ments can be depended upon. Lumber for band
stand has been promised, work pledged for building

fer to plow and prepare the ground for seeding to
grass. Other things needed, and with the end in
view of learning how much will be given to forward

ness men next week. Trees, shrubbery, a green
lawn and convenient benches, with a band stand in
the center, would make great improvement in the

ion is central and the project one which should ap-
peal to every progressive citizen.

Mr. White. They are waiting the

president and his cabinet which will
dhtermine possibly the possibilities OF
Skipping on the open seas. At present
tl4 buyers must take ther own risks
w4h shippers who can not insure their

Whether the present risk can be re-

safe and easily accessible. There IL

enter the carrying trade and operate

GALVESTON MAY Be
IN CRAVE DANGER

Houston, Tex, Aug. 17.-Fears that
the terrific West Indian hurricane,
which passed through the Yucatan
channels Sunday, would spell a repe-
tition at Galveston of the flood disas-
ter of Sept. s, 1900, were entertained
here when all communication with
the gulf city was severed by a gale
with a velocity ranging from sixty
five to seventy-three miles.
The storm is reported to be increas-
ing steadily in intensity and appar-
emily there was no indication of a
lull.
The Southern Pacific railroad SEM
a train out in an effort to reach Gal
weston. The Galveston causeway still
vas standing, but the force Of the
wind was such that it was almost i'm
possible to get across and the last in
terurban a took nearly an hour to
make the trip because of the high
wind.

RUSSIA HOLDS FATHER OF 10
Mandan Widower Can Be Detained
for Army.

Although Peter Eckroth is a nat,
uralized citizen of the United States
and owns property south of Mandan,
where his ten children live, he is
claimed as a Russian citizen by Rus
sian authorities and cannot return
home.
Eckroth, a widower, went to Russia
a year ago to marry again. He was
in Russia when the war broke out and
was held, as he had failed to have his
passports endorsed by the Russian
consul in New York.
The state department was appealed
to, but Secretary Bryan, then acting,
held that the German-Russian treaty
of 1860 prevailed and that because
Eckroth had not received permission
from the car to become n%aturalized
in the United States could not return
home.
Russian officials say that when
they raise the age limit to fifty years
Eckroth, who is ~forty-seven, will have
to serve in the army.

BLATTNER RESIGNS HIS POST
Superintendent of School for Deaf Is
Going to Oklahoma.

After three years service as super
intendent of the North Dakota school
for deaf at Devils Lake, J. w. Blatt-
ner has accepted a similar position in
the state school of Oklahoma. He
came to Devils Lake from the Texas
school for the deaf, in which he served
for nearly a score of years, prior to
which he was connected with the
schools Of Iowa and Colorado. No in
timation has been made of who will
be elected to succeed Superintendent
B%lattner in the North Dakota school.
1t appears probable that a strong
campaign will be opened by the
friends of former Superintendent D.
F. Bangs, who resigned three years
ago to love to Lincoln, Neb., if he can
be induced to take the place.

EVIDENCE OF RUST DAMAGE
Injury to Grain Is Reported From Sew

Extensively.

The possibility that serious rust
damage has been done to the wheat
crop in several sections of North Da.
kota is being given more attention to.
day than at any time since the reports
began filtering in.
Barnes county, according to these
reports, is affected. Several farms
show damage that will reduce the
yields materially.
c. I. Lee, a we'll known farmer of
the Valley City district and formerly
a crop reporter for the federal depart
ment of agriculture, believes that the
loss or one of his farms is fully 40
per cent. Many other farmers, Lee
says, will show losses of more than
80 per cent.
In Grand Forks county John Fad.
den reports that grain in the Arvilla
district has ripened unnaturally and
that a close inspection of the fields
rust. The Grand Forks County Better
Farming association is out with a
statement to the farmers, advising
them to watch their wheat fields
closely and harvest them as early as
possible to reduce danger of rust or
hail damage.
Around Darlington, in Foster coun-
~, several fields inspected by Oscar
X. LYLE, a crop expert, showed evil
denco of rust damage. Lyle believes
that the gOyernmen estimate of the
crop is greatly exaggerated.
