Where the Danger Lies.

Mr.. Anthony Collins, who is home
from an extended western tour, says
that from Vancouver to Winnipeg he
did not meet Canadian who favored
reciprocity with the United States,
and his prediction is that, when the
Canadians come to vote they will re.
ject the pact.
The feeling there is that Canada
has nothing to gain in Q commercial
way, while closer connection with the
United States means ultimate absorb
ton of the dominion, and this they are
bitterly hostile to.
When our people here ut home can
come to understand that Canada is not
waiting ut the line with bankrupt lot
of farm products waiting for chance
to sell them, but is actually paying
more for products in most cases than
Americans are, they will get over their
scare about Canada, and will come to
see how foolish they have been in CIV
ing the lie to their own professions of
desire for more liberal tariff policy.
Iowans, who are largely interested
in Canada, and who are keeping in
touch with Canadian sentiment, con-
firm to The Evening Tribune the re-
port MIR. Collins makes.
There is much more danger that reci-
procity will be beaten in Canada than
that our own congress would refuse to
endorse it.-Des Nome Tribune.

To the Good People Of cresco and

You are all familiar with me and my
methods of business, having been here
81 years, and 30 years in the Piano and

Weather Crop Bulletin

for the week ending July %. 1911.
The average Temperature for the
week was below normal for the first
time since the first week in May; the
average daily deficiency for the past
week being about degrees. A few,
generally light and scattered showers.
occurred on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday, but over the larger part of the
state the rainfall was practically nil
until Saturday night or Sunday morn
ing when fairly copious and we'll dis
tributed showers occurred. Cool
nights, practically cloudy weather and
absence of hot winds have enabled corn
to hold its own remarkably we'll con-
sidering:the small amountof moisture in
soil. Over the southern and parts Of
the central and northern districts corn
has suffered some damage, but the
crop as a whole is doing as well, if not
better than could be expected under
the circumstances, and with favorable
weather in the future will make fair
yield: The small grain harvest is
practically completed and threshing is
progressing rapidly under favorable
weather conditions. Reports show wide
range in the yield of grain. Oats
range from 10 to SO bushels per acre;
winter wheat 8 to 30; spring wheat 8
to Is; barley 10 to Is and timothy seed
from 2 to 4 bushels. The drouth has
seriously affected fruit. Apples. grapes
and plums are small and apples are
falling badly. The worst effect of the
drouth, however, is on pastures and
the water supply. Pastures are bare
and much stock is being fed green corn
or hay, and stock water is getting
scarce. GEO. M. CHAPEL.

ROBBERS ARE Still At large
POSSES STILL SEARCHING SOUTH
DAKOTA.
Three Held at MeIrose Nay Have
Been Impileated-Many Detec-
tlves on Scent

Fargo, N. D., July 22.-Attracted by
large offers of reward for the capture
of the bandits who held up the North
ern Pacific train there is an influx of
private and other detectives from all
over the Northwest. The Northern
Pacific also has some Of its best men
here.
Ohicials Of the Northern Pacific an
nounced that the reward for the cap
ture and conviction of the men who
held up the North Coast Limited,
Wednesday night, near Buffalo, N. D..
had been increased from $1,000 to
$4,000 each. w. J. McFetridge. chief
special agent of the company, who has
been on the Pacific coast for week,
Is expected to reach the scene of the
robbery within . day or two.
The sleuths are divided in their
opinion as to whether the men were
railroad men or not. One side con-
tends they we're not or they would
have stopped the train with the air
instead Of climbing over the engine.
On the other hand 1t is shown that
Engineer Olson ignored an attempt to
stop the train by air, necessitating
other action. The detectives are also
divided as to whether the bandits are
old-timers or new men at the
game and the latter opinion predomin-
ates.
Posses are still searching the coun-
try, but the difficulty in rounding up
the men increases. and it looks ex.
tremely doubtful If they will be cap
tured. Several men are under arrest.
but SO far there is nothing definite
against any of them.
