Long Valley Prosperous Section.

w. R. Dawson, prosperous
ranchman of Long valley, arrived
in the city last night and made
trip to Meridian today on business.
Mr.. Dawson states that Long val
ley is the garden spot of the west
when it comes to raising grain and
hay, and although the season has
been backward this year, he says
there are not threshing machines
enough in the valley to handle the
grain and the six machines at work
here are running full time. The
immigration to that section this
summer has been good and many
people have started homes there
and he believes it will not be long
before a railroad will build in the
great hay, cattle and grain coun-

KANSAS AND THE MARKET

.
1t looks just now as if the greer
bug and unfavorable weather ma,
pare down the Kansas wheat croI
about one. third. This is. bad, bu
the Kansas citizen has the melsn
choly satisfaction of knowing tina
this bully state affects the market
of the world more apparently thai
all the rest put together. Have yol
been reading the market reports TO
the past month or two? If you have
you may recollect that the question
as to whether the bulls or bears haC
the best of it depended on the news
from Kansas.
One day dispatches would rea(
something like this: "ReT orts O.
the ravages of the green bug in Kan
sas much exaggerated, crop will bt
about normal" That was sufficient
to change the complexion of things
In the pit. The bulls lowered theil
tails and took to cover and the
bears commenced to growl in tri-
umph. You didn't find anything
worth mentioning about crop cOndi
tions in Nebraska, or Iowa or Dako
ia or any other old state, the new.
from Kansas was what did the busl
ness. The next day the reports rar
about like this: "Discouraging new:
from the Kansas wheat fields. Raw
ages of the green bug in the southern
part of state worse than at first sup
posed. In many of the counties the
yield will not exceed one.half.' ,
There was a frenzied rush to buy
and brokers had more orders than
they could attend to. The bear.
wepe out of the running and the
bulls had everything their own way.
There is q tremendous lot of thi.
United States outside of Kanses but
the men who are speculating i'll
grain have their eyes glued on this
state and pay little attention to the
rest of the country.
A hot wind in Kansas affects the
price of bread stuff in Liverpool,
Paris, Constantinople and Mong
kong and when the green bug settles
down to business in our fields of
waving grain the price of wheat be
gins to climb like the mercury in
the thermometer tube when it i S
hung out in the summer son.
Texas is a state of enormous area
and tremendous possibilities but SO
long as the green bug comfned her
labors to the state, of Texas the mar
ket wasn't seriously affected. Ii
was when she travelled North, spat
on her hands and jumped onto the
fields of Kansas that people in other
parts of the world began to wonder
what they would do for hot biscuit
We have been waiting to hear
from the parasitic bee that was to
chase the green bug out onto the tai
grass and there devour der. So far
we cannot learn that the bee is sew
ering much concealed moisture.
The excuse is urged that the weather
has been too coolfor the bee. Then
the thing for our professors to do is
to start some other kind of bee.
If this bee wants to sit round the
fire when it ought to be out putting
the everlasting ctimp on the green
bug then it is not the sort of a bee
we are looking for. We have no
use for a bee that insists on being
provided with heavy underwear and
an overcoat before it wild get out
and do busiaess.-Mail aud Breeze.
