HOW THE NICARAGUA CANAL
SHOULD BE BUILT.

A writer in Scribner's says. that as
% the Nicaragua canal, 1t would
certainly be gratifying to national
bride to have Americans succeed
where the French have made such a
disastrous failure. Without discuss
ing the questions of commercial or
military necessity three things are
worth considering:
First: That If the United States
builds this canal, they should own the
uerritory through which IL passes, by
purchase outright from Nicaragua.
Perhaps here is use for some OF the
silver that is boarded in our treasury.
Seconds That there should be no
Understanding the cost. All the
various contingent items, so foolishly
overlooked i'm the instances quoted,
should be literally provided for.
Lastly: The United States should
make it a free canal, with no tolls
except sufficient for maintenance, and
open to all nations both In peace and
war. This should be her gift TO the
world.
Looked at in this generous way, we
need not consider the question of the
number of vessels that would pass
through it, or the tolls they could
pay. We do say that the amount Of
commerce that passes the Suez canal,
and would pass the Nicaragua canal,
is insignificant in proportion to the
domestic commerce of the lakes.
The amount Of freight passing
through the Detroit river last year is
more than double that which would
pass both Isthmian canals, and it is
Increasing much faster than that
would do.
The wealth of the Orient appeals
to the imagination; but the more
prosaic products Of our own land-the
grain, the lumber, the ores, the coal,
and the myriads Of manufactured
articles which float down the great
lakes, and through the rich valleys OF
central New York, far exceed In i'm
pOrtance and in value.

Africa, they have increased their
production also very largely. From
1863 to 1873, about 25,000 bales we're
exported from Constantinople yearly
From 1873 to 1888, about $4,000 bales
was the average, while from 1883 TO
1893, it was about 10000 bales. Since
1893, the exports have averaged A.
600 bales yearly. The bales from
Turkey weight 10 pounds each.
Uses of Mohair.- Mohair has al
ways been considered a tickle article.
When it is in demand, it suddenly
rises from 10 TO 30 per cent; when, on
the other hand, trade is quiet, it is
difficult to sell at almost any price.
Up to the end of 1875 the price of mo-
hair ruled between 80 cents and 81
cents per pound. This was the time
when the fashion for ladies' dress
goods ran on bright fabrics, of which
"glaces" made from mohair were an
important class. Soon after that time,
fashion changed to soft goods made
from merino woods, and although dur
ing the past twenty years several at
tempts have been made to introduce
mohair goods, they have never been
i'm fashion until the present time.
This period from 1875 to 1895 has been
a most trying one for mohair spinners
and manufacturers, and the price
has been considerably lower than was
ever known.
Besides being used largely for dress
goods i'm the old days, and also now
again, the principal use of mohair is
for the two-fold yarns for braids and
for plush; for which purposes it is
peculiarly suitable. There is no fibre
that wears so well as mohair in the
form of either braid or plush. Fine
mohair braids were formerly largely
used for the edges Of mems coats and
vests, but since the sewing machine
has come so generally into use, thus
neater edges TO be made,
these fine braids do not seem to be re-
quired, and that portion Of the trade
has been the most depressed for a
lumber of years. When the price
vas so low, the article was used for a
number of purposes for which it is
now too dear. There is some used in
ohe wooden trade for mantle cloths.
A large proportion Of the mohair
yarns spun in the Bradford district,
specially two-folds, goes TO Germany
md France; but very little raw mate
rial is manipulated abroad, and the
appears to be that the
climate of England is more suitable
than that of any other for the comb
ing and spinning of mohair.

HOW THEY GET LAND.
Bower Family Takes Up 5000 Acres
Under the Homestead Act

Bower Family Takes Up 300 Acres
Under the Homestead Act
Fargo, n. D., June 11.-An example
of how some of the recent Dunkard
immigrants from Indiana and ILLINOIS
are becoming landed proprietors ON a
large scale is given in the family OF
Elder Bower, of Wabash county, In
diana. who was one of the arrivals IN
this state this spring. The elder Is
blessed with a family of nine grown
sons and daughters.
He came with the first of the Dun
kard parties of the season, and found
n locality where there were number
of claims untaken, though of good
wheat land, and fairly near a rail-
way and a market. Bower and each
of the children selected a quarter sec
ton of land-160 acres-and home
steaded it, and the father has his eye
on six quarters more than he is now
negotiating for on the crop payment
plan. This will give the family 1850
acres. almost every acre of which is
suitable for immediate cultivation.
Four of the sons are engaged
to be married to young women
of Indiana, and the weddings
have all been postponed Till
such time as the brides elect can come
out to North Dakota and select claims
for themselves, which they have the
right to do while they are unmarried.
This will give the various branches
of the Bower household land equal to
a young principality, and the entire
cost will be the filing fees of the Unit
ed States land Office-$14 for each $50
acres.
Bower lived on a rented farm in In
diana, and it was of small size.
