try. We have several classev Of lands
here. but the two principal kinds sse The
upper or wheat lands. which have an ele-
vatlon Of shout thirty feet above the.
bottom or fruit and vegetable lands. Tho
frst class mentioned 10 usually good
wheat land. Wheat here runs from ten
TO Afty bushels per acre, according to the
quality of the land and the kind of farm
ing 1t gets. The bottom lands are quite
productive and when we'll tended give
good results. The fruit industry u re-

market In the surrounding oountry-Non-
taus, Idaho, northern Washington. and
British Columbia, where there are many
mining camps and good-sized towns We
also ship good deal to Minneapolis. St.
Paul. Chicago, and even ~ New York
and Boston. for We can raise the prune
successfully. which is staple food. and
they do not grow SUCCESSFULLY east OF the
Rockies. There were shipped during tho
past season from Walla .Walls 800 car
loads Of fruit. We claim that for good
winter apples, prunes and pears this
country cannot be beaten. and they oil
return q good profit. We also rslse .
good many cherries. which are profitable.
have known them to turn OF over 5000

Ing, will make good living for family
Of five, or even more. It's worth more
than section of land IN some of the
states east Of the Rockies. We set out
orchards on these lands, and then set
strawberries among the trees. which do
nicely until the trees begin to bear. A
person who wants to raise wheat will
fad excellent land for that purpose here,
and it is easily fsrmed and usually pro-
duees well. We have large number OF
rich mines In this part Of the northwest.
They produce much wealth, and q. share
Of IL Is left here with the farmers. Veg

He says the serpent was not less
than 30 feet long and from ten inches to
a foot in diameter. The next day the
cattleman and several of his neighbors
armed with Winchesters went in
search of the reDtile. 1t had not
entered the trail from the bottom.
They found mass of dislodged
rock and earth. marking the point at
which II had come down into the can
yon from its precipftous side. The
hunters followed along the way OF the
snake, clearly marked by the lately
displaced boulders. At one point there
was level place in which a wash had
been formed. There they could easily
get a fair idea of the huge bulk of the
serpent, for there was a deep scar in
the wet sand made by a dragging OBJ
ject which must have been at least ten
inches in diameter. The snake passed
out of the trail at a point where the
rocks shelved back The hunters
climbed after it and followed 1t 10
deep descent fringed with a dense
growth of low bushes. They stopped on
the edge and held a council of war,
reaching the conclusion that they were
now in the snakes territoT-E, where ne
would have a decided advantage in
case he should be overtaken. Their re-
treat would be impeded by the bushes,
which would also interfere with accur-
aey of aim in the event that they
should stop to make a fight. And then
night was coming on, when the sport or
serpent stalking loses more than half
its charm

Protection for Stove Polish.

Helena Independent: Congressman
stove Polish" Morse is a typical pro-
tectienist; typical of the men who de-
mand that others be taxed for their
benefit, of the men who demand special
privileges by which they can have the
power to make consumers pay more
for service or products than they are
worth. In South Dakota are rich de-
posts of plum bago, which is used in
large amounts in the manufacture OF
Mr.. MoFse's stove polish. AT present
Morse gets mis- plumhago from Ceylon,
ard he demands that plumbago he kept
on the free list. but-that his stove pol
ish be protected from the ''pauper pol
ishes'' made in Eurcae.
Senator Pettisrew, another protection
statesman, demands that plumbago he
taxed IS per cent, so that the South
Dakota deposits shall be protected
Morse does not wish to pay the 40 per
cent duty, so he opposes Pettigrew S
demand. So it goes with them all. The
typical protectionist is both a free
trader and a protectionist when 1t is
to his interest to be both.
