WITH this issue the Enterprise
commences its twelfth volume, un-
der the continuous management of
the present owner. We believe the
patrons of the local press are we'll
satisfied with our publication, and
we can assure them that we are
equally satisfied with the patronage
and support extended. Many
things have changed since our adj
vent into Virginia, which eleven
years ago was struggling COM
munity of frame buildings put up
in the late autumn and winter, but
which were all put up for a purpose
as we found when we attempted to
lease room for our plant and were
compelled to take a corner cut off
from a gambling room in the rear
OF saloon or start our press on
street corner with the therm ometer
varying from 20 to 60 below, while
awaiting the erection of building.
Twice since has the city been flame
swept, and after each confla grafton
has better grade of business
blocks taken the places made va
cant by the destructive elements,
and today we have city that is the
pride of the Minnesota ranges and
wonder. to the casual visitor.
Through these changes the Enter

our endeavors to keep pace with
the times in the improvement of

ing business which we shall strive
to merit and retain.

The Damaged Wheat Crop.
[springfield Republican,

The private statisticians of the grain
trade are figuring out a wheat crop OF
little more than 500 900, 900 bushels. One
Of them places the average condition Of
the whole crop at not over 20, or the
lowest ever known; and this, on the basis
of the governments report of acreage,
would make the yield about the figure
given above. Another authority places
the total crop at 504. 100000 bushels, and
only about 400, 900, 600 bushels of good
milling wheat. More conservative au-
thorities like the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent, estimate $50, 900, 900 bushels or bet
ter But the grain trade at the moment
is disposed to accept the lower estimates
If these are right the wheat harvest
OF the country has met with one of the
worst disasters ever experienced. A yield
OF only 500 900. 900 bushels would be near
ly 25O, 100000 bushels, or SO per cent I'M
der the banner crop of 74S 500, 900 bush
els In 1901, and 1t would be III, 900 900
bushels under the average yield of the
past half-dozen years. At the recent rate
OF per capita wheat consumption in the
United States, such crop would leave
Tor export the smallest absolute amount
known In 20 years. and the smallest
amount relative to total production
known in 80 years or more. Wheat ex-
ports for some months have shrunk to
the smallest figures in about two decades
and they do not increase as the new
wheat comes into market
During the past 25 years there have
been only two or three which are at all
comparable with the present as respects
a snort wheat crop. The first was 1898
when the crop amounted to 500. 900 900
bushels, as compared with sic, 900 900 in
the previous year, Gil, 7S0 900 in 1891, and
an average for the period of about $780,
100000. The second was 1885. when the
harvest fell to 357, 112 900 bushels from an
average for the period of about 45O, O0O. 900
bushels. But in neither of these cases
was the shortage so great relative to the
needs or our own people as in the pres
ent instance. From the crop of 1885 some
S4.5OO,OOO bushels were exported; and
from that of 1898 over 1874, 900, 900 BUSH
els We're exported. 1t is doubtful If we
shall be able to export much over 50,-
100000 bushels from the present crop.
Thus not before since wheat became a
large feature of our export trade has the
country been brought so near to a wheat
production which barely suffices for home
consumption. 1t is a fact, which, for the
time being, must profoundly affect our
exterior commerce; and, through the in
creased cost of living, cannot have a
helpful influence on home trade.

Series Of Burglarles Ended In Capture Of
One Marauder.

The village has been greatly disturbed
over series of burglaries perpetrated
during the last month Monday night
one of the alleged marauders was round
ed up, and is now quietly resting in New
fame Jail.
Some three weeks ago the mill of Whip
pie & Thompson was broken into and
some tools taken. short time ago c..
w. Osgoods jewelry store was entered,
and razor and several rings taken.
Monday night I. A. Farr's meat market
was entered, but nothing of value was
taken.
The office of w. c. Hadley e. Co., deal
ers in harness, carriages, etc, was also
/ entered, and it was there the burglar
came to grief. He was noticed by Mrs.
George Bailey, who lives near by, and
Mr. Bailey and W. W. Cory succeeded in
capturing him. Several tools were found
on his person, and also razor, which is
| thought to have come from G. w. Os-
goods store. The burglar had apparently
been looking for money, but did not sue
coed in finding any.
Deputy Sheriff b. NJ. Walker was sum-
moned, and the burglar, who gave his
name as Murray Bell, was arraigned be-
fore Justice Y. II. Allbee. He was bound
over to the county court in the sum OF
$3.50, and being unable to furnish bail

New England kurn Hattln Homes.

New England kurn Hattn Homes.
The annual field day of the Kurn Hattin
Homes has previously been held in June
in connection with the annual business
meeting of the association. For several
reasons September has been selected as
more suitable time, when the crops are
looking their best, and the Sth of the
month was chosen. The increased at
tendance warranted the change, as there
were fully twice as many people present as
on any former similar occasion. Twenty
villages, towns and cities and eight states
were represented by those who register
ed in the visitors book and there were a
number who failed to record their names.
Many of the visitors came in their own
teams and others were met at Walpole,
Westminster and CIRCUITS by teams from
the Homes.
Work performed by the boys was on
exhibition in one of the reading rooms.
Laundry work, bread and basketry were
shown and they created much interest
| The latter was the result Of several les
sons given last spring by Miss Mary e.
Slason, a former Brattleboro teacher, and
| it will form n useful occupation for the
boys during the coming winter evenings
| At half past two program was given
| which consisted of songs and Rotations
| by the boys from both homes. Mr. Van
! Patten. the president, made a short ad-
| dress of welcome, mentioning this as the
| tenth anniversary OF the starting OF the
institution The selections by the Kurn
Hattin band gave great pleasure.
Superintendent Bishop read an extend
ed report In speaking of the farm he
| said I'VE have now 32 head of stock,
4 horses, 16 hogs, and about $50 hens and
chickens. We are selling an average OF
1000 pounds of cream monthly to the
creamery, and are supplying the homes
with all the milk, eggs, poultry, pota-
toes beans and other vegetables needed
which helps considerably toward the ex.
