tions are that there will be a material
reduction in the shipments of wheat

OUTLOOK
NEVER known
N. D. Gillespie Returns From
Trip Through State and
is Enthusiastic.

Fargo. June 5.-W. D. Gillespie re-
turned yesterday from a trip out In
the western part of the state. visiting
Williston. Ray, Stanley and Minot and
reports that section of the state in a
very fine condition and the business
years.
AT Williston the streets were ankle
deep in mud after a very heavy rain,"
said MIR. Gillespie. ut rained so much
that the big irrigation plant has not
been started yet. but the s%uperinten-
dent is on the ground and the plant
will be started up very soon.
THE rains have been SO heavy that
every slough and lake and every low
place in the fields are filled with wa
ter. and the work of the farmers has
count. but in spite of this the acreage
in Williams county will be doubled
this year and hat section will boom.
AT Ray the business men are feel
ing very optimistic and are stocking
up very heavily in view of the bounti-
full harvest they anticipate"
MIR. Gillespie spent several days at
Ray as he has a large farm In the cele-
brated Golden valley, northeast of
in of his crops.
There are twelve gasoline and sin
steam blowing outfits working in the
vicinity of Ray and the prairie is fast
being turned into fine farms and
homes" he said.
Ray is doing hings this summer
and is one of the best towns In that
section of the state.
Contracts nave been let for a OF
of new cemen sidewalks, an up-to-
date electric light plant is being in
stalled, the telephone system is being
extended and new mail routes are be-
ing established and everyone is as busy
as possible. Several farms have
changed hands in the past two months
and at good prices.
Story of a Farm.
"a farm that l bought in 1904 for
$500 and sold 1906 for $1,000, vas
sold for $4,000. and sold again this
spring for $4,250. The farmers were
all very busy finishing up barley and
flax seeding and the acreage around
Ray will be increased this year 200
per cent.
lat White Earth the Great Northern
is making very extensive improve
ments through the town, Strengthening
out the track and raising it about ten
feet. They have four steam shovels at
work, and a large crew of men and
the work will be completed October
L."
At Stanley Mr.. Gillespie found the
same optimistic spirit, and in CONVEX
sing with some of the business men
found a very fine outlook for the COM
ing season, although the work OF the
farm was delayed by the very heavy
rains.
