PENNINGTON DISTRICT STILL
HARVESTING-CR is HEAVY

County Agricultural Agent o. S.
Fletcher made trip Thursday
through the northeastern part of the
county and states that in the district
between Yellowdog and Pennington,
it will take at least a week of good
weather threshing the wheat and oats
This is to be accounted for largely,
Mr.. Fletcher states, by the exception
ally heavy straw coupled with a
shortage of help. The crop is one of
the best harvested in that part of the
county in many years.
Mr.. Fletcher states that while there
has been a shortage of outside help
throughout the county, the harvest
has been finished in good season, due
to the exceptionally fine weather, and
that most of the money for labor is
left in the county, and should add

gave a most interesting address last
night at the Presbyterian church on
Indian affairs. AS a member of the
congressional committee he has been
making a special study of matters
pertaining to the welfare and ad-
vancement of our Indian peoples. He

visits and findings among several of
the Indian tribes including those in
the territory of Alaska. He spoke
with particular enthusiasm of the
work of Presbyterian missions among
them and told of the wonderful trans
formation that is being wrought by
the splendid work of Nez Perce
Indian ministers among other
tribes and special prayer was offer
ed in their behalf.

QUIET REIGNS IN
OKLAHOMA STATE
COURT ACTION STARTED = GOV
ERNOR AND LEGISLATIVE MEM
BERS TO ABIDE BY RESULTS

Oklahoma City, Ok1a.-(A. P.)-
The pyrOtechnicS which have sWept
Oklahoma aflame since Governor J
G. Walton opened his war on the Ku
K1ux Klan, and state legislators in
turn opened a drive to impeach the
executive, began to fade out tonight
with long, dull court fight in pros
pect.
The first move to test in the courts
the legality of the special session of
the lower house of the legislature,
called by the members who hold it is
their right to investigate the official
acts OF Governor Walton, was taken
In state district court here late to-
day. Sixty-seven house members ap-
piled for a temporary injunction re-
straining Adjutant General B. H.
Markham and all members of the
Oklahoma national guard from in
terfering with meetings of the house.
No order was issued by the court dur
ing the brief proceedings and by
agreement of all parties, hearing on
the petition was set for next Tuesday
before Judge J. l.. Phelps.
Meanwhile the house members
who gathered here yesterday and at
tempted to convene, only to be dis
persed by military authorities acting
under instructions from the govern
or, began to leave for their homes to
await the outcome of the court fight.
A pledge was signed by the legis-
1ators that should the courts finally
decide they have authority to meet
as an impeachment body, they will
convene at any time upon call of
Representative w. B. McBee, one of
the leaders of the rebel legislators
No further attempt will be made to
convene, it was agreed, until the is
sue is decided in the state supreme
court, and then there remains the
possibility that the case will gol
through the United States supreme
court. A temporary injunction, i'll
granted by the district court, will
not be made the basis for another at
tempt to assemble, the legislators de-
cided.

FIRE DAMAGES S. p. DAVIS

Fire was discovered about two
o'clock this afternoon in the S. P.
Davis residence, at the corner of
Jefferson and Seventh streets, and

age to the extent of about $3.50 had
resulted. The prompt response of
the fire department when the alarm
was given, saved the house and con-
tents from being totally destroyed.
Fire Chief Carl Smith was unable
to locate the cause of the fire, mem
bers of the family who occupied the
house all being away when the fire
was discovered by someone passing
on the street. 1t is thought that it
may have been started by the child

STATEMENT BY DR..
MAYO ON CANCER
NOTED SURGEON GIVES IMPORT
ANT FACTS-EARLY DIAGNOSIS
:. ONLY SALVATION.

Rochester, Minn.-(A pat a
meeting of the general staff of the
! Malo clinic, held a few days ago.
: DR.. w. j. Mayo referred to recent
| newspaper comment on his remarks
made with regard to the present sta
tus of the cancer problem, quoting
him as declaring, in substance, that
there was no cure for cancer In the
course of a lecture in London in July
DR. Mayo said, There is no medical
cure TOR cancer" in other words, no
medicine taken internally will cure
the disease. Continuing, he said that
a great deal of experimental work
was in progress in all parts of the
world, all of which gradually was
adding important knowledge con-
corning this serious disease, but un-
fortunately these Investigations,
which have been made on animals,
have not, as yet, any direct applica-
ton to human subjects.
Mr.. Mayo, in his talk to his staff,
said that the cure of cancer depends
on diagnosis and removal at the
earliest possible time. In some man
ner, the laity must be taught to un-
derstand these truths. Experience in
the Mayo clinics has been that 71.S per
sent of patients operated on for can
Ger when the disease is still localized,
that is, has not extended beyond the
primary focus, are cured by opera
ton, and the large majority of the re-
mainder greatly benefited, and many
have been cured even when the dis
ease had extended beyond the pri-
mary focus.
Surgical operation is the only
method Ohio nrin
ly considered, DR.. Mayo continued,
the growth, of surrounding tissues
and glands that may have become
involved in the disease. The X-ray,
radium and other agents have a field
of usefulness in connection with
surgery. but a patient should not be
subjected to X-ray, radium or other
surgical consultation since, if such
agents are used while the disease
is still local, and fail to cure, the
resultant tissue changes delay de-
may perhaps prevent it. Radiother-
apy and other treatment in the hands |
of unframed persons, or those whose |
knowledge is limited to one type of
do an enormous amount
Of harm. Lacking knowledge, these |
are not able to differ
entiate and apply the method which |
experience would show to be the best |
method suited to the individual Pa
tient
DR.. Mayo now permits these state
ments to be made public in the hope
Of correcting an unfortunate impress
sion which has been spread bv many
newspapers in this country. Since his
return from Great Britain he has had
an enormous number of letters from
persons suffering from cancer, the
letters containing clippings from
newspapers in all parts of the Unit
ed States purporting to quote him as
saying, "There is no cure for can
GER" without reference to his basic
statement that surgical removal does
cure the disease. What DR.. Mayo
actually said was, "There is no med
cal cure for cancer"

