for even hog feed. The loss in North

estimated at 100000 to $4,000, 900 bush
els.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 20.-The rain
and snow throughout Red River Valley
farmers with grain unthrashed and the
prospect is that much of it will remain
In stack until spring. This is especially
the case in interior townships and To-
calities at a distance from the railways
and villages. Just what the loss will
be it is impossible to estimate. but it
is safe to say the greater portion of
that which remains in stack through
out the winter will be of little value ex-
cept for fodder.
Samples of wheat brought to this city
which had been exposed to rain for the
past few days We're so bleached and
swollen as to resemble the Washington
and Oregon product. Such grain will
have to be dried out and cleaned before
it's value can be determined. Estimates
on the number of bushels thus affected
in Manitoba are 100000 On the game
basis 10000. 900 to $4,000, 900 bushels
would be damaged in Red River Val
ley and North Dakota, and the total
loss will amount to several million dol
lars.
The bad weather has very materially
affected general movement of the
crop. Farmers are unable to come to
market and elevator men cannot han
die the crop eXpeditiously. Many of
the mills in the Northwest are running
dav and night and the stock on hand
has been considerably reduced. All IN
all the Northwestern crop has largely
deteriorated from the early estimates.

One Of the most erratic petitions filed
with the Alameda County Clerk is that
of William ]. Byers. who evidently does
not know great deal about politics. Mr..
Byers is a photographer. and recently he
thought he would like to be Supervisor.
He prepared a petition and circulated 1t
for signatures. In due time he obtained
seventy-nine names, and then he filed his
petition.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Byers, there are
some objections to his going before the
district as a candidate for Supervisor.
His petition should have had ninety five
names, and then again Mr.. ByerS does not
even reside-in fact, has not even Muir
ply residence-in the district which he
would represent. So his name will not be
on the ballot.
