GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADE IN FINDING RANGE Four Hundred Acres of Grazing Land Already Assured for Northwestern Stock Minneapolis, Minn., July 17.—-Of a total of 1,009,000 acres of grazing Jands throughout the Northwest piaced at the disposal of stockmen of ‘Montana, Wyoming and Northwestern North D: a, whose pasturage has been killed this summer by drought, more than 400,000 a been of- fered free of cost by f and oth- ers in Northern Minnesota. This fact was Drought out at a con- ference this morning the Old Cap- itol in St. Paul to devise relief for stockmen; called by George M. Rom- mel, chief of the bureau of animal in- dustry of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. The conference was attended “by livestock men and ex- shington and the states Michigan, Montana, of Minnesota, Idaho, and other states nearby. Immediate Relief Needed.

Some real bargains, MISSOURI VALLEY MOTOR COMPANY ’ Bismarck, N. D. ers representing Montana, Minnesota and the government. Drought has withered up the feed of Montana to such an extent that vast numbers of cattle, sheep and horses are in dan- ger of starving, a fate which some ; already have met. Mr. Rommel furnished estimates on the stock to ‘be moved. They are 50,- 000 cattle, 330,000 old sheep and 500,- 000 lambs. The figures are based on a census taken by the forest service in Montana. W. L. Beers of the state agricultur- al college at Bozeman, Mont., estimat- ed that the number of cattle might be 750,000, but he said that such a figure is prodably too high. J. H. Hays, deputy commissioner in the recently organized Minnesota state department of agriculture, de- clared that 450,000 acres of land have been offered for listing in Minnesota. J. M. Brander, of the extension serv- ice, Montana state college of agricul- ture, placed the number of offered acres at 1,000,000 but said that of this only about 500,000 ccres are suit- ble. Work Out Plans Today. The morning session was given over to a discussion of the general situation. Late today the details of the plan by which the livestock will ‘be collected in Montana, transported, and distributed in Minnesota, will be worked out. . Many difficulties are foreseen in transportation. It is understood that the Railroad administration is ready to lower freight shipment. This will a out today, James Harris, tive ‘of the administration, said Montana aims to check the exodus of farmers, which has in fact started, find pasturage to which to send its livestock and provide means to ship feed in for the animals not shipped out, Mr. Eeers said. The government was represented by men from the bureaus of animal industry of mar- kets, the railroad administration, the federal reserve board. CROP DAMAGE IS OVERESTIMATED SAYS MACDOWELL North Dakota Liberty Loan Chieftain Says Losses Not So Great as Reported Minneapolis, Minn, July 17.—Wes- ley C. McDowell of Marion, N. D., state chairman of the Liberty Loan committee, and former president of the First State bank of Marion, is in Minneapolis today checking up liberty loan matters. He says' the people of his state are underestimating their crops—that they will be better than now seems to be the case. “In the western part of the state,” he said, ‘continued dry weather has affected small grains, pasturage and hay, but there will be at least 50 per cent of an average crop ,in those sections. The entire estern part of the state will produce big crops. Bowbells, in the northn- western part of the state, will run 10 to 15 bushels to the acre on spring wheat. Cando will have better than an average crop, but that district needs rain. Williams county will have a half crop. West of Bismare the country has een hard hit and crops are poor and hay and pastur- age are nearly a total loss, “Farmers are shipping their beef stock out, saving only cows,” says Mr. McDowell, “Divide county is suffering seriously from the drought, ‘but spring wheat there should go 6 to 10 bushels to the acre. There will be no oats or barley in Hettinger county, particularly in the district around Reeder. Wheat cutting around Minot will ‘begin Monday and will run 10 to 15 bushels to the acre, Hay is poor and needs rain, but other crops are coming along in good shape.” Tribune Want Ads bring results. dite| Building Constructions, BISMARCK. ENJOYS GREAT PROSPERITY, Bank Clearings and Postal Receipts Show Big Increase Business in Bismarck is excep- tionally good and such generally ac- cepted indications of prosperity as bank clearings, transfer of property, municipal improvements and