Harvesters at Work and There Will be a

ST.. PAUL, MINI. - Gratifying reports
concerning the crops come from al
points along the line of the Omaha road.
The rains which fell generally during
Monday night have proved highly bene-
ficial to corn and prospects are very en-
couraging as far as shat cereal is con-
cerned. Flax was also greatly benefited
by the heavy showers and the outlook
for that crop is of the most
promising character. From all points
comes the report that crops still unhar-
vested are looking well and big yields are
confidently anticipated. All other crops
have been secured in good condition and
the wheat yield is larger than usual.
Stacking is cow about finished all over
the vast territory through which Omaha
stretches and threshipg is in
full blast. Grain is turning out well and
farmers are in good spirits. The yield
of wheat ranges from Is to>35 bushels to
the acre, oats from 40 to 70, barley 18 to
40 and flax Is to Is. Reports are received
from Minnesota and Iowa and South Da-
kota that the rain will greatly improve the
corn, hay and potatoes, but i6 has stopped
threshing at some points. Corn now
promises to be more than an average
crop.

Samuel j. Crawford, against whom it was
proposed to institute proceedings for
having, es attorney for the Greek Indians,
received 10 per cent. of the proceeds of
the sale of 100000 acres of their land
IN Oklahoma, today filed with the secre-
tary of the interior a sworn statemen
When the Creeks, in December, 1884,
learned that bills were pending IN con-
gress to ves7 in the United States title
to the Oklahoma lands, they employed
him either to defeat the legislation
or to secure conn ensasion, agreeing
TO pay him 10 per cent. on whatever
amount he might secure. He obtaine d
s., 2SO S57 for their interest. The secre-
tary of The interior approved Crawford's
contract, after amending it to make the
compensation 61a per cent. In Decem
Der, 1888, the new delegates to the
Greeks asked for a new contract fixing
the com peusation at 10 per cent, TO be
entered into, and to be in full for all past
a, d future services. This new contrac'
was approved by the Greek national coun
oil. In February, So, Secy. Villas inform
ed Crawford he would defeat the measure
which was then pending in congress TO
make application to pay the Greeks for
their lands, unless he (Crawford) surren-
dered the contract and looked to the In
dams for whatever pensatiOn they
deemed just. Gov. Crawford says he
agreed under protest TO this arrange
ment and since then has had no coHtrol
over what compensation the Greeks
should give and they fixed the fee them
selves and without his interference.
