ports from twenty three counties out

sections of the state, generally indi-
cate the urgent need of moisture and
cooler weather, In many counties the
wheat Is heading with the straw only
six to eight inches in length, and the
heavy stooling, consequent on the cold
and backward spring is dying out from
lack of rain.
Dickey Mcintosh, Hettinger, Dunn.
Mckenzie and Logan counties send
more encouraging news, but reports
from the heavier crop producing conn

all hope of duplicating last wears av-
erage yield has for the state been
practically abandoned even under the
most favorable climatic conditions

This applies practically to all small
grains with the possible exception Of
flax, which under favorable conditions
might yet reach an average yield Corn

ably be an average crop.
Hay, especially upland. is very short
but tame grasses and native hay on
low lying lands are fair, excepting the
Mouse river country, where a shoaA
cut is anticipated.

Local Crop Experts Receives Reports
of Rains in the West

e. Van Houten, the crop expert for
the millers, sent out a dozen or more
queries yesterday for crop and wealth
err conditions covering the west from
Moorhead and Fargo and Western
Minnesota. This morning Mr. Van
Houten received replies from Casselton,
Valley City and Jamestown and Rugby.
From these points the reports We're
that conditions were all that could be
desired, there had been general pre-
cipitation some points of a drenching
extent so that there be no need OF
worry for ten days. No messages had
been received from the north. Gen.
eral reports are that unless there are
some good rains very soon over Clay
and adjoining counties there will be a
very short hay crop. Observer Grasse
says his reports this morning gave In
dications which mean we ought to have
some nice local showers tonight or to-
morrow and that they would arrive
from the direction Of Calgary which
point had the greatest amount OF pre-
cipitation during the past twenty four
hours as follows 46-100ths, all other
points were less than 10.

Fergus Falls Free Press yesterday:
The leaders of the Anti Saloon

some weeks ago when they threat
ened bolt from the republican state
convention, unless a county option
plank is inserted in the state plat
form. The threat had a bad effect
as was natural, and it was plain that
reaction Immediately set in against
county option. If the men at the
head of the county option movement
were less arrogant and more astute,
their case would make far greater
progress.

REST AFTER MEALS.

Hurried eating of meals, followed
Immediately by some employment
that occupies the whole attention
and takes up all or nearly all of the
physical energies, is sure to result in
dyspepsia in one form or another.
Sometimes it shows itself in excess
siye %irritability, a sure indication
that nerve force has been exhausted.
The double draught, in order to
digest the food and carry on the
business, has been more than nature
could stand without being thrown
out Of balance. Nature does not
do two things at q time and do both
well, as a rule. All know that when
a force is divided it is weakened. If
the meal were eaten slowly, without
preoccupation Of the mind, and the
stomach allowed at least half an
hours chance to get its work we'll
undertaken before the nervous force
is turned in another direction pa
tients suffering from dyspepsia
would be comparatively few.-Fam-

The East side fiat dweller was
telling her neighbor how frightened
she had been the night before, How
she knew there had been a burglar
in the little hall that separated their
flat after the fashion on the East
side, with transoms over all the
doors. How all of a sudden she had
been awakened at three o'clock-she
had heard all the clocks strike-by a
bright light in a long line across her
bed, a light from the transom, COM
ing across the music room into her
bedroom. How she was sure it was
the flash of a burglars lantern in
the little hall. How she lay there
painting half breathless till it faded
away.
"Silly," said her neighbor.

THE KELEK
A Peculiar Raft Boat Sacred to the
River Tigris.

A Peculiar Raft Boat Sacred to the
River Tisris.
From Diarbekr to Bagdad, as a
crow might do it, the distance is
about 400 miles. As the kelek goes
"a c%ontrivance sacred to the river
Tigris since the days of Adam and
Eye-the distance is nigh upon a
thousand miles and the time occu-
pied anywhere between eight and
twenty days. In "The Short Cut to
India" David Fraser tells of the
kelek and of his journey.
The kelek is easily constructed.
Take any number Of inflated goat
skins, from 100 up to 500, and tie
them in rows underneath a frame
work of poplar poles. One or two
pairs of great oars complete the
ship, and it is ready for crew, cargo
and passengers.
When a "globe trotter" ships
aboard a kelek some of the cargo is
left behind, and upon the space
thus left vacant a hut is erected. A
light wooden framework is hung
round with cotton walls that roll up
or let down, according to the desire
of the occupant. In addition, the
roof has a thick grass mat to keep
out the SUM-.
The traveller enjoys entire pri-
vaey as regards the people on his
own kelek, for he gives orders that
nobody is to come abaft his gable.
At the end of his little house and
projecting astern of tbe raft is a
tiny bathroom protected from pub
lie gaze by cloth walls.
Thus the kelek combines all the
advantages of a modern mansion,
living room, kitchen, sanitary ar
rangements, abundant light and air
and panoramic scenery that is an
eternal feast for the eye.
We sailed one morning at 10
o'clock. with the temperature over a
hundred in the shade. But heat may
be corrected by a minimum of
clothes and a maximum of cold
water. The Tigris comes straight
from the mountain SHOWS of Kur-
distan, and its flood was like ice
compared with the fire of the air.
For a man who could not put on
his own socks or tie the buttons of
his w%aistcoat and doubled up, more
over, with a chronic lumbago that
first plunge overheard was rather a
venture. l looked for a long time
before 1 leaped, thinking the while
that, although a man may never
forget how to sing or dance or pray,
he can never forget how to swim,
and then l shut my eyes and jump
ed. For my faith l was magnif-
Gently rewarded, and that first swim
in the trimming Tigris was ALSO
lutely and completely glorious.
There was mild adventure too.
Suddenly the water deepened, and l

Just as l caught up with it the riv-

aboard, but the jagged protecting
poles Of the framework made
throwing oneself forward most diff
fcult. The pace was so great that
no sooner had l lifted a foot than
the kelek slipped away from it, and
with my weak hands l could not
help the situation. a deepening Of
the water resulted in rescue from a
