Big Contract for American Company.
 After being carefully guarded for over two months it has leaked. out that the tramway committee of the Glas- eow (Scotland) corporation has award ed the contract for the supply aDd lay Ing of the conduit for conveying the cable for Glasgow municipal tramways to the National Conduit and Cable company of America. The work of laying the pipe under American super vision has already begun, and some 800 navies are being employed. This con duit contract is reported to be by far the most important one ever placed outside of England. Already 2,000,0o0 feet of piping have been ordered, and 1t is said that the chances are that the entire requirements in this line will be hned by the Americans, and that the cable lon tile superior manufacture of which English manufacturers have long prided themselves-will also be ordered from the United States. The curious part of the conduit contract is that a lump sum has been agreed upoE with the National company that will  include the supply of pipes, the ex- cavation of the earth as well as the laying of tue pipe.

- - Whale a Disturbep.

Last year the sardine fishery on the Biscayan coasts was good deal spoilt by the presence of a large whale, which seemed to have got itself "cor- nered" in the wedge of the bay or which the Bidassoa's estuary makes the apex. All the sea here, for some. thing like 200 miles out, is shallow, so one can imagine the commotion that rather badly fustered wha1s would make on finding himself threat ened by stranding among the sardine population. Naturally enough she fishery did not prosper with snch 8 large disturbing influence about. But It is not little singular that this year again, so far as the season has gone, little has been doing, and surely this cannot he occasioned by fear Of last years whale. But whatever the reason, the fact is too true that the sound of the lookout mans horn has been seldom heard (they post a man on v9tch for sardines in the Day whose duty it is to sound his horn on their appearance, to summon the fish ermen to the boatsl, even though the ceremony of the 'Interlo. sse los sar- dinos" has taken place. with all it's cbllaish pageantry, in all the BiseayaD villages that the sardine fishery con eerns.

Minneapolis, July 6.-R. H. Hankin-
son, Hankinson, N. D., one of the pio-.
neers of the northwest, is at the Hotel
Nicollet. He came direct from his
farm near Hankinson, and spoke at
length on the crop outlook in the east
ern Dakotas.
We are told by the grain men that
We have the best crops in the Dakotas
in our county" said Mr.. Hankinson.
I'VE are counting on a wheat yield of
eight bushels per acre, and this cron
is the nearest we have ever come to
having a failure. Our farmers can
stand bad year, and could, for that
matter, stand several bad years. Two
thirds of the farmers in Richland
county are out OF debt and have money
out at interest. We are diyersifying
our farming more year by year.
In few years the farmers of the
e pakotas will be lin the stock business
much heavier than they are now, al
though many keep a large number of
cattle now. We are doing well selling
milk .l TO creamaries, and We look more
to other kinds Of farming in the future
thai than to wheat farming Z
