day or two ago Louis Silverstein
walked into the chamber of the Board Of
Supervisors and handed the Clerk bun
die of papers. He said that he had been
struck by an electric light, and that he
was being pursued by everybody. He
had strange glare in his eyes as he an
nounced that the people were jealous Of
bis success, and watched his every move.
Supervisor Davis picked up one of the
papers Silverstein had presented, and
read:
"People in these gaps say (I) Louis
Silverstein is reported to be j. Tichborne,
long-lost son, and don't know the diff
ferents. Please let me know Immediately
and send me home to my parents alive,
as am very sick.

Supervisor Davis handed the document
to Clerk Blake, who read aloud:
"This is what l know to the best Of my
knowledge and belief. The City Mayor,
Mr.. Hazard, has long list of my cause
and grievances. If you get them, read
them Immediately. You must get them
as quick as your body will permit.
l.. SILvERsrErN, alias j. TICHBoRNE."
Curiosity was awakened in the Super
visors' breasts, and one CT them asked
Silverstein to remain while he went out
to obtain some one who would help him
secure his rights. While he was gone,
Clerk Blake read:
"Mr. Silverstein, that was supposed to
be my father, is dead ,.but in New York
he was well acquainted with MIR. Find

EDITORS HERALD-The necessity Of
grading down one of the sire cts running
west over the hill becomes more and
more apparent as the western section is
settled up. There are now ten thousand
people west of Pearl and north Of Second
street. and that locality Is growing as
rapidly as any quarter of the city five
wears hence this population will be
doubled.
The "West-endere," by reason of their
great and increasing numbers are en-
titled to and ought to have an easy and
direct approach to the business center,
and it is an unwise and ehort-sighted
policy that denies them this privilege.
First or Second street cut down TO a
grade of one foot in twenty-five, or even
to grade OF one foot in sixteen, would
meet the present requirements. But,

Business is going down Spring street

the most polite and respectable enter
prises will be found to center at Sixth

done to hold them where they now are.
The policy of compelling the people
living in the northwest quarter Of the
city to go around by way of Sixth street
is short sighted in the extreme, for is it
not reasonable t) suppose that when
facilities are offered for trade on that
they will stop there and transact their
business? The distance to Sixth street
by way Of Pearl from First street is not
greater than from Pearl to Spring on
First. Sixth street, therefore, offers
greater advsn tages far the reason that
Pearl is wider and more level than First
street would probably be made to be-.
The conclusion is unavoidable, therefore,
that the whole of the south ha.f and the
northwest quarter of the city can now be
more readily accommodated at Sixth
street than at First.
But with an easy approach by way OF
First street, the balance may be main
tanned, the north half against the south
half, and the streams of travel be made
to center at First and Spring.

CROPS WITHOUT WATER.

While the new states are looking for
irrigation as the relief for the portion
of their lands that lacks rainfall, habit
ualiy or occasionally, the statements
made in report to the agricultural de-
partment from the experiment station
ut Garden City, in Western Kansas. are
of interest. Experiments have been in
progress there to make the arid soil do
productive duty without the usual aQue-
Gus inspiration. The location is out be-
yond the limits of settlement, where the
only native growth consists of burr
grass and pFickly weed that is worse as
a slayer than the Canada thistle. The
surface Is clay loan that bakes into q
crust almost impenetrable to water.
The department took eight acres of this
uninviting land for its test, and man.
aged to pillow it a foot deep and secure a
thorough pulveriZation. 4 variety of
grass seeds adapted to that region WAS
secured, and part of the eight acres,
after sowing, covered with matted
straw, and a part left without any
covering, but irrigated as often as
deemed beneficial. The result was that
the pant that had no irrigation and
hardly Il drop of rain, but protected by
the matted straw, produced much the
best crops. A small area left uneOv-
cred, and without irrigation, hardly
had any growth. The agricultural de-
partment is so well satisfied with the
experiment that it proposes to put the
entire tract of 240 acres under the
matted straw and pulyerized system
next year. 1t may be somewhat la
borious task to pulverize such soil,
and perhaps the matted straw may not
be convenient before any crops are
grown, but the experiment is suggestive.
Ii may lead to the reclamation of large
areas of land now almost valueiess. A
single seas n or experiment could not
develop all the possibilities of the soil
protected from the prairie winds and
much Of solar evaporation.

4 NORTH DAKOTA WAN

The representatives from North Da-
kOLa in congress revive the maxim that
it is the unexpected that happens in
politics most frequently. If anv state
would be specially devoted to tariff re-
ductiOn and the release Of farmers from
burdens, the intelligent observer would
soon rest his eye upon North Dakota.
Yet its representatives at Washington
are disposed to crowd to the front of the
high tariff ranks. Several tariff propo-
sitions are credited to them. One Is to
add IL cents bushel to the tax on po-
tatops. another to take hides from the
free list. The potato tariff would do no
good when the potato crop was abun-
dant, and when the farmers have to buy
potatoes, as they have had to more than
once in recent years. it might prevent
them getting supply as cheaply as
otherwise. La the past five years
potatoes have sold in the Red
river valley for 81 bushel
for lack of sufficient production.
Some of the prominent Republican
papers of that state warmly commend
the proposition to take hides from the
free list. and fancy that it would be a
great advantage to the farmers. The
campaign literature diffused in the new
states by the Republican national COM
mittee last summer stated that ia conse-
quence of the removal of the duty from
hides the prices fell from IL cents in
1872 to ~ cents in 1889. That is readily
credited by the cattle grower who does
not gather facts. But he will concede
that if in the case of hides the removal
of the duty has caused the reduct ion,
the same law should operate with wool.
That has been advanced in the tariff.
and yet the prices have fallen. In the Pc
Rod from 1872 to 1887 the price fell from
81 cents to so cents, although the tariff
had been pushed up to 60 cents. A
tariff on hides would cause the farmer
to pay much more for shoes and har-
ness. and imperil manufacture that is
one of the few competing successfully
in all the markets of the world. North
Dakota wants tariff reduction.

is III CA aNGING?

