Coffee Market

New York, May S.--The market for coffee futures was less active today. The European selling which had been considered largely responsible for de- clines earlier in the week was not in evidence, however, and prices ruled generally steady on a moderate de- mand. After opening at an advance of to points, the active months sold about to 9 points net higher with July selling at S.35c and December lat S.57c. Firmness in Brazil probably contributed to this advance but busi- ness was not active enough to suggest any material change of sentiment and part of the advanta, was lost later un- der realizing, with the close of to 5 points net higher. Sales, 13,750; May, S.21c; June, S.26c; July, sale; August, S.S5c; September, S.4Oc; October, S.44c; November, SAC; December, S.53c; January, S.58c; February, S.6Sc; March, S.69c; April, 3.73c. Spot coffee quiet; Rio Is. 9Ac; Santos As. 105sc. No fresh cost and freight offers were reported, and the market here is said to be so far out of line that shippers are send- ing comparatively few cables. The of :. ftcial cables reported on advance of 150 reis in Santos, while Rio and the rate of Rio exchange on London were unchanged. Rio reported clearance of 28,000 bags for New, Orleans. Brazil ian port receipts, 1S,o00; Jundiahy. 5000.

Avery's Letter

 ket today, started his letter off by saying: Strikes. walkouts, lockouts, German troubles, and Mexican trou- hles.'
 All of these troubles influenced the stock market today and found reflec- tion in the cotton market, inasmuch as the days gossip reported Wall street as being heavy sellers of cotton.
 Waters Schill and the professional ele- ment generally were also sellers all
 day, especially the former. In spite
 of all the pressure and all the trou
 bles above enumerated. the market
 closed at about 12 points decline from
 the high, which. all things considered, shows very steady market.
 My experience is that frequent re-
 actions of the character seen today
 keeps technical conditions healthy, and
 puts the market in shape to advance
 upon the clearing away of the nu merous things which are against the market most of which are influences we have had with us for sometime, and have about spent their force as market
 factors, except among the more timid spectators.
 brought points decline in spots, de- mand was good at most points. The weekly weather report was bull |lish rains over night were heavy in the middle belt and the western belt forecast indicated cooler weather. Dam age from cut worms was spoken of in Arkansas and Mississippi. The rains in the eastern belt were very beneficial and as such were bear fish.
 Well Brothers of Montgomery acre. age report, to 2 per cent increase. Clement Curtis & Co.. Chicago, acre lage report, per cent increase. Advise confident purchases on these setbacks. c. F. AVERY.

Sugar Market

New York, May 3.-The local market for raw sugar was strong and 1sc higher, making new high records on active buy ing by both operators and refiners. The demand was not the result of any in- creased business in refined but seemed to be due more to the keen competition dis played by exporters in the raw market ill Cuba. Reports that Great Britain was a heavy buyer of raws in Cubas at SC f. o. b. seemed to be the signal for a rush for supplies by operators, followed later by an increased inquiry from re- liners Sales were reported of over LOCO bags of Cubas to operators late on Tues day for prompt, May and June shipment at 5asc to 514c cost and freight.

Successful Social

The ladies of the Synod Lutheran
church gave delightful basket social
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. M. J..
Ryhn Friday evening. The social
was to have been held at the Larson
residence but was transferred to the
Ryhn home because of illness. A
large crowd came out and there was
no confusion regarding the meeting
place.
The evening was spent in various
pleasant ways preceding and following
a musical program. Among the ap-
preciated numbers were songs by Miss
Edna Hanson and piano duet by Mrs.
B. H. Betters and Miss Adelia
Sather. Peter Peterson was all
set for speech but forgot to make
his intentions known and so he will
deliver his talk at some future gather
ing. The baskets were sold at auc-
tion, and there were more than
enough to go around.
The social was financial as we'll
as social success. The proceeds
amounted to $3O.65.

