D., June 8—At 3 o'clock Wednesday morning the: local yolunteer fire department was called out to one of the Cooke cottages in the western part of town to find that several old burlap sacks soaked with kerosene had been carefully placed under the joists in the basement and set afire, directly under one of the The fire was soon under control, as it had- not gained much headway for lack @ draft. Up- on. further investigation it was, found that a hole had been drilled into the plaster and through the lath from the kitchen and kerosene poured into it. This was directly above the planted fire in the basement. The house was occupied by Her- man Hohenstein and family, who were all sound asleep, when at about 3 o'clock the baby’s crying awoke the parents, who discovered the house filled. with choking smoke, and sent in a fire alarm. ‘No definite clew has as yet been found of the culprit, but a thorough investigation has been in- stituted. Fire Five Weeks Ago. About five weeks ago a frame build- ing on Main street burned to. the ground. At that time the weather was dry, and the fire had gained such headway that only the adjoining frame postoffice building was ‘saved ‘by the heroic efforts of the fire de- partment. It is thought that this fire was also set, but no positive evidence has thus far been secured. The mat- ter, however, is reaching a serious stage, and no effort will be spared to put a stop to such lawlessness, LARGER: SCHOGLS OF MORTON COUNTY WILL CLOSE fat THE.

MOVE TO CHANGE MANDAN TIME IS. BEING OPPOSED Prominent Business Men Believe City Would Surrender Val- uable Distinction A movement is under way in Man- dan to change the time from Moun: tain to Central time. After consist- ent effort the promoters have secured the permission of President J. M. Han- naford of the Northern Pacific to have the time changed at the shops to con- form with the city time if it proves desirable to make the change. Just what success the promoters will meet is not known. Mandan is closer to the correct time now than it would be if it were to change to Central time, the time belt line being alout 2% miles west of Mandan. A leading business man is circulat- ing a petition to not have the time changed, believing that it will injure Mandan in an advertising way, as this ‘being the place to change time gives city a certain distinction not many cities possess. It has been sug: gested that'if the business men de- sire to change the time so far as the daylight argument is concerned, to all agree to open an hour earlier and close an hour earlier. OPPORTUNE RAINS MEAN BiG. CROPS FOR GRAIN BELT Federal Reserve Agent Optimistic Over Outlook for Humper Harvest in Northwest St. Paul, Minn., June 8—Opportune rains during the last week of May and the first few days of June have greatly improved the already excel- lent crop prospects in Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. North Dakota was not so fortunate and’stands in need of a soaking rain that will cover the entire district. The weather station at Bismarck re- ports the driest, May in 42 years. "The western end of: the state, part of the southern portion and parts of the eastern portion have had ‘the benefit of moderate showers. The remainder of the state has not benefited. Rye has already been severely damaged, and there is a possibility that if rain .| does: not come within a few days, that wheat*too, may begin to show injury from dry weather. Crop Acreage Increased It is now evidence that over the district as a whole the crop acreage has been considerably increased. In Montana, where there was consider- able winter killed wheat, the damage has been repaired by spring plant- ing, and in the Yellowstone Valley, and generally through the eastern portion, a very large crop has gone into the ground. North Dakota’s acreage is the largest in the history of the state, due to the remarkable campaign for a record breaking acre- age which was conducted by banks and bankers. The wheat -acreage is is from 5 to 7 per cent greater than a year ago. There are good increases in barley and oats, and a substantial increase in the amount:of flax plant- ed. Crop production work undertak- en by the North Dakota banks has-in- volved several million dollars “of loans, and credit has been freely ex- tended to all reputable farmers. Early June Rains Help Should North, Dakota receive the early June rains that are now need- ed, the outlook for the district as a whole will be as good as. the north- west has ever had at this season of the year. Canadian reports are not ‘encouraging. The wheat acreage .is considerably less than normal, and planting was generally late in the northwest provinces. The yield that may beeexpected from the wheat ter- ritory in the Canadian Northwest will be reduced to such an extent as to iderable burden upon the grain raising sections of this district. This is a factor of importance in con- nection with the prospective wheat supply of the United States and its al- lies, and is considered as further evi- dence that farmers will receive very favorable prices for wheat this fall, as well as good returns upon other small grains and corn. Under these conditions, the crop in this district, if it matures without setbacks, will be extremely profitable, and will bring great prosperity in its wake. The business outlook at the larger centers is generally good, except that construction is somewhat interfered with by the high price of labor and materials. The electrical trade, and classes of labor such as carpenters, plumbers and steamfitters, and others that are dependent upon business and residence building, have suffered somewhat. The buying power of the people seems to be in no way im- paired, as is evidenced by the very satisfactory volume of retail trade, and a good demand from all country points upon the shippers and distribu- ting houses of the cities. Country re- tailers are ordering carefully, and on account of high prices, have been keeping their stocks down to moder- ate size. The difficulties with many classes of goods that have been slow in coming forward from the’ manu- facturers, still continue. Eastern con- cerns, especially those affected by war orders, are far behind on deliv- eries. FOR SALE—A lot of 30-inch wrap- ping paper 9c per lb. by the roll.
