Olstrict Court.

The case of John and James Byrnes
and @. w. Huxley VS.. q. A. Nichols,
G. A. Lamance and B. Fisher, came up
for trial in the District Court yester-
day. A jury was waived by both par
ties. The suit involves the right to
use the waters of Cottonwood Greek
for irrigating purposes. Quite num-
Der of old residents of the Valley have
been subp1nead as witnesses in the
case. aud their examination bids fair
to occupy the time of the Court for
several days.

We are informed by persons just
down from Tuscarora that eight deaths
from pneumonia occurred at that place
last week. This disease. SO prevalent
aud fatal in new mining camps at
this season of the year, is generally
caused by exposure. At White Pine,
where it prevailed to-a great extent ct
one time, it was attributed to the
pogonip." peculiar frosty mist
which affected the lungs and brought on
the fatal pneumonia.

! Our business being to look up lands,
we called upon Messrs. Rathbone x
Judd, the Kansas Pacific land agents,
who are well posted as to the general
character and location of all good lands
in the country. In two days travel we
found but very few sections but what
was good. 1t is noted fact that In the
six townships we travelled over, we
found less broken land than any section
of Kansas we had as yet seen. 1t is
simply a valley with Big creek wind
ing Its way through it,with volume of
fine crystal water sufficient to afford
quite mill power. The soil cannot be
exceled for quality and depth, for up
lands. Five miles from the creek, in a
ravine, washed out quite deep, we found
good soil four feet down, and grass
roots two feet long. The buffalo grass
generally prevails, but the blue joint is
fast making It's appearance. Good water
is found in abundance. by digging wells
with an average depth of about 80 to 40
feet. A few springs abound, but it is
only question of time until there will
be plenty of water. The feature Of the
cOuDlT1 10 luC Dcautilul iHaSutbia auu
chalk limestone. Great lodges are found,
many miles along Big creek, and all
through the uplands it crops out on al
most every section Of land. 1t under
lies the whole country, and is destined
to make one of the finest wheat fields
on this continent. 1t will take time to
tame the lands as it has done in the
great wheat growing districts of Central
Kansas.
The hotel, round house, and many
other buildings IN Ellis are built of this
stone; it is very easy to work. All
work is done by carpenters
with hand saws. Some fine buildings are
going up in Hays City, we were told.
The rock work for the out side walls
was all being sawed out by carpenters.
One man will saw out twenty-five blocks,
SKIS, 16 inches long, with hand saw
four feet long. What better and cheaper
material could man ask for? Here are
found all the elements to make a great
stone, soil, water, and grasses
all of the very best found on the CONT
nent The only apparent necessity is
timber, but little energy and artificial
means will soon produce an ample sup
ply. The lands are being taken up
quite rapidly, but there are hundreds of
acres of goods lands to be had, both
government and railroad. TREGO.

Senator Dawes has introduced bill TO
carry out Captain Howgate's plan Of
colonizing the Polar regions for the pur.
pose of exploration. 1t authorizes the
President to send out an expedition to
establish colony at or near Lady Frank
lin Bay; to detail such officers from the
navy as may be needed, and to equip a
government vessel. The bill provides
for an appropriation of $4,000. The
Committee on Naval Affairs have it un-
der consideration, and are likely to re-
port it favorably.

There is bill under consideration by
the House Committee on Territories,
providing for the election of Governors,
Secretaries, and judicial officers by the

are now filled by appointment by the
President. The bill also provides that
"for the purpose of encouraging settle
ment of the public domain, and aiding
communities established thereon" there
shall be annually appropriated by Con-
gross to each organized Territory the
sum of $4,000. Each Territory costs
the General Government about that sum
now.

1t seem that Turkey would be willing
to treat with Russia for the free passage
of the Dardanelles, were it not for Eng
lands opposition. But Turkey will now
look to England for assistance in the
further prosecution of the war, and
movements lately made by the latter
power strongly indicate that her inter-
vention at an early day is possible.
England has made such military and ma
val preparations, besides hastily calling
for an assembly Of her Parliament, as to
induce the Turks to believe that she III
tends to interfere in their behalf. Con-
sequently no moro talk Of peace Is heard
at Constantinople. In London many
believe that the time will so be employed
previous to the opening of Parliament
as to make war inevitable. A telegram
tells US that high authority states that
the Queen will open Parliament in per-
son, and that after the transaction of
the specified business for which Parlia-
ment is called, an adjournment will take
place until February 9Th or ii. This
means that money is to be asked for,
and Parliament then prOrogued two or
three weeks without learning how the
money is 10 be used. Whether war on
the part OF England is intended or not,
it is evident that her army aud navy is
at least to be put on war footing. At
Woolwich and other arsenals orders
have been received to stop the discharge |
ofmen and to take back those discharged
under previous orders. Later orders to
the British navy yards show an unwontd
haste in preparations OF war ships and
transport ships for sea. The admiralty |
have ordered the iron-clads, Monarch,
Nelson and Northampton into commits
sion at the earliest possible moment,
three Of tho finest ships in the navy 4;
also the guns for the Infexbl,e now be-
ing made, to be fastened.

Russia's term for peace with Turkey
are the independence of Roumania and

under a foreign prince, the free passage
of the Dardanelles, the delivery of the

cheeky, and England is more than hall
right, too. 1t is supposed, however, that
