Athena, July 14. It is safe to say
that the wheat yield in this section of
the county, and the same reports come
from Adams, Helix and Weston, will
average about 35 bushels to the acre.
In about a week It will be easy to
make a positive estimate on the yields
of the fields. No sales have yet been
made, though considerable wheat has
been hauled to the warehouses. Some
offers have been made this week to
different growers for "2 and 73 cents,
tut it was refused.
The growers think that they will be
able to get 75 cents at least, and pos
sibly more. Report from the Juni
per country, which lies about 10 miles
north of Helix where the soil is light,
and very little grain was expected,
show that most of the farmers are
getting about 25 bushels to the acre.

of wheat to the Preston-Parton Mill

GOOD YIELDS.
The Black Hills region and the ad
jacent country have been noted find
ing places for the remains of strange
animals of ancient America. Through
out this region, ages ago, in the Cre
taceous period, there were vast
swamps and bodies of open water,
connected by a network of water
courses that were constantly chang
ing their channels.
The intervening spaces, which were
but slightly above the water level,
were covered with an abundant veg
etation, and through this region
roamed many beasts whose bones
were here and there embedded in the
mud that, now become solid rock,
preserved to the geologist skeletons
that are treasured In many museums.
Among these were the Ceratopsia,
an order of rptilian creatures which
are the subject of a technical descrip
tion In a volume just published by the
United States geological survey.
The Caratopsia comprised many
genera and species, but the most
striking, perhaps, was the genus call
ed Triceratops, a three-horned ani
mal of huge size, now represented in
the United States National Museum
at Washington by a skeleton nearly
as big as that of an elephant. An im
mense bony frill that covers the up
per part of the neck, a pair of horns
like those of an ox, a smaller nasal
horn like that of a rhinocerous, and
a snout like that of a turtle, give the
head of the Triceratops a unique and
striking appearance.
The Ceratopsia found their food in
the vegetation of the swamp region
they inhabited, and the agencies by
which they became extinct are not
certainly known.
Voting Man Meets With Painful Ac
cident in Runaway.
Weston. Jply 24. Harvesting has
progressed far enough in this vicinity
to demonstrate that there will be lots
of 35 and 40-bushel yields to the
acre. For the most part the grain
promises to be of standard quality,
although there are some fields in
which shriveled grain Is reported. By
this time next week work will be far
enough advanced so that an intelli
gent estimate of the yield may be
formed.
There is an over supply of men here
and at Athena, who desire work in
the harvest fields and many are leav
ing for other parts. The introduction
of combines lessens the demand for
laborers to a considerable extent and
the result is that men are finding it
hard to secure employment in har
vest in this vlclplty.
Jesse Prowls, met with a painful
accident Wednesday while driving a
team on the mountains. One of the

soon be out as usual.

ATTACK EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Banker Say Common Carriers Have
No Place Among Financial Institu
tions. Duluth, Minn.. July 24. An attack
on the money order business trans
acted by th express companies of the
country was made in a paper read be
fore the convention of the Minnesota
Bankers' association, in session here
today. The matter will be brought
before the American Bankers' associ
ation at Its annual convention this
faii. :
It is alleged that as the express
companies are common carriers and
nothing else, they have no right to do
a banking business unless they sub
mit to the same regulations which
govern the banks themselves in their
transactions. The bankers demand
that these companies submit to exam
ination by federal and state banking
departments. They say that the ex
press money orders which the com
panies issue and expect the banks to
cash oftentimes when the local com
panies have not aufflclent funds with
which to meet these orders, have al
ways caused the bankers great an
noyance and inconvenience. The ef
fort of the Bankers' association Is di
rected toward forcing the express
companies to give up this feature of
their business, or, if they carry it on,
to make them submit to the regular
examinations.
This afternoon the bankers will en-
Joy a trip on Lake Superior. On Sun
day, following the adjournment or
the convention, the financiers will
leave on the steamer America for an
excursion to the Isle Royals.
