RAIsINs ARE SCARCE.
Estimated IN East That Crop VIII Be
$4,000 Tons Short.

lO,OOO Tons snort.
New York, Nov. 14.-Albert Castle
of Castle Bros. thinks that the Cali
fornia raisin crop is from 1900 to
$4,000 tons short of early expecta-
tions. He is quoted as saying:
81 do not believe that the crop
will amount to more than 1000 tons.
believe that the crop is decidedly
oversold. At the opening of the
season the growers, thinking that
there would be a large crop, were
willing to take a reasonably low price
for their fruit. AS a result the East
ern buyers purchased heavily. Europe
had enough raisins for its own use,
it was developed later, but none to
export Canada, which ordinarily
buys raisins abroad, had to come to
us. Our stocks in this State are
pretty well cleared up. The actual
situation will not be known under
fortnight possibly. We are not sell
ing and raisins, neither is any other
dealer"
There Is a story current on the
Coast that certain growers in Fresno
county, seeing the raisin demand in
the markets of the East, have taken
pains to acquaint themselves with
the conditions abroad, and have
helped to make a shortage by hiding
back secretly large quantities of
raisins and falling short in filling
their contracts to sell at price
agreed upon early in the season.
Lee l.. Gray of the Fresno Home
Packing Company is quoted as saying
that the prices for seeded raisins
opened extremely low-from So to
cents a pound. Under the changed
conditions Gray believes that before
January 1st the fancy seeded fruit
will bring 10 cents-a great advance
over the opening price. There has
been nothing like this in years.

SALTON SEA
BRINGS RAIN
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN ONE
OF THE GREATEST BLESS
INGs FOR THE WEST.
Evaporation Causes Downpour of
Rain in Western Kansas, Texas
and Oklahoma

Yuma, Arizona, Nov. 14.-Many
people of Arizona, New Mexico and
Western Texas believe that the Sal
ton Sea is one of the greatest bless
ings ever bestowed upon the arid
West. Those who take this view of
this newly created inland body of
water are strongly opposed to the
recent stoppage of the flow of water
into the sea from the Colorado
River.
Major George J. Inman, who is
well known throughout the South
west, is one of those who believe
that the Salton Sea is the cause of
the phenomenal meteorogical change
which has come over the whole of
the Southwest, including all of West
ern Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma
during the past two years. Its be-
neflcent influence extends far down
into Mexico, 1t is contended. Major
Inman is interested in a large Ameri-
can colony enterprise in the north
western part of the State of Chi
huahua. He says that the change
which has taken place in the section
where his colony Is located during
the last two years is marvellous.
When the colonists settled there 1t
was supposed that nothing could be
raised on the land without irriga-
tion. Since the Salton Sea made its
appearance the rainfall has been
abundant and big crops are raised
without irrigation. The same thing
Is true throughout the Southwest.
Major Inman says that he will
take up the matter with President
Roosevelt and President Diaz with
the view Of obtaining the co-opera-
ton of the United States and Mexi-
can governments in preserving the
new body OF water. 1t is claimed
that II the sea is permitted to remain
the United States Government will
be saved millions of dollars that
would otherwise be expended In re-
claiming arid lands by irrigation
projects.
1t is the theory of those who be-
lieve that the apparent change OF
climatic conditions in the Southwest
is due to the Salton Sea that before
the advent OF that body of water,
clouds from the Pacific Ocean which
were laden with moisture were un-
able to get across the great expanse
OF desert. The terrific heat from the
parched and blisterlng sands rose
into the air and dissipated the mois-
ture. This made the region to the
cast of the desert arid and unfit for
agricultural development. Occasion
ally In the winter season clouds
would get across the desert and rains
would ensue In the arid region. Since
the thousands of square miles of des-
ert is now covered to a depth of ten
TO 120 feet with water the moisture
laden clouds are able to pass across
INTO the formerly arid region OF Ari-
iona, New Mexico and Western
Texas and abundant rains are the
result.
The flow of water into the Salton
Sea has recently been stopped by
'allroad companies, which built vast
iams In year or two the water in
he vast sea will be evaporated and
I will be a desert again.

RAILROAD OFFERS TO

The Northern Pacific railroad has Of
fered to move the entire village of Win

wipe the village out. The commission

railroad officials have sent notice to the
dwelling will be moved free of cost to a
location just as convenient to the new
station as it now is to the old one.
The 500 has notified the village of

on It-Duluth People Favor It
Strongly and Will Have Subject Up

George w. Cooley, state highway en-
gineer, believes that the Ntrf-city
highway between the twin cities and
Duluth, may be accomplished within
a few years. Sentiment was strongly
in favor of such an enterprise at the
recent good roads meeting at Duluth,
and it will be discussed again at a
meeting scheduled for June 12, the day
before the republican state convention.
lows the line Of the Northern Pacific IS
Duluth line rather closely, connecting
at White Bear with the suburban road
spstem. Mr.. Cooley expects to go
over the entire route this summer BY
automobile, so as to be able to give
advice on the construction of the road
for each section of the $50 miles.
The state a do little for the road.
Under the highway commission law no
county can receive more than 3 per cent
Of the state funds in any one year,
which would limit each county next
year,to about $4,000. That would only
build about a mile of macadam or
gravel road in each county. 1t will
be necessary for the counties to do most
of the work, and to issue bonds for it.
The cost would fall on the counties of
Washington, Chisago, Pine, Carlton and
st. Louis.
"Such a road will cost $250,000 tc
$500, O0O,' says Mr.. Cooley, elf fig
ured on the basis of $4,000 a mile. ]
am told, tho, that a good deal Of the
way there is good road already, sc
that might be much reduced. There il
plenty of material all along the way
for roadmaking. It will take time, ant
such a road, if built, should be done
like a railroad, with system and sci
ence.'' .

SCHOOL SHOULD Be MOVED
GOVERNOR FINDS THAT IDEAL
CONDITIONS ARE NOT POSSIBLE
AT GIRLS TRAINING SCHOOL.

Governor Johnson message to the
next legislature will strongly recon-
mend the establishment Of a new girls
training school, either outside Of Red
Wing or in some other part of that city,
so as to be entirely separated from the
boys school. L. A. Roslng of the board
of control, who accompanied the gov
ernor on his visit to the state insti-
tutions of the east, is of the same mind,
and his views will doubtless be embod-
led in the report Of the board Of on
troll.
1.-THE ideal institution we found,'
said the governor today, twas the
girls school at Middletown, Conn.
The best feature there was the outdoor
freedom the girls have. They make
garden and take delight in it, and seem
contented and glad to learn. Such free
dom is not possible in our institution
because of it's proximity to the boys
school. The school should be quite
apart and under separate management.
Zone thing we noticed about the in
sane asylum at Middletown was the
abundance Of light in all the rooms and
corridors. It makes the buildings more
cheerful and ought to be of benefit to
the patients. Similar results could be
secured at our hospitals at small ex-
pense by putting in large windows at
the ends Of the ~corridors.'
