TAFT TO VISIT NORTH
DAKOTA ON BIG Speech
MAKING TRIP To west

According to plans so far drawn up
at the white house, the president will
visit most of the states in the middle
west, north of and including Missouri,
and will make incursions into practi-
cally all states which have progressive
congressional delegations. The presi-
dent so far has given almost no con-
sideration to speechmaking on his
trip, but it has long been the idea of
Republican leaders that he would
make as many political addresses as
possible west of the Mississippi.

GREAT NORTHERN
tries OIL BURNERS
Experiment If Successful will
Eliminate Forest Fires From
Engine Sparks

Minneapolis Journal: While loco
motive No. 1881. on the run from
Leavenworth to Seattle, Wash, on the
Great Northern road is making its
first experimental trips with crude
California oil as fuel, the Offices Of
President louis w. Hill and General
Manager J. NJ. Gruber are awaiting
With interest the reports of results
obtained. No. 1881 is only the first
of 115 locomotives that will be chang
ed from coal burners to oil burners
Locomotive 1881 has already made one
trip but will have to make four OF
five before data that will show results
.conclusiveyl can be obtained.
President Hill announced three
months ago that in connection with
the work of forest preservation by
the federal government and with the
idea of lending all assistance possible
the change to oil burners would be
made. The plan contemplates a big
storage pl atnat
storage plant at Everett on tide-water
where ships carrying crude petroleum
from the California oil fields may come
up direct for unloading. This plant
is not yet completed
Mr.. Gruber said today that the ex'
pertinent with locomotive 1881 is not
conclusive for the reason that a. $4,000
gallon tank is attached. This big tank
is factor against most effective
fSperatoin. When the storage plant
at Everett and Minor supply stations
have been erected it will not be neces-
sary to carry so much. weight in fuel
supply.
Notwithstanding the weight of the
tank the initial run from Leavenworth
u Seattle was made on the same
time as when operating under coal.
The experiment is one of the most
interesting now going on anywhere IN
the United States. The railways have
contended, following recent disastrous
forest fires, that they have not been
responsible, while government forestry
experts have figured in the locomotive
shark as an imprtant factor In caus-
ing fires. When the fuel supply sta

STORY Was
A FAKE
Brakeman was Not Robbed
-.-had Lost Money
at Poker
Coin Lost at Gambling Be.
Ionged to Fellow
Employees

Mandan Pioneer: The story of the
holdup of w. c. Howard, a passenger
brakeman on the Northern Pacific
on Tuesday night a week ago, has
been proven to be fabrication and
concocted for the sole purpose of Gre
ating sympathy for the brakeman with
the possible chance of recovering
money that he lost in poker game.
The story of the hold up had wide
publicity, but there were certain
things about It that did not look good
to Detectives Fahe and Moody, who
are in the employ of the railroad com.
pany.
They started on a still hunt to run
down the facts of the holdup and dis
covered that Howard, instead of hav-
ing his watch stolen had pawned it
at a certain store here in Mandan.
They also found that he had been in
volved in poker game in this city
and lost all his money. 1t seems that
Howard roomed with number of
railroad men at Glendive, the terminal
west of Mandan, and that he was the
treasurer for the fellows. They paid
uIul luclI pIOpOiLIOudLc SudTo VI IAo
expenses and he was supposed to
settle with the people from whom they
rented, etc. The detectives also dis
covered that the money that he lost
in the game was not his own money,
but the money that the boys had given
him to settle their expenses.
When Howard was in Glendive
few days after these facts came out
Detective Fayhe took him to the Office
of Supt. Johnson and after grilling
examination he admitted That he had
made up the story, that he had black
ened his own eye and tore his shirt
color open and done other things to
lead people to believe that he had been
actually held up.
Howard, until detected. was certain
ly trying to make his bluff good, and
a day or two after the holdup ne went
to one of the local hardware stores
and purchased revolver and was
it to several whom he knew,

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. Am
early prediction of the wheat yield of
225,O00,0O0 bushels over the three
states, is now trimmed to 175,0OO, 900.
But this is only an estimate. Only
the threshing can make it more defin-
lite. On the showing of the Red River
valley in the next week or ten days
depends the size of the wheat yield in
the northwest. Wheat is in the milk
stage there and is menaced by black
rust, but indications are that it will
come through WE'LL
1t is estimated that black rust has
reduced the yield third in spots out
of three states. The present weather
conditions are against it's spread.S
North Dakota's expected 100000,
600 bushels will run from 75.OOO,00O
to 1O0,000,000, it is now predicted.
Rains and cool weather recently in the
western part of that state have boost
ed the estimate 25,0O0,000. In the
eastern portion in the Red River bot
tom the yield will be big if conditions
continue favorable.
Cutting is over in South Dakota, the
yield there is estimated at lieele more
than third of a crop.
Minnesota will harvest fppm 50,00O,-
900 to SO,OOO,OOO bushels according to
forecasts. Cutting is over $50 miles
north of Minneapolis. Grain is being
shocked and some shock threshing
is being done. Flax is 60 about TO-
100000 bushels over the three states,
North DAKOTA leading. This approxi-
mates the original estimate.
Though it is early to estimate the
corn crop bumper one is predicted
in the Northwest. The weather is
favorable and it never looked better.
The acreage is greater than ever be-
fore.
Reports from Iowa, Minnesota and
the Dakotas cut the oat crop in half.
Minnesota will have the best corn
crop of any state in the corn belt"

Hacker is professor of dairying at
