PROVES GOOD CROP YIELD
Threshing Shows Conditions Better
Than Expected.

JUAN .NPSSeSSs
With the starting of the harvest n
the completion of the threshing on
several farms it is shown that crop
conditions in the state are better than
was expected earlier in the season.
Winter wheat especially is coming
to the front in a manner pleasing to
those who have maintained for years
that it is a good crop in North Dako-
ia. Oats in most places is going bet
ter than vas expected and barley in
almost all instances is a good crop.
In Mclean county, where for a time
1t was feared there would be prac-
ticaly no crop in many places, the
estimate now made is for an average
of eight bushels over the entire coun-
ty. This is in place of an absolute
failure last year.
Rains of the past week have i'm
proved the fax outlook until in many
places there will be a 100 per cent
crop and this is connection with the
fact that there is the same per cent
of increase in acreage yer the Mis-
souri, slope country at least makes
prospects good.
Harvesting is general and a good
deal of threshing Is being done.

When members Of the committee OBJ.
jected to such language Mr.. McCabe
modified the statement to false
hood and he finally was induced to
withdraw it altogether. DR.. Keller is
DR.. Wiley's assistant. Former Repre-
sentative Hepburn of Iowa, attorney
for DR.. Wiley, was reprimanded by
the committee during the discussion
for declaring that the remark was
illustrative of the character of the
Witness"
There was another order. said Mr..
McCabe, prohibiting employees of the
chemistry bureau from giving infor.
nation to district attorneys in cases
affecting the department. He defended
this order, declaring that eve would
have chaos If all u inspectors were
writing to United States attorneys on
our cases and giving their views and
ideas Of how the cases should be
handled"

FRUGAL IN HER TR0ussEAu
Prospective Bride Of Colonel Astor
Sets $1,000 Limit.

New York, Aug. lett became the
opinion of some Fifth avenue modistes
that Miss Madeline Force, the young
fiancee of Colonel John Jacob Astor,
is to be very economical in the ar
rangements for her wedding trous-
seau. It was learned on the avenue
that she and Colonel Aston drove in
a taxicab to five shops, where the
young woman made 1t plain that ST..
900 would be the limit of expenditure
for her wedding finery.
In contrast to the 100000 which a
society girl is said to have spent on
her trousseau recently, including ST.
500 for a single gown, it was said that
Miss Force objected to a $3.50 crea-
ton, which one modiste showed her.
and found one at q shop further on
which pleased her just as we'll for
500.

Dorman had invited about a dozen
business men to witness the flight, but
their efforts to put out the fire were
unavailing. Dirt was thrown on the
blaze and an effort was made to u
the machine into the Mouse river, but
the explosion of gasoline blocked all
efforts to save the machine. The aero
plane was insured for about half its
value.

witnessed the fire. Those assembled

SAYS REDUCTION
WOULD Be LARGE
Postmaster General Favors
Change in Methods.
PAY RAIL CARRIERS LESS

Head Of Postoffice Department Would
Regulate Compensation by Adding
Six Per Cent to Actual Cost Of the
Work--DecIares Government CouIo
Reduce Expenditures Nine Millions
Annually.
Washington. Aug. 16.-Radical. re-
adjustment of the methods of comput-
ing the pay of railways for transport
ing the mails, which will effect an an
nual saving of approximately $9,000,-
900, is recommended to congress by
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
Mr.. Hitchcock proposes to effect
such saving by paying the railroads
on the basis of cost with 6 per cent
profit. The plan provides that all
railways shall report annually to the
postmaster general the expenses in.
cured in carrying the mails in order
that the department may determine
the cost to the railways and a fair
rate of profit.
The method of fixing railway mail
pay in accordance with weight has
proved expensive and unsatisfactory
and it is. proposed to abandon it en-
tirely, says Mr.. Hitchcock. He sug-
gests the substitution of the method
of fixing compensation in accordance
with the amount of space required in
cars for the distribution and carrying
of the mails making proper allowance
for the extent and frequency of the
service performed.
MI. Hitchcock sends to congress
with this report, which was made in
response to an act passed in 1909, a
draft of a new bill, which, If enacted,
would carry the new plan into effect.
He urgently recommends its passage.
The postmaster generals recommen-
dations are based on the investiga-
lions of a committee from his de-
partment.

Plans Now Being Perfected for First

Plans Now Being Perfected for First
state Exposition at Bismarck.
The Northwest is interested in
North Daflota's first industrial expo
sition, which will be held in Bismarck
Sept. 26 to Oct. 16.
North Dakota'B growth, according to
the federal census, was 80.S per cent,
the largest of any agricultural state
In the Union. Her average crop of
wheat is upwards of 100, 900, 900 BUSH
els and for the past few years prac-
tically so per cent of the flax crop of
the United States has come from this
state.
Heretofore Commissioner of Agricul-
ture w. c. Gilbreath has gathered an
extensive display of North Dakota's
products and exhibited it yearly at
various state fairs and expositions.
The rapid development of the state
has made it almost impossible to pro-
cure a comprehensive exhibit that
could be transported from place to
place and Mr.. Gilbreath conceived the
IDEA of a state show that would place
before the people the wondrous re-
sources of North Dakota. His idea
was communicated to the state leg.
islature, with the result that an appro.
priation of the state funds was made
to warrant the launching of a state
exposition.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
exposition may be cleaned from the
fact that the premium list and general
expenses will represent, ar %expendi.
ture of practically $4,000. Every
county in the state will prepare an ex-
hibit and there will be many indie.
pendent exhibits of grain, grasses,
fruits and vegetables by individuals.
There will be exhibits and demon.
stratinos Of every conceivable. kind
of farm machinery and equipment and
an extensive display, of manufactured
articles and products by the manufac'
turers and jobbers of the Northwest
