THE GREAT HOD-CARRlER.
The Mississippi Annually Transports
Millions of Cubic Feet of Earth.

"The river is so muddy" is a com.
mon exclamation. but how many who
make that remark have any idea how
muddy the Mississippi really is2
The water looks fairly clear---not
much more turbid than ordinary rain
water and yet, according to an rsu-
thority, there is enough solid matter
carried down stream annually to make
a block of earth 300 feet high and one
mile square. The same authority
says:
"Think what that means. Instead
of river Of water that is a river of
land. 1t would make a solid stream
of earth five feet deep and nine feet
wide, flowing night and day as fast as
man can walk-four miles an hour
all sliding down off the northern part
of the country toward the sea. Year
in, year out that endless line of earth
goes on. 1t would take a force of
more than 80. men, working in
shifts, to threw the dirt
into the stream, supposing the river
bed were rigid and an inezhaustible
supply Of dirt on the bank. Red

FIGURE ON LANDS.
Sold During the Fiscal Year Over the
Northern Pacific System.

St. Paul Dispatch:
The results of last springs wonder
sui movement of settlers into tn,
northwest from other states ar,
strongly. reflected in the annual repor
of the Northern Pacific land depart
ment, which has just been handed tc
the president,.-by General Land Com.
missioner W, h. Phipps.
The report shows that the increase
in sales of all varieties of Northern
Pacific laRds, timber land, agricultural
land, mineral land, etc., was very
nearly 1000, 600 acres for the fiscal
year, ending June 30 last. This in
cludes the lands along the Northern
Pacific system proper, and the pro-
prietary lines
The total number of acres sold dur
ing the fiscal year just closed was
4, $50, 900, an increase of 81, 5000 acres
for that period.
This is looked upon as exceedingly
satisfactory. There were no single
tsales of immense proportions, as there
we're during the fiscal year of 1901.
The dealings of 1902 were marked by
Individual purchases by actual SET
tiers. The Northern Pacific has not
attempted to crowd land prices. be-
lieving that every acre sold now, even
at something of a sacrifice, will yield
golden returns in the future, through
the traffic it yields.
The sales in Minnesota for 1909
were much larger than during the
preceding year, reaching 300, 900 acres,
an increase of nearly $4,000 acres.
The Northern Pacific sold 1,S18, 900
acres in North Dakota, 49, acres
in Montana, 81, 900 acres in Idaho,
l, 3Ss, 600 acres in Washington. and
about 4, 800 acres in Oregon. The an
nusl report for the preceding year
shows there remained unsold on June
80. 1901, about 30, 261, 900 acres.
,Deducting the sales of the year Just
closed shows that the company still
has approximately 10, SS1, 900 acres.
An accurate estimate is impossible for
the reason that many surveys have
been completed.
In many cases settlers took immedi
ate possession of the lands sold, and
will commence preparing their lands
for next seasons crops Immediately.

A STRONG ORGANIZATION.
Concordia Band Starts In Again, with
Favorable Prospects.

The old Concordia band met last
night and reorgarized and had re.
hearsal. Prof. -Jache is the director.
Eighteen pieces were in the rehearsal,
and it is believed that the band will
number fully twenty-five in a short
time. The next meeting will De held
Monday night.
The band has engaged to play at the
Catholic celebration at Madison Lake
Aug. 18th, and will be open for any
engagement from now on.
1t is said that members of the Ju-
venile band will join the Concordis,
thus making strong organization.
The two bands have not united.
The mayor and council have been
sounded as to their willingness to
make an appropriation for Saturday
evening street concerts, with favor
able results.

The ticket inspectors at the st. Pau
union passenger station want a bar
placed on kissing and are drawing ur
a petition to the directors of the com
pany asking that orders be issued pro-
hibiting kissing at the gates leading
to the train sheds. The inspectors get
the idea from the reported orders of
the eastern roads.
"We don't care how much kissing
people do" said an inspector, "but
they should get it over with before
they reach the gates. At certain hours
of the day traffic is very heavy and
delay ensues in getting through the
gates. These same people may have
been sitting in the waiting-rooms for
an hour and there may be found both
room and time to kiss"

New York's Breathing Spot.

