Weather.crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, June IL, 1906
The daily average temperature for the
week'was 3 to s degrees above the nor
NAL. The rainfall was unequally dis
tributed, being deficient in about three
fourths OF the state, and much in excess
OF normal in portions of the northeast
and south central districts. Unusual
~ high winds were prevalent during
the latter part of the week, causing
rapid evaporation of moisture on the
surface, and creating apprehension of
damage to hay, oats, wheat and barley
in the driest sections. The conditions
have been generally favorable for the
corn crop which has been thoroughly Gull
tivated and is making excellent prog
ress. Numerous reports indicate some
detriment to oats and the hay crop
from the effects of dry weather and
and high winds, but as yet the condi-
ditions are not serious. In some of the
counties OF the northern section oats,
wheat and barley have made rank
growth, and the hay crop will be heavy
where the rainfall was about normal.
Potatoes and garden truck are doing
we'll. The pastures are generally af-
fording ample supply Of feed for, stock.
Following is partial summary of
reports of county and township corre-
spondents giving estimates of condi-
tions of crops June 1st. Corn, SO per
cent; wheat, 90; oats, 96; barley, SO;
rye, 81; fax, 81; potatoes, l01; tame

Attempt 10 Be Made to Avoid Re-
opening Discussion Of Question
Railroad Rate Bill Also Returned
to Conference.

Washington, June 13.-In the sem
ate Tuesday Senator Beveridge sought
to withdraw the conference report on
the statehood bill SO that the con-
ferees might take up the compromise
agreed upon Monday, but the request
was opposed by Senator Blackburn,
who made the point Of order that a
conference report being the property Of
the two houses of congress, cannot be
withdrawn except by unanimous con-
sent Senator Carter replied that tech
nically the report in this case had not
been presented to the house. He con-
tended that under the practice of the
senate = conference report could be
withdrawn at any time previous to ac-
tien by the senate. He took issue with
statement by Senator Blackburn that
the report = the joint property Ct both
houses, saying that tho papers are all
in the senate, and the matter has not
been presented to the house.
Senator's Lodge and Foraker took
the position that upon objection to
the withdrawal Of report such per-
mission can only be granted BY q vote
of the senate.
Leave to Withdraw Granted.
Senator Beveridge thereupon moved
that leave be granted to Withdraw the
report, and this was carried without
division He then formally withdrew
the report, thus taking the bill back
to conference.
Conferees on the bill met informally
later and agreed upon the new report
to be made ir accordance with the
compr0mise plan in regard to Arizona
and New Mexico. In view Of some dis
satisfaction among the Democrats in
the senate 1t was thoqSht best not to
bring in a report until Wednesday. In
the meantime efforts are being made
to placate the Democrats In order to
avoid reopening discussion OF the
statehood question.

FARMING IN ALASKA.

The Gateway, published at Seward, Alaska, records in a recent number the interesting fact that since last summer there have been twenty homestead claims located in the region around Knik Arm, mostly on the north side and in the lower Matanuska valley. The majority of these settlers are native Americans, although there are some Films among them. They have built cabins and are preparing to open farms for cultivation this season. Nearly all of them have families.
 These men have gone into the coun- try in advance of the railroad, in order to secure the pick of the land. They are not spectators, but actual settlers, because, under the provisions of the homestead law as 1t applies to Alaska, there is no opportunity to acquire title to the land without the completion of the full period of residence and culti- vation; the communication feature of the homestead law having been expressly eliminated, so far as Alaska is con- cerned.
 Some of these settlers intend to en- gage in stock raising, but others expect to make a living from general farming; and there is no doubt that they will be successful. In an interview in the Gate way Mir. Palmer, who has done some farming in the same region, states that around Kuik all ofthe hardy vegetables have been grown with astonishing sue cess. Potatoes and otherro cabbage, peas and even beans thrive marvellous ly. attain great size and possess the finest flavor. He states further that on the north side of the arm small grains will ripen, and instances the fact that volunteer oats have appeared year by year since 1898. at which time some grain was spilled in the place where the volunteer crops are now appearing.
 The soil is a sandy Ioam, exceedingly prolific. and considerable areas of open land alternate with belts of timber There are large amounts of it yet open to entry.
 There is not the slightest doubt that apriculture will soon be established on considerable scale in all of these val Iavs and that it will prove very profit abIe on account of the splendid mar kets which the mining camps will al ways afford.

WORK ON ALASKA ROADS.

Yhis seasons work to be done by the government in the improvement and establishment of roads and trails in Alaska is expected to be under way by July l. Capt. Tinsbury, who will have charge of the work in the western DOT tion of Alaska, will leave Seattle for the North tomorrow, and will be fol, lowed in a few days by Mai. Richard son, who will supervise the improve ments in and around Valdez, Fairbanks and the Nome peninsula.
 When interviewed last night Maj. Richardson said:
 "The work projected for the coming twelve months will involve the eXpen- allure of something like S20O,OOO. Our preliminary plans for the summers work have been completed and as soon as we can get on the ground actual work will be started on the various projects.
 "These include some work on what is known as the portage road across Prince of Wales island from Chumiey sound to Hetta inlet From S40,0OO to S50,OOO will be expended on the Valdez Fairbanks trail and on roads in the vi ciuity of Fairbanks. We will also do work around Rampant and eXpend S20,- 900 in the Nome district. Then there is a lot of minor work to be done in va rious other parts of Alaska.
 "Our supplies are in there now, and men, such as foremen and superintend- ents. We will secure our laborers in the vicinity where the work is to be done.
 "Upon our arrival there we will press the work vigorously so as to accomplish all possible before the winter sets in, and our principal aim will be to get a good mail trail through Fairbanks and into Nome"
