CSld StSlss On The Farm.

J. H. Hunt, Of Sebastopol, has demon
strated the value Of cold storage as . fac
tor in the development Of the fruit indus
try. For years he has commended with
the Disadvantages, with which all fruit
growers are more or less familiar, In
disposing Of his fruit at profitable prices
on the market or at the canneries. Be
lieving that the figures which could be
obtained for fruit in good condition three
and four months from the time IL is pick
ed would more than compensate for the
expense necessary to be incurred In the
preservation, he erected a cold-stoEage
house last year. It cost but $500, but has
been more than paid for BY the profit
realized on the 700 boxes Of apples which
have found q ready market within the
past month. The house Is square In
shape with double floor, ceiling and wall.
The latter are eight inches thick and filed
with sawdust, likewise the floor and cell
ing. As soon as the apples are picked
from the trees, they are placed on trays,
simply constructed out Of 2xS lumber and
laths. The trays are taken to the storage
house, and placed one on top Of the other
in such manner that the fruit Of one
tray does not come in contact with that oi
another. The tiers are so arranged as To
permit Of q free passage Of air when IL Il
desired, which isgenerally on cold nights.
During the day the ventilators are closed
and the house Is made perfectly alright
Great care must be taken when the ven
tilators are open 10 prevent moisture in
the building else the quality Of the fruit
will be greatly impaired. OF the sOC
boxes Of fruit placed in the house last fall
$50 were preserved in good condition

The papers from the east sids Of the
Cascades say that the outlook for the
largest fruit crop ever grown in eastern
Waahingtonis very prOmlsing. Especially
is this true Of the Yakima and Walla

should give early attention to the plant
ing Of fruit trees where not already done,

moment, an intense longing to be the means
of help and consolation.
The practical expression Of such sympathy
as this is the purpose and pursuit Of the Chill

in this place the facts and figures which tell
how steadily this aim is kept in view how
nobly it is being wrought out from year to year,
and how well it is rewarded. The annual rec

any one who will ask for it. There is not. and
there never was, any evasion or false pretence

1901. came to the Missouri Falls they found
tremendous spring of water on the east bank
of the river between the first, or Rainbow, and
the second or Black Eagle falls. The banks
here are about eight feet above the river, and
the water from this spring surged and gugled
up from an evidently subterranean bed, and
made its way over and among the great rocks
that bound the bank into the stream below
Millions and millions of gallons of pure, brill
liant, crystal water how from this outlet every
minute into the Missouri.
Now. at this very point the artesian water
supply abruptly ends. Can it be that this spring
is the mouth OF a stream flowing porth from
Yankton and west from the Devils Lake cOun-
try Then where can il riseP There are no
mountains in South Dakota, Nebraska or Iowa.
and how such supply Of water could be drained
from prairie region already feeding the Mis-
sissippi the Missouri and the Platte is a mys-
terry. The more probable theory, if one could
hut forget that giant spring above the Black
Eagle Falls is that the Jim River basin is sup
piled from the Rocky Mountain SHOWS. and that
its contents flow east and south, not north and
west.
Whatever may be said Of the policy suggest

eminent to tap this basin for irrigation pur-
poses, it must certainly be conceded that such
means as are possible should be employed to
solve these mysteries 1t is scarcely the work
of the Geological Survey, but the same reasons
which render it desirable for the Government

A STBTERRANEAN RIVER.

Many uncharitabe things are being said Of
| the new Northwestern States because they are
asking that the development of some OF their
great resources be promoted by Congress II
must be remembered that these States have
| been but recently the property of the General
Government THAT the Government paid their
expenses and administered their affairs, and
that the taxpayers of ew-England have en-
joyed the remission of millions of dollars that
would have been necessary to raise by taxation
| had not the Government made such vast sums
from the sales Of public lands in these new
States. 1t must be remembered, too, that in
admitting them into the Union the Government
has reserved to itself the vast stretches Of pub
lie land within their borders, from which it still
expects to realize millions, to be added to the
millions already brought into the Federal Treas
ury. The new States, unmindfu of these and
other forceful facts, do not esteem themselves
to be public beggars They consider that they
are merely desiring the Government to look
after its own interests with theirs, and to make
the most Of a good chance while it is available
Among the enterprises proposed is the utilza-
ton Of most extraordinary phenomenon, "A
subterranean river, which is believed to flow
under the soil of the DakOtaS along the valley
Of the jim River. These are the demonstrated
facts that water will gush forth upon the sink
ing of shaft TO depth Of from 900 to 5000
feet anywhere along this remarkable valley
that the length Of the strip Of country within
which an anosian flow may be relied upon is
about 800 miles due north and south from
lankton, where the Jim flows into the Mis-
souri,, to the Devils Lake country. where it
rises that the width of the strip varies from five
to about twenty five miles on either side Of the
narrow and languid jim; that from the north
ernmost extreme Of this strip a subter1anean
water supply is to be found with more or less
certainty along a narrower strip running almost
due west from the Devils Lake country: that
this strip crosses the Missouri north Of Bismarck
and runs parallel with it until it meets the river
again at Great Falls
This is an altogether wonderful combination
of facts. Aresian basins exist all over tbe
world, but to no great area or extent Uera l.

south, and believed to be 800 miles long east
