The Cavalier county board of ap-
praisal will recommend to the state
board that timber on school lands be
sold to the highest bidder for cash and
that five years be allowed the purchaser
to get the land cleared. The Walhalla
Mo%untaineer believes this is a good plan
as it will provide arevenue for the school
fund and also a remedy against the con-
tinued stealing of public property. If
the board adopts this recommendation
for Cavalier county the anne paper
thinks it would be we'll to put it in oper-
alton in all the counties in the state,
where there are public lands with tim
Der On them as the taking Of wood, not
only for private use but for speculation
purposes, is carried on in all locations.
The state would derive a revenue from
the wood, even ifsmall, while the cleared
lands would be of greater value than
the scrub, when the state was ready tc
sell. In the event of not selling the new
timber, poplar, would again be grown in
five years and ready for another sale OF
timber.

AN amendment proposed to the bill
relative to the right Of way for railroads
in Alaska has been submitted by Sena-
tor H~ansbrough, which,, if adopted,
would have an important bearing on
trade between this country and Canada.
The effect Of the amendment is to per-
nit the entry of goods under bond in the
ports of Alaska for export through
British territory. In consideration of
this privilege it is proposed-to exact of
the dominion government not Only that
it shall allow free entry to the mining
fields of miners outfits, but also claim
ing for American fishermen the right to
touch and trade in ports Of British
dominion. The effect of this plan is to
to secure greater advantages to Ameri-
can fishermen and traders in Canadian
waters as an offset to concessions given
to goods shipped into British territory
through Alaska.

The disaster on board the American
battleship Maine was one of those.h or-
rors which is imperfectly cnmprehended
from description. In the space of a
moment a magnificent naval structure
costing millions was utterly destroyed,
and, worse than all else, hundreds of
brave and gallant seamen lost their
lives. The opinion prevalent regarding
the disaster is that it was accidental,
and every consideration of humanity
leads to the wish that it may be SO
proven. That any enemy, however
vengeful or vindictive, should thus seek
revenge, appears impossible. There. will,
and properly should, be the most rigid
investigation of the disaster, with a view
to locating the, cause of the horror.
Until that has been satisfactorily settled
criticism should be suspended.

In a recent report the division of for
eign markets of the agricultural depart
ment gave 10 the country some interest
ing and important statistics respecting
the growth of the foreign trade of the
United States, especially in products of
the farm. An important feature of the
report, and one which should not escape
was a comparative table of
prices of articles for export during the
past few years. While the prices quoted
might be misleading to many people, as
they are much higher than the current
market prices in the interior sections of
the country, the prices are what are
known as seaport prices" and cover the
prices of articles selected for export, and
are, for this reason considerably higher
than the prices known to the farm
and the local market. Export prices
of some grades of live animals
fresh and salt meats, cheese, barley

To SEE the following in the Grand
Forks Plaindealer-which last year sup
ported Bryan and free silver and pre-
dicted all kinds of disasters in the event
of the election of Mckinley, is indeed
proof Of thorough conversions:
1t would look as if we we're returning
to the good old times of peace and
plenty. The farmers of the northwest
have had a splendid year, merchants
are reporting q better business than has
been known at this season for years,
and manufacturing of all kinds shows
renewed action. Never in the history
of this country have so many debts been
wiped out as during the past year. It
has been prominently the debt cancel
ling year of the age, and there is in our
banks and financial institutions an un-
usually large amount of money awaiting
investments. One more year of such
conditions and the farmers of the Red
River valley will be practically out of
debt, and many of them will have a nice
store laid up for a rainy day.

THE Grand Forks Herald recently al

upon a young boy who had been ar
rested for bootlegging at Steele, intimat-
ing that the judge was disposed to be
lenient toward offenders of this kind,
because ho did not want the prohibition
law enforced. Winship's cockoo in this
city published the article of the Herald,
although it was grossly unjust and did
not give the facts in the case Now
Editor Wood of the Steele Ozone, who

excuse for the sale or gift of liquor

of the complainant, and was the ex-
pressed wish OF those most active in the
prohibition cause. Signatures of the
latter to the petition to the court attest
the truth of this.

to the effect that should he again ap-

OFFICIAL PAPER BuRlEIGH co,
THE AMBITIOUS MIR. RANKIN

In conversation with A.. G.. Rankin
that gentleman stated that he had nevel
witnessed such corruption and gangisn
as exists in the republican party of this
state. He says that unless there is a
complete turning down of the bosses in
the next convention the state will be
lost to the party.
The above is from a sheet published
at Devils Lake which did not support
the republican ticket in 1896. If it is
an accurate report of what Mr.. Rankin
said, it places that gentleman in a very
unfavorable light before the republican
masses of our state. Other performers"
from time to time have eXerted their
Imagination to the tension point to find
vivid expressions in which to embalm
the "old gang" and to eulogize them
selves, but it remained for the vicarious
Rankin-if he is reported correctly as
above-to reach the climax as 3 a con-
structor Of picturesque sentence.
Rankin is but one year from Pennsyl-
vapia. Did he reform the Keystone
state, or WIS the "corrup'ion" and
"gangism" too much for him there?
Where has Mr.. Rankin witnessed cor
ruption in North Dakota? Where has
he witnessed 'gangism?" Who is cor
rupt and what has happened, except in
the imagination of Mr.. Rankin, to
weaken the republican party? Will he
specify? If Mr.. Rankin knows any poll
tics at all-and if he is quoted correctly
as above We doubt it very much-he
must known that no political party ever
succeeded in satisfying everybody in re-
gard to appointments to office. The en-
perience of the party managers in North
Dakota has been the experience of tho:e
in other states and will continue to be
the experience of political managers and
political parties to come. Who are the
bosses, o. righteous Rankin? Are the
republican committees-precinct, county
and state--to be turned down in order
to save the state-and turn Rankin in?
Verify, if Mr.. Rankin goes on this way
he himself will be subjected to criti-
cism as a political boss. Meantime we
may be permitted to exclaim, with the
poet,
Upon what meat doth this. our Caesar, feed.
That he hath grown so great
Rankin, if you were not downright
silly in some things you say it would be
in older to put you down as an asst
you are correctly quoted by your Devils
Lake organ. But SO Tonga as Mr. Rankin
is getting about 500 a week to abuse
the sold gang; and create dissensions
in the party that put prohibition into
the constitution, MIR. Rankin can afford
to deal in asininity.

