Tower Complete.

The Gary water tower which has been
in course of construction for the past
year is now completed and the scaffoid-
ing has been torn down so that a gen
eral idea of the appearance of the great
structure can be obtained for the first
time. An iron structure containing
100000 gallons of water has been en-
cased in concrete in appropriate de-
sign so that it presents a beautiful ap-
pearance. The tower is eighty feet
high and will be used to advertise the
city both day and night by a huge cleo
trio sign board which will be placed on
the top with the words Gary in letters
that can be seen from all directions for
miles. The work of concreting around
the tower was done by George Rackles
& Company. of Cleveland.

Corn No Longer Dark Horse Looks Fair

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. g.
The highest temperature that ha.
prevailed since 1901 wrought
damage to the extent Of many
millions of dollars in the south.
west last week.
The effect of this bligbtine
drouth is most evident through
the corn belt OF Kansas and Ok
lahoma.
1t was estimated Judy 1 that
the crop in this district would
reach 24S,500,000 bushels. The
heat has reduced this estimate
all the way from a fourth to a
third, and in some counties of
Oklahoma from 25 to SO per cent.
The northern half of Oklahoma
seems to be the hardest hit. This
would seem to reduce Oklahoma's
prospects from 146,00O,O00 bush
els to all the way from 100000
to 130,000,000. The winds burns
only hit in parts of Kansas.
Corn in tassel is generally
killed, and the small late plants
are badly hurt. The intermediate
growth seems to be faring the
best and is resisting the drouth.
There is moderate damage to
'orn In Nebraska and Iowa, rains

having afforded considerable re-
lief. Nebraska has prospects for
27O. 100000 bushels of corn, and
Missouri for 257, 100000.
Iowa has been having provident
rains and her chances are good. 1t
looks like a crop of $4,000, 900
bushels in that state. Illinois
hopes for 456,00O,000 bushels,
and Indiana 171,O00,0O0 bushels.
The bumper crops in states not
touched by the heat waves will
more than overcome the loss in
Oklahoma and Kansas. For the
seven states of Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Iowa and Texas, the estimate for
the 1910 corn crop is 1872, 0OO,-
900 bushels, a total increase of
100000 bushels over the
1909 crop.
AS for wheat, the southwest
ern acreage has heavily increased,
and the result of the thrashings
in each of these states is exceed
ing expectations. The quality is
excellent, and any wheat losses in
the northwest are probably more
than made good here.

Negroes DISTINGUISHED
In Oklahoma Election

GUTHRIE, Okla, Aug. s.
Fourteen thousand negroes will
be kept from the polls at the fall
elections, 1t is estimated, as O
result of the ratification at the
primaries yesterday of the consti-
tutional amendment limiting the
franchise. The amendment is
similar to the famous Grand
father" clause of the constitutions
Of many southern states. 1t is
declared that thousands of ne
groes will be unable to comply
with its provisions.
The ratification of the amend
ment was the biggest question in
the elections. Returns today from
all parts of Oklahoma are over
whelmingly in favor of the amend
ment. This is believed to indi-
cate that the fall elections will be
won by the democrats. The DEM
ocrats favored the disfranchise-
ment clause and the republicans
opposed 1t.
The result of the primary, it is
declared, indicates that the re-
publicans are already outnumber-
ed by the democrats, and the dis
reimbursement of the negroes will
take away a great part of the re-
publican strength, leaving the
state more of a democratic strong
hold than ever.

NORTHWEST WHEAT BoeEY FLATrENs OUT

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 8.
The first samples of new
spring wheat received on local
markets from the heart of the
drouth district show surprisingly
better results than expected.
The grain was not only of a
higher grade than usual, but it
turned out IL bushels to the
acre, while the estimates few
days ago were three to eight
bushels per acre.
The first samples may not be
typical Of the entire drouth dis
trict, but generally, estimates of
damage are being steadily re-
duced as harvest approaches.
From estimates on a 70 per cent
loss, the figures have been re-
vised, so that the production in
Minnesota is now estimated at rs
to 80 per cent of normal, with
South Dakota and North Dakota
somewhat lower.
