fine RAINS
SATURDAY NIGHT
GREAT PART OF COUNTY WE'LL
DRENCHED AND RAINS IN
OTHER PARTS OF STATE

Following a hot day, with low bar
ometer, rain began falling Saturday
evening, the Sth inst, shortly after
8 O'Clock and gave the eastern part
of this county good wetting down.
The night before rain visited the
; northern part of the county at Ed
munds and west of the J. and N. line
and also between Courtenay and Ken
sal and Saturday night the last nam
ed locality got another and
heavier dose.
Rain fell at Jamestown for about
two hours, the gauge at the state
hospital showing 1922 inches of rain.
! The ground was wet to depth of
from 6 to 10 inches. Rain fell at
Ypsilanti and the Sharlow neiehbor-
hood, but not west of Alexanders.
A light shower at Windsor, but none
A, at Cleveland where it was needed
! badly. A fair rain fell at Eldridge,
but not much north of Parkhurst on
the ]. and N. and none is reported at
,, Buchanan, Pingree or Edmunds from
the Saturday storm.
East of the J. and N. line, however,
the county got good soaking. At
Spiritwood Lake the rain fell for over
two hours and most of the time hard,
, raising the lake or inches and
putting some water in the east lake
which had entirely dried up. The
roads were muddy Sunday and one
autoist was struck in the mud and
had to be hauled out.
Crops have already shown the good
results of the rain and while wheat is
heading out short in many fields, it
is now expected that the heads will
be well filled.
Late sowed grain will be specially
benefited. Flax is growing we'll in
most fields. Barley and oats will be
greatly benefited and the burned
spots in wheat fields will, in many
cases, disappear. Wheat recovers
rapidly under favorable conditions
and many fields that were counted
as about lost Saturday, will make
"half crops" to bushels per acre
if good weather prevails. Other
fields less damaged will now give in
creased yields that would not have
been possible without the rain.
Rain fell at Oakes all night Sat
urday, for three hours at Dickey and
between jamestown and Fargo the
country along the N. P. refreshed by
more or less rain. The Red River
Valley generally reported rain that
began falling late in the afternoon
and continued for the better part OF
the night. A light rain is reported
at Valley City and in Barnes county.
Rain in South Dakota
Norfolk, Neb., July "a great
rain amounting to an inch and half
at Norfolk and nearly two inches in
Rosebud county, covered northern
Nebraska and southern South Dakota
last night and early this morning.
The rain extended one hundred and
fifty miles west of Norfolk to AIMS
worth and two hundred miles north
west of Norfolk into South Dakota.
Rain was badly needed by the corn
and now a bumper crop seems assured
in that territory.

that as to the men losing their Jobs

CANADA SEARCHES WORLD TO
MARKET HER ASJrRpJ

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. S.-Finance
Minister Fielding today took steps to
correct what Is regarded here as an
erroneous impression in Great Bri-
tain regarding the Canadian-Ameri-
can reciprocity agreement.
1t can be said the Canadian gov
ernment viewed with some alarm the
ldea reflected by portion of the Bri-
tlsh press that the agreement would
nave detrimental effect upon the
trade between Canada and the mother
country and would adversely affect
the preference granted to Great Bri-
tain.
Minister Fielding haq taken up the
matter with Lord Strathcona, Can
adas high commissioner, In London,
ana on behalf of the Canadian gov
ernment has sent the followig ca
blegram;
Canada Is seeking markets every
where for her surplus products sub
sidizlng steamship lines and sending
out commercial agents. Would ii not
be ridiculous In the pursuit. of such a
policy to refuse to avail herself of
the markets of the great nation lying
alongside?

OF the agreement deals with nation
al products which Great Britain does
not send u.s.
The range Of manufactures affect
ed Is comparatively small and in most
cases the reductions are small
IT appears to be assumed In some
quarters that the tariff rates agreed
upon discriminate in favor of the Uni
ted States and against Great Britain.
There is no foundation for this.
I'm eve"y case Great Britain will
stu have the same rate or lower
one. Canadas right to deal with the
British preference as she pleases re-
mains untouched by the agreement.
The adoption on the agreement prob
ably will lead to some further revis-
ion of Csnadian tariff in which the
Canadian parliament will be entirely
free TO Fix the British preferential ta-
riff at any rates that may be deemed
proper"

Il may say, however, that the in

Mormons, but on the contrary expect
to enlist them. at least as friends, if
not as allies. They dare not molest
the Mormons to any great extent be-
cause of their being citizens of the

have been compelled to confiscate, as
II were. the property of the Saints in
order to further their campaign, they
have given money and securities in re-

the Mexican government will never
carry out its threats and compel cit-
