"Unlsss you have travelled over the state

business you have no ides OF tho extent

been settled in the past few years. Up
in Wells county, We have sold out every
quarter section OF land We had, and
other dealers have had the same expert
ence. The government land Office REQ.
ords will show the extent TO which
government lands have been taken up,
and another year you will see all OF the
government lands settled. The railroad
companies are putting many good set-
tiers into different localities and private
enterprise 10 doing the rest. Many good
settlers have come up overland from
Nebraska and adjoining states, with
money to purchase farming lands. The
advance guard of the Dunkards have
already arrived, and the first of next
month will see the arrival Of train
load. The vote at the past election,
which was admitted not to be q full one,
gives some idea Of the growth Of the
state IN population. and many Of the
settlers Of the past few years are not
voters yet. The vote at the election OF
1898 will be . surprise, and will show
what hes been going on IN the way oi

wheat growing has largely depleted the

conditions have been changed. The
humus end organic matter has been
greatly diminished and the burning Of
wheat stubble has been largely practioed
and much organic matter has been de.
stroyed that would otherwise have

In regions Of low rainfall the blowing of
dry stubble under IL not advantageous,
but methods OF farming must be prac-
tiosd that will hesten decay. Diversified
farming and crop rotation 10 the logical
outcome. Farmers ore realizing this

To RestOck the Lake.

An effort will be made IN Ramsey
county to have Freshwster lake stocked
with fish. When the country was settled
the lake contained plenty of fish and
had it not been for the dry seasons Of
1889 50 it probably would not be neces-
sary to re- stock them. In the dry years
the lakes froze to the bottom and the
fish died. Many were founds on the
banks the succeeding spring. Mr.. Coy
kendall finding one that weighed eiRh-
teen pounds, while fish weighing eight
to twelve pounds were numerous. It is
probable that the government will be
asked to place carp in the lakes, as these
fish thrive best where there are muddy
bottoms.

ter, it does not look as though the break
up would be much behind time this year.
The mean date Of the breakup for the
last fifty years is about April l, although
in some years it has broken up early in
March, and in others late in April. For
the last two years the river has broken
up on March %. The latest breakup on
record was on April 10, in 1S46, and the
earliest March 16, in 1879. In 1881, the
year Of the big food 1t broke up on
March 81, and in 1887, another food
year, it broke up on March 10.
The breakup was complete on the
pralries Monday. The snow settled, be-
came soft and all travel by team was sus-
pended. The roads we're impossible
and it was sll that horses could do to
vallow through without pulling any
kind Of sleigh. The water 10 oil on
the prairie and mono Of it has yet begun
10 flow through the rsvines and coulees
into the river. The frost is coming out
nicely and the soil is absorbing large
share OF the water. The drifts 10 the
rsvines and in the river itself do not
show the effects Of the RAIN and warm
weather to any great extent. Little
water has gathered on the ice IN the
river bed.
The bitches each side OF railroad track
are beginning to fill and the section
crews are fully employed opening up
drains, culverts-pipe and pi)e-and pro-
tecting the track. A train load Of ciL-
ders was. sert east OF the city Tuesday to
protect weak track, but SO far everything
seems to be- in good order though the
new fill at Lake Eckelson ls causing
some anxiety. The Valley train wss
held at Oakes Monday night on account
of the growing quantities of water along
the track and a. measure Of precsution
against possible washour.
There are a number OF important
bridges in the county which the COM
m,ssloners are looking after, to prevent
any possible damage from high water
this spring. The bridges along the Jim
river are the ones where timely precsu-
tions may be needed. At the head Of
Jim lake 10 long pile bridge, old and
needing strengthening in case of high
water. Commissioner Clark has sent
men and tools to clear away the ice from
the piles to prevent heavlng. This
bridge 10 known as the Foster bridge and
should it be taken out this spring, it
would not pay to put up temporary
wooden structure. The people Of that
part Of the county would like an iron
bridge IN its place, if new one should
be needed. It Is said the 500 company
fear for the safety Of the long pile
bridge across the head Of Arrowwood
lake, q few miles north Of the county
bridge. The Kurtz county bridge, lower
down. ,s also being looked after, al
though it is in better shape than the
Foster structure.
It is said fears are entertained for the
bridges at Montpelier, and other points
along the river.

FARMERS CONVICTED.
Seven White Farmers of Ro-
lette County Sent Up for
Cutting Timber.

