NORTH DAKOTA CONDITIONS.

The Forum has endeavored to tel
the facts about the crop conditions il
this state as it has seen it. 1t has no
sought to make 1t appear there is 6
bumper crop - when there are
hundreds Of thousands of acres thai
will scarcely pay to harvest. Neither
has it endeavored to make it appear
the entire state has gone to the bow
vows just because crop conditions
have not been universally good.
In it's news columns mention has
been made Of the bad crops in some
localities and the good in others. The
threshing machines have started on
winter rye and barley. Some spring
wheat is in the shock and there will be
a rush of harvesting work from now
on. The threshing machine will soon
tell the story-and there will be no
guesswork about it.
1t Is rather amusing to note the cry
of certain people regarding newspaper
crop reports. One element, notably the
grain growers, are by no means averse
to having pessimistic reports go abroad
in the evident belief that such re-
ports will boost the prices of grain all
over the universe and they will secure
higher prices for what they sell. A
few are so intent in that belief that
they wax indignant and write abusive
letters to the publishers of boosting
crop reports. A moments considera-
ton would convince these critics that
the elevator men and spectators have
more direct methods of securing ac-
curate crop reports than through the
press. They have their agents scat
tered all over the grain area and take
the word of their personal representa-
tives before they will buy or sell-boost
or lower prices-on mere newspaper
reports.
Then there are other readers Of the
newspapers-men interested in the sale
of land-who decry the publication of
even truthful reports telling of crop
failures-of adverse conditions locally.
or over the state. They contend that
such articles nullify all their efforts to
secure immigrants-to sell town lots
and farms.
1t is impossible for any newspaper to
please all classes of readers, Few
newspaper men wish to misrepresent
such things. They prefer to tell the
truth and when misstatements are
made they are far more often the re-
suit of misleading information than
through any intent to make erroneous
statements.
1t is a silly ass who would in and
out OF season boost and boost, when he
knew conditions were adverse ONLY

Langsford Journal: That the re-
publican party in the state of North
Dakota Is getting together is evident
by the personnel of the state ticket
nominated at the primaries on July 80.
The ticket nominated is one that the
most particular republican can con-
scientiously vote for. 1t is about an
even break between the So called pro-
gressive and so-called stalwart fac
tons, as they both have q fine repre-
sentation on 1t. For United States
senator there is a progressive and stall
wart candidate; for congress the same
Is true, and on down through the en-
tire ticket is this noticeable. 1t seems
that the individual voters have exer-
clsed their best judgment in the Sc
lection of the men. they wish to have
represent them, and this is a good
sign. 1t shows that the people are
thinking, and this thinking is leading
them to bring the republican party to-
gether not only in the country, but in
the state and nation as well. In the
country factionalism did not have any
place, and the best men won on their
merits alone. The same is true about
all the state ticket.
Today, after the smoke of the con-
test has blown away, it appears as If
the united republican party will go to
the polls in November and make it i'm
possible for a democrat to get state
office in this republican state of North
Dakota There may be some men on
the ticket that you do not exactly
hke' but If you wish to cement the
republican party this will be your OPP
portunity to do so. Both factions
should be satisfied, as they have equal
and there are honors

JEFFRIEs IS TIMID
Hid From Sunday Visitors and Showed
Bashfulness ..s+4.

Ben Lomond CAL, May 16.--The big
crowd that journeyed here from San
Francisco yesterday to see Jim Jefffries
in his announced public Sabbath work.
out learned that the former champion is
an exceedingly timid man.
All his years in the ring have not worn
off the shyness Jeffres early evinced
when called on to perform in public. Be-
fore he appeared In the gymnasium one
of his camp companions remarked: "Jef-
fries would give a hundred-dollar bill If
he could get out of facing the crowd this
afternoon And the truth of the assertion
was attested by the fighters behavior.
When he began skipping the rope he
kept his face to the wall and his back
to the spectators, and when he started
his shadow boxing he stood in a corner
as far removed from the curious eyes as
possible. But his bashfulness wore OFF
when he warmed up in his boxing with
Bob Armstrong.
Fully a third of the large throng who
witnessed Jeffries' exhibition yesterday
were women and children, members OF
automobile parties who entered the Camp
with male escorts.

TEX RICHARD TO REFEREE BIG BATTLE;
JOHNSON COMPLETELY BLUFFS BERGER
AND SCORES VICTORY FOR HIMSELF
Richard made the following statement;

Richard made the following statement
'.ro straighten- out this affair I am
willing to act providing my name is
agreeable to all concerned / don't want
to act and / hope before the fight takes
place that Jeffries and Johnson will agree
upon another man. If they can come to
terms I am perfectly willing to step down
and out. But If they can reach no othef
agreement will hoY back down.
In spite of the agreement there is a
feeling of distrust among those who at
tended the session that the last word had
not been said. and that sooner or later
the referee question again must be taken
up for consideration. 1t has been rtmored
that to give the impression everything is
in working order Richard has been named
until the contestants have further time to
look over the field This feeling, in fact
has been strengthened by the statement
made by Richard.

San Francisco. May 16.-Tex Rickard,
who is associated with Gleason in the
promotion Of the Jeffries-Johnson con-
test, and four years ago engineered the
Gens-Nelson fight at Goldfield, was to-
day selected the referee for the battle
between the two heavyweights.
This settlement of the difficulty came
when II looked as If the meeting to se-
lect referee would end in another dead
lock, and after bitter words had passed
between Johnson and Sam Berger, JEFF
fries manager.
johnson first suggested Richard, but
Berger refused to consider the Nevada
man, saying he would not accept him on
account OF his inexperience. The coored
champion declared he would stand pat
on the three men he had mentioned-Jack
Welsh, Eddie Graney. and Rckard-and
Berger Indignantly replied that he would
leave the meeting. Then there came a
further clash between Berger and john
son, in which ugly words were used by
Berger and threats made by Johnson
Berger stood up as if to leave the meet
ing place.
$50 you want Richard, do you?" he
aueried Of Johnson.
Yes" came the answer.
"Well, all right replied Berger, and
the crowd broke into a cheer as II finally
realized one of the difficult points had
been settled. a4.. a.... .s..

he did, and muttered among themselves
thai If Berger repeated what he had said
he would never leave the room.
You're just an educated dog" said
Johnson to Berger. Now, come out and
fight If you want to. I'll give $1,000 II you
will come right out with me and box just
three rounds" s
They were finally auieted down and
the session resumed.
At the start of the meeting Berger
again named the five men he wanted
Eddie Smith, Billy Roach Charley Eyton,
Phil Wand and Johnny Perget.
Johnson renamed Welsh and Graney,
and said he would stick to them He
intimated further that he would allow no
one, not even the promoters, to do the
selecting for him.
All sorts of compromises were suggest
ed. Berger said he was willing to have
the sporting editors of the five San Fran
cisco papers name the referee, or that he
would allow these same sporting editors
to act in conjunction with the two pro-
motors.

Ben Lomond, May 1s.-Because of ex-

work today to the morning and devoted
the afternoon to fishing. in company with
Harry Green of Santa Cruz. Bag-punch-

exercise. Jeffries perspired freely ana
took off something like four pounds.
Jeffries and his fishing partner did not
return to camp until late this afternoon.
