London, Aug. 18.--At noon the
strike ordered last night by the Anal
ganated Society of Railway Servants
and allied organizations OF employees
had been only partial success. Some
Of the railway lines were operating a
very few trains while on other roads
the service continued practically nor
NAL.
The militia held possession OF sta
tions along the lines, not for the pur-
pose at present Of interfering with
the strike. except to protect the men
desiring to work and guard the prop
erty OF the companies.
The OFFICIALS Of the union and rail-
road managers were In session at
Unity hall considering the govern
ment's suggestion for the appoint
ment Of a royal commission which
should investigate and report what
amendments Ii any should be made to
the Cancellation agreement now ex
listing between the owners and en-
ployers.
When the suggestion of d royal COM
mission was made by Premier Asquith
yesterday, 1t was accepted by the man
ayers but rejected by the men who
seemed to feel that such an arrange
ment would mean a long delay in the
adjustment Of their grievances.
The chancellor explained that the
men had misunderstood the premier's
proposal. 1t was. he said, to give them
fair play and mot to lure out of their
hands the great weapon be striking"
The plan was to appoint a committee
Of three. one from the strikers and
one from the managers; the third man
to be well known for his importantly.

Horrible Fall Taken by Aviator
But He Will Survive
PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY
roo HIGH A FLIGHT IN THE
REALM OF HIGH LIVING, BRINGS
THE WELL KNOWN NORTH DA-
KoTA 5IRDMAN TO THE BANK.
RUPTcY COURT. Y

Another aviator mas raj Robert c.
ST. Henry, better known d = the state
as Lucky Bob. flew TOO In the
sphere Of high living and 2 bank
rupt.
In the u. s. court toda " the
district of North Dakota the t adj
Indicated him bankrupt and case
was turned over to the refe in
bankruptcy, Emerson III. Smith AR
go. He voluntarily filed petil4on OF
bankrupt.
St Henry gives his home at Car
rington, N. D., where he owes some
OF the money. There are about half
dozen creditors in his home town,
chief Of which is one of the banks
there.
The assets of the aviator are placed
on the paper with big zero and he
has not a cent to assist in paying his
debts. He has placed his liabilities at
sS,917.
The flying man owes no one In Far
90 although he spent two weeks here
ut various times. Although owing
several hotels over the country the
Waldorf management is not named as
q creditor, although he stopped at the
well known hosiery.
Among the principal creditors are
the Electric Manufacturing Co, of st.
Paul and the Hollis Electric Co, of
Minneapolis. He owes the Nicollet
hotel at Minneapolis the sum of 800
for board and room. At the Palace
hotel at Fresno, Cal, he owes a bill
amounting to $500.
St Henry has appeared in Fargo
twice this summer and thrilled the
throngs by his daring flights over the
city and country. During the u. C. t.
convention in June he was one Of the
special attractions and gave three
lights. During the Interstate fair in
Fargo last month, he was the stellar
performer and gave half a dozen
flights, one of which was made to Har-
wood, following the river down stream
and coming back over the railway
During his stay here st. Henry made
many friends. He was a very genial
type OF man and those who knew him
always spoke most highly Of him as a
friend and acquaintance.
During the summer the defunct bird
man has been flying at different cities
over the state of North Dakota His
last performances has been at Minot
where he attracted great deal OF at
tention.

ALTHOUGH ALL BRITISH RAIL
ROAD MEN WERE CALLED OUT,
MANY OF THE ROADS ARE RUN
MING WITH NORMAL FORCE TO-
DAY-soME HAVE TROUBLE.
ENGLISH TOWNS
ARE ARMED CAMPS.

