HEAVY EXPORTS
OF WHEAT

This weeks exports from North
America as reported by Bradstreet
was 14,220,000 bushels, including -four
as wheat. Since July first we have
sent out of the United States over
10000, 900 bushels of wheat or nearly
one-third of our entire exportable sur
plus. .J
A scarcity of bread wheat seems in
evitable before next July and probably
the durum wheats will share in the re-
sulting advance.
Canadian Crop Estimates
The three provinces of the Canadian
northwest will produce about two hun
dred and fifty million bushels of wheat
this year. The requirements for
bread and seed are about eighty mil
lion, and there is available for export
one hundred and seventy million BUSH
els. The pressure of this wheat on
the fall and winter markets will prob
ably prevent much of an advance in
wheat prices during the next three or
four months.
Dry in Argentine
Argentine wheat acreage is reduced
on account of dry weather, and re-
ports of recent date state that it is
impossible for Argentine to raise a
wheat crop as large as last seasons,
when reports were one hundred and
ninety million bushels.

Pig SKIN PUSHERS -. -
IN FINE CONDITION

Capt. George Wertin and other can
didates for places on the high school
foot ball team have been doing lit
tie quiet training in anticipation of
the foot ball season which will open
promptly with the opening of school.
After summer of hard work the fel-
lows have been winding up the sum-
mer with some work with the ball so
as to be as fit as possible. Most of
the old members of the team, with a
seasons growth and hardened sin
ews, will be on the job with the ring
ing of the first gong, and these with
the splendid array Of new material in
sight, should make the foundation for
winning team.
Art J. Fagin is the new coach and
he is said to be real foot ball man.
He was fullback on the 42nd Division
team in France and played on the
A. E. F. championship team in Paris
in 1918. Last season his team won
the Twin City championship. At any
rate, the spirit of the fellows is that
Joe Cutting, Williston's champion
maker, will have to look to his laurels.

UNIVERSITY FOOT.
BALL PROSPECTS

The lovers of football, the college
sport, par excellencies, are beginning
to figure out the scoring capacity of
the 1920 gridiron machine Of the Uni
versity of North Dakota. There will
be a goodly number of old men on the
team. Captain John Hanson, Frank
Duggan, Cameron Mckay, Cassel,
Dutch Houser, McLain johnson,
Frank Richards, Johnson, Robinson,
Griffith and Jimmie Conmy.
Coach Davis is expecting Jud May
er, a good man from the Grand Forks
High, Carl Brugger, one of the State
Stars of 1919 and several other men
of equal ability to try for places on
the team. These two squads together
with a number of last years second
team makes it look like a promising
lot cf good material. Practice will be-
gin September IA. The first game of
the season will be with Minnesota, Oc-
tober second.

NOT SURE OF
~ \. THEIR GROUND

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 3.-League
leaders are worried over reports which
have come to.the capitol, following the
action of the railroad increases with.
out making any effort to upheld the
state law of 1919, which was passed
as nonpartisan league measure. h
Many people are unable to under
derstand the action Of the
commission in granting the full
and passenger rates, but denying the
increase on Pullman rates. The COM
mission announced it granted the in
crease because if it did not the rail
roads would take the case to the
courts or the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the state body would
lose it's jurisdiction. Denying the in
crease on two classes and granting it
on two others, however, weakens this
argument. @. r
AS the order now stands, the rates
are greatly increased on grain and
other shipments while the man who
rides in Pullmans gets the benefit of
the action.
1t is known that the action of the
commission was taken over the pro-
test of some of the league leaders,
who took the view that since Mime
sofa, Illinois, New York and some 9TH
er states are fighting some of the in
creases the North Dakota commission
ought to have put up fight. The in
crease at least would have been avoid
ed on the 1920 wheat crop.
Another reason why some of the
league leaders wanted TO fight the in
crease was because the interstate
freight rates in North Dakota are ap-
proximately forty per cent higher
than in Minnesota and are much
higher in South Dakota. The dispar-
5ity is increased by the rate boost.
Those who wanted to fight took the
position that no court in the land
would sanction such discrimination
and that the state would have had
a good chance to win lower rates on
freight and do away with the dis
elimination against North Dakota.
The commission now says it will "hold
hearings" on this subject, but it is
pointed out that the commission can
not 60 back on the action it has al
ready taken. !
The whole matter left bad taste
with representatives of shippers who
were very much Interested in the mat
ter. Only one commissioner was pres
ent at the hearing. Commissioner
Milholland, candidate for reelection,
got in on the finish of the hearing and
Commissioner Aandahl didn't show
up at all. The railroads were repre-
sented in full force. Perhaps the rea-
son why the railroad commission
granted a big increase in freight rates
in time to hit the farmer in shipping
his grain and denied an increase in
|; Rallman rates was because there are
so many high-salaried state officials
travelling in Pullmans and so few of
them interested in shipping grain.

HUNTERS SEE
RECORD SEASON.

