Worlds Crops Make
Splendid Showing

Washington. July 49, - official re-
turns Of foreign crops received by the
department Of agriculture and an
nounced today, indicate that generally
favorable conditions existed in June.
Conditions in Canada are. over most
81 the territory pronounced flattering.
On the 10,5o0,O00 acres under wheat
this season more than 9.50O.000 are in
the spring wheat provinces Of sas-
kachewan. Manitoba. and Alberta; the
increment in area amounted to 1,200.-
90 acres. The spring wheat lands

rains and with some exceptions favor

In Europe winter wheat and rye on
the whole have fully maintained their
former promise The wheat crop OF
the United Kingdom, on an increased

an average yield. France, with dimin-
ished areas under both wheat and
rye, promises a medium out turn of
The former and less satisfactory one

ty, Indiana, according to a census bu-
reau announcement today. Since 1900

CONTRACTS LET FOR

JAMESTOWN, N. d., June 9-The
contract for the heating and plumbing
material for the new ward building
at the state hospital was let yester-
day afternoon to the Western Supply
company of St. Paul for $4,000. This
The work will be done by men at the
asylum.
The work of construction will be
started next week. The contract calls
for the building to be enclosed Nov.
Il, 1911, and completed August 1, 1912,
Architect Hancock OF Fargo, states
that the bids show the finest sample
of bidding on a job of this size that
he has ever seen and shows that
North Dakota contractors are in line
to bid on fire proof buildings of any
magnitude. The board Of trustees Is
much gratified that the bids came
mostly under the estimated cost, this
having been a feature also pleasing
to the architect.
The new building will be the larg-
est and OF the best quality of any
erected at the state hospital for the
insane so far. It will be faced with
Hebron pressed brick and trimmed.
All the floors will be of tile and
fitted with the best modern plumb
ing. Every precaution has been taken
to insure the highest sanitary con.
ditions possible. The total cost Of
the building, including plumbing, heat.
ing and electric wiring will be $685..

FOUNDATION FOR CITY
geological GARDENS
ALL KINDS OF WILD ANIMALS TO
BE SEEN At HlNCkLEY'S
LIVERY BARN
Large CAGE Has Been Constructed and
Collection. Of. Denizens Of the Open
Prairies is Ensconced therein.

London has its Zoo at Regents Park
New York Has its Bronx, Chi
cago has bunch of wild animals and
rare at Lincoln Park, and Bismarck
has Hinckley's.
Everything has to start from small
beginning. The Zoos Of the largest
cities of the world are now stocked
with great collections of the rarest
animals in the world. Bismarck has
the small beginning.
The puppies have all been sold by
Hink at SO apiece. The coyotes are
worth $3.50 apiece anyhow-the state
would pay that much for their scalps'
and the assessed valuation Of the
cage is probably IS. Figuratively
speaking, then, if figures count for
|aught, the small beginning is valued
at $47.50.
If a fellow has time to watch the
antics of the puppies as they play
with the coyote pups, however, he
will derive more than $47.50 worth Of
amusement therefrom. Its worth that
much sometimes to get some people
to smile just once. So Hinck's Zoo
lis proving popular, 70 young and old
alike.
There are five coyote pups in the
cage. Theye were secured by F. l..
Shuman. district manager of the N.
D. Independent Telephone Co., on
some of his rambles over the western
part of the state. The three puppies
are full blood cockrel spaniels, which
have been in the public eye for some
weeks past. Hinck's bull pup was not
allowed to join the happy family, but
scouts around the outside and snihs
inquisitively whenever one of the cubs
trots too close to the wire netting.
Said b. p. also wears a melancholy
look as his nose is now f1guratively
as we'll as literally, out Of joint,
since there are so many other attrac'
tons that he who was erstwhile the
principal object of interest around
those hunting grounds is temporarily
relegated to the tall timbers.
Hinck. may add to the small be-
ginning If he can find other ani.mules
that will prove congenial members OF
the happy throng. But even with the
collection already on hand the Zoo
is proving to be a source of great in
terest to all who pass that way.
