CROP SrATI,TlCs.

The crop estimates for the year 1892
have been made up by the commissioner
of agriculture and labor and are given
below. The acreages are the returns Of
the assessors last summer, and the yields
are the estimates of some 500 crop corre-
spondents distributed over every county
in the state. In averaging the estimates
of these correspondents care has been
taken to be as conservative as possible,
and to that end about fifty estimates of
the leading crops were rejected because
thought to be too high. No estimate
was discarded for being too low. The
average yield of wheat for the state here
given is four-tenths of a bushel per acre
higher than the estimate of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington, and
consequently the total yield for the state
will exceed that given in the government
estimate by about 100000 bushels. 1t
is believed, however, that the figures
here given will prove not too high.
The estimates of crop correspondents,
obtained in a similar manner, for 1890
gave the average yield of wheat for the
state at 1864 bushels per acre, while the
returns of tue assessors the next year
gave it at 1853 per acre. In 1891 the
estimates were for that year 22.5S bush
els per acre, and the assessors the next
spring made it 2l.43. In neither of the
former years, however, were anything
like as many high estimates rejected as
has been done this year, and for this
reason the figures here given for wheat
are thought to be sufficiently low. Not
so much confidence is felt regarding the
yield for the other crops, as, although
the high estimates have been pruned
out, correspondents have been found to
overestimate the minor crops more gen.
orally than they do wheat. The figures
for oats, barley, fax, rye, corn and
potatoes are the best that can be made
from the estimates received, but may in
some cases prove to be still too high.
The acreage, average yield and total
product for the state are given in the
following table.

The Last Sad Rites.

Never was sorrow more evident than
upon the faces of those who attended
the ceremonies over the mortal remains
of John Davidson, at the Presbyterian
church Monday afternoon. Mutely, by
their presence, did his innumerable
friends pay their last respects. Sadly
and sorrowfully they listened to prayers
for the repose of the dead and for the
consolation Of the living who remained
to mourn the lost.
From every quarter and from every
station in life came the friends of the de-
ceased to witness the rites by which the
dead vas hidden a last adieu and con-
signed to an eternal home. For his
friends could be found in every walk Of
life. For seventeen years a prominent
figure in business and social circles, his
face was familiar to all. "With malice
toward none, with charity for ALL" he
was universally beloved and respected.
From far and nea they came. From
officials of the road came messages of
coincidence to the family of the deceased.

McCabe sent a telegram to all operators

EDITOR DUNLAP of Valley City, now
that election Is over, is looking around
to see if anything that ought to be taxed
in North Dakota is escaping the tax COL
lector. 1t finds as to the Bismarck
bridge the following:
One of the things which the Times
Record wants to see something done about
during the coming session of the legisla-
ture is the taxing Of the bridge across the
Missouri river at Bismarck. When the
bridge was constructed a charter was
granted by congress to certain parties con-
nected with the Northern Pacific railroad
TOR the purpose OF building and maintain
gained and the bridge completed at cost
of about $1,OOO,0OO. Since its completion,
toll has been charged for every passenger
and every pound OF freight which has
crossed it.
Under the interstate commence law
railroads have no right to charge more for
hauling freight and passengers over one
portion OF their rOadbed than owe any
other portion, the conditions being the
anne
A few years ago the counties of Morton
and Burlelgh endeavOred to tax this bridge,
but were resisted by the company on the
ground that it was part of the rOadbed and
it along with the other taxes on the road.
If the Bismarck bridge is part of the con-
tinu0us rOadbed of the Northern Pacific
and belongs to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company that company has no right
to collect toll. If it is owned by a separate
company the right to collect toll is not dis
puted, but the property is liable to taxation
the same as our print shop. Either the
property should be taxed or the COLLECTION
of tolls stopped, and the Times-Record
wants to see the coming legislative assem-
bly, take hold OF the matter.

A Mistake Made by Many Mothers.

"It's mistake" says physician, 'to
let city children do too much of the
running wild business in their summer
outings. People have the idea that in
the country one may do anything or eat
anything with impunity. Laws for
heaithtul living operate as much under
the pines and by the sea as within the
city limits, but not many realize it.
Mothers often complain to me that the,
bring their children back in the autumn
thinner than when they went away.
'They may do that and still have
them stronger, but many times children
are allowed to run too necessarily. 1t
takes strong child to thrive on con-
tinuous exercise, and city children are
not used to tramping up hill and down
and over rough roads and fields. Make
them stretch out under the trees or on
the river bank an hour every day, and
more if you can, and they'll gain by
it."-Her Point of View in New York

Two rhings for summer Use.

The two most valuable remedies to
have in the house during the summer
are Jamaica ginger and witch hazel, OF
hammemelis. The former will help most
summer stomach disorders, and the lat
ter is good for almost anything, from a
consumptive hemorrhage to a bruised
finger.
By freely bathing the feet with it
every night before retiring, blisters and
corns, which always increase in num-
ber and painfulness during hot weather,
may almost certainly be prevented or
cured.
1t is valuable in cases of bleeding at
the nose-often result of overheating
when it should be freely drawn up
into the nostrils.
Its cooling influence when rubbed ON
the brow and temples will help to drive
away most headaches. A mixture of
witch hazel and camphor is extremely
soothing. New York Press.

--latest Elevator Safety Device.

An invention consisting of quadrant
with projections placed on the wheel OF
the starting machinery, together with
an electrical arrangement by which the
door of the elevator shaft on each floor
is connected with a pair of magnets con-
trolling a lever, which prevents the
starting wheel from moving unless every
door of the shaft is closed and locked, is
the latest elevator safety device. On
opening the door the current is broken
and the armature lever is released.
The machinery cannot be started un-
til the doer is closed again and the
armature lever withdrawn. This in
vention can be supplied at nominal
cost to elevators in any building, and
there is neither reason nor excuse why
every elevator should not be equipped
with it, thus placing one more safeguard
around human life.-New York Telev
