Editor GRAPHIC:
! desire to give you a little
nation concerning the true inM.s
ness of the Dakota Land and Town
Lot COMPANY, of which King, Stearns,
kellam and Inglis are very conspic-
uous persons. When a number of
the lesser lights originated and star
ted the new town site across Ameri-
can creek the ID. L. 81 T. i. Co. Sc
lected lots also, individually of course,
and as soon as they were urged to go
on with their Improvements and take
their families there to reside they re-
belled and not a single one of them
now have any. interest whatever in
the new town. OF course they would
like to control the lots and sell 22x-
1870 feet for from 5000 to $1,000 each
but when the requirements were an
actual and bona-fide residence, they
revolted. Now what | am after is
this: Through their Vaccinations
they induced the County Commits
%sioness to rent the Hendershott build
ing For county officers. This building
is in the extreme south part of town.
Tie Brule Co. Bank or its friends
holds a mortgage on the Hendershott
building for every dollar it will bring
and of course the rent will go in the
hands Of the Oak. J.. 81 n T.. Co.
Besides this same Town-site company
ownes ait, OF about all, the vacant
lots in the south end of town and
they opine that locating the county
| Offices in the Hendershott building
will cnchance the value of their lots.
Another new scheme is on foot.
Johnny King, Stearns and their pet
engineer, Colborne, have just com
pieted the survey for a public road
leading from Chamberlain on the
south side of American creek, passing
near Skerry's house and running east
erly for about or a little over a mile
along American creek, then cross the
railroad, 20 north-easterly TO the prai-
RTE recently opened for settlement
and run To- we'll 1 can't tell, possibly
to HI, ct anyrate the proposed road
is to go right on in a nortlreasterly
direction regardless Of section lines,
dwellings, barns, improvements of
any kind, or even fences. Yon will
remember, Mr.. Editor, all the land
east of Chamberlain adjacent thereto
and south of American creek belongs
to this Oak. land and Town Lot CO.,
and they would like to have our
County Commissioners lay out and
grade a read for them, and thus
make their lots-yes gumbo lots
available. Will the commissioners
do it? They seem inclined to be very
warm friends of the Oak. l.. d I. l..
Co. Judging by their, past actions.
Another word: A good road can be
made with very little expense on the
north side, reaching to the prairie.
Then let section lines be the road as
the law directs.

On Saturday afternoon last Fred
Warner, who lives on his $50 acre
farm q miles south of town, had the
misfortune to lose his barn by fire,
entailing a loss Of about $500 with
no insurance. The barn caught from
a prairie fire which had been grad
ually working over the farm from the
south and west and which Mr.. War
ner had been fighting with wet mops
all day in order to keep it ont of his
pasture. The fire crept up to the
barn in rspite Of all efforts to prevent
it an9 his horses were liberated by
cutting their halters and several head
of stock that happened to be in the
barn We're driven out just in time.
Everything else in the way of laar-
nesses, wagons, tools etc, were
burned. A fire break surrounded the
premises, but not a sufficient one. Z.
Pattee and others living near By
came near meeting with a similar loss
on the same day.
The following letter which is from
one of the most prominent and reIi-
j able business men of Chamberlain,
was received last week but too late

In an edition OF the Rural Press, IN
which large space is given to dairy
matters, il is Of course fitting that dairy
stock should figure prominently. Those
interested in short horns and Jerseys
have furnished us local data. but the
Ayrshire men and the Devon men, and
some other dairy stock men, have ne
elected to comply with our invitation.
We trust they will respond hereafter,
for although this is especially dairy
issue, our readers know that each week
We are glad to present all interesting
and important facts relating to the live
stock and dairy interests Of the coast
Let this then be a new suggestion and
reminder to all to send US the results Of
their experience and observations The
Holstein bull Neptune, No tn. Of the
Holstein Herd book, was imported by
Smiths & Powell, and is the only living
son Of Aaggie (ooD, the dam Of Aaggie
and (I36o). He was calved March
s3d, 1880. His sire was Jacob I. N.

he by Rocker Jacob Is dam. Trintje,
N. H., IS; has record Of 80 lbs Of
milk in one day. Jacobs dam, De
Soede. prize COW at the Paris Exposi
ton. has q record OF 81 lbs 3 ozA in
one day
Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1885-02-07

