MR. !. (. CAsEoiL, of Omaha. re- gardiug the short corn crop says: The farmer Is no, going Ia suffer because ,herc will be too.ooo.oro bushels less corn this year than were harvested last year. Iu fact. he Is goingso profit by i,. and tho Nebraska and Iowa farmer is fully aware of this The farmers arc going Co profit by the short crop. because the price of corn IS much higher than II was las; year. The current price of corn is twenty cents a bushel hir her than a, this time last year. and with that rate for all has corn this year. the farmer not only will not lose anything by having less corn. but will actually get S2so. .rn,oo more for inc estimated crop of this year than he would have received for the estimated full crop a, las; years prices. The people who arc going io pay the piper arc the consumers One result that is assured is an increase in the price of pork and of livestock m general. This also will rebound ioihe prof; of the farmer; so it would em reasonable that our agricuiiurIsis nigh; fairly regard the great drough; as financial blessing in disguise.

THE shock caused by the discovery of the dishonesty of public official in Washington the other day, is of itself high testimony of the general honesty of those connected with the public service. There was general surprise when an investigation, conducted by the commissioner of patents, resulted in the dismissal of Edward V. Shep- ard, chief clerk of the patent office. II was alleged that Mir. Shepard had stolen Ss9.0s from a safe in that office. He had held the position as clerk for more than three years and received a salary of s2,SO0.

III 6ptAI SOUTHWEST

commenting up,n the Imperial country and upon tho workings of the Imperial Land Company. has the fol. lowing to say:
 Under title of Do You Wan, a Ranch9' tho Imperial Land company has issucd a fifty N-pagc b,,ok describing tho advantages of tho New River ccuu. try. about which so much has been written within tho last year. The book is illustrated with forty-cight cuts, representing to the eve the pro grcss and tho beauty of that magniii- ecut section. The text Is compiled from reports made by the representa- tives of tho press and written from a conservative standpoint. aud the work is altogether ouc of the most reliable aud trustworthy ever published upon tho resources of new country.
 The editor of tho farm department of tho Times has travelled over every portion of this great delta. and has no, hesita;cd to iudorsc the great en- terprise of joining the land and the water that Is now so far under way. The Times was the first newspaper to sc; forth the facts regarding the New River country, and after due invesii- Ca,ion. to indorsc editorially the de- vclopmrn;s proposed by the promoters of the Imperial canal. Since this pa per exploited the possibilities of that section the press of Southern Califor- mia has joined in the good work. and now the proposition is so far advanced that fine pamphlet is produced filled with pictorial and written illustrations of what has been accomplished. and no, with what may be or should be in the future.
 IL now remains for the sugar and the cattle industries to complete the transformation of this desert waste so far promoted by the inauguration of one of the greatest canal systems of the continent. From what has been determined by the sugar beet cxpcri- unenis upon another portion of ihis delta there Is no reasonable doubt of the success of large sugar beet enter prise upon the lands of the Imperial canal. When the time Is ripe for a practical application of the experience already gained tn sugar beet culture al Indio capital may take hold with the prclimiuaries already settled, indicat' ing that the conditions are right for the growing of a heavy tonnage of beets with percentage of sugar rare ly, if ever. excelled by any other sec ton in the world. Great progress may be expected in more than one line oi farming in this favored country in the immediate future.

BUT THREE ESCAPED.
Al Japanese Laborers Caught
i'm Great Northern Wreck.

Anaconda, Mont, Nov. ia special
to the Standard from Great Falls,
Mont, says that ten japanese labor
ers were killed and twenty-eight in
jured, three probably fatally and the
others more or less seriously, in a col
hsion between a freight train and
work train on the Great Northern rail-
road near Culbertson, a station near
the eastern boundary line of this state
Sunday morning. The freight train
was running about 25 miles hour and
the work train was stationary. Round
ing curve, the freight crashed into
the work train and sad havoc followed.
One of the cars in the work train
was a bunk or sleeping car. In this
were fOrty-One Japanese labOrerS. But
three of them escaped death or injury,
scenes followed the crash Wounded
men lay about everywhere. All were
horribly mangled. The ground was
soaked with blood and the ShriexS of
the injured were agonizing. The car
contained a stove, and the Wreckage
was soon ignited.
The trainmen and the three uninjured
japanese worked swiftly to save the
victims from certain death in the
names. By dint of extraordinary effort
on the part of the uninjured none were
lnclnerated- The fire communicated to
the other cars in the train, and alto
gether seven of them were burned.
such help as Culbertson afforded was
speedily summoned, and as soon as pos
slble special train was sent from

geons and other assistance. The wound

The special train from Glasgow with

was met in the station in Great Falls
by willing men eager to lend every as
slStance. The injured were taken to
the hospitals where their wounds were
dressed 1t is the opinion of the sur
geons that three of the men in the hos
pital will die and perhaps others may
also succumb.
Few of the japanese are able to tell
connected story of the disaster, owing
70 their inability to speak English.
Their tales, however, simple and broken
as they are, tell the horrible experience
which they underwent

HOSTILE LEGISLATION.
Minnesota May Have Special Ses-
sion to Discuss Railroads.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. ia spontane-
Gus cry of national Importance has
sprung up in Minnesota during the last
few days, demanding the converting OF
the legislature in special session for the
purpose of enacting legislation that will
prevent any change in the management
or direction of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific roads This feeling has
been aggravated by an opinion of the
attorney general and of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission. Be
cause of the interstate commerce law
the state has no jurisdiction over the
traffic of the iron ore roads of the
northern part of the state, owned by
the United States Steel company, prac-
tically shutting out the independent
mine owner from mining or shipping
his ore at a profit.
The business men with one accord
are unanimous in the opinion that
something must be done at once or rail-
roads will override all the laws, not
only in Minnesota. but of all the states.
The combination organized to control
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific. they charge, is apparently organ
lied for the purpose of circumventing
the law in this and other states. and
the suggestion is made that laws be
enacted that corporations organized in

NICHOLS AN INVENTOR.
Santa Fe Machinist Patents a Money
Saving Invention.

