Wheat "a. bananas.

An item that periodically goes tho
rounds of the press is that Humboldt
said l2O square yards of ground pro-
duces 1000 pounds of bananas. whils
the same area will produce only thirty
pounds of wheat. or eighty pounds Of
potatoes.
Now. l20 square yards is about one
thirteenth of an acre, which. latter &c
cording to the above, would produce
SO, 600 pounds of bananas. and respec-
lively about 400 pounds of wheat, or
1,O4O pounds of potatoes. The facts
are that in the richest soil bananas are
planted at least six feet apart, say
thirty trees to l20 square yards, aver.
aging less than forty pounds per
bunch. or 1,2O0 pounds, 80 per cent
being water. leaves 120 pounds solid
matter Wheat on equally good soll
will yield about two bushels, or 80
pounds, and potatoes about 1000
pounds, or 200 pounds solid matter. Il
will thus be seen that the wheat fur
nishes as much and potatoes twothirds
more food than bananas on an equal
area of suitable soil.-San Francisco

THE TONGUE RIVER CASE.

frof. Bach Proposes To Try a Again.
Ed. YELLOWSTONE JOURNAL;
Iw,uld recall tn sou, and also 10
doing 81 make plain to the citizens of
Miles City. the attitude Of Mai. Powell
in reference to the protection of Miles
City from the evil effects of hish b
water, which was assured II Mai. Pow
ell had favored the Strengthening o.
Tongue river. You will remember
inat he said he did not see how that
would benefit the government or Fort
k,ogh. asked him II he bad read
the petition which had bsen forwarded
and he ndmitted thai he had not.
Now l for one am not willing that
this mater should drop. and the citi-
zens may expect me around shortly
with another petiti, u. What I claim
i. that the govarnmrnt granted the
Mp right of way, sEi 4 that the bridge
built by the said iaiir ad has changed
The channel # the Tngue river aud
endangered The city, aud that the
government is virtually responsible
for sny damage from this cause.
Louis BACH.
Referring to the above, the JOURNAL
has not had much to say regarding
Major Powell'- brief visit here for the
reason there was little nor nothing to
say. From the fact that congress had
appropriated 5000 for a preliminary
survey Of the river at this point. We
bad teen led to expect that Major
Powell's examination Of the matter
would occupy some weeks n. least,
aud that 1t would be thorough aud ex-
haustive. When, however, he came
here and announced that he had but
few hours to devote to the tssk. and
having made such hurried examins-
tion q, he could do iu this limited
time, then announed that be did not
see how the government was TO be
benifilted by the proposed work, and
stated further that under bis instruc.
tions be was limited TO reporting fav-
orably vpou 1t only in case II would
be for the benefit Of the government
or Fort Ksogh, It seemed ss II we had
run into tanele Of red tape that had
better be left slore. snd n anything
more was 10 be done to commence
anew. Prof Bach's intention ~ start
q ntw petition seems 10 be about the
bert thing to do. In ibis he proposes
to h.ve detailed map made Of the
river front showing the old course of
the river and the area Of land 1t hes
cut of 10 the past ten years. This
will be accompanied by . full state.
ment Of the case with which 1t is
hoped our delegation in congress can
secure the needed relief Msjor Pow.
ell suggested that We might Le able to
accomplish something by "regging
away" and that Is WI at is now pro-
posed 10 be done.

mands:
Fir,t. We demand the abolition OF

uries or depositori.s in the several
states which shall lean money direct
to the people ut low rate Of interest,
not to exceed = per cent per annum, ,on
non -perishsble farm products. and
upon real estate, with proper limita-
tions upon the quantity of land aud
the amount of money. We demand
that the amount Of circulating medium
be speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
Second. We demand that congres.
shall pass such laws as shall etiectu.
ally prevent the dealing iu futures on
all agricultural and mechanical pro-
ductions, preserving stringent sys-
tenn VI procedure In trials such ~ shall
secnre the prompt conviction Of offend.
ers, and the imposition Of such penal
ties a shall secure the most perfect
com mplisnce with the law.
Third. We condemn the silver bill

msnd Ia lieu thereof free and uplin.
tied coinage Of silver.
Fourth. We demand the passage OF
laws prohibiting alien ownership of

ally used and needed by them, he re.
claimed by the government and held
for astusl settlers only.
Fifth. Believing in the doctrine OF
equal rights to sll and special Liivi-
leges to none, We demand that our ma.
tional legislation shall be 90 framed In

dustry at the expense of another, aud
we further demsrd the removal of the
existing heavy tariff tax from the
necessaries of life, that the poor Of oui

q just and equitable system Of gradu-
ated tax on incomes. We believe thai
the money Of the country should b.
kept as much as possible IN the hand,
of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues
shall be limited to the necessary ex'
peDses Of the government, economi
cally and honestly administered.
