The prospect now is that this
years wheat crop will be the larg-
est on record. Estimates of the
crop predict from 500 to $50 mil
lions of bushels. The best part of
the outlook is that prices are likely
70 keep up. Europe will want from
l6O to 200 million bushels of this
crop and will pay gold for it.

It is reported that the Otter Tail
County Alliance seriously contem-
plates building a farmers railroad
from Lake Superior through that
county to the western line of Minne-
sofa, to be operated at cost. We have
no sneer to give at this proposition,
nor any evil to predict as to its outs
come. 1t is a perfectly lawful expert
meut, and if made may prove an i'm
mensely useful one. BY all means let
it be tried, on large scale, if possible,
and, if that may not be done, let it be
tried ON small scale. The expert
ment will determine, practically and
irrevocably, number of things which
are rs yet matters of debate and specu-
lation. Men able to run large farms,
cooperative stores. and other enter
prises, can find among their number
men of executive ability to run a line
of railway and thereby attain exper-
ience enough to operate larger ones.
They will ask no astounding salaries,
at least until the business will allow
them. Expenses can be put at the
minimum. Watered stock will be
thing unknown. To q farmers road,
land owners will, of course, give free
right of way, besides liberal subscrip-
tions of stock. The bonds of the road
will be easily foated, of course, at low
interest. Intelligent farm hands will
work as train men, brakemen, conduc-
tors, station agents, etc., for the same
wages that they have been accustomed
to work on farms. Fares and freights
will be put down to the very lowest
figures, so that men in moderate cir
cumstances can travel more frequently
than they now can afford to do, and in
the matter of freights the burdens
heretofore complained Of can be lifted,
especially if the patronage of the far
mers be literally bestowed. Let the
experiment be honestly made. AS
nothing succeeds like success, if it
succeed, there will be no one dissatis-
fed. If it fail, the experience attained
will probably be worth all that it will
take out of the pockets of those
making it.

The Development of the tin
mines of Harvey Peak Company is
to 60 on with energy at once. A 25O
ton concentrating mill is deter
mined upon. Shafts on the Neva-
da No. 2 and the cowboy will be
sunk as rapidly as possible to the
depth of 1000 feet at least. The
Harney Peak Tin company is said
to be a very wealthy corporation,
and can furnish the means necessa-
ry to accomplish what they have
undertaken. The American tin
will give an impetus to the iron
trade, as tin plate is only timed
iron. In this connection we wish
to remark that it is not an Ameri-
can spirit which, either from COM
mercial, or political considerations,
sneers at the tin industry. We
have an immense and rapidly null
tiplying population to provide with
employment. We have, in addition
to our native born Americans, a
large importation of people from
other lands. We cannot afford to
neglect any of our resources or
means of wealth. We have invi-
ted Industrious people from all the
world to share our resources and
share our prosperity. It is due to
them, and it is due to our own
children that our resources one and
oil should be SO developed, and our
industries so diversified, that all
honest workers may find liveli-
hood and thrift. The American
tin developement will mean more
demand for American iron. More
work in mines and mills More
demand for bread .stuffs, and for
oil the supplies wealth producing
population will call for. .s. ~ -. =

THE GRAND ARMY. REUNION.

THE GRAND ARMY: REUNION.
The account We gave last week Of
the Reunion brought US to the last day
of tho occasion. From the beginning
the weather was unfavorable-scarcely
an hour Of bright sunshine being al
lowed the dwellers in the camp. Yet
the attendance was large all the time,
and the best Of feeling prevailed. The
''boys;' made the best of it, and turned
all adverse experiences into occasion
for fun and merriment. The women
and children also bore up bravely un-
der all discouragements. The large
tent was crowded at every meeting and
camp are. The afternoon exercises on
the last day we're informal, being
chiefly recitals of the scenes of the war
by the veterans present. In the even-
ing addresses were given by Rev.
Brown, of Worthington, Revs. Will
liams and Benson, of Luverne, Senior
Vice Commander Doak, Of ~SlaytoI,,
with frequent interludes of humorous
speech from Comrade Town, the Com
mander. Music was furnished by the
Slayton quartette, the Worthington
Glee Club, the Ranjo and Guitar Club
and the Brass Band, of Worthington.
Notwithstanding all drawbacks, which
were only those caused by the rain,
the occasion was full Of interest-as
much 80 as many held under more ia
vOrable auspices in that regard. Com
mander Town, for many days-we may
say weeks, gave his whole time to the
work of preparation for the encamp-
ment, leaving nothing undone to make
every guest comfortable. and the exer-
cises entertaining. Post Commander
Oliver, and all the encampment and
Post officers were also faithful In
work. The citizens co-operated earn
estly, and We are glad the reunion was
held here. and that it ended in the best
of feeling.

