 elder Gould.'
 George Gould never speculates personal ly on Wall Street. as 1t was necessary for Jay Gould to do fin order to protect his property by some great coup on the Stock Exchange. The sons interests rest on a much frmcr foundation than the elders. and he has a much larger circle of rich associates to rally to his aid Tn time of hurres on the street. What ever business fig necessary to be done on the stock market is performed by brokers. Although surrounded by many old md trusted employees George Gould works harder than any of them, and the long hours of his youthful clerical days are still continued He reaches the office promptly at 10 each morning. About o'clock his luncheon is brought 10 him and is eaten in the office. The luncheon is always modest. Frequently it is ordered from the unpretentious restaurant in the Western Union building patronized by the emp.oyes.
 While Jay Gould was fitting his son to fill his place ir the business world he took care to educate him in all the branches that would be useful to him in after years. While he did not want him to be speculator ii was necessary for him to obtain thorough knowledge of the ways of the Street. For many yenrs Jay Gould had been partner in the brokerage husreHs with Washington F. Connor. In 1885 Jay Gould withdrew from this partnership, and George Gould took his place. There he remained un- til he became conveysant with the ins ard outs or the Street and the Exchange. under the tutelage of the master broker of the metropolis.
 And all this training in youth prepared him to hll the place that his father had filled. When the full responsibility | came to him he showed himself not only able to do what his father had done be-

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

The week opened cool, but the tenn
peratures rose slowly all the week.
There was hardly any rain during the
week, except in the extreme South
west, till the scattered showers of the
morning of the '2Sth, and the more gen
eral showers of the morning of the Goth,
which latter seem to have been heav-
lest in the middle South and the mid
die West; in the dry regions the rains
will afford only momentary relief.
From the counties of the Minnesota
valley northward the oats, barley,
flax, corn and grass on spring plowed
land and on sandy soil are injured by
the drought, or they are in danger of
injury, but on the fall plowed land and
on clay soils these crops are in good
condition to stand the dry weather,
though they are not progressing much;
on all fields the surface is very dry,
but on the latter soils it is moist below
the surface. In the poor places wheat
only six inches high is shooting to
head, and late sown barley and fax
are unsprouted. Grass and pastures
are poor.
In the Minnesota valley and south
ward there is plenty of moisture in the
uplands, and in the southwest, corner
of the state the lowlands are wet; in
the middle South and Southeast, the
lowlands need rain to soften the hard
surface soil On the uplands the small
grains and grasses are doing well, but
low land crops are gene ally poor.
There is some rust on the wheat and
oats in the middle Minnesota valley,
but the dry weather has checked it, and
also the rank growth of those grains.
Barley is generally heading well, and
oats are coming into head. Clover and
timothy hay is being saved. Rye is
ripening.

ter conditions this year we're perfect
for the big regatta and the largest
crowd that has ever witnessed the
event looked on. The varsity crew of
Cornell evidently outclassed all the
others, as they finished the course of
four miles six lengths ahead of the

out the men from Wisconsin and
finished second by short margin,
with Pennsylvania, syracuse and Co

the freshman race Cornell broke the
record of 9:19h for the two miles,
made by Yale in 1897, going the route
in 9:18. Syracuse and Wisconsin
finished second and third respectively,
with Columbia fourth and Pennsyl-

Inspectors of the state dairy and
food department returned from in
pection tours in different parts of the
state.
According to E. K. Slater, of the in
spection in the southern part of the
state, the reputation of Minnesota
butter is seriously threatened by
conditions there. Mr.. Slater says that
the introduction of hand separators
and the lax methods of caring for
cream are making the quality of but
ter there lower every month.
In the central part of the state con-
ditions are all that could be desired.
Inspector B. d. White, who returned
from an extensive trip all through
that section, said that butter is inn
proving every week in counties
through which he has been and that
the finest quality of butter in the
world is now being manufactured
there. AS long as the southern part
of the state, however, pulls against
this effort to boost butter, it will be
slow work for the dairy department
to reach desired results.
1t is believed, however, by the dairy
officials, that vigorous campaign in
the southern part of the state will ul-
timately result in far better condi-
tons there. The department has had
so much to do that it has been I'M

Insurance Commissioner E. H
Dearth was advised by Attorney Gen
eral w. B. Douglas that the new law
requiring fire insurance companies in
towns having fire departments to con-
tribute 2 per cent OF the premiums
collected to fremen's relief funds
does not apply to premiums collected
in 1902. This will save the companies
doing business in Minnesota nearly
$4,000.
The total premiums received in
towns having fire departments in 1902
was $4,267 ,3O7.27. The apportionment
for firemen's pensions on this amount
under the old law amounts to $45,-
449.12. If the new law applied, the
apportionment would amount to $685.
346.15.
The premiums received in st. Paul
were 773,463.63, on which the appor-
tionment under the old law aggre-
gates $S,217.S1.

and the form shown by Miss Anthony
are of especial interest because they
indicate that the west will have a
formidable candidate this year for the
national woman's championship, held
in the fall. Western players have in
the past annexed their fair share Of
the championship honors, as the sue
cesses of the professionals FOULS,
Herd, w. Smith and Auchterlonie in
the open event, and of amateurs Mac
Donald, Whigham and James in the
amateur event testify. So far as the
scroll of honor in the women's cham
pionship is concerned, however, there
has been distressing vacancy as far
as western names are concerned. If
there is any one player west of the AL
legheny mountains capable of upset
ting the line of successes of the east
ern players it is Miss Anthony, and on
her the hopes of the west will to a
large extent center when the women
experts meet on the links of the Chi
cago Golf club at Wheaton. The play
at the recent tournament showed good
form and improvement in at least
two other players, Miss Carpenter and
Mrs. W. A Alexander. This year the
eastern representatives will be playing

westerners have had to face for sever

chances are very bright for western
