Meeting October
Twelfth.

New York. Sept. 13.-Tne continu-
ance OF the Hartman policies in the
management Of the Union Pacific.
Southern Pacific and chain o: allied
roads was made certain today when
Robert 8. Lovett. E. H. Harriman.s
personal counsel and friend was
elected to succeed Hartman at the
head Of the executive committee Of
the Union Pacific.
To strengthen further the domin-
ance Of the Hartman idea" jacob
II. Schih and William Rockefeller
both heavily interested in Hartman
enterprises-were elected directors
In place OF Hartman and the late H.
H. Rogers. and also were chosen to
places on the executive committee.
The Union Pacific still remains
without q president. as Hartman
occupied this position also. It is un-
derstood. however. that the operat-
ing man-probably L. F. Loree. pres
ident OF the Delaware & Hudson
will be elected to the place at the
annual meeting OF the stockholders
to be held Oct. IL. Proxies for this
meeting already In the hands OF r.
S. Lovett and Alexander Millar, SEC
rotary OF the Union Pacific. seem to
guarantee that the election will be
dictated by the Hartman interests.
The Office which Judge Loyett as
sumed today is the most important IN
the management and financial super
vision Of the Union Pacific. Lovett's
close association with Harri- an.
particularly during the last weeks Of
the latter's life. make him. In the
opinion Of Harriman's lieutenants,
particularly fitted to assume the re-
sponsibilities Of the position. He and
Loree. the slated candidate for the
presidency. share the honor Of close
familiarity with Harrimans plans
and dreams for the undeveloped ter
ritory In which he hoped to push the
ascendency of his railroad systems.

BiIlings.-Although threshing has
not advanced sufficiently to enable
the farmers to make q good estimate
OF the probable average OF wheat and

Of the state, reports which come from

that there Is every reason to believe
that the crop on the dry lands win be
Of the bumper variety.
One field in the Judith basin country
Is said to have yielded 81 bushels per
acre OF winter wheat. In the northern
part Of Yellowstone county the yield
Is equally heavy. and II Ia believed the
average will not fall short Of 80
bushels.
There Is = large acreage Of barley
which will produce on an average
about 40 bushels per acre, and 4 mum.
Der of farmers on the land above the
ditch state oats will show . yield Of
fully so bushels. Speltz. . grain which
makes a splendid food for stock, il
yielding from 20 to 10 bushels ON land
seeded for the first time.
Throughout the immense dry farm
Ing area Of Montana the farmers are
busily engaged in seeding a crop of
wheat which will far excel in acreage
any ever sown in the treasure state.
For weeks past monster steam plows
have been turning the soil at the rate
of 80 to 40 acres per day each, and
the result is but a beginning of what
will result in the next few years when
the success Of farming on so-called dry

wise maltreating Theodore Roosevelt.
and that the Panama articles in uues-
ton were but the result of this gem
eral policy.
1t is further infimated that the Pm.
Htzer responsibility is established in
smother way-viz, by the fact that he
is more or less close to the railroad
kings, his son, Ralph, having married
into the Vanderbilt family, and that
the railroads. especially those of the
transcontinental variety, are opposed
to the Panama canal, thus furnishing
an additional reason for printing the
articles complained Of However these
things be, Pulitzer Is the man they are
after, and II they do not succeed in
landing him behind prison bars it will
be due only to the fact that the Jury
renders some other kind of verdict.
From the double barreled action that
has been brought in New York and the
District of Columbia, from the digging
up of old and forgotten laws enacted
nearly a century ago. from the unusual
form of subpoenas served and from
the fact that the attorney general him
self is conducting the proceedings it is
evident that the administration will
leave NO stone unturned and no trick
