Aberdeen. s. D., July 5.-The general
condition OF the growing crops In the
northern tier Of counties could not be
improved upon. with the exception OF
corn, much Of which was so severely in
jured by frost that the ground was plowed
up and seeded later to millet and other
fodder. The outlook on the whole is the
best at this time for ten years. The out
look for a large yield hereabouts is ex-
cellent. The county about this point on
every side presents uniformly good ap-
pearance.
Brookings, s. D., July 5.-Reports from
all portions Of Brookings county are fa-
vorable to crops In general. In some
localities the late rains have caused
wheat, oats and barley to lodge to some
extent but the general result has been
favorable and the corn is considerably In
advance of what it has been at the same
ate in previous years. There is an in
creased acreage Of corn and correspond
ing decrease of wheat. The fax shows
good growth. but the acreage is dimin-
ished Aside from the late frost, which
retarded the corn to some extent, the sea-
son has thus far been all that could be
wished for.

laps Going to the Coast,

An officer OF the Zealandia states that
there is a big exodus of Japanese la
horers from Hawaii of late for the Main
land and that they have been engaged to
work on Senator Clark's new Salt Lake
& Los Angeles Railroad. which Is about
to be constructed from the Mormon cap
ital to the Coast.
AS there are no restrictions against
Japanese going from the Islands to the
United States or rather to the Mainland
they are free to accept work there. AS
railroad laborers the Japanese have
proved good, faithful workers in Idaho
and the Northwest, where they were at
one time brought in by the thousands.
The probabilities are that the greater
part of the Japanese who are leaving
are those who have left the plantations
and come into the City and become loaf
ers. The Japanese who remained with
the plantations after the expiration of
their contracts, are not leaving in great
numbers now. That being the case the
City will be rid of an undesirable class
of hangers-on which the police will hail
with JOY.

GREAT RAILWAYS

says: Representatives of the Pennsylva-

authority, will soon be elected to men,
bership in the board of directors of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company. No Atchison securities appear
in the long list of stocks and bonds own
ed by the Pennsylvania, out 1t is under
stood that heavy purchases of Atchison
stocks, principally the preferred, have
been made of late by interests identified
with the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany.
The latter road has long had close traf-
fic relations with the Burlington, the
two companies jointly owning and oper-
ating the Toledo, Peoria and Western
Railway, which connects the systems;
but in view of the increasing probability
of the acquisition of the Burlington by
the Northern Pacific Great Northern in
terests, the Pennsylvania, 1t Is said, some
time ago began to make preparations for
alliance with another Western line,
choosing the Atchison. The latter road
touches Kansas City, but does not ex-
tend up to st. Louis, which is the West
ern terminus OF the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN, the two roads meeting only in Chi
cago. 1t is said that there will be no
connection built between the two roads
by extension of the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN westward of st. Louis, and 1t Is not
believed that any intention exists of OBJ
tanning control of the Atchison by pur-
chase of a majority of the latter's stock
by the Pennsylvania, but 1t is said to be
possible that traffic arrangement might
without great difficulty be arranged by
which traffic could be moved from ocean
to ocean over the Pennsylvania and the
Atchison with, say, one of the lines of
