Utah Railway Extension.

Salt Lake, July 2O.-The Tribune
says: The Rio Grande Western will
at once ask for bids on construction of
about seventy-fve miles Of road from
Marysvaie to Cedar City, Utah. The
final survey, even to cross sectioning.
has been done. and as soon as the con-
tract is awarded the work of construc-
tion is to commence.
This means the penetration OF the
Rio Grande into the iron and coal de-
posits of Iron county, plan it has had
in mind for twenty years and more.
But recent developments have proved
beyond any question that the company
is eager to get into the region. not
for the coal. as it has an ample supply
OF fuel but solely for the iron and this
fact fits in very nicely with the plans
for the purchase of the Salt Lake cop
per plant, built about twelve years
ago. but which has never been
operated.
This. it is now stated. is to be con-
verted into steel mill. the reported
purchasers being the Utah Fuel Com
pany. In connection with the fight for
new territory now on between the va
rious transcontnental lines. the u p-
une states that within year eTtry
small line in the state will be owned
by one or the other Of the big systems
of Utah.

lion for the meeting of the grand lodge
and the reunion of the Elks reported
over $4,000 last night, while all the
railways were bringing in special

the public landing of this city. Two
large steamers were chartered The
one used for members of the grand

hers of the press and others carried
about 1000.

that over 100000 people witnessed the
scenes along both banks of the Ohio
river, after which various entertain
nents were given.

Foreign Crop Reports.

The Department of Agriculture, in its
foreign crop report, issued to-day,
gives the following:
Russia-Winter rye up to the aver
age, winter wheat below average;
spring wheat, which forms the large.
part of the Russian wheat crop. report
ed in good condition; barley and oats.
average.
Germany-Crops show some deter
ioration since the middle of May, eX
cept winter spelt. lucerne and pota-
toes. The deterioration in winter wheat
was very slight.
Austria-Clops have suffered greatly
from heat and drouth,
Hungary-Wheat yield likely to be
less than that of 1903 by 1896 ,565
bushels. or about twenty three per
cent. The rye crop is less seriously at
fected. the prospective deficiency being
only 4,S4S,96l bushels. or less than ten
per cent. The estimated deficiency in
barley is twenty-four per cent, and
oats twentynine per cent.
Roumania-The prolonged drouth
has had serious effects on Roumanian
crops.
Bulgaria-Crops mainly favorable,
but suffered somewhat from drouth.
Servia-Crop prospects improved by
an abundant rain.
Turkey Crops suffered severely
from drouth.
Greece-Wheat and barley excellent.
Italy-Rain has benefited all crops.
France-Wheat crop of 1904 likely to
, exceed the large crop of 1903, though
hailstorms have occasioned some anX-
. iety.
Spain-Rain and hail storms have
caused serious damage much of the
country having suffered previously
from drOuth.
Belgium-Cereal crops very satisfac-
tory
Norway-Crops satisfactory.
| Denmark-Rain desired for nearly
all kinds of crops
etherlands-Spring crops sowed un-
der good conditions generally. but COM
plants of soil being too damp and that
oats and spring wheat stood thin on the
ground. Owing to the unsatisfactory
results of beet growing in the last two
years, the area under sugar beets is less
! than in 1903 or 1902.

Oat hay is perhaps the product least
known throughout this country and
most worthy of adoption into our farm
economy where alfalfa cannot be
grown The Divide people have some
wonderful stands of oats this season
and we hear similar stories from the
mountain districts. If cut before much
grain has formed the entire plant is
consumed with relish and auima S
thrive first-class when fed thereon.
There is no better hay for horses. Cows
are particularly fond of it. 1t is good
food for sheep and lambs. but the lat
ter will not care to eat the stems. II
cured without becoming wet it is of a
delightful green color. The yield OF
hay is considerable two tons to the
acre being not an unusual amount. In
California oat hay is harvested in great
quantities from lots and waste tracts Of
land especially for feeding work horses.

Tankton. S. D.. July l3.-The gigan-
sir land rush at Yankton develops into
almost stampede. Thirty-three thou
sand had registered mp to closing last
night. Yesterdays record was o.O55
and that will be exceeded to-day.
The fever for land seems to have ta-
ken possession of thousands who had
heretofore had no thought of coming
bere to register
The crush in the city and on trains
Is simply indescribable. Railroad OH
cials say they have more people than
they can possibly haul to Yankton.
Lines Of people were still two blocks
long at closing time last night. The
crowd was not SO large as the number
in the city last night. but the North
western. in a train OF three sections.

day will be unequalled.
Hundreds stayed up all night to be
early in line. and at least fifty men
procured baskets of food and went into
line last night.

oid.Time GAMBLING.

Some of the old stories told of the
gaming tables can hardly be believed
nowadays, though they are related in
such cool, matter-of-fact style by
writer's Of the time as to show that in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centur-
les the practice formed a part of high.
class social existence. Capt. Gronow
relates that, having been appointed
to the staff of Gen. Picton, who was
then starting for Brussels 1S15), he
obtained $1,000 from the army agents,
which" he continues, 81 took with
me to a gambling house in St. James,

wonderful accident, to win 5000"

Quently provided his necessary outfit
