Crop Season Is Backward in Som
Parts of the State

Crop Season Is Backward in Some
Parts of the State.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Aug. A.
Since the flood gates were opened and
the wheat fields covered with water
there has generally been favorable
weather for the grains to come out
without damage. The ground is still
soaked with water, and especially so
in some portions of the valley, but
the acreage thus far damaged is very
much smaller than was anticipated
The situation, however, cannot be
accurately diagnosed until the work
of the separator is completed. The
grain will be slower in filling and the
heads should be larger, but the grain
may not be so hard as in some years
past.
Joseph Mcdonald, of the Chicago
board of trade, is making an investiga-
ton of crop conditions in Minnesota
and North Dakota. From his observa-
ton thus far Mr.. Mcdonald says that
it is impossible to estimate the yield
with any degree of accuracy as yet.
1t may range anywhere from 40, 600, 0CO
to 100000 bushels, depending alto
gether on the weather for the next
five days He also states that about
Fargo and Moorhead he saw many
fields that are so wet it will hardly
pay to cut the grain, even If it can be
cut.
Mr.. Mcdonald left yesterday, taking
the train for the West. Before leaving
he stated that from Langdon to Port
land he saw two harvesters cutting
barley and three miles further he saw
a crew threshing barley of this years
crop. This" said Mr.. Mcdonald
beats anything that 1 ever saw be-
fore in North Dakota" Mr.. Mcdonald
says the barley crop on the Grand
Forks county poor farm at Arviila
has been harvested. The grain was Sc
heavy that it took sixty pounds OF
twine to bind eighty acres.

TRADE WITH JAPAN.
j. W. BIabOn, Back From the Orient
Says Business Looks Good.

Joseph W. Blabon, purchasing agent
of the Great Northern railway, has re-
turned from an absence Of three
months, most Of which he spent in the
various treaty ports OF China and
Japan on business for his company.
While Mr. Blabon has little to say
touching the nature of his mission, he
speaks enthusiastically about the
business being done by the Oriental
steamship company, which is a con-
nectiOn of the road. He explains that
large quantities Of mating was
shipped into this country on steamers
which went over laden with -four, and
that this mating reached this country
before the duty was placed on the
staple. What is sent here in years to
come will, Of course. be taxed duty
until the tariff is changed. Mr.. Bla-
bon has clever things to say of the
natives of both countries, but espec-
tally Of the japanese The talk Of
war. he says, has inflamed some of the
more ignorant class, but the intelligent
japanese desire war with this country
about AS much as do intelligent Amer
leans. The Japs are making great
strides in commerce and manufacture
ing, as is best shown by the prospects
of an enormous increase in the demand
FOR American flour, great quantities of
which are even now sent each week
TO japanese ports.

DIES MONIES, To-, Aug. 4.-The full
plan of the north and south railway
from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico
is outlined in a circular sent out by
President E. E. Carpenter, of this city
In a letter sent in addition to the cir
cular President Carpenter says: I'VE
have contracted to build 500 miles OF
railway in Iowa and Minnesota to
connect with the gulf railway systems
end the Minneapolis & ST. Louis anG
Northern Pacific railways. When we
commenced the surveys in 1898 it was
to connect with the Rock Island at
RuthVen, due north only to Morton,
Mimi But when the Jackson Southern
became identified in 1895 with the
Gulf & Manitoba interests, we made
arrangements for an extension north
and a branch northeast to make a
short line from Minneapolis southwest
toward Sioux City and Omaha shorter
than the Omaha road. We are not
working in Minnesota yet, as we de-
sire to get the Iowa and Missouri lines
we'll under way"
The circular relates to the agree
merts made last month between the
Gulf & Manitoba road and D. N. STAN
ton < Co.. New York railway con-
The companies propose building from
the Missouri state line, near Enod, in
Taylor county, Iowa, to Brainerd,
MINI, and a connection with the Min
neapOlis & st. Louis railway in Iowa,
passing through Taylor. Adams, Adair,
Guthrie, Carol. Sac, Buena Vista,
Clay and Dickinson counties, as near
as may be to their county seats. The
capital stock and bonded debt are each
fixed at $4,000 per mile, and the cities
and towns in Iowa and Minnesota in
teresteG in the plan are expected to
take stock 20 the amount Of $4,000 per
mile. which may later be exchanged
for freight and passenger transporta-
ton: all stock TO provide for a con-
sOlidatiCn of the companies when built
and can be legally consolidated
The companies now have over TWEEN
ty-five miles of track laid and are to
connect the lines in Iowa and Minneso-
Ia with the Gulf of Mexico by connect
ing the lines with the Kansas City,
Pittsburgp & Gulf railway and Gal
weston. Tex, by the Gulf & Interstate
railway, and to make traffic agree
ments giving every other railroad with
whom it may connect the right to joint
rates upon all business. The con-
tractors agree that they will build the

