The Western Farmers Prosperity

The accounts of those disastrous
floods. this summer, in parts of the
West. destroying crops and property in
many sections, may have given some
here in the East an idea that the West
is on the verge of poor crops and gen.
eral depression. Such however is far
from being the case. The damage by
heavy rains and floods has been great
ly exaggerated and has been only local
at the worst The wheat crop will not
equal that of last year, but it will be
large and abundant and the crop OF
corn and potatoes will be among the
largest the West has ever known. 1t is
West will have one of the best seasons
they ever had and the Democratic
calamity bowler who goes among
them, this fall, will meet a chilling
frost.
One proof of the prosperous condition
of Kansas was given in the Topeka Cap
ital few days ago. The same story can
be told of all the middle West. 1t was

ures of mortgages in Dickinson county

that in 1892 there We're 136 FORECLOSURES,

of salt the rumor that Bowdoin will
revive the sport of rowing. For over
a third of a century the class races on

college year and many notable
triumphs We're won on the water in
races with the other colleges and

But the advent of football. a decade
ago, and the increased interest in track
sports marked the doom of boating at
BOwdoin. 1t was a sport in which only
Il comparative few could engage and it
was an expensive branch of athletics to
maintain. The old racing shells are
ruined or out of date and the old boat

history of boating at Bowdoln 1T is in
