Temperance Lectures.

The temperance people of this COM
munity ought not to sleep upon what
is accomplished. The saloon element
in the state is quietly active; some day,
if we are not careful, we will find they
have laid successful plans for introduce
ing the Mulct saloon into our county.
External vigilance is the price of
liberty" Acting upon this wise old
saw there is an effort upon foot to have
the Hon. John G. Wooley here for three
speeches the latter part OF this month.
Mr.. Wooley is one OF the finest temper
ance orators in the nation. He belongs
to that brilliant class in which are
found Mr.. Murphy and John 3. Cough.
He is an awakener of thought. 1t will
require some money to obtain his ser
vices, and those who are interested in
beating the saloon should be ready to
aid 10 the good work.

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN
Of the Iowa Weather and Crop Service,
for Week Ending Monday,
April "a, 1890.
DIES MONIES, IOWA,
Nav 1, 1899,


The past week was warmer than
usual, the daily excess of temperature
ranging from 6 to IL degrees. Nearly
all parts of the state received coplous
showers, giving an abundance of need
ed moisture.
All conditions have been very favor
able for the growth of vegetation; and
rapid progress was made in farm opera
tions except in portions of the southern
districts where work was retarded by
excessive rains Grass has started nice
ly, and in many sections pasturage is
sufficient for the support of stock.
Spring wheat, oats and barley germi-
mated quickly, and generally show d
good stand.
Insome of the northwestern counties
very high winds caused dust storms on
the 2Sth, and some injury resulted to
recently sown fields of small grain.
Active preparations are in progress
in all sections for planting corn, and
with favorable weather good begin
n ing will be made during the first week
in May. Reports indicate a probable
i1lcrea se in the acreage of corn COM
pa.red with last year, in consequence of
winter killing of wheat and clover and
tn Q unfavorable conditions for early
see ding of small grain. The spring pig
Gro p is likely to be much lighter than
usu,al

OUTLOOK FOR NEW HOMES
In Montana Next Year Is Good-Opening
Of Crow Reservation

In Montana Next Year Is Good-Openine
Of Grow Reservation.
The outlook for new homes in Mon
tana next year is very good indeed. says
the Rocky Mountain H%usbandman.
The canal projects in the Bitter Root,
on Milk River, and the promised OPEN
ing Of a splendid portion Of the Grow
reservation promises homes for three or
four Thousand people at least. The
Grow reservation will il: time, when
water facilities are sufficient. furnish
more than that number of homes; but
we do not look to see anything but the
locations easier watered taken the first
season. The QUITTING Of the big canals
and the watering of the great Yellow
stone bottom remain for capital some
years in the future. Some of the river
bottoms may of course be watered by
individual enterprises. but the bulk Of
the lands on the big bottoms will re.
main unclaimed until watered by capt.
tai or a cooperative effort. Notwith-
standing this homes are ready for sew
eral Thousand in the new region, besides
the opening in northern and western
Montana, which will amount to several
thousand homes. One Of these days
Montana will have an agricultural
boom, but we do not look for it next
year, though we do look for quite an
influx Of new people next year and
considerable progress in the settling OF
new lands. Montana is, in fact, the
mnst inviting field now omen for the
home seeker; and there are many who
will avail themselves Of the opportuni-
ty offered.
