NO MORE FREE RMS.

The New York Sun notes the open
ing of the Cherokee strip on the 18th
of September as the final distribution
of the nations domain. 1t presents
tables from census reports showing
that the acres of cultivated land in
crea sed from 81 100000 in 1865 to
1875, 100000 in 1885, and that in
the succeeding nine years the addi-
tons have only been at about the
rate of million year, and during
the last four years they have aver
aged less than 100000 acres year.
The proportion of those who seek
farms is as great now as it ever
was, and there being no more free
farms to be had, the tide of emigra-
ton must be turned backward to
older sections of the country, and to
dividing the large, unwieldy farms
into smaller holdings This has al
ready been done to a considerable
extent. The whole effect of this con-
densation must be to lessen the pro-
portion of land employed for grow
ing staple crops of grain and cotton
by withdrawing it for the better
culture and greater care required in
gardening and small fruit growing
1t is very unlikely that our grain and
cotton crops will ever increase as
they have done. What new acreage
is gained in the West and Southwest
is even now offset by withdrawal o
land in the older sections of the
country. When $4,000 farms that
the Cherokee strip may make are
added to our cultivated area it will
furnish food for perhaps five months
supply to our present population
which is now increasing at the rat
of 100000 yearly. This show
plainly that within few years tn
home demand for agricultural pro
ducts will require all that we ca
produce. Then must come the err
OF better farming, which we hav
long been hoping for, but which ha
been retarded by the competition {
large areas of virgin soil brough
under cultivation. Better farmin
must be the rule to fu rnish food O
which the increasing population (
this country must live America

axis of the Ferris wheel was forged.
This axis is As feet long, 80 inches
in diameter, and weighs, complete,
70 tons, the weight OF "Mogul'
locomotive. 1t sustains burden
equivalent to the great cantilever
bridge at Cincinnati, and it would
sustain six of these with almost
equal ease. 1t is the largest steel
shaft ever forged. 1t was turned
out in the mightiest smithy ever de-
signed by man, and it was made by
two men and boy.
The gigantic shaft had to be lifted
40 feet in the air and set in its
sockets at the top of the towers. 1t
required less muscular exertion than
carving trunk to the third floor,
back" The great hubs were then
fitted in place and the work OF hang
ing the wheel began. Beginning at
the bottom, the heavy castings
which form the rims of the two
wheels-for there are two really,
with the cars hanging between
were hung one by one on the rods
which carry the weight Of the
wheel. Slowly the circle was COM
pleted and the last of the sections,
each of which weighs five tons, was
raised two hundred and seventy feet
to drop into its place. Then the
cars, thirty-six in number, were at
tached, and the great wheel was
fairly in place. Rising two hundred
and seventy feet in the air, it limned
its outlines against the sky, as
graceful and, but for its cars, as
delicately woven as a monster
spider web.
1t is not easy for the mind to
grasp the stupendous nature of this
undertaking. The wheel itself is two
hundred and fifty feet in diameter;
at its highest point it is two hundred
and sixty-eight feet above the earth.
That is to say, if Bunker Hill monu-
ment were used as a yardstick to
measure it, the towering monolith
would fall short fifty feet. If the
wheel were set in Broadway, by the
side of Trinity spire, it would lift the
passengers in it's cars to a level with
the apex of that soaring steeple.
The obelisk of Luxor or Trajan's
pillar, at Rome, would not be long
enough to serve for a radical spoke.
Then, again, as to its enormous
weight. The Niagara cantilever,
just below the Falls, was looked up
on as an engineering wonder when
it was built. Its construction re-
quired three years. The Ferris
wheel was built in FIVE months, and
its weight is four times that of the
Niagara bridge. The St. Louis
bridge was another wonder, and its
weight is about equal to that of the
big wheel complete. The Cincinnati
cantilever is another huge bridge; it
is 1900 feet, quarter of mile long,
and it would about balance the
scale with Mr.. Ferris big toy. And
the one is set immovable, resting on
two supports, while the wheel is
swung upon an axle lifted 40 feet
in the air. 1t has 36 cars, and in
these two regiments of soldiery could
be seated and swept with an almost
imperceptible motion high above the
White Wonder.-[Carl Snyder, in

