Tennessee and Kentucky are not
much better off, though the warm
rains of the past two weeks have
revived many fields which were
thought to be dead. Michigan and
California have excellent prospects.
Iowa and Nebraska, coming to the
spring wheat states, which last year
raised about G0,000,000 bushels,
show aboat the same acreage as
then, and may increase it. Wis
consn, though the season is late,
may report the same acreage as
last year, while Minnesota and Da-
kota viii increase the area as
much as possible since the recent
advance in prices. Many fields
which had been intended for barley,
oats or flax, will be seeded with
spring wheat instead, especially
as the Indian troubles in Manitoba
and the Northwest territory are ex-
pected to result in a reduction of
there.

Edn0rS Tribune;-Not long ago |
wrote to you something about game,
and this letter will speak of fish,
though on that account you need
not consider fishy what | have to
say.
Trout, grayling, white and squaw-
fish are all | have so far caught.
The former ranks among the gamiest
of fish; the latter verify believe is
worse than the famous red-horse
which cost me so many weary walks
to the Pecatonica in my boyhood
days
Pve fished pretty much all around
in Montana. Not that | went eX-
pressly to fish, but happened to be
here and there away off in those
wild almost uninhabited places after
cattle, and as no one hardly ever
fshed in those parts, it was famous
sport Once last September about
$50 miles from here, on the Mussel-
shell, | went out one afternoon to
catch some fish for supper. We had
finished early with the cattle that
day, and the cowboys lay around
and in the tents in various attitudes
and occupations. They do not seem
to care much about angling, so my
proceeding was an unusual departure.
But got away from their faceuous
remarks-olT about half n mile to
where the river formed a deep, dark
pool, overriding by lofty cliff and
green pines, which cast shadows on
the still waters. So ] threw my line
into this likely looking fishing place
with the expectation of success As
to numbers | was not deceived. /
soon had several large, whitish look
ing fish Topping on the bank, and
reioiced exceedingly that ! would
have the laugh on my side when |
returned. This strange fish bit with
avidity, diving down swiftly when
they took the bait, and sometimes
requiring considerable maneuyriag
to land the "whoppers." So eXcit-
ING was the sport that ! tished till
the sun, dipping behind the peaks Of
the western mountains, cautioned me
to return to camp. When ] did SO,
laboring under my burden of fish, |
found the laugh against me, for they

THE prohibition movement in
Iowa has developed some. novel
features. Evidently the majority
Of the people throughout the State
are thoroughly in favor Of it, and
do not propose to rest content with
any mere nominal suppression Of
the liquor traffic. If there is any
such thing as carrying the law into
execution with uniformity it will be
done. The statute seems to be
pretty generally respected now OK
cept in the larger river towns, and
the citizens Of the interior propose
to take hand in its enforcement
in the present strongholds of the
traffic This is going a step farther
than the prohibitionists ofany other
State have attempted to 90, and
the result Of the policy inauguratcd
at Epworth will be watched with
interest. That policy, is to furnish
money, and if need be muscle, to
enforce the provisions Of the prohi-
hition act.
