CHINESE PHEASAN CROP

secured from w the state. the IL
crease of the beautiful Chinese pleas
ants imported in South Dakota last
year distributed in pairs over the state

apparently resulted in flocks OF the

believed that the ~pheasants would not
winter successfully in South Dakota,

tensions have evidently been ground

WAR CAUSES DEMAND
FOR AMERICAN COAL
South America Turns to Uncle
Sam For It's Supply
Of Fuel.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE war has
caused unprecedented conditions in the
American export coal trade, according
to the Black Diamond, the official or
a of the coal interests. The result,
the paper says, will be that the trend
of coal trade affairs outwardiy at least,
will be determined by the buyers
rather than the producers.
INQUIRIES are received from South
America for enough coal to tide over
the period of war. Those who have
had the opportunity of coming to the
Australian, the Japanese or the United
States market, are electing to buy in
the United States. This is because coal
brought from Australia and Japan
would be subject to seizure because
one is a British colony and Japan may
become a British ally.
It is reported that ships would start
as soon as possible from Rio Janeiro
to the United States to carry back
coal. AT one eastern port 100000 tors
of coal have accumulated and more, it
is said, is in transit.
