State Auditor Dunn yesterday sent out
a circular letter to the probate judges of
all counties in Minnesota, calling atten-
ton to the provisions of the Inheritance

both real and personal property. All eS-
tates amounting to $1,000 and less are
wholly exempted from the the provisions

QUAIL HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Narrow Escape From Collision With
Royal Yacht Ophir.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-A special to the
Times from Montreal says: An officer of
the royal yacht Ophir is authority for
the statement that the torpedo boat
destroyer Quail was within an ace OF
being sunk by the Ophir in the Gulf of
st. Lawrence. The occurrence was wit
messed by the Duke and Duchess of
Cornwall, who were on deck at the time.
The Quail was ordered alongside the
Ophir to take off dispatches from the
duke which were to be cabed or mailed
to the king of England.
The Ophir was going at sixteen knots
an hour and the Quail came up at TWEEN
ty knots, the plan being to take off the
bag containing the dispatches hung from
a boom over the Ophir's side, while both
were going at full speed. The man failed
to get off the bag and the Quail was
drawn toward the Ophir, while the water
splashed high between them.
Those on board the Ophir thought it
was all up with the little Quail, so close
was she to the Ophir that she fouled a
rope and her stern was drawn under the
bows of the OphiF. The commander
ordered full speed. ahead the rope cleared
itself the destroyer got away and at a
thirty five-knot clipsithe Quail proceeded
to Quebec.

CROPS ON PACIFIC COAST.
conditions as Reported by Depart
ment of AgricuIture

con0i4IonS as reported by Depart
ment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2s,-The depart
ment of agriculture has issued a. report
on the general agricultural conditions in
the Pacific coast region. 1t says that
although the tendency for the past TWEEN
ty-tive years has been towards a gradual
reduction in the area of individual farms
and ranches they are still of size much
larger than the average farm of the East
or of the Middle West. It is particularly
true in California. Another distinctive
feature, especially in the great valley
areas of California is the uses of ma
emery of great .ccapacity which means
an economy of human labor, but often
also means waste of grain. Every eff
fort is made to combine several opera
tons into one. Transportation of the
enormous quantity of Pacific coast whe at
has been reduced to a science A large
saving is made by loading ships directly
from the cars, trains being run from the
wheat fields to tide water at a very few
hours notice In Washington and Ore
gon, however, Sthe+ wheat is run through
an elevator where cit is re-cleaned and
mixed with other grades of wheat to
bring it to the required standard grade
after which it is re-sacked and loaded
on the vessels or cars for final SHIPMENT
About 100000 bushels of wheat are ex-
ported annually from the Pacific coast
with total value of about $40, 1903, vU0
Of the 100000 barrels of flour annually
shipped from the Pacific coast ports dur
ing the past ten years, nearly one-half
is cleared at San Francisco. The report
says it has taken about 100000 bushels
of wheat to supply the foreign markets
with Pacific coast wheat and flour. OF
this amount California ports furnished
more than 100000 bushels
