COMPARISONS FAVORABLE IN

New York, July 2aR. Q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly review of trade says
Comparisons of the volume of current busi
ness with results at 0*e corresponding date in
previous jears are so uniformly favorable that
the outlook can only be regarded with confi
dence. Semi-annual statements are now suf
ficiently complete to make it certain that the
first half of 1906 was the most prosperous sis
months period in the nation's history, and.
Unless heavj cancellations occur, the last half
Of the yeai will esnbllsh a still higher record.
Contracts come fon\aid freelj in the iron and
teel industry, the only idleness being due to
repairs necessitated by the vigor with which
production has been pushed, and footwear fac
tories are receiving orders for delivery nest
February, while even the textile mills report
that purchasers have ceased efforts to secure
moie attractive terms Complaints pf inade
quate labor supply are universal. Building
operations are extensive and would be much
greater if the cost of labor and materials had
not caubed the abandonment of many plans
Abide from a little too much rain in some
cotton stages, the week's crop news is encour
aging, and grain will soon be out of danger.

In laige numbeis, placing orders freely and

Export Trade Increasing.
New Ycuk, Julv 28.Bradstreet's summaiy
of export tiade says The heavy movement of
wlntei wheat to market, while tending to some
ease in prices has a favorable side when the
expoit business Is considered Reports are that
a large future business in this direction has al
read* been booked An lnteiesting sidelight on
tl pessimistic predictions cunent some time
ago ab to the meat trade, is found in advkes
fn hicago that cattle and hog prices are at
the highest point of the jear. Railway traffic
returns point to an unpiecedentedly heavy vol
nine of business offering. Export trade on
the iron and steel keeps up smprisingly well,
this being made possible probably by excellent
trade in foieign uiaikets.

HIDES,PELTS,TALLOW,WOOL REVIEW OF THE MARKET BY THE NORTH
WESTERN HIDE & FUR 00.
The hide market is strong at slightly Im
proved prices. The hides now coming in, being
short-haired, are of the choicest quality ana
will remain so until late in the fall. Shippers
are urged to salt thoroly and have them quite
well cured before shipping, as careless tatt
ing will result in their grading No. 2 or glue
quality. To convert goood hides into glue
stock for the want of one-third the weight in
salt, is a waste. The Chicago Hide & Tallow
Bulletin of July 26 says. '"One large sale of
wool Is reported. Aside from tills, it is vir
tually a dead one All propsects are that the
present conditions of the local market will con
tinue well into the month of August. No
change in values, everything remains in the buy
er's favor." The same condition pie vails here
there is no buying at all by the eastern mills
or their agents, they seem to bo waiting until
the wool goes lower, as they consider It too
high. With such a maiket, the dealers do not
know what to pay. They cannot see cost out
of that which they have received on consign
ment. It seems that on what they have bought,
expecting to make 1 or 2 cents a pound on.
thev will lose on. It is natural for the wool
grower to want the best possible prices, but
it shows there is a limit to the high level to
which prices can be shoved up, and it is veiy
evident now that prices were put too high last
year. The result was that manufacturers pur
chased larger quantities abroad then in any
previous year since there has been a tariff on
wool, and now we are feeling the effects of that
laige buying abroad.

