They Are Costly, But Their Charm May
BE Perennial.
Being photographed nowadays is an
elaborate process. Heretofore, when
a woman wanted her photograph
taken, she went to the studio and ar.
ranged about the size of the picture
and the number she wanted. She gave
/ reassuring touch to her hair. sat
down before the camera, turned her
head little to the right or to the left,
as the artist desired. and, clamped on
either temple, gazed fixedly, insipidly
or otherwise, at spot on the wall.
Now the subjects possibilities" are
studied in detail. Nothing is left to
accident. The Fashionable woman car
ries her various gowns to the studio
with her, and tries them on, each in
turn, that the artist may decide which
suits her best. She pays fifty dollars
for the photographs.
Her hair is arranged by skillful hands
in different ways, that style Of Golf
fure may be chosen which will be APP
propriate, not only to the contour of
her face and head, but to the environ
ments of the picture. The subjects
hands and arms are criticised, likewise
her throat and neck, to see whether a
severe high costume or an evening
gown shall be used. The topics Of
backgrounds and accessories are dis
cussed.
All of these tinted carbon photo

the subject will pose as dame of the
First empire, with skinny satin gown,
elaborate couture, jeweled girdle, fan
and inaigrette. Perhaps she stands,
half turned about, with her back to
the spectator, and her pure profile
deftly brought out on a dark velvet
curtain. All women would not look
in such a position. The
artist knows whom to choose, and the
subject will wonder at her own beauty
when she sees the picture.

These latter-day photographs are
like paintings, and are likely never to

State Creamery,

The state agricultural college at
Fargo now has a creamery, which was
formally accepted by the college yester-
day. 1t Is the largest in the state and
has a capacity for handling 800 pounds
OF milk per hour. The plant was SO
cured by subscription among Fargo bust.
ness men, and will be managed by the
college. The farmer brings his milk to
the creamery and it is tested in five min
utes, and the operator can tell just how
much butter can be obtained from bis
milk before it is put through the pro-
cess. All milk is measured by the pound,
about twelve and a half gallons to the
100 pounds. From the weighing tank it
is run through a strainer into the re-
ceiving tank, pumped from there into
the separator-which runs $500 revolu-
lions a minute and has a capacity of
1900 gallons an hour; the cream is run
into another tank to ripen, the milk to a
tank on the wall and a pipe from that to
the farmers wagon outside, where he
gets back th%ree-fourths of the amount
which he brings. The cream is made
into butter or cheese and packed in Geld
storage,

DEAR SIR: Since my return home my

your being retained in office SO long by
me, and now insist it is time to give one
of our wi party an opportunity to earn

cannot be resisted, and I am compelled
to recommend some one for your place.
I have favored you out of a feeling of
sympathy and in consideration for your
large and dependent family, and because
l thought you worthy and deserving:
now that n of my party wants and
needs a position, it is in order that he
should have it. I have written to the
sergeant-at-arms on the subject and he
will no doubt notify you about the
change. Truly Yours,

reference to the question Of patronage.
Taking all these things into considera.
ton I say you we're duty bound by every
principle of honor and justice to retain
me, not as a folder but as a messenger
of the senate. Did you consult your
party friends when you had Frank Nc
Kenna, who is an ardent republican and
a resident of the District of Columbia,
appointed a clerk in the census office,
and where be remained about a year?
Did you consult them when you had a
young man by the name of Clifford ap-
pointed to a position in the treasury de-
partment? Did you consult them when
you had a District boy appointed
a page in the senate at a salary
of $75 a month? This position il you
had given it to some North Dakota boy
might have been the means of lifting
the mortgage on some North Dakota
farm. None of these persons ever saw
North Dakota. I can't state it as a fact
from personal knowledge, but rumor
says and I believe it to be true, that you
had more people appointed to positions
here who reside in the District than
from North Dakota. There is no excuse
for my removal. You have beggared
family and God will hold you re-
sponsible for it in the great day of final
accounts.

Looking After Investments.

