Prosperity for Pensioners.

The Nashville Saa is of the opin- ion that Secretary Bliss report con firms the worst fears exci ted by Mr MeKinleyas call for "more liberal pensions. The best guide to what is coming is to bo found in what wo have had in tho past:
 The last year of Cleveland's
 first term the pension
 appropriation was 89,000, 900 Harrison's first year 106, 500, 900 Harrison's second year 118, 800, 000 Harrison's third year Al ,000, GOO Harrison's fourth year 158, 900, GOO Increase under the last
 Republican admins.
 tration S 69 GOO GOO The New York World, in comment ing epon the Bliss report, gives some interesting data. It declares that athe net decrease in CleVe- lands second term was SIS, 250, 000. There was , slight increase in the last fiscal year, all of it in the four months after the inauguration Of Mckinley.
 ''The number now on the pension rolls is 976, ,0t4, and even Mir, Bliss owns up 10 certain increase of about 100000 He takese the rosy view that this addition will add only $7, GOO, 900 to the annual appropria- amtion. But q conservative calcula-
 n shows that the increase will be Dshearer 10000, O00
 ''Unlessl there is an entire change of policy the pension appropriation for McKinley's last year will be about sl6o, GOO, GOO.
 Tn 1866 the pension appropria tion was a13, 800, GOO; in 1876, $28, 25O, 900; in 1880, $64, 800, 900; in 1896, s13s, 250, GOO. That is, it has more than doubled in each .decade since the close Of the war. .

NEWS LAND COMMENT.


 Thes Little Rock Democrat says: ."Hon. Wm. c. Whipple, register of the United States land office in this city, has been officially notified that by recent ruling of the department Of interior, section 6 of act of March P, 1889, is now so construed as to permit any one who has made entry at any time on less than l60 acres and has since made final proof oH- same, to make an adSitionai entry of such an amount of land, as when -SSddew to the original entry, will make 160 acres. There are many in this district who will be benefited by this ruling, and they should avail themselves of this opportunity. to get the full 160 acres allowed them by the government. 1t is desired by MT. Whipple that this statement be given wide publicity, to the end that those who are entitled to make additional entries may be appraised of the fact.

SOME NEW THINGS.
A Big Potato Crop and a Fair Wheat
Crop Near Valley CITY.

w. w. Howe, at one time a Vesta
township farmer, but afterwards a
resident Of Springfield, and now
resident of Valley City, N. D., writes
few of his observations in that coun-
try for The GAZETTE. He thinks that
the country through which he trav-
ersed in North Dakota, from the Red
River to the Cheyenne, is very beauti-
full and very productive.
Il was surprised to see most all
kinds Of garden stuff raised here in
abundance. The potato crop is very
large and the potatoes are the finest 1
ever saw. The potato crop will aver
age 500 bushels per acre. Wheat is
not so good, owing to the wet weather
preventing it from filling out good.
The wheat all grades No. l, however.
Wheat will average about 16 bushels
per acre. There are hundreds of acres
yet in the shock. The farmers here
are very slack in cleaning up after the
threshing machines. Two girls made
500 in three weeks cleaning up wheat
after the settings, and I think man
could clean up 5000 in one fall by
cleaning up after machines.
VALLEY City is the county seat of
Barnes county and has population
of over 1900 people. It has Is dry
goods and clothing stores with groc-
cries attached. It has nine hotels,
nine churches, five lumber yards, four
drug stores, a restaurant, four livery
stables, four hardware stores. The
State Normal school is located here.
The city has very beautiful park and
very nice lot of timber along the riv-
or. 1t is very beautiful city, but it
seems as though all necessaries are
very much higher than they are in
Redwood Falls.
"Wages are higher, however. For
bucking straw from the machine 81
per day is being paid. For feeding
machine So per day is the price, and
pitchers get from 50 to 1925 per day.
The boys with the many threshing
machines in this neighborhood seem
to have plenty of money"

ROADS OF ANCIENT DAYS.

Constructed in the Glacial Period and
Unearthed in Amboy, o.
Considerable interest has been oc-
casioned among the people Of Ash
tabula, o., and particularly among
geologfsts, by the discovery of pc
culiarly constructed roadway in the
Lake Shore company's gravel pit at
Amboy, seven miles east of Ashtabula-
The remarkable find has the appear
ance of having been a corduroy road,
made of small cedar trees, and it was
nnearthed 80 feet below the surface OF
the ground. The wood is in a perfect
state Of preservation. Over 20 feet OF
this road has been uncovered. It was
laid on hard clay and was covered by a
thick vein of gravel.
Prof. Carl Wright, teacher of geology
in Oberlin university, visited the gravel
pit and secured pieces of the wood,
which he examined. He gives it as his
opinion that the wood had been where
it was found since the glacial epoch, and
that it has retained it's natural condi.
ton several thousand years. A piece
of mastodon's tusk, two feet long, was
unearthed. It is also almost perfectly
preserved, the ivory being a natural
color after the dirt was removed.
