AGRICULTURAL MATTERS
A Plea for the Farmer,

Out of a population of co, 0oO. 900, says
the Farmer and Detler, there are prob
ably about $1,000. 900 who earn wages
and live by work. Included in this
count is something over 1000, 900 en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, and it
appears that we have no other single in
dustry that employs and furnishes a
living for so many of our people. In
fact, this one industry feeds all the peo-
pie, and no other industry can live with
out it. Here then, we see-that we have
in this country more than 40, 900, 900
people living withcutearning any wages,
and most of them live directly or in
directly off the earnings of those who
toll, and they, with the deal
ers and traders, etc, are depend
ent on the success of the ag-
rlculturist and the protection of that
interest. Then it is proper for us to
first examine this most important of all
u Industries, and see what dangers
threaten. Now, what the farmer wants
first is a good home market for all his
surplus product. This cannot be assured
while we import in one year more than
~oo.ooo.oou VI iOOl anu i've STOCK, not
including coffee, tea, sugar and molasses.
Why should we import into our country
about $4,000. 900 worth of vegetables,
being cabbage from Holland, potatoes
from Scotland. potatoes, beans and peas
from Canada? If the farming interest
is what we here claim for it, then is it
proper for us to import 81, 200, 900 worth
of hay, and So, 900, 900 worth of bread
stutfs and 10000, 900 dozen eggs,
partly from Denmark and Sweden?
We think it is bad policy. The farmer
needs to be cared for first, last and all
the time, in order that other Industries
may thrive with him and good wages be
paid to manufacturing operatives as they
go on turning MI vast from
raw material into that which is neces-
sary for our welfare and safety in peace
or war. Diversified farming is our only
hope and safe anchorage at this time,
and in it is the whole business. Let the
diversified interests be built up from
our W raw material and means at
hand, and the people who are engaged
in the work will consume all the agri-
culturist produces, the market will be
at home, and the nation will go on in
prosperity, which is something that no
nation has yet done without diversified
interest.

She meant to carry everything withA

In this frame of mind she rang for
her morning cup of tea, and the maid
brought the tray, on which, besides the
tea and toast, there was a carefully
sealed note.
For a second or two she did not break
the seal, but when the waiting-woman

A Hudson River Incident.

steamboat Legislator, which ran be.
tween Hudson and New York forty-ive
years ago|' said an old resident to a
Kingston Argus reporter. .Oh, no!
you had not seen the peep of day then.
But will tell you an amusing story in
connection with old Sam and his boat.
Hammond was a wealthy man for his
time, liberal with his money, but in
different and careless with his dress.
His appearance was s%lovenly. while the
knot of his necktie generally rested
above his shoulders.
"Old Sam thought he would take a
trip to New York upon his boat. and
when the gong sounded for supper the

took a seat at the side Of a finely

American Pluck,

When the history of the latter half Of
this century is fully written up, one Of
the most interesting chapters will deal
with h remarkable recuperatlve power
evinced by our people under the weight
of crushing disaster. Chicago rose from
her ruins more beautiful and majestic
than before, and what in some portions
of the world would have entirely blotted
her out of existence, is now acknowl-
edged to have been a blessing in dis
guise, and to have made her a finer and
more prosperous city than she would
ever have otherwise been. Boston,
Charleston and other cities since then
have, to a greater or less degree, fol-
lowed her example, and we have no
doubt but Johnstown and Seattle will
ere long be added to the list OF those
who have snatched victory from defeat.
Already the hum of business is in the
air at Seattle, and a year hence that
city will be far advanced On the way to
more solidity and city like aspect than
she would have reached in many a wear
to come had this calamity not overtaken
her.

Notes.


For want of tools and materials to
work with, many boys grow up without
the least knowledge of their use. and
consequently without the development
OF any mechanical ability that they may
naturally have been possessed of. Every
farmers boy should have a knowledge
of practical machines, so far, at least,
as they apply to agriculture. And he
should have an opportunity of acquir-
ing the skill needed in their application
to the various departments of farm work.
The work shop is a great practical edu-
Gator, II should be q permanent insti-
tuition on every farm.
Irrigation is carried out on an exten.
sive scale in Wyoming territory. Some
thing like 1900, 900 acres of land have
recently been reclaimed and rendered
fit for cultivation by means OF ordinary
bitches, and official reports estimatn
that not less than 1000. 900 acres more
can be reclaimed in the same way. 1t
is also shown that not less than 6,0o0,-
600 acres in addition can be redeemed
by extraordinary means, that is, by a
system of storage. This would give
Wyoming about 1900, 900 acres that
might be devoted to agriculture. aside
from tina much larger body of grazing
land. .

Mail and Express. A grand coffee
palace has recently been erected in
Melbourne. The premises were origin

but the license was bought up with the
building, and extinguished by the pur-
chasers. The nominal capital of the
company by which the building is owned
is $l,250,000, of which $500. 900 is paid
up. There are $50 bedrooms in the
house, capable of accommodating 500
people, suites of apartments for fam
tiles, and all the appliances for a first
class hotel, and it is a building of this
description in every respect except that
1t does not trade in Intoxicating liquors.
The new portion of the palace which hss
been added since 1854, contains $50 bed
rooms, and the whole editice cost the

time q meeting of the Empire company

A HORSE KILLED.
A Reckless Stranger Drives Into Cab
Team and Wounds One of
Them Fatally.

The Helena Cab and Transfer Company
lost a valuable mare last evening by sim
gulsr accident. The animal was one of q
team on Doc. Wilson's hack. Doc. had
been to the depot and was driving load
of passengers up to the Cosmopolitan
hotel When passing the hay market on
lower Main street a man driving single
horse came down the street at a rapid
pace. Doc. turned his team out to give the
flying stranger part of the road, but the
latter made the wrong turn and veered his
horse to the left without, however. slack
ening his speed. The result was
q collision. Nothing was thought
of it at the time, and Doc
deposited his load at the hotel. Here
he examined his team and found that the
mare had been wounded by the shaft of
the cart which the reckless stranger had
driven into her. The wound was bleeding
profusely and Doc. tried to get the animal
back to the stable, but on reaching the foot
of Grand street the poor brute dropped
dead. The shaft had struck it near the
shoulder and with such force that it pens
trated the lung. The mare was valued at
$500 by her owners. The car company
will prosecute the driver Of the cart if they
can discover his identity.

Petition for Mining Survey.

Petition has been filed with the District
Court by, the St Louis Mining & Milling
Company, of Marysville, asking for su--
vey of the underground workings of the
great Drum Lummon mine, the property
of the Montana Company, limited. This
is one of those cases 50 frequently met
with in mining in which one company has
reason to think that another company
operating near them has run its under
ground workings into their domain and is
taking out their ore. The claims owned by
the petitioners are not extensions of those
of the Drum Lummon, but lie alongside OF
the latter, farther up the hill. The Drum
Lummon people claim that a survey will
fail to show the slightest encroachment
on the petitioners property, while the lat
ter maintain that the tunnels of the Drum
Lummon have been driuen across its
ground in order to reach other ground be-
yond. The survey, in case the petition is
granted, will bs at the expense of the petit
toner.
