new LITIGATION
ABOUT BIG DRAIN
McHenry County Commission
ers Refuse to Pay Their
Assessment

Towner, n D., July 24.-Litigation
of new character will now be
brought about in connection with the
construction of the famous Mouse
river valley drainage ditch, and which
hss already been in the courts two
years. A suit involving the right of
three former drain commissioners of
McHenry county to continue in Of
flee is expected, and new members Of
the commission, appointed by the
county board of commissioners, will
appear as the contestants
In the laying of plans for the big
drain a joint drainage board was
created. The new McHenry county
commissioners are opposed to the
drainage plan and will not act with
Bottineau county in the matter. In
the meantime the old McHenry coun-
ty commissioners and the Bottineau
drain commissioners have certified an
assessment to the McMenry board of
regular commissioners, but that
board refuses to recognize such as
sessment and will not levy it. That
fact probably will bring on the liti-
cation.
The France Dredging company of
Ohio was recently given the contract
for the big job, which will cost about
$10C, 200.

Though Bleeding Profusely
Insisted on Having Fair
Fight

Stanley, N. D., July 24.-Though he
was bleeding profusely from wounds
that he had received from dagger

such a beating to his adversary that
the latter, against whom a charge OF

ferred, escaped while onlookers in

in restraint. The affair happened at
a dance near the city, the Finlander
and Larson becoming engaged in a

sisted on compelling the Finlander to
meet him in an open and fair fight
This was arranged by Larsons COM
panions and the Finlander, unarmed
was given a chance, only to receive
a terrible drubbing at the hands OF
the man he had previously stabbed
Larson had bad wound in the
breast from the dagger.

THE FINANCIAL
!. TRADE REVIEW
Crop Prospects Were the Con.
trolling Factor in Last
Weeks Market

New York. July 24-Speculation in
the securities end commodities mar
kets concerned itself largely last
week with the agricultural prospect.
Favorable indications as to the har-
vests were drawn from prevailing
weather conditions and speculative
sentiment became correspondingly
hopeful. The influence of crop pros
poets wss complicated to some ex-
tent by other factors, which help to
explain the irregular response.
The change in the cotton prospect
was the most notable of the week.
Relief from drouth in the region most
affected caused radical readjust-
ment of views as to the size Of the
crop. The violent falling of the price
of cotton was aggravated by extern
sive speculative commitments on the
long side. The cut in the price Of
muslins was an example of the bear
ing of the crop position on the tex
tile industry.
The grain crops were benefited by
the rains of the week, but misgiv-
ings over the outcome were not diz>
sipated so thoroughly as in the case
of cotton. Reports of damage to both
corn and spring wheat recurred to-
ward the close of the week.
The quick variations in the New
York city subway situation, were an
influence in unsettling financial SEN
timent and were responsible for fluc-
tuatios in the stock market when ne
gotiations were closing.
Interest rates fuctuated but slight
ly, but the freedom of banking ac-
commodations was affected by the
heavy Withdrawals of cash by the gov
ernment in taking up payments for
the Panama bonds. Rates for COM
mercial paper we're raised without
marked increase in offerings.
In the matter of governmental ac-
tivities, the market had to digest the
renewed suit to dissociate the Read
ing coal holdings from the transpor-
tation company; resumation of the
congressional inquiries into the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, and the
American Sugar Refining company,
and the apparent shaping of next
years political campaign, which the
activities suggest. The Morocco ques-
tion, kept the foreign influence on
the market on the side of restraint.
