Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make range of from
S7,O00,00O to 115.000,000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these flgures-prob-
ably not far from 90,000,000 bushels.
This year larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from IS
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield OF last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the oO,OO0,-
600 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx Of settlers was responsible
to considerable extent for much of
the Increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, is also responsible for a
part OF the decreased average yield.

THf FARMER PAYS THE Bills
COST OF HAULING GRAIN COMES
OUT OF HIS PROFITS, SAYS
HEFFELFINGER.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-"The farmer is
the man who pays the bills" is the
way that Frank T. Heffelinger, mem
ber of the grain firm of F. H. Peavey
& Co., put the proposition of elevation
In charges in the hearing before the
interstate commerce commission in
Chicago yesterday.
Mr. Heffelfinger was called as the
first witness in the case brought by
the Chicago Great Western road
against the Union Pacific, alleging
that the railroad is paying rebates to
the Peavey Elevator company In the
form of allowances for elevation at the
Missouri river on grain shipped by the
Peavey company.
Mr. Heffelfinger was asked about the
apportionment of expenses, and de-
clared that it was in the last instance
footed by the farmer who sold the
grain.
One of the chief allegations in the
case is that the railroad company
granted rebates to the Peavey Eleva'
tor company and gave it monopoly
of the grain business along the rail-
road

Government Gets Land Near Irrigation
Project Without Condemning.
An important matter was decided
at Deadwood when a settlement was
made between the Belle Fourche Land
and Cattle company and the men in
charge of the Belle Fourche irrigation
project in regard to the price of some
land owned by the corporation. The
land and cattle company owns large
acreage adjoining the town Of Belle
Fourche, and when work was well
under way on the government diver
sion dam two miles south of town it
became apparent that some of this
land would be overf1owed.
Special agent Wallace, acting for the
government, came out to Belle
Fourche ten months ago to look over
the land and to make an agreement
with the owners for the price. An
agreement was entered into and an
option signed by which the company
was to receive $11,250 for an absolute
title to ninety-three acres and the
right to overflow forty-nine acres at
the time of high w:ter.
Shortly afterward, however, the To-
cal engineer for the reclamation ad
vised the department that the price
agreed upon was too high. On July IA
an action was begun by the United
States government to condemn the
land which would be overfowed. The
case was set for this term Of court
but an understanding has been reached
and the price Of $11 900 paid for an alb
solute title to all land that is perma

acres, and the right to overflow an ad.

Few counties in South Dakota are

The county commissioners OF Miner
county, at a recent meeting held for
the purpose Of fixing the tax levy for
the coming year, placed the levy at
7 mills, which is mills lower than
the levy for last year. The levy is
divided as follows: State tax,

have stated, are estimated at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725 900,
and barley at 1890, 900 bushels, which
is very satisfactory, II not absolutely
satisfying. To better appreciate this
fact, all that Is necessary to do Is to
go back 25 years in the history OF
Western Canada. At that time the
agricultural product Of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted of 100000 bushels OF
wheat, on an acreage Of $1,000 and
1,270,268 bushels of oats. The entire
crop was at that time required for
local purposes, and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 20,000,O00 bushels OF
wheat for local consumption and seed.
ing, there will be about 70,000,000
bushels for export, which at 70 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent of nearly $4,000, 900.
