MAMMOTH WHEAT.-We were
shown some fine specimens of spring
wheat this morning at DR.. Bowen's
Office. The stalks stand four feet
high in the field, upon the farm Of
VIM. III. Mcfarland, at Mcfarland
station. The seed stalks average
eight inches, and the kernels are
nearly three times the size OF ordi-
nary grain. This variety is called
the Mammoth, and is of recent in
PRODUCTION into this section. The
yield is said to be from so to rs
bushels to the acre.-Eudi8on Stato

his judicious, excellent executive
ability, all who have any business
withtbat great tboroughfare, feel that
the right man is in the right place.
Two hundred and forty acres

1t is becoming a hzed fact that
the coal fields, which are SO abun-
dant on the Upper Missouri and its
tributaries, must necessarily at a
very early period play an important
part in the future commercial re-
sources of the territory. Every day
brings fresh evidence Of the impor-
tance Of the coal deposits, SO copi-
ously distributed throughout the
treeless districts Of the country west
and Northwest of Bismarck, at the
same time this necessary article will
come in good play for our friends
east Of us. The day IS close at
hand when the coal fields of Mis-
souri, will be God-send to the set
tiers OF Minnesota, as well as those
of Dakota.

From the Ashland Press.
Macarthur has shipped forty car
loads of EVeIland Canal timber from
his Chippewa camp to Green Bay,
this week. The timber is Of the
finest in the country. The logs
average 1900 feet to the log, all
clear stuff. -Four logs to the car is
the average. Some Of them scaled
$500 feet. How is this for ''New
Wisconsin" products.

TUE first annual report on the in
ternal commerce ofthe United States
is published. It says thevalue Of the
railroads Of the United States is about
twenty-three times the value Of
shipping engaged in our foreign
commerce, and that the value Of our
internal commerce, is twenty-five
times the value Of our foreign com
merco; that eighty-seven per cent
Of the grain shipped from the West
to the seaboard last year was trans
ported on rail lines, and that over
ninety per cent Of the eutire inter
nal commerce Of the country is on
the railroads, Although the total
amount OF con tributions Of the Gov
crnmeut, up to the close of the year
1876, in aid ofrailroad construction,
amounted to $i44,0o0,oo0, embrac-
ing land grants and subsidies to the
Pacific railroads, yet this sum is
only three per cent Of the entire
cost of the railroad system of the
country.

HOY TT Wis DONE.

In the letter given elsewhere from a
''Farmer'' the following allusion to
how 4 farmer was shouldered off the
track ut the County Convention two
years ago occurs:
But there was still one pet unprovld-
Ell for. lie, too, must have a place to
earn his bread eoithout the sweat of his
brow. This was easily done, us there
was still one farmer on the list and his
position likely to soon be a paving one.
And here let me say that !, great in
justice was done to a good, deserving
and true man.
Our correspondent does not give
names, but there is no mistaking the
one to whom he refers. This is an al
fusion to the way the Ring shouldered
G. w. Bulls, the former Sheriff, who
was farmer, off the track and put on
one of their town pets, J. A. Town, the
present Sheriff. The history of that
affair has never been published and we
may as we'll give it now. Mr.. Bulls
was the favorite candidate of the peo-
pie who wanted to see him reelected.
The Ring pretended to bring out g. II.
Rice as their candidate for nomination.
They played this as blind until with
in one or two days of the Convention,
when they got together in little eau
Gus and decided that J. "A. Town must
lie the nominee at all hazards. On the
morning of the Convention they were
on hand button-holing the delegates and
working for Town like beavers. AS ev-
cry one knows, they succeeded in NOM
mating him.
Thus the Worthington Ring succeed
ed in securing another town official to
strengthen their town Ring, and throw
aside two farmer candidates, one of
whom they had pretended to favor up
to within day or two Of the Conven-
ton.
