hold. No country in tho world comes
anywhere near such a record. The to-

gold coinage circulation Of the world.
The increase over last years values
is computed at s29o, 100000 by Score
tary Wilson in his annual report.
which was transmitted to Congress
today. Had it not been for the falling
off in the demand for cotton and hay
the total would have neGn much more,
says the report.
The value Of produ, It's in 1899, 1.-The
census year, being taken at 100, the
value for 1903 stands ii 1875; for 1904,
at 131; for 1905. at 154: for 1905. at
143; for 1907, at 15s. and for 1908, at

wealth production on the farms OF
this country has exceeded the fabulous
sum of 100000. 600 $1,000.

Greatest of all crops IS Indian corn
whose production this year is 2,643,-
000.0 900 bushels. The value of this. crop
is $1,615,000.000 This wealth, grown
out of the soil in four months of rain,
srnshine, and some drought. is enough
to cancel the interest bearing debt OF
the United States ana to pay for the

A Fierce Prairie Fire.

The REPUBLICAN last Tuesday
made mention of prairie fire
raging the night previous in the
vicinity of the Hunter ranch,
but could give no particulars as
the phone wires were down and
couriers had not come in from
that district.
The tenant out on Black we'll 5
farm, 8 miles north of this city,
was engaged in burning some
rubbish Wednesday evening, last
week, when gale of wind sud-
denly came up, scattering the
live embers to the dead, dry grass
which instantly blazed in so
many places he was unable to
cope with it.
The fire swept from the Black
we'll place to dob" Hunters
ranch and burned strip "a of a
mile wide across it, destroying
l 1-2 miles of fence, two ricks OF
hay and a bunch of fine timber.
From there it burned TO the
George Smith place, and destroy
ed mile of fence, and a lot OF
trees. Here it was met by a
back fire that had been started
by fully fifty men who worked a:
only determined men can work,
work and through the effort
put forth by them, the fire wa:
subdued.

h. A. Hunter and George
Smith wish to earnestly thank
the many friends and neighbors,
who so heroically came to their
assistance, and fought the dis
astrous prairie fire, which, had it

whole ranches and burned build
iugs, fences and trees of many
years painstaking care. We
thank you all heartily.

GEO. SMITH.