TOWN HAS BRIGHT FDTDRE
CROSBY FLIRTS WITH TWO RAIL
ROADS AND SECURES ADVAN-
TAGEOUS CONCESSIONS.
Special to The Journal.
Crosby, N. IX, July 28.It now ap-
Srortheo
ears be settled that the Great
will extend its branch from
Berthold thru northern Williams county
this season and that Crosby will be its
terminal.
Whether or not the Great Northern
intended to follow up its survey with
actual construction hast been a question
of much concern, especially to the busi
ness interests of Crosby, which, as the
trade cenier of northern Williams
county, has assumed considerable
growth.
The Soo has a road graded thru this
section from Flaxton on its main line
and the laying of rails on this has be
gun. The road, however, does not en
ter Crosby, but passes about a mile and
a half to the north, and the company,
taking it as granted that the town
would move, platted a new Crosby
townsite, two and n, half miles northeast
of the present site.
When the sale of lots was open'ed
about two weeks ago it was found that
the business men had formed a com
pact, and refused to buy, giving to the
officials a prepared statement of their
objections and dissatisfaction. As a
result the sale was declared off and a
new site selected half a mile nearer,
which is being platted and which will
be without many of the objectionable
features of the former.
The leading motive, howeyer, back of
the objections of the business men
seems to have been to defer action un
til definite knowledge could be had rel
ative to the intention of the Great
Northern.
On Wednesday Messrs. R. E. Tate,
engineer, and C. H. Babcock, land com
mispsioner of the Great Northern, ar
rived and settled the matter in the
minds of the people by selecting a site
for terminal purposes, and, at a called
mass meeting, giving assurances that
the road would be built and in opera
tion this year.
The new townsite will be a mile and
a half east of Crosby's present location
and two miles south of the proposed
Soo Crosby townsite. As the Soo is
built only six miles south of the inter
national boundary line and the Great
Northern only two miles south of the
Soo, in this county, the obiect of the de
lay of the Great Northern seems ob
vious to many, and with a rich agricul
tural country lying to the south it is
felt that the towns along its line will
be prosperous trade centers.
HAHRIMAN BORROWS $10,000,000
Wall Street Is Curious to Know What
Will Be Done with It.
Special to The Journal.
New York, July 28.It has become
known in# Wall street that the Union
Pacific railroad recently borrowed $10,-
000,000, and that it is one of several
instances of heavy borrowings by the
company in the last few months. The
last loan was for six months at 5%
per cent. What the terms of thepre
vious loans were has not been made
known nor their exact amount.
What Wall street wants to know is,
what this money was used for and why
it was necessary for the Harriman in
terests to borrow at all.
The general belief was that the
treasury of the Union Pacific was in a
well filled condition. When the North
ern Securities company was dissolved
by order of the supreme court, there
came into possession of the Union Pa
cific large noldings of Great Northern
and Northern Pacific securities. TheiT
sale would have provided the Union
Pacific with a vast amount of cash.
Now the question has arisen, what
has become of the money from those
securities, and also what is being done
with the large sums borrowed in the
last few months.
There is a suspicion that much of this
money has been expended not only in
Illinois Central purchases, but in Atchi
son, Northern Pacifie and Great North
ern deals, and there was expressed a
feeling that an attempt was being made
to secure for the Union Pacific system
an important, if not controlling voice
in Illinois Central and Atchison which,
with the South Pacific would extend
the influenceof the Harriman system
to an extent that few had suspected.
WATERLOO GIVES IT UP
Town Decides It Can Get Along With
out New Road.
Special to The Journal.
Waterloo, Iowa, July 28.The offi
cials of the Anamosa & Northwestern
railroad are standing pat on their first
demand of the city of Waterloo. En
gineer Lacock submitted a proposition
on behalf of citizens of Waterloo to
the railroad committee, in which was
offered a smaller amount than was origi
nally demanded by the promoters, and
the proposition was turned down.
The officials insist upon having the
right of way and terminals in Waterloo
before building. It was further stated
that if Waterloo wanted the road it
have to hurry and put up the $34,000
necessary to purchase the right of way
and terminals. It is now up to Water
loo and, from all appearances, it would
seem that the money will not be sub
scribed and the city will not get the
road.
READY TO LAY STEEL
Minneapolis & St. Louis Extensions Will
Proceed Rapidly.
Special to The Journal.
Watertown, S. D., July 28.The lay
ing of steel on the new extension of
the Minneapolis & St. Louis from Wa
tertown to the Missouri river willcom
menoe Monday, July 30.This inf or
mation was given out by Division En

It bas been expected that the laying
of steel would commence this week but
a delay was caused because of the big
cut just out of Watertown. From two
to four miles of steel a day will be the
rate of building, which should take the
road nearly to Florence next week.
WILL TAP TIMBER TRACT
Milwaukee's New Branch Will Pent
trate Pine Stretch of Forest.
Special to The Journal.
Ewen, Mich., July 27.According to
present plans, work will shortly be
started on the construction of the Mil
waukee road southwest from Ontona
gan. The ultimate purpose is to extend
the line to a connection with the Wis
consin Valley division. For the pres
ent, however, the road will be extended
to tap the big tract of timber pur
chased recently by lower Michigan men
and which is to be shipped to Green
Bay, WisV, for manufacture at the for
mer plant of the Diamond Match com
pany.
In the route already mapped out there
is a stretch of exceedingly rough coun
try beyond the Porcupine mountains,
and it is thought likely that instead of
following that survey the road will be
built thru the Norwich gap and down
by way of Lake Gogebic. New lines
are now being run by an engineering
party headed by Robert Hamilton of
Milwaukee, who had charge of the sur
vey last year.
Negotiations are in progress for the
short piece of road owned by the On
tonagon tb Southwestern Railroad coin-

yards in le^th, but its acquisition ap
pears necessary to give the Milwaukee
an outlet, jdnd it IB expected that it
will shortMbe taken over, altho up to
date it has been a stumbling Wock.
There' is also- said to be a deal under
way for the purchase of the line pf the
Ontonagon Railroad company, which re
cently acquired the C. V. McMillan
company's logging road. This line ex
tends in the same direction as the pro
fosed Milwaukee route, altho it hugs
he shore a little closer. There is a
vast stretch of timber in the country
southwest of Ontonagon, practically all
of it tributary to the proposed' new
branch of the Milwaukee,

