INDEBTEDNESS.
The Russian Cactus.

1t is only within the past two years
that the government has made a syste-
matte study of this noxious weed, the so
called Russian cactus or thistle, but
known to science as variety OF salt
wort OF the variety Thagus. The plant
is not known to be native in this coun-
try, but it's home is in Russia, and has
more than likely been introduced from
that country either by forage seed or
brought in by emigrants.
The plant is rapidly spreading and
threatens to be one Of the very worst
weeds with which the farmer will have
to contend. As early as 81 it had gained
a strong foothold in North and South
Dakota. extending eastward into Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. It was then CON-
mon in northern Nebraska and had been
discovered along the railroad tracks near
Denver, Colorado. N. s. French OF Grand
Rapids, LaMoure county, first called the
attention of the government to the weed
by sending in specimen in 1891, accom-
panied by letter, in which he stated
that the weed was first seen in that
region in 1886 or 1887. near the railroad
stock yards at Glendale and Monango,
Dickey county, and Edgeley, LaMoure
county.
Assistant Geologist Upham reported
IN 1891 that in the fall of 1889 he saw
specimens growing on the railway en-
bankment near Clement, a few miles
west OF Oakes, and again on a sandy cul-
tivated fed of the Souris cottonland
near Towner He stated that strip OF
country extending from Eureka to Sioux
Falls, 3. D., was thiokly covered with the
weed and IN the vicinity of Scotland, S.
d., farmers were leaving their land by
the dozens. solely on account OF this
weed.
The points OF the leaves, as they ripen
and grow old with age, become hard
ened and sharp-pointed. This causes
great annoyance to farmers, for in har-
vesting and fall plowlng the legs OF the
horses are cut by them, even when pro-
tected by leather or rubber. The plant
is rapid grower and soon takes entire
possession Of field. The poorer the
soil, the more vigorous the growth.
Flowing seems to have no effect upon it:
summer tallow might in measure stop
its growth. Nearly 100000 acres OF farm
lands 10 the past decade have been mas.
tered by this imported evil and the loss
in dollars and cents reaches far into the

Disappointing Markets.

The wheat market has lately been q
series Of disappoin tments to owners of
wheat. Speculation is dormant and as
natural sequence the markets are
again in q rnt, says the Minneapolis
Market Record. The present supply is
larger than the present demand, and
when change IN prices occurs, it is gen.
orally to a lower level. The prospective
outlook does not appear to show any the
less strong for final result than it did
during the time, not so very long ago,
when wheat advanced from 50 cents to 60
cents in this market. While this is so
other conditions are not favorable to
strong markets.
In the meantime, the visible supply
while increasing, is dong so at rate
much slower than a year ago. Then it
increased 100000 bushels in Septem-
Der. while this year the increase was
below 3,5OO,00O bushels. In October,
last year, the increase was about 16,00O,'
600 bushels and about the same amount
in November. It is readily seen that
unless the movement is much larger
during the next sixty days, than it has
been 80 far, the supply will soon fall
below that OF year ago. The fact that
farmers are not selling so literally IS
they were then, is, Of course, the cause
for the visible not to increase so rapidly.
Just now the markets are sick-hour as
we'll ss wheat, being in close sympathy
with each other.

A Prosperous Ex-Dakotan.

twill be agreeable information to the
many warm friends of Mr. E. j. White,
formerly of this city and of the Russell
Miller Milling Co., to learn that he has
prospered according to bis merits since
going into business in Chicago. The
real estate firm of Coleman & White ls
one Of the best known in the city and
has elegant Offices on Randolph street.
The firm caught on to several fine pieces
OF property near Jackson Park before
the fair was located there, and have taken
advantage of their opportunity. A large
and elegant hotel has been built by one
OF the firm, and unlike many other hotel
enterprises, has paid. It is within three
blocks of fair gate and is patronlzed by
the best class of visitors, including many
North Dakota citizens who are &C.
quainted with f. j. and Frank White of
Valley City, the present manager. In
addition, Coleman & White have erected
the largest restaurant near the grounds
and by serving generous quantities of
we'll prepared food, at reasonable prices,
have established great reputation.
Their place is always crowded, and is
vory attractive on account Of its neatness
and the absence Of any attempt to i'm
pose on the public. It is said that the
proprietors will make 100000 on their
restaurant alone. Mr.. White devotes
the most Of his time in the city to the
growing real estate business, yet finds
time to visit large farm 80 miles from
the city and to look after the big RUSSELL
Miller milling interests at West Su-
perior, in which enterprise he ls a large
stOckholder.

North Dakota all Right.

Editor Carver of the Benson County
News. was one of the many North Da-
kotans that paid visit to old scenes IN
the east while enjoying the Worlds fair.
In comparison between the opportuni-
ties for making livelihood in North
Dakota and the east he states that he
is convinced that home can be much
easier obtained and competent living
secured in North Dakota" than in Michl-
gan, his former home. Continuing, he
says: when the people Of North Dakota
learn to be as saving and careful in all
the little details of life as the people are
there, they will greatly increase their an
nual income and savings. We do not
believe We exagerate the facts at all in
saying than Benson county annually
burns up and wastes enough feed to keep
the stock in some eastern counties One
OF the things that makes that country
beautiful is the magnificent shade trees
growing along the roads, but after study
ing the matter We were impressed with
the fact that shade trees along the road
would look nice in Dakota, and We are
convinced thoroughly convinced-that
if the Dakota farmer would take one
fifth as much pains and work to get trees
growing on his farm as the Michigan
farmer has taken to get the trees off his
place he would in a very few years have
fine forest which would supply him
abundant fuel. We return to North
Dakota we'll satisfied that all things con-
sldered it is a much better place to gain
a good comfortable home than the east
