"You speak of enterprises in the

lust returned from Arizona to Ogden
of the Philadelphia Press, "but what
do You think of purchase of 100000
acres of land? Such an Investment has
recently been made by n Philadelphia
syndicate in Arizona and New Mexico.
This firm has bought the alternate sec
tions of the land grant to the Atlantic
IL Pacific Railroad, and by 50 doing
they practically control the remaining
sections, and just see what an immense
tract of territory they will own. OF
course they have secured this immense
country for the purpose of raising
cattle, and ii is the finest land in the
whole grant to that railroad Did yOI
ever think Of the amount of land that
has been given the various ralroll
companies in the grants that have becn
made to thcmg' Nor Then take this
road of which l have spoken, 1t was
given every alternate section; that is,
the odd sections along the entire line
of its track. Now its track extends Il
distance of 800 miles. OF course n
portion of the way it goes through n
region that is perfectly barren, but
there is enough of good territory to
give the company an amount of land
that is almost appalling. Similar
grants have been made to other roads,
and thus the amount of the public do
main that has been given away by acts
of Congress is almost incnlculable.
Much of the land that has thus been
given away and appropriated by the
railroads has never been surveyed, and,
according to the homestead law, Il man
might go upon any of this unsurveyed
land and prc-empt his 100 acres with
out knowing that he was liable to be
turned out by the railroad company
when it was found that he had occu-
pied portion of their grant.

Eufaula, Alabama, has newspaper
called the Times, and that newspaper
has an editor who is, fguratively speak
ing, on his ear. His southern sensitive.
ness is touched to the extent that he
speaks Of the "snappish pig-headed and
spiteful editors of Yankton," and invites
them to stop lying about the Eufaula
Times and the down trodden white peo.
pie OF the sunny south. This effusion of
wrath is instigated by the Press and Da-
kotalan reference to the Eufaula report
that several Yankton colored men had
beenkilled by cowboys,aDd by our conclu-
sion that the story was manufactured for
the purpose of inducing other industri-
GUS colored people to sbandon their in
tention to migrate from Alabama to Da-
kota. For the sake of avoiding areu.
ment We are willing to concede that the
Times has vlndicated itself and it's peo-
pie. The world will now proceed to

General Hazen, chief of the weather
bureau. some time ago, sent out circulars
containing information regarding the
tecl,nial terms applied by the bureau for
the designation of storms which occur
at this season of the year. The official
term for the small twisting wind storms
which create great destruction on the
prairies of the west is tornado" and not
Cyclone" as they are generally called.
A cyclone is storm Of large extent, and
may be several hundred miles in diameter.
All storms have the circular motion, but
those designated as cyclones cover such
vast area of country that, locally ap.
piled. they produce steady blow from
q given point Of the compass. A tornado
is an exaggerated whirlwind of compare
lively small dimensions. which destroys
everything it touches, while the cyclone
may exhibit great force without destruc-
tive results. Webster defines q cyclone
as
"a rotary storm or whirlwind of ex-
tended circuit"
His definition of tornado is
"a violent gust of wind, or tempest,
distinguished by whirling, progressive
motion, usually accompanied with severe
thunder, lightning and torrents Of rain
and commonly of short duration and
small BREADTH"
The weather bureau adopts the Web
sterian definitions and when it SPEAKS OF
cyclones it means extensive storms
which advance over several states or ter.
ritories, while the word tornado means
small storm. but one destructive to life
and property. The pathway of q cy-
clone can be marked out in advance
with tolerable accuracy, but sclentlsts
are yet unable to locate tornadoes until
after their destructive work is accom-
plished. When community is official.
~ notified, es Yankton was last week.
that cyclone is approaching, it will
quiet their alarm to some extent to re-
call the difference beteen q cyclone and
tornado.