Lucky Ones Go West

Filings for land drawn in the Fort
Berthold opening last November be-
gan this week and many from Morris
who were fortunate in securing tracts
are preparing to so out. The first
filing was made Monday morning
when Chas. Porter, of Anoka, this
state, entered his claim for a town.
site. Hundreds of people are tramp
ing over the reservation today spott-
ing tracts upon which they have inten-
tions to file.
Lincoln Harvey, a young farmer
near Morris, was the most successful
in the bunch that went from here.
His number was 72. William Carl
son, an electrician at the Morris
electric light plant, secured 462.
Harold Mcdonald, of Hodges, drew
584, and Frank Taplin, of Hancock
had 800. Sam Grove, proprietor of
the Morris hotel, got into the 1900
class but will go out in hopes that
some of those who were under the
700 mark will fail to show up for
filing in which case he may have a
chance. Miss Olga Tenneson, a
Minneapolis stenographer, was the
first woman who drew a number.

WAR IS DECLARED
ON DOGS IN CITY
All Unlicensed Dogs at Largs
After June | will be Round
ed up and Killed

The remaining days of the month
of May are the days of grace for Nor
ris dogdom. After June 1 Chief of
Police Ryan will have the title of
dog catcher conferred upon him and
he proposes to strike fear into the
hearts of dog owners as he spreads
sudden death among the CANNES. The
city commission has ordered all dogs
in Morris to be licensed and tagged
after June 1 and there will be no de-
lay in enforcing the ordinance which
was recently put on the books. The
announcement is received with delight
by those who despise dogs but there
is some small degree of resentment on
the part of those who own these pets.
Monday was the first day upon
which City Manager Siverts began
issuing dog licenses. George Abel
was the first to apply and his little
black and tan will carry license No.
L on its collar. George Manner and
VIM. Brandt appeared soon after
wards to make sure their dogs will
not fall prey to the dog catcher.
Up till today less than a dozen Ii
censes had been issued. One dollar
for each male and three dollars for
each female dog will satisfy Mr..
Siverts, and the money may be paid
directly to him or at the Citizens
bank. Little copper squares with
the license number, year and name
of the city stamped into the metal
are given with each license payment
for male dogs. The tags are made
of aluminium for female dogs.
After the first of next month the
execution of unlicensed dogs will
start and continue till the last dog
has: been dispatched. The method OF
execution will probably be shooting
althe gla there are some who favor
chlorofarm.

HAVE LAST CHANCE
ON MEMORIAL DAY
County Auditor WolIthan will
Accept Petitions for Filing
Presented on May 80

Unless County Auditor WoHthan
receives instructions to the contrary
he will consider May 80, Memorial
day, as the final date for candidates
to file for the primary election.
Auditors in other counties Disagree
as to whether filings may be received
on Decoration day, some holding
that May 20 is the last day candi-
dates may file while others hold May
81 as the final date. They maintain
Decoration day, being legal holiday,
inyalidates any filings made on this
date. According to the primary laws
those candidates who file with the
auditor must have their petitions in
at least twenty days before the pri-
maries, and the twentieth day before
May 80. Mr.. Wollthan says he will
accept filings on that date while
advising candidates to file before to be
sure of avoiding possible complica-
tions.
Candidates for congressional nomin-
ations must file with the secretary of
state at least forty days before the
primary, according to law.
Under the new law the state prim-
aries comes on Monday, the date this
year being Monday, June 10. The
change from Tuesday was made at
the request of commercial travellers
of the state. They urged for some
years on legislatures that the day for
caucus or primary be Monday where
by they might vote on such day af-
ter being at home with their families
Sunday. With the primary on Tues
day it was not feasible for them to
leave home on Monday and return next
day to vote any more than it was
feasible to remain home all day Mon
day in order to be able to vote next
day.
Voters in Stevens county this year
will be called upon to vote for twelve
presidential electors, United States
senator, governor. lieutenant gov
ernor, attorney general, secretary of
state, state treasurer. railroad and
warehouse commissioner, congressman,
justice of supreme court, probate
judge, clerk of court, representative
and three county commissioners.
The commissioners whose terms ex-
pire are O. N. Dohlen, 1st district
John McNally, Jr., 3rd district, and
N. P. Mecklenburg, 4th district.
Friends of Mr.. Dohlen are urging him
to stand for reelection. 1t is un-
derstood the others will also be asked
to make the run. So far there are
no candidates in the field for the com
missioner jobs.
