to

ouBr.of late, owing, toi:
weather, aad the ravages of ba. have,
oeen greatly exaggerated, accoraiBg to
japes Wilson, secretary .of, agriculture.
"Siring seeding is, littiexback-ward.-said
Hr..WUsoat"on account
of the. cold, weather, but. there is,
plenty of time..between now and the
last of September to grow a crop of all
kinds of grain. . In Minnesota aad the,
Dakotas, where we get -moat of -pur,
spring wheat seeding has beear de-
lajfed afcouttwp weeks, but with a'few
days of warm sunshine planting will
be In full swing. While the weather.
has been 'unseasonably cold ia some
I districts, it has not been severe enckigh'
to. rciara plowing, ana my navicvs
that tiie ground in these states has
been nearly all made ready to receive'
tiie seed. We will have warm weather
in a few days now and I don't see what
i3 to prevent a normal-crop xf spring
wheat in these states.
"As regards the Canadian north
west the claims being made that, this
year's harvest will be seriously dimin
ished may have some foundation. Ac
cording to what I consider authentic
advices from that section the weather
has. been so cold that plowing has been
almost' impossible, ha past years the
Canadian farmer has generally left his
plowing for .the spring, and this year
he finds; himself In a bad predicament
In a normal year seeding would be,
about half finished In Manitoba and
adjoining provinces, but I am told that
today the. fanners there have not got
the ground ready for receiving tiie
seed, even if the weather was favor
able for this work., However, such a
condition in the Canadian northwest.
will not make a great deal of differenc
when this year's crop is harvested.
The Canadian farmer grows but a
small proportion of the. total crop of
wheat, and I am of the opinion that the
deficiency there. If there be any, will
liardly be noticed when harvesting
throughout the world has been com
pleted. "In the southwest there have been
numerous calls for the past three
weeks of damage being wrought by
green bugs. These reports of damage
to the winter wheat have been grossly
exaggerated." " '

IS a statement attributed to W. L
Park, general superintendent of the
"Union Pacific railroad.
"The small dealers," Mr. Park is
further reported to have said, -have,
in- a way, depended upon the railway
supply 'of coal to help them out, and
unless they store their own coal during
the coming 'summer they will face a
famine in the winter."

Sharp Decline in Pricoa Follows the
' TransactieA Large Earninao for
1907. Reported.
New York New capital issues, ag
gregatia S136.000.M0. which were an
nounced Thursday by TJakra 'Pacific
and Southern Pacific' companies, creat
ed a sensation in financial circles and
resulted In a sharp decline 'in prices
on the Stock exchange. When the an
nouncement waa made that 'the direct
ors will ask their stockholders to au
thorize such Issues quotations of Un
ion Pacific shares dropped a total of
18.25 per share from the previous h'gh
figure of the day. Part of this decline
was .made up in later dealings. This
latest move on the part of the Harri
man systems caused much comment
in financial circles and drew a state
meat from Mr. Harriman. who said the
directors decided it would be better
to ofler stockholders preferred stock
at par rather than to sell Southern
Pacific bonds at a high rate of inter
est. He believes this will better main
tain the credit of the company.
"Southern Pacific has a floating debt
of about $32,300,006," said Mr. Harri
man. "Of- this sum 314.200,000 is pay
able to Union Pacific for advances.
Under the. arrangement announced to
day Union Pacific will take 45 per cent
of the 3,000.000 stock offered by the
Southern Pacific. Stockholders of Un
ion Pacific will hold a meeting in
June to authorize an issue of 3100,
000,000 of common stock. An issue of
375.000,000 debentures will have the
first call on this to the extent of $40,
000.000, so that when all debentures
are, converted there will still remain
a balance of $60,000,000 common stock
authorized, but not issued."
Mr. Harriman also said that the Un
ion Pacific has $243,000,000 in unen
cumbered assets and 1,623 miles of
unmortgaged track.
Under the plan announced the de
benture bonds, which will -bear 4 per
cent interest and which will be sold
to stockholders at $900 for each $1000
bond, may be converted .into common
stock' of the Union Pacific at any time
within three to five years at the rate
of $175 per shafe of common stock.
The market value of te common stock
at' the close of the exchange, today
was $143.25 per share.
At a meeting of the board of direct,
ore of the Union Pacific company the
chairman submitted a statement show
ing the estimated earnings over ope
rating expenses for the year ending
June 30. 1907. to be $32,465,000.
Deducting from this the Interest on
the funded debt $8,454,000; sinking
fund requirements, $1,200,000; interest
on loans, $877,000, and other expenses,
$27,000,, would' leave a surplus of ap

his 'farm for a week, during which
time fruitless search had been made
for him, on Wednesday sent 'for an
oftlcer and gave himself up to face the
charge of murdering Frank Jamer,
a saloonkeeper, a week ago. Boche
shows the effects of his week of men
tal and physical suffering through bit
terly cold nights. He received a slight
but painful wound in the right hip and
a glaze on the left knee when Sheriff
Clements fired four bullets at him.
Boche says that he had $860 when
Jamer coaxed him, against his will, to
visit the resort where he shot Jarmer.
He says Jarmer urged him against
protests to drink two glasses of whisky
before starting and that his head be;
gan to swim immediately. While in
the hack he .says Jarmer felt of his
pocket until he had to rebuke the- sa
loonkeeper: Later in the night' he
says Jarmer sat down beside him aad
grabbed at the pocket ia which, was
his purse. He says that when he left
the house with Jarmer, he felt for his
purse and it waa gone. Then he start
ed to go home. With an oath Jarmer
declared he could not go home. Boche
says, and then he remembers reaching
for his gun and shooting.. He did not
know he had killed Jarmer until Mon
day of this week, when he -found his
son at a neighbor's farm. He says he
knew nothing after the shooting until
that night when he awoke In a hog
pen near the scene of the tragedy. He
hurried home, where he heard a man
call "Halt!" Not knowing what was
meant nor that it was the sheriff, he
ran and was woundeg.
Tuesday night he went home and
asked that an officer come and get him.
Constable Conlcy was summoned.
Boche looks like an insane man. He
has retained former United States Sen
ator Allen, who cleared him of the
murder of George Ives eighteen years
ago. He says Jarmer had been trying
to borrow money from him with which
to pay saloon license fees. He says
he told Jarmer he had too much
money to venture Into the resort with.
