Such may be Justly chosen as the APP
propriate appellation of the immense
stretch of country from st. Paul and
Minneapolis westward and northward
to the coasts of Oregon, Washington
and Alaska. The beautiful fields and
lovely lakes of Minnesota, the broad
and fertile plains of Dakota; the
many wonders of Yellowstone Nation
al Park; the grandure of the Rocky
Mountains, both in the United States
and Canada; the grand forests, -majes-
tic rivers and impressive scenery of
the Pacific Coast, constitute a success
sion of 'wOnderlands. These great
and attractive lands can be reached
by the great trunk lines of railroads
running west from st. Paul and Min
neapolis, with whose trains, in CON-
modious and elegant union depots,
"The Burlington" makes close con-
nectIons. See that your tickets for
the North read "via Chicago, Bur-

ow of brother of Gov. Lee, of Yir-
ginia, made application to the police
of this city this week for bread for
her children. Her husband died here
last April; he left about $4,000 to
his children, but one OF his brothers
was appointed administrator, and the
poor widow was informed that she
could get no money before the expira-
ton of the legal limit-twelve months.
The secret of this unjust treatment is
hatred. The Lee family never in any
manner recognized Capt. Lee after he
married. as they thought beneath his
social station. What commentary
ON our boosted civilization is case
like this.
Senator Farwell has introduced a
bill in the Senate to give Mrs. Sheri-
dan pension of $1,000 year.
A committee of the House has re-
ported in favor of abolishing the
steam plate printing presses now in
use at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, and the printing of all Gov

Mill and Gin.
Correspondence of the Gazette.

SClltS pOilGCllCS "a ILlG bdLGltt-
HASKELL CITY, Ten, Dec. I7.-Our
little city is prospecting and our county is
on the eve of q big boom from present
indications. Immigrants are dropping
in from all quarters, buying land, open
ing up farms, building houses and plant
ing orchards, etc. our farmers have
finished sowing wheat and rye and are
about through gathering their crops of
cotton and corn The yield is much
greater than at first expected. Cotton
has produced One-half to ont-third bale
per acre, and the lint is as fine i'll quality
as the finest, and invariably commands
the top of the market in price. Corn has
averaged thirty-live bushels per acre,
while a great deal of land has produced
fifty bushels to the acre
Stonewall county, just west Of and ad-
joining Haskell, is TO organize on the 10th
of this month, and many are the farmers
dropping i'll there.
There will be a larger acreage i'll
wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn and cot
ton by far planted III Haskell, KNOX and
StonewulI counties this year than ever
before. Wheat is growing and looking
fine. The citizens OF those counties are
continually passing through our city now
on their route to Albany and Abilene, q
distance of forty and sixty miles to get
their cotton ginned and grain ground, be-
cause we have neither mill or gin i'll this
county. There is Il better opening now
in Haskell City for Il good Touring and
corn mill and cotton gin than i'll any
place in the west, and if some euterpris-
ing man or firm Will establish Il mill and
gin here the coming season, there will be
Il rich harvest i'll store for him. In fact
it would have paid well this winter.
1t will be remembered that all of
Haskell, Stouewall and Knox counties
and a great portion of ThrOckmorton,
Shackeiford and Jones counties, which
lie adjacent to Haskell, would come to
Haskell to do their trading ana get their
milling and ginning done if there were Il
mill and gin here. There is also one of
the finest water powers here i'll the edge
of the city, for machinery of this kind,
that can be found elsewhere west of the
BraZos river. A large spring gushes
forth its strains of pure, living, cold
water, which makes its way off southeast
from town i'll large branch and cmpties
its volume into Mule creek, about four
miles from town. We have had
ample rains this fall and winter to insure
small-grain crops and the prospects for a
large crop another year are very Halter
ing, and no doubt there will be 1000
bales OF cotton, 80 900 bushels Of wheat
and 100 900 bushels of corn raised ada
cent to Haskell City the coming season.
Property for mill machinery can be had
very cheap. Any one interested i'll this
enterprise may correspond for particulars
with F. p. Morgan of Haskell City, who
will give him the desired information.
The weather is now exceedingly fine
and pleasant. Several fine tracts of rich,
level, farming lands have been sold the
past month at from 81 so to So per acre.

