Seeing The Northwest

A party of Eastern passenger and
advertising agents of the st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Manitoba railway
visited this county on Monday and
Tuesday OF this week. They left st.
Paul July 10th, and will visit the
principal points of interest along the
various lines of the road, returning to
st. Paul on August 3rd. Monday af-
ter noon was passed in Hancock, i'll
specting the farming lands adjacent,
spending considerable time upon the
"Hancock Farm" of the Minnesota
Agricultural Company. Tuesday
morning at 800 their sleeper was
side-tracked here. They breakfasted
at the Bcmls House after which they
visited II portion OF the valley Of the
Pomme dc Terre river and II. Z. JEFF
ferson's "Plcasant View Stock Farm"
! Upon this trip they were accompanied
10y f.. 2. Watson, superintendent OF
the farm visited, H. B. Wolff, ID. w.
Watson, \. Del[ay, the editor Of the
TRIBUNE and few others. Return
ing the party dined at the Bemis
House and, at $50 in the afternoon
! left for Wahpeton, where they stop
this forenoon. The principal object
of these gentlemen in making this
trip is to obtain by personal observa-
ton, Il more accurate and extended
knowledge of the country tributary to
the road they represent. Each Is
making Il judicious use Of his note
book and will be prepared, upon re-
turning home, to write intelligently
and quite comprehensively Of the
territory visited. These articles APP
pearing in Eastern papers Will at
tract general attention ana will doubt
less result in turning tourists and
land hunters in this direction. All
expressed themselves as being highly
pleased with what they saw, both at
Hancock and in Morris, and we think
that Stevens county Will be renem-
bercd in most favorable light and
that we may expect to receive our
full share of the benefits to be derived
from their labors. The members of the
party arc as follows:
II. f. McNally, General travelling
agent, Toronto, Canada; J. NJ. Huck-
ms, travelling agent, Toronto, Canada,
E. G. LAURENCE, passenger agent,
Chicago; S. l.. Warren, New York
and New England passenger agent;
E. P. Allen, travelling agent, Pitts
burg, Penn; D. w. H. Moreland,
travelling agent, Detroit, Mich: Ed
Fishback, travelling agent, Indianapo-
lis, Ind; A. W. Browning, travelling
agent, Chicago; VIM Abel, travelling
agent, Milwaukee and E. G. Jaftray,
travelling agent, Des Moines, Iowa:
Mrs. S. L. Warren, Miss Browning,
Mrs. McNally, Mrs. Moreland and
daughter, Cora, were also in the party.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. L. Warren are the
parents of C.. H. Warren the general
passenger agent of the road and are q
most estimable couple. All in the
party are Intelligent and sociable and
are people with whom it isa genuine
pleasure to meet and associate.

Many Millions Saved.
LAND NOW HELD BY RAILROADS RES
TORED TO THE PEOPLE BY
COMMISSIONER
SPARKS.

COMMISSIONER
SPARKS.
Washington, July 13.-Land commits
sioner Spark has rendered a decision
affirming the right of entry under the
public land laws, and decisions of
the supreme court of the United
States of lands heretofore withdrawn
by the voluntary action of the general
land Office for railroad idemnity pur-
poses, where no requirements of law
existed for making such Withdrawals,
The effect of this decision, if sustained
by the secretary of the interior, will
be to restore to entry under the home
stead and other laws many millions of
acres of public lands which have
been kept out of the market for
many years because claimed by rail-
road corporations. In the course of
this decision, which is quite lengthy,
the commissioner cites from leading
decisions of the supreme court and
concludes as follows: "Following
these decions, by the authority of
which l am governed, IL must hold
that withdraw of land by the com.
missioner of the general land Office
when Withdrawals from settlements,
entry or other appropriations only as
information in defining the limits
within which. idemnity selections
may be made in a proper time and
manner, but it is not operative as a
prohibition Of settlements and entries
within such limits under the public
land laws prior to the time when law
full selections by the railroad company
has actually been made This deci-
sion was brought out by an inquiry
from the receiver of the land office ut
Walla Walla, w. r., as to whether or
not the Northern Pacific Railway
company is entitled to the land regu-
larry settled upon by one Miller, but |
which was by a change in the line of |

English papers state that the prac
tice oflitigants conducting their cases
in person is one that seems to be daily
gaining ground in England. Occasion
ally jury will make strange blum
ders, says a writer, but as rule, what
they want is to have the facts brought
fairly before them. This a counsel
often does not do. He is thinking of
the rules Of evidence, or be fancies
that it would be polite to suppress
this particular fact or to avoid that
particular circumstance, Or in some
other way to tinesse the evidence.
This is what d Jury dislike. They
can get on much better with a litigant
in person who blurts everything out
with a supreme contempt for all es-
tablished rules, and who if 2 thing is
not evidence. will somehow make it
90.

chant replied, II would think you

holds that the property levied upon by

required to re-deliver it, or if disposed

Our advice to all farmers holding
wheat is not to sell until better prices
prevail, unless they are compelled to
do SO. The winter wheat crop is now
harvested or so nearly harvested that
there is but little chance to mistake
its yield in quantity, and estimating
the spring wheat crop at its best there
is certain to be q falling off of I5O
millions bushels from the average
yield of series of past years, WHICH is
ISL 100000 bushels less than the yield
of 513,0 00, 900 last year. Making full
