A Peculiar Bargain.

MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, Aug ga
paper published near Forman, n. D.,
brings out romantic incident in
in connection with the nomination by
the republican state convention of
Miss Emma F. Bates Of Valley City
to be superintendent of schools. Miss
Bates had charge of her canvass for
the nomination and found formidable
opposition in John Devine and Prof.
J. HI. Holland. She was able to side
track the latter by making herself
solid with the Young mans republi-
can league. She then entered into
negotiations with Mr.. Divine, first de-
manding unconditional surrender
This he refused. After further nego-
tiations, it is said, he agreed to pull off
the track, provided, if she was elected
state superintendent she would make
him her deputy and marry him in the
bargain. After some deliberation she
agreed to do this, providing he would
stump the state for her. AS he is a
powerful speaker, with abundant wit
and repartee, Miss Bates is conceded
to have made the shrewdest political
deal yet known.
made party measure, as the opposi-
ton people, without regard to party,
demand further restriction upon
immigration it will come. if not now,
in the near future. For one, I pro-
pose to keep this standard to the front
as long as I remain in Congress, and
I believe all patriotic people will re-
spond. The objection that inspec-
ton by consuls will interfere with the
present laws is ridiculous. The meas
ure will save expense to the govern
ment by utilizing these consuls
instead of adding expense. This OBJ
lection seems to mere pretext and
will not weigh with men of intelli-
gence."

THE Chilcat Indians announce a
big potlatch at Chilcat, Alaska, the
latter part of this month. The pot
latch, or gift party, is novel relic of
the old customs of our native Indians.
A rich and influential Indian, or
several may combine, and inviting
their friends, proceed to distribute
money, blankets, calico and trinkets
among them. 1t is usual to give the
women pieces of calico, but the
Alaska chief proposes to have a blan-
ket $50 feet long made, and divide it
among his friends. No potlatch has
been held in the Northwest for some
years, the Indians probably feeling
the stringency of the times, as we'll as
other people.

/ WhAIchaCk Warshin.

The idea OF a whaleback war ship
is not new. 1t has been n OF Capt.
McDougall's pet hobbies ever since
he invented the whaleDack. it is
somewhat revolutionary, but not
more SO than was his original propo-
sition 10 build freight vessels OF this
form or that Of building magnificent
passenger vessels like the Christie
pher Columbus. These suggestions
were both ridiculcd as evolutionary
and impractical, but they were both
demonstrated TO he so entirely sue
ccssful that the whalcbaCk has come
to stay.
Capt McDougall's plans for a war
vessel of the whalcback model have
not been made public, but his gen.
eral idea as discussed by him before
is known. He would construct n
or more merchant vessels of the
%whaleback design and equip them
with warship armor and guns There
would be a heavy armor covering the
entire prov and reaching back on the
body OF the boat far enough TO pro-
tect the guns, whith should be inside
the whaleback. The vessels would
also be provided with additional bal
last tanks which could be filled in
order to sink the whaleback so that
shots from the enemy would not in
jure her. In this Capt McDougall
combines the whalcback plan with
that Of the submarine ram.
He maintains that these vessels

the ordinary armored war vessels, and
that they could be built for the or
binary carrying trade on the lakes,
under the subsidy Of the Tn ted
states Government, to be taken pos
session of 10y the Government in case
of need.
1t may appear re- olutionary to the
naval authorities and experts, but
there have been several revolutions
in naval vessels within the last thirty
years, and each OF these has been
away from the IMPRESS We bearing of
a ship and toward the more practi-
cal form of a loating fort.
The Monitor was not impressive in
appearance and was ridiculed, but
she made a most impressive fight
when she sunk the Merrimac. the
whaleback idea was for years ridi-
culed, eve when McDougall pro-
posed it only rs a freighter without
motive power. 1t is now not only a
fire ghter with its own motive power,
but il is also one OF the fastest ana
most comfortable passenger vessels
ever constructed in any form. Since
| McDougall has demonstrated that
his revolutionary idea is successful,
il will not do TO ridlcule il even for
war vessels until il has had a fair
trial. -Inter-Ocean

The Matter Of Good Roads.

