WATER PROOF TENTs..RAIN WILL
NOT SPOIL THE PER.
TORRANCE.

A sudden down-pour of rain or long
continued drizzle will have no effect
on the patrons of the AL G.. Barnes
Big 3-Ring Wild Animal Circus when it
exhibits here. The reason of this will
be apparent to everyone who sees the
large tents that will be erected for the
purpose of housing this wonderful per-
Torrance.
They are all constructed of "mercer-
ized' ducking. This marvellous inven-
ton has been used for years in water
proofing rain coats, ETC., but this is the
first year that it has been used for
tents.
This is quite stride in advance of
other shows and is simply in keeping
with the progressiveness of the mana.
cement Of this show. Beneath these
tents, spectators can sit in comfort and
ease during the heaviest of rains and
enjoy the performance as if they were
in a large and well-appointed theater

July l a new law went into effect
which reads as follows:
"No person shall demand, solicit,
ask or invite any payment or contribu-
ton for any religious, political, charita.
bic or other such cause from a person
who seeks to be or has been nominated
or elected to any Office; and no such
candidate or elected person shall make
any such payment or contribution if
it shall be demanded or asked during
the time he is candidate for nomi-
nation or election or an incumbent of
any Office. No payment or contribution
for an ypurpose shall be made con-
dition precedent to the putting of a
name on any caucus or convention bal
lot or nomination paper or petition, or
the performance of any duty imposed
by law on a political committee. The
penalty: Whoever violates any provis-
ion of this act, the punishment Of which

first of all, be obliged to get the names
of all officeholders and candidates for
any Office in the territory in which
they intend to canvass for do
nations and ascertain how many people
there are left that have no Office or
take chances of getting "pinched." In
the light Of all this, the contribution
plate which is passed each Sunday in
the church will either have to be placed
at the doorway of the church or the
candidates and officeholders may aban-
don the church rather than violate any
of the provisions of this act.

DEVILS LAKE AND X RAMSEY
COUNTY HAD A STEADY FALL
ALL LAST NIGHT.
GRAND FORKS COUNTY, WILLIS
TON AND MINOT ALSO GOT
A GOOD RAIN.

A very much needed rain which did
heap of good was general over Ram
sey county last night and this morning.
Starting in about midnight the rain
was steady until about Q clock this
morning. Everything got good soak
ing and as a result many q smiling
coutenance was evident in Devils Lake
today. 1t was of the usual million dol
lar variety and at Edmore and various
other portions of the county where it
was most needed, it cheered the spirits
of the entire farming community.
Not only was the rain general in
Devils Lake and Ramsey county, but
Grand Forks county also got an abun-
dance and message from Grand Forks
this morning brought the good news
that the soaking variety was evident
from midnight until this morning
North Of Grand Forks little rain was
reported, but south Of the university
city it rained considerable.
The Western portion of the state
also got it's share in time to be of some
benefit, according to word from Willis
ton and Minot, and while it was rather
late for this particular section there is
plenty of rejoicing at the Magic City
and the City of Opportunity as re-
suit Of the downpour.
With more showers predicted for this
section and in fact for North Dakota
at large there need be no cause for
anything but happiness.

NORTH DAKOTA RIFLE TEAM
WILL GET BENEFIT OF GOOD
INSTRUCTION.
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THIS
STATE WILL BE IN FOUR DIFF
FERENT SHOOTS.

