INCREASED ACREAGE
Under Cultivation in Ransom County
Shown by Statistics,

Lisbon, N. D., Aug. 23.-That Ran
som county this year has an increas-
ed acreage under cultivation Of over
10000 acres is the sowing that is
made by the compilation of returns
on crop statistics, prepared by the
county auditor. This increase brings
the total cultivated acreage in the
county up to 275,S19 acres, as against
237,71S acres year ago. One of the
conditions found in the report is that
Of the doubling Of the wheat acre
age, while the same condition holds
true with relation to the corn crop.
Winter wheat increased fifteen fold
in the year, while the flax acreage
was cut in two. The report, the first
to be made in the state, is valuable
in rejecting the general situation in
counties similarly situated.

FREAK LIGHTNING
One Bolt Set Fire and the Other
Extinguislled the Flames,

Gardena, N. D., Aug, 23.-Freak
lightning bolt stories go by the
boards under the record that has been
established by two bolts that struck
the VIM. Block home near this city.
The first of these bolts set fire to
the house, while the second bolt, fol-
lowing in few moments, put the
same fire out.
Mr.. Block had just raised in his
bed to find one wall of his room on
fire after the first bolt had struck,
and was attempting to gain his bear
ings when another crash came The
entire wall was forced out and laid
flat on the ground, where the heavy
rain put the fire out There are two
big holes in the roof of the house to
indicate the paths of the bolts.

STOLE OWN NOTES
Lighthouse Became Light Fingered
and Stole Valuable Paper.

Lidgerwood, N. D., Aug. 23.-That
A. A. Lighthouse took advantage OF
the fact that he had his back turned
for moment and stole notes for
s275 on which he himself was the
signer, and that he afterwards wanted
to settle for SIS. is the charge made
by ]. H. Movius Of this city. Light
house is under arrest on charge Of
grand larceny and will be tried at
the next term of the district court.
1t appears that Lighthouse was in
Mr.. Movious' Office with the evident
intention Of paying the notes; that
they were produced and the they were
laid on the desk For a moment,
while Movius had his back turned, it
it claimed that Lighthouse stole the
papers.

IRRIGATION WORK
TAKES NEW STEPS
Projects in North Dakota Are
Numerous and Results
Gained Beneficial

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 23.-Much
more interest is being shown at the
present time in irrigation matters in
,he state than ever before. The state
engineer is receiving many calls for
his services in the laying out of irri-
cation dams and bitches, and in maxi
ig out permits for the appropriation
Of water from the different streams In
the western part of the state.
About 5000 acres are being irrigat-
ed on the upper Mouse river this sea-
son, and the results obtained have
been highly satisfactory, and the use
Of the irrigation water has led many
others along this stream to make ap-
plication and to ask the state en-
gineer for assistance in laying out
bitches and designing pumping plants.
On August % the state engineer has
meeting with interested farmers at
the town of Regent on the Milwaukee
line east of New England, and on
August 20 a meeting with farmers on
the Dog Tooth creek near Thinner.
1t is expected that several thousand
acres of land will be irrigated along
the Cannon Ball and the Dog Tooth
and other tributary creeks within the
next two years.
In Mclean county the farmers along
Garrison creek are showing very
much interest, and the state engineer
will spend several days there with
them during the coming week.
The success obtained from irriga-
ton on the Copenhaver ranch, on the
hyy
using the water from Douglas creek
has stimulated the farmers to greater
activity in this direction in that
neighborhood. 1t also appears likely
that several farmers will put in
pumping plants on the Missouri river
along this bottom and on the Han
cock bottom west Of Underwood.
In Oliver county part of the Gaines
ranch will be supplied with irriga-
ton water by the construction Of
dam on Missouri coulee.
In Mckenzie county the Farwell
brothers are constructing dam and
bitches on Bennie Piere creek and are
planning within the next few years
to put in several hundred acres of
alfalfa for stock feed.
The success with alfalfa under irri-
cation in North Dakota has been
phenomenal. On the ranch of John
Yegen, southeast Of Bismarck, over
two tons of alfalfa seed will be har-
vested in addition to several hundred
tons of hay The seed finds a ready
market at twenty-five cents per pound
and the hay at $12 per ton stacked,
and the yield of hay under irrigation
being about five tons per acre at three
cuttings makes the raising of this
fodder crop a very valuable PROPOSE
tion.

UNION PACIFIC
IS IN THE LEAD
American Market Followed the
Trend of Prices in Lon
don Market

New York, Aug. 23-Detailed re-
cital of today's operations on the
stock exchange would hardly throw
much light on the general financial
situation and even less on the recent
severe declines In securities. The
market opened with number of SUBJ
stantial recessions in which Union
Pacific took it's now familiar place
as leader. In Its early losses the list
simply followed the course of Lon
don where all Americans, particular
ly the Harrimans, were under pres
sure. London's depression and the
resultant break here were general
ly attributed to developments abroad
and advices from Paris and London
indicating that another rupture had
occurred in the Franco-M Moroccan ne
gotiatlons. This found it's reflec3
ton chiefly in France where prepara-
tions for war were said to be in the
making. The German side Of the sit
uation did not project itself with espe-
cial prominence and local bankers
with influential foreign connections
were not inclined to take the news
very seriously. Further details con-
corning the proposed retrenchment
on the Hartman railroads were forth
coming all tending to show that this
important system purposes carrying
out its avowed policy with little de-
lay. The labor situation on the Illi-
nois Central which owes allegiance
to the Hartman lines, also was re-
ported to have become acute.
After the markets first slump. in
which many stocks sold under yester-
day, the list crawled slowly upward
on very moderate volume of bust
ness, Union Pacific leading the adj
vance as it had the decline. BY mid
day prices were substantially over
the preceding day, but again fell
away with trading at a standstill.
Weakness in Canadian Pacific,
which had its origin in Berlin and
was followed by loss Of almost I've
points here. precipitated an ihcip-
lent selling movement in the later
session which threatened to make
further inroads upon the entire list.
The earnest support accorded Union
Pacilc, however, resulted in rally
but prices were not fully restored and
the market took on It's accustomed
languor. Baltimore e ONO was dis
tinctly weak, selling of to par, loss
of two points, Notwithstanding q
fairly good statement of earnings for
July.
There was more animation In the
last hour and the list denoted a con-
siderable degree of underlying
strength with free absorption Of steel
and Union Pacific, the former mount
ing to its best price Of the day. Dull
ness once more ensued, however and
prices shaded as they have invariably
done recently on any increase OF ac-
tivity, but net gains were general in
the active group at the close.
The day VISA replete with crop
news which ranged from good to in
different. n estimate of the North Da-
kota wheat crop places the probable
harvest at S0.000,O0O bushels against
36,000,000 last year. Dispatches
from Oregon, Montana, Idaho and
Washington point to enormous yields
in those states.
