week on legal business. He re-

How Il Expert Jones
Estimates Crop

Mr.. Jones, the crop expert,
visited this Office last week. We
were gladSto see Mr.. Jones and
offered him every inducement to
sit down. He finally sank into
Ia bunch Of exchanges and after
getting a little Northern Pacific
dirt out of his throat exclaimed
that he was always glad to get
] into a country printing Office.
where real type was used and
| the smell of ink WASH It confined
to the basement but was allow
ed to wander all over the build
ing like a cash subscriber. Mr..
Jones got his start in life BY set
ting type on the Brush Prairie
Review, published on Section
II56. It was a rural paper and
the Office faced a wheat field In
the summer and a snow bank in
the winter. While spacing out
a line he would glance out Of
the window on a bright August
day and estimate the crop. In
this way he became a good esti-
mater. Some years the owner
OF the threshing machine would
take his estimate rather than
the machine measure when maxi
ing out his threshing bill. When
copy was short and the job hook
empty, he would walk around
a little and estimate the
yield for some Of the other
farmers who took the paper and
occasi onally laid a cabbage
or a dozen eggs on the editor's
desk. His estimate generally
proved satisfactory unless the
granary leaked or the threshing
machine was in poor health and
did not separate properly. Mr..
Jones soon left the Prairie Re-
view to edit the market page
Of a city daily. His work was
always well done and his tips
worth going miles to get. The
wheat and stock market are very
sensitive and are affected BY
the heat and cold, especially the
cold blooded speculauor and q
man has to have a revolving
office chair and a well pointed
lead pencil to keep up with the
sudden changes. Mr.. Jones

o Indians

Norman Richotte was arrested
Saturday for selling liquor tc
Indians. Before Judge Duell
sufficient evidence was produced
to warrant the judge in binding
him over to the district court in
the sum Of $500, in default OF
which the prisoner was remand
ed to jail. .$
Saturday the chief Of police
found an Indian under the in
huence of liquor and promptly
arrested him. Upon being
promised his liberty if he would
tell where he purchased the
booze he informed on Richotte,
who was bootlegging in the city.
The arrest promptly followed.
I It seems that Richotte has been
living on the reservation for
some time and through his ac-
quaintance there expected to do
quite a fouris hing business with

The Great Northern railroad
has the block system in working
order at every station from
Minot to st. Paul. Signal and
switch towers are located at
each station which are equipped
with both telegraph and tele-
phone instruments and exper-
fenced operators are in charge
both night and day. With this
system the chances Of a collision
are reduced to the minimum, as
the tracks between stations are
kept clear. Leo Beauchamp,

Thinks Water Will
Recede no Further

Fargo Forum: Prof. E. F..
Chandler was a passenger west
bound last night for Devils Lake
where he goes to inspect the
government water level gauge
put in by himself several years
ago. He has not looked at it
for almost three years but has
had man to record the readings
and take care Of it during that
time.
Prof. Chandler is in charge
of all government river and
stream gauging in this state
and also has, until a recent date,
had charge of the Minnesota
districts, so he is well informed
about water levels.
When asked il Devils Lake
was receding as rapidly as it
did up to few years ago, he
said that it was not. Between
the years Of 1867 and 1903 the
surface of the lake went down
| about fourteen feet as near as
can be estimated, and even now
'pilings and former docks can
i be seen from the Great North
ern trains passing through the
city of Devils Lake. This four
teen feet estimate is thought to
/ be about correct as in the year
of 1867. when Fort Totten was
built, the water just came no to
the foundation Of an old stone
storehouse at the fort, and at
the present time these founda-
tions are at least the distance
mentioned, above the water
level.
Since 1903 Professor Chandler
recorded readings from the
gauge at all seasons Of the year
and although Of course the sur
face fuctuates With the time of
the year, no very great change
in the level Of the water has
been noticed.
When asked If he thought the

ally felt of the crop and hotel
food at the travelling mems
table. He finds that North Da-
kota, this year, has been doing
business at the old stand and
will raise enough wheat to keep
dust on the nailler's clothes for
some time. In a few days the
:threshing machine will be blow
ing straw in the air and empty
ing wheat in the grain box and
the truth will come out like
noise in the night when pa
steps on a tack and drops the
baby On the hardwood floor. ~

The Burlington soil and crop report for

wheat is doing we'll under the circum-
stances, but is showing the need OF rain.
good rain was reported last Saturday.
which should have remedied that defect.
The dry surface and high winds were hard
on oats. but the present rain should bring
them out. Corn made slow progress owing
to the cold weather. but the rain should
set II right. Potatoes are in good condi-
ton and doing wen The first cutting OF
alfalfa yielded a good crop. but grass and
ranges need rain. Little rain fell on this
division until SATURDAY.
on the Sheridan division wheat is grow
ing fast, the stand is even and the pros
poets are for good crop. Oats also are
growing fast and unless Il should turn
dry there should be a good crop. The po-
tato crop Is in fine condition and the mead
ows and pastures are still in good condi-
ton, with an abundance of feed for all
kinds of stock. About an inch OF rain fell
during the last week and the soil is in ex
cellent condition. Reports from agricul-
tural districts show all kinds of vegetation
in good condition Stock fatteninE fast.

Wool clip is fine and larger than previous
years
on the Sterling division from Holdrege
to Curtis wheat lie filling better than was
expected and the best crop will be on
pieces where the ground was put in good
condition last fall. From Curtis to Ster-
| ling, except at Curtis and haywood, the
prospects are good, as the cool weather has
kept the ground in fairly good condition.
In the vicinity Of Sidney wheat is in good
condition and promises good yield.
oats will be light unless we have plenty
OF rain in the near future. East of Curtis
they are perhaps too far gone now to make
anything, but there viii be fair crop on
| the rest of the division II the weather con-
| ditions are favorable.
| Corn is backward on account of the cool
weather. The stand however, is good, and
II we get plenty Of rain within the next
ten DAYS or two weeks IL will be safe and
will probably yield as good a crop as last
year
| Potatoes are in very good condition and
! the yield will be about an average. Beets
now being cultivated and thinned. Pros
poets are good. Weather quite favorable,
except little short of, rain and they were
set back by high winds.
Pasture is quite short for this time of the

cattle and hogs are being disposed Of on
| account Of the present outlook for grain
and hay. In the vicinity Of Sidney. where
more rain has fallen, feed is in excellent
condition.
There has been but very little rain on the
Holdrege- Cheyenne line during the last
week. In the vicinity OF Sidney enough
rain has fallen to keep crops up in good
shape.
