N. D. CROP IS
BEST IN NORTHWEST

Bismarck, N. D., July 20.-While crop
conditions generally throughout the
entire northwest are exceptionally fine,
1t is not generally known that those of
North Dakota by far surpass those of
her sister states and also of Canada, as
well.
From men of all occupations requir-
ing them to cover this state and sur
rounding territory come reports of the
prospects of a bumper crop for 1914.
among those returning from such trips
Is Mr.. Roberts Of the local weather
bureau.
Sees Canadian Crops.
He has recently returned from a trip
through northwestern North Dakota,
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
Montana, and his observations are In
teresting. He states that the condi-
tons in North Dakota. in Its poorest
parts, are as good as, or better than
the conditions in the best of the sur
rounding country, In Manitoba condt-
tons are quite similar to those in the
Missouri Slope. From 100 miles west
poor, due to lack Of precipitation.
But One-haIf Crop.
In many places beween these two
points less han one-half a crop will
be harvested, even with the most faV-
oraple conditions from now to the close
Of the season. North from Calgary the
conditions improve, but as the season
In that latitude Is so short, crop con-
ditions are not Of as great Importance
as In the regions further south.
Good I'm Montana.
Conditions In Montana are generally
good, although the crops in the north
eastern portion are rather backward,
owing to lack of rain in April, May and
early June. However, recent rains have
greatly improved conditions and there
is every prospect of a bountiful crop in
all parts of the state.
In North dakota the conditions are
favorable, except in the four counties
in the northeastern portion of the state,
Pernbina, Cavalier, Rolette and Bot
tineau, where the rainfall has been de-
1cient.. 1t is not to be inferred from
these remarks that ever in those coun-
ties the crops are poor, for, on the con-
trary. the crop will be large one. for
these counties comprise four OF the best
wheat growing sections of the state.
BurIeigh I'm the Lead.
Nowhere in the state or in the entire
northwest are better conditions to be
found than In the Missouri Slope, and
ne county In the slope appears to bet
ter advantage than does Rurleighs

DROWNED AT DES Laos
IN G. n. RESERVOIR

Des Laos, N. D., July 2O.-Ole Lysne,
aged 80, was downed in the Great
Northern reservoir here, while bathing.
Deceased had arrived with an extra
gang that morning and after working
through the hottest day of the sea-
son, went for a dip and a bath in
the cool water. Other members of the
crew, while returning from the reser-
Voir, met deceased who said he was
going to take a bath. Nothing more
was thought OF the matter, and the
fact of his not returning to the bunk
car, was not noted until mex morn
ing. A search was then instituted and
on going to the reservoir the mans
clothing was found lying on the
shore near the bridge. The coroner
was Immediately notified and after
several hours were spent in dragging
the reservoir the body was located in
water about seven feet deep.
There was no evidence of foul play
Or of suicide, and the superstition is
that the mar could not swim and
slipping on the muddy bottom which
ends abruptly into deep water, he was
drowned.
Besides five brothers living in the
east, deceased has a brother at Ham
let, N. D., who arrived Thursday ana
shipped the body to Hamlet for burial.

TWO YOUNG GIRLS
Ran AWAY FROM HOME

Rutland, N. D., July 20.-The people
of this town and community were
somewhat surprised to learn that Reg
ma Nelson Inc Selma Osterberg, two
Is -year-old girls of this community,
had taken French leave in the night
and it was thought that they had TAX
en- the freight for Aberdeen. The par
ents of the girls at once started for
tina" place and are in hopes of catch
ing the fugitiVes before they get too
far from home. .
Friends and relatives can not con-
ceive why they should have left, for
there was apparently no reason and
they were both happy and contented
in their homes.
It is probable that they are already
tired Of their escapade and will be
home before this reaches U readers
at least we hope so.

