increased activity in the industrial stocks,
especially in sugar. The feature that
has most impressed operators is the in
creasing disposition to take large vent
ures, and the quick response shown in
the general list to the revival of interest
in the industrial group. This is regarded
as implying that the men and the means
stand ready for a revival Of opera
tions in the event of any we'll organized
movement being undertaken. There are
those who have accumulated very large
amounts of stocks pending and following
the panic; and they may be assumed to
be waiting for an opportunity to realize
profits on their holdings. 1t is only a
question as to when they may regard the
opportunity as sufficiently ripe for
action. They would like to see some
improvement in the earnings of the rail-
roads; and that may be expected as an
early effect of the resumption Of indus
trial operations and the expert of pro-
duce as it's current extreme depression
of prices. They look also to the conclu-
sion of tariff legislation as removing the
great source of obstruction to home en-
terprlse, and may be expected to regard
that as the best time for testing the dis.
position of the market. The completion
of the reconstruction of some of the great
railroad properties now in the hands of
receivers, will also be a matter of much
"bull' significance. The contamination
of these various matters will be the more
Influential because they will be almost
simultaneous; and then will come the
occasion for a great campaign on the
stock exchange. This is in clear view as
a coming event, and the prospect begins
to excite interest and to strengthen an
already generally strong market.

DEMOCRATS will not be pleased to read
the call for the annual Republican Ma
tional league convention which has been
issued from Chicago. The convention
will be held in Denver, June Goth. The
work OF the convention will be finished
by July 4th, when the delegates will join
in a monster celebration of the nations
birthday. The rate of representation
will be six delegates-at-large from each
state and territory, and four from each
congressional district and one from each
college republican club. Ex-oficio dele
gates are: The president, secretary and
treasurer of the national league; one
vice president and one executive men,
Der OF the national organization ifrom
each state, and the president and secre-
tary of each state league, making four
ex-oficio delegates from each state. This
gives each state practically ten delegates
at-large in addition to the four from each
congressional district. The total rep
resentation will exceed 1900 delegates.
It will not be especially pleasing to de-
mocracy to read a part of the call. It
embodies about the opinion which the
public has of the administration. 1t
proves the spirit of the republicans, in
their preparation for the work to be done
and it proves also the extraordinary
quantity and excellent quality of the
campaign material which the democrats
have furnished. The sum of the situa-
ton is expressed in the first few words.
as follows:
Dazzled by the gIittering promises of de-
mocracy. II led astray by sophistry and
hypocrisy, the voters of the country in 1892
decided upon a change of national admin
tration. Democratic control and sectional
ule are again complete in the national
government, and starvation for labor and
ruin for capital prevail as the result Of the
policies and influences that dominate the
democratic party. The hallucinations of
1892 are over. Facts lave upset theories.
and the people, weary OF this staritf-tinker-
ing, bond'issuing: debt-increasing, treasury
depicting, business-paralyzing, wage-re-
ducing, queen-restoring and un-American
administration, now turn instinctively to
the party that saved the nation in a previ.
GUS hour of peril, and demonstrated mas
terly ability in giving the United States 30
years OF prosperity, unparalleled in the
history OF nations. Again it becomes the
mission of the grand old party to meet a
national emergency with the highest pat
rlotlsm. The party deplores the necessity,
but rises to the occasion. The struggle for
liberty, progress, fair wages and all that
America promises did not end with the de-
feat of 1892. The fight must and will 20 on,

GRAND Forks is still somewhat per-

GRAND Forks is still somewhat per-
picked over the question: of securing a
supply of pure water. The special pub
lie health committee to whom was dele
gated the duty of considering the question
have made a partial report to the city
council. A careful estimate of the cost
OF piping a sufficient supply from the
mouth of Clearwater river has been
made. The distance being forty miles
a 2O-inch pipe would be required to sup
ply 100000 gallons daily, and would
cost the city s5OO,O0O laid, the pipe alone
costing s25O,00O. Reports of analysis Of
water taken from several artesian wells
were submitted. In each case the
amount of solid matter wal very large,
which led the committee to be adverse
to further consideration of that plan.
The supply from Sandy river was found
to be impracticable, it being an inland
slough. The committee was of the opin-
ion that the present water supply could be
continued, after first being purified by
6%lterization or by electrical treatment.
The committee was authorized by the
council to expend such an amount as is
necessary for further Investigation, and
City Engineer Russell was authorized to
go east to Chicago and New York, to in.
vestigate various systems now in use.
Grand Forks has concluded, wisely, that
purer water is essential to the health of
the city, and will doubtless spare no Of
forts toward the end of obtaining it.

roundLouse at jamestown. At present
the company uses eastern coal in all of
its engines, roundhouses, pumphouses,
etc, on this division. Should the test
now being made, result in a demonstra-
ton of the fact that the use of the North
Dakota article would be more economi-
cal, it is probable the railroad company
will adopt it's use. The amount of coal
consumed by the company, aver on n
division, is considerable, and the use of
the North Dakota coal instead OF the
eastern article, will be another step in
the advance of the industry.

