HARVEST HANDS
WOULD COME HERE
MANY SETTLERS IN DRY REGION
IN MONTANA WOULD COME
AND HELP WITH CROPS

E. H. Howes Of Hampden, N. D.,
who together with his boys and sew
eral neighbors located in western
Montana recently was . caller at the
office this week. Mr.. Howe stated
that their crop there was minus
quantity and that many Of the set
tiers out there were looking for .
place to work during the harvest this
season. He said he had been talking
with bankers and others out there and
they thought it would be . good thing
for the farmers to ship wagons aud
horses down by the car load to this
state. It would cost about $65 . car
to get here. It would be well for our
Better Farming Association or the
Commercial Club to see If farmers
and men with threshing outfits need
ed men and teams and If 80 to write
to the Havre or other banks out that
way telling them how many teams and
men could be used here. In this way
the usual trouble Of . shortage Of
harvest help would be averted.

CUTTING GRAIN
IN THIS COUNTY
FARMERS NOW BUSY WITH HAR-
VEsT-BARLEY CUT--CUTTING
OATS AND SOME WHEAT

Farmers throughout the county are
getting into the harvest work and it
will be in full swing this week. A
lot of barley has been cut and the cut
ting of oats is general now. Consid-
cradle wheat has been cut and by the
first of next week wheat cutting will
be in full swing. The early grain is
damaged but very little by the hot
weather if one is to judge by re-
ports coming in. It looked wilted in
the middle Of the hot days but in the
morning would be looking fine again
and while q few claim considerable
damage others claim very little il any.
The excellent. rain Tuesday evening
was a SAVIOR for the later grain and it
would fill in excellent shape. Condi-
tions as regards crops in this section
are about the best ever and we should
harvest q bumper crop. And with .
bumper crop and grain prices, espec-
tally wheat going up lit jumped seven
cents Tuesday, business in every line
ought to be good in this section Of
the state this fall and winter.

EXCELLENT RAIN
TUESDAY EVENING
RAIN WAS GENERAL IN THIS
sECTION-CLOUD BURST EAST
TRAINS WERE DELAYED

This section of the state was visit
ed by an excellent rain Tuesday even
ing and while in some sections, espec-
tally east Of here, it amounted to Al
most cloud burst and did consider
able damage, yet on the whole it was
of great benefit to the crops and e.
pecially the late grain. Sixty five
hundreths Of an inch fell here and
people coming in from twenty miles
north claim It was heavier out there.
East Of Williston the rain. fall was
very heavy and around Ray, Hoga,
and White Earth it was practically !
cloud burst. The dinkey Tuesday
evening was held IN hour at Ray on
account Of the heavy rain and later
the fast mail was held up several
hours owing to the condition Of the
grade this side Of White Earth. While
it was not washed out the grade was
in bad shape and the trains were held
up until it was known to be safe to
cross the fiat this side of the town.
In White Earth there was . regular
food. Miss Rose Hyland Of this city
received word from home that the
water had flooded their house and did
. great deal Of damage to clothing
and furniture.

HEAT OVERCOME
AGED RAY MAN
FALLS INTO POOL OF WATER,
DROWNING AT SIDE OF THE
ROAD NEAR HIS HOME

Ray, N. D., July 29.-The neigh
borhood at Angie was greatly shock
ed when the body of A. T. Drakeley
was found lying alongside of the road
in a pool Of water. The body was
found by Mrs. w. c. Bode who imme-
diately notified his relatives.
Mr.. Drakeley had been visiting at
the home of his son, w. c. Drakeley
and started home walking along the
road and had evidently been overcome
by the heat and fell into the water.
Mr.. Drakeley had not been in the best
of health of late and it is thought
that the hot weather had weakened
him considerably.
The doctors stated that the cause
of his death was apoplexy.
A. T. Drakeley was born at Cottage
Grove, Wis, June 8, 1874, and at the
time of his death was little over 20
years old. Spending the early part If
his life in that state he moved with
his family to Steele county, North
Dakota in 1883 being one Of the first
settlers in that county and served as
the first federal judge Of Steele
county and later held the position Of
sheriff for few years, He had also
served during the civil war. His wife
died in February, 1904, and in 1906
he was married to Mrs. w. L. Aldrich
who survives him. About five years
ago he moved to Williams county set
Ting on his farm near Angie.
There are five children left, the
two sons, George and William, who
live here and three daughters, Mrs.
John Oxton, Mrs. VIM. Oxton and
Mrs. w. E. Elliott of Finley, N. D.

500 PLANS EARLY
L, BUILDING WORK
NEW ASSURANCE GIVEN THAT
LINE WILL CROSS THE BER.
THOLD RESERVATION

Ryder, N. D., July 23.-A letter to
E. B. Baker, of Parshall, on the Ber-
thold reservation, under date Of July
Is, President Pennington Of the. 500
sets at rest the unfounded reports
that the road would not lay steel on
its new extension across this rescr-
walton. President Pennington says
steel will be laid if possible to Var
hook, % miles from where the road
branches of the Max branch. Chief
Engineer Kalk writes David Larin,
secretary Of the Berthold Develop
ment league, to the same effect, to so
secure the league that is to hold its
annual meeting at Parshall on July
81. Great elation is felt on the re-
servation over this announcement that
means so much to the maternal well
fare Of its settlers. The 500 road has
ever been popular here and this con-
cession is deeply appreciated.
With the opening Of the so-called
coal lands next spring, comprising a
thousand good claims, the Berthold
reservation will become the scene Of
great activity. With q settler on ev-
cry one Of its quarter sections the
reservation can lay claim to being the
most thickly populated section Of this
state.

