The Field OF Business.

Extraordinarily iayorahie crop re-
ports continue 60 augment the opti-
mistic feeling now prevailing in all
department. of trade. Last weeks
reports from Minnesota and the Da-
kotas indicated that the spring wheat
crop would break all records for yield
per acre. Another week will put this
crop out OF danger in the northwest.
General rains throughout the corn
belt have placed that crop in excellent
condition to take advantage of pros
pcctile hot weather. The good news
from growing crops and reports Of
large early shipments Of harvested
grain served to send board of trade
quotations down all along The line.
lnduslrially the iron and steel in
arstry holds the center Of the stage.
The tendency toward higher prices
for finished products became stronger
last week and was accompanied by
some voluntary increases of wages.
Gains OF cash from the interior have
swellcd the Golfers OF the New York
banks and have contributed to easier
rates for loans. Active demand for
funds in many lines of business and
the prospect Of an unusually early
call for cash for crop moving warrant
the impression that bargain rates for
money are Il thing of the past.
Securities prices moved up a lew
notches last week, although the vol
ume of transactions was not large,and
no indication OF an awakening OF in
terest on the part of the public was
observed. Probably there was a lit
tie manipulation with the idea OF
making stock quotations reflect some
of the optimism prevailing in business
circles generally.
Bank clearings last week aggregat'
ep S3.l66,0O0,0OO, compared to S3,4iO
O0O.OOO the previous week, and S3,294
600 600 the corresponding week last
wear. Collections were reported slow
in spots, but exceptionally good IN
the northwest.

Have Ferry Boat in Operation.

Last weeks Draper Democrat tells
us that the Draper commercial club
have finished the ferry boat and plac-
ed in operation in the White river at
Anderson's crossing. However, the
river is SO low that the boat could run
only few feet before touching bot
tom, so it is up to those wishing to
cross during low water to ford the
river, but during high water the ferry
will come in very handy. The boat is
connected with cables to a larger cable
fastened on each bank OF the stream,
IN such a way that the force of the
current pushes the boat either way as
the short cables are shortened OIL
heightened.

Why Not Organize q Grange?

Right at the present time, when the
country is in the course Of settlement
crop raising mystery TO the new anc
inexperienced settler, and many per
picking questions arising, is mighty
good time to organize a Farmers
Grange. State Master,G. Il. Malone
lives up at Draper, only thirty.fv'
miles away and probably could be in.
duced 10 take personal supervision in
getting It going in good shape.
A town, when il wants 20 do things
organizes 4 commercial club, which
body handles any subject that is ion
the best interest Of the town. What
the commercial club is to the town
so is the grange to the farmers, only
more 20. Following are a few reasons
why grange should be organized:
Because il is the farmors' only or
%anization national in character.
Because il has stood the test for
thirtv-two years, and has never been
found wanting il any respect.
Because il has exerted greater in
hucncc in securing state and national
legislation in the interest of agricul-
ture than any agency in the country.
Because it i oiiicered by those en-
gagged in agriculture, who know from
experience the needs of farmers, and
are sincere in their desire to aid them
in every possible way.
Because it is the duty Of farmers to
cooperate with one another, if they
would successfully meet the influence
of organization in every direction, and
secure for wife aud home a fair share
OF what the harvest yields.
Because it has eSerted the greatest
influence known in breaking up the
isolation Of farm life.and making farm
life attractive to the boys and girls.
bringing sunshine and happiness into
the farm home TO such an extent as
has never before existed.
Because it is Inexpensive.
As several heads are better than one
when all work in unison, as the
social part Of tho grange furnishes
entertainment to relieve the monotony
Of farm life. as it is inexpensive, why
not organize a Farmers Grange at
Wood. the best town in the new coun-
ties. The business men will do all in
their power to help.
