S. senate.” Judge Robinson's letter follows July 4, 1919. “We have met the enemy and they are ours.’ There is no more political speechmaking. By a@ great majority vote and by the de- cisions of the courts everything is conclusively settled. The state bank ‘has come to stay and to bless the people. Now we must:look for state mills, elevators and other public en- terprises such as have been tested and proven a grand ‘success in New Zealand. Of course, in a way, I am sorry for the defeat and disappoint- ment of my good friends the old lin- ers. I do not call them Bourbons or standpatters, but it were a mock- ery to call them progressives, and surely they have had no political Moses. Now for $50,000.

I am rather sorry that Miss Niel- son pitched into the political battle. ‘May be that she will fight well for the progressive party. ’ And now let me tell you of our progressive supreme court. Fifteen is the total number of appeals which remain undecided, and in a week tle number should be reduced to zero. Then we propose to adopt some pro- gressive court rules, to learn to write shorter and better decisions, to make our work a pleasure and keep right up with it. Then I will have more time to write of Moses and the Prophets, the starry heavens, the countless worlds and the land that is fairer than lay. Now let us turn to the dry bone statute. (H. B. 39, Chap, 136, Laws 1917). Under this statute in Ram- sey county one John Schultz was ar- rested and convicted for having in his possession fifteen pints of whis- key. He appealed to this court and the chief justice has just written a conclusive decision holding the sta- tute void, because it was never pass- ed by the senate. The decision is in accord with my several letters pub- lished in the Bismarck Tribune Octo- ber 23, November 1, 9, 16, 18 and Jan- uary 11, 1919. It is a matter of re- gret that the decision comes too late to save the lives of those who died for want of proper flu medicine, ‘but ‘t is not the fault of the court. The appeal was not filed until June, 1919 and my several letters to the press showed to a demonstration that the statute was a pure fake, because it was never passed by the senate. To that fake statute we may justly charge the deaths of several thous- ands of poor people. It is a cause of sad reflection that to prevent the deaths nothing was done such as the But. it will when 1 get the fifty lead. the] progres- people are now doing to prevent the || crop destruction by grasshoppers. In McLean county alone they have ex- pended $75,000 and have expressed hopper poison by the @arload, but neither the state nor any county or city expressed into the state a car- load of flu poison or flu medicine and our carriers, express agents and po- lice officers did all in their power to obstruct the delivery of such med!- cine and to deny relief to the sick and dying. It is all very sad to contem- plate. JAMES E. ROBINSON. FARMER DROPS DEAD AT WHEEL OF HIS AUTO Voltaire, N. D., July 5.—While en route to Velva to attend a Nonparti- san picnic, German Grene, a farmer of Lake Hester township, dropped dead from heart trouble at the wheel of his car. Oliver Stromme and two neighbors were passengers in the ma- chine. After crossing a grade the car slowed down and swerved to one side, and it was found that Grene, still grasping the wheel, was dead.

This dried, to a great extent, much of the territory. that has too-much moisture. In northwestern North Dakota good rains “have fallen the past week. One or two days the temperature was very thigh, accompanied by hot winds which haye no doubt had some effect on small grain, Southeastern North Dakota and the entire state of Montana are badly n need of rain. In Montana many streams which have in the past supplied water for irrigating purposes in the valleys and basins, have almost dried up. With the exception of a very few localities the state will have one of the lightest crops in its history. WHEAT HEADED OUT. In many districts throughout the northwest wheat is all headed. In the eastern and southern teritory it is in an exceptionally good shape and with the forcing weather we have had re- cently, harvest will be about as early as the average. Barley and oats are a little thin in some places, but on the whole are very satisfactory. Some of the late barley in North Dakota has been damaged by grasshoppers, but we find that the dam- age by these pests has been spotted and is more severe on ground where crops were stubbled in. The farmers are {still using poison, doing all they can in this way to stop the damage. SOUTH DAKOTA RYE LEADS. In South Dakota the rye crop is the best in the territory. Some of our correspondents advise that it may av- erage in their districts from to 30 bushels, while in others it is estimated from 10 to 15 bushels. In Minnesota ond eastern North Dakota the crop, as a rule, is thinner and estimates are around 15 bushels average. In the western part of North Dakota the hot winds have damaged the rye consider- ably, as it was in a stage susceptible to the heat. Warm weather has been very favor- able for corn and it has made rapid progress the past week. There has been # considerable amount of cultivation done and with favorable weather from now on the crop has a good promise. FLAX LOOKS GOOD. The condition of flax in Minnesota, South Dakota and eastern half of North Dakota is very favorable. In northwestern North Dakota the recent 1ains should improve the crop and car- ty it along for at least two weeks, un- extremely high temperatures should prevail. The flax conditions nve not changed in Montana since a week ago and it looks as though, even under the most favorable conditions, the flax crop of this state will be very small.