that day, until they eventually all died
or were killed for food for the others,
they gradually weakened, and from No
vember 16 to December Is the party had
to drag half the sledges on for about
four miles or five miles, as the case
might be, then walk back and pull up
again the other half of the sledges. This,
of course, hindered much progress being
made to the south, as Is miles had to
be done to gain five; but there was the
feeling that every mile of advance was

On December Is, in latitude so degrees
80 minutes south, depot was made
about IT miles from the land, which
could not be approached nearer owing
to huge crevasses and pressure ridges
which were not possible for sledges to
cross. Leaving a certain amount of
provisions for the return journey, and
discarding everything that could pos
sibly be discarded, shortening the ration
of provisions, and leaving the dogs
fish food, which had become bad owing
to the hot sun, the party left for final
dash to the south on the same day.

Wheat Estimates.

H. V. Jones, of Minneapolis, who is
an acknowledged authority upon crop
reports, makes the following esti-
mates:
The wheat production of Minnesota
and the two Dakotas for 1908 is 49,
100000 bushels less than in 1902. This
reduction is in part due to decrease
of acreage and in part to a decrease
of average yield. The acreage decrease
is about 100000, which, on the basis
of the computed average yield this
year, is equal to 100000 bushels;
the decrease in average of yield is
equivalent to 1.35 bushels an acre, or
about 100000 bushels, a total of
2S,0OO,O0O bushels.
The amount of old wheat carried
over to the new crop is estimated at
100000 less than for the previous
year, or 100000, thus reducing the
available northwest supply to 10000,
900 less than last year.
The feature of interest in the north
west crop this year is the loss OF
wheat acreage. The total is comput-
ed here at 100000 acres less than last
year. The difficulty of arriving at
satisfactory conclusion on this point
is admitted, but these figures are be-
lieved to be conservative and safe. The
reduction of 100000 acres last year
is fully sustained by the distribution.
The area, condition, average yield
and total yields promised are as fol-
lows:

wonder silk for time had to give way.
Whilst white still reigns, we notice col
ors are showing here and there; the
blues, delft and pale blue, and in linens
the soft, deep reds, holding their own
after the fashion arbiters' decree of
white wrists only.
The very long shoulder effect must be
observed in the waist, either by means
of deep yoke, long, wide shoulder
straps, or collar that shall come well
over the seam of the sleeve. And speak
positively what is to be the right thing.
That they are to be full at the lower
part is certain, but whether or not more
fulness will be required above the elbow
remains to be seen. Present indications
point to little increase, of fulness at the
top.
Trimmings for waists will be varied.
Large, unique buttons are effective, es-
pecially on dark material, and on rich,
dark stuffs black fagoting over white
lining also is very effective. Bias and
up-and-down tucks of self-material are
used on the fall waists, and this orna-
mentation has the double merit of
cheapness and style Stocks are almost
invariably the same material as the
waist, and trimmed to correspond with
the blouse. Long, stole-like stocks, ex-
tending clear to the belt, will probably

rather than dressmakery,
but the fabrics themselves are
to be very like those worn by
men. Checks, printed-yarn effects,
heavy-looking material splashed with
color contrasting with the founda-
ton tone, all these are borrowed from
the garb affected by the sterner sex.
And the straight lines that will be in
vogue in preference to the curving ones
Of past years will add emphasis to the
general air of mannishness.
The fall costumes will look business
like, unitarian, and perhaps suggest
to innocent man, because of their severe
simplicity, that they really are simple
and inexpensive. Not necessarily so.
Authorities declare the present year is
to be silk year, that all gowns are to
be provided with drop-skirt of silk,
that everyone must have waists of silk,
petticoats of silk, Innings of silk. And
the one item of lining will therefore add
very considerably to the expense of
these neat, simple-appearing gowns.
But to offset the luxury of the free use
Of silk, we are to have this winter the
economy of the short gown, even elabo-
rate afternoon gowns are to be without
the superfluous train; those of the best
style will be of the same length all
around, merely touching the floor.
In making an old shirt shorter, to get
the close fit about the hips and sufficient
fulneSS at the bottom is not an easy mat
ter? AS rule 1t is advisable to rip up
the skirt entirely, and cut 1t over from
a new pattern.
In the autumn, rich autumnal shades
always are in vogue, but this year the
grape tones, the blue-reds, are to be
especially prominent. In themselves
they are beautiful shades, but often are
very trying when worn next the face
and should not be chosen unless of de-

Livestock exhibitions of National
part of the Minnesota State Fair. For
three years there have been successful
shows of this class. If this years show
did no more than merely duplicate
that of last no more would need be said
of it to induce multiudes to go and see
it. But everything indicates that the
forthcoming show will excel all pre-
decessors. The National Shorthorn
and Hereford Associations will again
make the Minnesota fair the only state
fair for the exhibition of the choicest
animals of these breeds under the di-
rect auspices Of the associations. And
it is possible that other breeds will be
represented in similarly conspicuous
manner. Al all events, it is known
that all breeds will be represented by
many and most excellent herds and in
dividuals. Public sales Of cattle will
be held, as last year, giving prospec-
tive buyers SPLENDID opportunity to
combine business with pleasure; pro-
ftable business with wholesome, in
structive pleasure. This fair has now
become too prominent, too much of a
national affair, to make the showing
of ordinary specimens of cattle, or
offering them for sale, desirable or
profitable to their owners, hence a
very high class exhibit may be expect
ed. The fair opens this year Monday,
Aug. 31st and closes Sept. 5th.

In the meantime Kinney Lou had got the lead and won the heat by narrow margin amidst volley of cheers for the driver. Bud Do- ble Hawthorne sold for s1s0 in a 5000 pool
