THE WEATHER AND CROPS.

People in this locality possibly have
not realized that the past week or ten
days has been n most critical time for
crops. Even a week ago the Bismarck
Tribune sounded the alarm for the east
ern portion of North Dakota, stating
that wheat was heading with a very
short straw which meant a greatly re-
duced crop. and the early part of the
present week was anything but favor
able.
On Monday mercury II Bismarck reg
istered at 103 degrees in the shade, 4
degrees warmer than was ever before
recorded in the month of June. 1t was
a little cooler on Tuesday, but the re-
ports from the Red River valley and
many parts of Minnesota were dis
couraging. In many places in Mime
sofa farmers were actually blowing
under their spring crops and %re-seeding
with the hope of getting more favorable
weather for a second crop.
The government gauge al the Dickin-
son experiment station for Monday gave
a record of 81 degrees, or E degrees
lower than the high mark recorded at
the same time at Bismarck. 1t was a
hot and disagreeable day, with a hot
wind blowing from the east and south
east. 1t cooled off during the night
and vas very comfortable on Tuesday,
with a maximum temperature of "a de-
grees. Sunday was also a warm day,
the record being 80 degrees, but in the
absence of wind it was not a particu-
larly d~isagreeable day.
The local government station has re-
corded 2.44 inches of rain for the period
June 8 to II inclusive. and it is this
timely rain which carried the crops of
this locality over a critical period. The
Dickinson station shows just about the
normal fall of rain for the spring Of
1910. distributed so as to do crops the
most good. 1t must be remembered
that the ground was unusually moist
from last falls rains, otherwise the
rains of the spring would have proved
insufficient. AS it is our farmers are to
be congratulated up to this time. But
the crop is not fully assured yet. More
rain will be needed by another week
and even then poorly prepared land will
give very small returns. a fact which is
already noticeable.
The section of country which seems so
much favored at present extends a good
distance north and south. west to a
point neal Glendive and east to the
Missouri river. although the crops do
not look as good in any part OF Morton
county as in Stark and east of Glen
Ullin most people say that half a crop
is all that can be expected.
Of course with soaking rains in the
next few days. grains in the drouth
stricken spots will be greatly revived
and many people will be lead to believe
that a fairly good yield is in store but
the story from the threshine machine in
these cases is always disappointing.
The lesson that the cutting short of a
full crop in so many localities of the
northwest this season, should be better
farming. 1t is needed. There are a lot
of people in Stark and adjoining count
les who call themselves farmers who are
not worthy of the name. In a dry sea-
o they would not get their seed back,
while good farmers who plow deep and
work the soil properly would be gettiug
average yields of grain.

SHORT ROUTE THROUGH TEXAS.
Southern Pacific to Build Extension
BeeVilIe-SpoffOrd.

Beeville, Tex, Oct. 26.-It is re-
ported that the Southern Pacific has
under consideration the construction
of an extension of its line from Bee
Vile west to a connection with the ov-
erland line of the system at Spofford.
The proposed extension will be about
225 miles long and will be in the ma
ture of a cutoff line, by which a new
and shorter route will be obtained
through Texas, connecting with the
existing overland line again at Rosen-
berg, short distance west of Houston
There has been talk of this for several
years. 1t is stated that the through
traffic between California and Calves
ton and New Orleans has increased so
much of late that it is necessary that
the Southern Pacific shall either dou-
| ble-track its present line between
Houston and Spofford or save big
part Of that expense by building the
225-n@le link in the proposed cutoff.
There has also been a wonderful de-
velopment of the local traffic of the
Southern Pacific, between Houston
and Spofford, and this, together with
the heavy through business, is almost
more than the road can handle on a
single track.
The proposed new short line will
run to the south of San Antonio about
one hundred miles, and it is said it
will be used chiefly for freight traf-
| ffc. 1t will penetrate n ranch territory
that is rapidly settling up with far
merS. There are several propositions
now on foot looking to the construc-
ton of Independent lines of road
through this same territory, and the
probability of the field being occupied
| by one or more of these lines is said
to be one of the things Fastening the
Southern Pacific with it's plans. Spot
ford is the junction point of the
branch line of the Southern Pacific
that runs down to Eagle Pass, where it
connects with the National Railways
of Mexico. The proposed cutoff linz
will give a shorter route to the east
for the Mexico traffic than by the ex-
listing route through San Antonio.

