FerOcious Animal in Velva Mine.

Joe Strong, owner of a valuable
mine at Velva, visited Minot friends
last week. A short time ago, a fe-
rocious looking animal was seen in
the mine and it is presumed that it
was lynx, for only short time be-
for an animal of this species was kill
ed in gulch near by, by Floyd Russell.
Mr.. Strong went into the mine armed
with a pick and the animal receded.
AS he ventured into one chamber, the
animal rushed out of another and
knocked down Andrew Quist, lacerat-
ing his face so badly that one eye may
have to be removed. The trusty old
mule became frightened and ran down
an embankment with five cars, break
ing it's leg. The animal had to be
shot.

SENSATIONAL RISE
 ON COTTON MARKET
During Excited Day Prices Go Higher With December $2 Above Previous Day.-The Market Closed Firm.

New York, Sept 21.-There was sensational advance in the cotton mar ket here today, with trading more ac- tive and excited than at any time pre- viously this season, and with Decem> Der contracts selling up to 11.5Sc. or more than $2 per bale above yester- days closing price. Realizing caused reactions of 9 to 10 points in the late trading, but the final tone was firm and last prices showed net gains of from 30 to 34 points.
 There was an active buying move ment at the start and the market open ed firm, at an advance of II to 37 points on a renewal of aggressive bull support, urgent covering and a more or less general demand through commission houses. October sold up to Hole and January to 11.67c, on or immediately following the call, or about 21 to 39 points above last nights close. This advance carried prices out of line with Liverpool and there

WAR BUDGET GREAT.
 EST IN ALL HISTORY
New Budget Introduced Yester- day Said to be Greatest in the History of the WOrld.-WOrk- mems Wages are Taxed.

London, Sept. 21.-The greatest war budget in the worlds history was in- troduced in the house of commons to- day by Reginald McKenna, chancellor of the exchequer, as another step to- wards financing the war which is now costing Great Britain nearly s25.OOO.- 900 daily.
 New military requirements and changed methods lave created over night additional expenditures. These had not been reckoned with even in the comparatively recent estimates of David Lloyd-George, the munitions minister, necessitating this budget.
 Today's budget, the third since the outbreak of the war, calls for the most drastic and far-reaching taxes in the history of the country and in- wolves even free trade. Hereafter au- tomobiles, bicycles, motion picture films, clocks, watches, musical instru- ments, plate glass and hats will pay tax of 33 1-3 per cent ad valorem, though as Mir. McKenna explained, the objects of such taxa tion are purely temporary and without regard to a permanent effect on trade," being pri- marily designed to discourage imports and remedy the foreign exchange sit uation.
 Spirits and beer remain untouched by the new schedules. The principal blow fell on incomes, the existing tax not only being increased forty per cent but its scope widered so as to catch workingmen earning as little as $14 weekly. The very wealthy must contribute to the government more than one-third their revenue. The one-cent mail will be abolished entire ly and the weight heretofore carried in the mails for two cents will be re- duced.
 The rate on telegrams, which is 12 cents for twelve words, is increased to IS cents and there IS also to he pro portionate increase in telephone char ges. The sugar tax though lightly increased, will mean only an extra penny per pound burden for the gen. eral public, for the sale of all sugar is now regulated by the royal commis- sion, which will reduce the price to refiners and dealers.
 General dehate on the budget is yet to be held but 1t was apparent that Mr. McKenna's suggestions were received by virtually unanimous house. The chancellor said incidental ly that he would have occasion to call on the country for another war loan.

 Moro progress was said to have h.en made today than on any other tvo pleceding days. An inventory ,f what was accomplished would read .hout as follows. Members of New York so-called pro-German banking bouses will help float the loan. Mu- nitions of war no longer enter into the toDic for discussion. While it cannot ba guaranteed that they will be eX- ,Inded from the loan operation, it Is he present tentative plan to continue having for them by shipments of gold and American securities from London and Paris to New York.
 The size of the loan has been def- nitely agreed to subject to eleventh hour revision It will probably be about yOO,OOQ,OOO. The rotes issued will run about five years.

 Unsettled weather in the central and western belts, and prospects of lower temperatures were accompanied by very .bullish private crop advices. The unsettled and cooler weather was thought by many traders to be in time to affect the showing of the October bureau and the afternoon advance was also promoted by reports of an active spot demand and higher spot markets, October sold up to 11.20c and January to 11.70c during the middle of the afternoon, when the general list show ed net gains of from 35 to 43 points. January showed an advance of $3.35 per bale, as compared with the low level yesterday.

NORMAL CONDITIONS
 CLAIM MAIL RESUMED
Reports from Mexico Where Vil-
 la Predominates are that Con-
 dltlOns are Normal There.- Claim Mail has been Resumed.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Conditions In Mexican territory controlled by
 Villa are rapidly becoming normal according to advices to the state de- partment from American Consul Blocker at Piedras Neigras. Tele- graphic communication which for many months has been paralyzed. is open to Mexico City as we'll as other points. Railroad communication is being rapidly restored according to official advices.
 The dispatch of mails to Mexico City has been resumed according to an announcement from the postoffice department here today and mails from the capital and outlying districts is being forwarded from the border via Laredo Consul Blocker describing conditions at Piedras Neigras, stated that the Carranza administration was extending guarantees to all foreigners and had distributed circulars warning that any molestation of people and their property would result in severe measure of punishment.
 There was no political development here today except for the arrival of General Manuel Chao, recently in the field with Gnral Villa, who joined Roque Gonzales Garza and others, who are anxious to lay their view points before Secretary Lansing and the Pan-American conferees. They will not be received at the state de- partment until the return of the sec retary next week.
 In the meantime the activity of Villa is watched with interest. Ac- cording to official information he has ordered a general withdrawal of his forces from Juarez, the purpose ap- parently being to transfer them to Sonora. The Villa agency here em- phatically contradicted reports that mobilization of Villa troops at Juarez had any sinister aspect with respect to relations with the United States.
 As a precaution, however, acting Secretary Breckenridge of the war de- partment, after a conference with President Wilson, ordered the Seventh infantry and the Fourth field artillery from Galveston to strengthen the garrison at Fl Paso, bringing its full strength to three regiments of infan- try, regiment of cavalry and twenty eight pieces of artillery, a total of about 1000 men.
 In the district east and west of FL Paso Major General Funston has in all about 14.000 men, while in the vi cinitv of Brownsville he has 5000 men. Officials here do not anticipate any lawlessness or outbreaks in or near Fl Paso but in view of the fact that Villas forces were reported to be breaking up into small bands, border raids were considered not unlikely to occur.
 General Villa, it is understood, in- tends to concentrate his men in So- noro and wage vigorous warfare against General Gales, the Carranza commander.

THE GREAT WHITE WAY.
Formal Opening Occurred Moaday Night
and Witnessed BY a Large Crowd.

High Point is proud of her white
way as was evidenced by the large
crowds on the streets Monday night
to see for the first time, the SOO
lights encased in large white globes
respond to the magic touch OF cleo
tricity and shed their soft mellow
light on the main thoroughfare.
There was no scheduled program of
pomp and splendor to usher in this
new innovation which stands as a
pleasing monument to the progress
sive spirit OF High Point and shows
the stranger who tarries in our city
or passes at night on the trains that
we believe in letting our city be
shown up to the best advantage
possible. 1t means much to High
Point, much for High Point, besides
the little expense and the nice show,
makes one and all feel like it is
good to be in a town that believes
in doing things.
When all the old wooden poles
are taken down and nothing but the
few iron ones remain Main street
will look 100 per cent better in
every way and this work is being
accomplished as rapidly as human
hands can do it.
