II will be seen that the acreage devoted
TO the growing Of this cereal has steadily
increased from 109, 100 acres in 1897 to
$4,000 in 1907, tho number of bushels
produced in 1907 being 2o,12S,o 600 as
against 2,1S2,600 in 1897. The Farm
value of this immense crop on December
1st, 1907, according TO the government
crop reporter, was about $12, 000, 900.
That South Dakota barley is very de-
sirable, carrying considerable fame for
mating purposes, is shown by the fact
that approximately $4,000, 900 bushels Of
the South Dakota crop was purchased
by the Brewing and Mailing interests.
Barley is commonly divided into feed
barley and mating barley. Feed bar
ley, as the term implies, Is used for feed
purposes and is unfit for mailing. The
fact that the major portion OF the 1907
crop was consumed by the brewing and
mating interests shows the high grade
| Of South Dakota barley and the posi-
bilities to which the state may aspire in
! the cultivation Of this cereal.
In this connection it is we'll to 0 n
slider two things.
First, the states which produce malt
ing barley are few in number can be
: counted on the fingers of the hand, In
, fact.
Second, barley Is m Of the most i'm
! portant grains in the matter Of diversi.
fed farming. Land exhausted by sue
cessive years Of wheat raising responds
: readily and successfully to the growing
of barley. Experience has demonstrated
' that on wheat-exhausted land, barley Of
a high grade a be grown for many
years without any appreciable deteriora'
ton of the soil. In addition, 1t stands
drouth and moisture fully as well as
wheat and has the reputation Of being a
cleanser Of dirty land.
What station South Dakota may there
fore take in the barley world, in view o.
its capacity for increased acreage and
Increased yield, should furnish matter
for serious reflection, especially in view
of the growing prohibitory agitation
Not enough heed has been paid as tc

CANADIAN ||. PACIFIC I.|I TO
IMPORT MECHANICS
English Agents VIII Engage as
Many as Possible.

Montreal, Aug. 12-While no Off
cial statement has come from the Ca;
madam Pacific railroad in regard to it
the announcement was unof1icially
made that the company is preparing
to bring several hundred mechanics
from England to take the places of
the men who went on strike last week.
Their agents in London have, it is
reported, been notified to engage as
many first class mechanics as can be
obtained and to send them along with
out delay. There is nothing in the
immigration laws OF Canada that will
prevent this being done, provided that
every such imported mechanic has at
least $50 in his possession. The COM
pany's officials are providing addi-
tional means for housing, feeding and
protecting strikebreakers in all of the
cities. involved in the strike. Tents
and cars are being sent for shelter.
There is no thought Of compromise
and the company will fight the strike
to the bitter end" said one of the
officials. 2.

TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE.
Three Persons Killed and NearI,
&c. Forty Injured,

Forty Injured.
- Piqua, O., Aug. 12.-Three persons
were killed and nearly forty others
were injured, several of whom are not
expected to survive, when two limited
suburban electric cars of the Western
Ohio Traction company collided at a
sharp curve few miles north of here.
Both trolley cars were late and in
addition to the usual high speed are
said to have been making up lost
time. It is said that the southbound
car from Sidney had orders to reach
and lay over at seldom used siding
just south OF Sidney, there to wait I'M
til the northbound car from here
passed. AS the southbound car round
ed a curve just before reaching the
switch the northbound car hove in
sight, approaching at a high rate of
speed. In an instant, there was a
crash. The nsouthbound car was tele-
scoped and almost completely reduced
to splinters. It was on this car that
the greatest number were injured
The passengers in neither car had
the slightest warning and were hurled
forward by the impact which SO sud-
denly checked their flight. Thrown
in heaps among the broken seats and
shcWered with glass and splintered
timbers they heard the crashing and
tearing as the big coaches locked their
vestibules. Few escaped without some
minor hurt.

dicted with Cooke, surrendered to the
authorities and was released on $4,000
bail. The alleged scheme which re:
suited in the indictments against
Cooke and Marshall was the procur-
ing of residents of this and other
states to go to Burns county, Ore, and
there take up tracts of government
timber land under a guarantee that in
three months time thereafter the Ore
gon Ranching and Timber company
would purchase the land at a higher
rate than the original cost. To pro-
cure such a transfer Of timber lands
the purchaser would be obliged, to
commit perjury and when disclosures
were made of that nature the federal
government acted in the matter.

Japanese View of American Naval Elk

Toxic, Aug. 12.-Count Okuma, in

attributes the present naval expansion
policy of the United States to the
sudden rise of Japan to the impor-

view says, in part:
Judging from the fragmentary
speeches of President Roosevelt as
they have been transmitted here it is
not difficult to infer that the aug
mentation Of the United States navy
in the Pacific is directed at JAPAN
Count Okuma doubts, however, that
the views and ideas of President
Roosevelt will long continue to gov
ern public opinion in America.
