JUDGE Bolts GIVES
OUT STATEMENT ABOUT
ELECTRIC RAILROAD
THE ANSWER TO THE QUES-
TIoN WHAT is THE MATTER
WITH THE ELECTRIC LINE? is
GIVEN TO THE PUBLIc-PEoPL
ARE TO BLAME.
Judge says if people had paid the
$4,000 mile they had subscrib-
ed the Company would not owe
anything on the road.

l
Judge w. w. Bolts, of the Board o
Directors of the M. s. F. and p.
r.. Co., gave out a statement, We'd
nes6ay, in which he answers the
questions concerning the troubles of
the Electric Road Co. He said:
"The following statement of facts
in regard to the Electric r. R. is due
the Public and will perhaps answer
the question so otter asked What
is the matter with the Electric road
Company
The first five miles of the road
constructed, including the right
ofway, power plant and several
miles South graded but not completed
COST approximately $4,000, OF this
amount the bond subscribers paid a.
bout $4,000, the members of the com,
pany about $4,000 and about $1,000 r
mains unpaid.
\ THE s miles constructed by the
Fruin-Bambrick Co. cost according to
their account about $4,000. OF this a
mount the subscribers have paid a.
bout $4,000, the Directors paid a
bout $4,000 leaving balance un-
paid of about $4,000. I am giving
the figures in round numbers that
they may be more easily retained in
memory.
'If the people had paid the $4,000
to the mile that they subscribed we
would not owe anything on the first
five miles. II they had paid the $1,000
to the mile subscribed on the last
s miles constructed they would have
paid $4,000 whereas they have only
paid less than $4,000, we would in
stead OF owing the Construction Co.
$4,000 owe them less than $4,000.
ut seems to me the proper ques-
'Vtion to ask is;'what is the matter
with the seoGls.'
9lf these subscriptions were paid
we would have no trouble with the
Construction Co. They have ample
security for the rest, and we would
have no trouble about further con-
structlon.
Personally, I'm willing to ad-
Iimit that much of the trouble Of
our Company is due to bad man
agement end it may be that bad man

The following crop report was is
Esued to-day from the office Of t.
C. Wilson. Secretary of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture:
June was month of intense heat
and drouth, and approximately 100
of the ia counties in the State are
now greatly in need of rain. Dur
ing the last ten days about dozen
counties in the southeastern and
southern sections OF the State have
had sufficient rainfall. but these are
the exception In other parts Of
fthe state except in limited locations.
the dry weather continues, scatter
ing showers having Brought no per-
manent improvement. Higher tenn
peratures than previously recorded
for corresponding dates In many
years are reported.
corn.-To-day Missouri stands to
make or lose one of the best corn
crops in her history. With plenty
of rain from now on, an immense
yield is assured, fields being free
from weeds and well worked. But
with continued dryweather during
July there will be no pyrotechnic per.
formances Ito use a Fourth OF July
phrase) except that the August re-
port will show that corn condition
has fallen like a sky-rocket stick.
Condition of corn is now 83.6. ona
month ago, 85.6; one year ago, when
there was still SOME corn to plant
owing to the wet June, 75O; ten
year average, s2.5. A favorable ear
ly spring, coupled with persistent an
proper cultivation, has almost enable
corn to hold its own up to this time.
The acreage planted is $40 per cent
short. as compared with last years
crop. but the wheat stand is much
better.
Wheat.-Wheat harvest is re.
,markably early. 96 per cent of the
harvest having been completed, with
more than half the correspondents
reporting threshing well under way.
Ninety-seyen per cent of the 1884,
600 acres seeded last fall will be
harvested, as compared with S6.1
last year. The preliminary estimate
on yield is 14,S bushels per acre;
last year, 1872. Quality of new crop
is placed at 81. Straw is fine and |
is being saved for feed. Much will
be- baled
oats.-Dry, hot weather, practi-
cIlly ruined oats. never an import
ant money crop in Missouri. Con-
dition of part-79 per cent-not har-
vested is Al; part long enough to
harvest with binder, 40 per cent;
part that has been or will be cut

is almost an entire failure over most
of the state and even in the most
