: MARKET UNSETTLED

New York, Aug. 6-Buying orders
flowed into the market today and
there was a substantial rally. Stee1s,
oils, equipments, feathers, .shippings
and investment railroads were adj
vaneed 1 to IL points with Hous=
ton Oil rising 5 points. The advance
soon was checked by fresh outpeurine
of stocks which brought out various
issues. Rep1ogle fell points and
Baldwin and Bethlehem steel also
were conspieueusly weak. This IL
auidation had an unsettiing influence
despite the efforts to support prices
here and there and the spasna edie

rates were higher but European gov
eminent obligations were mostly
lower.

MISS ELSIE BAKER CONCERT
WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED

The concert given by Elsie Baker
and two supporting artists as one of
the numbers Of the Warren Iyceum
courts last Thursday evening was
greatly appreciated by everyone in the
large audience that was present. Miss
Baker is unquestionably the best sing
er that has ever appeared on Warren
platform. She fairly captivated the
listeners BY her sweet, melOdious and
well trained contralto voice. : Every
number was enthusiastically encored.
Miss Baker occupies high place as a
musical artist before the American
people. She has sung many records
for the Victor photograph and after
the concert, the Holm Jewelry store
had more calls for Elsie Baker records
than it could supply. The supporting
artists were also masters on their re-
spective instruments and every number
given by them delighted the audience.

siderable expense to the post Office de
partment in connection with the SER
vice the revenue Of the Warren post
Office will cover the amount expended
and the money will in this way remain
in Warren and spent by local people.

Values Have Climbed

Much of the land described as swamp
land was previous to 1909 absolutely
unstable. 1t was of no use for any
sort of agricultural purposes Today
it is some of the most fertile land in the
state, and is being sold at prices rang
ing from $50 to $50. Lands which have
been under cultivation and which are
improved are selling as high as $125.
This is a remarkable advance when 1t
is considered that this is comparative
~ a new country.
Timber lands have been made more
accessible, and the value Of these lands
also have been enhanced.
Roseau county has more miles OF
drains than any other county in the
state of Minnesota, according to figures
compiled by the county engineer II
charge Of drainage. There are more
than nine hundred miles Of large drain
age bitches in that county.
