RAIN BADLY NEEDED
IN RAMSEY COUNTY

Devils Lake, N. D., July 24.-That
rain is needed and badly needed is
the opinion of a number of the fore
most farmers of Ramsey county. Dur
ing the past three days crops have
been suffering for moisture. Late
grain Is suffering most. but the early
grain has been damaged a great deal.
and the prospect of a week ago has
fallen at least Is per cent. There will
be no bumper" crop in North Da-
kota this year. That is a settled fact.
With conditions favorable from now on
there will be an average crop only.
The wild oats pest will reduce the
yield in half the fields 80 to SO per
cent. AS usual the farms which have
been farmed right are going to come
through with fair yields. The others
are going to prove disappointing.
The corn crop is doing well and is
all that could be hoped for. Some of
the late sown fields have been plowed
up and more will follow. Haying is
progressing nicely and the crop is
good. There will be plenty Of feed
Stock never looked better than now

JACK SIMPkiNS REWARD.
Offered by the State and Has Never
Been Withdrawn.
Capital NeWs)

An echo of the murder of Governor
Frank Steunenberg of this state re-
calling those stirring times, the ar
rest of Harry Orchard and the trial
of Western Federation officers, is
heard in the communication of B. w.
Henry, an attorney of Caldwell, to the
attorney general, asking if the state
posted a reward for the capture Of
Jack Simpkns, who mysteriously dis
appeared after the murder. Simpkins
was in Caldwell just before the crime
was committed. He was indicted for
the murder as one of the Western
Federation's alleged dynamiters, to-
gether with Orchard, Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone. He held the title of
Idaho member Of the executive COM
mittee of the federation. orchard i'm
plicated him in his confession.
Henry's inquiry is as to whether
there is a state reward outstanding at
this time for the apprehension Of
Simpkins. So far as the records, OF
the state show there is no reward out
standing. However, reward was Of
fered following the murder for the ar
rest and conviction Of the murderer
or murderers. Following the murder
the indictments were returned against
the five persons named above and
four of them were arrested, Orchard,
Mover Haywood and Pettibone. Aside
from Orchard none of them was con-
victed. Simpkins never could be
found. At intervals reports have had
him at various places all over the
country. Many times he has been To-
Gated apparently only to find out that
the man supposed to be Simpkins was
someone else. The communication
from Caldwell recalls these former re-
ports. 1t was at Caldwell that Gov
ernor Steunenberg was murdered
through the explosion of a bomb plac-
ed under his gate.

CALUMET e. HECLA.
A Payroll That Makes Others Look
Small by Comparison.

As indicative of the size of the CAL
umet e. Hecla organization, testimony
by the manager, James MacNaugh-
ton before the congressional investi-
eating committee at the time of the
late strike Is of interest, says the En-
cheering and Mining Journal. Mr..
MacNaughton gave it as his opinion
that the Calumet & Hecla Mining
company had $21,OOO,O0O to $4,000
900 invested in plant. The deepest
workings of the Calumet & Hecla
proper are 5000 feet vertically or 800
feet on the dip Of the formation. The
several companies which Mr.. Mac
Naughton manages had a total of
s5O6 men employed on July %. 1913.
Compare this with 5000 men employ
ed in mining in the state of Idaho and
5000 in the state Of Nevada. Even In
all of Montana the number of en-
ployes is less than twice as great.
about $500. The complement of
bosses for the Calumet & Hecla and
its subsidiaries was between $50 and
500; this would be a large labor force
for an ordinary mine.

OYSTERS VS. SHELTERS
UNIQUE DAMAGE SUIT
COPPER FOUND IN OYSTERS, BUT
IT DID NOT COME FROM
SHELTER STAG.

An interesting case was fought out
in the United States district court at
Norfolk, Va, and decision given by
the jury on Saturday, June q, 1914,
Mr.. HeminWay, wealthy oyster
packer who is retiring from the oyster
business, brought suit for $4,000 dam
age to his oyster beds by the Virginia
Smelling company, says correspond
ent of the Engineering and Mining
Journal.
Plaintiff produced receipts from the
state inspector of grounds leasing him
oyster ground near the smelling plant
and showed that the smelling COM
pany poured Stag on some of his beds,
The grounds for the suit were based
on damage to oysters by action of
copper and other deleterous sub
stances on the oysters
Oysters Ruined for so Miles.
Plaintiff produced an abundance of
evidence from oystermen and others,
who swore that the smeltery had ruin
ed the oysters for distances as much
as so miles in all directions. A PAM
phlet from the state bureau of chem
istry was put nj evidence in support
of the view that the smeltery did the
damage. A chemist employed in gov
eminent service was placed upon the
stand and testified to the finding of
certain percentages of copper in oys-
tiers from near the works and gave his
explanation of how the copper came
to them from the plant although he
only found traces of copper in the
Stag
The defense proved that copper in
STAG was not soluble; that its business
is to recover copper and not scatter it
over the country; that enormous
amounts of Paris green were spread
on the lands in the surrounding dis
trcts yearly for a long time. That
there were many other sources Of cop
per and finally that copper is as ne
cessary to the life of the oyster as
iron is necessary as carrier of oxy-
gen In mammals.
Proof That All Oysters Carry Copper.
Il proved that oysters in Spain,
Holland, England, New York and
New Jersey and many other places
had copper in quantities greater than
was claimed by plaintiff In the oysters
near the smeltery The defense show
ed that oysters all over the district as
much as so miles away and up the
river had more copper than near the
smelling plant. The prosecuting at
torney claimed that the defendant
was proving that the plant was tax
ing the copper out Of the oysters as
they got nearer the works. The de-
PENDANT solemnly repudiated any sucl
claim, but proved that all the damage
was due to sewage and showed by un'
controvertible evidence the oysters
from these beds were not allowed tt
be sold for food and that copper ha{
nothing to do with it, but that it was
purely a question of sewage contain
nation.
+ During the proceedings both sides
got busy opening oysters to prove
their respective contentious. The re
suits were often very amusing. The
jury awarded the plaintiff $3.50 which
was, of course, a practical victory fol
the smelling company.
