Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 16.-That

Of the crop prospects in North Dakota
within the past week is the trend of

in some sections of the state, while in
other regions where the outlook was
satisfactory 1t appears that the rain
has been extremely beneficial.

AVERAGE FLAx YIELD SURE
copious Rains Greatly Revive Droop.
ing Vegetation.

In his weekly crop report Agricul-
tural Commissioner Gilbreath says:
"Copious rains in practically all
parts of the state while in a measure
hindered haying and early harvesting
operations, nevertheless have been of
inestimable benefit in reviving droop-
ing vegetation of all kinds. Barring
early frost an average crop of fax
seems now to be reasonably assured,
which on the slightly increased acre
age indicated early in the spring
should mean from 100000 to 49,
COO, 900 bushels for the state.
wheat harvest is general in some
counties and, except in the most
northern tier Of counties, will be quite
general in a week or ten days. Thresh-
ings of winter velvet chat wheats and
rye are yielding much better than ex-
pected and are of fine quality. The
quality of barley threshed may be a
little off color owing to the recent
rains, but that threshed prior to the
late precipitation is of the very best
mailing. quality.
"Corn is very generally reported to
be in excellent condition, although
somewhat retarded in places by cool
weather, and, unless all signs fail, will
be the largest crop in the history of
the cereal in North Dakota.
"Black smut in wheat and red smut
in oats have been reported in places,
and on account of the former there is
no doubt that the yield will have to be
shaved somewhat from former esti-
mates. AS a whole reports are as IA
vorable as could we'll he, considering
the previous damage done by drouth.."

is under arms. In addition to her
own police and re~inforcements from
the surrounding cities, 5000 troops, of
infantry and cavalry under General
Mackinnon Wood are quartered in the

The riot in Great Homer street,
while not directly connected with the
strike, has had a good effect In its
outcome, as the rowdy element was
subdued. The trouble began when a
constable arrested a man for having
assaulted a woman.
Roughs rescued the prisoner from
the officer and police reserves, who
were hurriedly called, could not o n

in wrecking the shops of the neighbor-
hood. Then 200 troops brought
to the scene. The soldiers were at

ties and other missiles hurled from
roofs and windows of nearby build

Several soldiers and police received
shocking wounds. A bayonet charge
was ordered and when this failed to

dis.iarged over the heads of the riot

Bullets. Many of the mob were ar

In the forenoon things were some

Chief Executive Does Not Mince
Words in condemning This Feature
Of the Arizona Constitution and He
Considers It So Pernicious That He
Refuses to Attach His Signature.
Washington, Aug. 16.-President
Taft, in a special message to the house
Of representatives, vetoed the joint
resolution providing for the admission
Of New Mexico and Arizona to state
hood. His reason for exercising the
executive power of veto was based on
his thorough disapproval of the recall
Of judges clause in the Arizona consti-
tuition. The fact that New Mexico's
statehood was bound up with that of
Arizona meted out to her the SAM
fate and neither territory can come
into the Union at this time unless
friends Of the joint resolution in con-
gress can muster the two-thirds vote
necessary to pass the resolution over
the presidents veto. This may be at
tempted.
The president did not spare words
in condemning the recall feature OF
the Arizona constitution, which, he
said, would compel judges to make
their decisions under legalized terror.
ISM" The recall provision would
operate against all elective officers of
Arizona, including both county and
state judges. When Is per cent Of
the voters of the previous election Pc
titioned for a special election to re-
move an official such an election
would be compulsory.
Calls Provision PernieIous.
1.-THE provision of the Arizona con
stitution," the president says, "in its
application to county and state judges,
seems to me so pernicious in its effect.
90 destructive of independence in the
Judiciary, so likely to subject the
rights of the individual to the possible
tyranny of a popular majority, and
therefore. to be so injurious to the
cause of free government. l must dis
approve a constitution containing 1t"
Much of the message was devoted to
q discussion of the functions OF the
courts under the constitution. The
president dwelt at considerable length
on the necessity for freeing the judi.
ciary as much as possible from poll
tics or popular influence. And. refer
ring to the recall provision, he asks:
"Could there be a system more in
~geniously devised to subject judges to
momentary gusts of popular passion
than this"
The message was received with
grsat interest by the house, largely
because of the presidents long asso-
citation with the judiciary.

BEAR ATTACKS
SHEEPHE RIDE r

! We get the information by letter
from E. c. Pence who is camped
near Meadows with his family that
on the night Of July 9th Herman
I Tegler, a sheep herder In the en-
ploy of P. E. Short was attacked in
his camp by an infuriated bear and
horribly mangled. He was brought
10 Meadows where his wounds were
dressed and it is thought he will
recover.
Tegler was tending the sheep
and was camped about two miles
west of the half way house between
the big and little Payette Lakes. On
the night of the 9th about mid
night hearing a noise he started to
get out of bed TO investigate. AS
he started to raise up in bed the
bear grabbed him across the top
OF the head with its mouth inflicting
many bad wounds. Getting hold of
him the animal then bit and
chewed him all over the body, tear
ing a huge hole in his side and ter
ribly mangling his arms and legs.
Mr.. Pence states in the letter
that he assisted in the dressing of
his wounds at Meadows and that it
is simply impossible to describe them
as he was literally chewed to pieces.
In his right side there were three
cuts from three to four inches long
and from The nature of them it
seems certain that the bear had her
teeth locked behind his ribs in an
effort TO carry him away.
Az in the case of Joe Lucas who
was recently injured by bear, Teg-
lers dogs were the means of saving
his life as they annoyed the bear
until he was able to get away. He
succeeded by daylight the next day
in reaching a neighboring camp
where he was taken in charge and .
sent to Meadows.
A number of people think that
this animal is the same one that at
tackled Joe Lucas recently although
1t is fifteen miles from the place
where he was camped to where Teg-
ler's camp was located.
The bear scares in that region
Mr.. Pence says are keeping great

from fishing and picking huckle-ber-