Prof Wildron, of the agricultu-
raj college of North Dakota, has
been looking up the grasshopper
question in that state. He reports
hoppers at two places near Orr,
Grand Forks county. At present
they are wingless and harmless,
and if they can be destroyed imme-
diately little harm will be done.
he states that in one place they
cover the ground for over mile in
length and from one to five rods
wide, and from an inch to a foot in
depth. A deep ditch has been dug
around them to prevent escape un
til they can bs trapped and des-
troyel. Prof. Wildron will super
intend the work of their destruc-
tion. The Governor has given in
struction to spare neither money
nor other expense in eradicating
these pests, and the authorities are
confident that this can be done be-
fore damage can be- done to the
crops.
Ex-senator Joseph E. Mcdonald
died at his residence in Indianapo-

ly 80 years Of age, but maintained
q vigorous activity until his last
illness. He had held important
offices in the State of Indiana, and
had represented it in both houses
OF Congress, and was a pure and
able statesman. He was the COM
le itor of Gov. o. P. Morton for
the oftise of Governor in the time
OF the war. Although defeated by
the great war governor he was on
more than one occasion the friend
and adviser of the governor when
critical and troublesome periods
occurred. He was the true friend
of his country at all times. He,
as Democrat, never followed in
the train of the leaders who sought
to make his party the Instrument
of evil. He believed in the Union
and gave support to all measures
for overcoming the rebellion. He
was protectionist and never fol-
lowed the free traders of his party.
He believed in a sound currency
and the maintenance of the public
credit He was a patriotic gentle
man, and hence was held in high
esteem by men of all opinions. At
the unwilling of the monument
erected in honor of Gov. Morton
he was one of the principal speak
ers, and warmly praised his old
time competitor. He died in the
Christian faith, and his memory
will be admiringly cherished.

attention Of citizens again to the fact
that another new industry is about to
be started in Fergus Falls-the break
ing and hacking of flax for the new
linen mill at Minneapolis. W. T. Bill,
who is at the head of the enterprise,
says bis machines are not here yet, but
that this was six or seven tons of par
ticularly fine straw which had already
been stripped and retted by the farmer
near Elizabeth, from whom he bought
it, and he was storing it in order to be
ready to begin work as soon us the ma

Small Pox.

| StnhAI FOV.
We understand that there are rumori
in the surrounding country that there arc
six cases of small pox 10 this city. The
truth is that there is not single case,
neither has there been recently.
The disease has prevailed somewhat in
Trenton, and there have been twenty cases
there 10 all. Three of these have died
and eight have recovered and nine are
still sick, but are improving.
The fact that cases exist in Trenton,
and the danger of infection, has led our
Board of Health to arrange with two of
our physicians to vaccinate, free OF
charge, all people who call Mt the Council
Room any day this week, as follows ;
Ladies and children from until O'Clock,
P. M. Gentlemen from until o'clock
1t is hoped that all who have not been
vaccinated will take the trouble to call at
the above hours. The best preventive of
small pox is vaccination.

MIR. William T. White died suddenly
at his residence on Delevan street. in this
city, on Saturday morning, the 7th inst
He was as we'll as usual the day before
and while at his regular work near three
o'clock that afternoon he suddenly fell
with pain in his head, vomiting and
feeling OF numbness in his right hand and
arm. He was soon carefully removed to
his home, where in less than an hour he
became unconscious and so remained till
early next morning when he died. 1t was
severe attack of apoplexy, as diagnosed
by his attending physicians.
Mr.. White was man of good habits
and of active life, and always turned
W hatever he controlled to the best &C
count. EARLY in life, when about fifteen
years of age he became devoted Chris
tian and consistent member of the Bap-
list Church.
When about fifteen years OF age, he
commenced TO learn his trade with J. II.
Butterfoss, that of timer and Gamer
aud was with Mr.. Butterfoss from the be-
ginning of bis now great canning interest
in this city, and since the death of Mr..
Butterfoss, he has filled his place In that
industry as careful and successful man
ager, in his quiet way.
Mr.. White married Miss Emma Todd,
daughter of Mr.. jeremiah Todd, and to
them were born two children. The son of
five years sleeps with him in death, while
the mother and little daughter sustain an
inconsolabe loss.
Mr.. White had many friends that were
endeared to him by strong ties and above
all he lived so as to be missed. He was
in the 38th year Of his age. The funeral
services will be held in the Baptist Church
tomorrow Thursday afternoon, when
Rev. O. II. Thomas, of Philadelphia, will
conduct the services, assisted by other
pastors of this city.

Last Friday evening, on the up train
which passes this city at 6S2, an Italian
was found on board with clearly marked
indications of having the small pox. As
soon as the case was observed, passengers
were gotten out of the car and the Car
was side-tracked and fumigated. The
man got off at Byram station, and it is
reported is now at Point Pleasant. He
came from Trenton. If the Trenton au-
thorities do not show any more care than
this of their small pox cases, they may
expect people to stay away from their city.
