meath being seemingly without bottom.
Striking southWardly the party reached
the gulf near Cape Sable. The waters
of the everglades were found to be filled
with myriads ofalligatcrs, snakes. leech-
es and poisonous bugs. The mosquitoes,
we are told, were not troublesome in
the daytime. Some islands were occa-
sionally found, some of which were
slightly submerged, and all Of which
were covered with large trees and lux
uriant foliage. Swamp grass and other
useless vegetation constituted the chief
production. In the southern gIades
there was an. abundance of wild fowl,
deer and fish, but no Indians were
seen. In the extreme southern glades
was found the most surprising and novel
feature of this drowned land, namely,
limestone boulders, which cropped out
everywhere above the surface of the
water, and over which it was necessary
to..carry the canoes. There was found
to be a very slight general movement of
the waters OF q everglades toward the
south, but no special current was observ-
ed. The most important fact established
by the imes-Democrat's enterprise is
that the everglades from lake Okeecho-
bee to Cape Sable are worthless for pur-
poses Of cultivation, containing no large
tracts above water, being unsusceptible
of drainage and almost entirely ire
claimable. The only portion promising
to become OF interest to the farmer is a
narrow strip skirting the peninsula on
the Atlantic and gulfcoasts, the interior
being a vast swamp whose inhabitants
for a long time to come must continue to
be of an amphibious type. Even the
establishment and maintenance Of a tel
egraph line through the everglades is
pronounced impracticable.

The Helena and Benton r. R.

Mr.. Sam Hauser, who has Just return
ed to Helena from the east, said in an
interview with an Independent scribe
that s'the road from Helena to Benton
will surely be built next summer"
Commenting on this positive assertion
by one "who knows whereofhe speaks
4he Independent says editorialIy: A
branch to Benton is a necessity for the
Northern Pacific, and it has doubtless
seen the necessity drumming that branch
from a wealthy commercial centre like
Helena rather than from some point in
the wilderness along the Yellowstone.
Besides, the branch from Helena would
be shorter and cheaper, which are inn
portant considerations. Here, too,
material aid might be furnished toward
the construction of such a road. There
none could be obtained. Here a flour
ishing local trade would exist the mo
ment the road was constructed there,
the road must wait fol- the development
of the wilderness and the influx Of
population. A branch to Benton is a
necessity for the Northern Pacific and
that branch will run from Helena"

A IN ew Snow Plow.

The new snow pillow employed by the
Northern Pacific railroad, is a very in
genious continuance. It is verbally a
sheet iron shovel. Attached to the
snow pillow are four sharp pointed teeth,
which are operated by a lever that runs
back to the cab, and is subject to the
disposition of the engineer. When snew
is packed between the rails. the teeth
are lowered and hang about two inches
above the ties, turning up the packed
snow and throwing it aside. The pillow
is a very formidable affair, and is cap
able of good execution.

Turning the Tables.

Did any of readers ever hear how
Dan Blevins played it on Bob Everson,
known as -Four Jack Bob ?u Bob came
into town say in the spring Of 1872; at
the same time a stranger arrived who
made the acquaintance of Bob. The
latter learned that the stranger had
about 500 in cash in his trousers pocket.
Bob thought a good job could be put up
by which the stranger could be feeced.
He sought Dan and divulged a mann
moth scheme, which he was to share
with Blevins, if the latter would cap
the stranger into q quiet game, by put
ting up a cold deck for him.
Before the time set for the game Dan
sought out the stranger and gave the
scheme away It had been arranged
that Bob was to have fourjacks and the
stranger four tens. The game was
started the stranger, accidentally Of
course tipped his ten spot, which as

SO the betting commenced. Each one
would raise the other until the stranger
o%vertopped Bob's pile. He gave some
one his cards and went down to Baker
&Co.'s where he had a couple of hundred
deposited. The betting continued. Fin
ally the stranger called Bob, and the
latter said, II guess this is my hand,'

Bob looked aghast and fell back in his
chair, limp as a rag and pale as a ghost
He finally recovered, went out and bor-
rowed a pistol to shoot Dan, but thought
better of it and threw the pistol in the
river. The stranger, according to the
agreement, shared the winnings with
Dan, and Bob has been known as -Four
Jack Bob ever since.

Profits From Stock Raising.

A member Of the late convention Of
stockmen, held at Austin, Texas, esti-
mates that 1000, 900 head of horses and
cattle are supported on free grass. Half
of this grass is public property. The
net profit is over p per cent. Two mill
lion head are worth $40, O0O, 900. The
owners Of stock, therefore, get out Of
free grass a profit Of $40, 900 900 a year,
half of which comes from school and
state lands. There is no expectation of
any legislation to comp pei the profits to
be divided with the state.

A DesoIate country

The exploring expedition sent out
last October by the Times-Democrat, Of
New Orleans, to ascertain the character
of the Everglades of Florida has attained
some results Of practical as we'll as geo.
graphical interest. Ascending the Ca
loosahatchie river to lake Okeechobee,
the expedition, after striking the west
arn and southern shores of that broad
body Of water, entered the mouth Of a
stream which debouched into it from
the south. On reaching the source Of
this stream the party found itself in the

Two important land cases are set for
trial on the 18th and 10Th of March
next-the first before the land office at
Miles City, and the second before the
Bismark land office. The first case is
that of Winston VS.. Merrill, and in
wolves the title to a valuable portion of
the townsite of Glendive. Both parties
located scrip on the same piece of land,
and the question of priority of location
is the one to be decided. The second

"Whereveryou finu men making money

as this comes easy they spend it in pro-

"That depends entirely upon the man

receive plenty Of encouragement, but
that does not represent dollars and cents

Official Headiof the Republican National
Committeeman asTalked of Cam
d1date for the Presidency.

Dwight May Sabin came into this
world April IS, 1913, at Manlius, La
sale county, Illinois, and not in Con-
necticut as many papers have stated.
His father was a farmer on a large scale
in Illinois when Dwight was born, and
the son grew up on the farm, a hard
worker during the crop seasons and a
close students at the country school dur
ing the winter months. He was not
satisfied with the range OF studies taught
and devoted his evenings at home to he
mastery Of the higher branches of math-
ematics and civil engineering. After
his fathers death, the son located in
Saltwater, Minnesota, in 1867, he then
being about Is years OF age. He began
dealing in lumber on a limited scale and
capital, but so successful was the VEN
ture that his business gradually increas-
ed and grew to large proportions, SO
that at the present time, after Is years,
he is doing a business of over S1O,OOO,-
900 annually. Besides being the owner
Of a large number of mills in the piner-
les, he is the heaviest stakeholder in the
Northwestern car company Of his state,
and enjoys an annual income rom the
profits of his various enterprises of near
~ $500, 900.
Mr.. Sabin in early life became identi-
fed with politics in Minnesota, and
was elected representative three terms
in the state Legislature; and two terms to
the state senate.
He has been for several years a mem
Der of the republican national committee
for Minnesota, and was a delegate to the
republican national convention Of 1872,
1876 and 1880 respectively. Was elected
chairman Of the republican national
committee, Dec. 18th, 1883, by a unani-
nous vote, and since that honor has
been conferred Mr.. Sabin's availability
as a candidate forthe nomination for the
presidency at the convention in Chicago
next June is being advocated by a large
number Of papers.
Mr.. Sabin was elected to the United
States senate to succeed VIM. Window,
and took his seat March Sd, 1888, his
term expiring March 4th, 1889. He is a
little over 40 years Of age, and reputed to
be worth $40, 00O, 600.
