One region has reported conditions better than the average; another district in the same territory has reported every- thing shot to pieces. Both have been right, according to the testimony of experts interviewed for the Tribune. Both Good and Bad. “I have seen some of the best and some of the poorest crops I ever want to see in North Dakota,” said Dr. W. F. Crewe, secretary of the livestock sanitary board, on his re- turn this morning from Grand Forks, where he inspected livestock for ad- mission to the fag. “Within a space of ten miles one can find conditions so radically dif- ferent that it almost surpasses be- lief,” said Dr. Crewe. “I talked with a farmer ten miles south of Leeds who has 2,000 acres in grain and who told me he will have the best crop he has ever raised At Grafton, where crops seemed a total loss a few days ago, a heavy, soaking rain has made such a change that everyone now pre- dicts a better tlyn average crop. I have seen wheat that easily will go 25 bushels to the acre, and in the same township I have seen fields ‘be- ing plowed under ‘because they would not pay for threshing. At James- town things are in a very ‘bad shape, but as you approach Valley City con- ditions begin to improve, and through- out the Red River valley prospects are bright. There are some bad dry spots around Devils Lake, and there are also some very good tracts of OHNSON’S + Sismarck: 's Fastest WASH SUITS Colors are pink, blue and Regular $12.50.

These conditions are due to the fact that all have been local showers. had one good, general soaking rain since the seed went into the ground." Soo Line Suffers. R. B. Williams, advertising counsel. or and idea man, finds conditions in general throughout the state unen- couraging. West of Dickinson, he re- ports burnt up. North, along the Soo Line and ‘bordering the Pingree-Wil- ton line, crops are suffering ‘badly, he states. From Bismarck to .Garri- son' and Max, along the Soo Line, grain fields and pastures are suffer- ing. Many hundreds of acres in this territory, says Mr, Williams, never will see the ‘binder. It is dry north of Dickinson and in the Kildeer country, except for a spot surrounding Center. South of New Salem, for 15 miles in the Heart river district, and thence down to the Mott line and in the vicinity of Flash- er, New Leipzig and Elgin, conditions are promising. “They are looking forward to a 10-bushel crop there,” says Mr. Williams, “and if they have any luck with the ever-illusive cloud they will get it. Best Portion of Slope. “Possibly the best portion of the Slope country,” says Mr. Williams, “lies: south of Fort Lincoln and on down through Emmons county. Much has a chance of making 15 to 20 ‘bush- els. Business men of Braddock and Hazelton are very optimistic. Taking the Slope in general, from Marmarth to Trotters and from Ellendale to Pingree, the outlook is not in tha least encouraging, and the present estimate of what we shall get in the fall runs from 5 to 7 bushels per acre on the average.” Outlook Disappointing. A trip from (Bismarck to Minot and from Kenmare to Whitetail, Mont., proved very disappointing to F. C. Grigbe, secretary of the ‘Atlan- tic Elevator Co. who writes from (Minneapolis to the state railway com- mission: “Betweeg Bismarck. ‘and Minot they will-raise something over feed :and) flog, Urequirementy, | THO! greatest calamity in the Minot dis- trict, according to my ‘way of Ioéking at it, is the feed proposition, which is very serious. This applies from Minot to Kenmare. From Kenmare to Whitetail, Mont., conditions - are better, ‘but crops are very late. With a favorable fall they may make a fatrly decent crop, especially of flax.” To Feed in Canada. ‘Cattlemen jn the Kenmare country, reports Dr. Crewe, are almost at the end of their rope for grazing, and many plan to ship their herds into Canada to feed or to sell them off. There seems to be no chance of get- ting enough feed to carry them over the winter here. Good rains now may revit une pastures, but it is too late UR eal cet ot oe owner of 2,100 acres near Mayville, expects a crop of between 10 and 12 bushels of wheat an acre this year. F. B. Wood of Deering, owner of 1,100 acres, and who spent $2,800 in seed alone last spring, said he did not expect his crop to pay expenses. Lack of rain was the cause. Although Minnesota crop reports were fine and also those from the Red River valley district, North Da- kota and Montana conditions were reported poor today.

FARGO BOY DROWNS IN RED RIVER Fargo, N .D., July 20.—Jordan ide, 9-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Eide of the Lavine hotel on lower Front street, was drowned in the Red river yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, a few feet south of fhe Northern Pa- cific railway bridge., His 11- year-old companion, Harry Brandon, was. res- cued from a similar fate by Charles Feiste, a well known character about the river front, who leaped’ into the swiftly flowing river, seized the strug- gling lad and swam to shore with him. By the time Feiste had Brandon safely of the shore, little Jordan had disappeared under the surface and Feiste’s efforts to find him were fruit- less. True to its character, the river was reluctant to give up its dead, and at an early hour this morning the searchers were still combing the river bottom with hooks, trying to lo- cate the body. ‘The two little doys, neither of whom could swim, had undressed un- der the railroad bridge and were playing about in the shallow water just south of the bridge. Witnesses say that one of the boys ee the: Bismarck other out a little way into the river, and the other then seized the first one and puly:d &im out,” too. Sud- denly the swift current at that point seized both of them and threw them off their feet, sweeping them out into the deep water.
