SOUTH DAkoTA's CROP IMMENSE.
People Of Site Expect 5o,ooo,ooo
Bushels of Wheat.

South Dakota wheat production for
1906: Not less than 50,000,000 bush.
els.
This is the mark at which the state
has set its wheat production for this
year. Wether or not the wheat yield
OF the state will reach this enormous
figure will be determined by the char
acter of the weather during the next
ten days or two weeks
During the warm weather of last
week crops Of all kinds made really
wonderful progress. While the rain OF
Saturday was not badly needed in
many parts of the state, it came at a
good time fer many localities, where
the surface Of the ground had become
dry, and was beneficial to the crops
throughout the state.
Crops in the state at large, from all
reports, are in really excellent condi-
ton. Although the present is the crit
ical period for the crops of South Da-
kota, everything indicates that only I'M
foreseen calamity, such as a hurricane
covering a wide extent of country, or
a prolonged rainy period, can now pre-
vent South Dakota from raising what
will perhaps, be the greatest crop in
it's history.
There were destructive hailstorms
last week, but these were confined to
limited areas.
Traces of Rust.
Some traces of rust were found over
limited areas Immediately after the
prolonged wet weather of about two
weeks ago. The hot weather of last
week, however, removd all fears OF
damage by rust, at least for the time
being.
Corn Looks Good.
Corn was very backward in the early
part of the season. owing to cool
weather, but the hot weather of the
past ten days or two weeks has pushed
this corn ahead very rapidly. Farm
ers in many parts of the state who had
given up all hope of being able to raise
a crop of corn this year, now say
there is every prospect that their corn
will yield better than for several
years.
The part of the state west of the
Missouri river, although newly devel-
oped, has had fully as much rain this
season as the older part of the state
east Of the Missouri river, and the
crops Of the thousands of new settlers
are almost certain to be of the bumper
kind.

Back From Europe.
Duluth, July 20.-Rev. Bishop McGol-
rick, bishop of the Catholis diocese of
Duluth, was rendered a magnificent re-
ception at the cathedral auditorium
last evening. The reception was in
the hands of the Knights of Columbus,
and the auditorium was filled to its
capacity.
The reception waAa formal welcome
home to the bishop AFTER his absence
of four months in Europe with Arch
bishop Ireland, during which time they
visited Pope Plus x. The reception
was of additional interest in that there
was surprise in store for the bishop.
1t was that the mortgage Of $4,000
on the property owned by the parish
was paid during his absence, and that
this property, worth 100000, is free
from debt.
The bishop believed a short address
in which he deserted some of the
features of his trip through Europe.

EARLY Reports of Explosion at Wash
burn Fall Short of Damage.
Washburn, Wis, July 20.-Property
loss resulting from the explosion of
nitroglycerin at the plant of the East
ern Dynamite company, near this city,
which was previously reported to have
been $780, probably will reach $780,
900, as nearly every building at the
plant, and they were fifty in number,
were badly damaged, and the house
where the explosion occurred, includ-
ing the leaden tanks inside, was blown
to splinters and was not damaged by
fire at all.
The small loss of life is due to the
fact that only few men are employed
about the powder line, and the build
ings are quite distance apart, with
log ba-ricades and with sand filling
all about them.

$15S.04 During the same period for