—The Van Dusen Harrington Co. SLOPE MINER GOT HIS TIRES CHEAP Dickinson, N. D. July 5.—H. E. Thomas, a miner who has been work- ing at Zenith and Medora for som? time past, was fined $100 and sen- tenced to 35 days in jail upon plead- ing guilty to the theft of tires from a car owned by Ben Fritz of Lehigh. Thomas fitted out his own car with the stolen accessories, MUCH MONEY IN SCHOOL FUNDS Quarterly payments of interest on school bonds are now being receiv- ed by the state treasurer. One of the largest checks received this week was one for $17,000 from the Williston school district. 9 sent one man across the plate. WATER FAMINE: THREATENED AT THE QUEEN CITY Dickinson, N. D., July 5.—Dickinson is threatened with a water famine if the present drouth continues, W. J. Littlehales, superintendent of water, states that the city’s pumping equip- ment is being taxed to its utmost to keep the water at its usual level in the water tower. Water consumers have been advised that in case of fire domestic consumption of water must be immediately suspended in,or- der that there may be sufficien:. pres- sure to afford the city protection. BISMARCK HOST TO HUGE CROWD FOR THEFOURTH Streets and Hotels Filled With Celebrants of National ‘Birthday FINE SPORTS PROGRAMME Two Exciting Baseball Games Attract Record-Breaking Attendance Bismarck was host Friday to one of the biggest crowds which ever has celebrated the Fourth in the capital city. From early morning until long after midnight, the strdets, hotels, restaurants and refreshments places were jammed. It was a happy, care- free crowd; there was no disorder of any kind; everyone was in a holiday mood and on their best behaviour, and the day passed without a flaw. Fifteen hundred people, probably the largest aggregation of fans that ever has assembled at the capitol athletic park witnessed the afternoon game detween Hazelton and Bis- marck, which resulted in a 11 to 10 victory for the visitors. Bismarck seemed to have the game sewed up in the early stage of the battle, run- ning in five scores before Hazele® a. zelton rallied in its half of the fourth and scored four men, but Bismarck came back with five, increasing its lead. That, however, ended the run- getting for Patzman’s Colts, while Hazelton kept on going, scoring two in the fifty, one in the sixth and ty- ing its hosts in the eighth. The win- ning run was batted in in the ninth inning, and Hazelton -earried off the honors. ; A much closer game was witnessed in the evening between Wilton and Bismarck, when the Lignite City took a hotly contested victory from the Colts by a’score of 3 to 1. Bismarck’s solitary run was made in the ninth inning, while Wilton scored two in the fourth and one in the fifth. How They Ran.

The Fourth of July parade, an event of the morning, made up in quality what it lacked in quantity. A num- ber of veterans of the ‘world war were in line, and there were some very unique and attractive floats. John Bortell, as usual, took the prize for originality with his land-going battleship. Bismarckers have come to expect something unusual in the way of originality from Mr. Bortell, and they were not disappointed yester- day. A genuine patriotic appeal was con- tained in the float representing the Bismarck recruiting office. An army truck was used as a ‘stage for Uncle Sam and Miss Columbia, in a tableau “Columbia Calle.” A group of world war veterans in uniform provided suitable athomspere. Many beautifully trimmed automo- biles added charm to the parade, which was witnessed by thousands. The Elks’ band furnished music for the marchers and did excellent work in concerts throughout the day. Sports Program. The miscellaneous sports program furnished fun for everyone. Prizes were awarded as follows: 100-yard dash, Roberts, first; De- van, second. Fat men’s race, Morris, first; Fitz- simmons, second.: Girls’ race, Jeannette Hamre, first; Annie Katz, second. ’ Boys’ race, Manuel Brown, John Daurit, second. Base running, Kinel, first. Davis, second. There was also a broncho-busting exhibition and a _mirth-provoking mule-wrangling, for which a prize was awarded by the Bismarck fire depart- ment. The day's festivities ended with a pavement dance in the evening which was enjoyed by fully 1,000 people. Music was furnished by O’Connor’s orchestra, and the good time contin- ued until long after midnight. HARTUNG FORCED ' STOCK TICKET Dickinson, N. D. July 5.—T. N. Hartung, sheriff of. Stark county, pleaded guilty in federal court at Bismarck to forging a name on a stock ticket. The act, it is alleged, was committed a year ago, when Hartung went to St. Paul to arrest Ben Sisley on a larceny charge. Sis- ley, who had accompanied a load of cattle to market, had two tickets for transportation. Upon one of these, it is alleged, Hartung forged the name of the man for whom it was original- ly issued, Al Hilke of Belfield. Har- tung was arraigned under the trans- portation act of 1887.

