TO BEAR THE MARKET.
Published Estimates of Wheat Crop i'm
Minnesota and Dakota Exaggerated.

Published of the Wheat Crop i'm
Minnesota and Dakota Exaggerated.
Harvesting has just begun in the vicinity
of jamestown, N. ID. Estimates based on
reports from visitors to nearly every part
of North Dakota show that there will not
be more thar a third of a crop Of wheat.
That already thrashed shows great shrink
age in the berry. and one cannot tell until
the wheat is thrashed and dried out how
the majority of the fields will yield. Hot
winds have affected the heads more than
was supposed, and the estimate sent out
by the Minneapolis chamber of
that 100, 600, 600 bushels would be the crop
for Minnesota and 2O0, 900, 900 Of the Da-
kotas is a gross exag2eration. North Da.
kota's best yenr gave only 40, 900, 900 bush
els. and this year this will be largely de-
creased. If the state gives 90, 000. 600 bush.
els it will surprise men who are close fig
urers. In South Dakota much wheat is TT
only for chicken feed aud many fields will
not be cut, the straw being too short.
Elevator mems estimate, above made, for
the Dakotas is too high by %, 600. 600 bush
els. The elevators having decided not to
store grain as in the past. owing to COM
plant of conflicting elevator laws requir-
ing q license and regulating grades, farm
ers are preparing to hold their wheat as far
as possible, being confident that it will
bring 81 this fall and $3.50 before another
crop is in the market. The plan of the
elevator men to bear the market. refuse to
store grain and force the mortgage farmers
to sell at any price the combination may
offer, has greatly alarmed wheat growers,
who fear the most disastrous results to
farmers throughout this state will follow
the putting of this policy into operation.

Irrigation Convention.

The Aberdeen club has called an irriga-
ton convention to meet at Aberdeen the
Doth inst. Representatives from both the
Dakotas will be urged to beipresent. From
the United States geological survey it APP
oears that the bed of the Missouri river at
rpoints in both states is several hundred
cher than the heads of the James
"a valley, and therefore water can be di-
.erted from its channel in sufficient guam
titles to supply that needed tor irrigation.
The club urges that concerted action
should be at once taken to induce congress
to undertake expensive and effective meas
ures for the distribution of the surplus
water of the Missouri over the vast agri-
cultural area of the two states.

Canada aud attempted to get backing fos .

jumps from a considerable height aud
partly succeeded in intere sting . couple Of
dime museum managers aud oneb balloon
list, G. "A. Rogers by name. The latter
promised The. Canadian money and . posi-.
ton in caas he should proved himself
capable Of making o realrhigh jump. u
TIE test first decided upon was Q leap
from a derrick on Darling's wharf at the
East Boston ferry at q height Of seventy
five feet. In the presence Of . large crowd,
bat during the absence Of Rogers, this
jump was successfully done. Fifteen min.
utes afterward Rogers appeared on the
scene and demanded another trial. Nc
Caffrey sneeringly replied that the jump
just made was nothing for a man OF nerve,
and asked that a higher place be shown
him.
Escaping from the crowd McCaffrey,
Rogers and the two dime museum men
proceeded to the Atlantic company's ship
yards, where a pair OF sheers overhung the
water at a distance Of 1870 feet. During
the walk there McCaffrey was asked how
he felt.
Bully, said he. Its dead easy thing
to make 2 jump, nc matter how high, IL Q
man has only got the nerve. All you've
got to do is to keep your feet together and
let her CO."
Arriving at the yard McCaffrey was
shown the space. With a scornful glance
he asked: Cant you shove EN- up Q bit
higher? That's about Brodie's limit, but
it's an every day dive with NO."
Then, quickly throwi aside all his
clothes but a close fitting pair of trunks and
his shoes, he briskly climbed up the stars.
Once at tie top he pausel but q moment to
make the conventional circus bow to his
friends beneath and then launched into
space. He shot through the air feet FORE
most until within about, perhaps, eight
feet of the water. Then the body turned
and he struck the water squarely upon his
| back.
Strange to say, instead of sinking imme-
diately, the body Cfor the man must have
been instantly killed) bounded upward and
Aoated for fully fifteen seconds upon the
surface of the water. Then slowly it sank
from sight.
Rogers and the dime museum men fed
precipitately. Some men in q yacht who
saw the leap and feared the result came to
the rescue, but they were too late to over
save the corpse. The mans clothes were
taken to q station house and the matter
reported to the police.

One of tue worst results of the opium
joints has been brought to light at Helena,
Mont. About two weeks ago man named
Raymond came to Helena. accompanied by
his wife. Yesterday he reported to the

search which was instituted resulted in
finding her in n private opium den kept by
IL variety actor named Williams. Two
other women were i'll the room beside Mrs.
Raymond. II a girl of IL named Lille

would accomplish their ruin. The Law
renee girl when found was in commissions,
and it was ouly by heroic treatment that
her life was saved.
