WHAT IT COST SPIN.

Senior Vil]averde, finance min
lister of Spain, states that the
rebelliens in Cuba and the Philip
pines cost that country 100000
600. OF this sum- $290,00o,G00 is
represented by issues of bonds and
other outstanding obligations.
After deducting the $40, 100000
received from the United States
there is a floating debt of 100000
900, and this debt the finance min
lister proposes to meet by a new
issue of bonds. The United States
declined to pay the interest due on
the Cuban and Philippine bonds.
The Spanish government will IN
dertake to pay this by issuing a
loan of s6O,OO0,000 based on the
security Of the revenue from to-
bacco. A tax will be imposed on
the income from the old bonds,
which are largely held abroad,
with the consent of the holders.
This is tantamount to saying
that Spain is not able to pay the
current rate of interest, which is
5 per cent. but will try to pay on
everything, if bondholders will
consent to reduction of the inter.
est rate.
In view of her diminishing re.
sources, it will be with the great.
est difficulty that Spain will be
able to pay at all, but, if her cred,
itors will be conslderate, she will
try to meet her obligations.

TTHEAT STOCKS.

Bradstreet's report of June
10th, contains very complete re-
view Of the wheat situation up to
June LIST. The marketing season
here, however, being practically
over till new harvest is gathered,
the information given is not of
particular interest to our readers
except in relation to prospective
prices next fall and winter. In
that view, the conditions are
not as favorable as they might be.
The worlds wheat crop of last
year is believed to have been the
largest on record, with the result
that The preceding shortage has
been pretty well caught up, al
though there is no discouraging
surplus to the extent that there
was few years ago. On June
LIST last, American wheat stocks
we're 100000 bushels greater
than on June LIST, 1897. But if we
go farther back, the figures show
that current stocks are relatively
light, being, for instance, approx
mately 25,000,O00 shorter than at
this date in 1895 and 1896, and
48,O00,0C0 less than on June lst
1898.
In considering the statistics, it is
clear that there is nothing in the
present position to justify any san
guine expectation Of big prices for
the wheat crop of 1899; but on the
other hand there is nothing to in
dictate return of the depression
that operated SO Severely during
the several years preceding '97.
The great operations of specula-
tors may make things better for
producers than the conditions now
seem to warrant, but prudent peo-
pie will do we'll to reckon on q
shorter wheat price next fall than
has ruled during the past few
seasons.

DESTROY THE WEEDS.

Considerable legislation has
been gone through with not only
in the last Legislative session, but
in all previous meets regarding the
destruction of weeds. 1t has form
ed the food not only of the law
makers alone, but Of the farmers
who are directly concerned in the
matter of the destruction of weeds
in opposition to the full growth of
their crops. The matter has con-
sumed both time and money and
it should have but one result
that Of enforcing the law to the
letter. At this time of the year
there is mustard and French
weed to contend with and the con-
tention should exist until every
particle of the weeds is eradicated
from the growing fields. In the
last legislature a law compelling
the destruction of all weeds was
passed, and it should be seen to
that all the time and money utiliz-
ed in the passing of such provi-
sion was not used for nought
Bordering the city there are nu.
merous farms and in some of them

TW.ENTY MILLION .ACRES.

Recent statistics issued by the
state show in spite Of the immense
amount of land filed on by the new
settlers Of North Dakota during
the past year there yet re-
mains an almost unlimited supply
in the extreme western half Of the
state. OF course this does not
refer to Cavalier county, as it is
we'll known that there are only q
few quarter sections, if any, OF
good vacant government land left
open for settlement. North Dako-
ia has twenty and a half million
acres of public lands, and in addi-
ton about three million acres of
reservation for Indians. Much of
the western part of the state be-
longs to the public domain, but in
the eastern half the amount OF
public land diminishes rapidly,
and from the Red River Valley
west to tho Turtle Mountains, there
is hardly any left. Government
reports say that in the extreme
western part of the state where
irrigation is most needed there are
only limited areas where water car
be easily secured. The Missouri
river is 80 far below the surface OIL
the arabic land and has 80 slight E
fall that it's waters can be diverted
only with difficulty and at great
expense. It is recommended tina
storage reservoirs be built along
some of the Missouri tributaries
flowing from the north, and this
may be done at some future day
East of the Missouri the main de
pendence ls upon arteslan wells
which in North Dakota promise to
bs of immense benefit to agricul
tine. 1t is said that in time mucl
Of the public land along the Mis-
souri, south of Bismark will bt
