THE GRAND JURY REPORT
County Affairs Since the Last Grand
Jury Report.
The Investigation Results with
Favor to All County Ofic1als.
Clerk Reek ExOnerated.

At 3 o'clock this afternoon the Crane
jury submitted it's report to Judge
Brantly, and after it's read1,g the jury
was discharged.
Following is the report:
10 the Hon. Theodore Brantly, Judge 81
the district court of the third Judicial
district Of the state of Montana, in and
for Granite county.
In the matter Of the report of the
grand jury for the October term.
We beg to report that in all criminal
matters brought to our notice by formal
charges or otherwise, we have made
careful, painstakiEg Investigations, and
have taken such action in each case ae
to your jury seemed proper in the
premises.
Ascartaining that matters brought into
controversy by your last grand jury, for
the March term of the above entitled
court, was IN process Of adjudication in
the proper courts of this state, we have
deemed it inexpedient to examine into
county affairs prior to the report Of
said grand jury. We have Investigated
the offices of the various county officials
OF Granite county since said date and
find that they have been properly and
legally conducted, and with credit to the
several officials and to the best interests
OF said county. -
Having heard from common rumor
accusations that a record of the clerk
and recorders Office OF said county-(to
be specific: certain lease to the county,
executed by John w. Morse, to said
county)-had been falslfied and altered,
we, your grand jury, considered it ad-
v1sable that said rumor should be fully
investigated, to the end that justice
might be done in the premises, and find
that said lease was not, at the timo the
alleged alteration was made, record of
said county, and that the charge against
said office is unfair and unjust We
therefore take pleasure in fully exonera-
ting the clerk and recorder Of Granite
county from all blame in the change or
alteration of said lease
We desire to return our thanks to this
honorable court and to the several
officials Of Granite county for the uni
form courtesy and kindness shown us in
the performance OF our duties; and
having fully performed all the duties
submitted to our charge to the best of
our knowledge and ability, we most re-
spectfully ask that we be discharged
from further attendance on this honor
able court.

he spent many hours in the workings of

THE CORN CROP.
A Heavy Shortage Is Reported from
Many States.

New York, Sept. 21.-The World pub
fishes detailed statement from hundreds
of western towns, showing heavy short
age in the corn crop. The World says:
The biggest crop raised by a single
country is Indian corn and the United
States is the country that raises it. In a
good year the United States produces q.
OOO, 100000 bushels of this staple and has
produced more. At the average market
price these 2,OOO,OOO,O0O bushelsare worth
81 ,O00,O00,O00, or about ten times as much
as the gold production OF. the whole world
for year. A severe drouth has greatly
reduced the yield. just how much is
what many people would be very glad to
know, and the World therefore prints to-
day reports from nearly 200 correspond
ents scattered througho ut the corn region.
These reports cover the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota. The twelve states in
clude the great corn belt of the United
States, and in an average year produce
about IS per cent of the corn crop. The
government report makes the yield this
year /, 1,1O0,O0O,OOO bushels, but most all Of
the corn authorities say this is too low.
These reports indicates about two
thirds of an average crop or in the neigh
borhood of l,3O0,0OO,0O0. The greatest
reduction has been in the states west OF
the Mississippi, and their loss has been
heavy. Kansas, which raises more than
I5O,OOO,OOO bushels in a good year, re.
ports only 100000 bushels. But the
states east of the Mississippi river, where
rain is more certain quantity, pull up
the average.

Bulletin No. 1S:--The past week has
been very favorable for ripening, curing
and harvesting all products. Warm,
clear days and cool nights, with little or
no rainfall, were the prevailing condi-
tions.
Harvesting and fruit picking have gone
forward rapidly and another week of
favorable weather will see it nearly. com
pleted.
In the northern part of the territory
light frosts did some damage to tender
garden vegetables, on the 18th and 18th,
and in the northern counties corn was in
jured in localities, but the total damage
was not serious. The grass on the cattle
ranges is curing nicely and should make
good feed for winter grazing.
NOTE TO CROP REPORTERS.
The next issue of this bulletin will be
the last for the present season. Please
make your next report as full as possible,
stating whether the products of your
locality have been above or below the
average in yield and quality. Please
state what damaging conditions, if any
have existed during the season and the

TO CONFER AT Ell PASO.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Rep
resentatives to Discuss Trans
continental Rates Next
Week.

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-Efforts are to
be made to adjust the differences now
existing between the Southern Pacific and
the Atlantic & Pacific. Both companies
have appointed representatives to meet
for conference at Ell Paso next week.
Gentlemen authorized to speak for the
Southern Pacific, j. G. Stubbs, L. Fl.
Goodman and J. A. Fillmore, have left for
Ell Paso. One of the main points of con-
tention has been in regard to granting
side rides to through passengers without
extra charge. The Santa Fe managers,
who control the Atlantic & Pacific, have
contended they had right to carry pas
sengers from Chicago to San Francisco
through Los Angeles instead of by
THE MOST DIRECT ROUTE.
A few months ago the Southern Pacific
put in force rule allowing passengers
from Los Angeles to Chicago to make
side ride from Tracy to San Francisco
and then east by way of Sacramento
without extra charge. The Santa Fe peo-
pie declared that this was equivalent to a
81 cut on the through rate and made
corresponding reduction, and the South
ern Pacific retaliated. At length truce
was struck with the understanding that
the dispute was to be referred to the rep
resentatives Of opposing sides.

OFFICIAL CHANGES.
Many Promotions in the Army Soon
to be AnnOunced-ThOse in the
Lead for Elevation.

Many changes in the official ranks of
the army are to come on within the next
sixty days.
The event of principal interest to the
army is the retirement from active SER
vice of Major General O. o. Howard, the
second ranking officer of the army, which
will occur on his Gath birthday, Novem-
ber 8. Six brigadier generals are eligible
for the prospective vacancy, each of
whom is of high military repute. These
are General Ruger, General Merritt, Gen
eral Brooke, General McCook, General
Wheaton and General Otis. They are all
distinguished and capable officers. AL
though it is within the discretion of the
president to select any one of those
named, the impression prevails in usually
well-lnformed army circles that the
chances are strongly in favor of General
Ruger, now in command of the depart
ment of California. He is first in senior
ity.
General McCook is the first of the six
to retire for age. He will leave the active
list in April next, and his remaining short
term of service is believed to destroy his
chances of preferment. 1t may, however,
prove the reverse. There have been many
exceptions to this rule, and the case OF
General McCook may be another. His
promotion would only POSTPONE that OF
General Ruger or one of his colleagues a
few months. General Ruger is the next
brieadier general to retire, He will reoch
the limit in 1897.
