May Import Wheat.

What seems to be trustworthy indl.
cation of tho falling off in the winter
wheat crop comes from Kansas. The
State Millers' association in It's annual
meeting at Hutchinson compiled the
Kansas mlllers' estimate OF the harvest
Reports are not in from all counties, but
sufficient returns have been made to in
dicate 1895 yield OF from six to ten mil
lion bushels OF wheat in the state, about
40 per cent. of which will be good enough
to mill. A committee was appointed
with authority to negotiate for an emer-
gency rate from Minnesota, the Dako-
tas, Oregon, Washington and Utah suf-
ficient to meet the demand of Kansas
mills. Tits estimated that to keep the
leading merchant mills of the state CO.
ing, from 100000 upward must be i'm
ported. A committee was authorized to
at once arrange for the importation of
Russian hard winter wheat from the
Crimea. All the mlllers express deter
mination to hold their -four trade if they
have to import wheat throughout the
year. They declare that the present
state of affairs was never approached,
much less paralleled in Kansas.

Make Money in Wheat.

Under the above head the following
advertisement of brokers' firm, with
the reasons founded on what appears q
solid basis for the advice, appeared in
the Chicago Times Herald of the 23d:
Wheat closed yesterday with net
gain of HOBS cents over the latest
price of Saturday. All the foreign mar
kets we're firm and higher, while the
news from the northwest confirmed re-
ports of crop damage during the last Is
days, and, as these reports we're accom-
panied by buying orders, the market
responded promptly and advanced stead
lily, closing at 6S5s. The government
report issued July 10 would indicate a
yield of about 390,OOO,O00 bushels, but as
these figures were on the condition July
l, and as considerable damage has been
done to spring wheat since that date, we
belle the crop will fall at least 25,-
100000 short of this estimate. With the
present supply of wheat almost ex-
hausted and only a small crop about to
be harvested, prices seem certain to ad-
vance. We believe September wheat
will sell above Is cents before Aug. l.
Margin trading may be all wrong for
the average man and as dangerous as
speculation can be, but the above is
interesting to farmers who raise the real
wheat at least.

Arrested for Forgery.

Henry West, alias Geo. Smith. or vice

on account of a so check, forgery.

negotiating for a large bill of groceries
which be said he and his father would
need with their threshirg ouift which
they would run this fall HIS father, he
claimed. lived near Corinne. TO pay for
the goods he asked for blank check to
be filled out by his father, who was said
to be stopping at the Gladstone hotel.
He didn't get the goods-and he never
came back. Thursday evening he
worked ten dollar check off on Owen
Martin. getting two dollars on it.
and later when the signature of
A. J. Harris, for whom he worked
two or three years ago,
was discovered to be forged, his arrest
was secured. The forged check is
not the one obtained from Mr..
Crum and would indicate that he had
tried to work some one else.
Mr.. Harris says that man by the
name of Henry West cooked for his
threshing outfit two or three years ago,
but has not been employed by him since.
Mr.. Harris has given no checks for sew.

Expensive Street Lighting.

For the time the street lights burn 1t
will bs seen on very slight examination
OF the schedule that the city is paying
q pretty stiff price for the lights. The
months Of June, July and August, under
the Philadelphia schedule, have only
1927 hours during which the company
is required to furnish lights. This at
the rate the cityis paying, S. per month
per light, or 500 per year, is less than l =
hours night. Take three of the winter
months when lighting begins earlier.
On this same schedule for the months Of
November, December and January there
would be 222 hours, or only so hours
more than the three summer months.
For the six months, averaged, it would
still be less than two hours night the
lights burn, for which the people are
paying at the rate of $500 per month
per lamp. This is more than, or at least
as much as, other towns pay for all
night lights.
Electric lighting is becoming cheaper
elsewhere. In Sheboygan, Wis, it is said
that all uight electric lamps are had for
$50 year, or in that case, at 5000 a
month. The company is now charging
nearly as much for | = hours night as
the city formerly paid for all night and
coal then was at least a third higher.
Coal can be contracted for now at $3.50
a ton when formerly it cost $3.50, Coal
is now the chief item Of expense. James
town Is paying a good round sum for its
street lights and getting very little
light. The people would like to have
more light for less money and it seems
that the last few years have brought
such reductions in the cost OF lighting
that they are entitled to it.

Higher County Tax Levy.

