WILD CAk1ELS IN ASIA.
The "Ship of the Desert' Now Known to
 Thrive in Cold Countries.

The "Ship of the Desert" Now Known to
 Thrive in Cold Countries.
 According to recent dispatch from St. Petersburg the wild camel has been discovered in large numbers in that portion of Asia which lies between Lobnor and Sajuy. This will dispose of the doubts that have hitherto pre- vailed on the question as to whether the ''ship of the desert" really exists in an untamed condition. From time immemorial, says the New York Trib- une, two species of tame camel have been in use, namely, that known as the dromedary, with only one hump, and found in India, Arabia and Africa, while the one with two humps is met with in Central Asia, Persia and the south of Russia. Both species figure in the sculptures of Assyria, and are mentioned in the oldest books of the Bible, but always as domestic animals, and no trace exists of their being drafted from their savage state into civilized life. Indeed, it has generally been supposed that the camel never existed otherwise than as a beast of burden, and the few specimens of wild dromedaries which have hitherto been secured by travellers and hunters have been rega rded as merely some of the domestic species that had reverted to the freedom of barbarism. Zoolcgic- ally speaking, the newly discovered wild camel of Lobnor does not differ

Canvassing the Returns.

The business of counting the ballots commenced as soon as the polls were closed and almost from the beginning the count indicated the final re- suit and disclosed an unexpected Populist vote. In the First ward the first thirty votes showed a slight plurality for Herndon. This was afterward changed in Murphy's favor. In the Second ward the Republican ticket led from the outset and it's plurality increased steadily to the close of the count. The Third ward was the Democratic stronghold, favorite rally ing place and Herndon's plurality soon ran up to thirty, sank to twenty but could not be wiped out.
 The first fifty votes in the Fourth ward gave Murphy 25, Herndon l3, and

Improvement in Sugar Beets.

Improvement in the quality of beets and in the processes of manufacture IS so great that in Germany the root will produce ten per cent. of it's weight in sugar. This is encouraging to those who are experimenting in this line in this country.

There never was another such election in Phoenix. It had been predicted, and the prediction was based on the excite ment of the day and night before, that the polling places would become scenes of violence and disorder. When the polls were opened there were no indi-

a crowded house. The ladies and gen.
tIemen were dressed in the quaint cos
tunes of tho 18th century. The "star'
piece of the evening was song, Reuben
and Rachel, by Kathleen Crane and
Manley Flynn. They brought down
the house and were vociferously encor-
ed. Mrs. Cranes "Readin' piece, TAX

and the lady was loudly encored. Miss

encore. the entertainment was got up
under the direction of Mrs. Bartlett and
was decided success.

The little weather cock that edits

CAMPAIGN FACTS
FOR FARMERS.
Legislation A nd the Price
of Wheat.

we nave received missent copy
Of the Barnes County Populist Of
Oct. 2, in which we are asked the
following questions: elias Farmer
Nil so soon forgotten the time when
he could not ship car of wheat but
was at the mercy of the elevator men
who monopolized the wheat traffic,
and what change took place when
the legislature passed the grain and
warehouse bill compelling railroads
to ship wheat for anybody and every
body? Will he deny that legislation
did not help to raise the price of
wheat?"
AS to the first question we have
not forgotten; and it proves what we
have contended for in this series of
papers that all legislation has not
been in favor ofmonopoly and money
power, but some Of it has been in be-
half of the farmer. This article in
the Populist proves it.
AS to the second question we deny
that legislation did help to raise the
price of wheat. We will prove it.
My wheat market is Duluth. Wheat
is quoted there today we will say at
soc per bushel. The freight from my
shipping point is twelve and one-half
cents per bushel. l pay one cent
bushel on commission. 1t l ship
through elevator l am charged three
cents per bushel as margin. This
margin goes to pay for all elevator
expenses, and out of it comes the
profit on the money invested in the
elevator. Now if l ship from the
car put my wheat on the same mar
ket, at the same price. and pay the
same commission; but l save the
margin. Of course l get more for
my wheat because 1 ship it myself
and not because l get better price
for it. Legislation has not raised the
price OF wheat; and if it should it
would do no good as we illustrated
in the article criticised by the illogi-
cal, misleading writer in the Populist.
This by-the-way is a fair sample of
the logic found in populistic papers
and heard from populistic speakers.
The poor farmer is deceived by it..
Legislation helps the farmer in many
ways but it can't fix values. A COW
may be valued at 20 dollars; but a
man may have to pay IS dollars for
it in poor money. The value of the
cow is fixed; but money may be good
OR bad, as note may be good or
poor according to the financial in
tegrity of the maker.

Normal School Item, June, 1898,
edited by Prof. Mcfarland, said of
Miss Bates: "In all her work she
has demonstrated her ability as a
teacher and as clear and logical
thinker on all subjects of public con-
Germ. She is we'll known as leader
in the state of all the reforms in which
the women of the state are interested.
She is state lecturer on purity for
the w. C.. T. u, and in public ad.
dresses is not excelled in the state.
She is positive and fearless, yet amia-
bic in all her relations, and has a
noticeable influence over her students.
She was recently chosen by the board
of management for her third year in
our beloved school, and will this year
have the responsibility of preceptress
as we'll as instructor. She has wrought
long and earnestly to bring the nor
NAL school to its present standard.
No one has thought Of the Normal
school without the presence of Miss
Bates"
Such an endorsement ought to sat-
isfy everybody that Miss Bates is
we'll qualified tor the position of sup
erintendent of public instruction.
