PLENTEOUS POTATO CROP.
Three Hundred Bushels 20 the Acre
in M~innesOta.

In minnesota
According to the Northern Pacific's
latest crop report the average yield on
the Minnesota division of the line will
be from Is to rs bushels per acre of
wheat, and abou 20 bushels per acre
Of flax. Oats will run from 40 to Is
bushels. some fax has been cut. Har-
vesting is generally under full head
way, and some threshing has bee
done. Along the st. Paul & Duluth
division threshing has advanced con-
siderably. Oats average 60 bushels
per acre.
There is a tremendous crop of potatoes
along this division, the yield averag-
ing In many places 300 bushels per
acre. Owing to low prices not many
shipments are being made On the
Little Falls II Dakota branch the yield
will be fully up to expectations. The
same hattering reports come from the
Red River Valley branch.
While conditions in North Dakota
are very satisfactory, harvesting is
somewhat behind, owing to rains. The
yield will be very heavy. Wheat is
nearly all in shock and ,many farmers
have commenced to cut flax. Hail has
caused some damage zeal jamestown,
Marian and Kathlyn, but the total
yield will not be materially affected.
In Montana the harvesting Of wheat
and oats is in progress and the yield
promises to be fully as heavy as last
year.
In Washington, Oregon and Idaho
there has been no damage to grain
owing to the rains, and harvesting is
progressing rapidly.

AGREEMENT BY TRAFFIC MEN.
VIII Put Up Rates ON Grain on
Sept. IL.

Will Put UP Rates ON Grain ON
Sept. IL.
Chicago, Aug. 27.-A new agreement
to advance rates on grain was made at
a meeting here yesterday of the traffic
officials Of the Western railroads. All
lines are pledged to put into effect on
Sept. Is the basis of rates whichin July
they agreed to make effective Aug Is.
1t is generally believed that the new
agreement will be carried out. 1t is by
no means certain hat the interstate
commerce commission will not inquire
into the failure Of the railroads to
advance grain rates on Aug. Is.
The commission has arranged to hold
a similar investigation Of rates on
grain and grain products from ST.
Paul and Minneapolis to the East. at
st. Paul. commencing Sept. 2. At that
hearing facts may develop which will
induce the commission to come here
for the purpose Of holding another in
vestigation. 1t Is not unlikely that
traffic officials OF some OF the Western
lines will suddenly realize that for the
sake Of their health they will have to
take vacations in September, despite
the fact that some Of them have al
ready had n vacation this year.

way Are Jared.
Winona, Mimi, Aug. q. - The pro-
posed park system for Winona which
was to include a beautiful driveway
around the lake, received a serious set
back yesterday by a decision of he
district court. Some time 6 the park
board appointed appraisers who as
sessed the value of the land to be taken
for this purpose. Many of the property
holders objected to these assessments
and appealed from the decision of the
appraisers to the district court. The
decision filed yesterday is wholly in
favor of the property holders, and in
addition to %annulling the decision Of
the appraisers and the park board,
grants damages for expenditures to the
property owners. If this elaborate
park system Is to be secured a different
method u be adopted.

Thrilling Experience.
New Rochelle, N. r, Aug. 27.-After
being mourned as dead by his wife and
relatives, Henry w. Hollenberg, the
missing New York piano salesman who
left his home Tuesday Aug. IL, and
whose clothing was found in a bathing
house at Coney Island two days later,
returned home at / o'clock yesterday
morning.
He came back half-starved and de-
lirious with fever, and told his wife
h a he was put ashore from a fishing
schooner, which dropped anchor in the
sound off New Rochelle at midnight
and then sailed for New London.
Hollenberg dragged himself to the
door Of his cottage and knocked feebly
for admission. He was put to bed at
once and DR.. Frank Littlewood was
called. DR.. Littlewood said that Hol-
eral days must elapse before he will be
able to see any one He seems daZed
n talks incoherently.
Hollenberg a told part of his story
to his wife. He says that he knew
iiotAIIiS " JdHlcS "a. HIdy ol DEoOklyI
who was drowned on the day he dis
appeared, and whom it was supposed
was with him.
MY husband is in such a terrible
nervous state said Mrs. Hollenberg,
that I have not attempted to 60 into
the
Details of His Experience.
All I know is what I have been able to
pick up by sitting at his bedside. He
says that when he went in bathing at
Coney Island he must have gone out
too far, for when he tried to return he
found that the tide was too strong, and
that 1t was carrying him out to sea. He
fought with the waves as hard as he
could, but after awhile he felt himself
sinking and became unconscious. He
remembered nothing more until he re-
gained consciousness a long time after
ward n found himself in a bunk in
the forecastle Of a boat.
He afterward learned that 1t was a
fishing smack from New London. My
husband says that the sailors were
very kind. The only remark hat he
heard them make about his rescue was
that he was clinging to a spar about
o miles out at sea when they low
cred a boat and picked him up"
Mrs. Hollenberg ridicules the sug-
gestion that her husband might have
been away on a spree and invented his
story. The police Of New Rochelle are
inclined to believe Mrs. Hollenberg's
story.
