CROPS BETTER
THAN EXPECTED
Less Grain Than Last Year
But Prices Will Offset
Shortage.

Bismarck, July 10.--While the Inn
preston is current that the July sum-
mary of the United State Bureau Of
crop estimates is more optimistic than
conditions warrant, there a been a
marked improvement in crop pros
Bounttful rains have fallen in prac-
tically every part Of the state. In the
Northern tier of counties the down
pour in certain sections was the heav-
lest In history. Thousands Of wheat
fields that had been given up as a
total loss have been revived. Hay
has made a. marked recovery, and a
more cheerful sentiment is apparent
generally. The July forecast for
of wheat is more than equivalent to
the bumper $780, 900, 900 bushel crop
harvested in 1915, when it Is recalled
that the crop two years ago sold for
we'll under a dollar while current
prices in this state are $1.85. The
same holds true OF q prospective yield
Of 1~2,400,000 bushels Of cor for
i$1.25, as compared with 70 cents for
1916's 13,515,000 bushels. The oats
forecast Of 65,700,0 900 bushels is high,
but the farmer can stand for a short
age with oats selling at IS cents as
compared with 81 cents in 1915.
North Dakote's potato crop, estimated
at $4,000 bushels will be by far the
largest in It's history, and present
prices are $2.4s as compared with
S1.02 a year ago, when the state har-
vested 6,976,00O bushels. There is by
far more rye acreage than ever before,
and while winter rye is generally
short, the July estimate gives he
state 100000 bushels as compared
with ~4,45b,oo0 in 1916. and prices
HIGHER than a year ago.

MUST GET
LICENSES FOR 1917

Bismarck, N. D., July '10.-There
are 1000 taglees automobiles in North
Dakota, Secretary Of State Hall de-
clared yesterday morning.
In the Red River Valley, that Sec
ton OF the state clamori1g most
strenuously for state and federal aid
in highway building, 900 automobile
owners are driving cars bearing MIN
nesota tags, as q means Of cheating
the highway fund out Of $3.50 On n
,cense fees for the next three Yeas.
North Dakota has registered to date
$4,000 cars. The actual number Of
machines in the state is estimated at
$4,000.
"If some Of those people living in
the border counties in the eastern
part of the state do not come through
soon, the Minot cleanup will not be
IN 1T with what will happen to them"
said Mr.. He'll. we need every pen
ny we can get to improve our high
ways. We want good roads not only
for these same automobtlists to enjoy.
but to aid the farmer next fall in
marketing his crops. The road fund
is entitled to this money; the county
authorities r at least aroused, and
we intend to show these automobile
are not to be ignored"
Pasteboard licenses are the latest
graft foisted on the state. They are
exact duplicates Of the metal tags,
but printed on heavy cardboard.
From a short distance the sham can
not be detected. "A favorite practice
in Fargo is said to be the use Of a
License applied for tag. That will
nc work either. asserts Hall

atty for Murder by Los
ing Both Feet.

Dawson, N. D., July 10.-With the
opening of the summer term Of the
district court here today, Kidder
county will witness its first murder
trial since North Dakota became a
state in 1889. Cleon Nash, accused
Of the murder of Clarence Hicks, will
be tried before a jury, the first en-
parchment of its kind in the county's
history. The last murder ase in the
county was in the late sos before
North Dakota was a state although
there have been several murders, the
guilty parties paying h penalty
without the formally Of a trial.
The present case is n Of much
local interest. Robinson was muir
dered at his home near here, it Is al
hobbies into court he will already
have paid a evere penalty for his al
legged crime as both Of his feet have
been atnputated. 1t is said he wand
cred for days on the storm-swept
plains, battering against binding
billiards. and almost dead from ia
tigue and hunger.
He became lost and for many hours
walked blindly in a circle, finally find
ing himself only a short distance from
the Hicks farm, the soene of the
murder. BY day he slept in isolated
haystacks and at night ventured out
to forage food,
At length, his body numb with cold
and almost dead from hunger, he
fought his way into Dawson where he
was given all possible medical atten-
ton and then hurried to a Bismarck
hospital. There both Of his feet were
al~nputated.
It was not until March IL that he
wa able to be moved to the county
jail here. Prison officials assert he
has been a model prisoner.
