Deane Robinson Estimates Yield at
100000 Bushels Less Than Last
Year.
The estimate of the barley crop of
the state for this year, which has just
been completed by Doane Robinson,
places it at 874.964 acres with a yield
of 20,438;S20 bushels. This makes a
yield of about 100000 bushels less
than last year, with a market price Of
about s7.0Oo,0OO in excess of last year.
the difference being caused by the re-
markable advance in the price.
The fire marshal law has now been
in effect for three months, and the
reports of fires show 1O7 for that time.
The largest number are ascribed to
known causes, there being twenty-nine.
Lightning comes next with fifteen, and
children with matches are credited
with ten fires. Gasoline is charged
with thirteen, kerosene with four, gas
leaks with four, and electric light wires
with one. Three are charged to in
cendiary origin, but only one of those
is certain.

Ten Of 1O7 in State Are Laid to Chill
dren With Matches.
The fire marshal law now has been
in effect for three months, and the re-
ports of fires in the state which have
been sent in for the first quarter show
1O7 for that time. The larger number
of them are ascribed to unknown
causes, there being twenty-nine in that
list Lightning comes next with fif-
teen, and children with matches are
credited with ten fires Gasoline is
charged with thirteen, kerosene with
four, gas leaks with four, and electric
light wires with one Three are
charged to incendiary origin, but only
one of these is certain in case where
an insane man is known to have
burned small building, and tramps
are supposed to have started two 9TH
ers.
Eight fires are credited to defective
chimneys and stove pipes, one to an
overturned stove and one to a car
each are given credit for four fires,
and four started from other buildings
burning. Careless smokers started two
fires with the fire from their pipes, and
one each is credited to hot grease,
spontaneous combustion, and meat
falling into the fire. One prairie fire
was reported, but such blazes are not
generally reported as they are too nu-
merous west of the river to be consid-
cred as necessary to report.
While incendiarism is ascribed as
the probable cause Of several fires, no
suits have been brought by the fire
marshal unuer the law, as the required
evidence to sustain a. suit is not easy
to obtain, and many cases where there
is suspicion, show the charges to be so
groundless when investigated.

ter and receiver of the Rapid City
United States land Office is a case
that is of the greatest interest to set
tiers everywhere who have taken up
land under the desert land act of 1887.
1t is the contest of Charles T. Rudel
against the desert entry of Tylta
Sundquist.
The contestant claims that the land,
which lies northeast of Belle Fourche,
near the government irrigation prof.
ect, is not desert land within the
meaning Of the act.
The commissioner of the general
land office at Washington once made
a ruling that LANDS which will pro-
duce native grasses sufficient in guam
tity, if unfed by grazing animals, to
make an ordinary crop of hay in usual
seasons are not desert lands" and
that Glands which will produce an
agricultural crop Of any kind In
amount to make the cultivation rea-
sonably remunerative are not desert
lands" Miss Sundquist has made the
land productive, Rudel alleges, and if
his contest Is allowed it will affect
many other settlers who have taken
up land in this vicinity and made a
fair success of it under the desert
act, liable to contest and practically
helpless, for the reason that the rain
fall in this vicinity during the last
two years has greatly exceeded that
of former years.
1t is believed that the decision will
affect likewise settlers in other parts
of the country.

MONTANA news
RAILROAD is SCORED.
Montana Railroad Commissioners In
vestigate Condition Of G. N.

Montana Railroad Commissioners In
vestigate Condition of G. N.
Montana's state board OF railroad
commissioners has completed hear
tngs at Fort Benton on the necessity
Tor a daylight train service on the
Great Northern between Havre and
Great Falls, and on alleged insufficient
station facilities at Columbia Falls,
and at these it was brought out that
the Great Northern, according to wit
nesses had thirty wrecks In as many
days; that there were broken rails by
the score; that the service on the
whole was miserable; that the public
welfare was disregarded, and that it
maintained private line in defiance
OF the law, the general condition be-
Ing such that the chairman remarked
that he was amazed that any commu-
nifty should have patiently borne the
excess of imposition and injustice al
legged to have been heaped upon it by
the Great Northern. The commission
has decided to hold another hearing
at an early date for the purpose OF
making further inquiry into the
charges preferred as ex parte matter
at that time.
At Columbia Falls, it was alleged
by witnesses that between Balton and
that place there are broken rails by
the score, and in places the spikes are
not only drawn, but the rails suspend
ed six inches above the ties. 1t was
also adduced at that hearing that the
Great Northern Is maintaining a pri-
vate line of railroad between Kalispe1l
and Sonora, in absolute defiance Of
the law, in that while the right Of
way was secured by the company as a
common carrier, no pretension is
made toward serving any one save
the company's sawmill business. No
freight other than company property
is hauled over the line, and persons
wishing to travel between the cities
must do so by conyeyances other than
the railroad. The excuse given, it is
averred, is that the company has too
much business of it's own to accommo-
date the public. 1t will ship 100000
600 feet Of manufactured lumber this
year.
Ashby Conrad, Kalispell banker,
testified that the agent at Shelby re.
fused to build fire in the station,
and that to keep some women and
children warm he had gone out on the
tracks and picked up enough coal to
relieve the distressing situation. An
other witness testified that trains
were not posted at Whitefish, the di-
vision point and that three hours had
to be guessed at as to time of arrival
Other witnesses testified to miserable
service on the main line, and that alb
solutely no reasonable connections on
branches were to be had. State SEN
ator Long told of thirty wrecks in
thirty days on the Whitefish division
and declared that trains could hardly
help being late, considering the condi.
ton OF the roadbed.

Aberdeen S. d. Oct. 13.-Every city
and town within a radius of 200 miles
of Aberdeen is on the lookout for
eight fugitives who escaped from the
Brown county Jail in this city. The
Jail delivery occurred after the even
Ing meal had been given out and while
the sheriff and deputy were out at sup
per. A screen had been removed from
the window in the main corridor and
the bars sawed through. Escape was
then comparatively simple matter.
Those who got away are Theodore
Taylor, to be tried for killing bar
tender at Glenham a few weeks ago;
Tom Sloan charged with shooting
Harry Lockhart at Ferney; Durant
and Bent, held on the charge of high
way robbery; Long and Adams, await
ing trial on charge of stealing furs
belonging to Lanpher & Co. of ST.
Paul from box car at Leola; j. Nc
earthly, the man who, it Is alleged,
tried to wreck saloon in this city,
and George Williams, suspected
thief.
There were seventeen prisoners in
the Jail at the time the eight made
their escape. Nine refused to take
advantage of the opportunity. One of
those who remained is a young man
named Moser, who is to be tried for
the murder of man at Columbia
July last No trace has yet been
found of the fugitives.
