EYES ON THE CROP
Railroad Reports Are of the Most
Promising Kind
CORN, HAY AND POTATOES
Reported to Be Growing WelI-New
Lands in Flax-Outlook
Around Fargo.

Northwestern railroads have never re-
ceived as favorable June crop reports as
those for the week ending June S. Every
part of the northwest, except the wet
region in the Red River valley where
seeding was delayed, is sharing in the
bright prospects. Southern and south
western Minnesota make an exception
ally good showing. Reports from every
station on the line of the Minneapolis &
St. Louis show a prospect that could
hardly be improved upon. Corn of which
there is an increased acreage is growing
fast. Many points also report an ex-
ccptionally good prospect for heavy hay
and potato crop.
Along the 500.
D. W. Casseday, industrial agent of the
500 road, who has recently returned from
a trip over the cornDany's line in North
Dakota, says that the flax acreage along
the 500 in that state will be double that
of last year. All grain is looking fine
and all Of the new settlers along the 500
are we'll pleased with their prospects.
An immense amount of new land has been
broken this year and almost all of it is
corners have seeded corn. The 500 has
established a new town, Cassellman, on it's
main line in North Dakota between Har-
vey and Anamoose.
The Word From Fargo.
w. D. Sweet, mayor Of Fargo, is at the
West. He says that, while in the terri
tory Immediately tributary to Fargo the
crop prospects are disappointing, the gen.
eral outlook in the entire territory trib-
utary to that point is exceptionally good.
"While we have learned to count no
crop sure until it is harvested" said
Mayor Sweet, E'the bushes men of Fargo
feel good over the present prospects.
With ordinary luck from now on, the crop
will be god one and Fargo's business
record for 1902 will be big. Fargo is
rapidly coming to the front as a diSribut-
ing point. The new hardware house now
locating there will be Of great assistance
to Fargo jobbers in their efforts to make
the city a first-class wholesale market.
ALI of the machinery concerns expect t.
increase their business this year and
many of them are showing their faith
in the city by making permanent invest
ments in buildings and plants

That is a touching tale Of love and
ambition which comes from Macon,
Kansas. Mrs Emma Neagle of that
place had the ambition, and Mr.. James
M. Neagle, her husband, had, and we
hope still has, the love. Mrs Neagles
ambition was to live. move and have
her being in the midst of lIvelier scenes
than those of Macon. with which her
placid husband was pleased. So she
spent most of her time in Chicago, while
Mr.. Neagle stayed at home with the
cows and other appurtenances of the
farm. When he got really tired of liv-
ing without Mrs. Neagle he brought suit
for divorce. When the case was called
few days ago, however, Neagle's at
torney dismissed it. He said he had
just received a letter from his client
saying he had Joined his wife in Chica-
go and got job there, and he didn't
want the suit pushed. This it appears.
is the fourth time Neagle has tried to
please his spouse by going to a city;
the other three times he failed and had
to go back to the farm to get money to
support her.
Love will find way and so will am
bition. OF course Mrs Neagle is right
in finding her way out of Macon and
calmly waiting for Mr.. Neagles love to
lead him out Of Macon. Much as Mr..
Neagle likes farming he may live to
| thank his wife for drawing him out of
| it. She knows what is best for herself
| and incidentally for him too.

Proper aspiration should always be
encouraged. Therefore we encourage
the aspiration of the army chaplains
who are aspiring and trying hard to
get the privileges of higher rank.
There are ffty-four chaplains in the
army, more than half Of whom have
been appointed since 1898. They now
have the rank of captain. and they ar
que that if, after time, a limited num-
Der, say twelve or fifteen, can be pro-
NOTED as other officers are. it will af-
ford a needed stimulus in the perform
ance of their sacred duties. They ask
that instead of being always called cap
tain they be given a chance at the title,
pay and emoluments of a major.
By all means let the army chaplains
have a chance to be called Major and
get Majors pay. OF course a Major
can preach better and do more good
than a Captain, and when a Major is
called home" it will sound better if his
Lord and Master can say unto him
We'll done, Major" instead of well
done, Captain" or well done, good
and faithful servant"

DFSER ESSFUL,

Many people in this country haven't
money enough to buy coal and food, and
some who have money can't buy coal.
But there are more distressfuI coun-
tries than this. There has been a pro-
longed drought in Australia, chiefly in
the provinces Of New South Wales and
Queensland. 1t is estimated that the
total wheat shortage in Australia is
100000 900 bushels, of which New South
Wales has lost 6,5OO,000. Families in
parts of Queensland are living on bran
and treacle, bought originally as a
makeshift food for sheep. It is Off
cially calculated that there are not 20
100000 sheep left in New South Wales,
as compared with 60,0OO,OO0 five years
ago. Squatters have dismissed the bulk
of their employees, retaining only few
hands necessary to burn the carcasses
Of sheep and cattle where they have
dropped dead in the paddocks. One
man who originally had twenty-five
thousand sheep preserved by artificial
feeding saw the majority die and late
ly, in consequence of the price of fod-
der, cut the threats Of the survivors.
Thirty thousand sheep have died with
in fifteen miles radius of Marsden, New
South Wales, since the latest shearing.
One station in the neighborhood lost
10000 sheep within a week; another
SHARED 5000, but mastering them soon
afterwards found only 1000. These
were turned adrift on the road in the
hope Of their reaching grass, but the
latest accounts say that hundreds are
dying on the journey. In 1901 the
Coonamble district grazed 1851, 1852
sheep, S,244 cattle, and 4,871 horses To-
day the cattle and horses together
number less than 1000, and the sheep
all poor, emaciated animals-less than
half a million. A traveller in vest
