Clinton, July 11.-Puffing and blow
ing and emitting clouds of black
smoke, while she churned the muddy
waters into foam with her wheel, the
government steamer, Percy Swain. of
the port of La Crosse. forged slowly
northward against the current with a
big fleet Of house boats, barges and
floats at noon Thursday. The boat
was on it's way to point few miles
up the river where government work
Is in progress. The fleet has been sta
toned below LeClaire.
The outfit consisted OF four large
Households, two stories in height; six
barges and our floats. Some trouble
was experienced by the SWANS pilot
In getting the. unwieldly tow through
the Clinton draw, a fresh breeze blow
ing from the southeast forcing it
against the pier. The boat got
thru. however, and continued on UP the
river at snail's pace.
Nearly a hundred men, women and
children were on board the tow. main
~ workmen who are in the employ of
the government contractors on river
Other signs OF animal
life were apparent. On one OF the
big barges two jersey cows were tied.
and a few cats and dogs were to be
seen, as even the floating cities have
their proportion of these family pets,
which are both useful and ornamental.
The COWS, OF course, furnish dairy
products fer the crew. It is not al
ways easy to procure these articles up
on the islands and along lonely stretch
es OF the river and cows are usual
~ to be found in these water camps.
The men lounged about the barges,
and the women. busy preparing the
MONDAY meal, paused in their work
to get look at the city's river front.
The floats which accompanied the
fleet up the river are used in the con-
struction of rip-rapping. They are fit
ted with steel tracks. which incline
toward the water. much after the fash
ioff of those used in launching
boats. Bunches of willows are placed
upon them weighted down with heavy
stones, which take them to the bottom
when they slide off the floats into the
water.
Two other fleets of about the same
have been taken north
since the river opened this year.
Evidently the government is doing
a great amount of work on the channel

Corn is, Popular.
oscEoLA COUNTY CROP OUTLOOK
Prospects Much Brighter Than at This
Time Last Year.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Sibley, July 11.-While the crops In
this part of the state are not up to the
best crop seasons, with favorable
weather for the balance of the season
the greater part of the corn crop will
mature in good shape. 1t is estimated
that the corn is from ten days to two
weeks behind what it should be, altho
the situation is far better than last
year at this time. A great variation
can be noticed in the corn crop, the
western portion of the county. on the
most rolling land, being much in ad-
vance of where the ground is low or
fiat. Small grain is doing fine and
there seems no question now but that
an abundance of good small grains will
this year be harvested by the farmers.
There is large acreage of oats in the
county. The wheat acreage will be very
small. The hay crop will be excellent.

CROP PROSPECTS
Statistics Gathered at Sioux City In
dicate the Outlook For an Unusually
Big Yield Of Corn ia Very Promising
in the Northwest.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, July 11.-Careful reports
from thirty seven correspondents OF
The Tribune in thirty-two counties OF
northwestern Iowa, the southern half
of South Dakota and northeastern Me-
braska predict an unusually large yield
of small grain this year and tell OF the
beginning of corn crop, above the
average. The territory represented al
these reports extends from Ft. Dodge,
Iowa, ON the east, to Osmond. Neb.,
on the west, and Huron. S. D. on the
north.
With scarcely a single exception, the
correspondents agree that prospects are
most favorable for II rich harvest of
small grain. Plenty OF moisture from
the first of the season, has resulted N
luxuriant growth and the formation
of long heads which, owing to the ABB
sence of rust and insect pests, promise
to be filled with grain Of the first quail
ity.
Some rust is reported from limited
area in Nebraska, sand possibly little
in South Dakota. This Is a remarkably
good showing, forsrust HAS been COM
mon malady in the grain fields Of this
section. Lodging has been prevented
by excellent stooling and only a few
days of hot weather are required TO
round out one of the biggest crops OF
small grain this vicinity has known.
Corn Yield Conditional.
good yield of corn this fall is con-
ditioned upon favorable weather. this
month. In nearly every locality in
Iowa and Nebraska, and in a number
OF counties in South Dakota, corn IS
from one to three weeks late. However,
the stand is generally reported as good,
and the plant is healthy and only hot
weather is required to put the pros
poets at or above par.
In number of counties the farmers
have not been able to cultivate their
corn fields enough to keep down the
weeds. However, in nine counties out
of ten, the fields will be clean within
fortnight or less II the weather is
favorable.
Reports as to the acreage Of the var
ious crops show that corn continues
to increase in popularity In only two
counties of the thirty-seyen represent
ed in this report is there a decrease ii
the acreage of corn. This is in Web
ster county, Iowa, and Lincoln county.
South Dakota, where 1t is stated there
is falling off Of about 10 per cent in
the amount of ground planted with
corn. In Sac, Harrison and Sioux
counties, the acreage is about the same
as last year. In Plymouth, O'Brien,
Monona, Osceola, and Ida counties m
creases ranging from 10 to % per cent
are reported.
Corn is Popular.
In South Dakota the. acreage Of corn
is reported the same as last year IN
Beadle, Union, McCook, and Turner
counties Increases ranging from 5
to % per cent are reported in Hyde,
Gregory, Clay. Brule, Minnehaha. Min
er, Dawson. Douglas, Yankton, Hanson
and McCook counties. In Nebraska,
Stanton and Pierce counties have the
same acreage of corn as last year, ana
Thurston, Burt, Dixon, Dakota and

ing from 10 to % per cent.

OF two divisions, as reported, but more
likely the force was composed OF two
