PROSPERITY IN GOOD CROPS.

If there should be any wheat short
age in 1904 this would not mean that
the farmers would be the losers. Often
a small crop brings as much as a large
one to the producers. While the &c.
O00,00O-bushel wheat yield Of 1902
bought $422,o0O,o0o to the farmer,
based on the average value on the
farm on December 1st of that year, as
estimated by the department of agri-
culture, the 637,0OO,0OO crop of 1903
brought $44s,O00,000. The higher prices
more than made up for the shortage
in the yield. 1t may be the same this
year should there be a heavy falling
of from last years crop. The loss in
crop failures commonly, though not
always, falls on the consumer.
A large grain yield is always good
Tor the country as whole. While 1t
means moderate prices for the farmer.
1t means heavy saving to the con-
s1mer The farmer loses nothing by a
big crop and the rest Of the country
save something by it. Big crops mean
general prosperity. The indications
thus far are that cotton and corn, each
OF which brings more money in the
aggregate than does wheat, will be the
largest on record but several weeks
more must pass before corn is out Of
hanger and fnal estimates as to yield
can be made. Notwithstanding the
ravagas Of the weevil IN 3reras, there
are REASONS to believe yet that the

crop of 1904 will reach 100000
bales, which will be a little higher
than the largest previous total. The
value of the corn crop of 1903, based
on average prices on the farm on
December 1st, was $952,00O,00O, or

INTEREST IN IRRIGATION.

Grand Forks Herald Sees the Advan.
tage to be Derived from Irrigation
in the State.
Grand Forks Herald: The city of
Grand Forks has never taken in the
past any great interest in irrigation
projects. The city's interests were
during the early years confined almost
altogether to the eastern part of North
| Dakota, and Of northwestern Mime
sofa. Reaching out as the city is now
in its business relations with even
the extreme western part of the state.
it's commercial future will impel the
city to take some interest in the pro-
posed irrigation work undertaken by
the government. There Is little cues
ton but that successful irrigation of
large tracts of land in what is known
as the semi-arid belt extending across
the eastern part of Montana and a
small fraction of this state would add
untold wealth to district of large
area which is now of comparatively
little value. The national treasury
now holds to the credit of the irriga-
ton fund for North Dakota several
million dollars, which can only be ex-
pended in the construction of irriga-
ton works within this state. This
fund is growing at the rate of mil
lion dollars annually. It is thus no
question of the want of unds for carry.
ing out irrigation work. but a question
OF the feasibility Of such enterprises.
The government has no warrant for
! squandering the peoples money, but
the vast benefits received by other
sections OF the west through irrigation
projects, and indeed wherever irriga.
ton has been utilized, is some assur-
ance that great benefits may come
from the improvement of the lands in
the western part of this state. It is
well known that the settlement of the
large area west of Minot, for instance.
has been retarded because of the i'm.
preston, whether entirely we'll found.
ed or not, that the rainfall is deficient
for agricultural pursuits. There is lit.
| tie question but that If ample water
can be provided for growing crops the
value Of the land in that section will
be Increased many fold. The govern
ment has a CORPS of engineers making
preliminary surveys and studying the
feasibility Of irrigating these sections.
1t is more than possible that ways will
be found by which large areas in that
section may be irrigated with reason
able expenditure of money. Prof.
Chandler, the state irrigation engi-
neer, is devoting his time to the in.
vestigation OF. the feasibility of irriga-
ton projects along the Yellowstone
and other streams by methods which
are in use elsewhere, and the results
Of his investigations as well az that

5URLEIeH COUNTY SCHOOLS.

