It's Movement Westward Has Been
Steadily Increasing.
With favorable weather conditions
the new wheat area of eastern Mon
tana, western North Dakota. western
central South Dakota. western central
Nebraska. western Kansas and eastern
Colorado, all in the senliarid region,
can produce from 100000 to 10000
900 bushels more wheat than ever
before. That is, the country may
absolutely gain that much, for this
increased area is not in wheat at the
expense of some other locality.
Last season the crop was light in
the semiarid region because Of drought.

In the northwest, in the dry coun-
try" the ground is In perfect condi-
ton, which will insure large acre
age in spring wheat
But few years ago the western and
northwestern counties of Kansas were
beyond the wheat country. The west
ward trend of wheat has been so steady,
however, that now. with sufficient mois-
ture, several of the group Of northwest
ern counties will raise million to
million and half bushels each. Chey-
enne county, in the extreme northwest
ern corner of Kansas, has a sufficient
area in wheat to produce over half
million bushels. In western central
Nebraska and South Dakota the west
ward trend of wheat has brought about
the same remarkable change. Given fa-
vorable conditions this season, these two
states will take more important posi-
ton among the wheat producers than
ever before and by reason Of new acre
age in the semiarid region.
Last season North Dakota had a
remarkable increase in wheat acre

the traveller over the Northern Pacific
or the Great Northern can form no
conception of the area under cultiva-
ton. At some small stations-New
Salem or Glen Ullin, on the Northern
Pacific. for instance-the traveller will
see two or three fields and waste
of drear, brown hills suggesting lone

ture. Yet there may be marketed at
each of these stations and others like

wheat. Where does it come from?

the whole great country west Of the
Missouri and north of the Northern
Pacific has been and is being brought
under cultivation. In eastern Montana
it is the same. but with the difference
that irrigation and dry farming meth
DDS are making the crops more sure.
| And this is the country hardly yet
known to the grain trade and not at
all to the outside world.

Preponderance of Evidence.

A clear preponderance of the evidence
shows: That indecent questions were put
to girls and which they were required to
answer under penalty of being confined
to a cell.
That the punishments inflicted we're
often cruel and sometimes even inhuman.
That the food furnished the inmates
was often unWholesOme and insufficient
while the table of the superintendent was
supplied with the best the market Of
forded.
That the superintendent reprimanded
his assistant Captain Kneass, and Mr.
Scott and attempted to have the former
discharged because they declined to call
boys of the school late at night TO take
care of a horse which his son had been
driving for his own pleasure and not on
any business connected with the school
That the cells in which inmates were
confined were ursanitary, not alone from
being in the basement. but because they
were allowed to become unclean and filled
with foul doors
That the superintendent was grossly
negligent in having the girl. Henrietta
Coyle, removed from the school to the
hospital in the city in an open spring
wagon in cold weather, instead of calling
an ambulance.
That an examination of the bills al
lowed and paid to T. B. Evans & Co.
while Mr. Evans was a member of the
