Canon Farrar's New Book.

A few weeks ago, when Canon Farrar was
in this country, tens of thousands of people
paid as much as one dollar each to hear
single lecture delivered by him, and were
well pleased with what they got for their
money. Several of the most important of these
lectures and addresses, with other papers, are
now published by John B. Alden, of New York,
and can now be had in a very handsome CLOTH
bound volume, for the price Of 40 cents. Some
Of the lectures are also published separately in
his EIzevir Library, in which form the lecture
on Dante sells for three cents; on Temperance,
2cents; on Ideals Of Nations, 2cents; Thoughts
on America, cents. The millions of intelli-
gent people who admire Canon Farrar and who
were not able to hear him lecture, will be de-
lighted to find his Brilliant scholarly and elo-
quent thoughts placed in this handsome form
within their reach. The publisher illustrated
catalogue, 1872 pages, is sent to any address on
receipt of cents; or condensed catalogue free

Tree Culture.

The department Of agriculture, In it's forestry
division, has prepared a schedule for the obser-
vations of tree life, and accompanying it, of
weather conditions, for the purpose Of aiding
an interest in forestry work. Everybody inter-
ested in tree culture is invited to apply to the
department for these blanks, as the forestry
division Is anxious that these observations
should be noted by very large number of per-
SONS. The objects Of the department are, first,
to note progress Of local developments In tree
life for the purpose of enlarging knowledge Of
biological conditions; second, to arrive at con-
clusions as to relative climatic conditions as
expressed by phases Of plant development;
third, to determine period Of vegitation Of Diff
ferent species; fourth, to ascertain the relative
dependence of different species on climatic
conditions, determining relatively time for
planting; and, fifth, to enable comparison Of
behavior Of same species under climatic condi-
tions Of different localities, thus allowing pre-
liminary estimates of capacity Of the species
for acclimation. The season is too far ad-
vanced to obtain all the points required this
year, yet the department gives assurance that
even partial reports will be acceptable.
As this is matter Of special interest to our
Dakota friends, we would urge them to avail
themselves OF the opportunity to aid the agri-
cultural department in a matter of 80 much
importance to their territory.-St. Paul Globe

Sparks the RebelliOus,

A Washington special to the st. Paul Pioneer
Press says: Secretary Lamar rescinded Commits
sioner Sparks order in relation to the issue Of
land patents to actual settlers early in April,
and directed the commissioner to issue patents
when the title was established and all the laws
compld with, unless there was direct charge
Of fraud or irregularity. Nearly month has
passed since Mr.. Sparks order was revoked,
yet no patents have issued and mono are likely
to issue SO long as Commissioner Sparks con-
tipues in his rebelIious attitude. After rscelv-
ing the secretary's order Mr.. Sparks felt very
much humiliated and threatened to resign.
He did not resign, however, but swore a big
oath that he would not issue patents unless
every claimant should convince Sparks that his
claim was not fraudulent. Thus far Sparks
has adhered to his resolution, and virtually de-
fed the secretary. Mr.. Sparks did, however,
make a pretense Of obeyipg the secretary's Or.

RAILROAD EXTENSION.
Ono Of the NIagnates Of the Manitoba
Arrives at Hope.

ArrlEeS AZ HOpcs
A special train consisting of sleeper, din
ing and baggage car arrived here on Thursday
evening in charge Of Superintendent Kemp,
having on board MIR. H. D. Minot, first vice
president Of the Manitoba road, Mr.. John Mil
Ter, manager Of tho Dwight Farm and Land
company, and q gentleman whose name we
did not learn. A rig had been ordered by wire
and was in readiness when the train arrived
and the three gentlemen almost Immediately
started from Hope in northwesterly direc-
tion, 1t is presumed with the intention of look
ing the country over between Hope and the
northwest end Of Steele county, and thence the
party will 60 across the county to Portland, al
which point Superintendent Kemp will meet
them with his special train and proceed to
DEVILS Lake. In conversation with PIONEER
reporter Mr.. Minot stated that the Manitoba
company had received many applications for
an extension Of the Hope branch, but his CON-
pany Nas not prepared at present to accede to
these requests unless there existed an actual
necessity for such extension. Mr.. Minot thought
it only natural that tho people should be de-
sirous to get the road extended, but the CON-
pany had sufficient new road under way to oc-
cupy their attention for the present. He ex-
pressed himself much pleased with this sec
ton Of Dakota, and hoped and expected to see
itrapidly develop. Mr.. Minot has the appear
ance Of being very young man for one occu-
pying such an important position, but has the
reputation OF being one of the best informed
and shrewdest railroad men in the country. He
is also, we believe, director in the c. B. & Q.
road.
There are many surmises as to the object of
Mr.. Minots visit at the present time in COM
pany with Mr.. Miller Of the Dwight Farm COM
pany, who own nearly all the railroad lands
in 147 and 14S, ranges Sc and 81, and between
which company and the railroad it Is claimed
there exists contract to the effect that when
ever the land company will break up and cul-
tivate sufficient number Of acres to justify it
the railroad will be extended SO as to carry cut
the grain raised. Aud it is thought that should
personal inspection satisfy Mr.. Minot that the
present settlement of the country between
Hope and the Dwight lands, together with the
addition which would result from the develop
ment Of those lands, justify it, the road will be
extended next spring and summer. This does
not appear an unreasonable view, and is prob
ably very near the truth.

The early sown grain is now up and looking
fine. Nest of the larger farmers will finish
seeding this week.
Farmers generally through this section will
summer fallow portion of their old fields this
season. This is a move in the right direction.
Not how much, but how well, seems to be the
motto.
Less wheat but more oats, barley, flax and
root crops will be planted than usual this
spring.
The present fine and thrifty appearance Of
timothy sown year ago has encouraged many
farmers to seed down still more land to grass
this spring. Clover has not done so well with
