DEMAND FOR MENCARDINAL
IS HEAVY
Estimated That Over 12,000
Hands are Needed for Har
vest Fields.
REPORTS, HOWEVER, THOUGHT
TO BE EXAGGERATED.
Many Laborers Taking Advantage
of Special Rates to the
West.
It is claimed that 12,000 more
men are required to harvest the
spring "wheat crop in Minnesota
and the Dakotas Some estim
ates of the number of men need
ed are as high as 17,000. This is
in addition to the supply of labor
on the ground at all times in the
Northwest.
Reports received in Duluth
and the Twin Cities are to the
effect that 7,000 men are required
the territory traversed by the
Great Northern and 5,000 in the
region tributary to the Northern
Pacific. Men are also in demand
on the lines of the Burlington,
Soo and Milwaukee roads.
If reports from the wheat
country are to believed, harvest
hands are wanted by the train
loads. Wheat cutting will be
general this week in North
Dakota, particularly in the south
ern part. Wages range from $2
to $3 a day and board.
Harvest rates went into effect
last week and many have taken
advantage of them. Special
trains may be run to transport
men to the wheat belt. It is
thought that reports sent from
the west as to the number of men
needed are exaggerated. The
farmers are desirous of getting
as many men as possible to the
-harvest fields, to do away with
all possibility of a labor famine,
and to keep the wages down.

him Dr. Janeway of New York,
and other physicians, has purch

G. W. Abbot Here.
G. W. Abbott, president of the
Culton State Bank and secretary
treasurer of the Union Savings
Association of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
spent the day with F. N. Lang,
looking over the loans made by
the savings association in this
city. This association has been
in operation for eleven years,
passing safely through the panic
and it is now maturing and pay
ing off the stock that is maturing
at the rate of eight thousand
dollars per month. The com
pany is carrying nearly $300,000
in loans and has but 8400,000 of
property on hand. The success
of this association has been the
result of making only Jsafe loans
and by keeping? its running ex
penses down to one per cent per
year on the money handled.
Both of the bank examiners of
South Dakota and Minnesota
frankly admit that this company
conducts its business upon the
smallest expense but has been
the most successful in its loans
of any association in the west.
BIG JULY BUSINESS.
Shipments From the Port of Superior
Have Been Very Heavy.
Superior, Wis., Aug. 5,The port re
port for the month of July has Just
been issued at the office of the cus
toms officials of the city. It shows
that there is an ever increasing busi
ness at this port, and the increase
over the same month a year ago is
very gratifying. Particularly is this
true in the matter of grain and Iron
ore, the iron ore showing a large in
crease. It is expected that by next
spring things will be so arranged that
this will be the biggest commodity in
the shipments here. The three ore
docks will then be in good working
order, something that has not been
true up to the present time, the third
dock having just been built and put in
use this aprinx and summer.

CIRCUS DAY
Gentry Bros. Parade Was a Good
One and Attracted Larue
Crowds.
This is circus day.
(lentry Bros.' famous trained
animal show gives two exhibi
tions in Bemidji today, afternoon
and evening. The parade this
morning attracted largo crowds,
and the sidewalks were well
tilled with people when it, was
passing-.
There were dogs,
ponies and monkeys in a bund
ance, all seeming to be perfectly
happy in their'position as show
people. The dogs, which wore
particularly numerous, were
loose on the wagons but showed
no inclination to leave their high
perches and associate with the
common canines of the town.
The parade was a long one and
judging by it the show itself
must be as good as is generally
reported. The tents are pitched
on the old ball grounds.

WATER SCARCE
Beer Was Used to Extinguish a
Fire at the Town of
Funkley.
.Funkley is a new town and has
a new way of doing business.
Beer is commoner than water,
judging by a report which comes
down the M. & 1.
But for the prompt action of a
bartender, Ole Johnson, a labor
er, would have been seriously if
not fatally injured at Funkley
Monday. Mr. Johnson was in
toxicated and in trying to light a
cigar with an electric appliance,
his celluloid collar caught fire,
and instantly his head was en
veloped in Maine. No water was
at hand, but the bartender
grabbed him and threw him to
the floor behind the bar and
opened the beer faucet onto his
head until the fire was out.
.Johnson was drunker than ever
when he stood up, and nearly
drowned, for all the liquor which
entered his mouth did not
down the rijdit channel.
