HE Park River Gazette Witness pub
fishes a criticism of the value Of lands
in the state, as taken from the last re.
port of the state board of equalization,
and the article is reproduced by Editor
Kellogg of the jamestown Alert. Some
excerpts from the article are as follows:
The number of acres assessed and equal
lied III Mcintosh, one of the poor, sparsely
populated counties, is tabulated as 80, 1854
acres, valued at $66, 240. The METROPOLITAN
county of Cass--oldest settled and mo
populous in the ~state-hgures 6,O62 acres.
$$25,999; Walsh 1896 acres, Sal 1888; Trail
2,SO5 acres, $13,960-three rich valley
counties. The total value of structures
and improvements on farm lands in Walsh
county is given at 81, $50; in Grand Forks.
1856: in Cass. S4,2S5. Single farms in
each county possess buildings worth more
money. The highest total value of i'm
provements in U~nitediStates lands is re-
turned from Wells county, 50, 564; the next
highest is Oliver, with S17,OS2;; in Walsh
Ss4,S53;; in Ransom, $1,559.
1t is peculiar that two papers which
should be we'll informed, should fall into
so grlevous errors as these. If the editors
Of the two papers will refer again to the
record OF proceedings they will discover
that no assessment of real property was
made this year, and that the figures
which they quote as total values of land
in the state, represent merely the addi-
tons to taxable real property which have
been made since last year. Thus, 3O,564
acres have been added to the area of tax
able land in Mcintosh county, as against
6,O72 acres added to Cass. In Walsh.
$3.50 represents, not the total value of
structures and improvements on farm
lands, but instead, the valueEof struc-
lures on lands which have been added tn
the tag list since last year, andrso with
the other figures which are cited. The
total real property value of the state, ex-
elusive of these additions, remains the
same as last year, and the Gazette-W Wit
ness and the Alert will note, if tney refer
to the abstract of value for that year,
hat Cass county returns 1,05l,380 acres
of land at a total value of ST, ,122, as
against 1877, 1872 acres in Mcintosh at a
total value of s326,63 They will note,
also, that the total value of structures
and improvements in Walsh county is
$227,1l7, in Grand Forks s248,9S5, and
in Cass s408,27O. The error of the two
papers is SO apparent that it seems pecu-
liar they have fallen into it, and it is
doubtful if Editor Kellogg read the
article any more closely than was neces-
sary to see it was 'agin' tn government"
or he would not have republished it.

elevation, the mind of Mr.. Sullivan may
be called to the witness stand, in evil
dence; likewise the minds Of Mr.. Cor
bett, Mr.. Fitzsimmons, Mr.. Mitchell,
and a host of others. With the galaxy
of inte]lects here represented as living
witnesses of the nobility of intellect
which is achieved through the refining
and elevating influences of the prize
r ng, argument is superfluous. Every
time the mouth of one of the disciples of
! the Su%llivanesque in social and moral
culture is opened, the glazing truth of
MI. Sullivan's proposition is painfully
apparent.
So we desire to present for the careful
consideration Of the public. the Sullivan
esque plan for the moral elevation of the
nation. AS Mr.. Sullivan so ardently
and truthfully says, "Give us a nation
of ist.fghters and we have a nation of
men," To use the pure and cultured
English of Mr.. Sullivan, himself, "Bully
fer John L" @
Let these namby-pamby governors
consider the noble mind which belongs
to MI. Sullivan, as they might the lilies
of the field, and wonder how it grew.
Has it reached it's tropical luxuriance
through the degrading influences of
school books aud honest labor? Not
much. It is a living, breathing tribute
to a careful devotion to the 'ethics Of
2ugilism, and the right, scientific use Of
the fists" And where, we ask, among
all the governors of all the states of all
the union have w such a mind as Mr..
Sullivan's?

NORTH DAKOTA, this year raised one of
the biggest crops of wheat in her history,
remarks the Minneapolis Tribune. She
has also an immense yield of oats and
other small grains. The wheat is bring
ing in very little money, but the farmers
experience has shown him that wheat,
after all, take it one year with another,
is as profitable as any crop. Oats are
selling at 10 cents a bushel, and this is
practically giving them away. In some
fields potatoes are rotting in the ground,
because it does not pay to dig them.
Horse raising was profitable, but owing
to the introduction of the trolley car,
the bicycle and other causes, a span of
heavy horses which used to sell for 5000
will now fetch hardly half that amount,
while out in Montana and Oregon they
are slaughtering fine young horses for
meat. Under the Mckinley tariff wool
growing was profitable business, and
some North Dakota farmers went into
it quite extensively, but the democratic
tariff bill has killed millions of sheep,
and forced thousands of thrifty shep-
herds to some other calling. or to the
woods. So it will be seen that the
farmer is not entirely at fault for stick
ing to wheat raising with such peril.

our southern Minnesota farmers have
found it their mainstay during the hard
times. Horses have probably seer their

future tariff legislation. II the republi.