instructions to trunk route main
tenance superintendent to arrange
for the removal of remaining signs on
state right-of-way was issued this
week by Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner. Only signs
expressly excepted by law are to be
left. The orders cover all displays
inside and in most cases on the fences
along the trunk routes. The signs
are to be taken down by the patrol
men and piled up at the roadside for
few days to allow owners to claim
them if they wish. Then they are to
be destroyed.
Bulletin boards for legal notices,
and markings of registered trails are
the main exceptions, and these must
be outside the ditch lines so as not
to interfere with the official trunk
route signs-markers, guides and
warnings carrying the official yellow
stars. City and Village guide signs
will be left only until the state STAN
dard type can be installed.
The same law applies to all public
roads and in many localities the road
officials are planning to take like
action.
Club women and other interested
parties plan to urge further action
by the next legislature to clear all
bill boards and advertising from the
private property as well as the road
right-of-way. This has been done in
many states, notably in Massachusetts
where displays are taxed on the prin-
ciple that their value is derived from
their proximity to the highway and
not from the land they occupy.

Wheat Prices in
Canada and the
United States.
Martin Widsten in the Crooks

Martin Widsten in the Crooks
ton Times.
Does the tariff of 80 cents a bushel
/ on wheat make any difference in the
price of wheat sold by farmers here :?
| Would it bring less money per bushel
| if there were no tariff ?
! The average man here will tell you
that it makes no difference, that the
price of wheat is governed by the ex-
/ port price, the price that the surplus
can be sold at. Governor Freus said
so in his speech at the park here last
summer Magnus Johnson says so
quite often. Most. everybody says So.
But at that they may all be mistaken.
Go across the boundary line and
mer and you will find him very indign-
ant about the tariff on wheat which
shuts his product out of the United
States markets, where the price is
higher than in Canada. If we could
only break down the tariff wall,
wheat raising would become profit
able they will tell you.
Duluth and Port Arthur are the
two great wheat export points on
Lake Superior. Freight rates from
the two ports to the Atlantic sea-
board should be about equal, Port
Arthur being nearer the coast by at
least 100 miles. So if the theory of
the wheat price being fixed by the
world market is correct the price in
those two export ports should be
equal, or within a cent or two.
In your daily newspapers you will
find the Duluth quotation on wheat
and the Winnipeg quotation on wheat.
The Winnipeg price is based on de-
livery at Port Arthur, and does not
represent what you can sell a bushel
of real wheat for in Winnipeg, but
does represent what you can sell a
bushel for at Port Arthur. So it is
really the Port Arthur quotation in
which the Winnipeg grain exchange
deals.
On Friday, Oct. IL, the price of the
highest grade of wheat in the two
markets was as follows:
Winnipeg port Arthur) ----981ac bu.
Duluth ---------------S1.2OR bu.
You will note that there is differ
ence of % cents per bushel, in favor
of Duluth. On top of this the highest
grade of Canadian wheat is supposed
to be better than the highest grade of
United States wheat. If this is true
the difference is even greater.
st. Vincent and Emerson are two
prairie villages along the Red River
about ninety miles north of Crooks
ton. They are about two miles apart,
and there is nothing else between
them than open fields and the inter-
national boundary line, the latter not
being visible to the naked eye unless
you know just where it is. If the
price Of wheat is set by the world
market it should be equal in these
villages, but it isn't. Here are the
figures for Oct. IL:
Emerson, in Canada bu.
st. Vincent, in U. S. ----S102 blu.
You will note that difference of
two miles makes a difference of Ia
cents a bushel. The value is 8 cents
a bushel closer together than in the
two export ports. That can be ac-
counted for mainly by the fact that
freight on wheat from Emerson to

Port Arthur is less than from ST.
Vincent to Duluth, for the reason
that the Canadian railroads are large
ly run by the government, which is
reported to have taken loss of some
$9O,OO0,O00 last year on its railroad
operations. If the American rail
roads took part of their expenses of
operation out of the national treasury,
as they do in Canada, the difference
in the price of wheat would probably
be 80 cents a bushel-the amount of
the tariff.
1t might also interest you that the
Port Arthur price on flax Oct. II was

price was 1888 per bushel. All that
