Sioux FALLS, July 6.-Judge Moody,
of DeadwoOd, has cause to be proud of
the nomination of Ben Harrison. One
year ago the GLOBE interviewed the
judge at his home in DeadwOod on .Da-
kota matters, and he at that time was 4
strong Harrison man, and it now seems
he stood by Harrison until he was vic
torious. There is no doubt that the
work of Judge Moody gave the Indiana
statesman the solid Dakota support, and
should such thing happen-which is
not at all probable-as a Republic
can victory, Judge Moody would
prove a power in Dakota politics.
Judge Moody is sworn enemy of
Ex-GOv. Ordway, and he also realizes
that with the success of Harrison the
ex-governor would have no influence or
standing with the administration. 1t
would give the judge an excellent OPP
portunlty to play back, but the Judge in
his own heart knows that he will never
nave an opportunity to give Ordway an.
under-cut if he must rely on Harrlson's
election. 1t is also reported here that
Judge Moody will stump Springer's
district. and show the constituency of
the Illinois statesman how unjustly he
has treated Dakota people. The Judge
thinks he can assist in defeating
Springer on this issue alone. The Judge
is an embryo senator. and he has reason
to feel little hostile against Springer.
who has aided in keeping him from sat
isfying his long-hoped-for ambition.
JUDGE CLIFFORD ALSO
has limited that he would invade the
district of Springer, but his friends
advise him to keep out of reach of
Springer, as one set-to with that gentle
man would knock him out so completely
that he could never enter the fight for
the delegateship. Clifford is not aching
to stump any district, much less his
own, as he realizes his weakness and he
cannot tell what he may strike if he
ventures away from shore. With
popular, rustling and wide-awake Dem
ocrat pitted against Judge Clifford. the
Democrats have good fighting chance,
and the Republicans. since the prohibit
ton ticket has entered the field, realize
this fact.

ABERDEEN, July 6.-The country i'm
mediately tributary to Aberdeen is also
a corn country. This crop is as yet in
its infancy. Corn is not a favorite crop
of new countries. The speculative
character of wheat as crop, the ease
with which it is grown, and the fact
that less labor and capital are necessary
to its successful handling has given it
prestige in Dakota, as was the case in
Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota in the
early history of their development

is a marked advantage. Such region
is especially fitted for mixed farming,
and it is the common remark of per-
sons who have visited all portions of
the territory, that in no part of Dakota
can a region be found where farmers
appear more generally prosperous, hav-
ing larger areas of well-cultured land,
or better stock, fences, buildings and
improvements than in this portion of
the James river valley. Larger farms
and more wheat are found at the north,
more corn and cattle are raised further
south. but on all the points of agricul-
tural development and in the success
with which the various branches of
farming are pursued no region sur
passes Brown and Sphinx counties and
their well-settled neighbors. This stu

SIOUX FALLS, July 6.-Judge Hugh
Campbell, the father of the division
movement in Dakota, has his lightning
rod twisted and hopes to be called upon
to succeed Delegate Clifford. The Judge
has called upon his Huron friends to
set the ball a-rolling in his behalf, and
how cOu Id they refuse, as the old man
has always been staunch friend to the
would-De capital city of the new state
that the Judge wishes to create. The
Judge. however, will find it hard sailing
to enlist the young Republicans in his
behalf. They do not love his record
made on the Louisiana returning board,
for which service he was imported into
Dakota as carpet-bagger prosecuting
attorney. Again, all of the Republicans
realize that the Judge would not meet
with a hearty reception in the Dem
ocratic house, and therefore the terri
tory would not secure any favors that
he might ask. Again, Campbell has
made strong and bitter
ENEMIES IN EVERY COUNTY

in which he conducted the Office of

nying the fact that he used his official
position to punish his political enemies,

Ordway indicted for bribery With
such record he can never win the sup

The judge, since his return from
Washington, and pronounced ex-Gov.
Ordway wrongly accused man and a

find how badly he errs should his name
be presented to the convention. Frank
Pettigrew and Judge Moody will show

ABERDEEN, OAK, July Gin a re-
cent letter the aricultural resources of

incidents of the railway development of
the region, but the subject is worthy of
more extended notice, for in the crop

of from fifty to seventy-five miles about

as we'll as of her future growth.
Ariculturally Aberdeen is fortunately
situated. Much has been said of the
''cOrn belt'' and the "hard wheat belt''
by millers upon the resources of Da-
kota, and in this connection, be it said,
that no theme was ever so overwritten,
and so underwritten as the resources of
Dakota. The East has been oppressed
with Dakota boom literature, and con-
scious that there must be truth in state
ments so persistently made, it has
looked, generally in vain, through the
mass of roseate congratulations for
facts, cold, unanswerable facts. Never
was the demand better met than
in Commissioner McClure's IRE
sources of Dakota to which
the writer must acknowledge him
self indebted for much of the
statistical information which appears
below. Returning to the question of
the belts, without attempting to deter
mine which particular town may fairly

of the wheat acreage, or to hold the
chief standard among the ''waving BAN
nerS of the corn" the fact remains that
line of demarcatiOn between the
wheat and corn counties extends across
the territory somewhat south of the
forty-siXth parallel. Fifty miles south
of this line corn is almost a certain
crop, and the successful raising of
stock and swine, the establishment
of packing houses and stock mar
kets just beginning tends to prove
the fact. On the other hand, little No.
1 hard wheat is found at the elevators
of this region. Fifty miles north of this
somewhat indefinite point, where the
two great staples seem to meet at a
frontier line
LAID OUT BY NATURE,
little corn is grown. and unless marked
climatic changes follow, the settlement
of the country corn will probably never
be largely grown in this peculiar realm
of the plump, firm, wheaton berry. The
country twenty miles north and south
of Aberdeen is in the margins
of these two great belts. The
hardest and cleanest kind of hard
wheat makes UP a large percentage
of the grain marketed in the region.
The reputation of the grain from Brown
and Sphinx counties in Minneapolis and
other Eastern markets, the amount of
grain bought by Eastern millers at
Aberdeen, as we'll as the reputation of
the several brands of flour made from
here, may be cited in proof of the fact.
