How TekOa Sees il,
ITekoa Globe |

1t cannot. be denied that there is a
growing feeling among the people all
over the county against Colfax in the
agricultural college muddle. This is
not the only thing that is causing dissat-
isfaction. That court house business is
still ranking down deep in the hearts OF
all those who opposed it in the start, and
many who then favored it have lately
came to think differently because of the
increased cost Of the building Rumors
are rife to the effect that the Colfax peo-
pie are bringing influences to bear on
the county commissioners that will cause
the levying of tax by that body suffi-
Gent to pay off all the indebtedness Of
Whitman county in one year. 1t is
alleged that this is done in order to be
ready for any emergency that may come
along, such as segregation. All these
little things are feeding the old county
division flame into life again and there
is little doubt that the divisionists will
gain much strength therefrom. The
Globe and the people of Tekoa have al
ways felt friendly toward Colfax, but the
actions of that town during the last few
months has shaken our faith to such an
extent that we are ready to denounce
her and her schemes.

The Wheat of the World.

west I OiSJ Trade
The statlstician of the department of
agriculture devotes much space in his
latest report to combat the fallacy that
the wheat production of the world is de-
clning. The average aggregate of the
past six years, including the countries
concerning which either official or com
mercial estimates are attainable. is about
2,122,000,000 bushels. This does not
include Poland, Finland, Turkey in
Europe, Bulgaria, or Roumelia Crops
of Mexico and Of Japan and other
countries of Asia, with driblets of pro-
duction in South American countries
and elsewhere, cannot make the grand
aggregate much less than 2,55O,00O, 900
bushels
The completed record shows that the
largest product was in 1887, and that
the combined aggregate of 1887 and
1888 exceeded that of the two proceed
ing years by about 34S, 100000 bushels,
a sufficient cause for the reduction of
prices that followed. The product of
1889 was small, causing some advance.
That of 1890 appears to be nearly an
average. The product of 1890 shows a
total Of 2. 2O3, $3.50, $50 Winchester bushels
The Russian wheat production, so often
assumed to be decreasing. is not doing
SO. Compared with the wheat product
of the years 1860 and 1872, the average
of which was nearly 100000 bushels
the average of seven years, of which
official reports in detail have recently
been published is about 227,OOO,OOO
bushels an increase of IL per cent.
The annual fluctuations are SO wide
that extreme caution should be exercised
in making sweeping deductionf from the
records of too short period. The Eu-
ropean product of wheat IN 1871 was
1898. s34.519 bushels; that OF 1862
1,1OO,42 ,O99; 1888, 1851, 78l'o99;i
1,351,54s, s99; 1886, 1892, 773,2o6. The
average Of these five years is l'2l9'-
600 600 bushels. while that of the nVe
preceding years gives no larger figures;
and the investigation in 1878 by 'ne
European statistical commission pro
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1891-07-03

duced similar result. 1t should be re
membered, however, that Poland, Fin
land, European Turkey, Bulgaria, Rou-
mella, and certain principalities having
an area of more than 100000 square
miles are not included. There is reason
to believe that the average production
OF wheat of these countries exceeds 25,-
100000 bushels.
The wheat competition Of India, which
has been bugbear in the American
market, is not formidable.

Truth About Farm MORTGAGES.