Another b reathing spot added to the
collection when the new Thomas
Jefferson park, for One Hundred and
Eleventh to One Hundred and Four
teenth streets and from First to Pleas
ant avenue, was formally opened for
the use of the public by Park Com
missioner Wilcox.
The park contains about nine acres,
but will eventually be extended to the
Harlem river front, giving it about
fifteen acres, and which will include
in its boundaries the recreation pier
now in use at One Hundred and
Twelfth street. The park at present is
in barren condition, being devoid of
shrubbery or grass, and paths have
not yet been laid out. 1t is inclosed
by a fence and is divided into two
sections, one section, $50 by 6O3 feet,
being devoted to children's play

a number of park settlers, and the
other, or south section, to boys ball
ground.
The park will be open day and
night. and gang of .werkmen will be
kept at work improving it by laying
out paths, sodding. it and planting
young trees, SO that by the end of the
present season, if not sooner, it is
hoped to make it an attractive spot.
The park is in section of Harlem
that has large Italian population,
and is known as Little Italy," and
will be a boon to the residents there
in warm weather. Many children and
adults enjoyed the privileges of the
new park and the south section was
promptly invaded by boys with bat

TRIPLE DROWNING
Awful Accident at Lake Jeffer.
son Last Evening.
Three Young Ladies Meet Theis Death
by the Upsetting of Boat-Two
Companions Escape.

A terrible tragedy happened at Lake
I,Jefferson, in LIE Sueur county, last
evening, resulting in the drowning
of three yeang ladies and the narrow
escape of two young men from death
beneath the waves.
The fTe young people were out in a
row boat, and in some manner it
capsized, throwing its occupants into
the water, which ives forty feet deep
at that point, although but hundred
feet from the shore.
The lake was rough at the time,
and it is supposed that the ladies be-
came frightened, resulting in tie
overturning of the boat.
The names of the young Aadies are
Mabel Wells of Monticello, Msrva
Pye and Eva Fasken of Earibault.
Their bodies had not been recovered
this forenoon. $50, .u.-.
The ladies were accompanied sby
Chss. Bingham and N. Hansen of
ST. Paul. The former narrowly es-
capped drowning, and was reported
very low this morning, .but it is be-

Jefferson lake is quite 'a.popular re-

been stopping there, including other

.. THE BOOK OF MINNESOTA.

While the Pioneer Press will ain
to excel in literary and pictorial por
trayal in picturing the might of thi.
state for the benefit of present anG
prospective residents of Minnesota anG
the outside world generally. still "The

mines, the wealth of its numbering in

production, the productiveness of it's
agriculture generally, and the prosper
ity of its commercial and manufactur-
ing enterprises. While the wonderful
resources and prosperous condition of
Minnesota are generally appreciated
by people of this and adjoining states,
it is not amiss to offer evidence to the
world at large of the possibilities for
additional investment of capital and
the opportunities for the health and
wealth seeker generally. Such work
the Pioneer Press anticipates produc-
ing in "The Book of Minnesota. "
No one can deny the fact that a

The Length of the Autumn Coat.

From Harpers' Bazaar:
The coats of all the costumes de-
signed for the autumn are made long
enough to come more than half way
down the skirt, and the short jacket
of last year and the year before is
quite out of date. And yet, to show
how capricious is fashion, an i'm
mensely smart little coat is on the old
fashioned REFER style, double breasted
and curve in at the sides. After all,
the fashion which remains as many
styles come and go, is to pay more
and more attention to the question OF
which is becoming to the especial in
dividual who is to wear it, and from
all present indications the autumn
and winter will not show any more
definitely marked lines than did last
year.

SHERIFFS IN EARNEST,
They Will Put Stop to Persistent
Horse Thievinu.

