The following letter was received
from Charlie Morton who left here for
Utah last fall. Charlie is now settled
at Thistle in that state, and the tenor
OF his letter would lead one to believe
that he is heartily sick of the country
and would be glad to return to Caya-
lier's fertile plains: lie says, :'since 1
left Langdon l have seen great deal
OF the wonderful west, and truly it is a
great country for mining and stock
raising, but as to farming am not
struck on it. The farms are too small
for a Dakotian and land is very high.
You cannot touch it for less than $40
to 500 per acre, according to how good
a water right they have in connection,
and then in dry year they are contin-
ually lighting and having over the
amount of water used by each other.
This is not only the case in Utah, but
in Idaho and Montana, SO you see in a
dry year we are as bad off as they are
in Cavalier county. My idea, when I
came out here, was to accept my bro
theirs offer and start large dairy, but
upon taking men out to see what it
would cost to irrigate we found it
would cost $1,000 to get water enough
to irrigate only 100 acres Of land. 1
gave up that idea and have since Sc
cured a two year lease on furnished
farm. There is any amount of fruit
and all kinds of game abound in the
mountains. All this is very nice, but 1
tell you if the farmers of Cavalier
county, refer to men who want a
home-kneW what know of the "pic-
tured'' west they would be well salts
fed to remain where they are as there
is no place on Gods green earth that
offers better chances for the poor man
to get a home than does North Dakota
Of course, if man wants to work on
railroad or down in a mine he can
get all he wants of it here. The real
estate boom is now on and prices are
at the top notch-you know what that
means. would far rather, and you
bet I am going to-" be in the country
that is, yet to receive it's boom. and you
take my word for it Cavalier county is

A Profession for Women.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
There is class of women to whom
the counsel in this article will be very
distasteful. The career of wife and
mother has little appreciation in their
eyes. 1t is not enough appreciated by
large share of both sexas. But the
remedy for this is in the women 3 own
hands. If they would have an hon.
Orable profession, they have only to
do quality of work that is worthy Of
honor. Surgery was once a branch
of the barber's trade, and certainly
no more honored than homework is
today; but men have made a study of
it, have given it broad, scientific
basis, invented instruments and pro-
cesses to increase its efficiency, and
arranged q systematic mode of
learning its practice, with the re-
suit that the surgeon of today
has one of the most honora-
BILE Of professions. In a similar way
dressmaking, which is trade i'm the
hands of women-has been made q
profession in the hands of one man.
The ordinary dressmaker gets little
respect; Mr.. Worth is held in high
esteem, and the difference is that he
does work which compels esteem.
The ordinary housewife and mother
takes little pains to learn her bust
ness; she follows ruls-of-thumb
methods handed down from hergreat-

Washington and the Spy.

Boston Advertiser!
1t is painful to find that the Father
of his Country practicsd deceit down

papers are getting printed, reveals
this side of Washington character.
He actually played a trick ON Sir
William Howe, and made him be.
lieve he had II, 900 men in his army
about Morristown when he had but
5000.
1t seems that Howe had sent one of
his innumerable spies, who were
Tories in New York and patriots in
Philadelphia, to see what was going
on about Morristown. The adjutant
general found out the rogue and asked
Gen. Washington if he would not
have him arrested.
No, said the crafty Virginian-and

Devotees of Dress,

From Kate Fields Washington.
There certainly are no women in
the world who think SO much about
dress or devote so much time to 1t as
Americans. The result, however, is
hardly commensurate with the ex-
penditure of time and money. To
involve what is seriously called
thought. When monkeys act like men
We do not accuse them of thought. We
attribute TO them wonderful power OF
imitation. In dress We are moth ing
but monkeys. We have not yet &C.
quired sufficient taste or knowledge
10 make our own fashions, so we walt
for the modistes of Paris to tell us
what they please and then adopt
their ideas regardless of conse-
quences. France is the most artistic
nation in Europe, but we should take
our France with discretion. What
is suitable for one is not necessarily
sutab.e for all, and it is well-known
that costumes prepared for tn @
American market are "louder" In
style than those intended tor home
customers. American patrons are
sought because they are willing to
pay extravaganza prices. but their
Judgment, as a rule, does not COM
mand respect.
One day in Paris, Worth talked to
me most vehemently ON this subject.
He said women were foods to act
like flock of sheep; that he, as an
artist, always consulted individual
physique, but he found the greatest
difficulty in making his clients wear,
what best suits them. because /
invent a beautiful costume for a
young and graceful woman, should it
be worn by fat dowager? But the
dowager will have it, spite of all en-
treaty. Nowadays there are no old
women and very few mlddle-aged
ones. AS for fat women, they don't
exist. All want to wear tight fitting
white gowns, and beauties they look!
II there be q color that displays
crows feet and OVERLOOKING figures
that need reefing, it is white; but
goodness gracious! there's no use talk
ing-I have given 1t up. To live in
peace I must let obstinate women
have their own way"

FIRE in A VESSEL.
Narrow Escape of Ship from Des-
tructiOn.
By Telegraph to The Comet.


By Telegraph to The Comet
MONTREAL, QUE, July 1.-The steam
ship Montevidean has arrived here
from Sweden. Lines of hose were
stretched along the deck, and the crew
were wearied by hard fight to pre-
vent their ship from being destroyed
by fire at sea.
The Montevidean left London on
June l9, and met with no incident of
note until June a.
AT 2 2oclock in the afternoon of that
day, and while the steamship was just
a little east of Cape Bay, the cry of fire
was raised, and smoke was observed
coming up the after hatchway.
For moment there was good deal
OF excitement, but all hands were i'm.
mediately called to fight the fire, even
to the cattlemen on board.
All the hose was brought out, and
the hatch lifted off. Dense smoke
arose, and for a while no one could see
what was going on in the hold.
The Captain directed operations
from the bridge, and on his orders a
man was lowered into the hold by q
rope. He was lowered three times,
bat the smoke was SO thick that he
could see nothing of the fire and had
to be raised almost Immediately each
time to prevent suffocation.
The fire was finally located in the
lower hold among number of bales Of
jute, and to get at 1t barrels of oil and
part of the jute had to be moved.
Water was turned on the fire and in
three hours it was almost entirely ex-
tinguished.
In No. l hold there were twelve tons
of gun powder, but to get at this the
fire would have had to burn through
several bulkheads, so that there was
little danger from this source.
When the steamship arrived in port
the work of discharging was com
menced, and survey on the cargo
held. 1t is impossible as yet to esti
mate the damage to the cargo. Nc
injury has been done to the vessel.
Many of the bales Of jute are much
burned and charred..
The Montevidean carried no passen
gers this trip. 1t is supposed tha
spontaneous combustion in bale o
rags was the cause of the fire.
