The Crops In the Northwest.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 20.
Harvest began all along the Northern
Pacific to-day. In the entire valley the
week has been characterized chiefly by the
increase of quality of the wheat fields,
which were expected not to go over No. ].
Under the favorable condition of the past
week the fields are now confidently ex-
pected to give up bounteous yield of No.
1 hard. George Barnes, President OF the
Northern Pacific Elevator Company, speaks
very highly of the crop being harvested.
He says that in his long aud varied ex-
perience in wheat matters he has never
seen such wonderful outcome. Six weeks
ago there was apparently complete
failure. The stalk is rather short, but the
heads are long and the grain plump and
large. Indeed, so large and heavy are the
grains that some fear has been expressed
that careless handling would cause some
shelling, but by commencing early and cut
ting it before it is over-ripe it is hoped to
avoid this contingency. There can be no
question that the crop will be large. The
few fields that have already been
cut fully bear out the assertion that the
Red River Valley output OF wheat Will be
a great one. On the Dalrymple farm har-
vest commenced to-day with 100 self-bind-
ers in a row. The oat crop in Cass will
also be large one and the result big. The
average wheat crop for the immediate Red
River Valley can be set down at twenty
five bushels, and beyond distance of
thirty miles from the river it may fall
little below it. In Trail, Walsh, Grand
Fork and Pembina Counties the harvest will
commence tomorrow and next day, and
the present fine weather may be taken as
guarantee that the crop will be secured in
good condition. On the Minnesota the har-
vest was begun in several places and the
yield was good. Five large elevators are
being erected along the line of the More
head Northern for the reception of the fall
crop. With another week Of fair weather,
and everything points to that now, the
crop Of North Dakota will be cut and in
shock, and the best ever harvested IN this
region.

The Nadale-Racs.

Frank Carpenter, who Is under arrest as accessory 70 the Florence stage rob, bery, was in town few days before the affair took place. Carpenter has always borne a good reputation as far as known and was resident by the San Pedro uver. The Enterprise has this to say oi his connection with the matter, in whicl 1t appears that he acciientally unbagged the feline:
 After the arrests lt was decided that NIT. J. r. Gabriel should continue the pursuit of Red Jark, while the rest O. the party should return to Florence with the prisoners and take in on the way Frank Carpenter. Carpenter waa found at Mesaville and arrested. On the way down we found at the mouth of the Arlvaipa portion of the stnge-har- ness relns lost by the robbers. At Dud- leyville Carpenter, who IS a nephew of RedhelC, gave the latter completely away, as the saving goes. Mr. Scanland had on hls saddle and ssdd!e-bags found at the scene of the robbery, and as soon as Carpenter saw them he turned to Len Redfield and said:
 Len. these fellows have got your saddle-bagsl"
 Shut upr' replied Len.
 Carpenter evidently did not know that the saddle-bags had been lost. Sheriff Doran arrived here with the prisoners Thursday morning. and they were brought before Judge Thomas for ex- animation, and he adjourned the case till to-day to give the prosecution time to get witnesses here. There IS suif- clent evidence to convict all three of the prisoners as soon as it can be collected. Joe Tuttle is one of the principals in the crime, and Redfeld and Carpenter are accessories"
