ITS OWN TRACK ALL THE WAY.

The day for patronizing railroads
which start from some country cross
roads, and end somewhere in a COW

size except over the track of some other

any such railroads still trying to do

them, but take 1.-The Burlington, ("

Work of the Mills.

The Northwestern Miller says
'"The mills did big work last week,
making the third largest amount of
-four ever turned out The output for
the week was 1859 200 barre)s-averaging
% 200 barrels daily-against 1871 400
barrels the previous week and us, 400
barrels for the corresponding time in
1887. This week the mills are running
as they never did before, and give
promise of exceeding the larg est out
put made in the past. The largest runs
heretofore we're 800 barrels for the
week ending October II, 1885, and 49,
500 for the week ending October %,
1887. For the current week there are
twentJ-one mills in operation, leaving
two antediluvian concerns idle, and the
output bids fair to approximate 10000
barrels, or 10000 barrels daily. Every:
thing is favorable to such a record.
The heavy advance in wheat latelv has
necessitated the marking up of -four,
and at the higher prices trade is slow.
Buyers for day or two past, however,
have shown more of disposition to
take hold, but to.day's decline in wheat
is expected to have Dad effect on the
market again. The direct exports of
-four last week were very large. amount
ing to 2,400 barrels, against 81, 900 bar

also that Of secretary of the County
Board of directors of the A. U. H., Of
this county since the organization of the

now with the thanks Of the Board and
also of this Division for his service. He
has always been an ardent worker in
the cause of the A. o. H. and has
gained the sincere friendship and conf
dence Of all connected with the Order
in this county, and it is with regret that
they now part with him. His reason
for resignlng is, his change of residence
to Duluth, for the summer, and if he
finds it suitable, may reside there per-
manenrly. Brother John W. Ronayne.
aud Hugh Doherty, two more OF our
most enthusiastic members have also
decided to leave us, to reside in Duluth.
This will be loss to our division and
a gain to whatever division they may
join there, as they all have secured
transfers and intend to remain true A.
o. H., men no matter where they reside
While we regret their loss 10 us, we
wish them a grand and successful
future, and hope they will also gam the
same confidence and friendship from
the A. O. H., in their new homes, as
they have from this county, and
especially the members of this division.

HE Oldest human relics On this con-
tinent have, it is claimed, been discov-
cred in California. In paper read be-
fore the California Historical Society
on the Goth Of March last, DR.. Lorenzo
G. Yates made the following statement:
1.-The first authenticated record of the
original occupants was found on the
Table Mountain region in Tuolumne
County, and is of an age prior to the
great volcanic outburst Fossil re-
mains OF the rhinoceros and of an ex-
tinct horse are found under the lava
layers forming the Table Mountains,
which are 1,40O feet thick, LOO feet
wide, and many hundreds of feet high,
where the river beds have been washed
out and have been covered again to the
depth of from 5000 to 1900 feet more
since the Cow of the lava. This lava
rests on a bed IF detrltus, which is
often entered in running tunnels. The
human relics and stone implements
found in these formations give evidence
of human inhabitants differing from
any known since. There have been
found spear heads, a pipe of polished
stone, two scoops Of rock, resembling
the grocers' scoop; an implement of
aragonite, resembling an unbent bow,
but the use Of which is unknown and
cannot be conjectured; a stone needle,
with notches at the larger end. and the
finest charm stones that have ever been
found. These relics SO accidently found
differ so much in character and work
manship as to indicate the existence of
a race entirely different and possessed
of more artistic skill and mechanical
ability than any known since..''

Now don't let Arbor Day pass
without planting trees around your
homes. IL every one will devote
that day especially to the business
of tree planting, benefits will accrue
to you in many ways. People who
have given especial attention to the
subject already have fine groves.
There is no unsurmountable diff
Guilty in the way. Trees will grow
in Dakota if properly cared for.
The benefit to the county cannot be
estimated. There is nothing that
will add to the beauty Of the country
so much as groves of thrifty timber.
Every owner of real estate should
see to it that the day designated,
April 25th, does not pass unim-
proved. Let hardy trees that will
produce speedy and permanent re-
suits be planted. Do not plant
large trees. Unless they can have
special attention in way of being
watered by artificial means, seed
llngs are the best. They will make
a more thrifty growth and better
looking trees. Older trees in this
climate will require several years to
overcome the evil effects of being
transplanted, and are liable to at
tain scruhby growth.
-"Will 1888 be a year of WARP
queries the Philadelphia Inquirer,
and it makes in this connection the
following interesting chronological
statement:
The present year is the fifth year
of modern times in which the ag-
gregate of the figures is twenty-five,
and there viii be but five more years
in which such a combination is pos
sible prior to the year 1899. Prob
ably but few have ever heard Of the
old prophecy, which runs as fol-
lows:
In every future year of our Lord
When tAe sum of the figures is twenty five,
Some war-iike kingdom Mil draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students of modern history will
readily recall how faithfully this
prophecy has been fulfilled in the
four previous years to which it
applied,
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and
Poland formed the coalition against
Sweden which inaugurated the great
war that ended in the disastrous de-
feat of Charles XII, at Pultowa.
The year 1889 will ever be me-
morlable on account of the breaking
out of the French revolution.
1898 witnessed the carApaign OF
Bonaparte in Egypt and the forma-
ton of tho second European CO.
alition against France.
In 1879 war broke out between
England and Afghanistan, followed
by the invasion OF the latter country
by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is
to be verified in 1883 remains YET
to be seen, put the present condition
of Europe seems to promise an
abundant fullillment of the proph-
ecy.
