As many inquiries have reached this
oE:ce concerning the project of con-
structing railroad, with an initial
point at Sioux Falls, u. T., thence
trayersing the western borders Of
Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and iouiBi-
ana, terminating at Morgan City on
the Gulf of Mexico, to connect with a
line of steamships reaching out for the
trade of Central and South American
ports, few facts may be of interest to
the people Of Superior At the pres
cnt time it would be imprudent TO say
more than that European and Ameri-
can capitalists have guaranteed to fur
nish al the required money for the
purpose, and the road viii be con
structcd in the same substantial man
ner as are English roads. Hence the
first cost viii be greater than that of
most American roads. Everything
VIII be made even to the equipment,
rs substantial as iron and granite can
make ii. The road viii be operated
largely for the benefits of the people.
The rates Of transportation OF both
freight and passengers will be at the
minimum. The regular passenger rate
viii be one cent per mile and freight
to correspond. The employees will be
paid reasonable wages and salaries.
The plan is TO make the road demo
cratic. 1t is believed that on a com
bined stock and bond capitalization of
$50, 600 q mile, per cent. yearly net
earnings can be realized. That IS a
good rate of interest. The bonds Will
bear an interest yearly at 5 per cent.
to run one hundred years. This will
amphatically better the condition OF
our people, both north and south,
There viii be no railroad magnates to
control this property, to draw eXtravi-
CANT salaries for doing nothing.
This company viii be fiscal agent of
the railway corporation, and addition
al information VIII be given to the
public as the enterprise progresses.
This road when built VIII be a feeder
for the Manitoba and Eastern railway
and hence viii be an important road
for Superior"

The Crop 0riioois.

1t is never safe TO predict anything
about the spring wheat crop till 1T has
been securely stored in a tire-proof
elevator; but such portion of it as has
survived the unlayOrable conditions
which have prevailed over large areas
of the Northwest since it WAS sown is
not likely to be assailed with any ser
ious perils in the future And the
probabilities, based OF present in
Glcations, are that we shall have fair
average crop throughout Minnesota.
Unfortunately the same cannot be
said of the prospects III Dakota. In
Southern and Central Dakota the crop
has been so badly damaged by the
prevailing drouth that the yield Will
be very light In Northern Dakota
there are considerable districts in the
heart of the most productive wheat
belt which promise a fair return, but
there are also large areas west of the
Red river valley where the long-con-
tinued drouth has worked irreparable
damage to the crop. Taking more
general view of the wheat crop situa-
ton the product throughout the
United States promises To be but little
below the average, while the latest
information from other countries af
fords ground fer the belief that the
demand for export viii be considerably
larger than last year.
Our greatest competitor, Russia, &C
cording to the latest reports, viii have
a rather poor wheat crop Russia us
ually exports two hundred million
roubleS' worth of wheat, and it is re-
ported that she is importing it now,
the crops III the interior and southern
provinces having been largely winter
killed OF killed by drouth. The only
good crops are in NorthWestern and
Central Russia. Russia exports TO
England from one to three million
quarters Of wheat annually, and a re-
duction to half million quarters or
viii leave a considerable gap to be
filled from other sources. AS q rule
the Russian average wheat crop is be-
low eight bushels to the acre, SO that
a large shortage III the crop means a
very great curtailmGnt of export.
Little or no wheat compared with
former years Will be shipped to Europe
from either Chilli or the Argentine
Republic The increase of imports
into England Of Indian wheat, which
is about II per cent of the total
quantity of wheat imported from all
countries by England, depends upon
the success of the present movement
to compel Indian shippers to clean
their grain so that not over per cent
of it Will be dirt. At present Indian
wheat is very dirty and Objectionable
to English millers. The cleaner the
shippers make it, the greater will be
the amount imported into England,
and less of American wheat Will be
taken. As India is our greatest com
petitor, next to Russia, in the British
wheat trade, this question of Indian
dirt is quite p serious one for our
wheat producers. This year, however,
gives better promise than the last for
wheat eXpOrtS.-PiOneer Press

S.s.aroF sa-Eyer's EfttIc story.

Washington Despatch in the New
York Sun: Senator Sawyer's globular
presence has been seen in the depart
mants almost daily of late. Old politi-
cans from the Badger State, who lave
kept notched sticks, say the old man
has got more places for Wisconsin
men than all the other senator's and
members of the state secured. 4
story he told the other night TO party
of friends shows what he thinks of his
occupation.
When | was a boy Is year old, |
bought my time For 800 nay father
let me off from working for linn four
years longer, and | set out for a place
in York state, where | knew ] could
get work. You know there were few
railroads in those days, and | was glad
to get ride part of the way on a
steamboat on Lake Champaign. One
night i got into TicondeToga and had
TO wait until O'clock in the morning
for the down beat TO Whitehall | de
cided to go TO bed, and asked the land
lord his terms for supper, lodging and
calling NE for the boat To call the
boat he had to get up and dress and
hang q lantern on the pier, otherwise
she would go by without stopping
Wen young man., he replied TO my
question, | wouldn't git up and
hustle on my clothes in the middle Of
the night for ten dollarsl
| began to quake iii my boots and
think of walking twenty miles on my
own account.
No sir, he went on, wouldn't do
it for twenty dollars, for nobody! But

ling, and | guess III hey to fer

doing it for S., goo a year, which little
more than pays my house rent"

APPRECIATION.

Affectation IS an artificial garb as
sumed by those who make pretensions
to qualities which they do not possess.
This evil propensity, for such we I'M
hesitatingly designate il, has, alas! Il
deep and Wide-sprCading influence.
From the sublime subject of religion
down to the slightest punctilio of de
pertinent, what is there in any way
noble, ''lovely, or of good report" that
affectation is not impudent enough to
counterfeit: Bat happily for the in
terests of simplicity and truth, the
counterfeit is as different from the
reality as the paltry tinsel from pure
and solid gold, and though the one
may glitter and dazzle for awhile, yet
the other only viii stand the test Of
time and trial. The triumph Of hypo-
criSy is short, and even when at It's
highest glory the flimsy disguise re
yeals more than it conceal5. But this
is fact OF which those who wear the
mask are probably not cognizant; for
had they the power "to see themselves
as others see Them" they would cast
the disguise aside. This idea is emin-
emily suggestive Of the source from
which alfectation springs. namely, a
heart that has never been subjected
to The scrutinIzing process of salf-eX-
animation. Hence we shall find that
an affected person is invariably a self
ignorant person, and one who posses
SEES a mean mind.

sition, yet al must depend on the
