In many localities the harvest is
about finished and considerable grain
has been threshed. The yield is said
to be much better than it was antici-
pated the early part of the season
Many fields of grain which was con-
sidered almost worthless few weeks
ago now show up in good shape and
will yield from fifteen TO twenty five
bushels per acre.
The potato crop looks promising
although injured slightly by recent
frosts. An average second crop OF
lucern is being cut and saved in gooc
condition. The prospects for al
abundance of fruit is good.
The ranges are dry and poor, bu

The time has arrived when those
seking homes on the public lands of
the west must turn their attention to
the arid districts.
The success which has been attained
in the cultivation of these lands has
made them partiularly desirable to
home seekers, if water can be obtained.
The congress to be held in Los
Angeles on the 10th of October, 1893,
will doubtless be attended by large
number of delegates from the states
and territories in this country where
irrigation is necessary, and from for
eign countries where people are more
or less directly interested in this sub
ject.
The Importance of this congress,
made up, as it will be, Of persons ac-
lively interested in the development
of the west should not be overlooked.
The matters to be discussed, are Of
immediate and momentous interest to
our state.
In the western states and territories
there are large bodies of valuable land
waiting the introduction Of water, by
a canal, or other means, our own state
having larger and more valuable tracts
than any of the others. Exchange OF
ideas of writer's and others having
practical experience in this matter
must prove highly beneficial. The
government of the United States is
taking an active interest in the pro
posed congress, and Mr.. Gresham has
issued circular to the diplomatic Off
GERS of the United States, calling thei
attention to it and asking their co
operation in making it a success. | be
lieve that meeting should be held il
each county in the state where irriga
tion is necessary, and delegates choso'
to attend this congress, at least on
delegate from a county The expense
of delegates will not be great, as tn
railroad companies will doubtless max
low rates for them.
The press of the state is respectful
asked to publish this letter.

EXTRACT FROM BRYAN'S SPEECH
The Young Intellectual Giant of Nebraska
Pours Forth Stream of Eloquenoe.

Pours Forth Stream of Eloquence.
"The democratic party today
stands between two conflicting forces.
On the one side stands the corporate
interests of the United States, the
moneyed interests, aggregated wealth
and capital-imperious, arrogant,
compassionless. They are able to
subscribe magnifcently to campaign
funds. They are able to crush, with
their all prevailing influence, any who
may dare oppose, and TO those who
fawn and hatter they can bring ease
and plenty These demand that the
democratic party shall become the
agent to execute their merciless de-
crees. On the other side stands an
unnumbered throng of those who gave
to the democratic party name, and
for whom it has assumed to speak.
Work worn and dust begrimed, they
make their mute appeal and too often
find their cry for help beat in vain
against the outer walls, while others
less deserving gain ready access to
legislative halls. This army vast and
daily vaster growing, pleads with the
+ democratic party to be its champion
in this terrible conflict. 1t cannot

r elry; it cannot march its phalanxes il

. float on the breeze. Its battle hymn
is Home Sweet Home; its war cry
