In order to obviate the freezing of the
Baltic canal, thus keeping it open for
navigation as long as possible, says Die
Vedette, the authorities tried to replace
the fresh water of the canal by salt
water. This could only be done from
the bay of Kiel, where the water con-
talns on an average \ or q per cent
OF salt, while at the other end of the
canal, in the lower Elbe, the percent
age is about one-half per cent only, and
the level there is far more affected by
the tidal movement than in the bay OF
kleL Now, by leaving open a sluice
near Brunsbuttel during low tide, the
salt water, entering from the Baltic
end, was caused to gradually expel the
fresh water through the other end OF
The canal, and at the present time, both
In the canal itself and in the lakes
through which it flows, the fresh water

receipt of the following interesting
letter from d. p Ward, for man,
Years resident of Sioux Falls:
San Jose, Cal, Dec. 25.--To the Edi
tor of the Argus-Leader: AS | have
passed many happy Christmas days in
your excellent state thought would
write few words of greeting to the
readers of your enterprising Journal
1t hardly seems possible that it is
over fifteen months since we left South
Dakota. My opportunities for seeing
California at all times of the year have
| been excellent. | have travelled over
eighteen thousand miles and have been
in forty-tive of the fifty-seven counties
of the state. You can get any kind of
climate in the state you want from the
snow-capped mountains of Shasta coun-
ty to the burning deserts of Sanbarna-
din county.
Ion can get farm land from $500 per
acre to that which is good only to hold
the world together. Santa Clara val
ley, of which San Jose in the center. is
one of the richest and finest places in
the state. This county has shipped
about 80. 000.0OO pounds of prunes this
year, being nearly two thirds the en-
tire crop of the state.
organized q Sunday school few
days ago in the vicinity of Mount Ham
ilton, twenty five miles east of here.
The view overlooking the valley is one
of the finest eyer saw in my life. To
see it once is never to forget it. The
temperature in the state in the sum
mer is very uneven. In the same aft
ernoon when riding on a train you will
be roasted and then need an overcoat.
at this season of the year the climate
is delightful. The fields are green,
grass six inches high, flowers bloom
ing outdoors on every hand.
Since coming TO this state 7 have or
ganized twenty Sunday schools and
find the country districts very destitute
of religious services. The past year
has been happy and I trust useful
one, yet | never expect to enjoy my
work more than [ did in South Dakota
driving over the prairies with ponies
and buggy, hunting up children for the
Sunday school.
My advice to people about coming to
this state to live, is the same as one
year ago. If you have home and way
of making living you would better
stay where you are. Men with capital
can live here as cheaplv as in South
Dakota. and for old people the southe
part of the state has many delightful
places in which to spend declining
years. As rule South Dakota is as
healthy state as California. Persons
with lung trouble find the southern
part of the state very helpful.
We are glad to hear of the good crops
in your state and hope you will be fa-
yored with all-needed blessings Wish
ing you all merry Christmas and
happy New YeaB | am as ever, yours
cordially, DAVID P. WARD.

and currency laws. .---Bradstreet's
