A writer in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat criticises the new army
tactics severely. He says they are
too elaborate and complicated for the
American volunteer. and the Amer
lean volunteer is the soldier who must
fight the battles of the next war, if
we ever have another war. He would
have drill books reduced toa mimi
mum and contain only the movements
absolutely necessary on the march
and in the field. He thinks the mill
tary authorities have made the mis-
take of copying the drill of the large
companies of European standing
armies, when they are not suited to
sur smaller American companies.
For the American volunteer IL few
simple essential movements that may
bc learned in Il few weeks should be
all that is attempted. AS these es-
scntials the writer mentions: Know
ledge OF the use and care of arms: dis
ciplinc, use of cover. squad. company.

Land Investments.

FIFTY years ago many farmers in
the state of Illinois sold their farms
at four or five dollars per acre. They
were sure that country would not
amount to anything.
Twenty years ago neither corn.
timothy nor clover could be raised in
Iowa. Today it stands at the head
of corn producing states. and clover
and timothy yield from two to four
tons to the acre.
AS recently as ten years ago
thousands of acres of prairie was sold
in Northwestern Iowa for four
dollars per acre. Today this same
land is selling for from twenty to
fifty dollars per acre.
Only five years ago farms were sold
in South Dakota counties bordering
on Iowa and Minnesota for five
dollars per acre, which are now sell
ing for from twenty to thirty dollars
per acre, and during the past year
the lands in counties adjacent to
these border counties have doubled
in value.
1t seems to be inevitable that all
newly settled states must pass
through a series of hardships. This
is true of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin.
Minnesota and Iowa. South Dakota
settlers have had their trials to con.
tend with and we have now entered
upon an era of prosperity. The
ilarvests of the past two seasons have
been abundant, and the condition of
the soil now is such as to warrant
the coming year to be more pros
porous than any before. The rise IN
the price of lands is moving vest
ward each year. Nearly all the
choice public lands have been settled
upon and emig1ants must, and have
commenced to purchase their farms.
and this will certainly advance land
values. The sales now made are con.
fined almost entirely TO resident
farmers, and farmers living in
Minnesota and Iowa: they are our
near neighbors and have watched the
development of this state very
closely. They see that the history of
their own states is being repeated
and they are purchasing now while
prices are yet low, believing that
they cannot invest their money to as
good advantage elsewhere. The,

A Great Game Preverye.

Antelope island, in the great Salt

bids fair soon to afford the finest
hunting of any place in North Amer
lea. Col. w. +. Cody buffalo Bill,
accompanied by some English capital

place to establish and stock a game
park, and it is reliably reported tllao
Cody has offered 81, ,OO0, 900 for the ISL
and. j. ii. White and j. E. Dooly,
who own the property, refused the
offer, as they also have plans for
stocking the island with game. A
carload of rare game was received on
Tuesday, consisting of wild elk,
moose and black tailed deer. Moose
are nearly extinct. and the scarcity
makes them very expensive. fine spcci-
mems being valued at from $1,000 to
$4,000. Messrs. White and Dooley
have made good start in securing
the herd of buffalo formerly owned
by William Glassman. They intend
to keep adding to their collection un-
til they have one of the best stocked
game preserves in this country. An
telopc island is an ideal place for such
a resort. as the winters are mild and
there is good grazing all the year.
Snow is seldom seen on the mountains
of any of the islands of the lake.
