The ex-governor will bring to ths

political conditions most extensively.
He knows what it is to cad a forlorn
hope, for he has done 1t more than
one once. He has also had his taste
of victory, twice leading his party to
q triumph in the fight for the govern
orship.
Since his retirement from the chair
of the chief executive of the state
DR.. Garvin has been many times a
candidate for public Office. He was
defeated for reelection to the gov
ernorship by George H. Utter in 1904,
on the day that Theodore Roosevelt
was reelected to the presidency.
Roosevelt's plurality was some 1 $4,000,
and Governor Garyin lost to his re-
publican opponent by less than 1000.
Governor Utter beat him the next
year, however, by a plurality Of several
thousand.
In 1905 he was again in the lists,
running for congress against Adm d.
Capron. He met the fate of other
candidates who have been pitted
against the late leader in the Sec
ond district, and was signally defeat
ed. This, however, was not a new x
p~erience for him, as he had been de-
feated for the same office by Con-
gresham Capron before his election TO
the governorship.
DR.. Garvin will be one of the most
conspicuous New Englanders at the
progressive convention, which is to
be held in Chicago, Aug. 5, when Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be nominated for
the presidency. AS a Rhode Island
delegate he will second the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt, and he is enthusi-
astic over the outlook for the success
of the new party.

Suit AGAINST Northern Pacific.

For Mrs. NJ. N. Hartke of Muskoda,
Attorney Dosland began a suit yes
terday, against the Northern Pacific
for damages alleged to have been caused
the complainant by the importation
of g~landered horses into the state. The
complaint alleges that two horses were
bought at Miles City, Mont, about a
year ago and that the animals were
not subjected to the inspection the
buyer had reason to expect they should
have been submitted to, before leav-
ing one state for another. The horses
were transported to Hawley, in this
county, with other horses. 1t is said
the case will develop some nice points
relative to the inspection of livestock
from one state to another.

Enthusiastic Official.

Fred D. Sherman of the state i'm
migration department returned last
evening very much of an enthusiast
over the future of Clay county after a
day spent under the escort of Leslie
Welter, jr, who took Mr.. Sherman
wherever he wanted to go in search
of material for pictures, etc., which are
wanted by the department for adver-
Using the state. The gentlemen were
accompanied by the official stenogra-
pher of the Great Northern, who had
with him equipment for taking pic
lures eight feet long If desired. Mr.
Sherman says the three factors which
will make Clay county a world-beater
are potatoes, alfalfa and stock. Some
very excellent harvesting views were
taken.

Ryenine Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-wheat: Weakness
and general bearish sentiment appar-
ent all day. Support has been poor
except at decline of INC for September
and about TX to INC for other months.
Much of the buying has been to cover
shorts, the market starting down very
slowly early. Weakness northwest has
been relatively firm. Declines in the
latter section have been less than here.
Export talk was d~iscouraging through
out but 1t transpires that cash con-
Germs are reporting sales of 10000
bushels here. Some OF the exporters
claim that the demand for No. 2 hard
has dropped off and hat intending
buyers are holding off because of the
relatively lower prices for spring
wheat. We still think the market Will
prove a sale on the bulges until news
The rally at the close was on local
shorts covering and the usual buying
against indemnities on a break.
Corn: Corn has declined materially
because Of good rains southwest where
needed Those who bought yesterday
have sold out today. There was more
or less short selling Of deferred months
besides. Charters were for 100000
bushels at l to INC to Buffalo. We
are still friendly to the buying side
OF December.
Oats: oats have been heavy and
lower all day. Corn and wheat weak
yields have been factors. There nave
been increasing sales to arrive but
total primaries are still less than last
year n farmers are disposed to de-
lay threshing and marketing.

the shipments Of iron ore, iron manu-
features, except pig iron, soft coal,

,745 short tons, show an increase of
10 per cent over the shipments In June

ments, 2,836,934 short tons were soft
coal and 491 ,941 short tons hard coal,
the remainder being bunker coal sup
piled to vessels engaged in the do
nestle trade. The shipments of soft
coal showed an increase of 81 per cent,
while those of hard coal showed g de-
crease of over 80 per cent when COM
pared with the June shipments in 1911.
Over 81 per cent of the soft coal was

tons al Lake Huron ports The total
domestic shipments on the great
lakes during the present year (inclu-
ing hard and soft coal and bunker
coal, amounted to 6,765,173 short tons,
a slight decrease when compared with
the corresponding period of 1911.
Grain Shipments.
The domestic shipments of grain on
the great lakes during June, 1912,
$780, 46 bushels, show a decided de-
cline when compared with 15,446,342
bushels shipped in June, 1911, a de-
crease of nearly 40 per cent. OF the
June, 1912, grain shipments, 2,145,786
bushels were wheat, 5,469,304 bushels
corn. l,37S,450 bushels oats, 1890
bushes barley, and 27.092 bushels rye.
Each of these articles except rye,
shows a very material falling off when
compared with the shipments a year
ago. The shipments of flour, 10S,57O
short tons, were greater, while the
shipments of bran and millstuffs, 43,-
391 short tons, were less than In June,
