RAILROAD ESTIMATE
of Northwest
ern Says Crops Value
Shows Gain.
IN SPOTS
Eastern and Southern Parts
of the State Are in
Fine Shape.

Pierre, s.. D.-Superintendent
Moulton of the Chicago & Northwest
ern road, has just made a tour of
all the lines of that road east of the
Missouri river in the state, and in
his opinion, the state will harvest
fully Is per cent of an average crop;
and barring hail or early frosts, will
harvest fully an average corn crop;
in fact in his estimation a better one
than for last year. While there are a
few spots east of the river where the
drouth was severe. ana the crop very
short, they are small in extent as
compared with the whole state, and
in many other locations the crop is
ahead of what it was last year, which
will go a long way toward keeping
up the average. He. reports the east
ern and southern part of the state to
be in. fine shape. An area between
Cayour and DeSmet has been hard hit
North of Redfeld up as far as the
St"eC iAS nv Slop VIII VIZ ShCi eA-
cept in a circle about Columbia where
it is above the average. While the
straw is Shorten that part of the state
the grain heads are we'll filled and
the grain of a good ~"'itv. Mr..
Moulton thinks the 1a11rners of the
state will secure even a greater cash
return for their crop of this year,
than for that of last year
Off the lines of the road, the Mis-
souri, valley in this part of the state
has commenced it's oat harvest, and
some good samples are being brought
in from the fields. The country north
from central Sully county through
Potter and Walworth is reported to
be making a better showing than it
has for several years. West of the
Missouri there are local spots where
the crop is practically a failure, one
of those being along Bad river from
Fort Pierre to Midland. Another bad
section is in the extreme northwest
part of the state including a large
part of Harding and Perkins coun-
ties. Other spots west Of the river
which received timely showers re-
port better crops than for last year.
The crop estimates have not in the
the past taken much consideration
of the country west of the river out
side of the Black Hills section, and
any gain shown in that part of the
state will be in the shape of a gen.
eral gain for the state.
The wheat crop of last year was
40 1000 bushels, and the corr
crop S6,O00,000. bushels, and the
estimates for this year would place
the wheat at 3O,OOO,oOO bushels, and
the corn practically up to last years.

HOW A RAILROAD
MEETS SUDDEN
EMERGENCIES

Several persons who happened to
be in PittEburg a few Sundays ago
witnessed an incident which threw
a very interesting side-light on the
almost lir,itiess possibilities of hign-
class railroad service under modern
conditions.
Two of the party--a newspaper
man and a we'll known Chicago
broker happened to be in conversa-
ton with one of the traffic officials
Of the Pennsylvania. Suddenly
there entered on the scene a wild
eyed individual who announced him
self, between gasps, as the special
representative of a theatrical COM
pany which had missed train con-
nections for Chicago, but which had
20 be in that city in time for an
evening performance.
The traffic man asked two or three
leading questions In about the same
number of seconds, got a complete
grasp of the situation, and arranged
for a special train in another instant.
Within half hour special train,
consisting of 3 baggage cars, 2
coaches and 2 sleepers pulled out or
the Pittsburg yards. It carried sc
passengers in addition to all the
baggage of the company, and a din
ing car was added at Ft Wayne.
The two Chicagoans, who had
been permitted to travel on the
train, were very much impressed
with the smoothness and ease with
which the whole thing was done.
Notwithstanding the presence at the
Pittsburg station of four score of ex-
cited people, all demanding to know
different things at once, the work
of making up and loading the train
proceeded with the utmost swiftness.
The necessary right-of-way orders
were dispatched and there was not
q single hitch during the entire run.
1t was an example of the marvel
GUS facilities of modern railroad
organization in the matter of meet
ing unexpected emergencies, which
certainly opened the eyes of all who
witnessed It.

PARTING RED SEA-"

You'd be surprised to know how
resourceful some of the photograph
ers are today. There is film which
has lately been sent out all over the
country that marks the climax in the
art of motion picture taking. +
don't believe one man in a thousand
who sees it will have the least idea
how It was done. 1t represents the
flight of the children of Israel, and
gives the scene where Moses waved
his wand and the Red Sea parted.
The man who took the picture
spent 12 hours on the Red Sea sec
ton alone. He singled out a spot
on the shore OF Long Island where
there was a sandbar which was out
of water at low tide, and under
water at high tide. He started at
high tide, and took, say, a score OF
pictures of the sean as it looked
then. After % minutes, he reeled
off another 90 and Is minutes later
he did the same. Thus at the end
of six hours he had a film showing
the changes for every uarter of an
hour At the end of that time the
tide had receded so that the sandbar
could be SEEN Then he called In
the supers and had them walk across
the bar while he took their picture.
That was only half the work Later
in the day, when the tide began to
rise, he returned and began again TO
take a few pictures every / 5 min
utes AT the end of six hours the
water had risen to where It was
when he began We had some doubt
as 10 how the film would come out,
we didn't know whether the tide,
when photographed that way, would
give the desired effect of sea part
