Wonderful Recuperative Power
Of the Northern Pacific.
1t Has Funded It's Debt and There
Are Prospects Ahead for Good
Business.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, May 19.-There was much
bulIish talk to-day regarding the North
ern Pacific on Wall street. The fact
that the company was able to survive the
hardest winter in its exper rienee, aud in
the midst of its haFdshfps can raise large
sum Of money 10 lift the floating debt,
was taken as ample evidence of its
abundant resources and its ability
to recoup itself very fast in more
prosperous times. With the improved
earnings due to the opening of the spring
season and the Worlds Fair traffic, the
very promising movement of grain near at
hand and ready cash for immediate use for
the improvement of the physical condi-
tion, it is said the road is in position to
be able TO compete with any road 10 in its
field. II was noted as somewhat signifi-
cant by Wall street that Colby of the Wis
consin CentraI interest," was putting in
most of his hard work arranging the fund
ing OF the debt of the Northern Pacific.
The Northern Pacific directors met this
afternoon and perfected collateral trust
agreement under the title of the Farmers
loan and Trust Company. The trustees
and committee under the trust are Oswald
Loan and Trust Company; John A.
Stuart, president of the United States
Trust Company; James Stillman. presi-

WAsHINeroS, May 19.-The Agricultu
ral 4beparlment crop report. issued to-day,
says Of California: The season has been
unusually cold. wet and backward, and
frosts at night still prevail The growth
OF wheat Is backward. except in some of
the southern districts, where the soiI.is
sandy.
The crop throughout the State will
hardly reach an average.
Rye Is not much grown, though it gen.
orally succeeds better. than wheat. Barley
ranks next to wheat in Importance. Brew
Ing and feed consume the greater part OF
the CROP as it largely takes the place Of
corn and oats for the latter .purpose. The
nay crop Is backward and in many places
weedy. Alfalfa is very much grown
wherever it can be irrigated.
Thus far the fruit prospects are good
although grapes may yet be injured by
frost, and with the inroads of phylloxera
a large crop cannot be expected except on.
healthy vines, About .one-half Of the
orange crop has been Shipped and gener-
ally fair prices have been Obtained.
Dried fruits have brought good prices aud
are getting very scarce, yet there is danger
from production within few years.
Wines ara still dragging heavily, and
prices, although improved. have not yet
reached paying rate for the producer.
There will be more than the average
area of corn this year, and farmers are in
clined to increase the acreage of sugar
beets. hops, beans, broom corn. Egyptian
corn and ramie.
Oregon winter wheat rye and barley are
backward, but the ground is thoroughly
soaked. and the snow in the mountains
Will furnish tie required moisture later
in the season and insure good crops. The
spring has been unusually wet and cool,
and as consequence spring grain now in
the ground is fully. oHe-third less than
usual at this date. ,tIhe meadows and
pastures are in fine condition.
As result of the delay in spring plow-
ing the area devoted TO oats. potatoes and
corn will be somewhat increased, and tho
generaltendency is to devote more land to
fruit. hay and barley aud less to wheat.

ORovILLE, May 19-An important meet
ing will be held here Tomorrow to take

eating works to cover large section of

mel. through by Miners ranch to Wyan-
dotta and thence to the Honcut. bringing
in sufficient water for the irrigation OF all

that the owners Of $4,000 acres of land
agree to take water when it is brought to
their lands.
The undersigned, Knowing the impor-
tance of such an enterprise for the county,
take this method of calling the citizens
interested together at the Courthouse in

"Will the department deport Chinese

"Our people have au idea that the ad-

said the CORES Spondent.
They have no reason to think so," said
the Assistant Secretary. THE duty OF the
department is to execute the laws of Con-

However, there has been no conference
Of members Of the CabiDet,over tile Chi

settled as to the means to be adopted in
executing the Law, as Secretary Curtis
says; but notwithstanding the assertions
of the Government officers, the truth is
that the law will only be enforced in
perfunctory way with thehope that Con-
gress will wipe it from the statute books.
