gProspectors Discover the Freedoms Metal
on Crooked Greek.

For some time past mining ex-
perts have been prospecting in the
northern part Of this county, and
they have met with more or less
success according to the efforts Of
their search. For instance, they
have found brown hematite in vast
quantities, which confirms the re-
port of the State geologist made
several years ago Of the existence
of mineral beds in that part Of the
county.
More recently Ben Hassell and
Billy Wilson, old miners who have
worked claims in Colorado and else
where have found indications OF
gold deposits on the property OF
Mr.. Lafayette Akers, on Crooked
Greek, and from that point down
the county-line to Tennessee River
the prospectors found gold in CON-
bination with silver and iron. Mr.
Akers left some specimens at this
Office Monday Of the ore found or
his place and which he was told con.
tanned gold in paying quantities.
More or less excitement has fol
lowed this discovery, and just as
soon as the weather will permit Mr.
Akers and others who are equally
interested, namely, Messrs. Newt
and John Clement, G. A. Robins, B
F. Akers and DR.. j. r. Young, vii
investigate the matter more fully
In prospecting among the rive
hills silver ore and vast lodges o
lead have been found, and the nea
future may develop a wonderful
change in the affairs Of men in tina
portion of the county if their hope
in this matter are realized. If
should prove to be conclusive fac
that gold does exist there in payins
quantities, Benton County woulC
not hold the people who would
s.lock hither to participate in tn
development of the mines.

IMPROVEMENT OF LIVESTOCK.
1T is Important that we Increase the Sup
ply of Good Horses in this County.

There is room for Improvement
of the livestock on most farms in
this county, and it is encouraging
to note that our people have been
taking more interest in the matter
of late years, and the experiments
have been both satisfactory and
profitable to those who have been
earnest in the work. Probably a
good many others have decided
that they follow the example and
make a definite improvement in
this direction this year and are just
now questioning in what line it will
pay best to direct their efforts. Let
,ussuggest thatyourh horses have ear
Reconsideration. We have enough
poor and common horses in this
country already and it is important
that weincrease the supply of good
horses. Byhaving goodhorses you
can advance proftsin twoways
first, by getting more work done
with the same number Of teams, and
second, by producing colts Of better
selling value. Does it speak well
for mans common sense when he
has fine cattle, the best breed of
hogs, and sheep we might add, and
yet does the work Of the farm with
a pair Of worn-out and broken down
animals? The best economy Of la
Dor on the farm is only reached by
having laborers, both men anc
horses, that are in the best physical
condition. We all know that there
Is no money in employing a mar
who can not do a mans full work
even though we pay him less thar
full wages. The same rule will ap
ply to the teams, and while we are

The business of farming, like every

The record-union., 1892-09-16

Promising that the Federal Govern
ment alone can regulate immigration
effectively, our people do not believe that
the right primarily exists in any nation
to send emigrants to us; that neither the
'Fatherhood of God" nor the Brother
hood Of Man, doctrine, nor the instincts
of humanity. nor the claims of the
down-trodden, nor the sufferings of the
oppressed, give to any people under any
circumstances whatever the absolute
right to come to us if we do not want
them.
This whole idea of the United States
being 'home'' of right for anybody but
ourselves is simply New England twad-
die and sentimental nonsense. It Is the
home of Americans by right; it is the
home of any others we may invite to
enter. That is the law and the gospel
sensible people hold to in this matter to-
day, whatever sickly notions may have
been entertained in the past concerning
this country being common dump for
all the world.

SCANDINAVIAN IMMIGRATION.

Let the Scandinavians have full and
honorable credit. Speaking of the char
acter of immigration to this country, Pro-
lessor Babcock, in the Forum, says: by
the most conservative estimate, the per-
centage of illiteracy in Russia is eighty,
in Hungary fifty, in Italy forty-eight,
while among the Swedish recruits of 1883
only one per cent. were unlettered. In
addition to this universally fair educa-
ton, many of the immigrants are highly
educated. Because Of the similarity of
structure of the English and Scandina-
Wan languages and an aptitude for ac-
quiring languages, they readily learn
English. The use Of newspapers and
and books, both in their tongues and in
English, is large; in Minnesota alone
thirty Scandinavian newspapers
are published"
1t is entirely safe to say that filth and
unobservance of sanitary laws and, to a
large extent, lawlessness, do not go hand
in hand with education. The latter, of
course, means intelligence, and that i'm
plies regard for the decencies. The Scan
dlnavian in this country makes fine
showing also in the matter of low per-
centage chargeable to him of crime and
pauperism. Take the Minnesota Scan
dinavians as an example. In 1885 they
were 16.5 per cent. of the population, the
Germans lis per cent. In 1886, of those
confined in prisons 81 per cent. were
Scandinavians, IA per cent. Germans.
In 1890 IL per cent. were Scandinavians.
though the Scandinavian population had
increased nearly twice as fast as the ma
tive.
But the severity Of the Scandinavian's
life in the West has caused insanity among
them in remarkable degree What is to
be said against these immigrants is that
that they are at first very clannish, and
demand recognition socially. politically
and religiously as Scandinavians that
runs counter to the true American spirit
Yet, compared with many other classes
Of immigrants, they readily assimilate
with the American element and in the
second generation their old nationality is
very nearly obliterated.
This is to be said of the Scandinavian
immigrant, as a rule: He comes of his
own free will; is able to pay his way; is
not peace disturber; is clearly and de-
cent; has fair education; is very indus
trious and very frugal; seldom becomes
public charge, and is not often
wrangler in politics, though voting his
religious and clannish prejudices; adapts
himself readily to new conditions; does
not seek centers of population, usually
preferring rural life, and generally makes
in one or two generations an American
who is reliable citizen, not found in re-
volt or given to upturning society and
keeping the State in turmoil.
