Six Million Dollars Represents the Amount
Of Money Taken From the Soil in
Ramsey County This Year.
Which Means $500 For Each Man. Woman
and Child in the County ramsey, the
Banner County in the Union.

The unprecedented wealth Of
Ramsey county is becoming
more apparent to the thinking
man when the actual wealth Of
the county is presented. Facts
make the strongest arguments,
and facts prove that this county
has the greatest income per
capita Of any icultural county
iii The world, reaching this year.
the enormous sum of $500 for
every man woman and child in.
the coint y. The figures given,
below were taken from the re-
cords in the Office Of the county
auditor, and the grain acreage
is made up from the reports
made to him by the township as
SCISSORS last spring, and is
therefore solutely correct.
Based upon the actual acreage
and estimating the average yield
Of Is bushels for wheat at ST. per
bushel, the actual value of the
crop would be so, 454. 800. From
the same figures, the oats on a
yield Of 40 bushels at rs cents
per bushel would be $375 40,
Barley on an average OF 25 bu-
shells at Is cents would be SILL
594. Flax on an average of Is
|bushels ait $l.0 would be $780,

including men, women and
chill dren, and a simple arithmeti-
cal process would show that the
actual income for each of these
is $500. These figures would
seem unre asona able were they not
based on facts. "a prominent
farmer, who has studied the
crop situation in this county for.
years, and who is a conservative
estimator, gives as his opinion
that the value of the crop in this
county. this year will equal the
assessed valuation Of the real
and personal property. This is
#$$44 SOB, 600, and this estimate is
probably nearer right than the
one given above, asthe minimum
in estimates based 5on the figures
in the auditors office is taken.
These being true, it is easy to
Hsee that Ramsey county is abso-
lutely without parallel as a
wealth producer from the soil.
The crops this year in hundreds
of instances yielded the owners
|ef the land more than they ask
led for the land last spring. Nor
does this mean an unparalleled
increase in the land values in the
county With all the Wealth-pro-
|ducing power of the soil, the land
values are only at this time maxi
ing a steady advance. But it is
| also true that a few years more
Of such enormous incomes must
attract the attention Of thinking
people to the advantages to be
derived from the soil. and the
land will be taken up, and as
thisis done, the market value
must increase until it will be
several fold greater than at pres
ent. Such opportunities for
making fortunes by The: man of
small means, cannot last forever.

ROCK ISLAND TO BUILD.
May Construct Two New Lines in low
the Present Year.

Iio FTSSGstk
Chicago June 29.-The Rock Island
is said to have decided upon the con-
struction of two new lines in Iowa, one
to be laid next year and the other built
in the event of the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge going TO some other interest.
The first extension Is to run from
Laurens. thru Curlew, and will give the
old Burlington. Cedar Rapids & North
ern. now a part of the Rock Island
system, direct connection with the
main line of the road thru southern
Iowa and western points. II the Rock
Island holds the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge the line will be built from Cur
lew to Emmetsburg only. distance of
about twenty-five miles.
This connection will prevent routing
goods from Des Moines over the Rock
Island and Milwaukee & ST. Paul. re-
ducing freight rates by eliminating the
joint tariff.
The plan for the other line Is to
build from Valley Junction to Gowrie.
The road is to Insect the angle formed
by the Des Moines & Fort Dodge and
the Newton & Northwestern, and will
be about sixty-two miles long. ]. J.
Hill Is said to be trying to wrest the
Des Mones & Fort Dodge from the
Rock Island, and the latter by building
the new lines will not suffer If Mr.. Hill
secures that road.

! Chicago, June 29.-Cattle For the
! first time this week the run was on
| n liberal scale, $4,000 bringing the
receipts of the first half week up to
time last week. OF course prices on
lower trades only moderately animated
the sales. showing an average decline
of 100l5, strictly prime beeves ex-
cepted.
The market for butcher stock rul-
ed steady but trade is not in shape to
handle very big run of this class.
and should heavy receipts materalize
during the latter days of the week
lower prices will likely rule say
traders. The fact is that not many
cattle of any kind are wanted and a
big supply would no doubt bring about
a disastrous decline. A few days of
light receipts should tone up the trade,
however, and shippers ought to act
on this plan.
The stocker and feeder market is
sticking to the same old rut. There is
no urgent demand for any class and
the volume of the daily business has
dropped down to moderate proportions.
The strongest demand--if there is any
place where this term can be applied
is for the steers Of good quality and
breeding. The market is rather over
burdened with the common and med
ium grades. which have been slipping
down gradually. while the good kinds
have about held their own Country
buyers do not want the common cat
tle even at cheap rates. and for the
past month all the ordinary stock cat
tie have been hard to sell.
Hogs.
The receipts this week were &c.
500 as against $4,000 for the same
period last week There was a slower
demand and prices averaged 10 lower
than yesterdays best time. Bulk ii
sales 5.15@5.25.
Quality of hogs was pretty good,
though not up to the standard of Mon
day.
Sheep.
Only 1900 have been marketed dur
ing the week, as against 64.l0o for the
same time last week. Owing to small
receipts today there was Il fairly ac-
tive demand at firmer prices.

poses fifty cigars equal that many Gig

make il Il personal matter with the in

little and offers To pay the duty on all
over fifty and take them ALL. There
he strikes a new cause of rage. The
smallest number of cigars that can be
imported is three thousand. All under
that and over fifty are seized. The in
spector endeayors to explain that he
did not make the law. and is re-

and mad with a desire for vengeance.

he had smoked fifteen. There We're

examined his baggage told him he could

They are seized for the govern

Thereupon it was evident to the man
that the outrage was for the benefit as

sneered.

inspector.
We'll. you won't smoke these off

break them up.

mustn't do that
Why not?" demanded the man,
They are my cigars
No, they are not" replied the In
spector they belong to the govern
ment."
No words would fit the situation, and
the man went away. A little later he
