In Amount Marketed During
August, as Compared With the
Same Month Year Ago.
OATS ARE Up TO THE AVERAGE
All Other Grains Will be a Good Crop
According 10 the Washington
Report-No Disease Epidemic
Amcng Live Stock

The weather during August was very
favorable for growing crops. During
the major portion of the month the
temperature was several degrees above
the average, the departure for the State.
according to the State Weather Bureau,
being is degrees above the normal
The departure for the state was 0 "a of
an inch above the normal. Corn. beans.
potatoes and sugar beets made rapid
growth and regained much that was
lost earlier in the season. Ii was too
wet TO secure oats in the best condition
but other than this no serious damage
was done
In some localities wheat is not WELD
ing as we'll as expected. White wheat
especially is poor in quality being light
in weight, while the condition of red
wheat is fair The average estimated
yield per acre is. in the state. southern
and central counties ~ and in the north
ern counties / bushels. The quality as
compared with an average is, in the state
and southern counties 81, in the central
counties ~ and in the northern counties
81. The per cent of wheat Of the crC,j
of 1904 still in farmers hands is, ip the
state, southern. central and northern
counties 3.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in August
at the Touring mills is 206, 6,5l9. and at
the elevators 2l3, ,2s6, or a total of 4l9, sos
bushels, which is 270,S bushels more
than reported marketed in the same
month last year. OF this whole amount
30S, ,503 bushels were marketed in the
southern four tiers of counties, l01 796
bushels in the central counties and 3, ,5O6
bushels in the northern counties At 2S
mills and elevators from which reports
have been received there was no wheat
marketed in August.
In spite of the fact that there has
been much unfavorable weather this
year for oats the yield will be mp to the
average. Harvesting was difficult on
account of the straw being lodged and
wet weather prevented the crop from
being secured in good condition in all
cases. The estimated average yield per
acre in bushels is, i'm the southern
counties 80. in the central counties "a.
in the northern counties 80 and in the
state 30. The quality as compared with
an average is, in the state %.
The estimated average yield per acre
in bushels is, in the state, southern and
central counties 10 and in the northern
counties rs.
The weather during August was very
favorable for corn. Ii not only cared
well but began to ripen so that some of
it is already out of the way of frost.
This applies to the crop where planted
on high or well drained land. There is
some corn that will be valued for fodder
only, owing to the unfavorable condi-
tions that have existed in some localities.

FAMOUS lNNES BAND AT
OPERA HOUSE TOMORROW.

The principal vocal soloist who is
appearing with Innes and his band or
the present tour at the Opera House to-
morrow, April 81, is Nine. Emma Part
ridge, known as the most sensational
soprano this country has ever produc-
ed. Nine. Partridge was with the band
last year and her every appearance
was a triumphal ovation.
Nine. Partridge is a native of Mil
waukee, but early in her career, the
celebrated Nine. Milton of Paris heard
her sing, at once took her to the French
capital and developed her remarkable
talent. Within three months she was
singing in consorvatories. Her most
recent tremendous successes in opera,
especially in Lucia Faust and
more particularly "Parsifal'-she is
the greatest Kundry living today-are
matters of general knowledge. She
has a soprano voice of great power and
range, yet of peculiar sweetness, a
most charming personality, great beau
ty and all the attributes of the leading
prima donna of the day. Different pro-
gram at each performance. Seats now
on sale at Laramie Drug store. Per-
Torrance both afternoon and evening.

rotary Symons gave notice that he
would withdraw his proposed am nd

ing to the retirement of stock, and this
led to the usual animated but good
naturod tilt between Messrs. Symons
and Crumrine, each insisting that he
had made the other look like a can
celled canal zone stamp. Only seven
shares of stock were offered one bring,
ing 81 per cent premium and the other
six going at 1919 per cent, the largest
price paid in some time. A former bid

Strong Ore Will Be Hauled.

State Geologist Ii. c. Beeier of Chey-
enne and J. II. Morrison of Colorado
Springs, who went TO Butte from Chey-
enne a few days ago to study the smell
ter situation there, will erect a con-
centrator at Silver Crown, in Laramie

the copper ores from that mine. The
concentration at Silver Crown is a small
affair in itself, If it stops there, but it
is taken to mean the entering wedge

ositions not only in Laramie county,
but in Albany county as well, Iarticu-
larry the Strong, on Horse creek, which
is only sixteen miles away from the
site OF the proposed concentration and
whose ores are to be given a thorough

The erection of the plant at Silver
Crown will be the beginning, it is hop
ed, of a series OF such plants, to treat
the ore to be found in the hills east
of this city. The ores at Silver Crown
are said to be quite similar to those
more flaky, the Strong ores being gran
uldr and better ores for a test OF the
value than those from the mines where
the proposed plant is to be erected.
The managers Of the Strong mine
are quite well pleased at the present
turn. OF affairs. They are already in
consultation with Mr.. Beeler, the state
S%eologist and consulting engineer of
the Silver Crown properties, and will
give him and his associates opportun-
ity to fully demonstrate the value of
their ores, good or bad. The distance
is only sixteen miles, over fairly good
roads, and full working tests will be
made of the ore. 1t is positively ar,
serted that the plant will be erected
at the Silver Crown site, as sufficient
money is said to have been set aside
for the purpose.