ROT4ING GARBAGE.
The First Convictions for Dumping 1t
in the City.
Two Men Who Persisted in Ignoring
the Law-Better Prospect for
the Future.

a. DeMartini and H. Conriglioni ap-
peared in the Police Court yesterday
morning to answer to a charge made
against them by Health Officer Nichols,
of violating the ordinance relative to
dumping garbage within the city limits.
Health Officer II. L. Nichols testified
that he caught the defendants in the act Of
dumping two carts-loads Of garbage, con-
sIstlng Of rotten oranges, turnip tops and
the various other articles that go to make
up swirl from restaurants and residences,
upon lot near Eighth and T streets, on
the morning of the Sd. He had notified
them several times before that they must
not dump swiIl within the city limits and
they had promised him not to 90 so.
They each of them had wagon, and he
caught them just as they had dumped
their loads. He had them take fork and
fork over the two loads, and found that
they contained the swill.
Lawrence Mahoney, the Plumbing In
spector, who was with the Health Officer.
corroborated his testimony,
j. b. Ceredini testified that the defend
ants We're his partners, and that be had
hOg ranch across tho river where he took
two loads Of sWill day. The defendants
dld not haul sWill. There was only II
bucket of lime skins in their loads, moth
ing else, except dirt. There might have
been egg shells, or coffee grounds, but he
was positive there was nothing else. He
had 'greased' former officers to let him
dump there. treated them to beer, and
they had allowed him to. Mr.. Nichols
told him that the Board of Health would
prosecute him if he dumped there.
DeMartini dumped street sweepings
there that morning, nothing else, he was
positive. Well, yes, there might have
been some coffee grounds and egg shells,
but no turnip tops. Yes, he did take some
stun from the restaurant at Second and
Il streets, just bucket of lines. He did
not know much about what was in the
load, although he turned it over with a
fork when Nichols told him to.
The other defendant took the stand. but
all he would say in answer to various
plain questions was: 81 do not under
stand" He said it in such good English
that Judge Buckley finally told him that
he did not believe him, and that he had
not helped his case any by refusing to
answer. His lawyer finally withdrew
him in disgust.
The Judge, after remarking that the
ordinance was so sweeping in its pro-
VISIONS that it seemed to be very EASY to
convict under it, said that the defendants
where clearly guilty and he should in
illct hne OF Slo on each Of them.

was called to the stand. He has had
charge Of issuance of marriage licenses
for several years. In June, 1892, he issued
license to one Jef1eris, and he produced
the original affidavit, sworn to by the
applicant in procuring the license
The affidavit was handed to Attorney
Hart and Jetieris for inspection.
Deputy McGarvey then said that. ac-
cording to his best recollection. the man
who procured the license had dark
beard. He was about 40 years of age and
. feet inches in hight. The license was

was shown to the witness, and he said it
looked very much like the man who took
out the license.
ON discrimination McGsrvev said
he would not swear that the defendant
was the man who procured the license.
Jei1eris resemDled him about the fore
head and eyes, but the witness declared
that he could not be positive. The wit
ness looked at the man closely because he
did not spell Eugene as be had told the
witness he was going to spell it. Besides
this, the man seemed to write the first
part of his signature awkwardly, while
the name JeherlS was quite easy Tor him.
George II. Phillips, foreman at the
Giant Powder Works in Contra Costa
County, was called out Of order TO testify
as to the date and severity of an explo-
sion at the works last year. 1t occurred

The Twenty First street Branch Will
be Built at Once.
L. L. Lewis, one of the directors of the
Electric Railway Company, said yester-
day it was likely that the Twenty first
street extension Of the system would be
the first to be built. Inasmucn as that
street is aboutto be graded and improved,
1t would be better AMI cheaper to lay the
track when the street is excavated for the
gravel.
As soon as enough rails arrive, how
ever, Mr. Lewis says work will be com
menced on the H-street extension, and it
Will not take long TO complete all the
branches for which Messrs. Gallatin and
LiYermore were granted franchises.
As the tracks on X street are to be
raised, the company intends to double
the number Of ties by putting new one
between each two Of the old ones, thus
making the track doubly solid.
