FRUIT KILLED
Kansas Growers Fear Total Loss
ON Fruit Crop. Great Cattle
Loss IN Texas.

crops. "On account Of the sudden
weather changes this spring the ap-
pies and some other fruit have bios
somed very unevenly," said Walter
Wellhouse, secretary of the Kansas
Horticultural society and one Of the
largest apple growers in the state.
All OF the buds that were open and
exposed were killed by the frost. It
is possible that those buds which
opened last week and fertilized and
from which the petals have dropped
vera not hurt much, 5and there may
be enough of thsss to make pretty
fair crop. We cannot.t tell how much
damage there has been. In the
southern part Of the state where
most Of the fruit had blossomed and
fertilized lido not look for so much
damage as in this section. -
May, /, 1909. was the coldest that
has ever been recorded BY. the United
States weather office here, for May
weather. This morning the ther-
mometer registered % degrees above
zero, and this Is the lowest recorded
temperature at any time after April
20 since the weather bureau was es.
tablished in Topeka.
Texas Cattle Losses.
dispatches to the Drovers Tele-
gram from Texas, say that heavy
losses of cattle have occurred from
lack Of grass. In certain counties in
Southwest Texas the range is COM
pletely dried up. A recent arrival
from Kansas, who has been shipping
from Texas says:
''Never before In the history of
that section of the state have they
had such incessant winds as they
have experienced this spring, Each
day OF the month spent In those
counties the wind blew hurricane.
The ground seems parched, and not
a spear. of grass or green vegetation
can be found. They wonder that
any cattle are left alive, but they
have lived along SO far fairly we'll.
Now they are beginning to die of
everywhere.
The country has wind mills and wa
ter as a rule. In the vicinity Of these
water tanks, dead cows are strewn
about and little calves dead and alive.
There is little show for the calf crop
In that district. In some places cat.
tlemen have been shipping In cotton
seed meal and have sustained their
cattle by feeding them on that.
ssSeveral attempts have been made
to ship out the cows, but with very
heavy losses. The cows are so thin
and weak that they are not able to
stand the trip, and get down In the
cars and die. Of course ! good rain
in that country would at once start
grass and vegetation. and then csttle
would como along al right, but .
continuation any length Of time of
the present conditions will mean very
hsavy losses. In my shipment Of over
a, 900 steers but four died. Jon. the way.
These steers are thin, but seem to- be
in pretty good shape. otherwise. OF
course no crops have been put in, in
the dry district, as nothing can grow
till rain comes. = sPss1

leading business men Of Chicago.
They desire to meet the merchants
and have. the opportunity Of calling
upon them. and also nave them repay

tv that same warm welcome that the
Jamestown people always do to

BUSY CONTRACTORS
Large Force of Men and Teams Az.
! semblinx for Mott Extenslon.
Right Of Way Progress.

7: bismarck Ir1Dune-COntf2CtOYS are
Retting ready for work on the new
i lines Of the Northern Pacific across
the river, and Mandan promises to
be busy place ior the next few
months. "A quantity Of building ma
.terial, steam shovels, and other ap-
paratus will probably be taken down
the river by steam boats, to begin
work at the other. end OF the line.
One Of the items Of building expense
will be the purchase Of $500, 200 worth
of oats for horse feed, to sustain the
horses that will be used In the 100
miles Of road built by the road. This
gives some idea of the money that
will be spent for different purposes.
The Mott Pioneer Press, May 8,
says: The contract let to Peter Sims
and Go. st. Paul, and sub-let to Por-
ter & WEIGH, embraces l6O miles Of
grade-lA of which extends from
Mandan to Mott, via. Cannon Ball
and 5the balance extends south from
the natter place to Fort Yates. The
work Involves the excavation of g.
600, 600 cubic yards of dirt. This is
the largest contract the N. P. has
made for several years and extensive
preparations are being made all along
the proposed route for the conven-
fences Of the contractors and accom-
mediation of the officials and field
men in the employ Of the Mp. Two
year leases are being made at, Man.
dan for buildings to be occupied by
the employees Of the road and there
is every indication that the road will
be bnilt beyond Mott via. Horswill
and New England soon after its COM
pletion to Mott.
Representatives of Porter & Welch
were here last week purchasing sup
plies for their men and horses and
stated that they would give employ
I.ment to as many men and horses as
they could get in this vicinity. \
! The contractors are expected at
Mott the 6rst Of next week to COM
mence operations on the first 40 miles
or the west half of the line between
Mott and Cannon Ball and the work
will be pushed to completion as fast
as possible. g,
Mr.. Than, chief of .the resident
engineers, has his headquarters at
Mott and is directing the work from
this end Of the line. His large force
certainly presents q busy scene along
the line Of survey. :
Right of Way Agent Stone reports
all of the right of way thru the coun.

the line thru the following tracts
which are owned by non.residents:

Of 2-l33.9l. These contracts will be
closed at once as Mr.. Stone received
hurry up wire Wednesday regarding
the matter.
Land Commissioner Cooper of the
N. p. states that 1t was his roads In
tention to adhere as much as possible
to the wishes of the people at Mott
as to location of depot and switches
and in ali probability the depot would
be q little north and east of the court