Aaggie sd, full sister to Neptune,
has the largest two-year.old record
known, having given in one year III
746 lbs. ozs., and made a lbs. 8 ozs.
Of butter in one week, on dry feed.
Lady Clifden, sister to Aggie, gave
1925 lbs Of milk in one year, which at
the time exceeded any previous record
As the Holsteins are continuing to at.
tract so much attention from farmers
on this coast we present further facts
and reports.
A writer in the Western Agricul.
turist says this breed seems to possess
combination of all the qualities
desired in cattle.
As a breed they are very large. The
males weigh from 1000 to $500 lbs.
cows from 1900 to 1900 lbs. In
color they are always black and white
sometimes one color predominates and
sometimes the other
As milk producers they have no
equal Some Of the best cows give,
when fresh, from 9 to IA gallons OF
milk day Many of them milk the
year round In fact, it is practically
impossible to cause some Of them to
run dry, at least such has been the
experience of the writer.
For example, Astrea 4th commenced
to give milk three months before her
| first calf was due or made its appear
ance the tendency in her to produce
milk was such that this course was
found to be absolutely necessary.
When her calf was 10 months old. she
was producing 80 lbs. of milk a day,
and VIC made an effort to dry her of,
but this tendency to produce milk was
superior to our skill. She milks from
one calving to the next
Another registered COW, Astrea 9th,
now six years old, has bred regularly
every year since she was two, and has
not missed mill ing, except when we
were trying to have her run dry.
Grade Holstein cows seem to milk
about as well as full-bloods Several
halfblood Holsteins, 3 years old, and
from high grade Short-horn COWS, pro
duce, when fresh, from S to gallons
a day on grass alone, and of course,
when they are fully mat6Eed, they
yield much more. One grade Hol-
stein heifer from pure-bred Short
horn COW, when years old gave 40
lbs OF milk day.
AS for the quality Of the milk for
butter or cheese, it is splendid. In the
month of June we find it takes from
90 to 81 lbs. milk to make a pound OF
butter. In November, 20 lbs. Of milk
will make a pound of butter For a
pound of cured full cream cheese it
took last June 9 IT'S lbs. of milk.
The butter is of excellent quality AT
many of the larger fairs Holstein butter
has taken the premium over Jersey
butter. The butter has the reputation
Of retaining its flavor longer than any
other kind, hence it is superior for
shipping or packing.
Holstein cows have the highest but
ter records known. Holstein cattle fat
well and the beef is of good quality.
Butchers claim that they never slaugh-
tered animals that gave any better
satisfaction. Holstein cross well on
our native cows, and on high grade and
pure-bred Short-horn COWS the cross
for practical purposes probably has no
equal, combining successfully, as such
a cross does, great yield of milk,
butter, cheese and excellent beef

Quiet Meeting Of the Nershsrn Pacific
0to0kholdsrs.

Tho annual meeting OF the stockholder Of
the Northern Pacific in New York on the
18th, though not very largely attended, was
participated In by number Of large cap
italists, including j. P. Morgan, Elijah
Smith, Frederick Billings, Brayton Ives OF
New York, D. NJ. Swett Of Portland, Or,
J. g. Bullitt, G. 8. Fog, and c. B. Wright oi
Philadelphia. President Harris read the
annual report, and called Col. swett to the
vote for directors was at once proceeded
with. The only business presented was
the annual report and a resolution offered
by Mr.. Morgan instructing the incoming
board not to incur any floating debt
in the construction Of any new road or
roads. The resolution was adopted. The
resolution does not mean that the Cas-.
cade division will not be built, but that the
company will not run into debt in it's con-
struction. The voting proceeded quietly
and without the slightestinterruption The
expected injunction to prevent Messrs Nor.
gan and Ives from voting the Oregon Trans.
continental stock was not served. President
Smith, ofthe latter company, applied to two
Judges in this city. Barrett and bonohue, for
the injunction but they refused to grant It.
The stock inquestion amounted to / 90, 900
Morgan voted "a 900 shares, Mr.. Ives 10.
900, President Smith $4,000, and the
Northern Pacific directors committee 81.
600. c. d. Wright voted 217,OOO shares.
This stock was all voted for the old board,
except by Mr.. Morgan, who scratched the
name OF the representative OF the Oregon
Transcontinental in the Northern Pacific,
Tho old board was unanimously elected,
and the present officers will all be re-elect.
ed. The Oregonlease was not referred to, ,ex.
cept in q causual way by President Harris,
who said it was not time yet to take any
action upon it, Thus ended peaceably and
quietly what promised to be contest for
the control Of tho Northern Pacific. The
contending parties were President Smith
and Director Billings on one side and C. w.
Wright and j. p. Morgan on the other.
The bone Of contention apparently WINS the
lease OF the Oregon Navigation company,
but it was really IL fight between the repre-
scntatives Of the old Willard interests and
those OF the Northern Pacific proper.

Important Railroad Decision.

About q year ago John B. Sheldon, a
country shipper, began q suit against tho
Burlington e. Quincy in tho United States
circuit court ut Chicago to recover damages
for alleged charging Of extortionate freight
rates. He claimed the rates were in excess
OF tho maximum rates as fixed by rail-
road commissioners. The company filed
pleas setting out that it was organized by
the consolidation OF five or six other Iii.
nois railroads, all Of which, snvc one, had
the right by their charters to the amount
OF charges for carrying freight and passcn.
gers. Demurrcrs were fled to the pleas and
argued some months ago before Judge
Gresham at Chicago. Tho court decided
that the consolidated company took
its character from tho charter OF
the constituent companies, and that
one OF these companies was subject to
legislative control, and that the consoli.
dation was voluntary on the part OF several
companies. The case stood, judge Grcs-
ham held, just ns il the defendant had been
organized by the consolidation OF but two
companies, ono independent OF legislative
control and the other subject to
such control, and that in all cases in
which doubts arose as to the powers OF cor
porations thereto, doubts should be re.
solved in favor Of the public. The case
will be carried to the supreme court. Under
Judge Gresham's decision the company will
be compelled to conform to the rates fixed
by the railroad commissioner.

were Obliged to break up two days short.

will be paid in full. With good weather
the receipts would not have been less than
