underground system begins at Yoko-

on the Gulf Of California.
"Here, either by water or across
the border, the Japanese invaders are
smuggled into the United States. In
Honolulu and at Guaymas posts have
been established which take care of
the details of smuggling. Mexican

oAKEs MAKES 1T TWO STRAIGHT
Berlin Forced to Take Second Drub-
bing in Two Starts

The second game between Oakes
and Berlin was pulled off at Full
lerton last Sunday afternoon, with the
same result as the first one.
1t was originally planned to place
the same teams in the field and sweet
en- the pot with 500 side bet. This
proposition came from Berlin and was
accepted by the local team. For some
reason Berlin could not get the same
pitcher, SO the bet was called off.
Koverick was on the slab for the
Berlin team and dished up swell ar
ticle of ball. Oakes managed to score
off him in only two innings, but this
proved to be enough. The Berliners
opened hostilities by scoring two runs
in the first inning, but Oakes came
right back in their half with four. The
game continued to for several in
nings, then Berlin managed to slip
an6ther run across. In the first half
of the ninth, amid wild cheering from
their friends, Berlin tied the score, but
their joy was short-lived, as Oakes
got the winning run in the last half.
Kahl secured life on an error, went
to second on the play and was brought
home by Wes Hoar's sharp single to
left field.
The game was one of the most in
teresting that has been played this
year, and spectators were kept on
their toes from the time the managers
tossed up for choice of innings until
the final marker was slipped over after
two were out in the last half of the
last inning.
It was no place for people suffering
from weak heart.
A game will be played on the local
diamond next Sunday, but the oppos-
ing team has not yet been named.

new SCHOOL IS
NOW ASSURED

Election to Vote Additional Bonds ia
Be Held Later

The result of the special school
election Tuesday leaves no doubt that
the people of Oakes are determined to
have that new school building. A
whirlwind campaign on the part Of the
boosters brought out a vote of 359, OF
which 357 were Yes, one No and one
blank. As the 357 votes cast in favor
Of increasing the debt limit is a com.
Portable majority Of all the voters in
the district, it is now legally possible
to bond the district to ten per cent OF
its assessed valuation, and thus raise
enough money to erect the building
according to plans accepted by the
board of education.
While an election to vote additional
bonds made possible by the successful
outcome Of Tuesdays vote will un-
doubtedly be called in the future, it is
not the plan Of the board to do this
for some time. Funds are available
to enclose the basement story, and that
is all that will be attempted this fall
Since it would be impossible to rush
the building fast enough to have it
ready for use this coming school year
no effort will be made to push the con-
struction through the winter weather
Contractor Peterson Of Aberdeen
was in Oakes the fore part of the
week and stated that he expects to
begin work on the basement in a few
days. The day when the new build.
ing is started will mark new era in
the history of Oakes, for the boosting
spirit that has rolled like juggernau,
over the obstacles in the way of the
new school is the spirit that distin.
guishes the live town from the dead
one.
Is Oakes live one? Well say she
is, about 357 to 1!

CROP PROSPECTS
ARE VERY BRIGHT
Rust Damage Noticeable in Some Sec.
tions, but Good General Yield
is Expected
FARMERS BUSY WITH HARVEST
Hum of Threshing Machine Will Soon
g Be Heard

Notwithstanding the tendency on the
part Of some Of our people to be pes
simistic regarding the outcome Of the
1920 harvest, conservative men appear
to think we are going to have much
better than an average yield, when all
the returns are in.
There is no use discounting the fact
that rust has reduced the yield mater
tally within the last few days, but it
now appears that not more than twen-
ty per cent general damage has been
done. The eighty per cent we are go
ing to market will be better than the
usual full crop.
The rust damage varies with the To-
cality. In some sections practically
no harm has been done, while in 9TH
ers it is considerably worse.
In the face of this, people living in
this part Of the state have reason to
congratulate themselves on the pres
ent outlook. Nothing besides wheat
has been damaged in the least, and
this leaves full harvest of oats, bar
ley, corn and flax. A tour through
the country will convince even the
most skeptical that there is no great
cause for alarm.
North Dakota farmers usually have
hard row to hoe before they have
safely marketed their grain. But they
have become accustomed to harvesting
smaller crops than they thought they
would early in the season. Every year
in June and the early part of July the
crops look like million dollars. Con-
sequently the farmers hopes are rails
ed too high, because "there's many a
slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," and
this holds good in any agricultural
section. If we could only market in
August and September the prospects
we had six weeks earlier, everybody
would be rich in a few years.
Looking all the facts in the face,
the disagreeable ones as we'll as the
pleasant, the wheat yield is going to
be much better than the average, and
flax, corn, oats and barley will bring
the balance we'll over the top.
Everybody is going to have plenty
of money this fall, and business will
take such decided jump forward that
we will wonder how we could have
been worried at harvest time.
Some Of the wheat is going as high
as twenty-five and thirty bushels to
the acre, and even the poorest will
hardly go less than twelve.
Go out, look at it yourselves, and
cheer up.

RAIL FARE INCREASE AUG. q
Freight Rates to Be Boosted Five
Days Later

Ihe new passenger fares probably
will become effective August 20, and
the advanced freight rates August 25,
according to program outlined Mon
day by Alfred P. Thorn, general coun-
sci for the association of railway ex-
ecutives.
Simultaneously the Increases for
Pullman fares and the new rates on
excess baggage and milk will be put
in force.
Railroad rate experts are preparing
blanket rate schedules increasing the
transportation costs on a percentage
basis. These will be presented to the
Interstate Commerce commission five
days prior to the proposed effective
dates. The rate sheets will be sup
plemented by printed tariffs contain
ing rates for all territories and on all
commodities when the task of work
ing out the details can be accomplish
ed. Until this is done, local rail Of
ficials will compute the new rates and
charges for their respective territor-
les on the basis Of the existing rates
plus the percentage increase author
lied. While this method would be un-
usual, railroad officials pointed to the
commissions suggestion that the high
er charges be put >in force as early as
practicable.
BY putting the increased rates into
effect prior to September 1, the drain
on the treasury under the guarantee
provisions Of the TRANSPORTATION act
will be ended before expiration of
the governments guarantee of earn
ings Of the roads. officials estimate
that by September the guarantee
provisions would have cost the gov
ernment approximately $3.50, 900 900
for the six months since passage of
the present railroad law.
The government has been obliged to
continue the $715, ,000, 900 monthly rem
tai payment in effect during federal
control, as we'll as to meet deficits not
covered by the rental amount, suffer-
ed by individual carriers. Included in
the charges which will fall on the
treasury is that portion of the $780,.
100000 wage award covering labor
costs from May l to September 1,
when the guarantee expires. This
was officially estimated at $206, ,000,-
900. Thus, the American people will
pay one-third of the increased wages
for railroad employees this year in
taxes.
The roads will have cost the govern
ment approximately $1,500,O00, 900
since the president took over the prop
critics Dec. %, 1917.
Operation of the roads after Sept.
1, under the new rates will yield, ac-
cording to experts, an annual return
Of $1,580,00O,000.
The railroad experts believed freight
revenues under the new charges would
amount to $1,000 1000, 900, and income
from passenger traffic $283,000, 900.
Their estimates were based on the as
sumption that intrastate rates would
be increased correspondingly with the
advance authorized in interstate rates
The need for increases in intrastate
rates was set forth in report for
warded to state railway and public
utility commissions by the three state
commissioners who sat with the Inter-
state Commerce commission during
the hearings of the rate case.
