Making Special Privileges Pay.
In letter to the Penny Press, Senator
r. F. Pettigrew of South Dakota says:
II shall attack the railway mail SER

brief statement which will contain many
startling facts and figures. They are
receiving eight cents pound for carry
ing the mail, when they can afford to
carsy 1t for cent pound. The New
YORK Genital receives $1,000 mile
simply for carrying the mail from New
York to Buffalo. This sun would pay
five per cent on $6O, 1000 mile, which Is
much more than the road cost, and
therefore the entire investment Of that
railroad ls paid for by the mail service
alone. This is certainly a startling
statement, and the same proportionately
exists on all the great trunk lines. The
fact of the matter Is that by special
privileges the wealth of the country is
going into the hands OF the million
aires"

GREAT SHEEP COUNTRY.
North Dakota Soil Grows What
Sheep Thrive On
Natural Ranges.
Arrangements Being Made for
the State Dairymen's
Convention.
Stutsman County Pathmasters
Named-PreCautiOnS
Against Water.

NJ. f. Greeley OF Garry, ). d., writes
enooursgingly in the Dakota Farmer of
Dakota as sheep country. He says:
Dakota is and always will be great
sheep country. Sheep thrive best
among the mountsins-the famous sheep
walks of the world are among them.
Dakota is a mountain. vast almost
level mountain. The pure air, the nutrl-
tious grasses, the sunshine and the dry,
bracing atmosphere Of the mountains all
are here.
Cattle will thrive here, so will nearly
all other kinds of stock, but the future
great industry of the Dakotas is wool
and mutton production. Here sheep are
bound to 90 their very best with less
care and expense in handling than 10 d.
country not SO perfectly adapted TO
them. Our gr8ssea, roots mud wfadf
even are Owing TO growing IN so u,uct
sunshine. Gryness and pare alr, uCg>
than commouly sweet and nutritious.
\ sheep will eaI almost anything auu
avery hing thai grows upon dry !Gnc,
and nearly all these things grown with
little or no attention. There is more
perfect sheep food grown wild here
today than in almost any other country
on the face OF the earth.
A hog must be supplied with artificial
food requiring labor and other expense.
Weedy hay Is poorly and only partly
eaten by cows and horses, while sheep
eat the weedy part first, and their
pastures are as free from weeds as old
cattle and horse pastures are from grass
We have tried many kinds OF tame
folders for sheep, and today we know of
nothing so rellshed by sheep and that
will make them thrive SO we'll as weed,
upland prsire hay, when put up at the
right time and in the right way. The
sleeps best summer and winter feed is
growing wild and unused today over
more than half Of the Dakotas. Perfect
mutton and perfect Aeeces have been
made on this feed, without the addition
OF pound OF food prepared by man.
In the more eastern portions some
times, aud in some places, the hay crop
is not sufficient for the amount Of stock
that can be carried in the summer. Corn
stalks with or without the corn; oats in
the bundle, and also much millet, and
some Of tie tame grasses is being used,
and to good advantage, but the best
sheep in Dakota to-day are the we'll
acclimated bands kept exclusively on
what they find here growing wild. The
great ranges close by US cannot raise
sraln to finish of their sheep and lambs,
which their over.stocked ranges are
already sending east to be fed, and in
this soon We may find ready home mar
ket for all our surplus coarse grasses
This will soon be one of the best paying
branches Of our business. Which ever
way you look upon 1t, the sheep business
in Dakota is bound to be a permanent
one and paying one.

Legislative Notes.

The new wolf bounty law raises a
revenue by state tax of one-tsnth OF a
mill. The members from the eastern
counties finally agreed to the bill The
bounty IS fixed at $500 scalp, and with
the tax proposed will provide for the
determination OF about 5000 wolves.
The horse and cattle interests to be pro-
tected were valued at $27, 10000.
Ryan's bill for city license Of liquors is
commended generally by friends of q
license law, but the fee Of $500 should be
raised to $1,000.
The state examiner law 10 likely to be
greatly strengthened, and more frequent
examinations OF state bsnks made-at
least five times year.
The impression prevails that the rail-
road bill, which 10 good measure for
the state and is moro bitterly opposed
by the Great Northern than any other
agency, will not get through the senate.
It 10 making show down Of members,
however. II it should pass, 1t will be q
hard measure to repeal and the people
will have gained something.
It's amusing to hear the Grand Forks
Herald ululste these days. 1t lifts it's
high tenor tones into the ambient air,
and the wailful echoes Of its cadencev
sound like the moans of lost soul. The
Herald thought itself IN it wide de
gang" once, too, and was then patient
observer silent on topics it should have
discussed. Now it mourns the deca-
dence OF it's political patriots with
Roger. Hear it:
The Bismarck Tribune is setting lot
of type now, and doing lot OF good-to
the people of the state with its excellent
report Of legislative affairs, and to the
machine with it's adrolt avoidance of any
comment tending to ''let out on that
gang.
Edwards is dong some able work 10
the Fargo Forum against the Mckenzie
HansbrouRh machine gang, but it will
necessarily have little or no effect with
the public. For the public knows that
Edwards Is always the biggest gangster
OF the gang, when he can yet into 1t; and
that he supposed himself in on the
ground floor with the present one when
it was constructed; and that he swore IS
valiantly as anyone in its defense and
abused The Herald for denouncing 1t.
until he found that be had been fooled
aud the promised plunder was not forth
coming.
House Bill No. l2l has been sent to
the senate committee on railroads, and
when it comes back the people are not
likely to recognize it, and probably It
will not even know itself. When Nc
Kenzie and Hansbrough put up their
machine most especial pans we're ia ken
to fix this important committee for just
such important measures as tbis-and
House Bill No. 12l will probably be
fixed plenty.

house ON next Thursday evening
the 18th. inst. Everybody is expect
ed to attend to the end that a fit
ting programme for the day may be

Summit Mil.

Work at the Summit mill contin-
ues and the mill is doing good work,
but bad air in the mine limits the
output of ore.
An air shaft is being put down at
the extreme eastern end of the Yuba.
Work has been going on there for a
month past but another month more
elapse before the tunnel level can
be reached. When that is done
plenty of ore can be taken out to
keep the mill running to its fullest
capacity. In the meantime some of
the slopes are inaccessible from bad
air, and the miners frequently be-
come affected by bad air in other
parts of the mine SO that the extrac-
ton of ore is considerably less than
it should be.