WHAT WILL 1T BRING lisp

Congress will convene again ere many
Moons There are several things which
need to be done, and which can be done
by that body alone. It remains to be
seen whether or not congress will attend
to them. The last congress managed to
do almost everything it should not have
done, and to leave undone everything it
should have done. Its labors are re-
presented in a vast assortment of heated
speeches, and a collection,,of vicious leg
islatlon which is remarkable for its in
efficiency and uselessness.
With the approach of the copgres-
slonal session, come reports of various
matters which are to be brought up for
consideration. 1t is stated the president
has unearthed the defunct income tax
from Its untimely grave, for post-mortem
purposes. The Cuban matter is another
which will inspire thousands of pages of
printed speeches in the Congressional
Record, all teeming with patriotic fervor
and fiery eloquence. The Venezuelan
imbroglio stands ready, also, to precipl-
tate itself into the arena, and the Mica
raugua canal will furnish its:share of in
terest. Perhaps, too, Queen Lii may be
dragged into the ring, and made to
sprint around a few times to heighten
the enthusiasm. There is no doubt, that
tariff and finance will lend color to the
proceedings, also, and withal a merry
time is in store for the nations legisla.
tors.
It is not too early, therefore, to call to
the attention Of the men who constitute
the two houses of congress, the fact that
the nation expects something of them.
With the achievements of the last con
gress still fresh in our memories, this
statement may seem rash, but it is a
fact, nevertheless. The next congress
needs to do something, in addition to
furnishing amusement for the masses, il
it desires to retain its grip upon the
affections of the American people
These latter manage to get along fairly
we'll unaided, and yet there is 90 ques
ton but that congress can assist them
if it SO wills. But it cannot assist then

gives it reasonable protection, sheep
breeding will once more become profit
able. The lesson to the farmer in the
experience Of recent years is to diversity
his industry as much as possible, and
not put all his eggs into one basket"
Raise some wheat, some other grains and
vegetables, ON sheep, some horses,
and keep a good dairy herd and plenty
of hogs and poultry. The farmers fam
lily can thus live almost entirely off his
farm, and it one of his products happen
to be fetching a good price, he can take
advantage of it. Such Investigation, of
course, takes time, but every farmer
should aim to work into it gradually.

WHEN our prohibition friends opposed

WHEN our prohibition friends opposed
the election of Hon. J. F. Cowan, re.
marks the Devils Lake Inter. Ocean,
they did it because they supposed he
would favor a "wide open policy" on the
part Of the state. In the light of recent
events it seems as if they should give
him credit for doing his full duty in the
enforcement of the law. Mr.. Cowan has
done more to enforce the prohibition law
than any of his predecessors and his
work has been effective.

IT would be a step in the right direc-
tion and one which would entitle the
promoters of the scheme to general APP
probation, if, in addition to enlisting
Sluggers Fitzsimmons and Corbett in
the Chickasaw tribe of Indians, the rest
of the pugi!ists and plug-uglies could be
induced to take the same step. Then
the aggregation could be given a reser-
walton Of sufficient tize to hold them all,
and be shut out from the remainder of
the nation. It would be a little tough
on the Chickasaws, but great relief to
the people at large.

Now that four United States judges
have taken falls out of the Northern Pa
cific road. so to speak, the situation is in
a tangle, which is interesting because of
the confusion Of authority as to the
management of the system. The road
originally had three receivers, Messrs.
Cakes, Payne and Rouse. They resigned
and their designations were accepted by
Judge jenkins at Milwaukee. Judge
Jenkins appointed Messrs. Bigelow and
McHenry to succeed them, and both &C.
copied the trust. They were afterward
confirmed by Judge Sanborn of st. Paul.
This done, the action was then shifted
to Seattle, where Judge Hanford took
a hand in the proceedings. Judge Han.
ford, however, did not work in harmony
with the other judges. He had sum-
moned the3previous;receivers to explain
to him, and, first of all, he declined to
accept their designations. He would not
allow them to resign, but removed them.
Then he appointed a man of his own,
and Receiver Burleigh represents that
particular court. In the meantime,
Judge Lacomb of New York has refused
TO consider the resignation of the orig
inal receivers and has entered an order
which ties up considerable funds and
keeps them from the hands of the other
receivers. The situation, then, is that
Mr.. Burleigh is receiver for so much of
the property as lies in Washington.
Messrs. Bigelow and McHenry are in
control of so much of the property as
lies in Minnesota, Wisconsin and North
Dakota, while the others are supposed
to have Jurisdiction over such of the
property, movable, as may be found in
New York. In the meantime, Montana
and Idaho have not been provided for,
and there is no telling whose control
they are under. If this situation Is con-
tinued, it will be necessary for Mr. Bur
leigh to have a complete set of officers,
traffic and otherwise, for the conduct of
his portion Of the road, and the
from the Montana aud Idaho sections
will have to be laid aside without being
used, while the general offices at the
other end of the line will have to be pro.
vided with the most intricate system of
accounts that ever worried a general
auditor.

AN encouraging view of the condition

WOODEN manufacturers are certai MY
not in that prosperous condition that
was promised them as soon as they could
ecure free wool. The enormous demand
for goods Immediately upon the passage
Of the Wilson bill created such an amount
of work that it kept all mills busy, both
in this country and England. Both there
and here factories have been running
steadily and without interruption. Tho
urgent demand for goods of wooden lex.
ture has been supplied, and stocks have
been replenished to a certain extent,
though there has been no buying as
freely as occurred in 1892. The first and
most serious competition felt from
abroad was in the worsted trades, the
wooden manufacturer managing to hold
his own. But he has not, as a general
thing, orders enough in hand to carry
his looms through the next few months.
The Textile Manufacturers Journal says:
"The processes of manufacturing require
about four weeks time, and the manu-.
facturer who has covered only about two
months production on spring goods is
not in a very encouraging position, and
a good many are not circumstanced any
better than this. One need only look at
the figures Of importations of goods to
determine the manufacturing situation;
1t does not require deep and penetrating
perceptlve powers to see in these figures
an unsatisfactory condition for the do
nestle manufacturer. If the foreign
manufacturer is supplying a large por-
ton of the news of the market he must
be doing it at the expense of domestic
makers, and this condition will be mani
fest in a short time; the man who can
not see it today must be dull of percep-
ton and comprehension
