READY FOR THE CROP
Northwestern Roads Have Cars Waiting
to Move Wheat

I
The railroads running thru Minnesota
and the Dalotas have put into those
states about $4,000 box cars, many OF
them Of very high capacity in preparation
for the movement Of the grain crop. o1-
fcials say they are content to let these
cars lie idle for few days for the sake
of being prepared for the rush when 1t
comes. Owing to the rains the movement
IS late. so that 1t Is expected that when 1t
really starts the railroads will have a
great deal more than they can do to han
die It, sr....
Milwaukee. Northwestern, Northern
Pacific, and Great Northern say that they
are fully prepared to take care Of their
traffic when it comes. Northern Pacific
people say they are not at all disturbed
over the traffic prospects for the coming
year, but that they are not disposed to put
in heavy orders for new equipment at
present. The company has over 800 loco
{ motives. and over $4,000 freight cars in
operation a total Of. $3.50 miles, which
& Is more liberal allowance than on any
S other granger road in the northwest. The
company added urtng 1902 about $500
box cars and 1900 fiat cars. It has added
during 1903 to it's equipment at about the
I same rate, so that it now considers that
Its equipment is up to the traffic require
2 ments of the year and that further large
increases are not justified by the imme-
/, diate prospects. .... s, .... ~

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 1S.-A report
comes from the northern end Of the Wis
consin Central road to the effect that the
management is planning to build cut
off line which will save about forty miles
on the route between st. Paul and MIN
sneapolis and Chicago. The work said TO
be under consideration Will lnclude a large
additional bridge over one of the north
ern streams, as well as other costly ex-
gpenditures.
When the rumored outline OF the WORK
was laid before President II. f. WHIT
comb Of the Central road recently ana
when he was asked Tor particulars OF the
plan, he said: I'VE have no plans IN that
direction" Beyond this laconic statement
the president would not talk upon the
question. but was willing to discuss the
weather, crops and the like, but not the
question Of cutoff on his road
~ It is said that the story Of the pro-
posed move Is correct. but no one IN au-

Estimates Give Wheat at from 10 to 1e
Bushels an Acre.
According to the Northern Pacific roads
weekly report issued yesterday there will
be a fair grain yield. Threshing has been
stopped, some late soWn flax has been
ruined and on lowlands some potatoes
have rotted. The greatest damage done
was by the Saturday storm in North Da-
kota, when heavy fall Of snow was ac-
companied by heavy wind. If warm
weather follows the storm it Is feared that
wheat will sprout in the shock. The back
ward corn crop has not been helped any
by the cool weather.
According to the estimates Of agents the
crop will be as follows:
In Minnesota: wheat, 10 to 1S bushels; oats,
20 to 35 bushels; barley, 80 to 40 bushels; lax,
s to IL bushels; pota toes, 40 to Is bushels.
In North Dakota: WHEAT, to 25 bushels; oats,
IS to 40 bushels; barley, IT to 35 bushels; fax,

SUNDAY EXCURSION PROTEST

e Railroad Men Believe There Is Ground
Z for Objections.
4 Complaints against Sunday excursions
to the larger towns in the territory are
being received by the Western Passenger
association and by individual officers Of
the roads. Passenger men are inclined
sto believe that the clergymen, churches

ground for their objections. The general
ground Of complaint is against the desc
s Grafton of the Sabbath and the cultivation
OF disregard for the day. The North

of Los Angeles, who is in the re-
public looking up the asphalt bust

car for Ell Paso. Mr.. Doheny is
interested in field, which is said to
be rich in asphaltum, near Ebano,
on the line of the Central. The
asphalt is said to be of a very fine
quality, much Of it coming to the
surface in liquid form through the
company's wells. The California
promoter, who was formerly heav-
ily interested in the oil fields OF
that state, is now devoting his
time and attention to Mexican as
phalt, and during the brief time ne
spent in the city last week, endea-
vored to close, a number of import
ant contracts in that line. He
found, however, that the field is
pretty we'll taken up by local con-
tractors. 1t is likely, however,
that Mr.. Doheny may find a good
market in this city for his asphalt

buving extensive railroad interests
is to prevent combinations or
trusts among different companies.

the sum of 100000 pesos toward
founding an agricultural college at

who for many years prior to 1900,
was styled the cattle king of the
West and who for three years past
has been residing at .Parral, Chi
huahua, contemplates seeking new
fortunes in the gold fields of Oaxa-
ca. Since abandoning his cattle