Up to Tuesday about $50 hunting
licenses had been issued by County
Auditor C. w. Nelson. This is only
q nieSEstart, since there is usually
about 20 issued every year. Pros
poets Al. s. a good hunting season so
far. 1t is. k.,cted that the total sale
Of licenses ,se. state will go over
the $4,000 ma sccording to George
NJ. Hogpe, secre> ,af the state game
and fish board.
The bird season opens September
1G. Resident licenses sell for $1.50
and nonresident licenses for $25.00.
; During the past 18 months North
Dakota mas been advertised all over
the country by the federal bureau of
biology as the best chicken and
duck state in. the country for fall
shooting, with resultant stream of
nonresident hunters pouring in. APP
plications for nonresident licenses
have been received by Secretary
Hogue from practically every section
of the nation. More than rs come
from Minneapolis alone. ., IL
The fact that the canvasback duck,
red head and mallard, which breed
in North Dakota, are protected here
through the spring and summer by
the federal migratory bird act and
treaty with Canada, makes North
Dakota the ideal fall hunting state.
Preseason hunters are meeting
with severe punishment, according
to Mr.. Hogue. The state is spotted
with federal game wardens who are
on the lookout for violators Of the
migratory bird act. Last week one
hunter near Bismarck paid $81 for
shooting two ducks out of season.
He will also be held for violation
of the state law. .,f'ta$S ~

ASLEEP AT .
THESWlTCH

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 2.-Asleep
at the switch! This is the way some
people are referring to the lack of
action by Governor Frazier and other
state officials in recognizing the coal
and grain car shortage facing the
state. Had the state officials got busy
several months ago on the PROPOSE
tion of bringing cars back to North
Dakota from the east and rushing coal
shipments through, the people Of the
state would not now be facing the
highest coal prices in history, and
farmers would not be losing money
because the elevators don't know
when they can ship. their grain. 3
It was not until after the governor
of Minnesota and the North Dakota
Bankers Association called for &C.
ton in, the car shortage did the state
officials wake upland the governor put
a railroad commissioner to work to
represent the state, in getting cars
out to North Dakota to ship the grain.
The priority order for the shipment
of coal from the east to northwest
points was obtained single-handed by
the Minnesota fuel commissioner.
j. A. McGovern, deputy grain in
spector, declared the farmers we're be-
ing robbed out Of millions of dollars
because elevators were paying for
wheat on the December market instead
of the Minneapolis cash price. Eleva-
tor men are doing this because they
can't sell the wheat they are buying
on the Minneapolis cash market.
They know they are not going to get
cars right away, and they probably
won't be able to ship much Of the
wheat until near the time the Decem-
ber price becomes the cash price. But
had Governor Frazier or other state
officials got busy on the car shortage
three months ago and got back on
North Dakota railroads their own
freight cars this situation would not
exist. McGovern also said the state
mill at Drake was paying the cash
price. So are other flour mills paying
either this price or the straight ar
rival price which is about the same.
They can do. it because they can
"hedge" in the selling of flour, but
elevators cannot do this. ~.

INTERESTING + FACTS
ARE REVEALED

II. S. johnson, secretary of the Des
Lacs Western Oil Co., with headquar-
ters at Minot, N. D., is in the city to-
day. Mr.. johnson came down to con-
fer with stockholders of his company
and look after other business He re-
ports his company coming along fine,
and that he is confident that before
many more weeks they will have their
we'll working. He reports they have
encountered tremendous gas pressure
during their 'borings. ! Several
of the local business men have stock
in this company. ~
Some interesting things are being
brought to&light during the borings
for oil. The~Minot Daily News tells
the following factsh regarding the
finding of remains of animals and fish
at great depths.
The oil borings of the Des Lacs'
Western Oil Co., II miles west Of Mi
not, aside from the commercial side of
the operations, are provingSof rare
value in the line Of geological study.
Many notable discoveries are being
made and some accepted theories re-
garding the deeper formations in this
1CSAOu o1C otoIVNr w 4A0vV UCOA VSOA
turned as result. %
The most striking feature Of the
discovery is perhaps the finding Of
remains of animals and fish. at depths
greater than 5000 feet. A fossil tooth
was brought up from a depth of more
than 3,100 feet. A fragment of the
shin bone Of some prehistoric animal
was discovered at a depth of $3.50
feet. At 5000 feet the vertebra of
fish was found. Still another speci-
men is the fossilized remains Of the
fish known as the squid. These fossils
have been examined by geologists and
are classified by experts, it is stated.
The we'll is. now down about 3,400
feet and various shells, thought to
be those of clans and mussels, are be-
ing brought up daily.
It is believed by geologists that this
entire region, extending to southern
North Dakota and even into western
Minnesota, is the bed of an ancient
lake. Minot lies in the old basin,. The
antiquity of this lake and the life in
and around it may be realized from
the remarkable depth of covering mat
ter accumulated over the remains now
being brought to light.
