One of the chief factors contributing
more largely than any other to the
rapid settlement in this region was
the building of the Northern Pacific
Railroad through these important
States and Territories. Its construc-
ton was made possible by the liberal
grant of lands made for that purpose
by the general Government. The line
was opened for through traffic about
two years ago, and considering the
progress already made in develop
ing the rich agricultural, grazing,
timber, mineral and other native re-
sources of the broad belt of country
which it traverses, it is safe to predict
that at no distant day this region Of
the West will count its inhabitants by
millions, and the amount of wealth its
people will realize can scarcely be esti'
mated.

lands entered in addition to the lands

A number of gentlemen were discuss
ing carelessness with firearms one night
last week, and during the talk several in
cidents were cited of narrow escapes from
death. Judge Miller gave one: Many
years ago, he secured one of the old flint
lock horse-pistols from the old Court
House, where they were stored awaiting
use at general muster. He cleaned this up
nicely and put good charge into it, giv-
ing it to John R. Mathews, now of the
Portsmouth Times, then a boy. While
getting ready for start on hunting ex-
pedition, John took the old pistol and
playfully pointed it at the hired girl at
Mr.. Miller's, and was about to pull the
trigger, thinking it was empty. Miller
saw him and shouted to him to lower the
weapon, which he did, and prevented a
funeral. Mr.. G. w. Rice produced from
a drawer in his store, an odd-looking gun,
with pistol handle and wire shoulder
piece. This had not been loaded fol-
years. Having it loaded in his house
some years ago, a neighbor boy came in
got the gun, pointed it at Mr.. Rice's
daughter, and snapped it. The failure OF
the cap to explode was all that saved the
young lady's life. The old gun has beer
| empty since.

A week or two ago Kimberlings put
out a sign which said, in substance, that
during the next 80 days they would sell
goods at greatly reduced prices, as they
intended to make some change in their
business. 1 have noticed a great many
women going there to trade. and they
were delighted, declaring that they never
saw such goods sold at such prices.
Kimberlings have an immense stock OF
goods, and it is not strange that they are
running them off at any price. l do not
blame persons who need goods, if they
take advantage of this grand opportunity
to save money. D. M.

The Oil We'll.
LAFE JONES.

Listen my children, and will tell,
About the boring of an oil well;
In the town of Jackson, they commenced to drill,
Not far from the base of the courthouse hill.
And that you may know the very spot,
They erected heir works on Kyle's lot,
That part of the lot which is level and low,
Close by where the waters of Salt Greek flow.
Here the carpenters worked, through and shower
Until they had built high hoisting tower,
From this tower they built long shed of wood,
Along the ground to where the engine stood.
The engine Itself a small concern,
Yet it powerful enough to turn
A large Wheel and as around it would go,
1t moved walking beam to and fro.
When the heated boiler created steam,
A rope was tied to one end of the beam;
At the end of the rope, they tied drill,
Which cut through earth and sand at its will.
Down-down-it rent, many fathoms deep,
Where lime -stone, sand-rock and coal sleep:
And 1t was not long, when 1t came to pass
That the cry went forth: 'They have struck gas"
The operators were much excited,
When they saw the natural gas lighted,
They gather around it, in a crowd,
And praise the oil-well, long and loud.
But alas for mans anticipation,
1t so often meets with sore vexation;
Up comes the large rope, coil after coil,
Bringing almost everything else but oil.
And to make the sadness complete,
At the depth of sixteen hundred feet
Away down far beneath the ground,
Another vein of saltwater is found.
And here they have stopped; so hesr them say,
| To commence their work on another day,
| But what they will do, no tongue can tell,
Before they have finished the oil-well.

At the rifle" on John L. Longs farm
may yet be seen round holes in the solid
rock, somewhat resembling large auger-
holes. There were number of them at
the DUNCAN "riff1e" some years ago. 1t
has long been claimed that these holes
were made by the Indians, and used for
securing salt. The salt water was placed
in the holes, where, by evaporation of the
water. the salt became crystalized and
was scooped out. This may be only the
ory, but the holes are there, and the salt
water was there.