It provides. that all German troops shall leave Riga and that the Germans ‘shall evacuate Let- via at the earliest opportunity. PROCLAIM REPUBLIC. London, July 5.—The Irish Alliance asserts that the first act of any freely elected parliament in full control of Irish economic and military resour- ces would be to proclaim an Irish republic. The “Alliance” trust and believes that those concerned for the peace, order and progress of Ireland will res- olutely decline to support a policy which, if successful, would constitute a material danger of the first mag- nitude, ” A manifesto issued June £7 by the Irish Dominion League” proposed the establishment of self-government in Ireland, but with Ireland remaining within the British empire. REVOLUTION GBTS QUICK ACTION IN PERU Augusto B. Leguia, New Presi- dent of South American Republic Lima, Peru, Friday,, July 4.—Au- gusto B. Leguia, late today assumed office as provisional president of Peru and took up his residence in the government palace as a result of the successful overthrow early in the day of President Pardo, ” Senior Pardo, his ministers and a number of high officials of the army and navy are in prison. Pardo is detained in the penitentiary here. Virtually no fighting and no casual- ties marked the overthrow of the Pardo government. Senor Leguia is supported by virtually all the army and navy officials and public opin- ion apparently is ‘behind him. The revolution began at.three this morning by an attack on the palace by two regiments of troops and a 'force of police. By 6 o'clock Senor Pardo had been deposed, and Senor Leguia proclaimed provisional presi- dent. The movement was similar te that which resulted in the overthrow of President Billinghurst on Febru- ary 4, 1914. It was announced late today that President Pardo would be placed on trial on charges of having violated the constitution and of having conspired against the institutions of the repub- lic. Two soldiers were killed and three others including a subordinate officer, were killed in the overthrow of the government forces at Lima. i Officials in prison included the min- ister of war, the chief of staff of the navy, and the priest of Callao. The chief of staff of the army and forty of his subordinates escaped. Because of the situation, the Fourth of July reception, to have been held by the American legation was can- celled. $11,000 STOCK DIVIDEND YEAR’S “CO-OP” MELON Hazelton, N. D., July 5—A stock dividend of $11,000 was declared by the Farmers’ Union Elevator Co. at its annual meeting, when the capital of the company was increased from $10,000 to $25,000, to provide for the purchase of the Batzer Implement Co., and a cash reserve of $11,000 was applied to the purchase of addi- tional shares to be prorated among the members as a dividend on the last year’s business, DIRIGIBLE ASKS NAVY OFFICIALS FOR ASSISTANCE R-34 Is Now Noted Flying Over Nova Scotia — Fuel Is Getting Low TWO GIANT BIRDS IN AIR Big Dirigible and Huge Biplane Headed for Roosevelt Field, "Near Mineola Washington, July 5.—The British dirigible R-34 has asked the navy de- partment if an American destroyer could meet her at the Bay of Funday and take her in tow if desired. The message was received at the depart- ment at 11 a. m., five minutes after one addressed to the British admiralty reported that the R-34’s fuel supply was getting low. The ship was then flying across Nova Scotia. Two American destroyers were ord- ered today to proceed toward the Bay of Fundy to lend any required assist- ance to the British derigivle R-34! which reported that she was fighting a head wind over Nova Scotia with her fuel supply getting low. The destroyers wil] put out from Boston with orders to establish radio communication with the dirigible as quickly as possible, and also to keep in touch with the Otter cliff main wireless station. Lieut. Col. Lucas believed that! Major -Scott’s. message was sent by | him after the R-34’s call for aid. Lieut. | Col. ‘Lucas thought it probable the | dirigible would have to land to refuel but then would proceed on her journey to Mineola. Almost out of fuel, after her long run from East Fortune, Scotland, the British dirigible R-34 asked the navy department late. this afternoon wheth- er destroyers were being sent to her assistance. The messages were re- ceived at 1:15 p. m. and whn sent the R-34 was still over Nova Scotia. This message was sent to the R-34 by vadio: “U. S. Satilla left Cross island, Maine, at 12:40 p m. to assist you. Two destroyers leaving Boston will communicate with you.” Mineola, N. Y., July 5—The R-34 will arrive at Roosevelt Field Sunday morning, according to Major Scott, her commander, in a wireless dispatch received today. According to the information re- ceived by Lt. Col. Lucas, two destroy- ers have been sent at full speed in response to a call for assistance from EAR BAY OF FUNDY Halifax, July 5—A wireless mes- sage received here by admiralty offi- cials at 12:30 o’clock stated that the R-34 was at the south end of the Bay of Fundy, between Yarmouth and the Grand Manan. SEND ESCORT Boston, July 5.—The navy converted yacht Satilla, sailed this afternoon from Nachiaf Bay, Maine, to the as- sistance of the R-34. It is thought that she will come up with the dirigi- ble about five o’clock. The cruisers Kalk and Bellard are being made ready at the Boston navy yard, and will proceed to the Bay of Fundy if they can get under way in time to be of assistance. WORLD'S GREATEST AIRSHIPS. New York, July 5.