AT WASHINGTON

/ Hon H. T. Helgesen, representing
ts9fHes Is9fHes First district Of North Dakota in
the United States Congress, died at
Washington, D. c., Tuesday, shortly
following an operation for appendi-
citis. The news of his demise came
as complete surprise to his North
Dakota constituents.
Mr.. Helgesen was beginning his
fourth term in the lower house of con-
gress and it was freely predicted both
in Washington and in this state that
he was the logical republicans candi-
date for United States senator to sue
ceed Senator A. J. Gronna when his
term expires four years hence. He
was born and raised in Decorah, Iowa,
June 26th, 1857, being nearly 60
years of age at the time of death.
In 1887 he came to what is now
Milton, building the first business
house there and entering the hard
ware business. He added lumber and
furniture later and became the owner
of much farm land. He sold out his
business interests on going to con-
gress.
In the first state election in North
Dakota, 1889, he was elected commits
sioner of agriculture and labor and
then reelected two years later.

Hoists Flag Upon
Urgent Demand of
Hundred Citizens

Paul Messer, proprietor of the
German Hotel in South Dickinson, is
now flying the United States flag
from the flag pole on, the peak of bis
building, and thereby, hangs a5,;tale.
It is alleged that Messer criticised
a grocery firm in the city for display
of the flag and threatened to with
draw his trade if the flag was not
pulled down. This rumor spread
rapidly, and the following day nearly
a hundred patriotic young men of the
city got together, purchased a flag
and marched in a body to the German
hotel. Messer was handed the flag
with instructions to hoist it on his
hotel building, which order was COM
piled with without argument.
Mr.. Messer then proclaimed his 10y
atty and the members of the flag
raising delegation disbanded in good
order.

FOR GRAVE 0FFENSE

John Ewasiuk, an Austrian 50
years of age, who made his home
on the Matt Vicente farm, about 12
miles northwest of Belfield, just over
the + llngs county line, plead guilty
on Tuesday before Judge Crawford
in Dickinson to the charge of rape
IN the first degree. The complainant
was a little Vicente girl, ten years
OF age. The judge pronounced an
intermediate sentence of from four
to fifteen years at hard labor in
the state penitentiary.
Ewasluk, who came to this country
from Austria about three years ago,
has wife and several children still
residing in the old country. A mar
rled daughter resides in North Da-
kota. He has been staying at the
Vicente home the greater part of the
time, and recently told of his crime
to a neighbor, who in turn informed
the girls father. Ewasiuk's arrest
followed, Sheriff Charles F. Will of
Billings county, and Deputy Sheriff
Peter Polanuk of Stark county bring
ing him before Judge Crawford, who
pronounced sentence. States At

Attorney H. A. Mackoff of Belfeld

Bride of Dickinson appeared for the
defendant. "
Hes admitted his crime before the
court, giving as an excuse that he
committed the deeds while under the
influence Of liquor. He had nothing
to say concerning the sentence except
that he be allowed to attend religious
services in his church before being
sent to the penitentiary. Judge Craw-i
ford signified his willingness to grant
this request, but when the prisoner
found that he had to do so in the
custody of the sheriff, he changed his
mind. "a,

MIDGET Mill
May Be BUILT
IN DICKINSON
PLANS UNDER WAY FOR BUILD.
ING OF THIRD MILL IN THIS
CITY.
Proposed Plant Will Combine Flour
and Feed Mill With Large Grain
Storage Warehouse.

Plans are under way for the estab-
lishment of another Touring mill and
grain storage warehouse in Dickinson,
the mill to be- of the latest pattern
Midget style. This type of flour mill
is meeting with favor throughout the
entire Northwest, as it is claimed that
good flour can be produced more
economically with the use of the
Midget than any other mill manufac-
tured. An eight-horse power electric
motor furnishes sufficient power to
operate one Of these mills, and one
man can oversee the work.
George w. Frame and Walter J.
Doheney, two prominent millers and
grain men of the northern part of the
state, are backing the move and spent
several days in the city the past
week arranging plans. Mr.. Frame is
a brother Of Col. John Frame, form
er lieutenant governor of North Da-
kota, and Mr.. Doheney has been con-
nected with milling interests in
Grafton, Grand Forks and other
northern cities for several years past.
Mr.. Doheney told representative
of the Press that the proposed Dick
lnson warehouse would have capac-
lty OF about 10000 bushels of grain,
and would be located on the N. P.
right of way. The mill would be
built on private property close by and
be connected with the warehouse by
system of grain carriers. In addition
to the grinding of flour, the mill
would also grind feed, thus affording
farmers an opportunity of bringing
both their wheat and feed to the mill
and have it ground, taking with them
the by-products of the wheat in ad-
dition to the flour, if so desired.

GOVERNMENT IS DELAYING WAR
 PRICE SCHEDULE
Various Rum0rS Floating Around Wall Street
 Regarding when Will Be Paid.
SECURITY MARKET GOOD

NEW YORK, July 10.-Rumors oi all shades and descriptions are fill ing Wall Street relative to govern ment purchases, motor combines. etc but mostly they center around the price to be paid for steel products Apparently the administration is anx ious to close up this price proposi tion but it is difficult to see how prices can be easily adjusted wher a thorough investigation of costs has just been determined upon.
 The fact of the matter is that there is an ebb and flow to the SC curity markets-mostly ebb by req son of the sudden decline from its high estate of one of the prominent motor stocks, early introduced in Wall Street. High raw material prices tell the story there as they must in other directions when the finished products do not move for ward expeditiously. Their influence is just as pronounced indirectly as it is directly, for instance, in the building trades.
 The call money market is exhibit ing no such uneasiness or nervous ness as might be expected if there were to be pyrotechnics over the first of the month. To be sure, new loans are being discouraged, but the reserve centers are not being called upon by the interior to the extent thought probable few weeks ago. The reserve bank reservoirs have hardly been tapped into the bargain.