Machinist john Nichols is the inventor
of a new chuck for facing air brake
packing. Its chief merit is that it
saves about five-sixths of the time usu-
ally required for this work. The prin-
ciple is this: A blank counter-board
plate is screwed on the spindle of an
ordinary lathe, having six thumb
screws on its outside diameter. A split
and the ring to be faced inside of it,
Two thumbscrews are then set up and
the apparatus is ready for operation.
Besides being a means of economy of
time it is simple and a labor saver. 1t
is an improvement over the methods
used by the Westinghouse people, and
will be worth much to the Santa Fe.

WHEAT FOR MEXICO.
Santa Fe Has Fifty Cars Waiting For
Equipment at Ell Paso.

There are nearly fifty cars of wheat
in Ell Paso awaiting equipment to carry
it into Mexico. The grain comes from
California by the Santa Fe.
The heavy export demand for wheat
is due to the temporary removal of the
Mexican duty, for the purpose of bust
ing" the Mexican wheat combine. The
order removed the tariff embargo from
corn as we'll and remains in effect until
January. In view of the anticipated
movement of grain to Mexico, the roads
have published a 25-cent cut rate on
wheat for export duty, being applicable
through the three Texas gateways.
While there is apparently a big rush
in wheat from Minnesota, Kansas and
Missouri on the east and California on
the west, there has been no corn offer
ed. This seasons yield of corn shows a
large reduction in the figures of 1900.
California wheat entering the Mexico
competition is regarded as something
new.

100 cars for general freight movement

RAILROAD NEWS.
Rock Island to Spend 100000
at Chickasha.
New Shops and Terminal Facili-
ties to Be Built.
BEGINS THIS WEEK.
Capacity of the Round House to
Capacity of the Round House to
Be Doubled.
Improvements to Be Completed
by Next Spring.

Rock Island officials have decided to
spend about 100000 in shop and termi-
nal improvements at ChickaSha, Indian
Territory, and active operations in con-
struction work will begin the latter part
of this week or the first part of next
week
ChickaSha is a central point on the
main line to Fort Worth, and is the
junction at which the Anadarko, Noun
tain View and Mangum and the Fort
Sill and Lawton lines touch the main
line of the road.
Progress has been SO rapid in this
country recently that the building and
construction work has hardly kept
apace. Depot facilities at number Of
points along the line have demanded en-
largement and the road has been hard
pressed to keep UP with the work.
The erection of the shops at Chicka-
Sha will add materially to the popula-
ton and growth of the town. 1t is said
it is the policy OF the Rock Island to
direct as much of the repair work and
construction work as is possible to that
point, and that the shops will undoubt-
eddy be enlarged in future years.
The dimensions of the main machine
shop will be 210x118 feet. 1t will be a
frame and brick structure as will also
the boiler shop, whose dimensions will
be 42x20 feet
Inc TOunQnOuSe faClIltlGS are TO De
extended also. The capacity of the
present roundhouse is ten stalls. The
capacity is to be doubled. The stalls
will be so feet in length.
The stalls are longer than the aver
age. They are to be built of extra size
because the Rock Island will run big
engines on the southern line.
W. r. Cannon, superintendent of
bridges and building of the southern di-
vision of the lines west of the Mis-
souri, river will have the work in
charge. He will go to Chickasha this
week to superintend the preliminary
work of the construction. 1t is planned
to have the work completed in the
spring, and from % to so men will be at
work on the shops during the winter.
A switch table will be built one
side the machine shops. The car repair
work is being done on repair tracks in
the yard. This work will be continued
under those conditions for a time yet;
at least until the construction work
already planned is completed. Follow
ing the completion of the machine shops
it is said the car repair sheds will be
built.
Freight work has been so heavy, and
gives promise of increasing to such ex-
tent that orders have been issued for
cOmmodations at Caldwell
Additions to freight rooms have been
made at several points along the line.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Ell Paso Railroad Man Beaten By
Telegraph Operators.

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 19.-Mr. Nc
Dewitt the night pumper for the G. HI.
at Knox station was assaulted Saturday
night and badly beaten up. He came in
on the morning passenger train to
have his broken bones set and his cut
flesh sewed up. He was seen by a re-
porter for the Ell Paso Herald and quer-
led in regard to the assault, but was
very reserved on the subject.
Mr. McDevitt states that while at
work he was attacked by both the day
and night operators at Knox, who were
armed with leaden or brass knucks.
They attacked him without warning and
beat him until he was insensible. He
would say nothing about the trouble
which led to the assault.
Mr. McDevitt sustained at least a
dozen bad cuts about the face and head
and his right cheek bone is badly shat
tered. His eyes are also BACKED.