Railroad Men Discover New Beauties
in Bate Measure.
Ticket scalpers now fall under the
federal law as well as the state law,
according to the belief of railroad men
who have-studied the new law.
"It is a certainty that if the rail
roads will not be able to cut rates,
ticket brokers will not be allowed to
sell any cut-rate tickets," Said a rail
road man yesterday. I believe the
law will affect railroad conductors also.
They will not be allowed to cut fares
between stations, but must charge full
fare, according to the published tariff,
or else stand a chance of being prose
cuted.
The law provides a penalty of not
less than $1,000 and not more than
$20,000 for each offense. If the scalp
ers are to be offenders in the sight of
the lawj it is certain that they will
not continue long in the business after
they have been convicted of one of
fense and made to pay one fine.
CROOKSTON WANTS THE SOO
Presence of Engineer in Town Raises
Hopes of New Road.
Special to The Journal.
Crookston, Minn., July 28.This city
is stirred up over the appearance of
P. Hankinson, locating engineer of tho
Soo road. He was traveling incognito
and tried to avoid friends and acquaint
ances, but he had been in the city only
a short time when his presence was dis
covered.
He stated that he was not out on
railroad business. He carried a survey
or's outfit and after spending several
hours in the city took a team for Ers
kine, where the Soo road crosses the
Great Northern.
It is believed that the Soo is con
templating the building of a line into
Crookston in the near future, which
will make this city one of the best rail
road centers of the state.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 28.The state

make a general reduction of 33 1-3 per
cent in the rates charged for all classi
fied freight from Indianapolis west to
the Indiana state line. The decision
against the Vandalia line was the out
come of a suit filed with the state rail
road commission by local shippers.
Rate War Ends in Fizzle.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, July 28.The so-called bit
ter war over the rates on grain from
Missouri river points to Chicago and
New York has ended in a fizzle. In
stead of slashing the rates until they
had no bottom to stand on, as was ex
pected, the roads have agreed to re
store them to the old basis Aug. 11,
instead of Aug. 26, as was announced
when the reduced tariffs were issued.

LOCDSTS RD1N CROPS
IN PARTS OF AUSTRIA
Vienna, July 28.Locusts are devas
tating the neighborhood of Debreczin,
where crops on 60,000 acres already
have been consumed.
Desperate means have been adopted
to keep back the invasion, but without
avail. Fires lighted have been extin
guished by the on-moving mass, after
which the survivors of the army of
devastation have continued their march.
Twelve steam rollers have been used
at one place to crush the locusts, but
they made no apparent impression. Lo
custs cover the earth in many places to
a depth of several inches, defying anni
hilation. Many farmers are ruined.
SPAIN WILLING TO

Washington, July 28.Mr. Collier,,

Unofficial advices have indicated that
as a matter of fact that minister has
already discussed with the Spanish au

which will be submitted to the state de-'

Success Inthe GulfQoastCountry7T
-**$- Every Tuesday and Saturday there will appeal In the columns
't'H, 61 this paper an example of what has been done in farming in the
Gulf Coast country on the Brownsville Line.
Example No. 8
125 Bushels of Corn
from 1 acre in a year
Mr. John Closner of Hidalgo, Texas, has
a farm that can be irrigated the year round.
He has raised three crops of corn on one piece of
land in the last fifteen months. Each crop
yielded not less than fifty bushels to the acre.
That, you see, means 125 bushels an acre for
the year.
Don't you think a farm of this kind is bet
ter than a farm that gives but one crop a year.
Isn't it better than a farm where you may lose
your crop because it is too wet, or too dry, or
too*cold. Write Mr. Closner and he will tell
you more about the good points of his farm.
In this Gulf Coast Country they also get
eight or nine cuttings of alfalfa a year
sugar cane yields from forty to sixty tons an acre.
Are you doing as well as Mr. Closner? Wouldn't
you like to be in his position, not only making a good.
living, but laying away a comfortable sum each year? Is
there any reason why you shouldn't be i#this position?
Raising garden truck in the Gulf Coast Country is simply
"making garden" on a larger scale. Anyone can do it,
even the city man but if you have had experience farming
or truck gardening, so much the better.'
A twenty-acre place will be all that you can take care
of. You can get it on easy terms, and the first crop intelli
gently planted and cultivated will more than pay for the
land. Here is the cost:
20 acres at $25 per acre,
Cost of artesian well,
Clearing at $5 per acre,
5-room house,
Total cost of 20-acre farm
ready to plant $1450.00
You may be able to get good land as cheap as $15 an
acre. If you can, buy it now it will cost more next year.
And then it's a good place to have a home, a delight
ful climate, the sunny, mild winters of the tropics, and
summers tempered by the cOol breezes from the Gulf.
