In Daniel Boone" the Peoples to-

fashion the life story of this famous
explorer and pioneer Of the Allegheny
Mountains. The film takes the start in
his early days when he migrated with
a few companions from his native
state, Virginia. to the then wilder
ness OF Kentucky. Captured BY In
dians at Red River. he escapes and
later builds the fort which bears his
name and POUNDS the town of Boons-
borough. The famous battle of Boons-
borough is graphically and excitingly
pictured, calling for the enlistment of

story continues up to his death. giving
clear conception of what II meant to
settle the dangerous and wild coun-
try, and showing how much we owe
to the intrepid hunter and explorer. 1t
is photo reproduction worthy of the
highest praise and one which should
have a real value as an educational
picture for the young.

M1NOT, Aug. ga hundred and ten
million bushels Of wheat, eighty mil
lions Of oats and about $4,000, 900 OF
max are: the estimates of Thomas
Cooper, secretary OF the North Dako-
ia Better Farming associati ion, who
was in this city Tuesday tconferring
with Superintendent w. IA. Peck Of the
Minot district. III !. II
The government estimates North
5Dakota's wheat yield at 81. .O00, 900.
Prof. Shepard Of the state agricultur-
al college says that this estimate will
be realized, but Mr.. Cooper is inclined
to take q more onservative view Of
the situation, Even at Il q, ,o0O, 900 bu.
shells. the 1912 yield will show q gain
Of about 40 o,OO0, 900 over 1911, and a
gain OF about %, 900, 900 over the re.
cord crop in the past. /
"This has been 8 good year to show
the difference between good and poor
farming. z said MI. Cooper. There are
hundreds Of places where two fields
side BY side show remarkable differ
ence in condition. II Wherever the land
was farmed we'll, the crop iss good.
''This viii be a big oat year. ]
would not be surprised If North Da

Fifty million bushels Of grain is a
conservative estimate Of the amount
of grain that will be shipped out OF
the northwest portion Of this state
over the Great Northern and 500 rail-
ways this fall. So uniformly good
are the crops that the railroad offic-
ials are making every effort to take
care Of the shipments with all pos
:sible dispatch. There is some fear
of car shortage. for this is the larg-
est crop that North Dakota railway
officials have ever had to handle, and
it is going to tax the railroads to the
limit. ss5s:3: ;.S 4 81 .5:. .s.s&
that the shipment Of grain this year
from the territory between Devils
Lake and Williston viii amount to
27,000,000 bushels. The 500 railroad
expects to handle close to that amount,
SO that the total shipments from this
territory viii amount to to about So,
100000 bushels. u! II. % Il
Active preparations are being made
to take care Of the big crop. Cars are
being sent into the district as rapidly
ais possible and every bit of available
rolling stock is being put into condi
ton for service this fall and winter
Coal shipments into this state are
quite heavy at this time, but the rail
road officials still believe there il
room for Improvement, and are hope
ful that greater shipments will be
made as early as possible.
One Of the greatest factors in solv
| ing the car shortage is the rapid I'M
loading Of the cars. after they have
been spotted. Railroad officials con
tend that if the conseignees Of cars
would unload them as rapidly as pos
sible after they have been set, that
much would be done towards main
tanning the: supply Of cars.
