Reports Excellent Crops in All
Counties Visited and Big
Yields
TAKES IN BERTHOLD
FAIR DURING TRIP
Indians Come to Fair in Auto
mobiles Instead of on Their
Ponies

Capt. l. p. Baker, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Orville Green, Syracuse,
N. Y, and his son, Frayne Baker, re-
turned yesterday from a 4OO-mile auto
tour through Mercer, Dunn, Mclean,
Mountrail and Kidder counties.
Excellent crops practically oil has
vested were reported. There was lit
tie threshing done, but good yields
were reported, although in a few sec
tions there were slight traces of rust.
Capt. Baker states that he neves
saw the country look better and there
is a general feeling of optimism on
all sides. Each locality is boosting it's
farm lands and it is believed that
this will result in attracting consid-
cradle immigration for this section OF
the state.
While on the trip, Capt. Baker put
in some time stirring up interest in
the exposition to be held at Bismarck
next month. The moving pictures
taken in the 2arious sections have
aroused intense interest end large
crowds are expected from sections
where farm and city scenes were tax

Visit Berthold.
On his way home Capt. Baker visit
ed the Berthold Indian fair at Elbo-
woods. There were more than thirty
automobiles owned by Indians parked
at the fair grounds. Joseph Packi-
neau; one of the prominent Indian
leaders, was there with his family in
a new $1,000 latest model automobile.

Some fields as large as 500 acres

The prohibition wave cost Uncle

cOnsin alone. ~. ~, -: q
The nationwide agitation for pro-
hibition and the fact that SO. many
states already have prohibited the
sale of intoxicating liquors within
their boundaries, cost :the government
last year<over $20,000,0o0, according
to reports from Washington. :
Records of the two internal revenue
districts of Wisconsin show that the
income the government derives from
the manufacture of. spirits and fer
mented liquors has fallen off consid-
erably. 1t is only the additional 3S-
1-3 per cent war tax on beer and
the increased tax on spirits, in effect
since Oct. %, 1914, that has kept the
income near to that of former years
Despite the added war emergency
tax on spirits, the revenue from this
source fell off $150,O00 in 1915 COM
pared with the 1914 revenue collec-
tions. The 1915 collections from this
source were $2;429,529. This is for the
fiscal year ending July 1, 1915.
The revenues from the manufacture
of beer in the eastern district of Wis
consin, for the fiscal year ending in
1915. were $5,o13,s7s. During eight
months of this year the government
collected a tax Of $3.50 instead Of the
regular 81 tax Despite this added
tax of 33 1-3 per cent, the increase in
the income from this source was only
100000 out of a total income from
beer of $5,013,S73.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 13.-New
Orleans will build it's own electric

With money in sight and a highly
trained expert working on the speci-

leans has announced that it was ready
to proceed with it's own. system of
current That will be the course of
the city commission council in the
next few weeks, if private corpora
tions that might seek to secure fran
chises and contracts for lighting do
not "come clean" with an agreement
to base rates substantially on the cost
of the public service, plus reasonable
interest on the actual investment.

Commissioner of Public Property
E. E. Lafeye, asserts that bond issue,
big enough to pay for building an
adequate public plant. even up to a
cost of $5,000,000, can be advantage
ously sold. The financing of the en-
terprise, he stated. is assured. Fred
erick w. Ballard, skilled electric light
man Of Cleveland, O., has been en-
gagged to make a detailed survey and
prepare plans and specifications for
the municipal plant to cover every bit
Of New Orleans on both sides of the
river.
The city commission council and
Ballard, after a short but dependable
survey, have reached the conclusion
that current for residence lighting
and for commercial lighting and
power can be manufactured, distri-
buted and sold for S cents a. kilowatt
hour, with allowance for reasonable
profit. A private corporation, it is
understood, will have to approach this
figure before it's proposals will re-

Federal District Attorney is
. Drawing Up Indictments
In Eastland Case.
REDFIELD BOARD FAILS TO
FIX BLAME FOR ACCIDENT
Recommended Changes In Pres
ent Law Governing 1nspec-
tion Service.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-At least six
persons will be indicted by the fed
eral grand jury investigating the East
land disaster. United States District
Attorney Clyne, so reported about the
federal building, has drawn up the
indictments. The bills were returned
when the jury met Tuesday.
These, included officers of the East
land, officials of the St. Joseph Chi
cago Steamship company, and Uni
ted States steamboat inspectors.
Secretary of Commerce William C.
Redfield's investigation of the East
land disaster ended a week ago.
Whether it will be resumed de-
pends upon the action of the federal
grand jury and the nature of it's re-
turn before Judge Lands.
The Redfield board issued a pre-
liminary report which failed to fix
blame for the disaster and gave no
opinions as to what agencies caused
the Eastland to capsize.
The report stated that adjournment
was taken in obedience to the order
grand jury witnesses from testifying
regarding the Eastland case before
any other investigating body.
Law Changes Urged.
It urged Redfield to transmit to
President Wilson and congress a num-
Der of recommendations for changes
in existing laws governing the inspec-
ton service.
That there shall be created a
board Of naval architects whose duty
it shall be to pass upon plans and
specifications of steam merchant ves-
sells over 100 tons burden.
That no steam merchant vessel Of
over 100 tons shall be certified for
service until it's plans and specifica-
tions shall have been approved by
the board, nor until it's safety, sea-
worthiness, and stability have been
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
said board.
That methods shall be provided
whereby findings of local inspectors
may be appealed.
That whenever the passenger car
rying capacity of a. vessel is increased
by local inspectors the increase must
be approved in writing by the super
vising inspector.
That any alterations of original
plans and specifications affecting. sta
bil1ty, seaworthiness, and safety must