The county board Of equalization has
made tax levy for the current fiscal
year aggregatlng $4,000. This amount
is divided among the different funds as
follows: County general fund, $21, 1000;
sinking fund. $4,000; road fund, $1,000,
bridge fund $4,000. The tax levy is
$1,000 greater than one year ago, $4,000
larger than that made in 1898; $1,000
greater than the year preceding that
and $1,000 greater than in 81.
Considering the fact that county taxes
are already high it may be we'll to con-
slider tie increases in the tax levies which
have been made since 1S90-covering a
period Of five leyies. During the past
five years the aggregate amount con-
sldered necessary for the management Of
the affairs of the county have increased
38 per cent. A like increase in the sue
ceeding years would mean tax levy
in 1900 of S47.61O.
The greatest increase in the county's
exper ses has occurred in the gen eral
fund which was increased l2112 per cent
in '93 and 1875 per cent in 94-no in
crease was thought advisable this year.
The sinking fund levy was the same in
81 and '92 as this year and thousand
dollars less in '93 and '94. The road
fund levy was only $4,000 in 81 since
when it has remained at $1,000. In like
manner the bridge fund was increased in
90 -S5CO--and since has remained at
$4,000. The aggregate of all levies for
the years named is as follows: In 81,
$25,O0O; '92, S29,50O: '93, s3O,5o0; 94,
s335OO and '95, 34.500; showing an in
crease of l8 per cent in '92 over 81, an
increase of 81 per cent in '93, 9.S per cent
in '94 and per cent this year.

Experiments in Irrigated Land.

MELLETTE, S. D., July 21.-lt is not
generally known that there IS being con-
Quoted at this point series Of expert
ments that will solve once for all the
question of irrigation, and will also de-
termine which varieties of the different
kinds of cereals, grasses, vegetables,
trees, ETC., are best suited to the soil and
climate of the Northwestern country.
The Hunter farm comprises 800 acres,
every foot Of which can be irrigated.
The artesian we'll on this farm is l.O65
feet deep, six inches in diameter, and
has 9 pressure of 165 pounds to the
square inch. The flow from this well is
sufficient to cover five acres of ground
with eight inches of water every twenty
four hours.
The John A. Salzer Seed Company, of
Lacrosse. Wis, has an experimental
plat of twenty acres on this farm, on
which is growing $500 varieties of vege-
tables. cereals. grasses, forage. plants
and trees that can be raised in this

and weather record Is kept. These
are under supervision of the State Agri-
cultural College, of Brookings. On the
State experimental plat the same vari-
cites Of vegetables, grasses, cereals. ETC.,
will be planted as on the Salzer plat, and
they will receive the same treatment IN
every way. except that they will get no
water whatever other than rain These
plats being side by side. it viii lie posi-
BILE to determine at glance what irriga-

wheat stalks, and to discover them in a

essary. Theories advanced as to what
smut really is, and what produces it, are
numerous and varied. One is that 1t re-
suits from the way wheat has stooled
this year, which ls different from the
stooling process OF any previous year IN
this country. A good many stalks have
risen from one kernel, and failing OF sus-
tenance, drop back and partly decay,
and this piece OF abbreviated vegetation
is termed smut Whatever theory may
be right, we have it with US this year,
and in larger quantity than ever before.

A New Elevator Gong Up and Prep.
paratiOns Made to Handle
Good CrOp

The James Johns Elevator Company
have secured control of the former
l)ickey and Brewer grain warehouse at
Dickey and are building 25x6O addi-
ton. An elevator will be put in-run
by Rasoline-and the capacity of the
building increased from fifteen to
twenty-five thousand bushels. This will
make the second elevator in the town, in
addition to warehouse
The yield in the country tributary to
that shipping point is expected to aver
age about fifteen bushels per acre. The
grain is now ID the dough, the weather
is propltious, there is enough mois-
ture in the soil to mature the grain, and
an excellent grade OF wheat, should
smut not make its appearance in appre-
ciable quantities, is expected. The grain
is filing out to the tip OF the heads and
most of the "houses' contain two ker.
nels.
Hayiug has been in progress for ten
days, but has been greatly delayed on
account OF frequent showers. Grass that
was cut last week is in some cases lying
on the ground yet. But few attempts
have been made to cure millet and tame
grasses, even where tall enough to cut,
owing to the unfsvorable weather Wild
hay Is scarce and for the few slouRhs
unclaimed by legal right there 1s a
scramble and the race is to the swiftest.
Considerable complaint is heard at the
small stations, tributary to jamestown
on the Valley branch, because the train
service has cot yet been arranged to bet
ter care for the rush of fall business.
Those having business to transact in this
city ind it more convenient to drive in
than to wait at an unlighted station
until one and two o'clock in the morning
for train and then have to spend day
aud the next night here before they can
return. The inconvenience in billing
wheat also, at the stations where there
are no agents-of having to stay up
until after midnight to secure the con-
ductor's slgnature-is not conducive to
the use of language appropriate for pub
licatlon. Considerable freight is now
being received at each way station and
the brakemen hustle boxes, barrels,
machinery and lumber in way to make
the perspiration flow. They catch it
| both ways. The business at Dlckey
station alone runs up to over $3.50 a day,
at times, and the shipping season has
only begun. 1t is not improbable that
the Northern Pacific will put on daily
mixed service for the convenience of
themselves and patrons.
The farmers are using more lumber
this season than ever before. Repairs
to houses, stables or granaries are being
made, or new buildings built. Manager
Bradway, of Ingalls, & Co.'s general
stores, is selling large quantity of lum-
Der. Half dozen car loads DOW on the
road are not expected to last more than
two weeks
