NORWEGIAN BOAT
WRECKED BY Nine

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The wreck
ing of the neutral Norwegian steamer
Tysla by a mine outside the Dutch is
land of Wieringen Saturday served to
turn discussion in naval circles to the
provisions in the Hague convention
governing the laying of both anchored
and unanchored imnes.
Appalling is is the danger of de-
structton of neutral commerce and the
menace to human life, through the
employment Of automatic contact
mines, their use is sanctioned by the
nations. Emphasis vas laid on the
fact that the United States, with
Austria, Germany and other powers
at the last Hague conference opposed
a convention which would prohibit the
placing of such devices in the high
seas where they would be a menace to
neutral commerce.
The most the Hague conference did
in 1907, was to draw up regulations
for the use of these deadly instru-
ments of warfare. This convention
forbids the laying of "~Gnanchored au-
tomato contact mines, exert when
they are so constructed as to become
harmless one hour at most after the
person who laid them ceases to con-
troll them.
1t likewise prohibits the laying of
dlCllOL CQ AUTOMATIC CONTACT mines
which do not become harmless as
soon as they have been broken loose.
from their mornings, or the employ
ment Of torpedoes which do not be-
come harmless when they have missed
their mark.
Although there is a stipulation in
the convention that every possible
precaution must be taken for the Sc
curity of peaceful shipping, the con-
census Of opinion was that the article
is a dead letter as instanced in the
damage done the neutral Norwegian
vessel Saturday. Officials here believe
the mine which caused the damage
was anchored, as most Of the North
sea is not more than thirty fathoms
deep and much of it less than that. 1t
is thought. therefore the mines can be
easily removed at the conclusion OF
the war. Each power promises to re-
move at the close of hostilities all
mines that can be located; and in the
case Of anchored automatic mines laid
by one of the belligerents off the coast
of the other, their position must be
told to the other party by the power
which laid them and each power
promises to remove with the least
possible delay the mines in it's own
waters.
This mine convention is to remain
IN force eve years from the date of
it's first deposit with the Netherlands
government, and thereafter unless
formally denounced. So momentous
was this problem regarded at the sec
ond Hague conference that the con-
tracing powers solemnly agreed to
reopen the question of the employ
of automatic contact mines six
months before the expiration Of the
period "in the event Of the question
having been already reopened and
by the third peace conference.

which has sand OF gravel mixed with
1T. This method, called the top soil
method" is now in successful use in
Clarke county, Georgia.
Storm water should be disposed of
quickly before it has had time to pene-
|trate deeply into the surface of the
road. This can be done by giving the
road a crown or slope from the center
to the sides. For an earth road which
lis twenty-four feet wide, the center
should be not less than six inches nor
more than twelve inches higher than
the outer edges of the shoulder.
The narrow road which is high In
the middle will become rutted almost
as quickly as which is too fiat, for
h reason that on a narrow road all
the trafttc is forced to use only a mar
row strip. Shoulders are often formed
on both sides of the road, which pre-
vents storm water from flowing into
the side bitches, retaining it In the ruts
n softening the roadway. These ruts
and shoulders can be entirely eliminat-
ed with the road machine or split-log
drag.
The width of the earth road will de-
pend on the traffic. AS a rule, twenty
five or thirty feet from ditch to ditch
is sufficient IL the road is properly
crowned. Ordinarily the only bitches
needed are those made with the road
machine, which are wide and shallow.
Deep, narrow bitches wash rapidly,
especially on steep slopes. The earth
road should not be loosened, dug up,
or plowed up any more than is abso-
lutely necessary. 1t should be gradual
ly raised, not lowered; hardened, not
softened.

HORSE RUNS AWAY and
DEATH SEEMS CERTAIN

In what might have been a very
serious accident on Saturday afternoon,
a single horse, driven by a oma with
a small boy at her side, was frightened
by an automobile and narrowly escap-
ed being hit by a street car at the cor
ner of Seventh and Front street, MOOT
head.
The woman was driving on Seventh
street north, not far from the Wheeler
block, when an automobile came up
quickly and frightened he horse. the
animal began to run when he became
unmanageable and started towards the
main street. 1t it had not been for the
raver Of a man. who stepped out INTO
the street and slackened h speed OF
the horse enough SO that the woman
again got control, it is probable mat
the horse and driver, as well as the rig,
would have been badly broken up, lot
the horse barely missed a passing
street car going at a good rate of speed.
AS it was, the horse was hnaIly
brought to a standstill on Sixth street
south. The woman was none the worse
for the ride, although she was badly
frightened and bruised.

FARMERS IN The MIDST
OF THRESHING SEASON

The armers in this part Of the
country are going at the work In the
harvest fields with a vim. everything
looks good and most of the men are
optimistic. as to the crop outcome
Wheat especially is at a high MARI IN
price.
Henry Weideman has already men
in the fields with bundle wagons ana
Is in the midst of threshing. Theo'
Schroeder is also hard at the thresh-
ing game as are many Of the other
farmers in his district of the county.
AS TO prices, a story from The Min
neapoIis Journel this morning seems
at least encouraging.
After a. lower opening, both here and
in Chicago, prices moved upward IN
the same sensational way That mas
characterized the market all Wees
New high points were recorded, both
hera nd in Chicago, and Minneapolis
easily maintained it's lead over other
markets. During the session trade was
light and fluctuations wide, though
there were fewer of them than IN the
last several days. The. oldest ace
in the pit say they have never before
seen such a market as this mas oeen
throughout the week.
A feature of the day was a private
cable from London hat the British
government Is
through the Bank of England, ana 10

After the early WeakneSs, the .L
ket had a strong undertone until Inc
close This strong undertone, howev-
ar which has been a feature Of the
market all week, is almost entirely
based on sentimental, or psychologist
al conditions. Most of the trading IS
of speculative character. and the trad
ers are afraid to sell short; trey only
sell after they have the whet bought,
AS no hedging sales are coming into
this market, the only wheat that q
be bought is long wheat that some
