Ernnfnr Grain Letter.

Chicago, July Wheat: Opening
prices showed a general decline, owing
to, scattered precipitation in the spring
wheat country. From the tenor of a
advfces today, we can only conclude
that the crop Is a very spotted one
notwithstanding favorable conditions
in. certain sections, reports generally
indicate considerable alarm regarding
wheat sown IN spring blowing. To-
days decline in prices was a reflection
of weather conditions in the north
west, but we consider the uncertainty
regarding the outcome of that crop
still too great too warrant any ag-
x~ressiveness in the way of short SELL
ing particularly in view of the fact
that the shortness in the winter wheat
crop is In already established fact.
.Corn-Continue favorable weather
over Sunday, coupled with a decidedly
easier tone in the southwestern mar
kets and the weakness in wheat
caused a decline of about i to Ia cents
per bushel, the deferred futures show
ing less relative weakness. Present
crop conditions are rather against an
advance in prices, for the time being,
a local professional sentiment is ex-
trernely bearish.
Oats-The market shared in the gen.
eraI weakness with other grains, ow-
ing to favorable conditions surround
ing the growing crop. The improved
crop prospects were the controlling
factor, the buying power being of small
proportions. Chas. T.. Lewis & CO.

DIR. Louis Nelson returned to town
this morning after a week end spent
with friends at Lake Park. He says
that nearly 1000 people attended the
summer festival, last Saturday, at the
Lutheran church, Eksgo, Becker coun-
ty. The principal address was made
by Governor Eberhart who used for his
theme, The Development of Agricul-
ture and with all the force of words
at his command he devoted a very con-
siderable part of his address to the
young people whom he urged ito stay

could speak the governor told the
young men and women why, the farm

to provide them with the means of
doing nor sight seeing and living
more comfortably than what was at
the disposal of the average business
man. Excellent music was provided
by the Lake Park band, refreshments
were served in abundance and every
body present had a good time. After
supper at the beautiful home Of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Fl. Garfield, the gov
ernor was driven to Twin Valley in an
automobile by John Nelson and DR..
Louis Nelson, the trip affording Gov
n Eberhart a splendid view of the
country and crops, a sight he had long

NATIONAL FOREST
CHANGES MADE

Washington, July President Taft
has just made considerable changes in
national forests in Montana, Arizona,
Nevada, Utah and California through
presidential proclamations modifying
boundary lines. BY these changes
nearly 275,000 acres of land r elm
mated from the forests, about $1,000
acres are added, and about 5000 acres
transferred between two forests, while
a new forest is created by h division
of an old unit into two.
The net result is to bring down the
total gross area of the national for
ests to about 1870 o (, 900 acres, of
which nearly 27,000,0 900 acres are in
Alaska. To a considerable extent,
however, the reductions, so far as land
actually owned by the government is
concerned, are apparent rather than
real, owing to heavy alterations in
the tracts eliminated. Some 22,000,000
acres of the national forest gross area
are not owned by the government.
The high water mark of the national
forest gross area was reached in 1909,
when the forest boundaries included
over 100000 900 acres. 1t was then
realized, however, that in making the
examinations on which the presiden-
tial p~roclamations creating the forests
were based the work had been too

boundaries. Sometimes land which
should have been included was left
out while at other times land was
taken in that was not suited for forest
purposes.
Consequently a complete overhauling
and rectihcation of the forest bounda-
ries was planned, and has been going
on ever since. BY successive procla-
nations President Taft has eliminated
nearly 10000 900 acres, while he had
added about 100000 acres.
In Montana the new proclamations
eliminate a total Of 1880 acres from
six forests-the Custer, Absaroka,
Blackfeet, Kootenai, Lewis and Clark
and F1athead-while 1850 acres are
transferred from the Blackfeet to the
Kootenai and 40,640 from the Kootenat
to the Blackfeet, to facilitate admin
istration. In Arizona LOG, $40 acres are
eliminated from the Corondac nationa,
forest. In Nevada 49,S40 are eliminated
from the Humboldt and $3.50 acres
added. of which 1880 acres are in
cluded in the new Ruby national forest
composed principally of that part OF
the old Humboldt lying south of the
| Southern Pacific railroad. In Utah
1910 acres are eliminated from tht
Sewer, while in California $3.50 acres
are added to the Shasta and $50 acres
to the klamath.

Permanent Organization Foruaed in
Connection With Swedish Church.


Connection With Swedish Church.
The first annual meeting of the con-
ffrmants of the Swedish Lutheran
church was held at the church last
week. The class first confirmed in the
local church. was in 1882 and there
have been classes each year since
and all except the first years were
represented at the reunion.
The outcome of the meeting which
was goodly attended and in which a
splendid spirit was manifested was
the organization of a Confirmation
league. the president Of which is G. E.
Freeberg and the secretary is Miss
Olga Stake.
A feature Of the gathering was an
inspiring address given by Rev. Carl
Solomonson of Minneapolis, field Sec
rotary of the missions in India. Very
Interestingly the speaker reviewed for
his hearers what was done during the
period of the Reformation, dwelling
particularly on the work of Martin
Luther. Incidentally he compared con-
ditions in the orient with thosee of the
United States from the viewpoint of a
Lutheran. Following the formalities a
social hour was spent, the programme
for which wa sgreatly enjoyed.
