RAILROAD HEADS CHEERFUL
Hill and Schaff on Conditions in
Northwest and Southwest.

James j. Hill said yesterday that con-
ditions in the Northwest are better than
they were year ago, but owing to the
high money rate in the East railroads
should exercise extreme caution in max
ing Gnancia. commitments just now.
"In the Northwest" he added, the
banks are lending money TO farmers TO
encourage the raising of livestock. We do
not want TO encourage land speculation.
II may be a good thing for our farmers
not TO raise so much wheat They should
turn their attention TO coarse grains, Ike
oats and barley. Let them feed their sur
Mus of these grains to their livestock
C. r. Schaff, president OF the missouri
Kansas g. Texas Railroad, was even more
cheerful than Mr. Hin. He said: wall
Street IL the only blue place nave struck.
In the Southwest the fields are green and
people arc cheerful. kansis Is predicting
a 100000 bushel wheat crop ana con
servatiye authorities in Texas look for at
least 100000 bales of cotton this year
Soil conditions are very satisfactory ana
both wheat and oats look well throughout