Lines Must Re Rebuilt Every %
or 30 Years.
This Necessary if Good Traffic
Is Maintained.
COST is IMMENSE.
Sixty.Six Million for Better
ments ON Santa Fe.
Other Items Of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

'The discussions of the railroad
problem indicate that it is not gener-
ally realized that railroads must
grow" said c. F. w. Felt, chief en-
gineer of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, in conversation
with a reporter for the State Journal
yesterday. Most of the railroad
building has been in a new or unde-
veloped country, having a very small
amount of business. Such conditions
warranted only the construction of
lines adapted to the lightest service
and of a minimum capacity. To have
built better lines would have loaded up
the companies from the start with an
increased interest charge for facilities
that would not be needed until the
country had developed more business.
GAS the country grows the increase
in business necessitates facilities of a
greater capacity, and more equipment;
demands better service which requires
a higher class of construction; de-
mands the addition of special facilities,
and the increase of a number of its
general facilities, for the convenience,
comfort and safety of patrons. Many
OF these facilities bring no revenue to
the company, but they increase the
cost of operation.

sons to stop, to look and listen before
crossing the tracks, was more imper-
ative in the case of automobiles than
horse-drawn vehicles. In the first
place, the peril of collision of trains
with automobiles is greater to the
general public than that of a train
with a carriage or wagon. Moreover,
the automobilist can run his machine
close to the track and there stop to
look in each direction for trains;
while if the driver of horses does that
he risks the danger of accident from
frightened horses.
1t might be added, the court says,
that an additional reason why the au-
tomobile should stop for looking and
listening is that if it keeps on run
ming it's occupants are unlikely to
hear the noise of an approaching
train, while those in carriages or wag-
ons can nearly always hear the trains
for a considerable distance. There
fore, the court held that for an auto
mobile driver to rush across a rail-
road grade crossing without stopping
to look and listen is contributory neg
Iigence. Moreover, the court stated
the fact that if automobile drivers
used the care, in this respect, that
the law demands. 1.-The possibilities of
automobile crossing accidents will be
minimized."

THREE SUSPECTS HELD
Dead and MutiIated Body of Woman
Found in Her Home.

Cincinnati, Oct. 26.-What promises
to be one of the most sensational and
mysterious murders committed in this
city in recent years was discovered
when the mutilated body of Mrs. Mary
Hackney was found in her home in
a remote part of the city,.
The young woman's throat had been
cut from ear to ear, her skull crush
ed and her body slashed in various
places.
The police called in Harley W. Hack
Dey, husband of the murdered woman,
and Charles Eckert, boarder in the
Hackney home, and questioned them.
The Hackneys were married in Lou
isville, KY. four years ago and re-
moved to this city, where he has been
employed as a lumber planer.
A third suspect was arrested later
when Herman Schwering, a colored
boy, who had been seen around the
Hackney home, was taken into custody
The husband, Eckert and the negro
boy were all locked I'D on suspicion.

ness, the company must build longer
passing tracks, more team tracks,
more industry tracks, larger district
and division terminal yards and larger
terminals at such places as Chicago,
Kansas City, Denver, Galveston, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and other i'm
portant centers; later on second main
tracks, more and larger depots and
platforms, more water and fuel facili-
ties, more shops and tools; and, of
course, more engines and cars, and it
must also widen its roadbed, ballast
its track. lay heavier rails and put in
heavier bridges.
Better service in the way of quick
er and more frequent trains requires
better tracks, more and longer passing
tracks and the earlier double tracking
of main lines, the addition of inter-
lockers at railroad crossings and block
or automatic signals generally.
1.-The class of expenditures for the
public generally consists of such items
as improved drainage on account of
the building up of towns and cities
and the Improvement of the country
adjacent to the railroads, paving and
sidewalks on street crossings or ada
cent to the railroads, the construction
of SubWayS or viaductS for roads or
city streets, track elevation through
the larger places and the building OF
expensive ornate stations instead OF
simple, plain substantial structures.
1.-THE result is that the main line OF
a railroad that has been built twenty
five or thirty years has cost two, three
or more times it's original cost, and
even the branch lines have required
considerable expenditures.
THE extent of this necessary growth
is shown by the Santa Fe budget fig
ures for the next two years that were
submitted to the interstate commerce
commission at its recent hearing If
Chicago. That budget for additions
and betterments, not including equip,
ment, for the next two years was
sixty-six million dollars which consid.
cred by itself looks very large, al.
though it represents only about IL pei
cent for the next two years, or u
per cent per year on the cost of the
road which is a very conservative
rate of growth, when compared will

SCROFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofu1a is a disease manifested
usually by swelling and liberation
Of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofu1a usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood NAV
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. SIS. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofu1a. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition to