Whatever weather may be had later
on, the present winter will go on the
records as one deficient in the cold term
that has been associated with this lati-
tude. 1t is now almost the Christmas
season, and the ice crop has refused to
ripen. Only the needs Of the country
and the predictions of those who are
weather-wise are suggestive Of any very
severe departure from the style so far in
vogue. The theory is advanced and
gaining much credit that there is really
change in the seasons in the Northwest,
and that the old-time deep snowfallS
and protracted severe conditions are
but rare occurrences, the exceptions to
the habitual winter temper. This part
of the country has not been settled long
enough to give conclusive support to
this theory, but it is held to be fact
that in historic times the climate Of
Europe has grown milder. HUME elab-
orately asserted this to be case, and adj
dueed passages from the classic writers
referring to snow and ice at Rome,
which would astonsh the modern resi-
dents. The great historian attributes
the change TO the better cultivation of
the land and the cutting off of the trees

FIELDS FOX swINDLERs.

There are always persons going about
the country with devices to swlndle the,
unwary. They have marvellous oats.
processes for making nature do prolific
service, and all sorts of patent schemes.
Tramps are alleged to have some sort of
system that enables them to select tho
routes least infected with dogs and
kitchen inhumanity. but it was not UNI
derstood that those who fieeced the
farmers with deceptive devices had any
system of distinguishing the fields
specially promising for their harvest.
This, however, Is asserted to be the
fact. Their plan, as stated, is to look
over the election tables, and where tho
farmers very largely vote in favor OF
protective tariff policy they find the
people to operate upon. The theory is
that those VINO allow themselves to be
imposed upon by the scheme that fat
tens the few at the expense OF the
many, called protection, are good ma
terial for the smOoth-tOngued swindlers
to operate on with their alluring de-
vices. In one section of Kansas re-
Gently these sleek adventures are cred
tied with taking away s15D.00O from the
farmers on patent process for making
sugar. If the, theory suggested is good,
Kansas ought to be an admirable region
for these gentry to operate in. 1t is
possible that as plausible as it seems, it
may have some partisan bias.

SORGHuM 1uI.TuRE

One of the counties in Kansas is soon
to vote on proposition to issue bonds
to the amount Of $4,000 to raise money
to offer those who grow sorghum cane
and produce sugar. There has been
vast amount of money expended by the
counties and state in these sort of boun-
ties, besides the experiments conducted
at the expense of the general govern
ment. Extravagant claims are put
forth as to the success that has attended
these efforts. 1t is stated recently that
by new devices the obstacles have been
overcome, and the sugar question is
being settled. But this is mostly bun
combe, put forth by parties who want to
unload their investments in sugar
plants, or to handle the bounty funds.
Probably more appropriations by con-
gress are hoped for. The senators from
that state display very active interest
in securing federal bounties. If there
can be had bounties from state or county
and the United States also, there
is no doubt that sugar max
ing can be made profitable in
Kansas. Its profits will depend upon
the size of the bounties. This Kansas
sugar business has some points sug-
gestive of the gopher industry in Da-
kota, as related by BUDD REEVE. A
three-cent bounty on gopher tails will
insure county full of tailless animals.
In Kansas the sorghum producer comes
up for his bounty with certificate that
he has made so many pounds of sugar,
and gets his reward. The stuff pro-
duced from the sorghum syrup is good
enough sugar to draw the bounty, but
is not good for much else. 1t has al
most no value in market or for use. No
doubt some very fair sugar has been
produced by the elaborate processes of
experts, but it is too costly to be profit
able. Sorghum sugar is no new thing,
but it has furnished no assurance that it
will become permanent industry. The
most that can be said for it is that it is
still in the experimental stages. 1t
affords an illustration of the usual oper-
alton of the bounty fake.

And in my anguish was fain to cry,

But what rocked he? Wide stretched the sky
of blue
Across the yerdant heritage of the plain.
The while brooded by the waning fire,
A muffied form there stole into my door,
And spoke in suppliant language for a space
BuVcast aside the cloak and showed Loves
"a face.
Oh fiercely then I cried out i'm my ire,
And babe the false one to return no more.
And in sweet June q dancing figure came,
Bringing me boughs of hawthorn from the
lane;
But In the blooms found Loves arrow hid.
And so cast them down, although he child;
Yet all unsaddened he, as light as flame,
Danced blithely on his f1owery way again.
The silence of the snow was on the world,
When along the road Jagged YEARLY;
The dead. cold fields, piled high with drift
on drift,
Stretched up and onward to the pallid lift
And there. with broken. faded wings close
furled,
found what seemed dying butterfly.
Warmed at my heart, its pinions wide It
spread.
Showing thousand colors OF the morn;
