probate Judge was not in his Of
fee nor anyone authorized to is
sue a license. They had to come
to Cherokee county for licenses,
and marriage ceremonies have to
be performed in the county in
which the license is issued. This
required a shift in the scene OF
the double nuptials from Douthit
home in Oklahoma to the Devore
home in Cherokee county. AS
soon as Rev: Hamilton had pro-
nounced the words which caused
four hearts to beat as two the
wedding party drove to the
Douthit home where an elabor-
ate wedding supper was served.

will see a return to an output
ting capacity of $500 tons. How
ever, there is practically not a
single ton of surplus zinc ore in
the field.
Calamine ores were firm along
with blend and brought base
prices of $50 to $34. Shipments
were fairly good considering the
output.
Lead ores were slightly lower,
bringing $50 to $54. The dis
trict is practically clean of this
ore save for a few bins here and
there.

All records in both base price
and settlements were broken for
zinc blende ores last week when
$50 was paid for zinc blende and
a settlement of $60.s0 was made
for the ore of the Big Western
at Thoms Station. The sales for
the most part were made at SIS
to $5S.5O. Some of the buyers
who were eager to depress prices
and hold down the market held
their offers to $50 to $50. But
their efforts were like trying to
stop the present Mississippi
foods with ten-cent packages of
cough drops.
In spite of the high prices, the
shipments was comparatively
light, due principally to the low
production caused by the heavy
floods of the previous week. An
other heavy rain on Friday and
Saturday interfered with both
production and hauling. 1t is
believed that another ten days

Judge Mckenzie, who has always

CONDITION Of
SOIL MOISTURE
North Dakota Is IN Shape 10
Raise Bumper Crop

The following was written by Supt.
w. r. Porter for the extension de.
partment OF the Agricultural College,:
During the month of May the past
seven seasons moisture determine
tons have been made on the differ.
ent demonstration farms scattered
throughout the state. Soil samples
have been taken to a depth OF three
feet with a soil tube on every plot on
the entire series of demonstration
farms. These soil samples are put in.
to tight jars and these jars are sent
into the laboratory where the exact
percentage of water in each soil Is
determined and the average for each
farm is worked out from this. Last
October when these moisture determ.
nations were made there was more
water in the soil than there had been
in any year since the entire series OF
demonstration farms started. The av-
erage moisture content of 103 fields
on "a farms in "a different counties
of the state was 22.97 per cent Of
water in the upper three feet of soil
in May 1912. This IS the highest av-
erage moisture content that the soils
on the demonstration farms have ev.
er had since this work commenced in
the spring of 1906.
In the spring Of 1906 there was
11.64 per cent of water in the upper
three feet Of soil. In 1907, 1886 per
cent: in 1908, 2O.90 per cent; in 1910,
1857 per cent; in 1911, 1859 per cent;
and this spring 22.97 per cent or
than Ave per cent lore water in the
soil than there was in the spring OF
1911 and over six per cent more than
there was in the spring of 1910.
There was over two<per cent o
water in the soil than in the spring
of 1908. The only other spring that
had real wet soil since the demon
stration farms were started.
In the upper three feet of soil on
the average there Is approximately
$50 tons more water per acre than
there was in 1910 and approximately
312 tons more water than there was

TROUBLE AT POLLS
IN SASKATCHEWAN
Wholesale Fraud Charged by
Both Sides In Red OF
Election.

HEGlNA, SACK, July lS.-POlllng
opened this morning throughout Sas.
k%atchewan and there is i2tense ex.
element at both Liberal and Conserv.
alive headquarters. Innumerable
complaints have come by rural tele-
phone of trouble at the polls and each
side is charging wholesale fraud.
Many arrests have been made. The
government supporters claim that
Premier Scott will be returned by
more than twenty majority and are
betting on this figure.
The experience Of last winter, when
the grain blockade occurred, and the
fact that a similar, II not a worse,
blockade is imminent, are held to have
increased the feeling for a wider mar
ket. It Is thus difficult to discover
any source of strength for Haultain
among the farmers. At many meet
ings during the past three weeks, ev-
en- in the cities, there has been an
outburst Of enthusiasm whenever re-
ciprocity was mentioned.
1t Is claimed that apart from FEEDER
al workers many representatives Of
Eastern manufacturing and financial
interests are in the province working
for Haultain. In the fiftytwo seats,
there are straight Conservative can
didates in %fifty-one. In five seats
there is a three-cornered fight. In
Vonda there is a straight Liberal and
two Independents. IN Ll0ydminster
there is a grain-growers' candidate
as well as a Liberal and Conservative.
Arm River has two Liberal candi-
dates and a Conservative. Sanora
has the straight party candidates and
a Galician running as an independent,
At Moose Jaw there is a Socialist in
the field.

USED MAILS IMPROPERLY.
District Attorney May Resign To De.
fend Accused Man.

GRAND FORKS, July 13.-Fred
Wells, formerly of thu city. now OF
Minneapolis, has been arrested at Mis-
soula, Mont, on a charge of using the
United States mails to defraud. 1t
has been impossible so far to ascer-
tain just what the specific charge
against him is. He was in Montana
at the time of his arrest looking over
lands for an eastern syndicate.
An interesting feature in connec-
ton with his arrest is the possible ef-
feet it may have on the office of a
former North Dakota attorney. s. J..
Cowley, formerly of Larimore, now Of
Great Falls, Mont, has been tenta-
lively employed by Wells to defend
him. But as Cowley is deputy dist
riot attorney in the Great Falls dist
riot, it will be necessary for him to re-
sign his Office in order to defend
Wells.
Cowley announces thel ne will re-
sign if Wells is held to the grand jury
BY the commissioner.
