TIE PRESS is grateful for the re-
sponses received relative to the crop
results this season in Stark county.
We think we are safe in saying that
Stark gives as large a yield of grain
per acre as any other county in North
Dakota. We have this week a report
from the eastern part of the county;
from 2O34 acres of wheat with yield
of $3.50 bushels, or about 281s bush.
els to the acre, this including large
acreages in single tracts, where the
general average is lower than small
plats more favorably situated on
choice bits of ground. From maxi
mum yield of 48 bushels. to a mini.
mum of IL, we place the average at
80 bushels per acre, and think this a
conservative estimate from all sta.
tistics gathered. Without doubt a
larger acreage of grain will be put in
next year. There are farmers in
Stark county who have paid for their
farms from the proceeds of this
seasons crop, and have nice little
sum of cash to their credit. The
outlook at this time for good crop
next year is unusually good, the
ground being we'll filled with moist.
ure, and good deal of land has been
summer fallowed this year, which
puts it in prime condition for an as.
sured crop in 1892.

HIGH COAL PRICES.
A Charge that the N. ID. Railroad Com.
missiOners are Responsible.

DICKINSON, N. d., Dec. l4.-People
of this state who have been suffering
from a shortage of coal during the
present winter were astonished to
learn that they have the railroad COM
missioners Of North Dakota to thank
for it. Citizens of Morton county
have published the following:
We hereby petition your honorable
body to use your influence with the
traffic department of the Northern
Pacific railroad to reduce the differ
entail which now stands against Dick
inson and in favor of Sims, to the fig
ures at which it stood prior to May
Is, 1891. Wo do this because we are
informed that the railroad company
stands ready to make this reduction
at any time they are requested to do
so by you. A telegram signed by j.
MI; Hannaford, the general traffic
manager of the Northern Pacific,
dated May l, 1891, addressed to A. G.
McGillivray, of Dickinson, states that
"the raise in the rates for Dickinson
coal was made at the request of the
railroad commissioners of North Da-
kota.'' "A dispatch dated May I, 1891,
to Mr.. McGillivray from Mr.. Hanna.
ford, states that eff the railroad com.
missioners want the tariff changed
from basis named $50 cents differen.
tial to 25 cents, us prior to May l5(,
we shall be glad to do so"
Realizing from the above dispatches
that the matter rests entire with your
board, and failing to see why you
should be interested in keeping up the
cost of coal to the consumer, and re-
alizing further that the miners at
Sims are unable to keep up with the
demand, we petition you as stated
above.
There is much Indignation all along
the Northern Pacific on the part of
the people who have been unable to
get coal because of the shutting
down of the Dickinson mines, Sims
is unable to supply the demand; not
because there is not enough coal
there, for there is enough to supply
the entire northwest for large num-
Der of years. but the men wha are
managing the mines are not able to
take care of the business.-Minneapo.

readers, Christmas will have come
and gone. Although we have no
snow, nor do we hear the jingle of

to have a Christmas air about it, as
the time draws near for Santa Claus

the preparations for the Christmas

the near approach of that day of days.

VIII the African Elephant work,

In modern times, we have only to look
to India TO be convinced OF the great
usefulness Of the elephant. To the
agriculturist, who uses him before his
wagon or his pillow, he is Indispensable
and for the transportation Of. heavy
articles, he has no rival. We see him
carrying immense tree trunks out OF
the Indian forest, and by his indefad-
gable industry, in picking up and car
rying off large stones, aiding the con-
struction of roads and railways. For
labor OF this kind a coolie receives
from four to eight annas, while five
and six rupees are paid for the daily
work OF an elephant, From this fact,
we conclude that one elephant per-
forms the work of from twelve to
twenty-five coolies.
From the record of the British ex-
petition against King Theodore OF
Abyssinia in 1868, we learn that forty
four elephants were shipped from
Bombay for use in the campaign.
Each animal was in charge OF two
men. or this number five succumbed
during the campaign. The remaining
thirty-nine rendered valuable services,
beinglentrusted with the transportation,
through a mountainous country. OF
