Duluth Cash Close.
Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, July 13.-Wheat: Opening
prives were steady to a shade higher,
the strength, however, being short
lived and general tenor of the market
being easier owing to generally favor
able reports from the northwest and
weaker spring wheat markets. The
market today shows a lack of new
buying power and also indicates that
local short sellers have covered free
~ on the upturn Of 3 cents per
bushel which has taken place. The
market is still very nervous, and the
tendency generally is to anticipate the
receipt Of news of a bullish character.
It win take news of that kind to bring
about any sustained advance and to
Offset a very natural increase in re-
eeipts.
Corn: Opening prices showed an
advance as compared with those of
last night, the near futures showing
the greatest strength. The market
eased with wheat and on generally a
favorable weather conditions the high
temperatures reported west of the
river following the rain in sections
where the same was most needed and,
therefore, in our opinion such condi-
tons were most favorable to the
growing crop. While the cash position
remains strong enough, we are in
clined to think that the market is
high enough for the time being, an6
believe that some recession is in or
der.
oats: The market failed to hold
yesterdays late rally, weather condi-
tions and all reports regarding the
growing crop being most favorable
Cutting will be general of a great por,
ton of the belt next week. Further
strength was evidenced in the Jul!

INDIANS ADOPT
BETTER FARMING
FORT TOTEM RESERVATION
REDMEN SHOWING SKILL
AS SOIL TlLLERS.

Fort Totten, N. D., July 13.-The
Indians are adopting better farming
methods in filling their land on the
Fort Totten Indian reservation, ar
cording to Ignatius Court, a leader OF
the tribe of Reds, numbering $50, that
remain on the reservation. There are
about 200 Indian farmers, aud they,
with their children, possess about
10000 acres of land, much of which,
of course, is not under cultivation.
THE Indians on my reservation"
said Mr.. Court, 'have become very
thrifty, and they are not slow to real
lie the fact that to make their farms
pay right, they must farm them in the
right way. You would be surprised if
you could see Just how they do their
work; their farming compares well
with that of the white farmers in the
district.
"Our Indians are becoming entirely
independent very rapidly. Many Of
them have comfortable bank accounts,
and they are showing every sign of
thrift The young people on the reser-
walton are showing much interest in
the schools, and they are making much
progress"
Population Is Growing.
The population of Fort Totten is
growing at the present time, accord
ing to Mr.. Court. Under their present
ways of living, their better ~acquain-
tance with the whites, nj the more
settled method of handling their own
affairs, Mr.. Court believes there will
be a steady natural increase in the
population, and that there is nc dam
ger of the eradication of the tribe.
Fort Totten Indians have only about
three more years to wait before they
will be granted full patents to their
land. They are now being held under
trust patents, issued under the treaty
of 1890, which treaty made provision
that trust patents, should be issued
covering a period Of twenty-five years,
at the expiration of which period full
patents should be granted, If the IN
dams showed that they were capable
of caring for themselves. Mr.. Court
believes that the Fort Totem Indians
have shown their ability along that
line, and Is confident that the patents
will be issued In three years, without
further delay.

No EVIDENCE of Theft.

A girl about 10 years of age and
three young men were before Justice
Wade last evening, for a preliminary
a sum of money, about $50, which an
employe in one of the local livery
stables complains was taken out of
his pocket Thursday night while he
was sleeping. The girl and young men
were about the stable late at night, or
early yesterday morning, n they
were picked up later and detained for
closely questioned on all of the cir
cumstances, but nothing could be
elected in the way of evidence TO es-
tablish a case and the matter was dis
missed. From information in the hands
of the police the girl was fined for dis
orderly conduct and she is in the
county jail awaiting the arrival OF
friends who will take her out of town,
The young men are under surveillance
and they may be required to appear
before the justice in a day or two.