The memory of the horrible Spicer
tragedy has been recalled by the death
of another Of the alleged participants
therein, that of George Defender.
There is now but one of the accused
men living. Three of them met sum-
mary vengeance at the hands of a mob,
and n of them died of consumption.
1t is stated that he made some sort of a
statement to a priest, but the nature of
it is not known. Unless it shall develop
to have been Il confession, it is doubt
full if the exact facts in the murder will
ever be SO revealed as to satisfy all Of
the truth of that horrible sextuple
ira gedy. One story of the murder was
told by two of the murderers, but the
truth Of that is questioned by many.
1t would be a relief if the facts in the
case could be disclosed in such a man
mar as to leave no doubt of the truth.

THE United States should have a
larger navy. 1t has been frequently as
serted, and with wisdom, that the sure
est defense against war is a preparation
for it. The only war which the United
States will ever wage with a foreign
power will be a naval war. The cost of
enough battleships to make the United
States a first rate naval power, would be
totally insignificant compared with the
cost of a war which might be provoked
by the very weakness of Uncle Sam. OF
course there is no nation or combination
of nations on earth that could defeat
the United States in the final outcome
of war. We have unlimited resources,
unlimited men, and unlimited money
and credit. But in case of trouble, the
damage that might be done by a foreign
fleet along our coast would more then
equal the cost Of a navy, before we could
build and mar vessels with which to
drive off the enemy. The cry of ex-
pense, which is the only argument
which is advanced against the strength
ening of the navy, may be terribly an
swered some day, should millions of
money and thousands of men be sacri-
feed to the inadequate power of the
United States. The destruction of the
n ship Maine leaves the United States
with two less armored batJleships than
Spain. Let us have peace by all means
where consistent with honor, but let us
insure peace by the possession of a navy
that will prevent foreign nations from
presuming on the naval weakness Of the
United States.

buckwheat, rye, wheat, hops, rice,
tobacco. potatoes and onions ranged
higher during the last five months of 1897
than they did during the previous year.
The average export prices only are
quoted in all instances, and wool shows
an advance of approximately 4 cents a
pound up to November last over the
prices of 1896. Barley shows an in
crease from 3S cents a bushel to so cents:
rye from AZ to so cents: fresh pork
advanced 2 cents a pound. In closing
some interesting comments upon the
changes in the range of export prices
the report says:
The price statistics quoted above
exhibit very clearly the marked advance
that has occurred since the close of the
last fiscal year June 30, 1897 in the
average prices of some of our leading
agricultural imports and exports. The
general decline which took place during
the five years ended Nov. 80, 1897, has
been succeeded by Il general upward
tendency. This is particularly notice.
able in the prices of the products ex.
ported. Cotton is the only agricultural
export of any considerable Importance
that shows a marked decline. The
advances of chief Importance were those
occurring in the prices of wheat and
flour, but most Of the other cereals, and
also many of the provisions, made
notable gains. OF the eighty-fve items
for which an average export price for
the five months ended Nov. 80, 1897, was
available, fifty show an increase over the
average price for the preceding fiscal
year, while sixty-four of the lO3 imported
show a similar increase.
To the democratic calamity shouters !
who are insisting that the agricultural
interests have received no benefits from
increased prices of farm products, except
wheat, due to a short crop abroad,
these figures should come as an interest
ing revelation.

lands. though with some changes. One
of the amendments made by the senate
committee limits to forty acres the
amount of land to be taken, unless the
land is distinctly agricultural. This is
done with the view of preventing a
monopoly by individuals of valuable
sites. So it is provided that no home
stead title shall limit or abridge the free
navigation of the waters of the territory.
Provision is made for the ISSUE by the
secretary of the interior of permits to

UPoN the two important nations that
next engage in hostilities must rest the
task of testing new war appliances on
sea and land, observes the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. Old conditions have
passed away. Modern fighting machin.
cry and material, while rendered appar-
emily far more formidable than before
are practically untried in actual con.
lict. The practically instantaneous loss
of the Maine is an example of the new
era. Whether sunk from within o.
without her destruction was due to 6
high explosive unknown in our previ
GUS wars. The loss of life placed al

OF land, or might have been put to other
laudable purposes. That the law should
condemn a stock of liquors to the
hames, must either be, taken to be an
act OF revenge upon the liquor for it's
existence, or as a move toward eliminat-
ing the visible supply of booze. If the
former, the actSwas silly. If the latter.

GREAT interest has been taken by the
prohibitionists in the Red River valley
in the case against the railroad agent
who has just been convicted of blind
pigging. President Hill of the Great
Northern appears also to have taken
some interest in the case, for he has
made the depot in question a flag sta.
ton, and hereafter if the thirsty resi-.
dents wants booze they will have tc
hang an unbeatable jug on the mail
crane.