Deputy U. g. Marshsls Schindler
and Hanna, arrived Monday from Bis
marck, with party Of witnesses and
seven white residents Of the Turtle
mountain country who where convicted
Of cutting timbsr on government land.
The court sentenced them to a fne Of
$50 each and three months confine-
ment in Jail. They will be taken to
Rolette county 70 serve the sentence.
The men plead guilty Of the offense.
They are all farmers of that vicinity.
In sentencing the nine Rolette county
farmers for cutting timber on govern
ment land, Judge Amidon at the close Of
the Bismarck term, said the law must
be respected and he hoped the example
would be sufficient to prevent any fur
ther depradstions.
Three months in Jail and $50 fine
were the sentences.
The trail Of the case against August
Walters was completed and he was
found guilty Of the ofense charged
taking from the mail check intended
for another person Of the same name and
converting it to his own use. He was
sentenced to two years and two months
Imprisonment at Sioux Falls.
In the case agsinst Floyd Hevener, for
stealing whisky from barrel in rail-
road company's possession. the court
fined the defendant 1910. 20 to stand
committed to Jail until paid. Hevener
is also wanted at Devils Lake for steal
ing whiskey from the Great Northern
depot, and held under bonds to answer
that charge there.
Charley White, Indian interpreter at
Fort Totten, who plead guilty to intro
ducinR and selling liquor on the reserva-
ton was sentenced to one year and one
day at Sioux Falls. This is also a severe
sentence in comparison with some that
have been passed for the same offense,
but the Judge holds that the crime is q
grave one, as it appears that other
crimes have resulted from the intoxica-
tion of the Indians who are able to get
liquor. and be proposes to discourage
this traffic.
In the case against Mrs. Annie Lind
berg, the Salvation Army woman, who
plead guilty to a charge of sending an
obscene letter through the mails, sem
tence was suspended to await the out
come of the case which has bsen brought
against her husband at Fargo. She
accuses him OF an attempt to poison her,

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The following has been issued by
tile Nevada section of the weather
bureau for the week ending Monday
July IL, 1897:
The first half OF tie past week was
generally too cool for the satisfactory
growth of crops. but the latter half
was tho beginning Of a warm period.
which las already been of marked
benefit to all crops. Light frosts &C
CURED in localities in Humboldt,
Lyon and Ormsby counties, while In
e ko potato vines we're killed in some
places. Clear weather prevailed
throughout the week.
The week has been especially fav-
orable for haying in all parts Of the
State, on account of the absence OF
showers and high winds. Alfalfa
has all been cut, and the first crop
wis t1ted and saved in good eohdi
ton. The crop in Elko was cut a
little short by the June frosts, but as
rule 1t was good and very heavy In
some localities. Timothy is nearing
the harvesting stage in Ormsby and
.Washoe counties.
In Elko county wheat and barley
are just heading, and will soon be in
the milk, the stage at which it ID
liable to injury from frost, but the
warm period which began during the
week will likely place them out of
danger. Oats and barley generally
show some Improvement.
New potatoes are plentiful. Apples
and peaches irregular; abundant in
some localities, failure in others
Currants are plentiful and raspber

STORY OF A COLOR FAD.
How the erase for LiIae HAA Its Birth

How the erase for Line HAA tn birth
IN Vienna.
Many years ago, in the days OF her
radiant beauty, her imperial majesty,
Empress Elizabeth, Of Austria, sat for
her portrait to 'Schrotzberg, fashion
able Viennese artist. The picture, says
Munseys, was painted at the request Of
the empress royal cousin, Ludwig II.
OF Bavaria, and was destined to grace
the walls of his gallery of beautiful
women in Munich. The artist recog-
nized the Importance of his commits
sion, and gave to the canvas all the skill
of his genius, which, in the matter of
color, had no equal In Germany. The
robe of the empress was of imperial
purple, of so marvellous tint and SO
wonderfully painted that it dimmed
even the charm of tho sovereign lady's
matchless beauty. Artists tried in
vain to initiate it, pens to describe it,
and in time it came to be known as the
Historical lilac"
In the bathrooms OF Vienna q tint
bearing the name of Kaiserilla is in
vogue, which is as near the shade of
purple in which Schrotzberg clothed his
beautiful empress As looms and pig
ments can make it. In this country lilac
has long been considered a color for
the middle-aged women, but now young
girls are taking great fancy to it, and
the coming summer we are told will see
it a reigning tint. Max Nordeau may
be right In the theory that devotion to
violet is one of the surest signs of de-
generacy, but the stylish woman of to-
day would much prefer to be called
degenerate" than "unstylish."

In the reports of the Industrial union
mention is made of hew process OF
floor mosaic, says the Yale Scientific
Monthly. Small particles of wood, ne,
sawdust, wood -four and fine shhvings,'
are treated first with q mixture Of shell
lac ard'alcohol, and then with cement
made of curd and Stacked lime. While
this mixture is still damp, it is put into
hot molds of the desired shape and size,
md placed under pressure. The joirSt
action OF the heat and pressure unite
the wood most thoroughly with both
the shellac and the cement. After d few
minutes the compound is taken out OF
le,molds when Il Is thoroughly coolel
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances, especially
OF an oily nature, be present, as It would
prevent the cement from being alb
sorbed Into the pores of the wood. In
making different colored mosaic the
natural color Of the woods used is taken
into consideration, then the wood Itself
is dyed, and lastly dyes dissolved In
alcohol nre mixed with the shellac. The
process is then performed as before
In spite Of its hardness this compound
possesses nll the perfection of wood, 40
that it is particularly well adapted FOL
use us floor covering in living rooms
and private dwellings. An important
advantage over ail other processes Of
manufacturing mosaic floors fs that II