BOLD HOLDUP IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT

Cayuga, N. D., July 20. - One OF
the most daringg holdups happened in
the annals of this county, not that there
was anything spectacular about 1t but
considering the time of day and the
nearness to houses and towns 1t was
a rather unusual piece of work for any
place.
Clarence Boydas, who works fol-
John Kchinsky, just southwest OF
Geneseo was just leaving the corn field
for dinner when he was accosted by
two well dressed individuals and com
manded to hold up his hands. Not
complying at once one Of the robbers
struck Boydas in the face with some
blunt object, infiicting a very deeE
wound and stunning him for a minute
after this blow he reached for his
pocket intending to hand over his
pocketbook and the men took fright
and vanished in a nearby field.
The blow that was struck at
him landed fairly on the nose, cutting
both nostrils through and bruising the
bone badly. He at one started for the
house and was hurried to Cayuge
where DR.. Hubbard dressed the wound
and made the young man as comfort.
able as possible.

HOT ON TRAIL OF
TWO YOUNG THIEVES

Medora, N. D., July 20.-Two young
men who had been about Medora sew
eral days hired two horses and sad
dies from j. NJ. Watson, and IN their
failure to return the property in a
reasonable time, Mr.. Watson procured
a warrant for their arrest. and Depu-
ty Pehrsson undertook their capture.
George Gardner was sworn in as dep
uty and together they took up the
trail. They had gone down the river,

pursuers were at Oakdale, in Dunn

KINDRED BOYS FOOT
CAUGHT IN MOWER

Kindred, N. D., July 20. $3.50 While
moving on his fathers farm, south
east Of town, the sickle became clog
ged and little Richard Fatland, IL
years of age, who was running the
mower, had succeeded in clearing the
same when one of the horses had
switched the line from his hand In
front Of the cutting bar. The little
fellow stepped in front to remove the
line when the team started and his
foot was caught in the sickle cutting
all the tendons in the back OF the an
kle and half way through the joint.
He was hurried to Kindred where DR..
Haugen dressed the wound n he
was taken Immediately to a hospital
in Fargo. The foot will no doubt be
saved but he will never have free use

Baking Helps
Valuable Suggestions

The An Of Baking, aSkaught By
Mrs. Janet mckenzie Hill
Valuable SuSd

"e<IfEy o0RtHS, OF
Mrs. Janet mckenzie Hill
Helpful Cake Making Hints
Always sift -four and K Baking
Powder at least three times. The
more sitting, the lighter the cake.
Remember that! TO cream but
ter and sugar quickly, warm the
sugar slightly. Beat yo1ks of eggs
with rotary beaten. Whip whites
of eggs with fiat spoon whip.
Water makes lighter cakes; milk
makes richer cakes.
To mix a cake, first cream but
ter and sugar thoroughly, then add
yolks, if used. Then alternately
add moisture and -four that has
been sifted with baking powder
and stir until smooth and glossy,
adding egg whites after thoroughly
mixing.
AkVays use KC BAKING Ponder.
Biscuit Helps
Always ift flour and K c Baking
Powder at least three times.
Have shortening cold and firm.
Mix dough as soft as it can be
handled. The softer dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the
biscuit when it comes out. 1t is
easier for K G Baking Powder to
do its work in soft than in stiff
dough. Mix biscuits very little.
Do not knead. Stir up with spoon
or knife and press in shape to roll
on Toured board.
With K G Baking Powder re-
suits are sure and certain. Ask
yetlr grocer for z. C. 40

Burning Coal Mine
Furnishes a Spectacle

Billings County Herald: A dense smoke issuing from the abandon
ed mne-shafts at the elsts side Of town last week attracted considerable
attention. Examination showed that the fire had fallen through into
the lower shaft and was burning fercely from the additional air given.
Additional interest a excited by the fact that 100 pounds Of dynamite
had been left in the shaft for sfek keeping. An employee at the Nichols
mine went, into the inferno this week and brought forth the stuff that
had such destructive possibilities.
Three years ago a shaft was driven into the butte to reach the coal

Last week the toy of the newer and lower shaft gave way, letting
the fire down into it, and thereby furnishing additional air o the burn
ing coal. The whte-h flames could De seen plainly 100 feet back in
the lower drift, and the roa of the burning could be heard. Many per-
