wheat crop which promised 50
much in the early part of the year
has been blasted and the proba-
.bilitv is that the crop IN. the
Northwest will not be more than
one-half of what it was in 1899.
This fact has been computed by
the best authorities in Chicago,
which market keeps the closest
tab on the conditions which pre-
vail all over the world. AS a con-
sequence of tie limited crop,
wheat will probably jump up fur
Their in price. 1t is now SO cents.
In 1898 the two Dakotas and
and Minnesota harvested Do, OOO,-
600 bushels of spring wheat and
in 1899 they gathered in and mar
keted 2OO,OOO,000 bushels. This
year the great wheat empire Will
have 75,0O0,OO0 bushels and not
more. The Dakotas will have at
harvest about 10000, 900 each and
Minnesota 25,000,0OO.
The primary cause of the dis
aster is of course the absence of
seasonable rainfall since May !,
but no mere study of the figures
of rainfall during this period will
serve to account for the present
situation. In other seasons al
most equal lack of spring rainfall
has simply served to shorten the
crop, but this year all conditions
have been abnormal, and it is a
com bination of abnormal condi-
tons never before experienced,
and which might not occur again
in a lifetime, that has brought
about the present failure.
In North Dakota and North
west Minnesota the only prospect
for any crop at all is in the limited
districts which have had occasion
al showers, while the balance of
the country is dry. These show
er belts are small, and, while of
great local importance i'll them
selves, are but as pin scratches
on the map. More than half of
the area sown in North Dakota
this year is already beyond the
possibility of cutting, and the
weather conditions prevailing in
the four days since the writer
left the state have been the worst
yet experienced.
Statistician Snow was back to-
day from his long trip through
the Dakotas and Minnesota.
81 have never seen such crop
loss as the spring wheat country
has suffered this year. he said.
81 don't believe this country ever
had such a crop calamity. The
Northwest did not appreciate the
situation until shortly after June
/. The spring wheat was plant
on ground that was lacking in
moisture because of the absence
of SHOWS during the winter. But
Immediately after the wheat went
into the ground it had the benefit
of series of light rains. The re-
suit was the roots spread over
the surface and did not seek the
depth that was necessary. The
rains that followed the planting
gave the wheat a superficial APP
pearanCe of luxuriance. In fact,
though it never had any stability,
the first thing | noted when |
reached the Northwest was that
the plant had no stem root. Such
as there was ran along near the
surface. The condition was lust
the sort to make bought disast-
rouS in short order. The col
lapse was almost immediate.
When the surface moisture was
gone, there was no help for the
plant

Outside the bfeakwater she encountered
large fields of floating ice, but the power

that she was filing through great hole
in her bow. which had been damned full
of ice, preventing a leap until Gislodged

occasion to say that a new charter was
to be put into effect June 8, and it was.
absolutely necessary that his client should
be in a position where he would know
whether he was to retain the office or
not, and for this reason the ballots should
be reCounted at once.
In reply to this j. G. Michael, who ap-
peared for Mr.. BetZ, quoted the law
which allows the contestee ten days IN
which to reply to the points raised by the
contestant Further, Mr.. Michael stated
that although a new charter was to go
into effect the voters of the city had de-
cided that his client was the proper per
son to attend to the duties of the ONCE
and that the official business of the city
could be continued under Mr. Betz as
we'll under the contestant
Judge Otis held that under the law the
contention of Mr.. Michael was correct,
and continued the order until May e.
When the matter comes up on that date
it is probable that f. A. Pike will be
named as referee for Betz and G.. s.

Will probably be F. G. Scniffmann

der that the contest brought by Assem-
blyman Benson to Dust J. j. Parker from