LAND LAW PROBLEMS.
Some observations Applicable to the State in
General and the Panhandle in
Particular.
FORT WORTH TEX, Dec. is, 1888.


To the Gazette.
While the subject of altering the land
laws of Texas is being agitated please al
low me to say few words from personal
observation of the. state in general and
the Panhandle in particular.
1 have been travelling over the state
most of the time for ten years, and like
MANY others have seen many pieces of
school ana state land that I would like TO
own and live on. But knew from the
experience of others that it was out of
my reach.
The Panhandle needs no recommends
ton from me as to its fertility and
adaptability. There is no where better
soil combined with healthy climate.
Yet home in the Panhandle is out of
reach of the poor man.
The poor can't get it, and the rich
don t wantit, (if they have to live on it y
In all new countries it has been the
poor man who settled it and the rich i'm
proved it.
Nebraska, Kansas and other western
states were settled, principally by hard
working poor men who had 10 ''rustle'
for the Sl4 they paid for their home
steads, and could hardly spare time from
"'making living'' to be on their claim
once in six months and do the work re-
quired by law.
If they had been governed by the pres
ent land laws of Texas, il is likely, that
where those beautiful farms now are
would be the home of the cowboy and the
buffalo.
There is no reason save the want of
cultivation that the Panhandle should
not develop into as good farming coun-
try as the Republican valley.
l helped to surrey a portion of Ne
braslla on the Republican i'll 1868 and it
looked great deal worse than the Pan
handle did last year or this. You can
note similar changes in any new prairie
country.
1t takes farmers to bring about this
change and make Il tax-paying country
out of our waste land.
But farmers that want homes cannot
go to new country and
pay down $50, build Il house,
fence their land, dig well 200 feet deep,
buy seed, and nave enough to live on
for Il year and pay the So interest,
and even if they have, the failure to pay
that So any subsequent year may cause
them TO lose their claim. More than that
they can not seek employment else where
for they must live on their claim. No
new land will yield good crop the first
year and sometimes for several years.
Instead of continual occupancy, if a
man was only required to be on his claim
once III six months and to be Il resident
of the state, and to do certain amount
of Improvement each year.
And instead of FORGETTING both claim
and the money paid out, upon failure to
pay interest when due.
If by paying compound inter-
est the time could be extended,
then if forfeited, pay back to
purchaser say all payments made except
the interest, and as much of the interest
as would pay for the Improvements, and
add the cost of such permanent improve
ments to the value of that piece of land,
to be paid for by the next purchaser.
1t does seem as though some provision
should be made to further induce actual
settlers, and to encourage agriculture-
the foundation of our future glory.

dered White Boy
Special to the Gazette.
Fort SMITH, ARK, Dec. 20.-James
Martin, fine specimen of the Indian ne
gro, was convicted of manslaughter in
the federal court this afternoon for the
killing of Louis DickersOn, white boy
about eighteen years of age, in August
last on the Patton ranch near Vinita,
Cherokee nation. Martin was arrested
shortly after the killing and indicted for
murder, but the jury in his case reduced
the grade of the crime as above.
1t seems DckersOn had on several
occasions visited the home of
Martin and made trouble with the latter 5
wife. On the day of the killing DECKER
son went to Martin s house during his
absence and got into Il row with Mrs
Martin and then left. Martin came
home shortly afterwards, and learning of
what had TRANSFERRED, took his Winchester
and went i'll quest of the young man.
They met on the prairie and Dickerson
attempted to draw pistol, when Martin
grabbed it, and in the struggle that en-
sued the weapon was discharged, killing
the young man, and his dying declara-
ton was that Martin shot at him before
he attempted to draw his pistol. Martin
was represented at the trial by the best
legal talent to be had here.
