THE AMERICAN PLow.

An Improved implement Needed on the
Prairies.
Secretary Morton declares that the piow
used by the American farmer is a humbug
and an enemy to fertility. Said the secretary
to correspondent Of the Chicago Record:
I'VE have improved our pows less than
any other implement man uses. The plow
used in Nebraska and other stoneless soils
lmpacks every furrow II passes over and rem
ders IL as impervious to rainfall as possible.
The draft of a plow Is downward to such an
extent that the full force OF the teams
strength is exhausted In pressing the bottom
of the furrow into a polished trough for the
conducton OF rain down the side hills. We
must have some method of tillage which shall
stir up the soil and subsoi to the depth OK
eighteen inches and more. II Il were possl-
bic to loosen the soil and subsoll down for
three feet all over the state OF Nebraska, we
could then, with an annual rainfall OF twenty
inches make abundant and profitable crops.
Until deep plowing-through subsoil tillage--
becomes universal in that commonwealth
there will be- year In and year out, no GER
tanty of remunerative crops
prof. Shaler of Harvard estimates that
the present inefficient and ill-resulting meth
DDS OF plowing, especially upon undulating
lands, cost the farmers OF the United States
$50 square miles of soil each year by erosion.
Everywhere In Nebraska where torrential
| ralnfalls are so frequent the side hills mutely
verify Prof. Shaler's theory as to the annual
waste Of washed lands.
"This Is a matter OF such vast Importance

University of Nebraska to bring ID before

The history of gold mining in California.

instances where abandoned claims have SUBJ

shafts sunk as far as capital would permit

fortunate capitalists.
The stories told about such experiences In
the Comstock and other famous mines are
as household words in mining circles, and
there are occasional anecdotes in connection
with less historical enterprises. One story
relates to the casual visit of John Jillson to
Siskiyou county years ago in search Of a
recreant debtor who owed him $500.
Times were hard and Jillson whe he found
his man, accepted 5000 ION account and
started home again.
What is land worth here?" asked Jillson.

DECISION EXPECTED SOON
Oakland Water Front Case Now Under
Amusement by the Supreme Court
Some NICE POINTS OF LAW INVOLVE Q
Future of the City OF Oakland Largely
Dependent Upon the Outcome of tho
Case--RaiIrond Company Claims
Its Title Is Perfect.

WASHINGTON, March 17.--There are
reasons for believing that the supreme court
will soon render its opinion in the oakland
Cal, water front case. The title of this
suit is the state of California against the
Southern Pacific Railroad company, and the
title indicates the two principal parties to
the contest, though the city of Oakland has
also been permitted to appear in 1t, for the
protection OF its interests. The case In
wolves the title to about 5000 acres of land,
supposed. with its improvements, to be worth
several million dollars, and its adjudication
will involve several nice points OF law, among
which will be the right Of a state to dispose
of its domain except for public uses and
for city to sell property acquired from a
state on trust, and also possibly some con-
struction of the terms OF the original grant of
the land embraced in the state of California
TO the United States by Mexico. When the
town of Oakland was incorporated the entire
water front was granted to the town, and 1t
was afterward sold or leased ut is a question
Of dispute which, to one Horace w. Carpen-
tier, on condition that he build wharves. and
this he did, afterwards selling the water
front to the Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany, which now occupies the land, and. 1t
is represented by the state. refuses TO allow
its use to any one else. The effort on the
part of the state and the city is to have this
title declared void. The railroad company
maintains the validity OF its title and also
sets up that there was an amicable settle
ment of this entire question between the
railroad people and the city in 1864. Re
ferring to this statement, Senator Stewart
who appears for the company, says 1t was en-
| tirely satisfactory to the people of Oakland at
| the time land remained so until the wave OF
sand lot politics swept over the state and
| filled the offices of the municipality with per-
