Huron, s. D., with a temperature Of
100 degrees and Kansas City and st.
Louis with SO degrees were the only
places in the west that had anything
on Fargo yesterday in the way of heat
It was just four degrees cooler in
Fargo than the hottest point In the
west. The official reading at four
o'clock in the afternoon gave the tenn
perature at 95.3, or one-tenth of de-
gree more than for the corresponding
hour on the previous day.
Edmonton was the coolest point in
the west with an official reading of u
degrees. Other cities with tempera-
lures corresponding with the Fargo
reading were Bismarck, Devils Lake,
st. Paul, Winnipeg, Chicago and
Omaha.
A respite from the heat wave came
this morning with a refreshing breeze
from the northwest. Partly cloudy
and somewhat warmer tonight was the
forecast for today with the promise OF
fair weather for the Sunday autoists
who contemplate a trip to the lakes.
Most Of the professional offices
closed their doors shortly after !
o'clock this afternoon. The greatest
procession Of automobiles Of the sea-
son was seen bound for the lake re-
gion. An attraction Of special interest
at Detroit is the Elks' picnic and good
time festival given by the Detroit Elks.
Visiting members were present from
Fergus Falls, Fargo and Crookston.

peared here, did not mention anything
about any advance in the price Of raw
materials or shortage in same, but by
the last part of the report it appears
to be so. thought a little informa-

1 used to-live in the Ninth district
Cof Minnesota), and knew you from
there, SO got the idea that you wanted
to know more than was in that report
One of the largest print paper mills in
the country is, as you are aware, To-
Gated here. There does not seem to
be any shortage in pulp wood (sprllce)
here, which wood, by the way, is
claimed to be the most satisfactory Of
all woods for print paper. The COM
pany paid last winter Sc per double
cord; that is, So per 12S cubic feet
which is a single cord; this on river
landings in the county. On their own
railroads, also in the county, loaded on
cars, they paid 81, or $3.50 per single
cord. On the railroads where they had
a little competition, they paid SO, or
$3.50 per single cord. AS you will no.
tice, the highest price paid is not more
than is charged for stovewood in town,
while the lower price does hardly even
pay for the labor, and besides, it is
charged by homesteaders who have
been trying to make a living here, that
in scaling up to one-third IL docked
for one reason or another.
In the light Of present paper prices
it is unbelievable that such q price
could be paid to owners Of spruce
when years ago Wisconsin companies
paid us as high as $14 per double cord
right here in what is now Koochiching
county. This information is given to
show how hard it is to deal with cor
porations when our government de-
partments will not or cannot give all
the facts pertaining to certain ques-
tions important in applying a remedy
for fundamental wrongs. Should this
be of any benefit, you are welcome
to it; if not cast it in the waste bas-
ket.
Very respectfully,

$56,00O Receipts
of State Fair Held
in Fargo Last Week

The success Of the North Dakota
state fair for 1915 was shown this af-
ternoon when the total receipts for
the six days was given as $4,000,
which ,smashes all state fair receipts
in the history of the North Dakota
State Fair association of Fargo. 1t
was stated that these figures surpass
those Of the 1919 North Dakota state
fair, held in Fargo, by at least $4,000.
Expenses Proportionately Larger.
Obligations for the state fair will
be paid next week, and when the dis
bursements have been checked UP and
the report submitted at the annual
meeting, it is expected that the North
Dakota State Fair association will be
able to show a profit. While the at
tendance and the receipts were the
largest in the history of the associa-
ton, it is also to be taken into con-
sideration that the expenses were
proportionately larger. The attractions
were heavy expenses which the asso-
citation had to meet.
Attendance About $4,000.
While no official figures We're OBJ
tainable in regard to the attendance,

dent OF the North Dakota State Fair

Springfield, No.. July 2e.-Three
bombs which were exploded be-
meath the floor of The Menace
publishing plant at Aurora, Mo-,
at 4: IS this morning, slightly dam
aged the plant and set fire to a
mass Of copies of The Menace, an
anti CATHOLIC publication, just off
the press. The flames were soon
extinauished. =. ...
From the location of the explosions
1t is believed. attempts were made to
destroy all the publishing company's
presses.
This weeks issue Of the Menace,
dated Aug. 5, carried several election
articles. It was customary to start the
presses Saturday but in the effort to
defeat a candidate for governor in the
state Of Missouri, the publication was
printed and mailed out Friday.

Congressman Halvor Steenerson of
the Ninth Minnesota district, who can
always be depended upon TO take an
interest in any question concerning
the rights Of the public against cor
porate injustice, has been securing in
formation regarding the rising cost of
print paper Z.
Several days ago Mr.. Steenerson re-
ceived a letter from Swan Strand, a
homestead settler in northern Mime
sofa, whose postoffice address is 1116
Seventh street. International Falls,
Mimi, relative to the prices of print
paper and the prices paid to the set
tiers for their (spruce) pulp wood, and
showing that q. previous investigation
and report on the paper situation
which had been made by government
officials had failed of a full account OF
the true situation. Mr.. Steenerson re-
ferred Mr.. Strands letter to the secre-
tary of commerce who has returned 1t
with the information that the federal
trade commission is at the present
time engaged in a further investiga-
tion Of the paper situation" and sug-
gesting that "Mr. Strands letter ccn-
tains just the kind of information that
the commission would be very glad to
utilize in connection herewith" Ac-
cordingly, Mr.. Steenerson has trans
mitted the whole correspondence to
the federal trade commission for con-
sideration and further report.
In behalf Of the settlers along the
Rainy river and the Lake of the
Woods, Mr.. Steenerson protests that
this paper monopoly is permitted to
charge the consumers of paper higher
prices and at the same time reduce
the price paid to the poor settlers for
pulp wood.

Officials Return From Forks.
Loud in their praise for the Grand
Forks county fair which comes to a

Sam Crabbe, general superintendent
Of the livestock division; c. o. Smith.
president of the North Dakota State
Fair association; c. A. Nash, secre-
tary, and H. E. MacRoberts, who was
in charge Of the concession depart
ment.a The trip was made in Sam
Crabbe's machine. The men expressed
themselves as we'll pleased with the
attractions which the Grand Forks as
sociation has booked, and spoke well
of the attendance yesterday, which
was one Of the big days of the week.
Much; interest, 1t was said, was mani
tested there in the automobile races,
