to his plat of ground at the Big Fork.
He has plated several acres in lots of
5Oxl5O and has sold many to people here
who will build summer residences. Ad-
joining this plat of ground is the ground
owned by the state on which will be
located the biological station. This part
of the lake is getting to be one Of the
famous summer resorts of this part of
Montana, and all who visit it during the
summer can have all kinds of sport, fish
ing particularly.
Everyone who reads the Bee will learn
that Merigold carries the most complete

ispell.
The valley was favored with fine rain
Saturday and Sunday and over an inch
of rain fell during that time. 1t came
down so slow and easy that all of it went
into the ground and none was lost. The
grain crop prospect for the entire valley
was never SO bright as at present. Not
only will the farmers of this favored spot
have one of the heaviest yields this year
but from present indications the prices
will be good, indeed. The latest reports
from Dakota and Minnesota are that the
crops in those states are almost an entire
failure, and should such prove to be the
case, undoubtedly the grain crops of this
section will be in great demand at good
prices.

it to Gen. F. V. Greene, who was in
charge of the American troops, with
the request for an explanation. Gen.
Greene referred Aguinardos statement
to the battalion and battery command

Spaniards at the time referred to, and
then he forwarded their replies in refu-

Gen. Greene, himself, says: ''The
statements made by Aguinaldo are alb

The Condition of Grain

Usually at this period of the year
the wheat and barley crops of Cali
fornia are sufficiently advanced and in
such condition that very fair estimate
of the probable yield can be reached,
but the past winter was not a normal
California winter in many respects,
and as consequence there is wide
divergence of opinion as to the coming
cereal crops among dealers, and others
who aim to keep we'll informed on the
subject.
Sixty days ago it was confidently ex-
fully 100000 short tons, This would be
good average crop, and as far as
could be then ascertained, the outlook
seemed to fully substantiate that esti-
mate. 1t was know, of course, at that
time that little could be expected from
the southern portion Of the State, and
even the lower San Joaquin section was
only credited with a reduced yield, but
the central and northern parts of the
State promised a bountiful harvest.
operator or dealer to be found who fig
ured in anything less than 100000
short tons, and that was a minimum
estimate. The last six or seven weeks
has wrought quite a change, however,
and now the prospects are for a much.
smaller yield than earlier estimates.
Advices from the San Joaquin Valley
show that in many localities the wheat
has not headed out as fully as it
should. This same complaint comes
from some of the river islands, on one
of which prominent grower now says
he expects to get barely third of
what he expected two months ago.

RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION
Laborites Discuss The Question AT
New York

New York.-Delegates Of the central
labor bodies who were appointed to
consider the question of the restriction
of immigration have held a con-
ference.
A letter was received from S. Dubois,
who suggested as solution of the
question that all immigrats be landed
in southern ports as New Orleans and
Mobile. instead of in New York, where
there was a congestion of population.
The fare to those ports, he said would
be $40 more than to New York, and
that would deter poor foreigners from
coming. Again, said Dubois, an in
f1ux Of immigrants would arouse the
South to renewed activity.
William H. Allen of District Assem-
bly,. No. 49,. said that Italians who came
here and worked a while and then re-
turned to their homes, took away from
this country $23,OOO,00O annually. This,
combined with what other "birds of
passage" took away, swe1led the
amount to about 100000 annually.
Delegate John S. Henry Of the Cen
trail Federated Unions who was in the
chair. would, he said, make a compen-
dunn of all the plans and suggestions
sent in. together with the conclusions
Of the conference, and submit them to
the central labor bodies.
