The Great Exposition.

The exposition at New Orleans is attracting
tho attention of the press in all parts of the
country anu abroad. Almost every newspaper
has something to say about the preparations
that are beiug made to further the work of
State or local associations. The special repre-
sentstiyes of the exposition commissioned by
President Arthur for the purpose OF procuring
exhibits, have found the newspapers ready to
report speeches and print the latest news re-
latns to the Worlds Fair. This circumstance
no doubt springs from tho fact that tho people
throughout the land read with much interest
all that is printed concerning this great enter
prise. BY the widespread influence Of the
press the exposition is known and talked about
Ill India, Australia on the banks OF the Congo
in the South American republics and in the
frozen regions OF the North. Seeming impoc-
sibllitles have been overcome, and the scheme
limited to cotton exhibition at first, has been
| enlarged by degrees till it now embraces a
grand exposition OF arts, manufactures, mines,
agriculture, and In fact about everything in
which the people of to-day are interested.
This exposition to be opened in December
next, covers more ground has more exhibits
entered, than can DO recorded of any other
Worlds Fair ever attempted. Aside from the
pec'inialy nIcans furnished the untirinc in
ustry of its directors, this marvel OF the nine
| teeutli century owes much of its ren0wn TO the
power Of the newspapers.

Larimore Pioneer: The injustice Of the late
ruling in regard to proving up is shown in the
case of Mr.. w. B. Turner, Of Inkster township
He lives on his claim and has done SO for near
ly year, has about fifty acres broken and is
IN all respects representative settler. He
had advertised to prove up, and made arrange
ments to do so which involved considerable
expense. A few days before the time set, out
came the ruling forbidding final proof without
a crop. He was thcn advised to SOW few
acres to grain in midsummer. 10 comply with
the new ruling, but like an honest man lie
scorned such subterfuge. little common
sense and uniformity at Washington will do
away with half the frauds In the land business

Bismarck Tribune: Al tho meeting OF the
central committee for this (ninth) legislative
district, Byron Andrus, OF Griggs, introduced
the following resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That no delegates be recognized
who Shall be elected before October /, and that
the central cOmalittee of each county is recon-
mendcd to give notice of the primary caucus
to appoint delegates in newspaper Of the
county for time not less than ten days, and
by posting up five notices, and that such eau
Gus shall be kept open for three hours.
In compliance with the above resolution,
therefore, no convention will be held In Bur-
leigh county to elect delegates until after Oc-
tober l. Mr.. Antrus said the reason he wanted
such resolution passed was that up in his
section three or four men hid been in the
habit of quietly getting together and holding
caucus In some out Of the way place and fore
ing upon the people representatives that they
did not want or had no voice in selecting,
Mr.. Andrus is represented as very bright
young man.

On ThreSliinS,

VII
The following article from the Farmers Tri-
bune on threshng out Of the shock, is at pres
ent particularly timely subject:
1--WE learn that many farmers will this year
in the northwest, thresh the grain out of the
shock instead of stacking it before they thresh
it. We think that if a farmer is going to mar
ket his grain at once, perhaps it is as we'll to
thresh it from the shock, but in that event. he
should sell it as it comes from the threshing
machine. 1t won't do to put it in large quaE-
titles into bin, unless it is carefully handled
over few times in such a manner that it will
come in contact with tue air, because it will
be liable to heat Grain will 60 through with
what is called the sweating process If not
in the shock, Or stack, or NOW, before it is
threashed, it will in the bin or grausry after
ward. Grain thSt is threshed from tile shock,
when placed in the cars Immediately from tho
thrcslling machine, or hauled to the elevator,
generally receives very little injury from this
sweating process as it is loaded and unloaded
frequently before it reaches its destination, and
as a consequence its frequent handling pre-
vents its heating. We have no hesitation in
saying, however, that for the average farmer
it is much better to stack the grain before
threshing it. Its yield will be more, the quail
ity better and the straw worth good deal
more for feeding to stock in the winter, all
danger from heating will be avoided, and aside
from this, wheat that is pretty badly shrunken
in the shock, will come out Of the stack quite
plump-aiter it has taken the usual sweat.
This is SO especially when it has been cut be-
fore it was fully matrrod. This sweating pro-
cess in the stack has wonderful amount of
! benefit in it.''

