her daughter during the forepart Of
her illness and thinking that her
daughter was on the road to recovery
had left for California, barely reach
ING there WREN she received the sad
news of her daughters death. She
returned Immediately and arrived here
Thursday morning.
Mrs. Tena Koike was joined in mar
rage to Harry E. Koike at Minot, N.
D., about eight years ago and to them
were born three children: Iotpie, age
u: Aves, are 5, and Richard, age 8.
The deceased leaves to mourn her

The entire grain list registered

Upon the arrivals of more new wheat
Of higher gluten tests than was an
ticipated earlier, Wheat premiums,
particularly for The better milling
qualities, sustained radical declines
being from 80 to 4Oc bushel lower
for the No. / grade. August sales Of
corn made record low mark since
1907.
Crop damage reports now having
become negligible factor and with
general sentiment that a large
Wheat crop on an ayerage-is assured,
speculative buying support has to
some extent been withdrawn and ap-
parently the export buying by itself
is insufficient to advance prices and
offset the weight ofhedging pressure.
In one important respect the season
is the reverse of last year in that no
holding policy on the part of produc-
ers is noticeable except possibly to a
small extent in oats which are COM
paratively very cheap. Receipts at
all markets continue unusually heavy
as compared with the corresponding
time year ago.
A new element OF considerable slg-
nificance is the continued buying Of
our hard winter wheat by the Gov
ernments of Brazil and Uruguay for
shipment to South America. It is re-
ported that so far six cargoes Of
this wheat has been booked for South
American shipment. As evidenced by
the exceptionally light exports from
Argentine, Canadian and American
wheat now appears to have no seri-
Gus foreign competition and sales are
restricted only by the difficulties IN
arranging satisfactory credits abroad.
Government new crop figures are
due tomorrow. A materially reduced
oats Weld is expected but with the
generally known light crop, both IN
quality and quantity, buying enthusl-
asm nevertheless is at low ebb, the
large unmarketable carry-over from
last year being the principal depres-
sive influence. The corn situation is
distinguished from oats by q sharp
foreipn demand and the present low
price should therefore discount the
prospect Of another large crop. On
the possibility Of reduced yield from
the present indications, corn would
be entitled to good advances.

ASTRONOMY and :
OUR WEATHER
By Prof. G. R. Petite
P1entvwOod. Montana

August TO-. In my former articles,
and my lectures, have stated that
the Mercury period ending July 9th,
would probably give us a month Of
very good harvest weather, with
nothing more than light local showers,
until the last of August, when we en-
ter another Mercury period, running
to the 18th Of September, and will
name the 9Th, 18th and 18th; as CEN
ters of weather disturbance, with
rains near those dates.
And I would advise farmers to
either thresh or stack their crops as
soon as possible, as / believe there
will be unusually bad weather after
the 10th Of October, but good wealth
er the last 10 days Of September, and
first ten days Of October.

Idylor Contempt Case
Postponed Til Sept: Sd


On Tuesday morning, August 9Th,
Court convened at 500 o'clock, Judge
Borton presiding After disposing IF
q. few civil cases, the Charles E. Tay-
1or Contempt case came up for
hearing. .Attys.- -Babcock and Lewis,
assisted Judge sBorton as friends Of
the court. s.
Mr.. Taylor appeared for himself
and requested that as he was leaving
on trip to the western part Of the
state at once that his case be heard
at this time, which request was grant
ed by Judge Borton
Editor Taylor first asked for con-
tinuance on the grounds that his
lawyers, Attys Wheeler & Baldwin,
were unable to be present at this time
on account of having cases in Federal
Court; second, that he wished to have
Conner sit as Judge in his case and
which Judge Conner had said previous
ly that he would dc so if Taylor
wished it, and third, because he was
leaving the county on urgent business
and would be gone for about two
weeks.
Judge Borton denied the first point,
saying that plenty of lawyers could
be secured, but on the second point,
said that if Mr.. Taylor wished Judge
Conner to sit in his case, that he was
willing to continue the case until Mr.:
Conner returned from his vacation or
on the 3rd day Of September.
It was stipulated by the attorneys
that Taylor be allowed to put in his
answer by attorney on the following
day, August 10th, thus enabling him
to leave on his trip Immediately.
The following morning Atty. S. E.
Paul appeared for Taylor and filed
his answer, Judge Borton continuing
the case until Saturday, September
third.
There were only few people pres
Eent at the trial, the lawyers of Plen-
tywood being in the great majority
as most of them We're interested in
one way or another. Mr.. Taylor put
up a splendid argument and proved
that he was we'll able to take care OF
his own case without the aid of coun-
sci. A large crowd will no doubt be
present when the case is heard on
September 3rd.

Ford Freight Rate Cut Too
Rapid to Be Legal Is Claim

Washington, Aug. 8.-Freight
rate reductions on Henry Ford's
Toledo, Detroit & Ironton Rail-
road have been made too rapidly
to comply with the regulations
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. His application to file
tariff reduction by 20 per cent
on the rate on stone from Sib-
ley, Mich, to Detroit, was for
this reason denied today by the
commission.
Mr.. Ford put into effect a re-
duction on July 26 Of sfive cents
hundred on this traffic, and un-
der the regulations thirty days
must elapse before additional re-
ductions can be made in the same
traffic.
