Dalrimplcs Of st. Paul, who, ten years ago,
We're the largest farmers of wheat in Min
ncSota, raising us much as 40, 600 bushels in
Il single year, went TO the wall. Another
large wheat raiser is ID. NJ. ReaviS, whose
land lies on the borders of Cousa and
Butte counties. He is also from Monroe
county, Missouri, and has ;n unprctending
little estate of 5000 acres, $4,000 of which
are in wheat, which he thinks will average
this year 80 bushels, or 800, 900. He also is
hard pressed, and am told is payin. 9 per
cent on Il couple of hundred thousand dol
lars of borrowed money. If farmers rails
ing half Il million to Il million bushels of
wheat cannot get ont of debt, it might be
well to inquire what is the use of having so
much land? The truth is that from the
frequent failure of crops in California and
the waste that attends on large operations
Of that kind, farming on n gigantic scale in
this portion of the Pacific coast must be
considered Il failure. North of this in Ore
gon and Washington Territories, there is no
failure of the harvest; farming operations
are carried on on Il smaller scale and cOnse-
quently the farmers, while not rolling in
wealth, are well to do"

RISE IN THE THERMOMETER THAT FILLED THE

The rise in the thermometer yesterday and the
thawing weather began to make the people OF this
city acquainted with the presence OF unusual
winter slush. In Broadway, where the snow had
been removed there comparatively little mud or
water but in the lateral streets and less fortunate
thoroughfares the soft snow was knee deep. Many
of the crossings were impossible, and most of them
only passable when the pedestrian made
up his mind to wade across them 10 par
