the product for 1906 will be much
larger than that stated. These ex-
perts say that they believe the yield
for the year will not fall far short of
100000 bales in of the output
of 1905. The flood in the jute-grow-
ing districts of Eastern Bengal and
Assam, which destroyed a good deal
OF the crop, meets an element of I'M
certainty in calculation. The reports
show that there are at least zoe, 900
more acres sown in jute this year
than last, and it is claimed that this
fact alone justifies the conclusion
that the yield of 1906 will be largely
in excess of that of 1905.
There will be a prompt demand
for all the jute that is raised and at
good prices, unless all signs fail, and
this, it is thought, will stimulate the
planters to increase the acreage plant
ed to jute for next year out of all
proportion to the legitimate demand,
and thus bring down the prices in the
future.
Other crops raised in India are
rice, to which 50,0S0,50O acres are
devoted: wheat, with an acreage OF
&c, 226, 200; sugar cane, 2,110, 500;

midas PROMISING CROPS.
Estimated Increase i'm the Production
of Jute 100. 600 Bales.

American buyers of jute will be
interested in the final forecast for
1906 made by the Government of
India. 1t covers Bengal, Eastern
Bengal and Assam, where most of the
midas jute is grown. The estimate
is 8,736,220 bales from 3,336,10O
acres, against S,OSS,930 bales in
1906. The other areas producing
jute, Cooch Bahar, Nepal, Upper In
dia and stations outside of Bengal,
have been estimated upon on the
basis of their production last year at
147,62S bales.
The Director of Agriculture, how
ever, says that he believes these lat
ter areas will produce a small in
crease on last years output. He also
says that a small area of jute has
been cultivated in North Bahar. The
grand total of bales for 1906 is thus
shown to be 8,SS3,S6S.
1t is understood by experts that the
estimates of the Agricultural Depart
ment are very conservative, and that

linseed, 3~,267,4O0; cotton, 2O,4O1,-
600, and indigo, 380,700. The esti-
mated yield of the rice crop is 49,
29S,05O. tons; of the wheat crop,
S,560,340 tons; of sugar cane, 1,725,-
800 tons; of linseed, 353,40O tons;
of cotton, 4,237,999 bales, and of in
digo, 44,700 bales. Of rice only
449,S25 tons were exported last year,
or about 2 per cent, and of wheat
only 1888 tons, or a little under
2 per cent. India imported from
Port Said last year sixty-five tons of
Egyptian cigarettes. This is sugges-
tive to American manufacturers of
that article. The amount was more
than eighteen tons more than was
shipped to the United Kingdom from
the same source.

FUND IS Invested

the Largest Part Of the Investment
Sound municipalities Also

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 17.-On the first
Of January, 1906. the permanent school
fnnd OF the state amounted to s4,S776,-
1861. which either was loaned on real
estate or county or municipal securi-
in the way of deferred payments on
lands which had been sold.
This sum Is drawing 5 and 6 per cent.
interest. This income goes directly into
the school funds Of the different coun-
ties for the use of the schools. Up to
four years ago the whole amount drew
6 per cent, but the rate was reduced to
s per cent, and since that time 81, 000,-
700 has been placed at the new rate,
much of it being money paid on the old
= per cent. loans n relOaned at the
reduced rate. The balance is yet in the
+ per cent. list either as old loans at
the 3 per cent. rate, or as deferred pay
ments on sales made prior to the time
of the reduction in rate. These deferred
payments at the present time amount
to 81, 1874, 1864, and every year sees q
large amount of this paid in, forcing it
into the lower rate lass. 1t will not
be many years before the whole fund
Will be at the . per cent. rate. For the
year 1905. the loans of the funds
amounted to $GT6. 626. 90, of which $685.
495,l was sent out from the office, and
me DdlalCe was lclOalleu Dy the cOun-
ties.
The department has been securing
r number of0sOund municipal loans the
last year, but out of the total amount
loaned for the year, more than a half
million dollars was on farm property,
that class Of loans taking up always
q larger part of the fund han all other
classes combined; $5S,650 was loaned
to school districts; $37,450 to munich
p%alities, n $4,000 to counties for the
year.
Faux county took the required cash
from, the school fund for the erection
pr their new court house, while munich
pal loans were made in the counties of
~Cod:ngton, Day, Grant, Gregory, Ham
i'm, Hyde n Moody. School district
bonds running from 5000 in Stanley to
s1l,600 in Hamlin county were made
during the year.
For the first time in the history of
the state, every county now holds in
vestments of the permanent school
FUND. Stanley has never asked for any
Of the fund previous to last year but
In organizing it's school districts, it is
finding q place for the cash thus to be
secured. At ne time within the last
year has the permanent fund been al
lowed to accumulate, and it all has
been kept busy drawing the income
which helps reduce local taxation in
the school districts of the state.

MEXICO DISCRIMINATES,
Goods from United States Are Set
Aside for Foreign Manufacturers.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Feb. 20,-Charles
S. Small of this city, who left here
some time ago for Mexico to study min
ing conditions and methods there, has
just written Interestingly concerning
business conditions INC the discrimina-
'tion in the Mexican tariff against the
United States products. He says that
Mexican tariff varies according to
where the goods come from, and the
consequence is that there is a tariff
retaliation on the products of the
United States and that Mexico discrimi-
mates against us every time. He says
that this is not generally known but
that England, France, Germany and
even Belgium are outstripping us in
trade with Mexico. Mr.. Small says
further, that at Tampico he saw eleven
huge liners in the harbor from the coun-
tries just mentioned n even one from
Norway, but not n from the United
States. and Ia further. the custom
house was literally full of European
merchandise and not one case with the
label Made In the United States" Two
examples will illustrate these condi-
tions: On wagons, buggies, etc, are i'm
posed a duty Of $1.40 d kilo, while

PAPER.
Gregory County Farmer Held for Ma,
Iicious Mischief.

Chamberlain, S. D., Feb. 17.-John
Klein, a farmer living in the south
eastern part of Gregory county, has
been bound over to the next term Of
state circuit court in that county on
an unusual charge-the destruction of
papers in a real estate transfer.
Klein was arrested on complaint OF
William Murphy, a real estate dealer,
on the charge Of malicious mischief. 1t
is alleged in the complaint that Murphy
had sold a tract Of land for Klein, and
that when the transaction was about to
be closed Klein, who evidently had
changed his mind about selling the
land, got possession OF the contract for
the deed and a note and mortgage and
DESTROYED them before those present
could interfere.
When taken before Judge higgins,
Klein waved his preliminary examina-
ton and was held for appearance at
the next term of circuit court.

SURFACE GAS FOUND.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 2l.-It is reported
that surface gas has been discovered
in Brush creek in the southeastern part
of Butte county. The stream is fed
by springs, and a settler opened up one
of these springs to secure a water sup
ply for his cattle on account of the
freezing of the stream. While at work
he lighted his pipe and was surprised
to see the surface of the water burst
into flame from the burning match. The
gas on the surface of the pool which
he opened up burned for some time,
starting with a flash which scorched
his hands when it first famed UP and
gradually dying down until it went out
for lack of material. This would in
dictate that the gas belt extends pretty
well over the western part of the
state .a
