New York city I dare say that not one in
q thousand Of the population own land.
A few years ego took 3 sort OF census
from the assessors books OF Multnomsh
county, Oregon, in which the city Of
Portland is located, and in q population
Of $4,000 there were some 400 land
owners, and they boast out there that
Portland is q city OF home-oWners and
that everyone can get land. If only 10
per cent. own land, then less than per
cent. Of landowners are benefited by the
rise in the value Of land that comes from
land booms, for while city lots 90 up,
farm lands not immediately adjacent to
such cities, 60 down. Booms sweep our
country periodically, and after each boom
comes panic, riot, suffering and poverty
that sffiiCt our people worse than any
plague could possibly sfflict them. /
prsCticed law a short time in Omaha,
Neb, and the chamber OF commerce Of
that city boldly declares that in ten
years 1000 fortunes were made in real
estate speculation. Yes, but who pays
the piperH The part Of the population
who either own no land or who own but
hcmes and perhaps small gardens. All
these fortunes are forced contributions,
legal of course, from the many for the
benefit Of the few. Omaha is a repre-
sentative American city You have your
own Kansas City, you know OF Denver,
Pueblo, Salt Lake, Los Angeles and the
other cities North and South, and Of the
booms and Of the fortunes made in those
booms. We have booms here in New
York, but they are not 80 Fiotous as
in the West and they attract less at
tention because the city Is large ard the
advances take place in certain localities
where trade centers are developing OF one
instance only need I write. Before the
panic Of 1884 one Of the Astor buildings
on Wall street was rented to bankers,
brokers and others. The leases expired
on the 1st of May and the Office rent of
one firm was raised from So, 800 per an
mum to $4,000, and thsre we're q few
hundred Offices Of the same kind. No
leases for more than q year were given
and at the end Of the first year the build
ing was torn down and new one erected.
/ was told by person who had the
means Of knowing, that the cost Of the
new building was paid by the tenants of
the old building by the increase Of the
rent added for one year, an instance Of
which l have cited. Not long ago q lot
on Broadway and Pine, 22x67, was sold
for 100000. Calculate this and you
will get an idea what land is worth pe"
square inch on Manhattan island. The
enormous sum of $50 million dollars per
annum is paid for the use Of the bare
land constituting the island as it was
when it sold for $25 This does not in
clude interest on cost OF buildings or on
any improvements Of streets or sewers,
ETC.. but rent for the mere use Of the
lard. Not barrel Of the farmers -four,
not bushel of his wheat, not q pound
Of his pork or beef, nor a bale Of his cot
ton or hay goes across this island, or
comes within a hundred miles Of this
island, on it's way to Europe, but the

AS to corsets, a certain little conbina-

There will pass through Ogden. to-
day on the Union Pacific, novel
passenger in the person of joseph
Sinkinson, a deaf. dumb and blind
man who is en- route for Philadel-
phia, where it is said he has a small
fortune coming.
SinEinson comes from Oakland,
Cal, where for long time he has
been ali inmate of the Adult Home
for the Blind. His mother and sister
live in the City of Brotherly Love.
1t is long trip for a deaf, dumb
and blind man to make, but Sinkinson
appears to be equal to the emergency.
He has a large tag prepared which
VIII give notice to the public of his
condition, so that he will be properly
cared for by the train hands The
unfortunate fellow really expects to
have good time on the trip. He will
bear the following letter:
To Conductors:
''The bearer Of this letter is Joseph
Sinkinson, who is deaf, dumb and
blind. We wish that you would make
his journey over the line as pleasant
as possible and assist him in every
manner. His destination is Philadel-
phia, and it will necessitate a change
at Chicago. Conductor on last divi-
sion will please attend to having him
forwarded on to destination via the
Pennsylvania railroad. Agents will
attend to getting him on board his
right train for his home.
w. L. ACHARD
Sinkinson has a great regard for
his personal appearance and dresses
very neatly. He also wears glasses
and expects to make a favorable i'm
fHa
train. He will travel from Ogden to
Omaha by the Union Pacific and
thence to Chicago by the Northwest
ern, the balance of the journey being
made by the Pennsylvania.
He is fine broom and basket
maker, and can even give men whose
vision is all right points on making
wicker chairs. He was born deaf and
dumb and was stricken blind at the
age of years. Some few years ago
he was supporting his aged mother
at Santa Cruz by his work He is the
most careful man about his money.
1t is almost impossible to cheat him
out of a cent. He can tell a counter
felt the instant it touches his hand.
He has made some little money at the
institution by working in the shop.
It has all been arranged so that he
will be cared for along the divisions.
II a cOuuucIOI uOeS not happen 10
overlook him at the end of a division
he will be all right and reach his
destination on schedule time. He has
no fear but the trip will be a source
of pleasure to him in every regard
Sinkinson can make himself under
stood by writing on small slate
which he carries. He has two ways
of getting information from others.
He can understand the sign language
by holding the hands of the party
talking. Then, again, he can under
stand when a person writes on the
palm of his hand with a pencil. His
sense of touch is very acute. The
slightest touch on the palm of the
hand, in the shape of a letter will be
instantly understood by Sinkinson.
He has fear of being robbed, so he
will carry just enough money to meet
incidental expenses on the journey.

CnsTA OF A CREAMERY.

Hoard's Dairyman says it is not practi-
cable to start creamery with less than
the milk of about 300 cows guaranteed.
There is very considerable fixed expense
in the way of outfit and labor which
counts up about the same whether one
does a small or a large business. When
steam IS up there is but trif1ing difference
in the cost of separating the cream from
8 900 pounds of milk, or from 600 pounds.
And the same principle runs through all
the work. It does make very material
difference, however. whether the daily ex-
penses are apportioned to 1a0 pounds of
butter or TO 800 pounds. Whether the
cheap feed and the extra price mentioned
will suffice to overbalance these ccnSidera-
tons is a problem for each man TO deter
mine for himself. If everything was cut
down to the lowest terms, with no pro-
vision for the enlarged capacity, the olft-
fit for such a creamery could probably he
purchased from first hands for about
81 OO0 which would be only $500 to $500 less
than the cost of an outfit with more than
double its capacity.

The Odd Fellows were active during
the week. The subordinate lodges held
their ordinary meetings, which were
all interesting and well attended. De-
gree work was done n most of the
lodges, and in all applications were
received from parties wishing to join
the ranks.
The higher branches OF the order,
the encampments and the cantons, are
doing good work and keeping up their
end satisfactorily.
The Rebekahs are active as usual
and doing works of charity with d
willing hand.

The past week was fairly good one
among the fraternal orders. The
meetings were well attended and fair
amount of business of interest was
transacted. The summer season, how
ever. is now fairly entered upon and
it may be expected that business VIII
not be as active as usual, at'least for
a time. The Masons will probably take
a recess for two months, and the other
orders, although not formally adjourn
ing, will not do a great deal of work.
