FORT DADE HAS Been
CLOSED TO VISITORS
ORDER WILL PREVENT INSPEC-
TON BY VISITORS NOW
IN THIS SECTION

st. Petersburg, Feb. 9.-The first
actual effect of the strained relations
of the United States with Germany
felt in st. Petersburg is the withdraw
al of the privilege of visiting Fort
Dade, a point which has been OF much
interest to visitors here. A. T. Roberts,
owner of the yacht Daisy, who held a
permit for landing visitors at the fort
two days each week, was Wednesday
night advised by Major Murphy that
the privilege would be necessarily
withdrawn.
This action was expected by Mr..
Roberts after publication in The In
dependent of the order which closed
navy yards and army posts to visit
ors. This followed closely on the
break of diplomatic relations with
Germany. 1t will be recalled also that
visitors have been excluded from the
monitor Tallahassee and the X series
of U-boats now lying at the Mallory
line piers in Tampa.
The yacht Daisy has made regular
trips to Fort Dade Wednesdays and
Sundays. The Wednesday trip will be
absorbed in request for charters for

FRAZIER ISSUES
AN ORDER TO
REMOVE SHAW

(. Minot, N. D., Aug. 2y.-A long and
persistent effort to remove w. S. Shaw
president of the city commission, has
at last resulted in an order being is
sued by Governor Frazier, on review
ing a complaint filed by Superinten-
dent F. l.. Watkins Of the State j
forcement league, directing such re-
moval proceedings.
1t is not known what charges have
been made against Mr.. Shaw in the
removal proceedings. The popular be-
lief is that had he been gui'
violations he would have been arrest
ed during the recent vice raids. Mr..
Watkins and Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Dan v. Brennan have been in the
city for some time working out de-
tails.
The fight which this action will in
cur promises to be a long one. Mr..
Shaw was elected last spring after the
bitterest vght in the history of cit
politics, defeating A. Upton by a large
majority. Since the election those
parties that opposed Mr.. Shaw have
tried to block him at every turn. Els.
pecially have they opposed the pro-
posed bonding of the city to the ex-
tent of $1S5,000. At a special cleo
ton a majority voted in favor of this
bond, but the faction opposing MI.
Shaw have held up the bonding by
an injunction suit which is now be-
fore the local district court.

OFFICIALS ORDER
WAR HARNESS

In a conversation with MI. Grid
land, foreman of Pillsbury's harness
shop in this city, we We're surprised to
learn of the magnitude of at least one
item of the United States preparation
for war. Harness for the artillery,
harness for the commmisary, harness
for the Red Cross and a dozen other
departments, as we'll as the saddlery
for the cavalry and shoes for the SOL
diers is making the harness manufac-
turers make special preparation to
take care of the government orders.
To give more prompt and better gel
vice to the government all the leading
manufacturers of the United States
have gotten together and appointed
one man, Mr.. Givens Of st. Paul, to
represent them. In other words, to
handle the work promptly they have
all resolved themselves into one large
company, MI. Givens acting as the
President who takes the orders from
the government and then apportions
them to various firms in lots accord
to the size of the plant. To guard
against public censure in this matter
a price for each harness according to
the specifications is made the govern
ment, and with the price when sub
mitted is a tabulated list showing the
exact cost of the leather entering into
its manufactureatogether with the la
Dor and the small margin of profit.
Government experts verify this figure
and if found satisfactory the contract
is awarded. To insure the manufac-
turer a supply of leather to fill these
contracts, 65 per cent of the harness
leather supply has been contracted
for. What the government officials
termed zone small contract" was let
last week for cavalry saddles and
brides in the manufacture of which
there will enter the hides of 100000
head Of cattle.

Park River banks say that their
district is situated on the dividing line
between good and poor crops, but they
argee in expecting that the farmers
will receive 'as much money as we
ever had', because of the high prices
prevailing.
Around Grafton the crop conditions
are characterized as quite fair, and in
some instances it is even said that
crops are very good and will bring big
money TO the farmer.
Hoople reports that the crop is pref
ty good and Conway says it will be
about SO per cent of the normal But
oats in that district are poor.
Near Edinburg the crop is very
spotted, but it is said that if the pres
ent prices hold, the crop will not, look
ed at as a money bringer, be worse
than last year.
Fairdale lives up to it's name and
reputation in reporting that, taken as
a whole, conditions are fair, and For
est River farmers say that the crop
is "fair to good"
Taken all in all, the above reports,
while covering. only IL Of North Da-
kota's SO counties, appear to indicate
that the farmers of this state have
every reason to expect good results
from their crops, and that they must
feel considerably elated when they re-
member the drought which earlier in
the season threatened to seriously di-
minish the crop.

No Shortage Of Rifles.

There is no shortage of rifles for the

1t was said officially at the wal de-
partment that there were enough rifles
in the country to equip every man
whose duties require him to carry one.
but that the difficulty was to find the
rifles owing to the desire of army and

weapons. available in case of emer-

LAKOTA PEOPLE AROUSED BY
SEVERAL MYSTERIOUS BLAZ-

In a fire on the Fritch and Murphy
fam, ten miles south of Lakota which
destroyed a large barn, one man whose

cure some clothing. Gunderson es-
capped with burns about the neck and
arms, but the other man was caught
and burned to death. The fire was
noticed in the center of the barn about
6 o'clock Friday evening.
An investigation was made to as
certain the origin of the blaze, and the
results lead Mr.. Erich to believe that

that no n was smoking at the time
the fire was discovered.
The barn was valued at over $4,000
and "a insured for $1,000. The IS
horses represented a value of nearly
