ODESSA. Nov. ls.-It froze up 50 as to
stopplowing here on Friday night, the
18th. just twodays earlier than last year.
But this week SO far has been 20 warm
that blowing could have been done. if
the SHOW had not hindered the ground
from thawing. 1t looks bad to see SO
much stuhble unturned, but harvest be.
ing go late this year made it ALMOST im-
possible to finish up 'hcfall work.
Many improvements have been made
in this township this year, and the
country begins to look more homelikc.
Whitchill Moore has u neat little house
and barn; Charles Wright a house and
stable; Oscar E. Rice q house; Al and
Ell Becker house and grancry, and
nearly every farmer has been obliged to
build tins in which to store his bounti.
full crops. Doubtless there are many
more improvements which have not
come under our observation, which,
with the hundreds Of acres broken DUR
ing the summer, will add much 10 the
wealth Of our already prosperous town.
G. E. Calderwood and family returned

wheat market and trading point. Mr..
Smith has q neat, roomy store building
with a glass front, and we'll stocked with
general merchandise, which lie is selling
at prices WEIGH compare favorably with
those of Devils Lake. John Crazy has

the spring; that's just tho kind of luck
he deserves.

Marriage Promises in England.

Courtships in England are short and
engagements are long. No sooner is it
understood that a young man and a
young woman are in love than it is
given out that they are engaged. The
American custom of leaving young men
and women free to associate together
and keep company with each other for
an indefinite length of time without de-
claring their intentions is almost I'M
known in any country of Europe. It is
not long after a young man begins to
show the daughter attentions before the
father gives intimation that he wishes
to know what it means, and either the
youth declares his intentions or is noti-
fed to s'cut sticks. Whatever the adj
vantages of the English view of this
matter may have, it has, at least, one
most obvious disadvantage, and that is
it leads to engagements upon too short
an acquaintance, and it makes of the
engagement the counting time rather
than as mere preparation for mar
rage. When once engaged the young
people are drown together in the free
est fashion, and may be left to them
selves at all times and in all places al
most as though they were man and wife.
In the general society of America mar
rage is deemed the vitally important |
event IN life, but in English society the |
engagement is looked upon as the most
important, and really is a sort OF first
stage in natrimony, or the personal
uniting Of the lives only awaiting the
legal ceremony. London Letter to Chi

PETROLEUM.
Its Use ON shipboard and In Mines as Fuel
Increasing.

p =
Petroleum is to all appearance des.
tined TO- effect changes in commerce
and industry, second only to those
wrought by steam itself. Petroleum
waste is already being extensively used
for fuel on Russian railways; the steam
ships on the Caspian use nothing else
1t is said that crude petroleum, after a
few days exposure to the air, may be
used for the same purpose with perfect
safety, and petroleum fuel can be de-
livered at Batum at twenty-six shillings
ton. If the scheme for running pipes
from Paku to Batum be carried ont, it
can be laid down for very much less.
But weight for weight, petroleum goes
nearly three times as far as coal. and
coal being worth at Batum from 42 to
to ton, it follows that 26s. worth of
the liquid is equal to from G8 to 60
worth of the solid fuel. The extinction
OF our coal trade with Russia has be-
come a question of a few months. Nor
IS this all. Petroleum goes into far less
bulk than solid fuel, and can be handled
at lar less cost If it could be used

being pulVerized by jet of superheated
steam-the cost of stocking would be re-
duced to almost nothing. And this Is
no mere dream, but a present reality.
$50 simple is the fuel to use, and so re-
liable is the action of the pulverizer.'
writes Mr.. Marvin, 'sthat the English
and Russian engineers, RUNNING the
steamers from Baku to the mouth of
the Volga, told me that having turned

Another and highly valuable neon

places remote from coal-measures. and
were coal for steam or any other pur-
pose is simply unattainable. There are
arge deposits of it in Beluchistan. the

not well embark in more promising
adventure than a quest for petroleum
springs. The new fuel is not likely to
supersede coal in England; but the
struggle for existence and the lowness
OF freights may compel its adoption by
all steamers which make long voyages.
The resulting economy in our rapidly
lessing coal measures, though it might
not be viewed with satisfaction by the
owners OF collieries, would be an adj
vantage to the community, and in
aetlnlteily postpone that dearth of fuel
with which our industrial supremacy
has SO long been threatened. London
