FLOODS SUBSlDlNG.
Loss in the Milk River Valley Not So
Great as Feared.


Great Falls, May 1.-The floods are
subsiding in the Milk river valley and
now have reached a point where an in
ventory of damages may be taken. It
is believed that the loss will not be as
great as feared, and while it will still
be large enough to suit the ranchers, it
will not interfere with operations this
summer save in a limited degree.
The Belknap Canal company has the
largest plant in that section and is
probably the greatest sufferer from the
freshets. It's investment represents
about $4,000 and it has in operation IS
miles of water bitches. irrigating Is, 900
acres of agricultural land, more or less
being under cultivation. 1t finds that
the dam is but slightly injured, though
the headgate will require repairs and
the bitches are badly filled with sand
which drifted in with the water. The
whole damage and cost of repairs is
estimated at $4,000. AS the company
has 100 members the assessment will
amount to $50 per head and the burden
will therefore be small

Statistics for 1893 Present q Remarkable
Showing.

The farmers of this country made
more money in 1898 than ever before
in its history. The Forthcoming statis-
tical report from the Department Of
Agriculture will show unprecedented
crops, unprecedented prices and I'M
precedented prosperity. The corn crop
in 1896 amounted to 2,2S3. .S75, 165 bush
els, valued at $449. 9.276,03O; in 1897 it
was 1902, ,967,933 bushels, valued at
$5O1 ,O72952. In 1888, according to
present estimates, the volume was not
only largely increased. but the farm
value of corn throughout the country
averages "a cents a. bushel more than
in 1897
The wheat crop in 1896, at ~ cents
a bushel. was valued at S421 ,6S4 ,346;
in 1897. at sos per bushel, it was val
ued at SI2S,541. .121. The increase in
1893 was 1.411,69 acres, the largest in
history, and the crop was unprecedent-
ed in quality. quantity and price.
The barley crop in 1897 was worth
$25, 142, 139 at 81 cents bushel. The
figures for 1898 are not in yet but the
price of Ala cents a bushel and the
preliminary report shows a crop slight
ly above the average. The same may
be said of rye. which is quoted at 463
cents bushel, against AL in 1897.
The farm price for oats in 1898, ac-
cording to the official figures of the
Agricultural Department, is 25.6 cents
Il bushel, against 21.2 for 1897, and 1915
in 1896. The totals are not in yet, but
in 1897 the crop was valued at $14T,-
974,719.
Potatoes are now worth Ala cents a
bushel on the farm, which is n large
falling off from 1897, when they sold
for 54.7 cents, but it is said that the diff
ference will be more than made up by
the increase in the volume of the crop,
which is believed to be twenty one per
cent greater than in 1897, when the to-
tai was valued at SS9,643,059.
The hay crop of the United States in
1897 was valued at S401, ,390,72S, with
hay selling at $6.62 ton. In 1898 the
crop was the best on record, and it is
selling at an average of So ton
throughout the country.
During the calendar year ended De
cember 31st the value Of the breadstuffS
sold abroad was S317 100000. provis-
ions $174,000,00O, and cotton. S233, ,00O,-

A Paris dispatch says: The exceed
ingly mild weather prevailing here
thus far this winter may be bad for
the city's health, but it certainly is
good for the coming expedition. Even
before the strike of the masons last
summer the architects admitted that
they were behind in their work on the
great stone buildings that will be the
center of the worlds fair of 1900 but
this open season has enabled them to
make up for lost time. Now nearly
all the heavy labor is done on the per-
manent structures supplanting the old
Palais de FIndustrie. Between the
Champs Elysees and the Seine some
parts of the roof are almost completed,
and already one can get fair idea of
the strikingly beautiful effect to be
presented by this portion of the expo
sition grounds. The greatest activity
now reigns everywhere throughout the
grounds, and there no longer remains
any doubt that the site will be ready

baltimore g. Ohio.

From time to time articles appear
in various papers about the so-called
"Hill control of Baltimore & Ohio,
together with exhaustive details of
various struggles which are supposed
to be in progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore &
Ohio board The details of these strug-
giles are very interesting, but are open
to the criticism that they have no eX-
fstence in fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore & Ohio, nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction;
second, that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr..
Hill and the Baltimore &, Ohio people
with regard to a selection of general
manager, the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody;
aud third, that the delay in regard to
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore e
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
1t Is pretty well understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore &c Ohio, on the
theory that he could be of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser, and
to this end he, with some of his
friends, purchased a substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock of the
company. This interest is nowhere
near controlling interest, but is still
very large. 1t may be said without
fear Of contradiction, that there is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore G. Ohio