Col. MORTON and other prominent
Fargo business men have inaugurated a
movement to get the Duluth & Winni-
peg road, and have written to Senator
Washburn of Minnesota, to enlist his
good offices IN an attempt to have the
road turn directly west from it's pro-
jected main line at a point east of Fargo
and 60 on through Fargo to the 500,
striking that road north of Valley City.
This would tap the best part of the Red
River valley and give a local carrying
trade from the day of the completion of
the road.

company anticipates a brisk season in
the "park" business. The Northern Pa

from inquiries received by the road it is
thought the volume of Yellowstone bust

THE WHEAT

In the Minneapolis Journal of some
days ago, R. J. Burdick. one of the state
railroad commissioner presented and in
teresting article on the wheat situation.
Mr.. Burdick, after dwelling on facts and
figures of the buying and selling of wheat
at home, from which he argues that
wheat raising must be decreased for a
time, if the price of wheat is to advance
materially, gives some interesting facts
of the situation abroad:
On February 10th there was sold in
Liverpool 1900 quarters $4,000 bushels) 1
hard Manitoba wheat, which is about equal
in quality and price to our l hard, for 26
shillings and 8 pence per quarter, equal to
1870 per bushel-from this deduct 1870
for lake and canal freights, insurance and
elevator charges from Port Arthur to
Montreal, and SIC for insurance freight

Now THAT the Worlds Fair is over and
Chicago is troubled with the feeding of
the poor, North Dakota comes nobly to
the front, as usual. Farmers Of Ram

money and had the wheat ground and

pound sacks Of flour and $50 in money.
The Great Northern and the Chicago,
Burlington & Northern furnished free
transportation for the flour.

somewhat fewer also. For the week

which 6 ,732,615 were of manufacturing

VALUABLE SEA OTTER.
Its Beautiful and Costly Fur is
Rapidly Causing Its Extinction.

! The sea otter is the largest of the
| marten family, and is very unlike the
animal after which the family is
named. 1t has a thick, clumsy body,
which, with the round, blunt head, is
from IL to feet in length. Unlike
those of all other offers, the tail is
short and stumpy, being about one
fifth the length of the head and body.
AS if to increase its value and hasten
it's destruction, the skin is much larger
than the body, like a misfit coat and
lies loosely upon it in many folds.
For this reason the stretched pelt is
always much wider and longer than
the animal that wore it.
The coat of the full-grOWn sea otter
is very dense, very fine, and its color
is Shimmering, luStrOuS black. Ever
since the earliest discovery of the sea
otter by the Russians, it's fur has been
eagerly sought by them, and the cash
prices of skins have always been SO
high that there is not, in the whole
United States. a museum rich enough
to afford a good series Of specimens.
Mr. Charles II. Townsend, the natural
ist of the United States fish commits
sion, writes that in 1891 the price of
the best skins had reached $500 each,
and their value has been since increas-
ing. On the northwest coast Of the
state Of Washington, where sea offers
are still found along a thirty mile strip
Of coast from Gray's harbor, half way
to Cape Flattery, they are shot by
hunters from tall "derricks' from 80
to 40 feet high, erected in the surf half
way between high tide and low tide,
and the hunter who kills four offers in
a year considers his work successful.
Owing to the persistent hunting that
has been going one ever since Alaska
came into our possession, the sea otter
is rapidly following the buffalo to the
state of determination.
The favorite food of the sea otter is
not fish, as one might suppose from
the habits of the common otter, but
CLANS, crabs, mussels and sea-urchins.
It's molar teeth are Of necessity very
strong for the grinding up of this
rough fare, and the muscles of the
jaws are proportionately powerful.

IMITATION SWEETBREADS.
The Real Article Is a Delicacy but It
Is Never Served.

Pittsburg Dispatch: "a true sweet
bread is perhaps the most healthy
meat that can be eaten" said a doctor
yesterday, but you are never able
to get it. The sweetbread proper is
the pancreas, which is one of the most
effective agents in promoting diges-
ton, but the sweetbread of trade Is
usually obtained from the throats of
cattle and is what is called the thyroid
gland. This gland rests against the
windpipe. and while its texture Is
similar to that of the real sweetbread
it has not the same beneficial qualities
But some butchers. in order to make
money, pass off the saliyary gland,
that which furnishes the saliva, To-
Gated in the cheeks. for a sweetbread.
This is the most inferior substitute
of all. The pancreas or real sweet
bread is 2 most dainty mOrsel. It is
Of triangular form, while the sweet
breads obtained from the throat are
Of oval form But what is the use of
making people dissatisfied? They have
been eating thyroid and salivary
glands for sweetbreads for years and
have been satisfied. But then they
have never tatsed the real thing"

PROPAGATING PLANTS.
Curious Method for fastening the Or
binary Process of Nature.

Washington Star.-Some very curious
processes for propagation are practiced
at the public gardens. One consists in
cutting with a knife ring around a
branch Of a plant. One might i'm
agine that the intention was to kill
the branch, but such is by no means
the object in view. The cut having
been made, a piece Of wet moss is
wrapped and tied around the branch
at that point. Beneath this protection
the sap exudes from the wound and
little rootlets are developed. After a
few days the branch is cut away from
the parent stem, being then itself
complete plant, with roots, already
to put in a pot. This plan is adopted
with plants Of slow growth, because
one plant may thus be split into half
a dozen or more of good size, instead
of waiting for a seeding or little slip
to develop.
