ing provision was urged by Mime

buying of grain is harmful to the mar
ket. R. A. Wilkinson, member of the

FOREST FIRES RAGE
IN WASHINGTON

Seattle, Wash, July 7. - Forest
fires raging in four sections Of the.
Pacific northwest have caused nearly
five million dollars damage and taken
at least two lives. Only rain can
check the flames which are spreading
with great rapidity following long
dry spell, lumber men here believe.
Two men died from burns when their
home in Murville, Vancouver Island,
was destroyed. Two other houses
were destroyed in Murville. The
damage amounting to more than one
million dollars is the result of forest
fires in western Washington. The
most serious blaze in this state is in
Eatonville where the fire is threaten
ing the largest tract Of Douglas fir
left on the coast. In the southwest
ern part Of the state the flames are
spreading on both sides of the river,
destroying great tracts of timber.
Oregon fires caused at least two
million dollars damage to timber, mill
and railroad property. All the Ore
gon fire fighters efforts are centered
on the fire at Tillmook county where
the fire is advancing on a 20 mile
front, combined with all the railroad,
timber and government forces. They
are all battling with the fire without
success. Many cabins and logging
camps have been burned.

SHOWS SITUATION
RESUME OF STRIKES

Chicago, ILL.,, July 11-Threatening
to strangle the country's arteries be-
tween giant pinchers, on the shortage
of men and coal power, the railroad
strike now is in its 18th day and the
coal strike in it's 102nd day. Closing
in upon the visible weakening trans
portation system of the United States
today. Curtaiment Of the train SER
vice in New York, Illinois, Louisiana,
Missouri, and a half dozen other
states. Embargoes by carriers a.
gainst shipment Of livestock and felt
mostly in Kansas City, Mo. The state
ment by the railroad officials that the
average Of two months coal supply
remaining to keep the wheels turning
emphasized the eminence of a crisis.
An attempt at settlement Of the coal
strike began by the government as
the fear was that the railroad shop
men walk out would result in violence.
State troops are now read Y to act
against the first sign of sabotage.
At Parsons, Kansas, troops are
guarding the shops where non union
men have begun operation. Several
calls for state assistance has been re-
ceived from several other places, by
Governor Allen.
Dynamiting and shooting in connec-
tion with the strike and other violence
at Newcastle, California, resulted in
the calling of state troops by carriers.

HI-LlNERS TAKE
GAME FROM FARGO

The Hi-Liners proved yesterday
that they were capable of playing ball
in heavy going. They played Fargo
on a muddy field and finished in the
lead, the score being 6 to S. Enger
was on the mound and had lot on
the ball besides the mud, and had the
Athletics guessing at all times. The
boys fattened their batting averages
yesterday at the expense of Jensen al
tho the Athletics managed to get one
more hit on the official score than did
the locals.
Dean played yesterday with an in
jured leg and was sent to left field,
Meyer holding down shortstop. The
game was slow and uninteresting as
the mud prevented fast play. The To-
Gals scored once in the first, and the
Athletics took the lead in the second
with two runs. They held the lead un-
til the seventh when the Hi-Liners
batted clear around and brought in

Fargo was unable to overcome this
lead but managed to get run in the
last half of the ninth. Just as the Hi
Liners finished their bat in the first
of the ninth it began to rain. 1t pour
ed down for few minutes but Um-
pire Collins called the boys out as
soon as it stopped and told them to
play ball. The grounds were so slip
perry that the boys were hardly able
to stand and Bachant played the in
ming under protest. Fargo managed
to get one run over in the final frame
but the boys were giving Enger per-
feet support and the side was retired
in short order.

RAIN BOTH AIDS
AND HURTS CROPS

Washington, July - Rain which
proved the farmers friend in some
parts Of the country was his foe in
other sections during the week ending
Tuesday, the weather bureau reported
in it's weekly weather ana crop re-
view.
Harvesting and thresh1ng ol grain
was retarded by rains in the north
eastern states and among uncut grain
there was considerable lodging due to
rain and wind. Harvesting of winter
wheat generally went along satisfac-
torily in central and northern portions
of the belt, except in eastern Kansas,
and threshing made good progress in
southern portion and was started in
the central section.
Additional moisture, combined with
cool weather, however, aided the
spring wheat crop in the Dakotas.
More rain is needed in the more west
ern states, the review asserted, add
ing that the crop was suffering very
greatly from drought in Washington,
and Oregon, where not irrigated, and
in Utah and Montana.
Dry weather was reported as doing
great damage to the oats crop prac-
tically throughout the whole region
where that crop is grown.
The rain proved of great benefit to
the corn crop, except in eastern Iowa
and Missouri, northern Illinois and
parts of the southeast, according to
reports to the bureau. The temper
ature was favorable for growth in all
sections except in Minnesota and Wis
consin where warm weather was need
led. Conditions were most oavfrable
for cultivation and much corn has
been laid in by central states.

