The st. Peter Tribune says In a
conversation with a saloon man, recent
ly from Iowa, and who is going to start
saloon in MankatO, We were informed
| that business of all kinds has been very
much depressed in Des Moines since the
prohibition law went into effect. He
said that the city used to realize 10000
per year from its saloon licenses, and
| the result of being cut of from that
revenue, is, that Des Moines city bonds
are selling at 40 cents on the dollar.
Who the man is referred to above is

interview large number from nearly
every section of the county, says that
the yield will average the largest known
for years Some put the average as high
as % bushels per acre, others at 20 while
a few think Is bushels is about as much
as can safely be counted upon. There
are fields of wheat in the county that
will turn out % and some will even so AZ
