We take pleasure in presentig oar
readers the following excellent pencil
sketch of gentleman who has rendered
perhaps greater service to the cause Of
Bakota's statehood than any non-resi-
dent. Mr.. Heath, though young man
only % years of age, is one of the most
influential and popular of the prominent
Washington newspaper correspondents
and TO him is largely due the promi-
nence accorded to orr cause throughout
the public print lie first became in
terested in Dakota in 1881 when he spent
his summer vacation in Aberdeen.
Though that city was in its infancy and
his life was in complete contrast to his
accustomed city surroundings. he be-
came infatuated with Dakota and his
ardor and faith increases with time.
Mr. Heath is an Indianian by birth
and belongs to one of the sterling
pioneer families of that state. He is a
natural born journalist. He entered 5
printing Office at thirteen years CT age
and in less than two years was the fast
est compositor in the state, After reg
ular promotion through the mechanical,
business and editorial departments Of
several leading journals. at the age Of
eighteen he began the work OF cor
respondent. He is man of broad,
liberal ideas by nature, heightened by
his newspaper experience. He is
generous and frank, shrewd and saga
cious, and possesses an intellect that
shines with marked luster even at the
capital of the nation and is as the Indian
on the war path. He is a favorite
among the leading public men at the
capital and is the direct representative
of papers having a circulation Of over
one and a hall million copies daily, or
over Eve million daily readers. Mr..
Heath is wen remembered by the mem
bers of the frst Sioux Falls convention,
upon which he attended. His manage
ment of the press dispatches during the
session was really the establishment Of
the statehood movement in public con-

he was presented with most fatteriDg
autograph testimonial signed by all the
delegates end also vote of thanks.
During the present session no friend of
Dakota ever asked hini favor at any
hour of the day or night that he did not
eheerfully grant without money and
without price, and never did an enemy
Of Dakota succeed in controlling HIM.
He is man of positive opinions and al
though most polite and affable he is alb
solutely impegnable alike to fattery.
threats and corruption. He is absolutely
fearless as a writer, welded to his pro-
fession, of splendid physique, and con-
siitntion like iron which enables him to
endure work which would awe ordinary
men. When Dakota is admitted and
Mr.. Heath visits her, he ought to be ac
corded an ovation throughout her
borders.

One plan for settling the vexed Chi
nese question has been suggested and a
beginning made. That is to ship the
Chinese of the Western coast to Mexico.
A contract with the Mexican government
permitting this is reported to have been
made, and sixty Chinese left Portland,
Oregon, for Mexico few days since.
In that country there win be very little
objection to them because of their com
petition with native labor. The great
difficulty which enterprise encounters
there is to induce any class of the popu-
lation to do any work.

From present indications the strike

wages is likely to extend to laborers,

laborers of all kinds, and manufac-
turing as well as all other business
is likely to suffer severely before

The production and use of wheat
throughout the civilized world have been
so general through all time tnas a history
which gave an account of the times of
prosperity and decline of it's various ma
tions, together with all OF the causes that
produced thes, Aanges, that did not in
clude full history of the wheat product
of the country for the period referred to
within its pages, would be an imperfect
one. The history of this cereal is as old
as that of man; its name is word of
every language, ancient or modern, and
no country can claim its origin. 1t was
the first article in commerce of which we
have any account, and it has always been
the staff of life of every country as soon
as its people ceased to depend on game
and fish for the means of support. Spec
ulations in wheat, too, are not of recent
date alone. These had been carried on
thousands of years before frogs and mos
quitoes ceased to be the only inhabitants
of Chicgo, and befyre candidates for y
S. Marshall of that district had been
heard of. Indeed we are informed that
the largest grain operation of which his
tory gives an account was when Pharaoh
was ruler of the mistress of the world
ana WHen dOSepn SD lnOTOunly uDUeT-
stood the market and market and made
such large transactions The result not
only showed his financial ability, but the
good judgement he displayed in the use
of his ready money Still another fact
is also demonstrated as a result of Jos
eph's large speculation, which is that in
those early ages wheat was the financial
ruler of Egypt as well as of the sur
rounding countries, 1t has been equally
true since the Pheraohs that wheat rules
the world, and we need not refer to in
stances as all have but TO recall the facts
that periods of depression in trade and
manufactures. in other words, "hard
times" are the result of great decline
IN the price of wheat.
On the other hand, instead of being the
staff of life and the leading article of
commerce, fruit and vegetables have al
ways taken a secondary position in trade
and as articles of food. For this reason,
the value of the soil of the country or
locality in popular estimation depends
largely upon its adaptability TO the pro
duction Of wheat. and land that is consid
cred unfit for for wheat raising, although
Of the finest quality, and in the best To-
cations for fruit, would be passed by rs
comparatively worthless. We presume
that il has not been the large aggregate
