CROPS ARE DOING WELL
THE REPORTS COMING IN ARE o. X.
Total Acreage Larger Than That OF
Last Year-Much Flax
Going In.

Grain men to-day announce the crop
situation in the northwest as being gen.
trally favorable. Walter Thexton, mana
ger for the John Miller Grain company
is in receipt of advices from 200 points,
covering nearly every section of the
northwest, a summary OF which is given
below:
Throughout Minnesota all crops are looking
well. There is plenty Of moisture; no reports
of damage but many complaints of weeds
The total acreage is larger than last year, the
increase being mostly in fax, barley and feed
The same conditions rule in northern Iowa,
in South Dakota and in the southern part Of
North Dakota.
Rain will be needed soon in the country
north of Fargo and Bismarck in North Da-
kota, but dry weather has as yet done no
damage. There was some damage by early
wind storms on light land and wheat is
thin in places, evidently on account of poor
seed. There is a large increase in wheat
acreage in the western portion Of this state.
The eastern section shows decrease in
wheat acreage but an increase in fax, barley
and feed, which makes the total acreage
larger. All grain above ground looks we'll.
Seed now being sown is going in under favor
able conditions. There has been an increase
in corn acreage in the southern part of the
state.
Minneapolis grain men generally are
confident that this is to be a good crop
year. The weather has been favorable to
date and North Dakota is doing excep-
tionally we'll.
Larger Flax Acreage.
Late reports from the northwest bear
out the predictions heretofore made, that
this year will see considerable increase
in the fax acreage of Minnesota and the
Dakotas 1t is early yet for anything very
definite, but travellers now going through
the territory are sending in favorable re-
ports as to fax seeding.
Alex Stewart of the Monarch Elevator
company looks for considerable increase
in the northwestern part of the state and
in North Dakota. 1t is probable that there
will be a slight decrease along the line Of
the Hastings & Dakota division Of the
Milwaukee road, owing to increased wheat
planting, but any minor decreases will be
offset by the increase in the new ground
broken in the northern counties. The
Van Dusen- Harrington company estimates
that from 10 to 20 per cent more fax will
go in this year than last 1t is the general
opinion that the acreage will run from 15
to 20 per cent over last year.

Fred Briggs Arraigned on Second
Indictments.
NOW HAS NINETEEN ALTOGETHER
hail Is Fixed at S1,sOO-Briggs
Gave Himself Up Vol
UNFAIRLY.

Nineteen indictments thus far, with the
returns not all in, It is said, is the rather
hard prospect which confronts Fred A.
Briggs, in the district court.
The warrant for his second arrest was
placed in the hands of the sheriff Satur-
day, but visit to Briggs farm by Deputy
Sheriff Anderson showed that he was not
there, and no trace was found Of his
whereabouts until yesterday, when he tele-
phoned the sheriff that he would be on
hand this morning.
True to his word, he was promptly on
time, and shortly after court had opened
he was arraigned on nine additional in
dictments charging him with operating
nickel -in- the-slot gambling machines.
Judge Steele appeared for the accused, and
plea of not guilty was entered in each
case, the trial on the first bill being set
for tomorrow morning.
Bail was fixed at 5000 in each case, and
the court and counsel agreed on an omni-
bus bond in the sum of $1,000, which
Briggs started out to get, being escorted
by deputy sheriff. He Is already under
81, 900 bonds.
In referring to the new indictments,
Briggs said that some of the witnesses
whose names were attached, notably Bau-
mann and Hawkins, owned their own
machines, and that he had nothing to do
with them.
Grand Jury Again Tomorrow.
The grand jury will reassemble to-mor-
row morning when the investigation of the
charges of insolence, brutality and general
mismanagement against DR.. e. j. Clarke,
house physician of the city hospital, and
Others will be resumed.

Farmer" Stewart, the Oldest travelling man
in the northwest, is in the city. Mr.. Stew
art has forty-four years continuous service
Pto his credit as a wholesale grocery sales
man. He began travelling in Minnesota in
1857 OF the many customers he had in the
northwest in those early days but one is now
living, Milo White Of Chatfeld. During
his first days on the road. in this state Mr..
Stewart made his trips with team and light
wagon. He had Indians to dodge as well as
goods to sell. The rivalry between Mime
apolis and st. Paul was keener commercially
then than now. If you sold goods in st.
Paul they made you stay all night at one
of their hotels and Minneapolis demanded
the same kind of reciprocity. st. Paul
charged drummers from the outside license
fee of $40 per day at one time in order to
keep the trade at home. Chicago men paid
the $40 and kept at work. Things have
changed, but Mr.. Stewart is still travelling.
w. H. Tomlinson of LIE Sueuer, president of
the Minnesota Retail Hardware Dealers as
sociation, has been in the city for the past
few days attending a meeting OF. hardware

tee, was here from St. Cloud to attend the
session.
John Zolers is here from Aberdeen. Talk
about moisture" said Mr.. zollers, 1.-The
reputation of South Dakota as a state lack
ing in that article is busted. South Da-
kota may have been dry for a season or two
years ago, but she has enough moisture to
raise two crops this season" Mr. Zollers
expects to see the country around Aberdeen
break all crop records this season.
Governor G. n. Herreid of South Dakota is
here The governors home is at Eureka in
the northwestern part of the state. He says
that South Dakota never was so prosperous.
Present indications point to big yield of
grain in that section of the state east of
the Missouri. In counties close. to the river
the stockmen are rapidly increasing in
wealth. The governor will spend several
days in Minneapolis and st. Paul looking
after private business matters.