County Superintendent Evarts Reports
On the Progress Of Schools in Bur-
leigh County.
In recent report to State Supt.
Stockwell of educational work in
Burleigh county, Superintendent
Evarts says:
There is a steady growth in all
directions. We now have forty dis
tricts with sixty schools in place of
forty-six as two years ago. Almost
without exception, free text books are
in all the schools. A number of new
school houses have been built, others
have been repaired; while many have
sought to beautify their surroundings
by planting trees. Lincoln district
last year won the second prize in q
contest open to the entire state for
best appearing school grounds. There
are now over two hundred trees set
out in this school yard Some new
libraries and organs have been pur-
chased, many Of the teachers having
given entertainments to help the good
work along. Travelling libaries have
been placed in several districts. A
few school gardens were started this
year in which the children take much
interest. Our teachers are bright and
enthusiastic and in many cases are
receiving better salaries. At least
five of them will enter normal school
this fall. The course of study is being
faithfully followed which means a
more thorough classification of pu-
pills and consequently better work.
A County Teachers Association has
been organized and meetings held
every month since that time with the
exception of July and August. We
shall resume our work in September.
The attendance is good and the teach
ers are loyal and helpful Supt.
Stockweu and Supt. Taylor have been
present at some of the meetings and
have aided us by their earnest, help
full talks as we'll as by their presence.
Sixteen teachers have taken the
reading circle work this year. The
interest in this work is increasing
and l feel very sure that we shall have
a much larger enrolment next year.
A two weeks summer school was
held at Bismarck this year with an
enrolment of ffty-four. The school
was conducted by Prof w. E. Hoover
of Park River and Miss Adelaide
Kibby Of Stanley Hall, Minneapolis.
Last year Kidder, Mclean, Emmons
and Burleigh counties held a Joint
summer school at Bismarck which
lasted three weeks. Enrolment. 100.
The instructors were Lewis Crawford,
Miss Davies, Miss Elizabeth Morrison.
Miss Roberta Morrison and Miss Van
Eman.
A school officers meeting was held
In March, 1903, and another In June,
1904. Both meetings were largely at
tended and much good work DONE"

These bridges are on the mountain

Japanese Lose q
Cruiser and
Forty Men.

TOXIC, Dec. 1o.-The Japanese cruis-
er Saiyen struck a mine and sank on
November 80. The majority of her crew
were rescued. The Navy Department
has issued the following announce
ment:
"A detached squadron, with the Sal
yen as the flagship, while cooperating
with the army in bombarding the en-
emy at Port Arthur was al the same
time engaged in blockading in force.
The Saiyen struck mine of the enemy
on November 80 and was soon en-
veloped in smoke. The gun vessel Aka
81, which was engaged in shelling the
enemy, Immediately stopped work and
came to the rescue of the sinking
cruiser. Finding that the Saiyen was
making water rapidly the Akagi an
chored near her and, cooperating with
other comrade ships and launches, sue
ceeded in rescuing fifteen officers and
175 men, but Captain Tajlma and thir-
ty-eight others went down with the
ship.
THE Saiven, commanding the de-
tached squadron, was often exposed to
dangers, yet often effected distin-
guished services. 1t is highly regretta-
BILE that such ship should have met
with such a great misfortune"
The Saiyen. formerly called the Tsi-
yuen, was launched at Stettin, Prussia,
in 1888. Her displacement was 2264 tons
and she had an indicated horsepower OF
2SOO. Her speed was fourteen knots.

There is now living at Nish. Servia, a

Lord Byron. His name is Stovan Xix

probably the oldest man living to-day,
he is wonderfully vigorous, with clear
memory, good eyesight. and strong.
hearty voice. He had much to say of
his adventures in fighting against the
Turks in his earlier years. He took
part in the war which gave the Greeks
their freedom, and he recalls Lord By
ron as "a young. curly-headed English
man much loved by the Greeks, whose
death. occurring during the insurrec-
tiOn. they mourned deeply" Lord By

FEAR CITADEL WILL FALL.
French Arc Losing Faith in Port Ar
thurs Impregnability.

PARIS, Dec. 10.-The Port Arthur
crisis is shaking the faith of French
military critics, who heretofore have
been positive that the fortress is inn
pregnable. There is an inner line of
defenses, they claim, whereas the Brit
ish critics deny that any inner line
exists.
There is reason to believe that the
French view is based on the recent
personal observations of Lieutenant de
Cuverville, the French naval attache
at Port Arthur, who mysteriously dis
appeared. Prior to his disappearance
he gave the headquarters staff elab-
crate reports, leading to the belief
that the fortress was capable of fur
ther lengthy endurance.
A leading naval authority expresses
the belief that the Japanese, after de-
feating the Russian second Pacific
SQUADRON, will send a japanese squad
ron to European waters over the route
that Admiral Rojestvensky's squad
ron has Travelled. He points out that
the coaling of the vessels of the Pacific
squadron at Dakar, Jibutil and French
ports has established a precedent,
which in turn will be an expected ad-
vantage to the Japanese. as the latter's
squadron, coming to Europe, will be
in a position to ask for coal at the
same ports now supplying the Rus
slams.
