R G DUN COS REVIEW
Wheats Rapid Upward Rush Fea
ture of the Week
R G Dun Cos Weekly Review of
Traae says Every city reporting this
week notes an increase in trade and nearly
all bright crop prospects The strong rise
in stocks the growth of bank clearings
and railroad earnings the heavy specula
tion in many products but most of all in
wheat have made the week one of sur
passing interest even to those who best
remember the upward rush In 1S79 In all
the great industries a heavy demand for
products appear with strong speculation
in materials and intermediate products In
the iron and steel branch starting of
many works after settlement of wage3
keeps prices low and even decreases some
but the fact that the demand is growing
leads to heavy purchases of iron ore

tracts will not pay up Many contracts
are delinquent seven and eight years
while in other cases speculators have paid
only 1 or sometimes less for a quarter of
a section and have paid nothing since
these running delinquent two three and
four years
It is not the policy of the present board
to cancel contracts held by persons living
on the land and who are making an honest
effort to pay for the same and where this
fact is proven to the commissioner of public
lands and buildings and a part of the de
linquency paid extensions to the end of
the year nave been granted with the
understanding that the remainder will be
paid Commissioner Wolfe is traveling
over the state leasing these and other
school lands as rapidly as possible with
the result that a great deal of the land
which has been idle rental having been
lost by failure to keep up collections will
now begin drawing rental and will con
tinue to do so if the present policy is fol
lowed much of this land having been
held heretofore by speculators and others
who have paid little or nothing for the use
thereof

a necessary factor in beet harvesting The
machine is so constructed that it tops and
lifts the beet at the same time carries th

ready to be picked up and loaded int

Lend Their Kffbrts to Assist the Coal
Miners The Present Situation
The week has seen ho change in the
coal miners strike The mn who are
out still maintain their resolute stand and
declare that they will not go back until
their just demands are acceded to The
women of the Turtle Creek valley of
Pennsylvania have joined hands with the
strikcrs Their attention has been call
ed to the fact that the injunction which
prevents the strikers from venturing upon
the property of the New York and Cleve
land Gas Coal Company applies to men
only and that nothing in it is said about
women They have been urged to go
where the men are unable to and add their
entreaties and prayers to those of the
strikers in their efforts to have the men
who are yet at Avork lay down their tools
The women will enter heart and soul into
the work and do all in their power to coax
the men out
A bomb was thrown into the camp of
the striking miners at Sandy Creek when
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company refused to pay the wages due its -men
A hitter light will be made in the
comas by the United Mine Workers to
gain the money for the strikers The
New York and Cleveland company has
individual contracts with all its men that
are binding and tight One of the pro
visions is that in case the mn quit work
voluntarily against the wish of the com
pany they sacrifice all watres yet unpaid
in the hands of the company This Dis
trict President Dolan of the Mine Work
ers who will make the tight in the courts
for tho men considers grossly illegal and
will make a test of the legality of the con
tracts with the men as early as possible
He says the company violated them in
two instances and that they have thereby
dissolved all binding obligations on tho
inen The amount due the Sandy Creek
miners is their wages for the first two
weeks in July
The miners are acting in a peaceable
and orderly manner and although several