build- ing construction all show considera- ble increases and continued activity. Register of Deeds Keenan_ stated today that the work of his office dur- ing the summer months has ‘not been as heavy as it is at present in many years. Quite a large amount of country property is involved in the |trnsactions recorded by him, but the big majority of the business consists of city property. The same is true of bank clearings for the city. The local banks aro handling a comparatively large vol- ume of business for the summer sea- son and the daily and weekly clear- ings show that there is more activity than in previous summers. Postal receipts have also increased, the city showing a larger increase than the county business. It is _ex- pected that the quarter ending Sep- tember, which will include the sum- mer months, will show the largest collections ever made ‘by the Bis- marck postoffice during summers of record. Building Boom On. Building construction and the street paving on the west side are also indications of the prosperity of the city. The construction compa- nies and architects are very busy, it is understood. This condition will undoubtedly prevail well into the winter and it is hoped that the hous- ing conditions in this city will be considerably improved before Chris:- mas. At the present itme it is be- lieved there is not a vacant house or apartment in the city. KNITTING YARN IS MADE INTO SHAWLS AND CLOTH Sixty-five tons of knitting yarn, originally purchased by the Ameri- can Red Cross for the making of socks and sweaters for the American soldiers, has been manufactured into 78,000 yards of cloth, and 33,000 shawls 50 inches square and shipped abroad to help provide for the destitute war sufferers of Eu- rope. In addition, the American Red Cross ‘has, since the first of the year, shipped 1,060,617 pounds of yarn and more than 22,500,000 yards of mate- rial for the making of garments— textiles valued at $11,295,141, and in- cluding dress goods, canton flannel, outing flannel, bathrobing, etc. GIRL SLAYER GIGGLES AS SHE Giggling: as. though | ’twere‘ a’ holi- told a coroner’s” jury .how. she. shot day -lark, Margaret .

The town was occupied Monday. HAS HAD STORMY CAREER. Ekaterinburg, the center of the Ur- al mining region, has been one of the main supply ‘bases of the northern wing of the Kolchak army. If the re- port of the capture is true the Kolchak forces ‘have lost their last important base north of the Trans- Siberian railway north of Tchelia- bensk. The bolsheviki reported the capture of Perm in a dispatch through London July 2. ‘Where Nicholas Disappeared. One year ago yesterday, July 16, 1918, Nicholas Romanoff, former em- peror of Russia, disappeared from Ekaterinburg, and reports that he had been massacreed by the Ural soviets on that day have not been disproved. The town was captured ‘by Rusian forces within a month after the disappearance of the former emperor. The city also was the scene of the death of several other members of the Russian royal family. POISONED BRAN DOES NOT HARM FARM CROPS Several complaints have been reg- istered with.some ef the county offi- cials‘ about the use. of poisoned bran in eradicating the grasshoppers, ‘be- cause of the supposed danger to However, it has been stated by farm- ers who have used arsenic in their bran mixture, it does not effect chick- ens in the least and that it has been conclusively proven that in no way does it effect the crops. “Farmers have stated ‘to me,” said County Treasurer Penwarden today, “that they have seen any number of chickens eat bran that had arsenic in it, but that it never harmed the chick- ens. We have also been told by well informed agriculturists that the pois- oned bran will not harm the crops and from what we have seen of it we are convinced that this {s true.” CAIRN’S SECRET MAY BE VIGILANTES’ PREY | Belt, Mont., July 16—On the Na. thaniel Webb ranch, near Bird Tail, in this section, here has stood, since the memory of ‘the oldest in- habitant, a peculiar pile of rocks. It has always been thought to be a@ cairn, but until recently, nobody has had time or inclination to inves- tigate. The rocks were removed the other day, and the perfectly preserved skeleton of a man was found be- neath them. A few scattered rags indicated that the dead man wore civilian garb, but whether he was white er red or how he came to lie there, nobody knows. There is a tradition that the Vigi- lantes ran down and executed a bad man in this section’ more than a half century ago,.and {ft is thought the skeleton may ibe that of the outlaw. The.
