fields are now practically safe
from the effects of frost, and,
with another week Of favorable
weather, fully Is per cent of
the crop will be out Of danger.
The dry hot weather has check
ed the development of some of
the late planted corn, but under
the most favorable conditions
much of it could not have ma
tured, so the loss is immater-
ial as compared with the rapid
advancement made in the ear
ly planted fields. Considerable
corn was cut during the week.
The dry weather also checked
fall blowing, and has had a
damaging effect on pastures,
which are becoming short over
the larger portion of the state.
There was, however, consider
blowing done during the fore
part of the week, and fall seed
ing of rye and wheat was begun
in southern districts, under fav-
orable conditions. Garden
truck continues to be plentiful,
and peaches are exceptionally
good. Apples are falling rap
idly on account of the dry
weather and brisk winds, and
the crop will be much lighter
than anticipated. The prospects
are still favorable for a large
crop of clover seed.

of a new train, a hotel on wheels
which yesterday was put into
service on the Nebraska and
Wyoming district of the road.
The purpose Of the train will
be to serve new towns along
the far western extension of
the Northwestern and while
Mr.. Kniskern gave no intima-
tion of this, it probably will be
used on the systems coast ex-
tention from Landers.
The train consists of four
cars. The first car contains
the refrigeration rooms and
the ice storage stock. The
second car is a kitchen car and
is model of it's kind. The
third car lisa modern restaurant

of tables. The fourth car is
equipped with a long lunch
counter with high stools in
front, just as the quick service

said the passenger business was
good, and he judged this also
was true of the freight business.
Anyhow, he judged SO from the