dealer asserts appointed a delegate to the leg
isiatiye committee, and can testify to the fact
that no such appointment was made hut in
order to make assurance doubly sure we have
examined the proceedings as written out by
the secretary in accordance with the instruc-
tions of the convention and there is no record
of any such appointment having been made.
The truth is, that Mr.. Arneson, whose proxy
Mr.. Flittie claimed to hold, was the only name
that was dropped from the county committee,
the name Of Fingal G. Enger being substituted
Oh the motion of Mr.. L. c. Goplerud. 1t seems
from all that can be learned i'll regard to this
matter that it is @ part of the programme OF
the Walsh faction in Grand Forks to bolt and
hold another convention.

DakOta's IIatchless Soil.

The Bismarck Tribune tells the reason why
North Dakota has achieved the reputation it
has for raising wheat 1t is because OF the
fact that only in this region is the soil and eli
mate adapted to that variety of spring wheat
known as No. Hard Scotch Fife. The i'm
proved process Of milling operates to the high
est advantage only in hard spring wheat. The
best flour is made from grain rich in gluten.
The spring wheat Of this northern region con-
tains more of this essential than that raised in
any other district. Flour made from the mid
dlngs purifier from North Dakota wheat COM
mands 81 to $2a barrel more in New York
than -four made from other grain. These are
the practical reasons why North Dakota is
famous and desirable place to locate.

Freight Rate Reductions,

Only few facts have as yet been developed
in the matter OF freight rate reductions by the
Manitoba and Northern Pacific railways. AS
before stated, the reductions apply to nearly all
the stations. On the Manitoba line they begin
at points little less than hundred miles dis
tant from ST. Paul and Minneapolis. These
are Oh lime, salt, cement, plaster, flour, bran,
mlllstuffs and all kinds Of grain, two to four
cents per 100 pounds. On the Northern Pacific
tho T. ductions begin at Sauk Rapids and Nor
rls. 1t is estimated that on the lines of the
roads mentioned the farmers will save, on
grain alone, 100000 Oh the Manitoba, and
$l75,OO0 on the Northern Pacific. Last season
the Manitoba moved 100000 bushels of
wheat, and this year they expect to handle
2S,OOO,O0O bushels. As to the effect of these
reductions OH other roads, there will be none,
except those that have stations which, by their
geographical relations, are competing points,
Notably, the Hastings Il Dakota division of the
Milwaukee will Oh the 22d make reduction
at competing points with tho Manitoba through
the latter's connections with the Fargo South
ern. These will correspond with the figures
OF the Manitoba on the Breckenridge division
north. These two lines are only twenty miles
apart, SO these farmers have their choice in
patronage. On tho Hastings & Dakota the re-
dnction will begin at Cologne, thirty three
miles from Minneapolis. On the Manitoba the
reduction is one cent per 100 pounds from De-
lano west Of Morris and Browns Valley OH the
Breckenridge division. The Duluth road will
not be affected. The reduction probably will
not stimulate shipments Of grain eastward, but
the great benefit will he the saving in freight,
which will be an item in view Of the present
low market price for wheat Pioneer Press.

Wheat Crop Estimates

Primes estimate Of the wheat crop Of 1884
is 465,0O0,000 bushels, while the Cincinnati
Price Current estimates 475,0O0,0OO to 1885,
100000 bushels, subject to weather contingen-
cies The last estimate made by Walker, of
New York, was 1853, ,OO0,0 900 bushels. Bearing
in mind that the spring wheat crop is not all
harvested, these estimates are pretty close to-
gether. With crop OF say 470, ,OdO, 900 bush
els all in, giving s2O, O,00O,0 600 for home con-
sumption, leaves us l5O, O,0O0, 600 bushels for ex-
port, and we venture to predict that If the
above estimates turn out to be nearly correct
that our stock of old wheat, at this date next
year, will be no larger than now, which is tha
smallest for many years.-St. Pant Globe,
