According to announcement made yesterday by the mana cement of the Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona mining compan- ies. the average price of copper during May was lS5 5O6 cents per pound. On this basis the wages paid at the smelt- CTS will be increased this month to the rate for copper between IS and l9 cents. which means more substantial prosperity for Douglas.
 Under this schedule the lowest wage paid to any person working at the shelter will be sl.s5 per day, while the high wage paid to day workers will be s6 s5 per day Salaries for the month will be graduated between the two extremes mentioned
 Il had been generally anticipated .h,t the wage rate would be increased this month, but that II wonid jump from the rate for Is 10 l1 cents 10 that of from IS to l9 cents was not con u,ectred The rate of pay for cop per between F and IS cents was en- tireIy skipped.

Many farmers who have been fear
full that their fields Of rye may have
suffered from the frost of some weeks
ago, will be interested in letter re-
ceived by Fred J. Whitman from Prof.
H. l.. Bolley, botanist, from the state
agricultural college. Mr.. Whitman
sent samples from an early field of rye
on the James Scofield farm. and lat
er sample from his own farm, where
John Christensen resides. Mr.. Boil
ley writes:
"The sample submitted by you is
rather immature and difficult for US
to say for certain, but we can see no
signs Of injury as yet. The stamens
seem to be of proper color and the
young pistils do not appear to be in
jured. In the tied sample. not over 10
per cent of the flowers now seem to be
dead. We recommend leaving such a
crop stand, Think it will develop all

MANDAN ENTERTAIN
Ed PRESS GANG
CONVENTION WAS BIG
SUCCESS-RIDE ON MISSOU.
RI-VISIT TO CUSTER'S CAMP.
ING GROUNDS, AND A PAVE
MENT DANCE.

The summer press convention was
held at Mandan Friday and Saturday,
fully hundred publishers and their
ladies, from all sections of the state
attending.
The program dealt with circulation
in it's various phases and was handled
cleverly.
The summer convention is more of
an outing than anything else and the
hospitable people of Mandan surely
showed the press boys and girls fine
time.
The banquet Friday evening was one
of the most enjoyable functions we
have ever attended. At it's conclu-
sion, Judge Hanley took charge of the
program and he made big hit as
toastmaster. President Richter, At
torney Sullivan, Hon. Leslie Simpson,
Congressman Norton and others re-
sponded to taosts.
Following this event, the guests and
townspeople adjourned to the pave
ment where an outdoor dance was en-
loyed for an hour. The pavement had
Seen washed clean and the affair was
as enjoyable as it was unique. The
dancers later went to the opera house.
The following day a boat ride was
enjoyed on the Missouri in the Scarab
with Captains Marsh and Baker in
charge. A trip eight miles up the riv-
er and back was made The captains
addressed the visitors, giving some in
teresting historical facts about early
navigation on the Missouri.
A score or more of autos carried the
| J-if 1,,t 10 L X
and his soldiers camped during the
winter, just prior to their departure
for Montana where the brave warrior
and so many of his men met death at
the bands of the savages The spot
is located about five miles south of
Mandan along the Missouri in a very
picturesque place. A row of trees
marks the camp ground. The state
should buy these grounds for a park.
Returning, the visitors were taken
to the government experimental farm
close to the city, comprising 1880 acres
The government is growing ornament
al ami fruit trees and the smaller
fruit bushes and will ultimately have
from fifty to sixty millions of them
for distribution annually in the state
of North Dakota and Montana. 1t is al
so testing grains and grasses and will
furnish seed to the farmers in the
above named states. One section is
being used to test the value of the
range. The work was explained by
one of the men in charge.
We were hurried to the state train
ing school. This institution has
beautiful location about one mile from
the city and in the valley, with pictur-
esque bluffs as background. There
are four buildings, all of cement
blocks, built by the boys of the insti-
tuition. The boys building has just
been completed and was dedicated on
June "a. 1t will be an exceedingly
fine home. The grounds surrounding
the buildings comprise so acres and
are utilized for vegetable production
and showed careful work. The dairy
herd is made up of "a full blood Hol-
stems, not few of them being prize
mixers. 1t is easy to see that with
48O acres comprising the farm land,
that in few years this institution will
produce all that it consumes in the
way of farm and garden products.