as fast as funds for each such sec
ton are provided by the issuance of
stock and bonds.
There is great interest in the plan
end all through those parts of south
western Minnesota and northern Iowa
where the road is supposed to run.
but there are grave doubts whether
any of these counties will be willing
to aid to the extent of $4,000 a mile,
or about 100000 per county, even I'M

GOOD TIMES CIRCULAR.
General Passenger Agent Whitney
Writes q Short Piece

A brief but interesting circular has
been prepared for the agents Of the
Great Northern road by General Pas
senger and Ticket Agent Whitney. 1t
is as follows:
The conditions FOR better times in this coun-
try have not been good for several years.
AS to the proof of the returning tide of pros
pertty. the commercial agencies, Bradstreet
and Dun, have gathered evidence based upon
these facts:
The crops are good.
The price of wheat, cotton and other staples
has advanced. which means millions of dol
lars for producers.
The crops in foreign countries are short
which means continued exports and good
prices.
Merchants. feeling the stimulus of better
times, are buying larger stocks than for sew
eral years past.
Railways are having more traffic at this
period than for a long time.
Manufacturers are putting their mills and
factories in order for business not known for
years.
Our exports are largely In excess of imports
which makes us a creditor nation, giving us
the balance Of trade, which for some time has
been against US.
The activity in the mining districts with d
largely increased output Of the yellow blood
of commerce has a strong tendency to make
still better prices.
The general hopefulness among farmers
which has not prevailed for several years.
The easy condition of the money market and
large loans seeking investment.

Some Western Passenger AssOcia-

Some Western Passenger AssOcia-
ton Matters Under Consideration.
Messrs. Lyman and Conley, of the
Burlington and Milwaukee passenger
departments, returned yesterday from
Chicago, where they attended the first
days session of the Western Passen-
ger association meeting. According to
these gentlemen among the other mat
tiers which the association Is interested
in, is the entrance Of the so-called
weaker lines, Minneapolis & ST. Louis,
Wisconsin Central and Great Western
into the association. The reason for
such a desire on the part of the pas
senger men who are already in must be
obvious.
The talk OF decentralization incident
to the Christian Endeavor business
and the flooding of the local market
with the return portions OF tickets,
they aver is much exaggerated
Another bone of contention at the
session, still undecided, is the matter
of the rates made for the merchants in
this territory during August. The G.
A. X. rate matter was slated to come
up yesterday. but no action had been
taken upon it when these two gentle
men left the Windy City

FOR THE KLONDYKE.
Large Number of Persons En- Route
to Alaska.

Among the gold hunters who left
here yesterday for the Alaskan fields
were: r. p. and Rolla Camden, sons
of United States Senator J. N. Cam
den, Of Parkersburg, w. Va; c.. j.
Brown, of Louisville, and c. A Swear
ingen.
r. p Camden is a former resident Of
this city, and regretted that he had not
the time to spare to visit some Of his
old friends. He explained that he and
his friends from the South had got the
gold fever, and were starting to Klon-
dyke with view to getting there in
time to winter, so as to be on hand in
the spring before the rush began. The
members of the party are we'll equipped
and expect to bring back million and
a half in gold each after an absence of
a year or two. They will proceed to
st. Michaels by the steamer Liza An
dersen, and will proceed thence up the
Yukon to Dawson City, reaching there
they expect by the middle of Septem-
Der.
There were between fifty and one
hundred passengers on the overland
trains yesterday headed for the Klon-
dyke.