.OOSERS FAIL

BULL MOOSERS FAILED TO NOM.
MATE A STATE TICKET-COM.
MITTEE TO DEVICE METHOD
TO GET ON BALLOT

Fargo, July 25.-The progressive
party or bull moose convention, held
at the Sons of Norway hall yester-
day, failed to nominate state ticket,
which was the purpose for which the
meeting was called.
Only thirty-eight were present at
the meeting, and the statute specifies
that 800 must be in attendance at a
nominating convention. It was decid-
ed that committee shall be selected
to devise a method of how to get on
the November ballot.
The only feature of the whole meet
ing was the address Of Greely, the
Chicago Equity exchange orator, who
figured prominently here last winter
during the auditorium riot in which
figured George S. Lotus and J. NJ.
Anderson.
It is probable the progressive ticket
will be nominated by petition, accord
ing to the statement from State
Chairman Turner yesterday.

WOULDN'T MOVE

Sheriff Erickson and L. C. Wingate
had a very pleasant time Monday
when they went out to the Bader farm
near Wildrose to take possession of
the place. Mr.. Wingate had been
forced to foreclose his mortgage on
the farm and had been compelled to
pay taxes ETC., to protect his mort
gage. He offered to sell it back to
Bader and give him chance to clean
up but he couldn't hear anything like
that at all. He was going to stay
right on the place and would like to
see anyone remove him. Well the
sheriff and Wingate went out loaded
for bear, automatics galore, and
timidly approached the farm. But
the artillery was not needed as Bader
was good. He is out on paro1 anyway
and was afraid he would have to go
back if he wasn't good. So possession
was gained but the invaders had to
assist in removing the personal prop
erty of all kinds (and the sheriff had
to hold with some Of the crockery)
and the kinds were many. Taken all
in all the boys claim it was "Some
Experience"

GREAT FOREIGN
WHEAT DEMAND'
FOREIGN COUNTRIES SHORT ON
WHEAT CROP-BUYING MIL.
LIONS OF u. S. 1914 CROP

New York, July 23.-sfartled by
the reported change in prospects in
the American spring wheat territory,
and also alarmed by the sensational
reports from Russia and other wheat
growing territories, foreigners bought
wheat in the American market yes
terday on an extensive scale. and 1T
was reported at the close that the
sales had amounted to 2,50O,OOO. This
wheat was destined not only for
Great Britain but for continental,
ports, and even for Africa.
So accustomed has this country be-
come to the idea of an enormous
wheat crop that it is with difficulty
that it can comprehend that in other
countries conditions are not so fav-
orable. Practically all of Europe has
suffered during the growing season
from lack of rain and generally poor
crop prospects, so that the import re-
quirements Of most of the European
countries have been increased while
supplies outside of the United States
have been decreased.
Thre was heavy initial rush to buy
the new crop of United States wheat,
and sales until recently have been on
an enormous scale. Then there came
lull in the belief that requirements
had been anticipated, that it would be
possible in any event to replenish from
the enormous offerings which the
United States had in prospect. This,
demand, however, was renewed again
yesterday as q result OF sensational
reports both at home and abroad

NEW HAVEN
ACTION LAUNCHED
CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS ALSO
WILL BE SOUGHT AGAINST
EX-DlRECTORS

New York, July 23.-A civil suit to
force the separation of the New Hav-
en- Railroad company from its sub
sidiary rail, trolley and steamship
lines, under the Sherman antitrust
law, was filed in the federal court
here by Attorney General Mercy
nolds.
The suit begun today has no act
ual connection with the criminal in
dictments, which the attorney gen
eral will ask the grand jury to return
against the New Haven officers and
directors concerned in the upbuilding
of the alleged unlawful combination
in restraint Of trade.
T. w. Gregory, special assistant to
McReynolds, who filed the brief, and
F. M. Swacker, expert from the in
terstate commerce commission, who
worked many months on the case, are
expected to lay evidence before the
grand jury here on which the indict-
ments will be asked.
1t is understood that these officials
feel that they have sufficient evidence
to make out prima facie case against
the New Haven officers and directors.
Such action will mark the begin
ming of what may prove to be. the
most important criminal proceeding
ever undertaken under the Sherman
antitrust act in twenty-four years
that it has been on the statute books.
The civil suit of the New Haven may
not offer any great refense, but gov
ernment officials would be greatly
surprised if an attempt to convict the
directors and officers does not lead
to a great legal battle which prob
ably will not end this side Of the su-
preme court.