Winona, Mimi, Special, July 3d.
A meeting of sheriffs was held here
today for the purpose of effectins
some means to stop the horse thievina
which has been going on in southern
Minnesota.
Working individually the efforts OF
the sheriffs to run down the offenders
have been fruitless. 1t is thought
that possibly by united action some
thing more effective may be accom-
plished. While the meeting was called
by Sheriff Dickman of Wabasna, he
was very unfortunately unable to be
present, having been summoned to
Chicago last evening. He was repre-
sented today by his deputy, Ben Ord
way.
When the meeting was called to Or
der this afternoon it was found that
those present included Sheriffs Martin
Llns Of Winona, E. W. Vine of Roches-
ter, P. j. Lundquist of Red Wing, W.
E. Barber of La Crosse, Frank Collins
of Waseca, j. @. Johnson of Austin.
Frank Evans of Houston, E. K. Blexrud
OF Preston and Deputy Sheriff Ben
Ordway of Wabasha.
The sheriffs are in dead earnest in
their efforts to put stop to this law
lessness, and it is expected that some
practical work will follow today's
meeting that will cause the horse
thieves to1-give over their operations
in this territory.
Another meeting will be held soon,
when the organization will be effect

NORTHWEST'S
GRAIN CROPS
Harvest Begins For the Early
Grain.
Aggregate Yield for Minnesota and
the Dakotas Promises to Exceed
Any Previous Year.

The northwestern states are now
approaching the greatest grain hvsrest
ever known. Minnesota, North and
South Dakota and Manitoba have pro-
duced more wheat, oats, barley and
fax than crop estimaters have credit
ed to this territory, and this mas been
accomplished under adverse conditions
unparalleled since the settlement of
the country.
| Heavy snow and rain in March,
followed by rain and destructive hail
and wind storms almost daily up to
the goth of July, with an unprecedent-
ly low temperature during this period,
upset all calculations of the farmers.
Seeding was delayed for weeks, and
large area that was intended for
wheat was seeded to other grains,
while thousands of acres OF land has
lain fallow for the reason that It was
impossible to work in the fields. The
reports duriag June were most discour-
aging, as the lateness of the season
threatened to bring the wheat into the
hot period of July, when it would be
least able to Withstand the hot blasts
which usually prevail at this time,
and which was almost certain to be
followed by rust. However, the low
temperature, even with its accompan-
lment OF frost, has saved the crop
from these anticipated ravages. Wheat
and other grain has attained good root
a nd great height. The greatest loss.
of grain has been from nigh winds,
rain and tornadoes, which lodged it :.
but much of this has recovered The
not winds have not come. Very little
rust has resulted; grasshoppers de-
stroyed less than 1000 acres of crops.
and the farmer finds a good average
crop to harvest.
1t is not bumper" crop that the
northwest has raised. 1t is not a large
yield per acre. 1t is good. average
on greatly increased acreage, except
wheat, that has made the northwestern
states produce the largest crop in it's
history. Had the conditions been
favorable throughout the season with
the present acreage yielding as in
1893, the figures would be enormous.
Corn has come forward at an aston
shlng pace and promises a good crop
we'll up in northern latitude. A month
If hot weather aud a late frost will
make plenty of corn in this vicinity.
OATS is fair crop, and as with
barley, the farmers are small losers
nrough wet fields and lodged grain.
Early sown fax will ripen into a
;ood crop, and though the acreage can
lot be ascertained, it is believed the
ield in the northwestern states will
xceed that of last year by 80 to rs per
ent.

The Late Frank Udelhofen Left Some
Life insurance.

The body of Frank Udelhofen, who
fell dead in the harvest field Tuesday
afternoon, was brought to this city
and placed in Lamm & Landkammer' e

decided that no inquest was necessary.
Udelhofen carried 81, 900 life insur-
ance in the Catholic Benevolent
society, and with the amount paid by
members his widow will receive a
total of 81, 245. This will pay off the
