Our Agricultural Society.

AS will be seen by notice of the Sec
retary, which appears in another
column of this paper, the annual
meeting of the Stevens County Agri-
cultural Society will be held at the
business office of the TRIBUNE, on
Saturday, the 18th inst. This will be
an important meeting to all who feel
interested in the success of our coun-
ty fair. After the election Of the
officers and hearing the report Of the
secretary, the question of forming a
stock company for the purpose OF
constructing suitable buildings for
the fair and fencing the grounds OF
the society, will be discussed, and if
it is thought advisable to organize
said stock company, probably COM
mittees will be appointed to aid in
carrying out the proposed scheme.
Every town in the county ought 10
be represented at the above meeting,
so that general expression from the
farmers of the county may be had.
Now is the time to talk up the mat
ter and take the preliminary steps
necessary to make our next annual
fair grand success.

thrive on the Atlantic coast north of
Chesapeake Bay?" One great advant-
age common to the whole region is that
it is practically all one immense harbor.
The island barriers keep off the Pacific
waves, and the shores are everywhere so
abrupt that Il ship will always strike
her side against the shore before she will

The Aleutian Islands we doubtless
have heard of, and even know where
they are on the map, but surely we
never dreamed of them as q superior
dairy region, where grass grows in rich
luxuriance, and cattle can winter in the
open air. And though we have occa-
sionally seen something in the news
papers about gold in Alaska, did we
ever imagine 1t possessed the greatest
gold mine in the world? A mine where
the gold bearing quartz is dug from an
open quarry like granite or limestone; a
mine with a two hundred and forty
stamp mill, hundreds of worKmen, and
electric lights for the short winter days

Alaska--The "NeW EldoradO." F"


Correct information as to the advant'
ages, resources and possibilities of our
great northern possession, Alaska,
reaches us very slowly, and in the opin-
ion of the TRIBUNE it is high time that
congress should show more marked
interest in that possession, by having
the territory adequately explored and
surveyed, and giving it respectable
government and the nations greatest
blesslng-free schools.
We are confident that the more
Alaska is explored and its resources un-
derstood, greater will be the induce
ments for it's settlement. But it appears
to us that certain corporations and spec
ulators in gold mines and other sources
of income, who largely control the
affairs of Alaska, are making fortunes
for themselves and are not particularly
anxious to have outsiders know it.
Having "got good thing" they are
anxious to keep it"
But the facts about Alaska are gradu-
ally becoming known, and it may be an
ticipated that ere long the tide of emi-
grafton will set that way.
Hon. William Window, secretary of
the treasury, in his annual report, de-
votes considerable space to Alaska. He
says: 1.-THE present volume of trade is
not less than $10,000,U 200 per annum, and
is constantly growing. This Territory,
still in its infancy, has begun to attract
attention as a promising field for the in
vestment of capital, skill, and energy.
1t has also become popular resort
for tourists, many of whom become in
terested in its industries In 1884, when
the Territory was organized into civil
and judicial district, one steamer a
month ran to the principal port of
Sitka; now there are four and sometimes
five per month during the summer, and
considerable number of sail-vessels.
In southeastern Alaska there is large
coastwise trade, consisting principally
in the products of the salmon industry,
fish-oils, furs, mineral ores, and the
precious metals"
Mr.. Maturin M. Ballou's new book,
the New Eldorado," or Summer
Journey to Alaska" gives much valu-
able information in relation to that por-
ton of Uncle Sans dominions. 1t Is
written in pleasant, and attractive
style and will be read with interest by
thousands of our people, many of whom
know less about Alaska than almost any
other portion of the globe. M. G.
Shoup, in reviewing MI. Ballou's book,
has the following in relation to it in the
st. Paul Table Talk for December:
We know of no other source whence
SO much information concerning the
more valuable part of Alaska can be so
readily and pleasantly acquired, as by
reading Mr.. Ballou's New Eidorado.

Some More Homesteads.

In the eastern border of South Dakota
is the reservation of the Sisseton Indians.
They and the Wahpeton Indians are ne
gotiating with the government for the
sale of their lands. When the sale Is
consummated, as it will be ere long,
7S9, 900 acres of land will be added to the
homestead domain. The Fort Sisseton
military reservation, near the Indian
lands, is also to be abandoned for mill
tary purposes. 1t contains 400. 900 acres.
Thus nearly a million and quarter OF
acres of new farms will be open to set
tiers ere long, though not all of it is till
able. The Indians have reserved such
lands as they desired for farms for them
selves in severalty.
Only one point of difference still re-
mains to be adjusted between the gov
ernment and the Sissetons. The Indians
have an old claim against the United
States which, they say, should be settled
before they abandon their land to settle
ment. Years ago, before they had their
eve teeth cut, when they knew not the
true value of Dakota wheat farm, they
say they were persuaded by white men
to sell their lands for five cents an acre,
This fact. The red men who were thus
deluded ask the government to now make
an appropriation indemnifying them fol
this swindle when they were green.
Their request certainly does not look un-
reasonable.

