OIL INSPECTION.

The st. Thomas Times and several
other papers copy an article from the
Bismarck Tribune which inferential.
ly states that the shipper Of small lots
Of kerosene oil is prevented from SO
doing by the expense Of inspection.
This IS mistake, the fee for inspec.
tion on fifty barrels or more is fifteen
cents barrel; for one barrel alone,
fifty cents. and the owner of the oil
can call ON the inspector to inspect ut
any railroad station for this amount
while the inspector pays his own
travelling expenses and hotel bill.
Speaking further, Of the uses Of in.
spection, it seems to be hard for PEG.
pie to understand that oil Is inspect
ed and tested by law for the purpose
Of safety alone; while the test does to
a certain cxtcnt determine the burn.
ing quality Ut the oil, there are many
other things to be taken; into. con-
sideration us to its proper consistency
for the purpose Of illumination. All
the inspector does is to discover to
what point the oil must be heated to
DC explosive. 1t is therefore easy to
be seen that high test" oil is not
necessarily, nor yet probably the best
oil. For instance, linseed, lard or
whale oil would have to be heated to
Il very high degree before it would be.
come explosive. II these substances
should be mixed with coal oil they
would make the oil "high test but
nobody believes such mixture would
burn better In lamps.
The oil inspectorship is very much
for the same purpose as steams boiler
inspectcrship. The boiler inspector
DIES not determine whether u boiler
is good boiler Or bad boiler, except
as to its safety under pressure of
steam. !"
Safety is the one quality necessary
to public welfare whether In burning
oil, engines and numerous other
things; the other qualities are not
yet made matters Of legislation, and
In our opinion, raising the test Of coal
oil to 1902 will not improve the burn.
Ing qualities, any more than raising
the amount Of pressure that boiler
can stand without bursting will cause
that boiler to make steam faster with
less fuel, y

The general trend of opinion seems
to be that Harry Hayward's own story
on the witness stand has not mater.
tally helped his case. The weakness
of the defense lies mostly in the fact
that they have not been able to SHOW
sufficient motive on the part OF any.
one else to commit the murder, while
on the other hand the evidence ia
positive that Harry Hayward would
be beneficiary by the death Of Miss
Cling. This Is however the verdict of
the public, what the jury will say is a

spread on to the neiehboring farms,
menacing destruction, aud increasing
trouble and expense to the thrifty
farmer. Especially IL this the case
with lands that are rented or worked
by nOn-residents, that do not person.
ally tend to the cultivation on the
land, but whose object is to make the
most out Of the land with the least
expense, and do not look to the per.
mancnt improvements thereof. Now
US the trouble from noxious weeds is
largly the fault of land owners on
whose land the weeds first get start
and spread from. therefore our opinion
Is that u noxi0ns weed law should be
so framed that would efFectually lay
the cost Of destroying the weeds to
the land on which they grow, SO rs to
not lay tax on the thrifty farmer,
to clean the lands Of the slovcnIy
and careless ones. However when
the weeds get such start that the
land owner can not contrul them, then
the township whould advance aid, Is
far us such aid would not incur a
special tax levy therefor; then the
county In the same manner, and II
the county could not stamp IL out
without special tax levy, then the
state should help, and on the same
line the U. S. Government next, for
the welfare Of the union would de.
mand It.
II the land owners Of this state
would take advantage OF uur forest
culture laws aud uniform system Of
tree planting was followed throughout
the state it would check the drift Of
cactus plant. II every section Of Land
had u strip two rods wide grown with
forest trees all around 1t, just think
OF how that would stop the drift Of
the weeds, and make 1t comparative
~ easy u, overcome the cactus pest,
and still only amount to two acres
from every l6O acres that would need
to be planted, which In most cases
could be taken from the highway;
aud the owners could get the state
bounty Of 10000 besides benefit IRON
the timber grown and general benc-
fit to the state that would follow ex.
tcnsive and systematic forest culture.