Finlay Dun, the Scotch capitalist, &C
companied by his son, Finlay Dun, jr.,
arrived IN the city from the east Friday
morning. Mr.. Dun has been in the
James river country for several days, in
company with some other eastern in
v~estors, looking after some property
there, and has com here to look after
some city property which is owned by
him. MI. Dun was an extensive investor
in North Dakota property in the
eighties, some of bis purchases lying in
tie James river valley, and a number of
them on the Missouri slope. He owns
now several pieces of property on Fourth
street of this city, among them the In
ternational hotel property, and some
adjoining lands. He owns also a quarter
block just south of the railroad crossing
at Third street. His property here is in
charge of M. P. Skeels, in whose COM
pany Mr.. Dun is looking over it today.
One of the investments in which Mr..
Dun was interested in the valley was
that represented in the large, unfinished
hotel Mt Windsor, which has attracted
attention from passengers on passing
trains, because Of it's complete dispro-
portion to the unsettled prairie surround
iDgs. In early days the North American
Land company, in which Mr.. Dun is
interested, purchased through Calvin
Brown a large amount of land in Suits
man county supposed to be the best
character of farm land. A portion of
the money was, it is said, put by Mr..
Brown iuto the hotel, and it has stood
for many years as a monument to an un.
fortunate foreign investment. Mr.. Dun
has been looking over the land, which is
situated about twenty miles south Of
Windsor, in the Coteaux. What dis.
position is intended for it is not known
Mr.. Dun himself is one of the best
known men in Scotland and England, az
an authority on agricultural matters
having made agriculture a study, and
being frequently called upon to deliver
lectures before societies and meetings
on that subject. He also acted as cor
respondent of the London Times for the
royal commission that visited this cou
try several years ago to investigate
methods of agriculture, etc, and report
their findings.

Thursday from Jail, where he has been
confined for a couple of weeks, because
of suspected completely in the escape of
two prisoners from the jail some weeks
ago. Perhaps the most attractive part
of Wells is his name, but notwith-
standing the fact that he is a typical hobo,
he is a jolly sort of fellow, who knows
all of the arts of his class, aud doesn't
hetitate to say so.
Wells was one of the men who came
in to testify Gable out Of his harness

been an old time partner of Cables.
After Cables escape, Wells was kept
under surveillance by the 0 Ulcers, and
after he had been taken into custody, he
told the authorities of Lees scheme to
release Gable and Hungerford, and said
Lee had attempted to get him to go up
to the jail at night, and pass files and
other tools into the Jail window. Wells

An Historic Mound Excayated,

Friday afternoon James Wallace,
Frank Burt and Walter F. Cushing,
secretary of the State Historical society,
excavated the prehistoric mound in the
center of the old Sibley camp at the
mouth OF Apple creek, on the Faulkner
place. Several cross section trenches
were dug but 10 human remains were
found, though grey streaks which might
have been residue Of bones, we're found
in a circle about the center. In the
mound, which is about thirty feet in
diameter, and about two feet down, was
dug up a quantity of stones and ashes,
showing, as in all these mounds, that
they we're built by a race long since ex-
tlnct. A number of pieces of pottery
and large quantities of flint chips and
one or two war arrowheads we're found
in the vicinity. In one of the old
trenches thrown up by Sibley's men was
found, buried under the skeleton of a
horse, the upper half of an old cavalry
boot in a fair state of preservation, also
a piece Of a china plate.
The rifle pits are still very plainly in
evidence and circle a space probably
thirty acres in area. There are over
seventy of them, varying in length from
ten to seveuty-ive feet. AS a place Of
defense the pos ton was very strong,
the south and west sides being protected
by the twenty-foot embankment which
falls away on those sides-the ones from
which an attack was expected-while
the pits on the other sides covered the
trail to the water supply at Apple creek.
There is much of historic interest about
the place which, doubtless, would be en-.
HANGED by a thorough examination.
The county historical society should
secure a correct plat of this ground be-
fore time and the pillow have totally
obliterated the pits.
Quite a number of mounds in this
vicinity have been excavated and quanti-
ties of pottery, arrowheads and other
remains secured, all of which would
form objects of interest in the collection
of historical relics now being gathered
by the State Historical society, and Sec
rotary Gushing would be pleased to re-
ceive such donations and will properly
label them az too date of discovery,
place and name of party donating same.
Any other relics pertaining to the early
history of the state will be thankfully
received by the society and properly
credited. Haven't you got something of
this nature that you are willing to
donate?

