Why the Prairies are Treeless.

Mr.. l.. Il. Ward gives in the Kan
sas City Recieic some reasons why
the western plains are destitute of
forests. Where the annual rain fall
exceeds twenty-four inches the alb
sence of forests is undoubtedly due
to the repeated burnings which take
place on the prairies from human
agencies. Where the annual rain
fall is below twenty, or perhaps
twenty-four inches there can be no
growth of forests, and this is the
true cause Of the absence of trees on
the great plains But this does not
prevent the existence in arid regions
Of certain specialized types of vege
tation The sage brush that covers
the dreary wastes of the Rocky
Mountain region, the Laramie plains,
the Bitter Creek valley, and such vast
areas of the West, while in its botan-
ical character it is little more than an
overgrown weed, is to all intents and
purposes tree, and often of great
age. The region it occupies is even
more arid than the great plains, yet
no fires occur and no forests grow.
In the nearly rainless areas of Arizo-
ma, southern Utah and New Mexico,
and stretching eastward into Texas,
there occur number of arborescent
forms, the creosote bush Marrea
Mexicana), the mesquit lProsopis iu-
lifiora), vatious acacias and mimosas,
and one yucca (Y. brevifolia), togeth-
er with the tree cactus (Cereas gigan-
teous). These grow scattered at
great distances from each other, and
rarely form thickets or groves. Why
no such characteristic species are
found occupying the great plains is
not known, and it is probably mere
accident that none happen to exist,
adapted both to their temperatures
and their arid condition. Did any
such exist, there seems no reason
why they might not thrive as well as
the sage brush farther west or the
mesquit of the south.

What Called Him Hence.

"Do not go, darling" and as she
spoke the words, spoke them in low,
tender tones that thrilled him from
main-t truck to keelson, Gwendolen
Mahaffey laid her soft, white cheek
on Plntarch Riordan's shoulder and
gave him look with her lustrous,
dove-like eyes that would have made
your head swim.
II cannot stay" he said, kissing the
peachy red lips as he spoke, and feel
ing wistfully in his overcoat pocket
for plug of tobacco, Il must go
now, right away"
But the girl placed her arms around
his neck arms whose soft, rounded
curves and pink tinted skin would
have made an anchorite throw up his
job-and pleaded with him to stay a
little longer.
II cannot" he again said, looking
at her tenderly.
Cannot" repeated the girl, a shade
OF anger tingeing the tone in which
the word was uttered. "And pray,
sir, what is it that so imperatively
calls you hencef"
Bending over her with careless
grace that artfully concealed the
slight bagginess at the knees of his
pants, Plutarch said, in low, bitter,
tones that were terrible in their in
tensity:
II have broken my suspenderl"

When and How to Break.

DAKOTA Farmer
The breaking begins when the
grass begins to grow, and lasts
through the growing season, usually
about six weeks. Our experience in
Dakota for the last six years inclines
us to think that the best time to
break is tho 4th or 9Th week in the
breaking season. A heavy crop of
growing grass can then be turned un-
der. The grass roots are well filed
with sap, arc less woody, and there
fore more easily decomposed. The
alternate wetting and drying during
the following warm weather is what
rots the sod. Too thick breaking is
not affected on the outer surface by
the heat of the grass that is foment-
ing under the sod; neither is too
thick breaking affected by the dew,
rain and heat deep enough to give a
rotted soil when the sod is returned.
From one to two inches is as deep as
the sod usually rots. In dry seasons
not more than one-half inch. Con-
sequently we prefer shallow breaking.
Flax, corn and beans are good sod
crops, and help to rot the sod by in
creasing the heat and breaking off
the winds, thereby keeping the
ground moist longer.

second, because more than two
years before the grand jury on the
federal side of the court found the
indictment the place Of the alleged
homicide had been restored to the
public domain, and the local court, if
any, had the jurisdiction.
A third murder case for new trial is
that OF Leighton, with long list of
aliases, who was last summer con
victed in Deadwood for the murder of
Mexican freighter, and sentenced
to be hanged The claim is made
that Leighton has been non compos

