YIELD HARD TO, ESTIMATE.

| Pioneer Press: The local grain and
elevator people are still speculating on
the probable wheat yield of the three

commercial writer ventured the pre-
dlet1on that Minnesota, North and
South Dakota would produce at least
l35 100000 bushels of wheat this year.
A majority of the we'll informed grain
dealers and elevator men of Minneap-
Oils, although possessing much detailed
information in regard to the crop con-
dition, are disinclined to make figures.
Two and half weeks ago John IN
gals, a well known crop expert Of Chi
cago, after covering a very considerable
part of the three states, made the
states, made the statement on local
change that not more than $4,000, 900
bushels. of wheat would be produced.

existed, Of course. The grain men,
while appreciating that a very unfor-.
tunate condition existed, were not
ready to accept Mr.. Ingalls, guess.
They all agree that the rains helped
things wonderfully They are pretty
unanimously Of the opinion that there.
will be just about so per cent as much
wheat as was raised in 1899. The yield
then was bumper one, about a03 ,o00.-
GOO bushels. Col. Rodgers, secretary
OF the chamber of commerce, before
the recent rains, put the probable yield

these figures now, although expressing

SUFFERING AT NOME.
STORY. TOLD In "A LETTER TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
Washington, July 16. The secretary
OF the treasury has received a, letter
from Mr.. G. Rudolph, living at S26
Broadway, Brooklyn, N. Y, on the sit
uation at Cape Nome, Alaska. The
department sees no reason to doubt
the trustworthine of the story told
by Mr.. Rudolph. and suggests its pub
Ncation. 1t is becoming daily more
apparent to the officials that the condi-
tions in the new gold fields are almost
certain to result in great suffering dur
ing the coming winter, especially as
epidemics of smallpox and typhoid
fever are threatened. The letter fol-
lows, in part:
There are far more destitute people
at Nome than people on the outside
know of. / know that the San Bias
had steerage hunks numbered up to
800 and over 100 were in the cabin,
while there We're also about twenty
| lstowaways. On the Aberdeen they
told me that they had about twenty
| stowaways, and no doubt every boat
had a great many stowaways. I spoke
to dozens Of men, and they told me that
they had no food, but expected to go
to work when they reached Nome. A
meal costs from 81 to 81 so; coffee and
pie, or three crullers, 25 cents a bed
from 81 to- $3, or when you furnish
your own blankets, from 81 to 81 so.
Canned goods are so cents al can;
bread, 25 cents a loaf; fresh meats,
from IS cents to 81 a pound, and other
things in proportion. There was only
one toilet for the pubac, and there you
had to pay. For water the cost was
20 cents for four buckets. and wood
was nearly all gone, except at a point
several miles down the beach, Even
the little to be found there was half
rotten and Water-soaked. Coal oil is
s. case, and lumber $3.50 for dry and
Sl25 for green, per Thousand, and is
scarce at that. The water wells saw
were from - to 10 feet deep, and are
sure to be contaminated by all of these
people being huddled together. When
I left, there were tents twenty deep and
about three miles long. Now you
don't want to forget that it took more
than fifty vessels to bring all of these
people to Nome, to say nothing of over
!, 600 coming from the Yukon country.
There are no inducements for the
steamship companies to send their yes
sells back again for busted mob. You
may think that ann cold-foot miner,
but ask any miner who was in that
country whether he saw any gold dust
IN 8 schircu u ulation. That is the way to tell
a good camp. In eight days / saw
only only one man pay for a purchase with
dust. When asked about it, he said
that it was from the Klondyke.''
