FAIR CROPS ALL OVER STATE
Indications Are That the Yield Will
be Much Better Than Was
Expected.

Helena, Aug. 17.-Farmers along the
line of the Northern Pacific have COM
pleted the harvest of grain.
Varying reports are made as to the

feared to be playing havoc with the
growing grain.
. The grass on the ranges is drying up
under the continued hot and dry
weather. The Missouri river and con-
tributing streams are said to be lower
than in years.

ling when the sheep shipments east are

mon disease among sheep that is con-
tagious is scab and the government re-
quires rigid inspection.

fore they are allowed to leave the state

Permits are delivered to persons about

Is the downfallen timber Of n dead

that have survived disaster and the
entire scene Is such as should mark
the home Of the great king Of the
western forest. A band of gaunt
timber wolves have dragged down a
small black tail doe and killed her
and were evidently preparing for n
feast when the appearance Of the
grizzly king put asudden end totheir
enjoyment. They have all fled from
the body Of the doe and the painting
shows them standing about, sneak
ing and vindictiye, as the grizzly pre-
pares to breakfast off the quarry

ing shows the great grizzly, with

powerful frame, standing with the

fallen doe, from whose neck the life

A Minnesota Yarn,

Harry Clay Blaney, theyoungc com
edian OF the Across the Pacific"
company, tells Il good story OF how
he was once beaten by a lot Of old
hayseeds In u little town In a remote
part of Minnesota. He was doing
advance work at the time, and on a
bitter cold day wasseatcd by stove
in the hotel Office. The usual lot Of
old country l0ungers were present,
and the conversation was turned up
on the subject Of II fly's liking for
sweets.
81 listened, said Mr...Blaney, with
a great deal OF amusement to the
various arguments advanced, until
finally an old bewhlskered farmer
suggested that we adjourn to the bar
and try n plan Of his To settle all dis
putes. We did SO, and the %barkeeper
placed before each Of us n small pile
Of sugar, the man before whom II fly
would first allght being obliged to
pay for the drinks iorthecrowd. The
result was tat n fly first nllghtcd on
my sugar and | must pay for the
drinks.
II had become interested aud sug-
gcsted that we try it ugain. The re-
suit was the same, and 50 continued
until | had filled those old fellows up
