OVER STATE
ARE LOOKING
FINE
that Grain as it now
Stands Will Yield a
Bountiful Harvest.

North Dakota has a promise OF one
of the best crops in history. Old
timers who have. carefully watched
conditions for two score of years say
that everything at the present time
indicates a yield almost equal to the
bumper crop Of 1882. Conditions over
the state as a whole could hardly he
improved. The danger from drought
and other ordinary causes is practical
ly past. and 1t can be assumed that
the crop as it stands today is safe.
Damage, however, may result in
places from hail n other local
causes, but it is not thought any gen
eral or material loss will now result,
Reports have been received from
various places throughout the state.
and from. South Dakota and Minne-
sofa of the appearance of black rust.
This has been carefully investigated
and "A close watch is being kept for
its appearance but so far the little
p~arasity which causes this damage has
not appeared In any alarming degree
at any point.
Barley cutting commenced this week
and from now on farmers will be busy
from daylight to dark. The barley
heads are we'll filled and the yield will
be excellent.
The labor proposition is one which
is already causing anxiety. Harvest
hands are scarce in this vicinity. and
as the crop Is coming on fast there
present time with comparative small
demand wages are $3.50 a day. In the
rush Of the season it is thought that
even higher wages will be asked and
given.
Yield t. be Good.
AS yet 1T is impossible to make an
accurate estimate of the yield of the

to run from twelve to eighteen bush
els. and in many cases it is expected
to go al high as twenty-five to the
acre. ..
The corn crop is coming. along fine.
While there Vas some damage earlier
in the season from cut worms, the
crop as a whole in this county will
be good.
Fodder of all kinds is making a
this season and there is no doubt ex-
pressed as to the supply being plenti-
full.
The weather the past week has been
exceptionally cool for This time of
year. Saturday there was a decided
fall in the temperature, and 1t was
cool for three days. Sunday. night
fears We're expressed of frost. and
while there vas a very slight frost no
from the northern Fart of the state
say that there was a frost in Botti-
neau county with slight damage. and
that the Canadian northwest had ratll-
err a severe frost.

A small worm has made its appear
ance in some of the wheat fields
which at first threatened to do con-
siderable damage. It is now consid-
cred hat this will amour to Very lit

Balkan situation is well stated in the
following dispatch to the Chronicle
from its Vienna correspondent:
In their attitude toward the allied
Balkan states the great powers are
taking a firm line. The powers are
unanimous on the point that the Bal
kan states shall not be deprived of the
fruits of their sacrifices and their vic
tories, but they are equally firm in
their view that unreasonable and eX-
cessive demand shall not be enter
tanned, particularly where such de-
mands would injure the established d
selves. There are sufficient means of
checking and limiting the ambitions
of the Balkan states without even con-
sidering the question of armed inter-
vention. The first and probably the
only necessary course to be adopted
would be in the nature of financial
boycott, the powers preventing the is
sue of any loan or advance to the
Balkan states, whose resources and
war stores will soon be exhausted.
Il understand that the Bulgarian
army, following up its great successes,
will advance on Constantinople. The
allies will not accept an armistice, but
will enter into negotiations with Tur-
key direct. They will not accept medi ..
alton of the powers"

FORGED PETITIONS

the discovery that several names had
been forged to the race track petition,
in Sacramento, Secretary of State
Frank Jordan expressed the view that
no discovery of forgeries or other
fraut, unless such fraud were
proved to involve enough signatures 10
reduce the total of genuine signatures
to less than $1,000 could make the Pc
tition void. He said, however, that he
relied upon whatever advice Attorney
General Webb should offer in the
premises.
THE bill has been printed and will
be voted upon, in spite of anything
that may be DONE" he said. "Of
course, it is impossible, in a few days
time, to learn how many fraudulent
signatures have been attached, but my
personal opinion is that there has
been no fraud outside the county of
