PREFER NEW SCHEDULE
Travellers Said to Choose Chicago
Connections as Against the
Shorter Running Time.

In reply. to some criticism Of its action
in extending the running time of the Pho
neer Limited between Minneapolis and
Chicago, the Milwaukee Railroad company
informs T h e ] u rsn a i that this extern
sion is made chiefly at the instanc of it's
patrons, who prefer reasonable certainty
Of arrival in Chicago in time to make
eastern connection to little later hour
of departure at this end of the trip.
Experience has shown that during the
winter months, when passenger trains are
likely to encounter storms and billiards.,
it is not always possible to make the run
in the time allotted to the Pioneer Linn
tied on the summer schedule and to make
sure Of connections under such conditions
the longer schedule is adopted.
The company, in the same connection,
calls attention to the fact that there is
another train on this road which will ac-.
commodate those who wish to arrive in
Chicago earlier In the day, known as the
EAST MALL leaving Minneapolis at 6:45-
and arriving in Chicago att o'clock, max
ing the run in twelve hours and fifteen
minutes. This train has frst-class equip
ment practically equal to that OF the
Pioneer Limited, and it is believed will
furnish the necessary faster time to those
who desire the earlier arrivatin Chicago

Man Whose Lot Is Cast in
Minnesota.
o C. Gregg Tells Of Conditions in
Southern and Central Parts
Of State.

In spite Of the untoward climatic
conditions, the present season in Min
nesota is going to be one Of the best
the state has recently experienced, In
the opinion of o. G. Gregg, superin-
tendent of farmers institutes, who
Advance Thresher company this
morning after a Journey thru the
southern and central portions Of the
state.
'The growing season, including hay
ing and harvesting times was very un-
favorable," said Mr.. Gregg. Tn fact,
it was the most unfavorable season
I have ever known. AS a consequence
the work on the farms Is behind what
it usually Is at this time Of the year.
The conditions have naturally pre-
vented the early harvesting and
threshing Of grain, but the present
good weather has put matters in a
hopeful condition, especially in the
southwestern part of the state, where
my home is. The only portions which
will feel the excessive rain severely
will be those SO nearly level that
drainage will not help them mate
rally.
"'Threshing machines can now move
without much difficulty and they are
good Roadway. The stacks have dried
out nicely. This I learn from farm
ers themselves. The grain buyers also
report that prices are good at this
time. -
Barley will be Of low grade, but
wheat will be of better grade, and oats
will yield very good crop, taken as a
whole. The quality will be up to
standard. The corn crop is going to
be a surprise to us, as the first frost
was not a killing one and the subse-
'quent excellent weather matured much
Of that which was soft corn into a
good quality. - r. -: e..
IF the present good weather con-
tinues we shall gather a crop that will
be of a decided help to the farmers
and the business interests generally.
The extreme amount of rainfall this
year and last is a guarantee that dur
Ing the next year or SO the amount. of
water in the ground will render i'm
possible any damages because Of
drought @ - = -'e@ t.'.'<
