Press and Dakotaian, July 7th: A
startling discovery has been made
which will certainly not rebound to the
credit of the last Dakota legislature. 1t
is found that within the carefully
guarded railroad law known as chap
ter ninety-nine, laws OF 1888, is posi-
tive specification in favor of railroads
--one which, perhaps, the railroad COM
panies themselves may not approve of,
as it is almost certain to stimulate
granger warfare against corporations
and in the end prove disastrous to the
companies operating in Dakota. The
effect of the act is to exempt all rail-
road lands in Dakota from taxation. so
long as they remain the property of
railroad corporation. whether it is nee
essary to operate the road or not. In
der this law the immense possessions of
the Northern Pacific and the land which
belongs to the Chicago & Northwest
ern in the counties of Deuel. Grant,
Codington and Hamlin are relieved
from taxation. even to the townsites
which are their property. The North
ern Pacific land grant in Dakota is one
hunnred miles wide and four hundred
and fifty miles long and under this Sc
eret act of a legislature which had
already committed enough open infamy
to consign most Of it's members to ever
lasting ignominy, this immense tract is
relieved from the responsibility of
sharing the public burden. The act as
it is drawn is an apparent improve
ment on the old law for forcing the col
lection of taxes against railroads, being
skillfnlly made to catch the granger
vote. The old law levied per cent up
on the gross earnings of railroad COM
panies and carefully specified the ex-
emptions to be the road bed, the neces-
sary ground for depot purposes, and
rolling stock, and buildings, and sub
jected all railroad lands to taxation.
The new law levies per cent upon
gross earnings and includes among the
exemptions the lands owned by railroad
VIII lulIiilleS. IlllS Dlll WAS ruSneu
through the legislature during the last
days of the session in the midst of the
excitement following the passage of the
capital bill when most of the members
seemed to have lost their heads and
were ready to vote" aye" on any propo-
sition. TWAS rot printed, and if it was
read in full very few lisened to it or
gaveit attention. It was an opportune
time for just such a piece of work.
Governor Ordway had not time to sign
the constitutional convention act, but
this fraud upon the people bears the en-
dorsement, approved March 9th, 1888"
which was the last day of the session.
1t is known that Governor Ordway in
tluenced the railroads to suddenly with
draw their opposition to the capital
commission bill. Was this the price
paid by him and h.s legislative assist
ants?

A correspondent in the Dakota HUI
ronite sounds the signal of alarm in re-
gard to next winters supply of fuel,
and advises farmers to club together
and order coal in carload lots. The
communication closes with the follow
ing advise: OH should at once pre-
pare sheds for your coal and be sure to
have them filled before the snow begins
to fly. If you do not, you will regret it
for all time, and will have no one but
yourself to blame for your neglect A
sod shed, or one made of poles and
prairie grass, will do, if you cannot af-
ford to build one of lumber. Build
some sort of a shelter for your coal at
once, and then put in your winters sup
ply, no matter if you have to deny
yourself many other things. Do not
buy coal and dump it down where the
rains and wind and snow and frost will
turn 1t into dust, but keep it under
cover and dry, and you will find that
your stock will last four times as long
as it would if it was left exposed to the
elements"

Ii any orchardist doubts the desirable.
ity of the French prunes as a safe invest
ment for certain future income. we re-
fer him to i. j. Knapp. Of Carpinteria,
who has Just mark eted this seasons crop
from one acre and half of land. In
planting an orchard six years ago, MIR.
Knapp only set out 200 prune trees, not
knowing how well they would thrive.
From the very first they have been Wig.
orous and thrifty, needed but little care,
and they commenced bearing the first
year. This, the third dry season they
have had to contend with, had seeming
ly no i'll effects on them, and
each tree was literally loaded with
fruit. After the gathering and drying,
just completed, Mr.. Knapp found he had
four tons OF dried fruit, all in as prime,
acceptable condition as any foreign
prunes ever in market. C. c. Hunt
bought the whole crop at once. the re-
tail price being twelve and half cents
per pound. This. from an acre and .
half Of land, is a. pretty comfortable
profit. and the figures not exaggerated in
the least. As California dried prunes
are equal ii not superior to imported va
rieties. they must command wide and
permanent market. The prunc, though
the favorite OF all dried fruits, is q
decidedly eccentric and difficult tree to
suit in soil and climatic conditions. and
attempts to transplant it have utterly
failed almost everywhere else but in
California; even here it will only flourish
in certain localities. Under these cir
cumstances it Is improbable that future
price or demand can be less than now,
though an advance is likely. Even at a
net profit of less than half the present

THAT is tremendous mass OF rocks, -
observed an elderly gentleman on a
Mississippi steamboat, pointing to some
OF the rugged scenery along the shore;
docs it seem possible that they could
be shaken from their foundation! Weak,
puerile man is incapable OF such work
an that"
II know who could do it," piped a
weak, oonsumptive voice at his elbow.
The gentleman turned and saw before
him strange, weird sight. A dying man
had propped himself up on one elbow.
and his CLASSY eyes were gazing fierccly
at him in their feverish intensity.
"Ah. my poor fellow. said the elder
gentleman, land whe might be able to
shake that rugged mass ?"
"Dinah might" exclaimed the dying
man. His head fell upon the deck, his
lower jaw dropped, and with these bale
full words upon his cold, white lips, his
poor paragapbic soul Aoated out to the
shoreless sea OF eternity.
