ENGLAND WANTS ALL
OF CANADA'S CROP

Duluth, MINI, July 14.-A report
emanating from Montreal to the effect
that Canada's entire seasons crop of
wheat and oats will be taken over by
the British government was current
on the Duluth board of trade late yes
terday.
1t is said that the present trip of
Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian pre-
mier, to London was made with view
to discussing prices and terms to gov
ern the transaction with members of
the British government. This action
is said to have been proposed on &C.
count of the inability to force the
Dardanelles and the consequent in
definite holding up of the Russian
crops from the market.
Local grain men conceded that this
action on the part of the British gov
eminent would have an exceedingly
bearish effect on the American grain
markets through placing restriction
upon exports until such time as the
Canadian supplies should have been
distributed.

THEY saw THE
CYCLONE HIT

The workmen of the Valley City
Plumbing & Heating Co. returned
Wednesday evening from the Nolti-
mier consolidated school building,
where they have been busy for almost
two weeks past installing the plumb
ing and the heating plant. They re-
port that the building will be first
class building in every respect and
very well arranged for school pur-
poses.
The boys had a good view of the
cyclone which last Saturday struck
east of the school house, destroying
building and killing a number Of pigs
on the farm of Mrs. Sophia Ayers.
They report that it was the regulation
funnel shape and that it struck twice.
It was four miles east of the school
house, but could be plainly seen. They
say that after striking the second time
it rose into the air and gradually dis
appeared, else the damage done would
have been considerably greater.

PROSPECT Il! IN WHEAT
IS A BILLION BUSHELS

Washington, July 14.-Prospects for
billion bushel wheat crop continue to
grow during the week ended yesterday
Spring wheat had the most favorable
week of the season over much of the
belt and the outlook everywhere is
most promising. The national and
crop bulletin announced today that
winter wheat, however, had unfavor-
able weather and harvesting had been
delayed in the important producing
section by rain, much ripe wheat be-
ing still uncut. In southern portions
of the belt and Pacific coast states
harvesting is progressing satisfactor-
lily and good yields are reported.
Corn was favored with somewhat
better conditions than in preceding
weeks, but is being retarded in the
more northern portions of the belt.
Elsewhere, however, it made more rap
id growth and is reported tasseling as
far north as Central Kansas, with
prospects of an excellent crop, largely
assured further south.
Rain is delaying harvesting of oats
in some sections and promising too
heavy growth and rust in others, but
on the whole, the crop outlook con,
tinues excellent. - r.. y" E~a

DAZEY'S new HOTEL IS
PROGRESSING NICELY

Darcy Commercial: Work is being
rushed on the new hotel building by
the masons and their helpers this
week and the structure is already far
enough along to let the people see that
our little town is soon to have one of
the best buildings 70 accommodate
the travelling public that can be found
in this section of the state.
The building is being constructed of
concrete blocks with brick front. 1t
is 50x70 feet and will be two stories
with basement. There will be IA
bed rooms, large parlor and large
room fitted up for barber shop The
building will be steam heated and
modern in every respect. The rooms
will be fitted out with new furniture
and fixtures throughout, and the total
cost when completed will be about
$4,000. Mr.. Kelly states that he ex.
poets to have the building ready for
occupancy about Sept. 1.
One of the interesting facts con.
nected with the building of the new no.
tel is that it was not necessary to go
out of town to find an architect to draw
the plans. Karl Sundahl, the local car.
penter and contractor, drew the plans
and will superintend the entire con.
struction Of the building.

RAPELJE FINDS
. CROPS ARE GOOD

Bismarck, July IA. NJ. Rapelje
general manager of the Northern Paci
fic railroad, accompanied by Genera
Superintendent C. l.. Nicols of St. Pau
and Division Superintendent w. B
Berner of jamestown, arrived in Bis
marck on a special train last evening
after tour of inspection over a por
ton of the Northern Pacific road.
Mr.. Rapelje was seen for few min
utes last evening, and was greatly en-
Unused over crop conditions through
out the state. He said: "The state
never looked better than it does today
and if weather conditions from now on
are at all favorable, I look for one of
the biggest bumper crops North Dako.
ia farmers ever harvested"
The railroad officials special went
through the Leeds, Turtle Lake and
Wilton districts yesterday, and arriv.
ed in Bismarck over the 500 Line.
Conditions are much the same through
out the state, according to Mr.. Rapelje,
who has better opportunity to come
in contact with actual conditions than
any man in the state. The corn crop
has been little backward this season,
on account of the cold weather, but
what hindered the corn crop was the
best thing in the world for practically
every other crop in the state.
The above mentioned officials of
the Northern Pacific, together with C.
E. Dixie, general superintendent of
the Chicago and Northwestern road,
will have a conference here Friday
with the state railroad commission,
relative to the construction of a de-
pot at Cakes.
Tentative plans have been laid for
entertaining the railway officials
when they return mere Friday. Just
what the nature of the entertainment
will be cannot be stated as yet, but
a luncheon for the visiting officiale
and city business men is the most
likely plan.
Mr.. Rapelje and Mr.. Nichols were
the guests of Senator and Mrs. E. A..
Hughes while in the city last even
ing. They were entertained at the
Country club.

TOOK A JURY 48 MINUTES
T0PR0N0UNCE THAW Sane

New York, July Hillary Kendall
Thaw was today declared sane by the
jury which has for nearly three weeks
listened to the testimony given in the
supreme court here before Justice
Hendrck. Forty-eight minutes were
consumed, and two ballots were taken
In reaching the verdict. Judge Hen
drick will on Friday morning announce
whether the commitment upon which
Thaw has been incarcerated in the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan will be vacated. 1t was
at the end of the day and after the
addresses by the counsel and the
charge of the justice that the jury re-
tired.
While the II men were celebrating,
the crowd in the courtroom and about
the courthouse, was augmented by
scores of people who believed that the
verdict would be quickly found.
Shortly befor clock the bailiff
came from the jury room and Inform
ed the judge that a verdict had been
reached.
The doors of the courtroom were
Immediately locked and the judge
warned the hundreds of spectators
chat any demonstration on their part
would be met with severe punishment.
Then the jury came in, and as the
verdict was read by the clerk several
of the persons stood up in front of
their seats.
The courtroom hummed like a dy-
1iamo, and Judge Hendricks dozen at
PENDANTS raped for order. In the
meantime Thaw, who until the YER
dict was read, sat at his counsel's ia
BILE with his chin resting in his hand
kerchief, then turned around and
quickly grasped the hand of several
of his counsel.
He then rushed over to his mother,
who sat a short distance from him,
and throwing his arms around her
neck, kissed her twice.
Judge Hendrick then set II o'clock |
tomorrow as the time when he will |
receive briefs and hear arguments in |
his chambers on the motion of ThaW's '
counsel to dismiss the commitment
signed by Justice Bowling and fol- I
lowing the verdict Of not guilty on the
ground of insanity which was returned |
by the jury at Thaw's second trial for
the murder of Stanford White in
Madison Square garden.
AS soon as the jury was dismissed |
by the court, Thaw crossed over to
the box and shook hands warmly with |
each man. His mother followed him |
and did the same. Both showed tears !
Il want to thank you, each one of |
you, for all you have DONE" said Mrs. |
Thaw. 1t was with great difficulty |
that the court attendants and the de-
putty sheriffs prevented scores of men
and women from dashing to Thaw |
and congratulating him.
