The eighth wheat crop has just been
harvested in Dakota, and the yield has
proved an abundant one, owing to re-

that wheat ha s been produced in

failure of the crop, and the abundance
OF the yield and the quality of the grain

The wonders Of the Yellowstone re-
gion are said to be rivalled if not ex-
celled by the recent discoveries of Pro-
fessor Pumpelly's surveying party in
Northern Montana. The region ex-
plored is around the Upper Marias pass
west of the rocky Mountain range, and
about $50 miles north of Missoula.
Aside from the mountain scenery there
are three great natural am phitheaters, in
one of which Professor Pumpelly count
ed twenty-five cascades over 500 feet in
height, while on Aeighboring noun
tain is a true g.aeier, having frontage
of at least mile, and in some places a
fall estimated at 500 feet in heigth. The
Northern. Pacific runs near, enough to
these wonders to make them easily &C.
Cessible to the curious.
