The railroads of the west are tho biggest collectors of crop news in tho country. Every railroad has a crop bureau. It was impossible to get any hopeful news out of thono crop exports up to thrco or four days ngo. Now thoy are all beginning to hco the bright side of things. President W. C. Drown enmo buck to town on Wednesday. He found conditions along tlio Dig Four to bo particularly roseate. Mr. Drown was ono of the gloomiest of the gloomy railroad officials' two weeks ago.