incorporating,

The Catholic churches in all parts of
the state are Incorporating, and the Sec
rotary Of state in the past few days has
issued articles to about nineteen of them,
the last of the number having been
issued Thursday. The incorporators in
each case are Bishop Stanley, Vicar
General Egan, who is private secretary
to the bishop, the priest of the parish in
which the church is situated, with two
lay residents. The idea is to have the
possession of each church in the state
definitely established in the district
where it is located. The local church was
incorporated several days ago.

Some Taxation Figures.

The official proceedings of tn, state
board of equalization have been printed
and are ready for distribution Throughout
the state. An int, esting portion of the
statistical part of the proceed
ings is found in an abstract of the
state tax list for the year 1894. Upon q
total valuation in the state of taxable
property Of all skinds, aggregating $780,
630.553, there was levied a total tax of
S2,56l ,855.41, at an average rate of taxa
ton of 800 mills. Cass county levied
the largest tax, 1896, Z .89, with Grand
Forks second, at 1927, 951.33, and Will
liams the smallest, $2,23287, although
Oliver levied but 50, 33.14. The heaviest
rate of taxation was in Ward county,
1873 mills, and the lowest in Billings,
1874 mills. OF the total amount of tax
levied, 1884 y895.O8 was for state revenue
and interest, s167,4S0.86 for state school
purposes, S40,387 for school poll tax, and
S665,091.87 from county and district
school purposes. For county revenue
there was levied S5O6, 800 81, for interest
on county debts s1O6, 109.44, for road and
bridge taxes S110,8O8. 82, and for other
county special taxes, $55, 140.80. For
the carrying on Of city governments,
S256,736.A was levied, for townships
s~15l,537.36, and for city dog taxes $l2,-
SOL.
The expenditure for educational pur-
poses in the state is by far the largest of
any item of expense. Considering all of
di fferent school taxes levied last year,
the sum total is S872, 959.7 "a, or nearly one
half of the total taxes collected. This
amount is nearly two and a half times as
much as was levied for state revenue and
interest, over one and a half times as
much as was levied for avenue by all of
the counties in the state, three times as
much as was levied to sustain all of the
city governments in the state, and was
equal to the amount levied for county

A Promising Country.

Mr.. j. W. Potter of the North Yakima,
Wash, Daily Herald, who returned west
Friday morning after a visit Of day with
A. D. Lucas, talks interestingly Of the
Yakima valley country, which is n of
the garden spots of the state. "The
Yakima country has been especially
favored since it was first made a fruit
growing REGION" said Mr.. Potter, in
speaking of the region. %"Irrigation and
the cultivation of small tracts Of land
has made it one of the finest fruit grow
ing countries to be seen anywhere. All
kinds of berries are grown in profLsion,
and of excellent quality, and attention
is now being given quite extensively to
grape culture, which promises to be a
success. Not long ago a carload of
Washington strawberries was shipped to
Chicago and sold at a profit to the grow
ers-the idea of which would have been
met with ridicule, perhaps, had it been
suggested a few years ago. In the past
two years the growth of the fruit ship.
ping industry has been something won
derful, and during, the fruits season this
year the receipts at one station, where a
large amount of shipping is done, were
something like $4,000 for transporta-
tion of fruit to various points. 1t is est.
mated now that next year there will be
three times the number of fruit trees
and vines in bearing that there were this
year, and from this it will be seen that
next year, unless there should be some
mishap, the shipments of fruit will be
even greatly larger than this.
yakima county, however. does not
depend on fruit alone. In the foothills
and highlands there are a million sheep,
which contribute materially to the gen.
eral revenue. Then the cultivation OF
hops has brought about another success.
full industry. In fact, the whole state Of
Washington is in better shape than ever
before, and just at present the signs of
plenty and prosperity are very promis'
ing"
