of construction of the Casselton, Fargo &
Southwestern and Jim River branches of
the Northern Pacific railroad in Dakota,
with headquarters at Fargo, is in the city
for the purpose of renewing his acquain-
lance with his family. Mr. Delano re-
ports grading progressing favorably on
the first two named branches, and the
survey of the latter we'll advanced, though
rains the past week have retarded the
work considerably. The rain commenced
Monday last, and on Tuesday the storm
was general frem Fargo to Bismarck.
In the vicinity Of the latter point the
storm was quite severe, accompanied with
high wind. heavy rain and considerable
hail, breaking good many panes of win
dow glass in the town, and doing some
slight damage to buildings and beating
down the grain to some extent in the
country adjoining. This storm came
from the northwest, and has since been
working southeast, and, as Mr.. Delano
reasons, reached this section Friday after
aoon, when it had reached its greatest
force. MIR. Delano left Fargo at $50
Thursday evening, at which time
another storm of rain, coming from the
same direction, had been prevailing for
about an hour. For little more than
two hours after leaving Fargo, his train
was running through the storm, but as
hour, and the storm but twelve miles, the

reaching St. Paul at 10 a. M, while the
storm did not put in an appearance until
about 2:30 p. m.
Considerable wheat has already been
cut around Fargo, though the work has
been considerably delayed the present
week by the continuous rain. The grain
generally Is now ready for the harvester,
and with good weather cutting will be
general throughout Dakota the coming
week he does not anticipate so large a
yield to the acre in this section this year
as last, but says the quality will be supe
rior, and with the better prices which bid
fair to prevail, the return to the producer
will be equal to, if not greater than for
the crop of $780,
