SPLENDID WEATHER
FOR PAST TEN DAYS HAS BENIN
GoDsEND TO FARMERS.
Cotton, Corn ard Al! Minor Crops
are In Good Condition and
Full Average.

Pine Bluff, Juy 12.-The splendid
weather for the past ten days has
been goGsond to farmers, enabling
them to get their crops in good condl-
ton.
Cotton is doing fairly we'll. That
on high land is very large and grow
ing rapidly; too fast, in fact, for the
best development of the plant. The
low lands have been plowed since the
heavy rain, and the cotton has re-
gained its usual color and commenced
to grow nicely; fruiting moderately
we'll.
Corn and all minor crops are f;lll
average.
We have many reasons to be tha1k-
full for the splendid prospects II
abundant crops, as we'll as the entire
absence of foods and drOughts that
have devastated many other sections
of the country both north and south.

The Butte inter mountain., 1902-06-05

a record Of twenty one fractures of the
skull that Mr.. Kecne has sustained while
playing polo. The number Of times that
his arms and his eoIlar-bone have been
broken on the polo field is not known,
but it isn't necessary to furnish the fig
ures. The public is familiar with Mr..
Kcencs glorious performances, and where
could higher testimonial Of the physi-
cal benefits of polo be secured than in Mr..
Kcene's person? He could hardly have
hoped to live through half the injuries he
has received on the polo field if he had
sustained them anywhere else; yet he is
still able to play the game and TO be fallen
on by pony every few weeks. Any
one who has followed the useful and edi-
flying career Of Foxhall keene must at
once agree with Mr.. Gould that as a
health giver and life preservcr the game
of polo can be highly recommended. Still
there may be those and they may live in
Butte, who viewing the ground and lofty
tumblng Of Mr.. Keenc may decide to stick

SIBERIA WHEAT CAN'T HURT US.

In an interview in Tacoma the other day
George Janson. one of the construction
engineers Of the Trans Siberian railway.
gave ii as his opinion that this gigantic
enterprise would be completed and ready
for general traffic about the latter part Of
this year. Like government undertakings
i'll our own country this colossal enterprise
has cost much more than the original csti-
mates, and required much more time to
complete. For example, it was estimated
that II would cost s4,oooooo roublcs and
would be finished in five years. Instead of
this, it mas cost the enormous sum Of
75o,ooo,ooo roublcs (about $375,ooo ooo),
and has required over eleven years to
build.
The chief interest which the Northwest
has in this big undertaking lies in the fact
that ii opens up in Siberia a tremendous
area Of wheat growing territory and recent
ly there has been fear that this would
mean dangerous competition with
America in supplying Europe and Asia
with foodstuifs. According to investiga-
tions recently concluded by the San Fran
cisco chamber OF commerce there does not
seem TO be much ground for this fear. So
inferior is the grain and so small is the
yield per acre in this newly opened terri
tory that there is little chance from compe-
tition between that region and the wheat
growing states of America.
There docs not seem to he much likeli-
hood of improving the grain or increasing
the yield in Siberia. This has been pretty
well demonstrated by planting California
wheat in Siberia, which turned out in pro-
duct and yield about the same as the
Siberian grain. On the other hand the
Siberian grain planted in California turned
out equally as good in quality and yield as
California wheat The same experiment
with other grains and other agricultural
products produced like results. So it must
be the land or the climate which places
Siberia at this disadvantage as against the
agricultural regions of the Pacific slope.
Whatever il may be, it would appear that
our growing trade with European and
Asia,ic countries is not likely to be seri-
ously hurt by the completion OF the Trans
Siberian railroad That it will be of in
calculable benefit to tho Russian empire is
certain.

POLO AND HEALTH.

Polo has not yet reached Butte but as
ping-pong cannot hold our people in its
gentle grasp for all time, it may as well
consider other forms of amusement. Mr..
George J. Gould advocates polo playing
for health, manly vigor and good habits.
Bring up the boys to take an interest in
athletics he says, "and they will never
disslpate,' Some people may be dis
posed to meet this declaration with refer
ence to the cases of Malcolm w. Ford,
John L. Sullivan and lot of other peo-
pie who have at various times taken an
interest in athletics but we must remem-
Der that there are exceptions to all rules
even including those laid down by George
Could the son of Jay. 4
Referring especially to the benefits of
polo Mr.. Gould says:
AS lover of horses and an ardent rider
