The Chronicle completes it's analysis by
giving a siX-year comparison Of the earnings
ing to their location or the charnc pr Of
their traffic. The gain In the case OF lhe
Northwestern or North Pacific grOap is
much the largest This Is due to the fnct
that the spring wheat crop In the North
west In 1901 was so much better than the
poor crop in 1900. The Southwestern group
shows healthy gain in the aggregate over
the large total OF last year. and Ii is mere
that the roads have suffered most from a

Maunificert Condition.

Fargo. n. d.. Jan. 31.-The ranch
men of the western part of the state
are delighted with the results on the
ranges so far this winter. The cattle
and horses have Jared especially well.
With the exception of two-day cold
snap in December and three-day ses-
sion of old Boreas recently. the winter
has been the most unusual ever
known.
The cattle have required little hay
and are in magnificent condition.
Many OF the ranchmen have two
year supply Of fine hay and are In
splendid position to care for the stock
should there be bad weather later on.
The demand for homegrown. accli-
mated horses for this state Is more
pronounced this winter than ordinar-

northwestern part of the state are
picking up all the young stock they
can find in the older settled localities,
and predict big demand for the stock
among the new settlers early In the
