Great Ocean.
Better late than never and in fact tbe
GLOBE representative has been waiting unit,
the close OF the greatest exposition ever held
IN the Northwest before attempting to men
ton the grand display made by the
Land department of the Northern Pacific rail
way. 1t is
NO ExAGGERATIoN
to say that the collection shown to the public
by this great corporation was more visited and
more praised than any other display upon the
entire grounds.
In the first place, there is full DISPLAY of
tne most wonderful vegetable and cereal pro-
from
LAKE SUPERIOR TO THE MISSOURI
representing every county, organized and I'M
organized, in both Minnesota and Dakota.
1t Is not many years since southern Minneso-
ia, from st. Anthony Falls to the Iowa line,
was regarded as being on the verge of the
frozen zone, but the unparalleled rapidity with
which the Northern Pacific country has
oeen developed has turned a new leaf1n the
ideas of people.
THE HARVEST THIS YEAR
and every previous year since the first
farm was opened in the great north
land OF the extreme upper Mississippi vale
has demonstrated that for absolute certainty in
the harvesting Of No. l spring wheat every
year, II is necessary to go north of the
FoRfY-FoURTH PARALLEL
lake the present year as an example: In
southern Minnesota and northern Iowa and
Wisconsin the entire cereal crop has been al.
most a failure, and what few bushels to the
acre have been secured goes No. 2. No. 3. No. a
and rejected. but on the line of the GREAT
railway the harvest has been most abundant
ranging from
TWENTY-FIVE TO FORTY
bushels to the acre, and with scarcely bushel
grading below No. !, unless from gross careless
ness In the handling or from other special
causes
ANOTHER FACT:
The display at present under consideration
demonstrates beyond the shadow of doubt
that the supposed unfertile belt between the
Red and Missouri rivers is fitted in all respects
to produce not only the smaller grains in won
derfnl abundance, but also Is unsurpassed in
growing vegetables of every kind and charac-
ter. There is no alkaline country" bnt one
broad, unbroken, uncultivated
HARVEST FIELD
awaiting the magic touch of the soiled hand of
stalwart labor, to call into life fields taught
with the husbandman's promise of plenty.
The Imagination reaches forward into the near
future and sees upon the prairies of Dakota
IN the valley of the Yellowstone, and hugeine
close to the protecting
RooK-RIBBED SIDES
of the mountains of Montana, the clustering
cottages of comfort houses for the unhoused
poverty pinched millions of the Eastern cities.
There is
NO POOR LAND,
and the nerve and muscle of the Genius O.
Hard Workwill in the future demonstrate til,
fact.
Some features of this great display will bea
particularizing. The splendid showing from
Wadena county, in charge of the
HANDSOME HUsBANDMAN HUoKLEBERRY
OF the Wadena Tribune. was mentioned at
length yesterday. Yesterday afternoon while
wandering through the halls, the GLOBE maj
halted in frontlof Gatchell's stand (Which the
same has become celebrated) and discovered
the following card prominently pinned on hi
grain exhibit:
''This collection of grain in the straw, Will
not entered TO- any premium, the committee O.
grain award to it the credit of being the fines
display of the kind in Agricultural hall"
Inns speaks loudly, not only for the enter
prise of our newspaper friend, but also for til

was especially fine. Wheat of every conceiy
able variety; oats with straw six feet in length
rye with straw eight feet in length
native nutrcious grasses six fec

to the blush. Even the wicked Bismarck send
down oats that would make Rarus weep wit
tears of joy to gaze upon. Wheat, beautiful
white, hard, winter wheat; spring wheat brow
and plump as an Indian maiden's buddin
bosom; corn with gigantic stalk
ranging upward from the bosom

stalwart feet into the air; wheat from Mon

And everything else that nature has scattere

thoroughfare-the Northern Pacific railway.

The Northern Pacific display was the finest b,
all odds among the many fine exhibits of agri
