be more
than made up by the abundance from
the west.

Fargo Forum: There has been
more or less fun over the location OF
the U, S. Indian school lat or near
Mandan, and the manner IN winch
Bismarck captured it. The school IS
nailed down in the Capital City for
ali time, and the buildings occupy d
pleasing site on the banks OF the MIS-
souri,. 1t is situated above all pos
sible high water marks and within a
few feet of the stream-along wnlcn
many of the people were born.
There is an administration building
and another structure used for COM
bination dormitory and school rooms
with the west half of the building for
the boys and the east half OF the
building for the girls. There IS
laundry, barn and other structures:
More buildings are to be constructed
soon to accommodate the rapidly IN
creasing number of students.
Being situated between the Stand
ing Rock and the Berthold reservation
the school draws from both places.
The scenes are around the famous
camping grounds and hunting grounds
and battlefelds of the Indians and Is
to them a historic location.
The school Is under the direction or
Superintendent Davis, for many years
in the service. He is an experienced
and trained educator with competent
and talented corps of assistants. The
work of the school is happy COM

WONDERFUL SOIL

jamestown Alert: Something that
North Dakota people and Stutsman
county land owners can regard with
considerable satisfaction, whatever
may be the results OF the present
years crops, is to know that the soil
will stand such IA heavy punishment
of drought as has occurred this year
and crops still look green and fresh.
In this county, with scarcely more
than one small rain, in ten weeks,
period in which the growing crops and
all plant life require moisture, the
grain crops still look fresh and green
in most parts of the county.
They show the wonderful vitality OF
the soil. With Il rain within the next
few days, many fields OF grain in this
county will yield a fair crop which at
prospective high prices would be
equal in returns to a larger yield. The
country cannot be blamed for the
damage, in the loss of the yield. The
soil and the subsoil show that our
lands are superior in many respects
to the higher priced lands are OF the
more southern states, where crops are
unable to stand the drought as we'll as
in this region.
Nature puts both her plants and
animals to test of endurance
in the northern regions that is
not required of animals and plants
further south; and this is why the
hardest and best races Of all ages
of mankind, and the strongest and
most vigorous food plants, trees and
shrubs have come from the northern
attitudes. They are Injured to hard
ships, and are tried and tested by con-
ditiOns that would destroy quickly the
animals and plants reared under diff
ferent conditions and therefore less
hardy and enduring.
1t is d good time to boost North
Dakota land values.

CROPS AND MONEY

Henry Clew's weekly financial re-
view says:
Our bankers have been more or less
apprehensiye regarding the western
situation, where "a spell OF unusual
prosperity had removed all checks
upon extravaganza and reckless specu
lation. 1t is known that many of the
western financial institutions, national
banks excluded, were committed to
extensive land operations, and that
the overeXtension of credit thus pro-
duced will oblige the interior banks
to depend much more heavily than
usual upon New York to finance the
coming crops. In all probability this
when the time of anticipated STIR
gency arrives it will be found to have
been largely discounted. Neverthe-
less, there still remains some uneasi-
ness regarding the western banking

plicated by unfavorable news regard
ing the crop of spring wheat. These
latter reports have undoubtedly been
utilized to their full value. Conceding
that some injury has happened in the
spring wheat region, this is really only
a local affair, since the promise is for
a large yield of winter wheat, and
the total wheat crop promises to be
about an average one. There is still
time for improvement for the remain
der of the spring wheat crop. Accord
ing to the most reliable reports, the
outlook is for big crop of corn, which
will more than compensate for any
possible loss in wheat. Corn Is OF
much more importance to the rail-
roads, inasmuch as it not only pro-
yides much freight, but Is the most
important element in the preparation
of cattle and hogs for the market.
The cotton crop is in fair condition,
and according to the government re-
mort there is good chance for full
yield. The hay crop also promises
TO be large. Az a whole the crop

A CONTEST OF BRUTEs

Some supersensitive advocates OF
white supremacy will be sorrowful be-
cause the brute Johnson defeated the
brute Jeffries in the arena at Reno.
Both men are splendid types of brute
development and as contest between
brutes it was without doubt entertain
ing to the big and little brutes who
watched it, and eventually saw the
white brute beaten and crushed by
the black one. We take it that when
a white brute meets black one in
brute contest, he can hardly plead
for sympathy on the ground that his
color is that Of the superior race.
When he descends to the level OF the
brute fighter in a ring, he takes his
chance as a brute with the other
brute, and no sympathy need be vast
ed on him. And when it is considered
that his fifteen rounds Of beating
earned him somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, it will be seen
that he is we'll paid for whatever
physical and mental suffering he may
have undergone through his beating
and defeat.
Aside from the other features of
the battle" it is especially interest
ing rs proving how difficult it is for
fighter who has been out OF training
for five or six years, and who has
trodden the path of champagne and
Holsters, to come back" His muscles
long unused are t1abby and fatty. His
vital organs are in the same condition.
He becomes lazy and indolent, loath
to exercise, and spurred to train only
by the hope of winning the big end
of big purse and to avoid the shame
of defeat. He has no Fighting heart. y
He fights because he is driven into
/ a corner and must make a showing.
| Jeffries went into the ring worn,
slapped in strength and fighting spirit,
heavy, slow-a moving hulk of flesh
without spirit or stamina. He got
what all pitchers get that go too often

years some younger and tougher
brute will batter Johnson down and
he will be has been" unless he
is wise enough to retire now with the
"laurels" he has won and the fortune
he has earned. But brute hunger for
notoriety and avarice for money leads
worn out men into the ring, and the
story is always the same. Jeffries did
not come back He is beaten

whatever shock his pride has suffered

Census Charges
Stir Up Cities
to Make Protest
Portland and Tacoma Are Aroused at
Allegations-Possible Basis of
Tacoma Excess.

TACOMA, Wash. oct. 17-Protests
against Census Director Durands allow
ance Of S2912 as the population OF Tacoma
and demands for a recount will be wired
TO Washington tomorrow By the Chamber
of Commerce and the Commercial club.
Little credence Is placed here in Director
Durand's charges OF fraud against Special
Agent Stacey VI. Corwin Corwin left Ia
coma soon after the taking OF the census
ended in April saying he was going either
to the Philippines or Panama lie had
formerly been in the government service
in both places, but had not determined
which hc would visit when he left.
Corwin's one blunder, It Is declared. was
over-zealousness. Four days after the cen
sus began It was seen that with only
seNenty-three enumerators the entire city
could be counted IN the time allotted. The
civic organizations took a hand. distrbut-
inE upwards Of $4,000 blanks Toward the
close Of the census flood OF special slips
began coming In. Corwin had charge OF
the comparing OF these slips with the reg
ular schedules, but was unable to keep
pace with the supply He asserted at the
time that the names we're all bona fide. but
that there was not time to enter all on the
regular schedules by the districts in which
! their addresses we're given Rather than
, not have them included II is said he al
lowed the names to be entered promiscu-
ously. II Is believed that Irregularities of
this kind are at the bottom OF the charges
against Corwin.