MORE. HORSES
SOLD This YEAR

Seven leading live stock markets.,
on or West of the Mississippi, accord
ing to the Horse Association of Amer
ica, have forged ahead of 1921 rec
ords, for January to June, in their
horse and mule sales for the first
five months of 1922. At Kansas City,
Omaha, St. Louis, st. Joseph, Wichi-
ia, Oklahoma City and Denver, 70,099
horses and mules were sold up to
June L, 1922, as against 62,451 in the
same period last year. Other mar
kets show a decrease so slight that,
considering the slack demands Of 1922
business, a generally increased pro-
portion of horse use is clearly indicat-
ed.
In round numbers, there are 27 mill
lion horses and mules in the U. S.,
and last year, according to the Horse
Association, over two hundred thou
sand of these were sold in only ID of
our city markets. The National Stock
Yards at East St. Louis, Ills, handled
the greatest number; their 1921 total
was 67,756 horses and mules. 1922
promises to exceed this, for the first
5 months sales amount to 39,461 as
against 1895 for the same period
last year.
Buyers everywhere have difficulty
in finding enough of the right type of
work animals, for horses are being re-
instated on many lines of short haul
and delivery work in cities. S. L. Hal
lenbeck, buyer for baking concern in
Minneapolis, says he scours the coun-
try for 800 miles out, to keep their
horse stock up to standard. His plan
is to buy high class green horses,
black, averaging 1900 pounds, use
them several years, and then sell.
These horses, sound and city broke,
are not worn out on the job, but are
disposed of before depreciation be-
gins at price we'll in advance Of the
first cost. Thus their 157 horses used
singly, and their two q horse draft
teams, handle all hauling and deliver
ing for the cost of labor and feed on

PR0CRESSlVES TO
FIGHT FOR PRIMARY

Washington, D. c., July 7 - Pro-
gressives in both parties are ready to
meet the attacks on the primary sys-
tenn with counter attacks, they said
today, following the announcement OF
a nation wide effort to return to the
old system of party nominations.
There will probably be measures in
troduced in the coming Congress to
broaden the primary system, making
it applicable and perhaps avoid pre-
convention scandal which nearly al
ways marks each presidential year.

SLIGHT CUT SEEN IN
COAL RATES DECISION

Minneapolis, July S-Changes made
by the interstate commerce commits
sion in coal rates from Duluth and
Superior to northwestern points, in it's
revised decision given out yesterday,
amounts to slight reductions on dis
tances up to 240 miles, except for
the $50 mile distance, which incluo2s
the twin cities. This is the conclusion
drawn by Stanley B. Houck, attorney
for the complainants in the case, af-
ter study of the decision today. The
Minneapolis rate, which has been
$1.S3 on bituminous and $2.02 on an
thracite coal since July /, is not
changed.
Mr.. Houck was attorney for about
200 complainants joined in the socall-
fed "Holmes & Hallowell case" After
the decision had been filed, practically
all interests objected to various fea-
lures and a rehearing was granted.
Illinois mine operators Lake Michigan
interests and retail coal dealers of
Minnesotas and the Dakotas were on
hand.
The outcome, Mr.. Houck said today
is left practically the same except for
reductions of 10 cents in the basis
rate for short distances and S cents
for distances of 1870 to 240 miles, ex-
cept for the $50 mile haul. On this
the commission find that the present
rate is fair having been kept down by
the refusal of the Minnesota railroad
and warehouse commission to allow :
previous increase on the intrastat,
line from Duluth to the twin cities.

TO Err IElCATE
o.RBERRY BUSH

Twenty four field men under the
direction Of the State Leader, Geo. C..
Mayoue started farm-to-farm surveys
in North Dakota for the eradication
of the barberry bush, which scientists
declare will reduce losses from black
rust to neglible figure. The work is
under the direction Of the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture. The men
are now at work in Pierce, McHenry,
Wells, Bottineau, Towner, and Rolette
counties. Other counties in which sur
veys will be made this year include
Benson, Sheridan, Ward, Renville,
Burke, Mountrail, Mclean, Burleigh,
Kidder, Emmons, Sioux, Adams, Het-
finger, Morton, Oliver and Mercer.
During the last three years surveys
were made in Pembina, Cavalier,
Ramsey, Nelson, Grand Forks, Eddy,
Foster Griggs, Steele, Trail, Cass,
Barnes, Stutsmau, Lodge, Mcintosh,
LaMoure, Dickey, Ransom, Sargent,
and Richland counties. The western
Tier Of counties, together with Dunn,
Stark and Billings will be the only
ones left to survey if this years work
is completed as planned.
Similar work is being carried on
in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Ne
braska, Ohio, South Dakota, Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming.
"Complete stamping out of the bar
berry bushes over a very large area
will show up most effectively the con-
nection of this bush with black rust",
declares Mr.. Mayoue. "Experiments
have established the fact that in the
northern states, the black rust must
spend certain necessary period of it's
life cycle on the barberry bush, from
where the spores or seed-like bodies
of the disease may be carried by the
wind for hundreds of miles in the
summer and infect the growing wheat.
Specimens of plants thought to be the
barberry bush may be sent in to the
Agricultural college for Identification.

They Stand BY Newberry.

Senator Borah wanders from
the point. No brand of shame
was put upon Mr.. Newberry by
giving him his seat in the Sen
ate. Shame is a subjective emo
ton. 1t must be felt. 1t cannot
be communicated, like the mea-
sles. Newberry, simple soul,
didn't know any money was be-
ing spent for him in Michigan.
What has he to be ashamed of ?
As for the Republicans who
stolidly voted to give him his
seat, as they were bound to do,
not one Of them felt the least
shame. Can you imagine Henry
Cabot Lodge being ashamed of
anything in politics which he
thinks it necessary or expedi-
ent to do? There they were, the