London, Aug. 1s.-The fight be-
tween the railroad companies and
the striking union employees is on
in dead earnest today. Thousands
have obeyed the strike order, other
thousands have continued to work.
The companies are operating their
principal trains under modified
schedules.
The government and the board
Of trade are continuing their ef-
forts toward peace but the old
deadlock between the unions and
the managers appears to have re-
asserted itself today. The mana
gers had a prolonged meeting with
the members of the board of trade
but as far as could be learned the
railroad companies declined to
bulge from their stand Of making
no further concessions beyond sub
hitting the dispute to a royal COM
mission suggested by the govern
ment.
The chief cities Of England are
armed camps, stations, workshops,
signal posts, tunnels and bridges
are guarded by soldiers. Clerks
have been pressed into service to
aid strikers In moving trains.
Despite the efforts OF the COM
panies freight is demoralized and
a shortage Of food supplies threat
ems famine at some points. The
government views the industrial
war as so grave that parliament
did not adjourn as had been ex-
pected today. but viii continue
prepared to adopt any emergency
legislation the moment it is neces-
sary.

PEARL HUNTERS
SWARM ON RIVER

La Crosse, Wis, Aug. 1S.-That most
of the fish law violators living along
the upper Mississippi river in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin have abandoned
their regular vocations Of pulling
seines illegally in order to look for
fortunes in the claiming and pearl
hunting business, is the explanation
of the decline in commercial fishing
this year, given by Deputy Game War
den S. P. Richtman of Fountain City.
Mr.. Richtman maintains that never
before have there been so many clam
mers on Lake Pepin, and that never
has the business been SO profitable
as this year. Many of the biggest
licensed commercial fishermen along
the upper river have abandoned their
seines and are joining the outlaws
and others in the claiming industry
With shells bringing SIS ton, good
clammer being able with modern de-
vices to gather ton a day, and the
enticing prospect of picking up a shell
containing valuable pearl, the bust
ness offers allurements which few
fishermen are able to resist.
The fishing business has been un-

fact that millions of fish, unable to
leave the sloughs and bayous and get
into the main river on account Of low
water, smothered to death beneath the
ice. Despite the of year, Deputy
Richtman declares that the main river
is fairly alive with bass minnows and
that next year will witness a revival
of game fishing on the upper river
which will offer the best sport for
many years.
State Game Warden John A. Sholts,
in La Crosse to investigate conditions
in the Mississippi river, announced
his intention Of taking steps to try
out his scheme, proposed to the legis-
lature, OF having the state engage in
the SEEMING business for rough fish,
where requests are made to his depart
ment for the clearing out of lakes
or sloughs.

SECOND LOTTERY
Due in OCTOBER
COMMISSIONER KuLL TELLS or
ADVERTISEMENT METHODS FOR
s. .. LAND OPENING.

Gregory, s. D., Aug. 1S.--A. z. Kull
has returned from vacation trip to
the Pacific coast, and was in Gregory
today inspecting the United States
landoffice, which he, In conjunction
with other members OF the special
commission which inspected and ap-
praised the lands Of Mellette county
will occupy with free information
bureau for the benefit Of homestead
ers during the Mellette and Bennett
county registration, Oct. Q to 81.
1.-THE only difficulty we encountered
in making the appraisement" said
Mr.. Kull. was In drawing the line
between agricultural and grazing land.
In Mellette county the soil is all good.
The difference in the land rests solely
on the fact that some of 1t is per-
fectly level, some is gently undulating,
some Is decidedly rough, and some OF
1t fairly stands on edge. To tell ex-
actiy where the farming land quits
and the grazing land begins was
practically impossible.
"Of course the perfectly level quar-
ters, every foot OF which is gilt edge
plow land. was appraised at $6 an
acre. This classification also includes
the land that Is not quite level, but
so near 1t as to be absolutely good,
at SIS and acre. Then the AZ CLASH
fication embraces lands appraised at
So to $3.50 an acre. The $3.50 land
Is good and there Is a lot of it, Most
of these quarters will be found to
contain just about the amount OF
rough land that the average farmer
viii want for small pasture, while
the remainder is topnotch pillow land.
The So land contains d little more
rough land on each quarter than the
higher priced quarters. When we
found a doubtful quarter we simply
sized 1T up carefully, and IL it was
more than half plow land 1t was cIassi-
fed as AZ, while II 1t was more than
half rough we classified 1t as @, or
grazing land. Thus Ii win be seen
that great deal Of good agricultural
land wilI be found In the grazing land
classification at rs cents To So an
acre. and many fine farms will be se-
cured from this classification
