CROP OUTLOOK
NEVER BETTER

Minneapolis Mimi, July 8.-Glow-
ing reports Of crop conditions in the
Dakotas and Eastern Montana that in
sure a great measure of prosperity to
the Northwest and to Minneapolis
were brought to the city today by J.
S. Pomeroy, vice president of the Sc
curity National bank, and by J. H.
Wishek, president of the Ashley State
bank Ashley, N D.
"Conditions in North and South Da-
kota are simply wonderful" said Mr..
Pomeroy, who has just returned from
attending the bankers convention at
Williston. THE crop is more than a
prospect. 1t is a practical certainty.
Some of the Red River Valley has had
too much rain, but in the state as a
whole the outlook has never been sur
passed.
THE rains have been followed by
dry, cool weather, which prevents
damage from the heavy wetting. The
bench lands back from the valley have
had ample rain for the small grain"
Wishek said: 1--WE are going to have
a wonderful crop. 1t is hard to see
how we can lose now. If rust does de-
yelop it will only be in certain locaIi-
ties and will not much reduce the gen
eral yield"

ARE ALLEGED

Of lively debate between the Okla

house last night rejected a senate
amendment to the Indian appropria-

claims for participation in the tribal
funds Of the Choctaw Indians Of Ok

FOREIGN
BUSINESS
OF i. 5.

Washington, July S.--Foreign man
ufacturers sent into the United States
during the first eight months of the
new tariff system sold just S.8 per
cent more of their finished product
than they did under the old. This was
pointed out last night by Secretary
Redfield as ample demonstration that
there was no ground for fears of
American factory owners that they
would be driven from business by the
democratic tariff.
Importations Of foodstuffs showed a
large percentage Of increase in the
eight months which ended with May.
while foodstuff exports fell off sub
stantially. There was a relatively
small reduction in the amount Of COM
pleted manufactures exported.
"The figures" said Secretary Red
Held. show, as it is normal they
should, the results Of the worldwide
depression in commerce as modified
by our own shortage of foodstuffs,
arising from the inadequate crops of
last year, which condition is rapidly
passing away. They indicate also
that our competing power in manu-
featuring Is well sustained because at
a time when our commercial rivals are
eager to sell and unwilling to buy,
the item of export Of fully finished
manufactures is depressed relatively
little and the item of imports of
finished manufactures increases
relatively little"
The total increase of importations
of foodstuffs, the departments figure
showed, was $56,750,437, while the
total increase in importations for the
In the line of finished manufactures.
Mr.. Redtield said, the United States
was maintaining it's foreign business
well. ~. :
The decrease of exports of food
stuffs,' the secretary added. "announts
in the eight months to $97,573.55S. a
fact sufficiently explained by our not
having the foodstuffs to sell. The
present large promise of fine crops
has already begun to alter this situ-
alton. A further decrease appears in
manufactures for further use in man
ufacturing, of $30,668,377, rejecting
the depressed condition of industries
in foreign countries"
Out of a total decrease in exports
for the eight months of $145,703,6 $40,
more than $128.000, 600 was in food
stuffs and manufactures for further
use in manufacturing.
Total imports for the eight months
We're $1,288,656,041, compared with ST.
23S,519,365 for the same period last
year. Free merchandise for the two
periods was respectively $800,214,03S
and $6S3,015,455. Total exports were
against $1,7S6, ,07o.945.
Imports for May, 1914. amounted to
$164 ,20a,515 compared with $133,723,713

SINPLON TUNNEL
WAS INUNDATED

Brigue, Switzerland, July 8.-The
Simplon tunnel was inundated yes
terday by d subterranean stream
which burst through the retaining
wall and flooded the tunnel to a depth
of two feet. A train was derailed in
the middle of the tunnel, but no one
was hurt. The passengers were oblig-
ed to walk several miles to Iselle. A
Large number of American tourists
were stalled at Brigue and Domodos-
sola. Many of them telephoned for

while others went around by way Of

SUIT
AGAINST
NH. R. R.

Washington, July 8.-Although the
department Of justice is preparing to
go ahead and file it's long planned anti
trust suit for the dissolution Of the
New Haven Railroad system, Attorney
General McReynolds is still hopeful OF
settlement without a prolonged fight
in othe courts.
AS announced some time ago, Presi-
dent Wilson and the attorney general
agreed that the suit should be filed
this morning unless the Massachusetts
legislature and the executive commits
sioner Of the railroads agreed on GER
tain legislation. Before disposing of
some of the stocks which the govern
ment contends are being held in viola
ton of law, the attorney general
agreed to withhold suit until July Is.
1t now seems likely that a disagree
ment may prevent theA necessary ac-
ton before the present legislature
goes out of existence. The ad-
ministration officials pin their faith Of
a settlement without long fight on
the fact that new legislature comes
in existence JAM. 1.
