fac simile of it's first number, pub
lishej fifty years ago on little hand
press. Copies of the first number were
sold at 25 cents each when issued, and
bear the line: Cherry Greek, X. r."
In the column Of "locaI notices" ap-
pears the announcement that The
News Is the first newspaper printed
within the limits Of the proposed state
OF Jefferson" Flour is quoted as sell
ing at SIS per 100 pounds, and the an
nouncement is made that "the sum Of
800 has been raised to defray the
expense of exploring and marking a
new road to the states"
The editor apologies for his lack Of
eastern news by stating that "our ex-
changes and eastern letters are all
addressed to Fort L.aramie-the near
est postofice-and we have had no
opportunity of getting them since our
arrival
The jubilee number is devoted to a
review OF Colorado's development and
industries. Since 1890 The News has
been owned and edited by Thomas
Macdonald Patterson, who was sem
ator from Colorado between 1901 and
1907, and who is nationally known as

EstiFnated Production.

The estimated production based up
on the May condition figured in the
accepted way suggests a winter wheat
crop of 400,S27,000 bushels. Based up.
on the average ten-year shrinkage be-
tween May and July, the probabilities
suggest a total winter wheat crop of
379. 1903, 900 bushels. The average win
ter yield last year was 14.3 bushels
On the present acreage this would
mean crop of 39S,555, 900 bushels.
In 1907 the average yield was 14.6
bushels, and should the crop this sea-
son produce similar yield. the winter
wheat harvest would be 406, $4,000
bushels.
Drought has been particularly severe
upon the plants in the state OF Ohio,
where the acreage abandoned Is put
at is per cent, but the condition of the
crop during April made notable i'm
provement, showing betterment of
10 per cent. Texas lost 27.5 per cent
of the wheat area by dry weather and
the condition of the plants declined s
per cent last month. California re-
ports loss in area of 20 per cent and
a decline i'm condition OF IL per cent.
The other leading wheat states show
liberal reductions in acreage, while
the smaller wheat states show moder-
ate declines.
Condition by States.

ton of the crop in the principal states

He holds he Is right in denying the

The LEVITT stores are among the bus

The data covering the spring plow-
ing and seeding was somewhat dis
appointing. The report showed 64.1
per cent of the spring plowing com
pleted against 66.6 per cent on May /
last year. The proportion of planting
was estimated at 51.9 per cent. The
1908 report placed the seeding at SAT-
per cent. and in 1907 it was AZ per
cent. Unfavorable weather the latter
part of April retarded field work in
the spring wheat sections, but the
latest advices not covered by the gov
ernment has progressed quite rapidly
the last few warm days.
Moderate Rye Crop.
The rye crop is per cent below the
ten-year average and showed but a
slight Improvement from the April
report. The May condition Of SS.1
per cent suggests aIcrop OF 30,67s,400
bushels. The production in 1908 was

was 3l,566.000 bushels.

Drawing for Filings viii Take Place

Cheyenne Indians Now in Progress
Government Reserves the coal Lands

Pierre, s. ID, May 10.--The next op-
portunity for the land-hungry people
will be in the opening of a large por-
tion of the Cheyenne river and Stand
ing Rock Indian reservations In the
north central part Of this state. and
extending into North Dakota. The tract
to be opened is, roughly, 100 miles long
by fifty miles wide, with a strip of
eighteen miles wide extending eastward
for forty miles to the Missouri river:
comprising over 100000 acres of land.
This is one OF the best portions OF
northern South Dakota, and. unlike the
prairie east Of the Missouri river. is
well watered by numerous living
streams.
The territory to be opened is part OF
the county of Corson, all of Schansse.
and portions of Dewey and Armstrong
counties. The principal streams which
cross the territory are the Moreau and
Grand rivers. both flowing the year
round, with their numerous tributary
creeks, and the many tributaries of
Cherry creek in the southern portion
OF the tract. s 4-- .es
Topography of Country.
Generally, 1t is a rolling prairie,
somewhat rougher than the country
generally In the eastern part of the
state, but most OF 1t IS tillable land.
Along the Moreau the breaks are rath-
er abrupt, and at some places the
bluffs are SO steep that 1t is hard to
get down into the valley except at the
roads leading to the streams, which lie
several hundred feet below the general
surface of the country.
The breaks along the Grand river
are not SO abrupt, and approaches to
that stream are easy.
Along the northern line Of the state
the soil is black loan with "gumbo''
showing along the bluffs, but with
sand enough generally in the soil to
make it an excellent farming country,
and the heavy growth of grass all over
that section Of the state is an indica-
ton of what can be done in the way of
grain raising when the soil is turned
over for that purpose. The farming
operations which have been carried on
to a limited extent by. the Indians,
show what can easily be done with
proper farming methods. In the west
ern part the soil is sandy loan, and
lighter than along the northern border,
with no gumbo showing anywhere
along the streams. In the southwest
ern portion 1t is even more strongly
inclined to be a sandy soil.
Locating the indians.
The work of getting the Indian pop
ulation located has been under way
for the past three or fou years. The
work on the Standing Rock reserva-
tion, which was under charge of Agent
Carl Gunderson, was commenced first
and is al completed, and the govern
ment appraisal board is at work fixing
the minimum prices at which hte vari-
Gus tracts of land will be sold to the
homesteaders. .,s..,.a
