The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1885-08-06

Major Allen, Engineer Corps, U. S. A.,
at St. Paul, who is in charge of the
government works, reports that three
ofthe reservoirs for improving naviga-
ton on the upper Mississippi have
been completed. The capacity ef these
three are 10000, 100000 cubic feet,
22,ooo,ooo,oo and 3s.ooo.ooo,ooo
feet respectively. To fill them requires
twenty-six months, twenty-four
months and from one to two months
respectively. The object of these res
ervoirs is to accumulate water to be
let out when the rivers are at a low
state and so increase the depth of wa
ter in the channel. He reports that
the experiment has been tried and it
has worked to the satisfaction of the
engineer, and recommends an appro-
priation of $4,000 for further SUI
veys for the reservoir system. Major
Allen simply refers to the ostensible
object of these works; the real object
of those who labofed hardest to push
them forward, was simply to improve
the water of private manufacturing
establishments ON the banks OF the
river. s f: !.

The growth of Western cities IS
among the wonders OF the age. Chi.
cago, st. Paul and Minneapolis never
fail to excite the wonder Of tourists,
while the growth of Kansas City, Mo-,
during the twenty years past, can only
be described as phenomenal. Beginning
in 1866 with population of 5000.
an enumeration just completed gives
it 10000. The assessed wealth in
1870 was 100000; now it is $780,
900, 900. In 1875 the exchanges at
it's Clearing House were $2O,407, 967;
in 1884 they were $l77,176, 468.32.
In 1878 145 permits for new buildings
were issued, the cost of the whole being
1892, OOO; in 1884, 2,121 permits were
issued, to erect buildings costing &c..
5Oo,o 900. In 1872, with q population
OF 80, 900. the municipal debt was ST.
100000; under a growth to 100000
the debt has been reduced to 1,OOO,-
OOO-the most remarkable fact in the
whole exhibit. The city is now great
railroad center, with lines stretching
to every point of the compass, and
embracing q, 900 miles OF track.

The Weather of July.

The signal service observers observations
OF the weather at St. Paul during July, will
apply, generally, to a majority OF points in
the Northwest. He says: The thcrmom-
etrical mercury began rising the latter part
OF June, and July it attained a maximum
Of "a deg: Since then it has religious1y chung
to the seventies and eighties, and
thrice ran up into the nineties. The
maximum was reached July 80,
when, at 5 p. M, the mercury stood at 81
deg, and fingered thercabouts until the at
mosphere was cooled by the heavy hail
storm which fell a half hour later. Though
the maximum of the month was reached
Thursday, Monday last was reallya warm
err day, as the range for that day was less,
and the mean temperature higher. The
mean on Monday was 1872 and on Thurs
day IS degrees. The temperatures given
above were all taken in the shade In the
sun the mercury was 25 or 80 deg. higher.
The highest sun temperature noted in St..
Paul was 1872 deg. According to the signal
service reports the maximum temperature
Thursday was greater than it has been any
day since July !, 1888, when the instrl1-
ment showed 100deg. ThroughoutJuly the
temperature at st. Paul was very even.
One day only was the mean below 60 deg.
Eight days it was below 20 deg, and dur
ing the remainder OF the month it ranged
from G4 TO 70 deg The mean for the
month, according TO the daily reports
made by observer Lyons, and the signal
service corps, was q little moro than 0 deg.

Maud Beats Her Time at Cleveland.

The fleet little mare trotted mile over
slow course in two minutes eight and three
quarter seconds. An account says: The
mare recovered herself, and settled down
to an even clip that was like whirwnd.
She reached the first quarterin 32R-a 2:1O
gait. Then Bair begun to urge her and
she trotted the next quarter in 80 Sec
onds, a 2:OS gait, and reached the half in
1:O4H. She flew on like a bird, and the old
timers began to declare, amidst great en-
thusiasm, that she was breaking her won
derful record. Passing the half she in
creased her speed and went over the back
stretch at a terrific gait. The third quarter
was trotted in 81 seconds, the fastest one of
the mile. On the lower turn she was seen to
raise her head suddenly, and it seemed GER
caught her, however, and on she flew. Com
ing up the home stretch the awful strain
began to tell on her, and she slowed up.
Bair applied the whip, however, and she re-
sponded quickly. She dashed under the
wire a tremendous clip having finished the
last quarter in 33A seconds, and the mile
in 2:O8 q. No one except the judges and
reporters knew that the record had been
broken. There was great excitement in the
judges stand.
President Edwards hastily wrote the fol-
lowing telegram:

Trial of Louis Riel.

The trial OF Louis Riel is progressing at
Regina, N. w. T. Riel's counsel have
ceased to fight intending to build up the
entire defense on the insanity plea. Brown
put in twenty documents identified as in
Riel's handwriting and signed by him, all
Of which were directed to half breeds and
Indians, informing them of his success at
Duck Lake and Fish Creek, and urging
them to raid forts and stores, capture po-
MES, ammunition and arms, and Join the
rebels as soon as possible. Riel was shown
to be the leader OF the movement, etc.
A remarkable scene occurred a few days
ago. Ricl interrupted the proceedings and
asked to be allowed to examine witnesses
himself. Counsel, he said, came from afar
and did not understand the circumstance
and neglected to ask witnesses important
questions. Counsel admitted there was
rupture, and the prisoner refused Informal
ton and assistance in any way. Riel said
he could not allow his moral integrity to
suffer, as counsel was seeking to establish
his insanity. He did not care for mere ami
NAL existence, if not accompanied by the
mental dignity OF an intelligent being. A
long dispute followed. The prisoner and
counsel reached no agreement. Ricl still
pressed the claim to be heard. Counsel
stated that they would abandon the defense
if Riel intcrferred in the case. Riel persist
ed, and asked to have counsel discharged
and he would conduct the case Legal
authorities were quoted and the court
ruled the counsel should defend him. tits
expected that further quarrels will result
in the abandonment OF the defense. :

End of tho Sioux Falls Town Site Case.

Sioux Falls, OAK, Special: An elaborate
opinion was filed by Judge c. s. Palmer, in
the district court, in the famous Shillock-
Pettigrew title case. The case is one in
volving the title to t6o acres of land upon
which the principal residence portion
Of the city of Sioux Falls Is built.
In 1860 one Russell H. Bennett phr-
chased the laid by what is known as Sioux
half-breed scrip OF one Arcange Reed, d
half-breed French Indian, in Trempeleau
county, Wis. After Reeds death, one Shil-
lock, land shark in Minneapolis, obtained
a. pretended title from the heirs OF Mrs Reed
and by thesuecessive transfers this pretend
ed title was conveyed to r. j. Mcndenhall
of Minneapol who is virtually the plain
tilt in the present suit. The case was once
decided by Judge Bennett in the district
court against the claimant under the Shil-
lock title, and it was during that contro-
yersy that the famous race occurred where
in R. i. Pettigrew and one Bottineau, each
with an adverse deed, started for st. Paul
on the same train, and when within a few
miles of Sioux Falls, Mr.. Bottineau and
other passengers in the coach were left on
the track, while Mr.. Pettigrew, on the en-
CINE was brought to town, thus giving his
deed AN hour preference on the record
Judge Palmer decided that the Bennett-
Pettigrcw title is good, and the MendanhaH
claimants have no valid claim. Thus ends
a litigation of material interest to very
large number of the citizens of Sioux Falls,
and upon which the improvements are
worth more than half a million dollars.
