LOSS o HEAVY.

Mandan, N. D., June 16.-RepOrts
from the district that vas hit by a
heavy hail storm last week indicate
that much of the grain that was
knocked into the ground will recover,
and that the loss will be considerably
less than first estimated.
The reportsfi many Of them belated
by reason of the fact that means of
communication were disrupted, indi-
cate that the ice storm was n of
the most widespread and heaviest in
the history of the state. ,
Winter rye suffered the heaviest,
and as there was considerable acre.
age of that grain, the loss is consid-
cradle.
In the Otter Creek district, the
southern part of this county, the
heavy losers of rye included M. L.
Banning, H. N. Whitcomb, Arthur
Weeks, J. Weeks. Near Fletcher, the
J.. Eollinger farm was badly hit, and
the residence was damaged consider
ably by big chunks of ice.
Near Carson, the barn on the Elias
Simpson farm was badly damaged,
the roof being literally ripped to
pieces.
Around New Leipzig wheat, which
appeared to have been damaged to
the extent Of about fifty per cent, will
not show a greater loss than twenty
five per cent, according to present in
dicatiOns.
The conditions in the district that
was hit by the hail were the best in
several years, but even in spite of the
ice storm, there are indications that
a good yield will be obtained by many
of the farmers.

FLINT Is WORTHY.

Mr.. II. +. Flint, VINO Is q candidate
for Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor of North Dakota, should have
the hearty support of the diary inter-
ests of that state, as he has proved
himself worthy of the position by the
work he has done in the past for
agriculture and dairying. Mr.. Flint
has risen from the ranks of butter
makers and is therefore especially
qualified to boost the diary work.
The progress made by Mr.. Flint
should be an inspiration to every
buttermaker in the country, it shows
there is room at the top for good
men, if they apply themselves to
their work and put forth enough ef-
forts to make good. The nan who
does his work we'll will be rewarded
for his labors, but the young man
cannot expect to fill the best position
after he has had a year or two of ex-
perience. 1t takes time to establish
a reputation, which may eel like
slow progress, but by adding to and
not taking therefrom success is sure.
Mr.. Flint had added to his reputa-
ton as a dairyman continuously since
he started in the diary work, and
slowly but surely, perhaps being un-
conscious of the fact himself, he has
grown in the estimation of those who
know him, and his many friends will
be glad to see him placed In a posi-
ton where he can be of still greater
assistance in the development of an
industry which is the foundation of
the state, and w~isesdirection will very
materially promote it. MI. Flint is
worthy of the position he seeks.-ln

n TRUST

Now for the trust question. How
shall it be handled? And how Ions
Will it take?
AS usual, the House has been com
placent. No trouble there when the
President makes known his wishes
The committee on rules is at his ser
vice, and the Democratic majority il
the chamber is so large many votes
can be spared without imperiling 4
White House program. Speaker Clark
and Mr. Underwood m%arshaled a good
ly number against the repeal of the
canal tolls law, but the President had
his way.
But manipulating the Senate is a
different proposition. No gag can be
applied in that body. The Democratic
majority is small. When discussion
is demanded it can be obtained No
high and mighty methods are possible
when questions are up and senators
want to be heard
When the tariff question was trans
ferred from the House, where its pas,
sage had been speeded up, to the SEN
ate, the business world appealed for
a hearing, and got it. The Senate
held the Underwood bill for five
months, and improved it very much
Then followed the currency ques-
ton, and again the Senate was asked
to remedy the defects in the bill which
the House in its speed had left in the
measure. Again the Senate complied.
Business was granted its day in court,
and profited by the opportunity to
present it's views. All classes of bust
ness men1praise the Senate's part in
currency revision.
Then followed the canal tolls ques-
ton; and while the Senate did not
assert itself in the matter as strongly
as it should, it gave two months, and
more, to it, and refused unqualified
repeal.
Business is as much disturbed over
the trust question as it was over eth
er the tariff or the currency. 1t would
much prefer no action at all at this
session, asking a breathing spell after
twelve months of ceaseless agitation
and increasing depression. But if &C
ton is to be taken, it wants that &C.
ton we'll considered. Hasty legisla.
ton, 1t asserts, would work appalling
mischief at a time when confidence,
II not gone, is very greatly Shaken.
Defective trust legislation added to
defective tariff legislation and expert
mental currency legislation might
bring things down with a crash.
The Senate, then, has the problem.
AS the President insists on action,
the question relates to the Senate's
progress. How much time will be nee
essary to put the measure or meas.
ures into the proper shape-into
shape not adding to present business
emDarrassments? The summer is
here. Important political campaigns
are approaching. Control of the next
Congress Is at stake. What says the
Senate? Action before adjournment?
And, If so, how much debate.

FALL OFF

The revised tariff has been in force
for more than seven months. The
figures available show that since the
beginning of last October to the end
Of last month exports decreased $1l3,-
012.555, in comparison with the cor
responding period in the previous
year. At the same time imports in,
creased $23,62o,493. As a result the
trade balance for the seven months
ended in April was less favorable by
$136,G3S, O4S than for the same months
in the previous year.
This is a very large shift, but its
significance is made more impressive
when it is noted that last month
alone the alteration in the relation of
imports and exports compared with
the April figures a year ago convert
ed an export balance of $10,271 ,672, a
total change of $64, 2,721 adverse to