The North Dakota rifle team will en-
ter four different competitive shoots
this year at Camp Perry, Ohio, accord.
ing to Capt. Geary, who is in charge
of the rifle work of the state. The
state team will be entered in the big
shoot which takes place between all
of the states who enter. The same
team is also allowed to enter the reg
mental team contest, owing to the fact
that there is but one regiment in this
state. Two or three men at least will
enter the individual contest which is
the first slated at Camp Perry, starting
on August 23rd, and it is extremely
probable that the five representatives
from Company K of Dickinson will
enter the company shoot.
1t was also decided this year that
instead of the usual ten days practice
shoot held in this state that the team
would leave ten days earlier and join
with the Wisconsin regiment at their
camp at Camp Douglas.
"The Wisconsin trip, which will ne
cessitate our leaving Fargo Aug. 18th,
will be saving Of time and money.
Under the old plan we had to pay the
transportation of the men to the state
shoot and back, established mess and
the other details incident upon such
camp. At Camp Wisconsin we can go
in to their mess, can use their targets
as many as we please, and can get the
benefit Of their instruction. Wisconsin
has splendid team and it will do us
lot Of good to be with them.'' -.

PROMINENT MINNEAPOLIS REAL
ESTATE MAN HAS JUST MADE
TOUR OF STATE.

There is going to be a big demand
for North Dakota real estate this fall
is the statement of J. F. Agate,
prominent Minneapolis real estate
man, who has just made a tour Of
North Dakota. This is evident from
the following dispatch from Minneapo-
lis:
People who are holding North Da-
kota land both in farms and towns and
cities, are feeling pretty gay these days
and they state that already there are
calls for prices and inquiries coming
in relative to what can be done in fav-
ored localities. Several land men who
make practice Of visiting some Of
the older localities in the middle west
for the purpose Of inducing the over
flow to go to North Dakota state this
year are certainly bringing many par
ties into their nets.
''This is going to be great year for
North Dakota,'' said J. F. Agate, on
his way back with party last week.
"They are pretty sturdy lot of peo-
pie up there and you dom hear much
complaint. They were hit awful hard
last year, but they know Dakota will
stand by them by making upin the long
run, and this year has more than full
filled the faith they have had in their
great state. There is going to be crop
up there that will put the state away
up in prosperity, and as usual, North
Dakota will be one of the best custom
ers of Minneapolis.
Gas for as land men are concerned.
we are feeling pretty good, for we ad-
vised lot of our customers to put
their money into Dakota farm land
last year when the prospects forced
prices way down. We were not sure
we would get returns so quickly, but
the fact is we are going to see all our
customers clean up nice little piece
of money on North Dakota property.
Of course, the crop outlook has put
us right with the farmers we brought
up there for last years crops but
they were pretty sensible fellows, any
way, and we didn't have so many
kicks as you would think. They have
had failures in the east. I don t see
how we are going to get less than
abnormal crop this year, and that
makes us pretty lively. Our mer-
chants are already buying, preparing
for the good times, and North Dakota
is going to have nice little boom this
fall and WINTER

H. Q. FISH, CURATOR OF NORTH
DAKOTA HISTORICAL sOCY.
MAKES DISCOVERY.
LEFT FOR GRAHAM's ISLAND TO.
DAY FOR FURTHER RESEARCH
LOOKING FOR CAVES.

The first Etiigy mound of the Indians
to be found in North Dakota, probably
totem Of the Sheyenne tribe, has
been located by II. c. Fish of Bismarck,
curator of the State Historical Society,
who has been in this section for the
past week and today was in Devils
Lake enroutc to Grahams Island for
still greater research.
The mound which was located is
about nine miles from the Sheyenne
and twcnty-four miles from Devils
Lake. 1t was located on the William
Milne place, where as many as thirty
othCr mounds were found in a wheat
field, all measuring in height from one
to six feet.
The Etfigy mound was surveyed by
Mr.. Fish and was found to be 1853 feet
long and los feet wide It was prob
ably the burial place Of the tribes and
will be gone over more thoroughly by
Mr.. Fish on his return from Grahams
Island.
An effort will be made to locate In
dian caves on the Grahams Island re-
serve, the old reserve of the Chippewas,
who are said to have had an earth
lodge. The Indians at Fort Totten
have reported that round rings of earth
have been seen there, but the caves
have never been explored.
The work that Mr.. Fish is doing is
indeed remarkable and when he com
pletes the research it is thought that
many new things with reference to the
tribes will be brought to light and be
