disastrous one. Sturrock & Browns

raw AGES Of TIE FLAMES

LAC QUI PARLE, Mimi, Sept. ga
prairie fire ten miles wide is sweeping
the Minnesota bottom lands, and the
town of Big Stone City is threatened
with destruction, the flames having
reached point two miles southeast of
there. Hundreds of farmers have lost
ali ;':e:y hay and stock, and the fire,
which was started two days ago by a
party of hunters, is beyond control.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Sept. 4.-News
has just been received that Barker has
been almost totally destroyed by fire.
Ihe.fre started in a miners camp three
do7r below Zeiglers house, and swept
from there up the valley, burning all
the Eastern portion Of the camp. It is
supposed that Ellis. his wife and four
children lost their lives. There are also
three naen missing. Mr.. Nebles lost
seventy tons OF hay, farm tools, and
everything but his household goods.
Barker is the business center Of the en-
tire Barker district. 1t is about sixty
miles southeast Of Great Falls. The
mineral deposits are on both the east
and west side of the camp. On the
west are such mines as ''Pride
of the West,' 'Silver Beet and
"Silver King" Considerable work
has teen done on the "Pride of the
West mine. On the northeast side of
the camp is another grove Of silver

overcasted sky there flashed again and
again the mysterious electrical hued in
spots and streals Of livid red and pale

shimmering over streets, sidewalks and

WILL NEED 1T ALL.

Not Many Years Before The United
States Alone W;Il Consume all the
Wheat Raised at Home. The Out
look for the Industry
Tue American Farmer, a protection
farm journal published at Ft. Wayne,
Ind, says:
Observers who do not observe assert
that the culture OF wheat in the United
States has passed it's climax. that it will
steadily decrease in the next few years and
that as a profitable occupation it no
longer leads, says tho Milling World.
Let us see. This country has now about
65 900, 900 inhabitants. Thewheat consum-
ed by them averages about 35O,OOO,OOO
bushels annually. We raise surplus of
from sO,OOO,OO0 to l2O,00O,O0O bushels
wear on our present acreage. Taking the
latter figure as basis of calculation and
allowing oilr population to increase 81
per cent a year by natural increase and
Immigration, how long will it he before
we will need every bushel of our now ex-
ported surplus to feed our own people?
The increase in population will be about
100000 annually, calling for about
7.!5OO,OCO bushels of wheat more each
if the increase called for only 100000
bushels moro each year, we will have
oyertaken our 120OO0.O00 bushels sur
plus in twenty years. In other words,
in 1909 the United Stat es sowing only the
pres INT acreage to wheat, will have no
surplus for Great Britain or any other
country. 1t is easy to understand that,
as the demand outgrow's the supply re-
latively, as the home consumption
gradually overtakes production. wheat
growing may yet become far more pro-
fitable industry than it is now or than it
ever has been. European economic
writers foresee the Inevitable expansion
OF the home consumption demand in the
United States and they appreciate the
situation so thoroughly that they openly
advocate the development Of India or
any other wheatgrowing country that
promises to grow enough wheat to sup
ply Europe's needs when the American
supply shall be needed for the American
demand. Meanwhile, wheat growing in
America remains a great industry that
shows no signs of decadence and that
promises great things for the future.

LET THEM COME.

The Extension of Railroads in the
Jim River ValIey.---What the
Northern Pacific is Doing in It's
Rapid Progress Into Manitoba.
Contractor George Mccormick of the
firm OF Mccormick Bros, ST. Paul. Neb,
was in the city yesterday, looking for
men to lay track on the Leeds extension
Of the J. & n. Three hundred men are
wanted at $500 day. He secured ten
teams here, also man and team at $3.50
day. Over so 900 yards of grading have
already been done north of the Manitoba
track, on the line surveyed to the Turtle
Mountains. This works has been done
quietly but actively. The intention of
the company was to stop this year at
Leeds, build a round house, Or move the
one now at Minnewaukan. but a sud-
den change in their plans has occurred
and the road will be pushed north 49 Or
so miles beyond the Manitoba track this
year, and probably ironed before winter
closes in. There are six weeks work yet
on the Leeds branch, the whole of which,
including tracklaying, bridging, build
ings etc, was assumed in the contract.
The drouth and consequent willingness
of farmers to take railroad work at near
ly any price, has determined the North
ern Pacific to build further this year
than first intended, and thereby give
the nee dy farmers along their line the
benefit of ready money which could be
had BY no other means this year. The
farmers are ilocking to the road for this
employment and getting it as fast as
they apply. The company is the favorite
in the Turtle Mountain country and the
steady progress of the road towards
Brandon in Manitoba, is hailed with
qualification by all the settlers. who are
giving the right of way and whatever
land is wanted, for nothing.
The Mccormick Bros are heavy rail-
way contractors in the states OF Nebraska,
Kansas and the south west. They have
built great deal of road for the Rock
Island system in those states and while
here Mr.. Mccormick received a telegram
stating that Il contract of 80 miles in
Illinois for that company had just been
awarded them. This is their FIRST work
in North Dakota, and they have been
fortunate in getting it done cheaper
than they expected when the bid was
made.
Mr.. Mccormick says a recent visit
through the various engineers offices of
the roads in St. Paul shows all hands dis
charged and nothing doing except the
Northern Pacific Office. He projects that
next season will see some lively construc-
ton in North Dakota, the Chicago. Mil
waukee. & St. Paul. the Chicago 4 North
western and the Manitoba. all taking
hand in the deal. The combine
between the Northern Pacific and the
Wisconsin Central is driving the other
roads to take measures for defense and
the only measures that will succeed are
the extensions of branch lines and settle
ment OF present unoccupied territory.
jamestown will be IN the very center of
this promised activity. Mr.. McCormick
said be would not be surprised to see the
flush times of 1882 return again, begin
ing with next year.