Just What They All Say

All those who resided in Mime
sofa for a series of years and then re-
moved away to some other state or
section of the country, almost in
variably come to the conclusion that
Minnesota is good enough for them.
Our exchanges are constantly record
ing instances Of this kind. Here is
one among the many that we have
noticed during the past year or more:
The Sleepy Eye Herald publishes the
following extract from letter writ
ten by a former resident Of that place,
who is at present sojourning in
Washington: II have Travelled over
great deal Of this country since /
came here, and must say that /
have not seen anything that will
compare with old Minnesota for a
poor man. The country is over-run
with immigration. and many people
come out here thinking they can dig
money out of these big hills, but a
man has to put in hard work for all
the motley he makes here"

An attempt is being made to establish
a Spanish school at Belleview, Fla. One
reason why we are falling SO behind
European nations with the South Ameri-
can trade is that we are such poor lin
guists. Our merchants and commercial
travellers whogo to South America almost
never understand Spanish, while those
from Europe usually make it a point to
learn that language before going to
South America. There are few schools
in this country where a student can
learn South American Spanish. 1t is
proposed to found at Belleview such a
school, and to make it also an institution
in which Cuban and South American
students can get thorough musical
education, to obtain which they now go
to Europe.

The McMurdo Claim.

Edward McMurdo was a gallant Ken
tuckian who built railway from Della
goa bay on the southeast coast of Africa
to the south African gold fields. 1t was
called the Transvaal and Delagoa Bay
railway. Col. McMurdo was an Ameri-
can citizen, and he built the railway
through Portuguese territory with Eng
lish money, under grant from the king
Of Portugal. 1t was thus an affair of
three nations.
Col. McMurdo struggled with difficult
ties in a way that was nothing less than
heroic, but at length the road was built,
and became paying investment. See
ing this, the Portuguese government,
with that unparalleled cheek for which
it is distinguished in our time, prepared
to take the property away from him.
McMurdo had borne hardships and
trials till he could endure no more, and.
under the stress of this outrage, one
day he fell dead of paralysis. Portugal
thought that ended the matter. But it
did not. McMurdo left pretty, plucky
American wife. He had been devoted
to her and had bestowed on her every
luxury.
After his death the pretty, plucky
widow dried her tears and vowed to get
back the property which had cost him
his life. Dressed in her widows weeds,
she hurried to America and laid the case
before Secretary Blaine. Col. Ingersoll,
who never listened unmoved to tale of
injustice to anybody, pretty woman or
otherwise, was her lawyer. Mrs. Nc
Murdo claimed Ss,5OO,o00, a valuation
the Portuguese government had affixed
to the road.
Col. Ingersoll bestirred himself, SO did
MIR. Blaine. Indemnity was demanded
of the Portuguese. At length they ac-
knowledged the justice of the claim.
Americans will be glad to know that
they will pay for the road and that the
brave American lady has beaten the
Portuguese government.

medal for the invention of an artificial
silk, perfectly adapted to its purposes.
Silk worms were dying in Europe at a
rate that was alarming. The count
studied carefully the chemical constitl-

The collodion hardened into threads,
after being passed through another set
of tubes containing water. After being
still further treated, threads were pro-
duced which could be woven into the

1.-THE annual report for 1887 showed
ali unquestioned surplus at the close
of that year of $4, 1923. 10 this was
added the state annual appropriation
$4,000, making a surplus Tor 1883 of

correctness of which the state audit.
ing board solemnly attested, showed
"a surplus of resources over liabilities
of $3,886.40. The report to be sub
mitted to the next annual meeting
will show that the deficiency for 1888
was $5 ,279,02, and that the last official
report of the secretary of the society
came within $9,164,42 of the truth!
At the beginning OF 1889 the society
was 81, ,279.02 in debt; 1T is now In that
condition to the tune of $17,031 .02,
showing an apparent loss for the year

E,eotr,citv IN tbe Household.

Under this title A. r. Kennedy con-
tributes to Scribner an interesting paper.
The first use OF electricity to household
appliances was the electric bell. nearly
century ago. 1t has now become so COM
mon that bell hung by the former me-
chanical appliances Is antiquated and
clumsy. Then came the electric annunci-
ator.
For many years this was the extent OF
the application of electricity to household
purposes. Within the last thirteen years
there has come, all in rush. tire tele-
phone, electric light and the transmission
of power by electricity. Electric illumi-
nation has received temporary backset
through the number of men who have
been killed by the conducting wires, but
beyond doubt this will be overcome and
safe and perfect electrical light will
vet be obtained--one that will be used in
private houses as freely as gas now is.
Mr.. Kennedy mentions the burglar
alarm apparatus. by which. if thief
raises window SO much as the thickness
of a knife blade, current is completed
that rings the chestnut bell on him all
over the house. There, too. is the ther-
mostat, a little thermometer, which. by
the aid of electricity. regulates automat-
ically the temperature of room. The
fire alarm is another modern application
of this force, and Mr.. Kennedy says that
since the common use of the electrical
| alarm, statistics show marked de-
crease in the number of serious fires in
| towns.
| Electricity will keep all the clocks in
your house wound up and set to the same
moment, it will pump water from well or
cistern to tank in your garret. it will
run your sewing machine or music box,
| blow the bellows of an organ and will
make an automatic piano play fashion
able waltzes for gathering of young
people to dance by from dark to day
light, and never once become tired or
make the company feel that they are
making a martyr of it for their pleasure.
| In course of time houses can and will be
heated by electricity. twill be utilized
for hundred other purposes as soon as
a cheap and reliable generator of it is
