Pushing Work of Construc-
ton.

Northwestern's Double Track TO
Chicago is Nearly Completed.
Although the North Western rail-
road will not open its doubletrack
line between Omaha and Chicago
until next year, completion is be-
ing pushed forward with all pcss-
ible speed. At this time the DOUBLE
track line between Omaha and
Missouri Valley and from Boone
to Chicago. The gap now to be
filled is between Missouri Valley
Boone. On this gap as many men
and teams are engaged as can be
conveniently handled. More than
300 men are at work on the bridge
over the Des Moines river at
Boone. This is to be the longest
bridge in the world. It's total
length, aside from the approaches
will be a little over three miles.
At Its highest point it will be 1856
feet above the water. It is of iron
and steel, not q stick of timber be-
ing used in it's construction.

Who Will Haul Down the
Flag?

"Not one inch of American soil
shall over be alienated!" shouted
the vociferous Mr. Mckinley.
"Who will haul down tie fag?"
he queried in dramatic accents.
"There will be no going back
wards; no scuttle policy" he as
sured us in his very best Canton
esque tone Of voice.
But how about the settlement
of the Alaskan Canadian boundry
question? After months of stat
uesque posing the state depart
ment has finally settled the Alas
kan Canadian boundry question
to the complete satisfaction Of
John Bull. BY the terms of this
settlement the United States gives
to Great Britain large part of
the Porcupine mining district, q
strip Of territory twenty miles
wide and 300 miles long. Over
this strip of territory the Ameri-
can flag has waved in undisputed
authority FOR thirty-three years.
Since 1867 the United States has
been in undisputed possession of
this valuable territory, and before
that it was held in undisputed
possession by Russia for upwards
Of forty years. At no time has
Great Britain ever had a shadow
of a claim to it, and during the
years it has been in the undis-
puted possession of the United
States it has been settled up by
American miners and American
merchants.
"Not one inch of American soil
will be alienated!" shrieked Will
liam Mckinley when the modus
vivendi was established pending a
final settlement of the boundry
dispute.
How many inches of American
soil were contained in that strip of
American territory twenty miles
wide and 300 miles long?
1t there is anything else under
the American flag that John Bull
wants be should ask for it before
March 4, 1901. He will be unable
to get it by the mere asking after
that date. The day of that sort
of thing will end when the pres
ent trucking administration is

Constitutional Expansion.

These strong sentences and timely
words are from the pen Ct Bourke
Cochran:
"The pretext that imperialism is jus
titled by the example OF Jefferson is q
manifestation. of impenetrable lgnor-
ance or of cynical audacity.
Expansion, as Jefferson inaugur-
ated it and as the Democrats believe
in it, is the expansion of our constltu-
tion through the expansion of our ter
ritory. The extension of our govern
ment-our constitutional government
all over this continent would be of
measureless benefit to all the people OF
it and to the whole human race"

Crop Bulletin

For week ending Aug. 81, 1900.
The past week was warmer than
usual, with some excess of rainfall
in numerous localities. On the
nightof the 23d some local damage
resulted from windstorms of con-
siderable severity. But little pro-
gress has been made in threshing
in the northern and central
sections, where considerable small
grain yet remains in shock, in
damaged condition. In tho south
ern section grain lis generally
threshed or i'm stack. The corn crop
is rapidly nenring maturity, and
in all SECTIONS carly planted fields
are about ready for the harvester:
in few localities cutting was in
progress mt the close of the week.
All reports indicate that despite
local damage by wind and hail, it
will exceed all records for the past
ten or fifteen years. The soil is
generally in excellant cond ition
for blowing, and unusual progress
has been made in that line. An
abundance Of fall pasturage is now
assured, which will be very helpful
in view of shortage of the hay crop
A dry September will improve the
quality of all unharvosted crops.
Fall apples are fairly abundant in
the northern and southern sections
but the apple crop for the state at
at large is unusually light,
especially the late fall and winter
varieties.