Spokesman.
Inc democrats, for party purposes, are
fond OF talking about the mortgage bur
dened farmers, and they have reiterated
this unfounded statement of often and at
trlbuted the debts of the agricultural
classes to their being ground down by
tariffs, usurious interest, and multitude
oil other evils that are largely imaginary,
that the farmers have thoughtlessly in
many cases gotten to believe them. The
truth is that the farming classes owe far
less than the business classes, and that
both the federal and state censuses of
mortgages and the Investigation into
the reason why they were made prove
conclusively that the democrats have
been guilty Of exaggeration, to use no
stronger term
The reasons gwen by mortgages for
borrowing on their farms, in IS per cent.
OF the cases Investigated, all over the
country by the census bureau, show that
the loan was made, not because it was
needed to pay living expenses or because
farming had proved failure, but because
the farmer like the commercial man.
wanted to increase his business by buy
ing more land, making improvements or
purchasing more stock. Only fraction
over 9 per cent. of the mortgages were
made because of poverty or distress.
Thus IN one county, SarpY-in Nebraska
the causes which led to the mortgages
are given as follows:
/. Purchase money ....5 SO per cent
z Permanent improvements ...3 per cent
j. Purchase of stock .. 1 per cent
4. To meet personal obligations . per cent
D. 70 invest in more real estate. IT per cent
T.. To invest in merchandise 20 per cent
T. sickness. .............. a per cent
D. Unknown causes ...............614 per cent
1t may be added that the wild state
ments about the immense amount due
on mortgages by the farmers is eqally
ltrue or exaggerated. The ia rmers of
Nebraska who are said to be groaning
under their load of debt, owe less than
S30,0OO,OOO on which they are paving Z
per cent. as an average The business
men OF the state though less numerous
than the farmers, owe far more. There
are l5O,7SS farm holdings in Nebraska
so that the average debt of the Nebraska
farm-owners is about $500 per head
Is there any other class of business men
that can show as low an average as this
In Kansas the mortgaged farmers are
those who live in the grass-hopper dis
tricts. In the other sections as in the
Dakotas and Minnesota it is the universal
report of money lenders that the debts
are being paid
In this state the sale of a farm under a
mortgage is rarity, and prominent
banker who has been loaning money for
seven years, making an average Of 100
loans a year, says that he has never had
TO toreclose a mortgage. The farmers
are paying their interest promptly and
are not borrowing much now in this
state, and this years crop will leave most
of them out of debt.

Canadian Boomers.

The Canadian immigration agent who
has been making his headquarters in
jamestown for month or more is said
to have found number of people here
abouts credulous enough to believe his
stories OF new Eldorado in the north.
And several families, it is reported, are
seriously contemplating removing to the
Canadian frost districts to raise wheat,
Notwithstanding their experience of 1888
in this more southernly locality. The
Alert Is informed that the Alberta boom
er has progressed so far as to induce two
representatives Of the proposed james
River valley colony to visit Canada and
make a report. These two advance
agents will have their expenses paid and
will be under obligations to make favor
able report. This agent was in Foster
county last week and told Robert Hunter
that he had lived in the Saskatchewan
valley for fourteen years and that they
had never been frosted out but once.
Hunter knew thing or two about Cana
dian frosts himself and said he has rela-
tives in the same valley that have only
lived there five years and have been
frosted out three times. Alberta, where
it is proposed to send the colony, IS up
near the place where Gen. Greeley and
his Arctic explorers lived on human flesh
to keep from starving.

Railroad Extensions.

Oakes Republican: The steam shovel
is now at Minor and considerable ma
terial for the extension of that branch OF
the Northern Pacific to Oakes. The die.
tance to be built is only about thirty
miles and work is to begin at once. This
will gives Cakes an air line to Duluth.
And q leading contractor on the $500"
states that work on the Bismarck exten-
sion will begin in earnest on the 10th
inst. There are twenty teams at Boyn-
ton now and number Of men who have
been engaged by Contractor Winston
and who are making the preliminary
arrangements. These two lines in ad-
dltion to the Cakes and Pierre road will
gives Oakes railroad facilities second to
no city in North Dakota, and with those
already iu operation will give us seven
diverging roads. 1t is not difficult to
forecast the future when all these lines
are in operation. And if the shops of the
$500" are built here according to the
original intention. the natural advantages
OF good water, perfect drainage, unhm-
tied artesian power only waiting for
vent, and others too numerous to mention
cannot fail to work out for the Gateway
city greater things than its founders
even dared hope for.

Back From the Coast.

Bishop E. s. Rolfe of Minnewaukan,
he of "the face of bishop and the
heart of sport"-was in jamestown last
Monday and went home Tuesday. He
had just returned from visit to the coast
He says cities are away ahead of the
country, the urban population being
larger than the rural. Business and
building seem to he languishing in the
larger cities, which have been doomed
and built to the limit of present condl-
tions. At Spokane, MI. Rolfe said, there
are not more than half dozen buildings
in process of erection. In that city, he
says, there are probably 1000 vacant
Office rooms. Most of tho small cities,
the size of Jamestown, are fairly pros
porous. Climatlcally speaking, the coun-
try was at it's best when Mr.. Rolfe saw it.

Decreased Acreage.