INJURED IN RUNAWAY

Arthur Patterson, a farmer living
near Marmon was discovered Friday
evening by E. r. Brownso nand party
lying unconscious in his field. He was
taken to his shack while Mr.. Brown
son autoed to Marmon and phoned
for a physician. The injured man
was brought to this city and is now
at the hospital. He did not gain con-
sciousness until Tuesday and is now
improving. He was badly injured
about the head it being covered with
bruises. In addition to the cuts and
bruises his jaw was broken in two
places.
Patterson was raking hay when in

team ran away with him. It is not
known just how long he was lying In
the field before the Brownson party
found him.

PLENTY OF CARS
TO MOVE CROPS
RAILROAD OFFICIALS CLAIM
CAR CONGESTION WILL NOT
BE BUSINESS MENACE

Minneapolis, July 25.-The north
west grain crop will move this year
with such provision made for it and 50
much equipment available that what
ever the total quantity to be moved,
car congestion will not be business
menace, according to railroad officials.
Neither does it appear that there will
be a car scarcity through the early
part of the marketing.
That the crop, if it holds up any
where near first predictions, will make
record grain receipts and utilize cars
in record number, is possibility, but
railroad officials are inclined to the
opinion that if car scarcity develops
it will not come until January of Feb
ruary, 1915.
A Problem in Former Years
In former years the railroads cen
tering in Minneapolis have had great
difficulty in keeping their system cars
available for grain loading, and it was
common experience to find that when
the early loading was going on and de-
mand for cars was insistent many
pieces Of rolling stock were in the east
or south, where they had been ship
ped with merchandise, and that q long
wait for tnier return was inevitable.
G. N. Well Supplied
The Great Northern road, which is
ready for the grain crop movement,
which will start in the next few days,
when coarse grains began to appear in
loadings, owns 55,7 ,734 freight cars and
has $500 cars on it's system rails at
this time, according to railroad bu-
reau report out today. Not only has
the road been able to prevent the TAX
ing of any great number Of it's cars
for service elsewhere, but it has more
than sufficient foreign cars on it's rails
to Offset the number of its own cars
elsewhere in use.
Other Roads Have Plenty
The Northern Pacific is reported
with 47,2O1 cars on it's rails, compar-
ed with 48,972 owned, while the Mil
waukee system, which owns 81, ,636
cars, has 63, 600 on hand. 500 line,
with 26,0O4 cars owned, has 22,377
available on its own lines, and will
have many cars now in eastern service
back and available for grain loading
in the near future. The Chicago &
Northwestern, VIII b interchanges
everywhere with Il Omaha, owns
64,863 cars and has N,947 cars on its
own rails.

London, July 29.-While Austria
Hungary is preparing to strike at
Servia, against whom she yesterday
declared war the rest Of the Euro.
pean nations, although hoping that.
the conflict will be localized, were GET.
ting ready for . greater war that
must ensue in case Russia should in.
tervene on behalf Of the small Slav
nation.
The state Of the stock market In
London showed the situation 10 CON-
sidered grave.
Anxiety is increased by the issue Of
orders to the British heet at Portland

ed the exact destination Of the troops.
from reaching the outside world.
All Austria Hungaria railways were
taken over yesterday for military
traffic. The transportation OF the gen-,
eral public is suspended.
Servia, it is known, it just as active
in moving her troops. Strong forces
were dispatched to the fortified towns
of Valyevo and Uzhitza on the Bos-
nian frontier and to Svilajnatz, in the
eastern part of the country, while.
strong divisions of volunteers, rein-
forced by regulars, are gathering
along the River Drina, near Losnitzy
on the Bosnian frontier.
London, July 29.-Reports of the
massing of armies in strategis posi-
tions today came from all points Of
Europe, but no actual clash of the OPP
posing forces was registered.
Diplomats concentrated their atten-
tion on efforts to confine the war to-
Austria Hungard and Servia, the two
nations Immediately concerned in ths
quarrel, and the attitude of the Ger
man and Russian emperors is closely
watched, owing to their near relations
to the countries engaged.
Premier Asquith referred to the in
ternational situation in the house OF
commons, but all the information that
he was able to impart, was contained
in few words.
Not Relaxing Efforts
"The situation at this moment" he
said, "is one of extreme gravity, and
l can only say that the British gov
ernment is not relaxing its efforts to
do everything in it's power to circum-
scribe the area of the conflict.
"The British government has re-
ceived no information as to an alleged
revolutionary outbreak in Russian
Poland"
Resound With Marching of Troops
Austria Hungary and Servia re-
sounded with the march of troops to-
ward positions of attack and defense,
while military aviators on both sides
fitted through the air along the from
tiers in efforts to discover their op-
ponents' positions.
Take Over Train Service
1t is known that the Austria Hun
garian government has requisitioned
the entire train service and that pri-
vate transportation in the dual mon
archy has ceased.
Attack on Bosnian Frontier
1t is CLEANED from dispatches from
Servian points that the Bosnian from
tier is looked upon as the most like
ly point of attack of the Austrian
troops, and thither the soldiers of
King Peter are being hurried in great
numbers
