Minneapolis Minn., dec. 9.�?the Northwest now offers a thrilling and melodramatic Story Replete with figures revealing that facts Are indeed stranger than fiction that the from rags to richest formula works out in real life and that the unloved stepchild sometimes does Blossom into the plumed and bejewelled Prince. Six months ago the Northwest was literally ragged. Its Farmers were in dire Straits and its business men were whistling in the dark to hide the fact that affairs were on an extremely ragged Edge. Appeals were being made to the government for Aid for wheat growers and discontent was general. Today a crop valued at $1,058,000,-000 has been heaped on a Platter i licked painfully clean.

In six Short months the spectacle of Banks closing with the rapidity of paper boats sinking in a Gale at sea has changed to one where hundreds of Banks in the Northwest have so much Cash on hand that they Are advertising for Loans. Farmers who could not get a sack of flour at the country store and who had mortgaged every bit of property they possessed to its utmost Farthing find themselves with chattel mortgages interest Back taxes and store Bills paid and in hundreds of cases a share if not All of the first mortgages on their lands cleared up.