New Rockford Transcript: Wheat
seeding will be practically ended in this
part of the state by the end of the pre-
sent week. As to the acreage planted in
that grain as compared with last year
the reports from all sections of the coun-
try disclose the fact that there will be
heavy falling off, many farmers estimat-
ing the shortage as high as thirty and
forty per cent. Some examples may be
cited in favor of these estimates. On the
old Buell. place near Auditor Getchell's
farm, where 500 acres were sown in
wheat last year only 100 acres will be
planted this year; D. B. Wellman puts in
200 acres less; A. NJ. Thomson about the
same as last year; Robert O'Neili 100
acres less: J. b. Dafoe about 100 acres
less; G. w. Aldrlch POO acres less and so
on. The lack of seed and the dis
Of crop failure is the cause.

year; and lot l, section 36.142-63, to J. Z.
Herbert, at rental of 9S per year.
These pieces we're leased for term of
four years and one years rent paid in
advance. The latter piece is the G. A.
r. camp ground at Spiritwood lake. It
was leased last year at rental of $50
per annum, but the lease was allowed to
lapse. The piece was bid in by Mr..
f. E. Wallece for Mr.. Herbert
for one seventh that rental. The
G. A. r. post will continue to use it as a
camp ground. Most of the parties who
leased lands last year have paid an
other years rent. Pieces upon which
the second years rent has not been paid
will he offered for lease again. The leas-
ing was adjourned until next Thursday.

OF our most experienced members,
the profit must be much greater
than on any other farm stock.
Some say times change and there will
soon be an Overproduction of sheep as
there now appears to be Of cattle. How
ls 1t possible for this to occur IN the near
future, as according to the statistics there
arc only about forty per cent OF the num-
Der of sheep in the United States to pro-
vide mutton and wool for present de-
mands. Our population has increased
more rapidly than have our sheep, and
with every tlockmaster doing his utmost
to increase his product, it will not be
possible to fully supply American mar
kets twenty years hence. Whether
American 1lockmasters shall have the
control of our markets, is an economic
problem TO be settled later on, but one
thing ls certain, that with present con
ditions there is no other farm stock that
can be relied on to return the high rate
OF profit that sheep have brought their
owners during the last few years. While
we cannot fore-kn what conditions
may exist in the future, it is safe to as
sumo that there will be an evening up.
In other words, we export a vast cattle
products while weimport vast quantity
OF wool; and as a generation at least
must pass away before our tiocks can be
increased to supply the demand of our
own markets the outlook is encouraging.
A word of warning and I shall be done.
The scarcity of feed in the west has COM
PEELED the selling of all kinds of stock,
and large tlocks have been gathered up
in states and territories west and ship
ped into iOw;. to be sold. Sheep take
diseases easily, and Few with scah or
other diseases may infect whole flock.
The men handling them are strangers,
and even if known, and known to be
honest men, it is hard to keep disease
out of large flock gathered from many
points. Having had experience IN this
line I would rather pay double price to
neighbor for sheep known to be sound
than buy those shipped in from any
where and take my chance of disease.

Dan Calvin and President Harrison.
In letter to Otto Wonnenberg, D. J.
Calvin, travelling auditor for the North
ern Pacific, gives the following burlesque
account of his reception by President
Harrison, at Pendleton, Oregon, on the
occasion Of the presidential party's visit
to that place:
Il went down to Pendleton last Thurs
day to see the president and party, and
the cordial reception received would be
enough to make Charley Avis good
republican had he been in my place. As
soon as the president saw me he rushed
up and said: Hello, Calvin old boy He
inq quired after several jamestown people,
wanted to know If Tom Driscoll had yet
removed to Duluth. He then introduced
me to Mr.. Wannamaker. That gentle
man was very pleasant and inquired if
Judge OF was still running on the J. &
N. He said the only thing that had
occurred during the trip to mar his
pleasure was rumor that had reached
him to the effect that Mr.. Null had
resigned. HIS hoped it wasn't so but
seemed to be greatly disturbed over it
and when l bade him good bye his eyes
were full to overhowipg. I next met Mr..
Rusk who asked me all about Boynton
and Kearney and if they had their seed
ing done. Then came Russell Harrison
who enquired for Frapk Beals and
wanted to know if Frank still had his
horse. He also asked for Jim Bellivou
who he said had visited with him at
Helena, and seemed to feel very badly
that he did not meet Will TOpliff when
Will was at Helena. Baby Mckee also
asked about Charley Avis boy and hoped
that when he got old enough he would
be good republican and maybe presi-
dent like grandpa"
