July at Loraine completely destroyed F. J. E. Bolton's blacksmith shop and acetylene welding plant, and A. D.

Ketcham's barn and other small outbuildings totalling a loss of $3,500. Mr. Bolton's loss was about $3,000. How the fire originated is a mystery, and circumstances lead some to believe that it was of incendiary origin. It was discovered a little -after midnight, but had gained such headway that only by strenuous, efforts was it possible to save the Ketcham house.

The loss is a heavy one for Mr. Bolton, who had built up a substantial business since locating in Loraine in 1908. He enjoyed a splendid patronage and may in response to the pressure being brought to bear on him by his customers. Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.

MIMES NAKE CHANGES IN NORTH DAKOTA JAMESTOWN ATTORNEY 1 Mandan, July indicating the change in conditions wrought by the advent of the dairy cow on the farms in Morton county, one farmer living northwest of the city tells that two years ago he attended a sale at a place near Crown Bytte when 90 per cent of the sales were settled for by notes, only 10 per cent being in cash. A few days ago a sale was held on the Nels Ellison place in the same vicinity and this year over 90 per cent of the sales were settled for in cash, there being less than ten per cent in paper. Hundreds of dairy cows are to be found in his long experience in the bankwhich farmers have is for the most part credited to the faithful cow. Another illustration.

A Mandan banker says that for the first time nhis long experience in the banking business in Mandan the first week in July passed by without his making a single loan to a farmer. In other years farmers have been helped along particularly at this season with small loans, even spending money for the Fourth was often secured by making small loans. The good crop of 1914 has something to do with this improvement, but more that anything else this banker attributes the ready money the farmers have to the service rendered by the faithful dairy cow.

THE WEEKLY TIMES-RECORD, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1915 PACKERS NEED FEDERAL AID Washington, July difficulties of the American meat packers with Great Britain over'the detention of their cargoes to neutral countries will be taken up by the state department in a note to the British government it is stated here. Packers who appealed to the Washington government to demand that Great Britain stop interfering w4th their cargoes consigned to neutral ports, and settle for $14,000,000 worth of their products now held up in prize courts continued their conferences with state department officials.

The American note to Great Britain which it is said will be sent immediately will deal specifically with the complaint of the packers. The general subject of the interference with neutral trade under the British order in council will form the subject of another communication to Great Britain. The American meat packers in conference here with the state department, seeking relief from the British detention of some $14,000,000 of cargoes to European neutrals have been asked by representatives of cotton growers, livestock interests affected by the war, to join in a general conference, having for its object a proposal for a special session of congress to deal with the rights of neutrals. It also would take up the question providing shipping facilities for Americans. Postmaster Rearick from Cooperstown was in town Thursday and registered at the Kindred.

Thousands of natives lived on house boats on the river. Department officials pointed out probably a great number of them have perished. LACK RECRUITS FOR CHAIN GANG Fargo, N. July are fewer human derelicits in Fargo since the Moorhead saloons were closed. The Fargo police can no longer secure a sufficient number of either local or transient human driftwood to make the street chain gang.

Ordinarily at this season of the year partially because of the large number of transients wandering westward over the main lines of the transcontinental roads through Fargo, there would be a large number of drunkert men arrested each day. Few of them would have the money with which to pay their fines, and they would be placed at work on the street chain gangs. This force would average 10 to 30 men during July. Yesterday the poliee had just one man available for this work, and he was a vagrant instead of a drunk. With the saloons closed in Moorhead, however, there will be fewer of these characters hanging around.

After the services were over about noon Mr. Forney and wife were about to start back to Egeland and were in the car when the call came.

The legal officers of the American government, who examined the German memorandum, pointed out this evening many respects where the case resembled that of the William Frye, the American ship sunk by the Prinz Eitel Fredrich. In both cases the German government expressed regret at the occurrence and offered to compensate the American citizens for the losses sustained, but the action of the German commanders was declared justified under the circumstances. To admit this the officials here say would establish a dangerous precedent. Officials take the view that the case of the Nebraskan proves conclusively that the merchantman must be visited in order to determine its nationality and the character of the cargo before attacked. The navy's report on the Nebraskan, regarding whether a mine or a submarine caused the explosion wrecking her, was never made public, but in view of the admission by Germany today, officials do not hesitate in saying the finding of the officers is confirmed by the German memorandum.

The memorandum reads: "The German government received from newspaper reports the intelligence that the American steamer Nebraskan had been damaged by a mine or torpedo on the southwest coast of Ireland. It, therefore, started a thorough investigation of the case without delay and from the result of the investigation it has become convinced that the damage to the Nebraskan was caused by an attack by a submarine. "On the evening of May 25 last the submarine meta steamer bound westward without a flag and with no nautical markings on her freeboard, about thirty-five miles west of Fastnet Rock. No appliance of any kind for the illumination of the flag or markings was to be seeu. "In the twilight, which had already set in, the name of the steamer was not visible from the submarine.

Since the commander of the submarine was obliged to assume from his wide experience in the area of maritime war that only English steamers and no neutral steamers traversed this war area without a flag and markings, he attacked the vessel with a torpedo, in the conviction that he had an enemy vessel before him. "Some time after the shot the commander saw that the vessel had in the meantime hoisted the American flag. As a consequence he, of course, refrained from a further attack. Since the vessel remained afloat he had no occasion to concern himsedf further with the boats, wnich had been launched. "It results from this without a doubt that the attack on the Nebraskan was not meant for the American flag, nor is it traceable to any fault on the part of the commander of the German submarine, but it is to be considered an unfortunate accident.

The German government expresses its regret at the occurrence to the government of the United States of America, and declares its readiness to make compensation for the damage thereby sustained by American citizens." RECEPTION FOR MR. AND MRS. J. J. WELLWOOD A reception was given at the home of Mr.
