TALKING OF TR0LLEYS
CITIZENS OF EXCELSIOR NOT
SURE ABOUT LETTING ELEC-
TRIO LINE PROMOTERS TAKE
LAKE FRONT. ."J

Citizens of, Excelsior have split into
factions over the advent of the street
railway company. The line will be
opened about Oct. 1. The company
has intimated that it will use a new
route next season in entering the vii
lage- The present route will be used
during the winter, and while the new
route is in process Of construction. The
company will build two bridges and
make a long fill at cost Of about $780,
900. ..a.-.-
The new line will pass south of the
Excelsior transmission house, cross Di-
vision street on a bridge, and then
make a straight run for the lake front,
also crossing Second street at an eleva-
tion. The line will then pass along the
lake front to Main street, up Main to
Second, where the plans show that a Y
will be constructed. H..
While the citizens of Excelsior favor
the new bridges they do not like the
idea of giving up such a strip of the
lake frontage to the company, and bust
ness men are somewhat 1ncensed over
the prospect Of having a Y constructed
on the main business street.
This line will give the company an
excellent opportunity Of carrying out

steamers to be run from Excelsior tc

CROP YEAR ENDS TODAY

Today the crop year of the north

west commerce run from Jan. to Jan.
1, but the movement of crops is fig
ured from Aug. 81. Several days must
elapse before the secretary's office OF
the Chamber of Commerce can give out
an exact statement covering every
thing, but already it is clear that in
apolis will run we'll ahead Of the year
preceding. To this morning the figures
total 8S,457 $40 bushels, compared with
85,139,1S0 for the full period last sea-
son-a gain Of 3,318,410, and with the
two days yet to be figured in, the ex-
cess should go to 3,65O,000.
G.. D. Rogers, secretary Of the cham
Der, says the outlook is for run of
wheat into Minneapolis in the COM
ing season that will put all previous
records to the rear, and that in the
matter of receipts Of grain of all kinds.
Minneapolis promises to run ahead OF
the former figures, which, for wheat,
corn, oats, barley, rye and fax, reached
the big total Of 134,OO0,O 900 bushels.
In the matter of wheat much will
depend, Colonel Rogers says, upon the
ability Of the Minneapolis mills to do
an export trade in flour. Given flour

the consumption of wheat in Minneap-
oils will Increase greatly and shipments
this way will be large and steady, !

ment engineers who have been on a
tour Of inspection. A conference Of the
place Sept. IL and Minneapolis will
put up strong case in favor Of re-
tanning and operating the reservoirs.
William de- la Barre engineer of the
st. Anthony Falls Waterpower COM
pany, presented strong arguments. The
reservoirs are Of inestimable value to
of water for manufacturers using water.
power. Without them the heavy spring
floods would destroy a vast amount of
property. This would be followed in
the dry season by a stage Of water
too low to be Of value. With the res
ervoirs floods can be reduced in a great
measure, and the water SO stored al.
lowed to run out later on to raise the
level Of the river. !.
The government is completing an
elaborate system Of locks and dams be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul, which
will make Minneapolis the head Of
river navigation. With the reservoirs
abandoned these expensive improve
| naents would be useless during a large
part Of the year, and boats could reach
the city only when the river was. higl

20O,000,000 BUSHELS
Tho Northwestern Miller Takese Issue
With Jones on the Crop. 3

H. V. Jones made some remraks with
regard to the Northwestern Miller's
crop estimates in his recent annual re.
port on the crops, which provoke be-
tween three and four columns of reply
from the current Northwestern Miller,
in which the Miller reviews, analyses
and, to its own, satisfaction, at least,
disposes Of Mr.: Jones, estimates: Mr.;
Jones estimated 166, 1000 900 bushels of
spring wheat, and added 8,00O,000 of
macaroni, making 174,00O,000 a1togeth-
err. OF this estimate the Miller says in
conclusion: y, Sss 7s4 sssEl "
Frankly, the Northwestern Miller con-
siders the estimate Of Mr.. Jones, 1876 mill
lion bushels, absurdly wrong. It believes
him further away from facts this, year
than he was last and that he has not the
faintest conception Of the acreage or yield
Of the northwestern wheat section. His
estimate can be accounted for only on the
supposition that, being in absolute error,
he has determined to be at least consist
ent and to 60 down gallaptlyf with his flag
nailed to the mast. It is possible to re-
spect and even admire the courage Of such
a position. but it, is out of the question to
give it serious consideration as anything
more than the expression of forlorn
hope; a. desperate struggle in the last
ditch of consistent crop destruction.
In the humble opinion fthe Northwest
penny, Mr.. Jones is not less than 40 mil
ern Miller, which may not be worth a
lion bushels behind the actual condition
Of the spring wheat crop. This journal
has made no canvass Of the exact returns
from the fields for this year. It has not
| thought it worth while to do as It did In
1904 make detailed report on each state,
for it has no ambition to wear the thorny
and unsatisfactory crown of a crop expert.
With the superficial knowledge it has of
the crop and without going into particu-
lars, it has no hesitation whatever in say
ing that it believes the spring wheat crop
this year will be not less than 200,000,0 600
bushels. and is quite willing to go on rec
ord to this effect. In order to give Mr..
Jones and those who still believe in his in
fallibility the benefit of every advantage,
it will go further and say that its estimate
does not include a bushel Of macaroni
| wheat. .... -. .,@. -
