weather and the rains have enabled
Nebraskans to take calm survey OF
the situation and the result is the opin-
ion that the state is not nearly SO hard
hit as had been thought. It comes out
of the ordeal on the whole in as good
shape if not better than any other state
in the Union. With a bumper crop of

Others expect not more than ten bush

IRRIGATION GROWS in FAVOR.

The drouth of this year has called at
tention more strongly than ever to the
subject of irrigation, not that much of
the territory damaged this year could
hope to be benefited thereby, but in 9th
er directions profit might come. The
Washington correspondent Of the st
Louis Globe Democrat presents the fol-
lowing on this subject:
1t is believed here that the irrigation
forces will come to Washington next
their favor far beyond their most san
guine expectations of three or four
months ago. A conservative estimate of
the damage done in the middle west by
1t is realized that had large proportion
of the arid west been under cultivation
thru irrigation that much of the evil
consequence of the present heated term
would be averted in the country lying
adjacent to the arid and seNi-aNd belt
The estimate of $500, 100000 damage is
ore of direct loss from shortage in
crops. Those who are most hopeful ex-
poet that half of the usual amount of
corn will result from this years crop.
Many can be found, however, who be-
lieve this to be most optimistic view
of the situation. The damage to the corn
crop, however, and the direct damage to
other crops is but one item in the terri
bic bill of costs which will be presented
TO the farmers of the west when the
balance is struck for the present season.
The most serious phase outside of the
crop situation is the predicament in
which the stock feeder finds himself.
With corn at almost prohibitive prices,
and the price of hay soaring up into the
clouds, officials of the agricultural de-
rartment say the man who has paid go
ing prices for cattle with the idea of
making profit in feeding them for the
market sees ruin ahead, or at the very
least heavy loss. The result Of this is
already shown in phenomenal receipts in
the great live stock markets of the west
Reports to the department. show that
every one is trying to get rid of his cat
| tie, hogs and sheep to the best possible
advantage, knowing that there can be
no profit in feeding them at the inevita-
bly, high prices which will prevail fol
grain and products.

A Corn Statement Questioned.

New Sharon. Iowa, Aug. 5.--Editor
Times Republican-Dear Sir: An arti-
Gle from Greene county. Iowa. sets forth
that half crop of corn raised in the
country this season will be equivalent
to a full crop to the farmer. Are the
general run of people to be fed on this
Kind of taffy? Suppose that but half a
crop was the maximum, what surplus
would there be for the producer to real
ize from after his own needs We're sup
Piled? There would be none. We have
farmed little in our time and know
from whence we talk.
The writer on this subject is either ig-
rorant of the producers needs for home
consumption or else he is wilfully try
ing to mislead the producer. Nothing is
more absurd. II SO, Why the idea OF
Early rising and late working to pro-
duce little more In order to have a
surplus? No, half a crop would leave
no room for the producer to sell his corn,
and where would he profit? Will the
writer2please explain how the producer
would be benefited when he had no corn
to put ON the market? Respectfully,

The OPENING AT OKLAHOMA.

The second step in opening the new
lands in Oklahoma was taken yesterday
(the 6th) under the proclamation issued
by the president, which made the fol.
lowing provisions:
"At each land Office, commencing
Tuesday. Aug. 6, 1901, at 8 o'clock a. M,
the applications of those drawing Nos.
to 125 inclusive, for that district must.
be present and will be considered in
their numerical order during the second
day, and 90 on at that rate until all of
said lands subject to entry under the
homestead law, and desired hereunder,
have been entered If any applicant fails
to appear and present his application
for entry when the number as suggested
for him by the drawing is reached, his
right to enter will be passed until after
the other applications assigned for that
day have been disposed of, when he will
be given another opportunity to make
entry, failing in which he will be deem
ed to have abandoned his right to make
entry under such drawing. To obtain al
lowance of a homestead entry each ap-
plicant must personally present the GER
tificate of registration heretofore issued
stead application and the necessary ac-
cornpanying proofs and with the regu-
lar land Office fees, but an honorably
discharged soldier or sailor may file his
declaratory statement thru the agent
representing him at the registration.
The production of the certificate of reg
istration will be dispensed with only up
on satisfactory proof of its loss or de-
struction. If at the time of considering
his regular application for entry it APP

from making homestead entry Of these

1T is difficult to consider all the uues-

autocratic power. If it can be shown
that the steel trust aims at this, it will

mony is on the other side, it will come in
Tor censure. In a fair article under the
above caption the Chicago Tribune
says:
President shaffer, of the Amalga-
mated Association, says that the ques-
ton to be settled is whether unionism
is to stand or fall" To the extent that
tfat is the issue in the present contest
it is one of his own making.
1t is alleged by him and by other
members of the organization at the head
OF which he is that the men who control
the great steel companies have long
been determined to undermine and final
~ destroy the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, and that the demands made by that
association We're made in the nature Of
self-defense Those who make these
statements presumably believe them to
be true, but they have presented no evil
dence to show that they are true. They
have called attention to the fact that In
dull times union mills are closed, while
non-union mills are kept running. This

ton. 1t SO happens that the nom union
mills were the better equipped ones and
goods could be made more cheaply in

While it can not be shown that it has
been the intention of the men at the
head of the United States Steel Corpora
ton to break down the Amalgamated
Association so that there may be none
but ncn-union or independent" labor in
the mills, it can not be denied that it is
the end and aim of the Amalgamated
Association to bring all the skilled iron
and steel workers into It's ranks and
thus secure an entire control of the labor
market. Then IL the association We're to
