The past week the markets in the
| twin cities have been very much de.
pressed, and the range of prices
lower than at any time during the
past year but there is still promise OF
Improvement in the near future
Corn, which has held up remarkably
well the entire season took a drop and
has been selling under Scots. per bushel
for all futures, but the promise of a
large yield and the fact that the pro-
ducers hold large part of the old crop
will undoubtedly have its effect.
Wheat has had no support worthy of
mention, and it is now beginning to
be realized that prices are low
for even goot crop year and any
large shortage may be followed by a
raid that would undoubtedly prove dis
astrous to trade. Oats except for
present delivery have been very weak.
But the fact still remains patent that
with the promised heavy yield the con-
dition of the markets must improve,
and with the improvement will come
certain prosperity to the farmers, who
make up the great bulk of our trade
dealers, and the whole state will be
placed on an advanced footing.

HoRsE-BREAKrse JAPAN

Hokusai was never weary of studying
horses and their funny ways, and of all
creatures Japanese horses are the most
amusing. These nags which wear laced
up shoes of straw, drink out of a dip
per, take hip-baths of hot water, and
stand in the stable with their mouths
tied up higher than their ears, are
broken in to the pack or saddle in very
rough way. In Hokusai's days, horses
were never harnessed to wagons, nor
did they draw anything. The ponies
were usually broken in" in large open
yards attached to the temples. Fires,
also, are usually kindled, and the colts
are driven close to them, so that they
may become used to such common
sight.
The method of breaking them in was
as follows: The young horse was duly
harnessed, and man on each side held
bride to jerk him to the right or left,
while another man in the rear beat him
with a bamboo stick, keeping we'll away
from his boots. Twelve or more men
and boys then took hold of the long
ropes or traces, and lively shouting
began. The horse plunged and gal
loped off, expecting to get rid of the
noisy crew, but soon found that this
was no easy task. It was a twelve-man
power that made him go here and there,
fast or slow, occasionally stopping him
short and giving him tumble. When
utterly exhausted, his tormentors led
him back to the stable. After q few
such trials, the pony was considered
broken. Such crude training, though
fine fun for the men, ruins the horses,
making them hard mouthed and vicious

The Fargo Il Southern railway is

The Fargo Il Southern railway is
now an assured fact. Arrangements
have been made with eastern capital
lists by which the necessary money
has been advanced to complete and
equip the road. Contracts for much of
the work has already been let. \
correspondent ofthe Evening Journal
is authority for the statement that a
large majority of the heavy business
men of Fargo have signed contract
agreeing to favor the new road and its
connections whenever such connec-
tions shall be made, so that Fargo
shall be given a through route to Chi
cago, independent of st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The contract is alleged
to provide that so long as a rate to
Chicago is given which will compete
with the rate to that city over the
now established routes, that that road
will be especially favored in the way
of freight carrying, and it is within
personal knowledge and observation
of the writer, that extensive prepara-
tions are being made by business
men here to purchase goods in Chi
cago instead of st. Paul, in order that
the contracts may be made good as
soon as the completion of the road
marks the era of a reasonable freight
rate, founded upon the quantity of
freight shipped. This matter has been
kept very quiet, it not having been de-
cided best that it be made public until
were completed, and
the completion of the road this year
an established fact, but now that the
arrangements are practically COM
pleted the facts are for the first time
given to the public.

known some interesting results con-
corning the effects Of tobacco upon
these boys. The extent to which to-
bacco was used varied /; and the effects
were of course unequal, but were very

twenty-five of the boys there
was disturbance of the calculation,
palpitation of the heart, imperfect
digestion, sluggishness of Intellect,
and to some extent a raving for al

suffered from bleeding of the nose !;
ten had constant nightmare, four had

A"Boomero for the New Yor,hre.,.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is just home
from a lecturing tour of Is, 800 miles through
the great republic, and he comes back as an
enthusiastic "boomer" for the New North
west. Reviewing his somewhat rapid journey
through those vast spaces, Mr.. Beeoher is
chiefly impressed by the magnitude Of the
empire of the Northwest and the sparseness
of the population. The harvest is great; the
laborers are few. For once the New York
Times thinks that Mr. Beecher is entirely
right" and adds its own opinion of this vast
region which has just been opened up to the
rest of the country by mail communication;
The garden of the American continent is
comprised in an area roughly described as
bounded on the north by the 18th parallel of
latitude, on the east by the Snake and Colum.
bia rivers-fowing due south from British
Columbia-on the south by the 4ith parallel,
and on the west by the Pacific ocean. This
includes Puget sound, studded with unnum-
bered wooded islands, sheltered, land locked,
and deep enough to float the navies Of the
world. 1t embraces also the magnificent for
ests of Washington the wheat.fel of East
ern Oregon, the inexhaustible water power of
Central Oregon, and the fertile valleys that
stretch from the Willamette to the northern
boundary of California The climate of this
region is as mild as that of Pennsylvania. In
the Puget sound country the warming infu-
ences of the vast body of salt water are felt
far inland, and the numerous cities and towns
springing up along the margin of that semi
inland sea are not only backed by wealth of
marvellous resources in agriculture, timber,
coal and fish, but they have before them an
open gateway to the worlds commerce, and
around them a mild yet bracing atmosphere
and healthful climate. Mr.. Beecher is cor
rect when he says that the New Northwest is
rich in 1ivable' lands and poor in settlements
There will be great cities built on Puget
sound, large towns as depots and trade cen
tres in Oregon, Washington territory, Idaho
Montana and Dakota. The inflow of popu-
lation has hardly begun. A wide expanse of
country, rich in agricultural. mineral and
grazing resources, scarcely feels the effects of
an immigration boom. Territories that are
capable of supporting millions of people are
dotted with few thousands. But it requires
no very vivid Imagination to hear the tramp
of millions yet to be- resounding through the
New Northwest. Henry Ward Beecher, in his
capacity of boomer and prophet, warns young
men to go up early and possess the land. Mr..
Beechers words are weighty and wise"
With all of which remarks we fully agree,
and with the advice we find no fault but we
nevertheless advise young men of brains and
energy, who have fair show for q comforta-
BILE life at the East-especially men with fam
ilies-to think twice and 60 slow before they
leave everything and go to the New North
west with the idea that they are there to find
a land flowing with milk and honey and moth
ing to do but to enter in and possess it.