terest. Some of these cases have
been in court a long time, and wear
ago John ID. Cameron, the so-called
Sioux Falls land shark, narrowly es-
capped conviction. When the cases
came up last winter the defendants
put IN demurrer to the effect that
making fraudulent preemption
proof cannot come under the head of
''claim" against the United States
within the meaning of the statutes
which punish those who make false
or fictitious claims against the United
States government. Judge Edgerton
held that the phrase "claim against
the government" could not be made
applicable to quarter section Of
land taken under the homestead. pre-
emption or timber culture laws, and
in common language spoken of as
claims" He therefore sustained
the demurrer. This would throw a
large number of important eases ont
of court, but the United States attor-
ney filed a petition for a writ of error.
1t is thought that the full bench will
sustain the decision, though many
lawyers think the decision a most ex-
traordinary one. The government
has spent $780, 900 or $4,000 working
up these cases, and it will be unfortu-
nate if they all fall through. While
there have been thousands of acres of
land stolen in Dakota, not solitary
conviction has taken place.
Another case will come up at this
court, and it is a very complicated
one. The plaintiffs are Reese a. Son,
boat builders of Pittsburg, Pa,
against the owners of the steamer
Gen. Terry. The plaintiffs were the
builders of the boat and part owners
originally, and they now claim a lien
for the cost of engine, boilers and ma
chinery; also for subsequent machin-
cry put in at Bismarck The suit was
first brought two years ago in the
district court in admiralty, and the
libel dismissed for want Of jurisdic-
ton. The defendants deny the lien
and claim that the work done in the
nature of a personal credit. Bartlett
Tripp is counsel for plaintiffs, and
Judge Peter G. Shannon and Mr..
Kramer for defendants.

Solidifying Petroleum for Transport
alton.

According to st. Petersburg pa
per, German, Herr p. N. Dittmar,
has practically solved the problem Of
rendering petroleum solid--a prob
lem considerably studied by chem
lists of late in view of the large ques-
ton of transport. A company has
been formed in Russia to work the
patent when completed. The trans
formation of the substance will not
cost more than about 3D.. per 36
pounds (six kopecs per pood), where
as the casks now used increase the
cost of petroleum about rs. 4d. for
the same quantity (55 kopecs per
pood), leakage not considered. The
mode of treatment is not yet dis
closed, and chemists to whom small
samples of the solid petroleum have
been sent have not been able to
make ont the nature of the foreign
substances that are added in pro-
portion of two or at the most three
per cent. to solidify the petroleum.
The reporter of the St. Petersburg
paper saw the product; he says it is
oil a ne-yellow color, and has the
consistency of gelatine; it can be
kneaded with the fingers like wax,
and is yet somewhat breakable. "A
small piece of the thickness of lead
pencil and about an inch long could
be lit at one end and held with the
fingers. 1t melted like wax, and it
was only after little while, when
hot drops ran down that the flame
had to be blown out The danger Of
fire is considerably less ihap with IL
quid petroleum. The product can
be easily liquifed when required by
the addition of vinegar, and the pro-
cess is rapid. The vinegar in time
separates cut below and the vinegar
above. 1t is not stated whether the
same vinegar can be used repeated
ly. 1t appears that the higher and
low-boiling hydrocarbons in crude
naptha are not affected by thu solid
flying agent, in which case the costly
apparatus for fractional distillation
might be dispensed with. The adj
vantages of solid petroleum would
be peculiarly felt in regions like the
Caucasus, where the naptha industry
suffers through the dearth of suitable
wood for barrels.-London Times.

Dak0ta's Growth.

Yankton Press, May ..
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Dennis informs us that from his
standpoint he is able to see rapid
growth and development in Dakota.
Last year the largest days business
was $2,786 and this was after that dis
asterous food, when Yakton went ex-
actly four weeks without letter from
the outside world. The amount
above was the accumulation of nearly
a month. On the 31st Of May this
year the Office of revenue collector
took in $2,833, and by comparison
with the same days last year, after
mail facilities were re-established,
the increase shows such decided
growth in internal development that
none can but feel a pride in what Da-
kota has already got to be. While
for several years past much has been
expected of the territory, by reason
of its large immigration and the fer
tility of its soil and variety of its re-
sources, yet we venture that true
compilation of everything forming
our wealth in industries, agriculture,
stock, trade, farm and city property,
would surprise the most careful, and
interested observer of the peopling
and general development of this
section, so recently wild untrodden
prairie.

The Great Sioux Reservation.


Deadwood Times. Mays.
The reservation comprises about
one-t third of the entire area of Dakota
Territory, or some 5000 square
miles. IL extends from our southern
boundary to the northward, span.
ming about two-t thirds OF the distance
from our southern to our northern
boundaries. This vast area is occu-
pied by some 5000 Indians, young
and old, or an area of some six square
miles to each person in the nation. 1t
contains an average of more arabic
land than any other section Of the
Territory, similar in extent, besides it
is all splendidly adapted to grazing
purposes. The extinguishment OF
the Indian title and its acquisition to
the government domains, has now
become political necessity to the
general government, and financially
so to the Hills and all of the country
westward TO the Pacific coast At
present it is but a financial octopus
stretching across worlds commerce;
so long as it exists, so long will we
labor under great disadvantages in
securing an extension of railroad
lines, and railroad communication.
That the government can acquire
title to it, at a bargain to all concern
ed, there is but little doubt, if exist
ing necessities for its acquisition is
properly brought before congress.