—The R-34 and her sister airship the R-3, and the world’s greatest dirigibles. The war brought them into being, for they were original- ly designed to out-vie Germany's Zep- pelins and bring death and destruction to German cities, When they were building it was reported that they would be the flagshps of a gigantic fleet of aircraft that would be launched on a tremendous raid on Berlin, For this purpose they were equipped with op- enings through which four 800-pound bombs and sixteen of 120 pounds could be dropped, while on the upper struc- ture emplacements were built for bat- teries of eight guns, The sudden end of the world war put a stop to plans for a raid on Ber- lin and the architects of the dirigibles turned their attention to remodeling their craft for peaceful purposes. But their plans were again interrupted in Tune when the war clouds gathered on reports that Germany would refuse to accept the allied peace terms. The R-34 was swiftly put in war trim and start- ed on @ cruise of 2,000 miles over the Baltic and the German coast regions. She carried no bombs, but, equipped with rapid firing guns, swept over the enemy’s territory at a low altitude, her enormous shadow making a grim threat of possibilities. The cruise was made without mis- hap and when peace finally was assur- ed the crew of the R-34 resumed opera- ations for the flight to Amerca, Orig- inally it was planned that the voyage should be made by the R-33 also, but it was decided that too much time would be needed to remodel the sister ship. RIVALS OCEAN LINER. The R-34 was built in Inchinnan, near Glasgow. In she rivals all but the very largest ocean liners, Her length is 640 feet, her beam 79 feet and fiom the bottom of her lowest gondola to the top of the gas bag mesures 79 MRS. C.

D., July 5.—Mrs. C. J. Fisk, wife of Judge Fisk of Minot, former chief justice of the North Dakota supreme court, was killed instantly; Ruth Stahl, 14-year-old daughter of H. H. Stahl of Minot, died three hours later from injuries, and a farmer named Chris. Denker from Drak e, sustained injuries that it was first thought would prove fatal, when the airplane of Lieut. Ches- ter Jacobson, Minot aviator, performing in connection with the homecoming celebration here, crashed into a crowd as he landed after his afternoon’s flight. The crowd, despite repeated warnings from the police, crowded into a vacant lot on the outskirts of the city which Jacobson used for a landing place, cars were run up ‘too close, and when the avia- tor went to land, he saw the space was not large enough without crashing into cars, so he attempted to soar again. The cars were too close to permit a free ascent, and the plane crashed into the machines. Ruth Stahl was sitting alone in the front car, owned by Clar- ence Parker, a local hotel proprietor. The top was torn off the car, and the Stahl girl was thrown out. The plane then hit the auto in which Denker and his family were sitting. The wife and children ducked their heads and missed being hit, but Denker was struck. Judge Fisk and family were sitting in their car behind Denker. When they saw the machine coming down, the judge and two daughters, Doris and Helen, ju imped out and avoided injuries. Some part of the plane hit Mrs. Fisk on the forehead, and she died almost instantly. The Stahl girl, Denker and others who were shaken u rushed to a hospital where the former died at 6:10 last wane. Denker’s skull was fractured. Doctors who overated on him shortly after the accident state he has a fair chance of recovery.

Shulberg said the offiec employes ter the accident occurred, stunned the hundreds of friends of the Fisk family in the capital city and cast a pall over. the Independence day celebraticn here for those who had known the former chief ‘justice and Mrs Fisk during their long residence in Bis- marck. Judge and Mrs. Fisk and their two daughters, Helen and Doris, the latter then aged twelve ten, respect- ively, came to Bismarck in Jaruary, 1907, Judge Fisk having been elected to the supreme bench the previous November. They immediately en- tered into the social life of the city and established a wide circle of friends, They continued to make Bis- marck their home during the nine years which Judge Fisk spent on the supreme bench, leaving for Minot in 1917, when Judge Fisk engaged in law practice with Francis W. Murphy, formerly assistant attorney general. Mrs. Fisk was born in Whiteside county, Illinois, and was prior to her marriage Miss Ida M. Myers. She was united in marriage with C. J. Fisk. who had just completed his law stud- ies, at Sterling, Ill, on October 20, 1886, and the same year the young couple came to North Dakota and took up their home at Larimore, where Judge Fisk engaged in law practice with W. H. Fellows, a pioneer lawyer of distinction. Later Judge and Mrs. Fisk moved to Grand Forks, where he engaged in practice with Judge John M. Cochrange, one of the ‘brilliant jurists of territorfal efad early state-hood days. Judge Fisk was nominated by the democrats to be judge of the First district in 1896, and he continued to serve in this capacity until elected to the supreme bench in 1906. Three children were born to Judge and Mrs. Fisk at Grand Forks— Misses Helen and Doris and a third child, who died in infancy.
