Interstate Traffic.

At the recent term of the L. S. court
at Hannibal. the first case under the in
terstate commerce law was tried. One
T5ger, az agent for the Missouri Pacific
Railroad Company was indicted for IN
Just discrimination in charging 46 cents
per loo lbs. for shipping "A barrel of sugar
for the Hayward Grocery Co., from Han,
nibai to Helper, Kansas. while 81 cents
per 100 was charged on sugar shipped
from Chicago. via the c. i. & q. Il. K
through Hannibal to the same place.
Judge Thayer charged the jury that
il they found the difference of l. cents
on the lC0 between freight received at
hannibal depot, and from the G. Il. 4
q. cars at Hannibal, both to be shipped
to Helper, Kansas, WAS an undue, and
an unreasonable difference, then they
should find the defendant guilty. The
jury SO found. and defepdant was fined
for the oifense. This is very important
decision. The case has Of course, been
appealed. If this char;.e OF Ju ise l'hayer

bearing in regulating the charge
for frcishts. We hope the decision may

WHEAT IN DAKOTA.
Wheat Fields as Brown as
Though Prairie Fires Had
Crossed Them.

GRAFTON. Oak. July lG. The wheat
crop Of Dakota is 3tHa't } bushels
short The figures are large, but not in
the least exaggerated. The total pro-
iuction for the territory cannot. under
the best ;,ossiblc conditions. from now
until harvest. which will begin in the
North by the 9th. exceed 2O.rrO,tsD
bushels. and to put it that high is Il
liberal estimate The greatest detri-
ment to a sccessful crop this year has
been the exceedingly dry season. and
only along the streams VIII there be any
crops at all. In The spring the most ter
rife wipds rage,! in this entire territory,
and for weeks after the crop was sown
, tie air was filled with the flying parti
c!es Of sol! that should have been fur
nishin. nutrimcDt to the seed that was
lying exposed and burning "n the sur
face Hundreds Of acres were Sown for
the second time. and it would have been
Il good thing for the country il the ell
tire crop had been put in again when
the winds were stiiled. The grain was
for the greater part injured so that no
amount of nourishlng would bring it
back and it is altogether likely that out
side Of the valley of the Red river, all
the grain grown will not till 80 cars.
| The best crops, and in fact the only fair

Trail, the center OF Cass and northwcs-
tern Richland. Elsewhere the ground

county, famously prolific, whea: Will not
sey is bare, except in the immediate
vicinity OF Devils Lake and in the fam
Gus Turtle mountain region, the rich
| soil of which has hitherto been regarded
as drought proof, the earth succlmbed
and there will be but little wheat for
export in that region. Along the main
line of the Northern Pacific. in the once
! famous bonanza farm district, the eie-
vators are closing up and the country
! tributary to Bismarck is as barren as a
sand hill. The Jim river valley will
barely feed its people, and, in short no
where i'm Dakota will there be any wheat
for export, save along the main line of
the Manitoba road, from point thirty
| miles north Of Fargo, the bounding. The
cry of famine that was raised last winter
in the western part Of Walsh county will

comm. winter.
Aside from this impovcrishing of the
people by the failure Of the wheat, there
is another danger which will be felt al
most us severely. and that is the want
of fodder for the stock The o;.t crop is
bad. and the meadows away from the

the sufferer, but trip through Montana