While this journal, says the Cali
fornia Fruit Grower, has all along
taken ground in favor Of lettering
our public roads, it will he remem-
bered that IL has held throughout
that good roads must cost a good deal
OF money. lin fact we have more
than once pointed out that such cost
would be much greater than has gen.
orally been assumed, and we have
cautioned counties proposing to vote
bonds for road Improvements not to
expect TO accomplish too much with
a limited supply of money. Apropos
OF all this we quote the following
from the Chronicle OF San Francisco:
Mr.. Pope, the gentleman who, in
the interest Of the trade in bicycles,
has been ~agitating for good roads, will
probably read with some surprise the
report Of the Ohio Road Commission
recently made TO Governor Mckinley.
That body after extensively exam
lining into the matter has concluded
that it would require about s., 900 a
mile TO construct good roadways, and
that this would necessitate an ex-
BclILiUuIC VI dU ltdSU ptOU, UOO, OOO W
provide the State OF Ohio with an
effective road system. This amount
the Commission regards as prohibi-
tive and arguing from this prohibI-
tive cost and the waste which would
naturally be incurred by depending
oE horse power for TRANSPORTATION
purposes, it recommends instead the
laying Of steel rails on highways and
the substitution OF steam, electric or
other inanimate power for the horse
system of transportation. AS the
statistics collated show that the cost
Of moving freight by horse is almost
% cents per ton-mile, and only about
a cent per ton-mile by steam. the
recommended on seems sound il it
will not harmonic with those Of the
loudest advocates Of good roads who,
after ali, are thinking more Of the
comfort of the cyclist and the owners
Of carriages than Of the interests Of
the farmer.

Fields and Pastures.

a farm divided into large fields, es-
pecially into long ones, can he Guilt
waited To best AZ advantage with least
loss Of time in turning at ends with
plOws and machines. In the ideal
farm division, says the American
AgrIculturist fences will be almost
entirely dispensed with, facilitating
cultivation, saving for tillage Of land
occupied by fences; also saving the
great expense of building and repair
ing fences. The time has hardly ar
rived IN this country for the general
adoption Of the practice Of soilins
stock. When it shall become neces-
Sary to economic in the use of land,
when population shall beg n to crowd
upon the means of subsistence, past
uring arabic lands will gradually
cease.
So long as pasturing is continued
every pasture should be provided with
an abundance OF pure, sweet, running
water. A flowing stream is con-
sidered very desirable in a pasture,
but a creek often renders "A good deal
of land unfit for cultivation 1t gen.

watering stock. A well with a wind
mill and pump has recommendations,
though where water "a be brought
from a spring and flow into a pen
stock the best conditions are afforded.
In either pump or penstock the over
flow should be conducted away by an
undcrdrain. No good farmer will
suffer his stock to depend upon slough
or swamp water, or to drink at fifty,
stagnant pools Such water must
necessarily affect the health Of stock
and the wholesomeness of their pro.

Dolls for FirewOOd.

All who have travelled on the
Continent will recol ect the eXorbit-
ant charge for wood and the eXpen-
Sive luxury Of a constant fire.
One gentleman, who vas ending
some weeks in a German city, asserts
that he found that large wooden
dolls, which were plentiful in the
shops. gave him a better fire, since
the wood was well-seasoned. while
they cost less than bundles OF wood
bought at the hotel.
He aroused much curiosity. as, day
after day, a large basket of dolls was
sent from one or another shop TO his
room, until il was discovered that he
used them for firewood.
While Mark Twain was in Paris,
one Of his friends was married there,
and with his customary humor, he
bought a basket OF wood, tied it fam
cifully with bright ribbons, and sent
IL TO his friend, with his card, upon
which was written-''The most ex-
pensive present l could find This,
as one may readily imagine, afforded
much amusement.

He gives the lie to the old saying, for
he is a prophet in h $ W country.

4. He is absolutely American in every
line he writes. His schooling has
been from the S hool ot realities. He
takes things at first hand. He con-
slders his success to be due 60 the
fact that he is one of the people, and
has written of the things be liked
and thew liked. The time will come
when his work will be seen to be
something more than the fancies OF
