The farming out of the care of the unfortunates at the county poor farm deserves the strongest censure The board of supervisors ought to have di- rect supervision of the farm. When the inmates of a county poor house have to rely on a contractor for their food it stands to reason that unless he is philanthropist they will fare badly. In the case. of the Mar:copa county poor farm the contractor is not known as philanthropist.

According to the scientific and sur gical news items now floating, man as constituted since man first was pos sesses many useless organs. The spleen, the vermiform appendix, the stomach, part of the brain, or one lung, can each be removed without death resulting. In addition, men live with bullets in their brains and with dagger wounds in their hearts. If a man had just one-half as many organs as he starts out with he would have less to keep in repair.

How do the free silver men account for a surplus of sixty millions of dol lars in the gold reserve fund?

Gladstone as a Horse Breaker.

The famous American horse tanner,
Rarey, when he was in England, spoke of
Gladstone as ono Of tho finest and boldest
riders he had ever seen. Once, when chan.
cellor Of the exchequer, rs he was taking
his usual ride in Hyde park on a spirited
young horse, the horse plunged md got
away, ran off the ordinary track of riders
and came along q spread of turf divided
by railways and gates of slender iron. It
went straight over one of the gateways.
Gladstone was determined to get the bet
tor Of that horse. The moment the horse
leaped the gate the rider turned him
around and put him at the gate again.
Again and again he topped it, and his
master turned him and made him go at it
once more and surmount it yet another
time. So 1t went on until the horse was
fairly but very harmlessly conquered, and
the rider was the supreme victor Of tho
dAY.-Argonaut.

Prosperity in the Northwest.

An index to the prosperity and to the
largely increased immigration to North
Dakota is to be found in the largely in
creased land sales of the Northern Paci-
fc road to actual settlers. The past
year has been a record breaker, and the
Pioneer Press has a summary from the
land department of the road which
must be pleasing to every one who has
the interests of North Dakota at heart.
If the demand for farm lands is an in
dex to the condition of the times, surely
the northwest is entirely upon an era of
prosperity unprecedented in its history.
Never have the sales of lands been so
large as during the past year; never has
the tide Of immigration been so persist
emily turned in this direction as at pres
ent. The Northern Pacific alone has
sold over 100000 acres in the last year.
Farm lands in the northwest must
ever continue to be a staple commodity,
whether the times will be dull OF brisk,
but, like everything else, they are af-
fected by good and bad business years.
The depression of 1893 that left silent
factories, idle enterprises, suspended
banks and wrecked corporations in it's
wake, reduced the value of realty every

without exception, and are buying for
the purpose of building homes. The
policy of the company is to sell to actual
settlers, and, as I stated, ovcr IS per
cent of the purchasers east of the Mis-
souri, river have contracted to settle
upon and begin improvement of their
land within twelve months from the
time of buying.
"West of the Missouri river, in North
Dakota and in Montana, we do not ex-
pect the percentage of actual settlers to
be very large. Those sections of the
northwest are principally adapted to
stockraising and purchases are made of
large bodies of land for grazing purposes.
OF course, there are fine agricultural
lands to be found in Western North
Dakota and in Montana, but the area is
so limited, comparatively, that the pre-
ponderance Of sales must be made to
persons who will employ the land for
other purposes than raising grain and
field products.
"The return of good times, the i'm
mense crop of 1897 and the relief given
the farmer by the restoration of the
tariff on wool and other farm products
have combined to give an impetus to the
demand for lands in the northwest that
is promising of splendid results.

where aud made unimproved farm lands
a drug or the market. Tue northwest
was not the only section of the country to
suffer, but, fortunately, it is the first to
recover. This is largely due to it's uni
form, bountiful harvests, the low price
and excellent quality of its lands and
the character of the people that have
settled it.
F. w. Wilsey, eastern land agent Of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
has Just compiled some interesting6g-
ures from the records of his office, show
ing the company's sales in Minnesota,
North Dakota and Montana, since July
l, 1889. While they pertain to the bust
ness of but one concern the figures may
be taken as indicating the condition of
the market and they tell, better than
words, the ups and downs in the land
business during the past nine years.
The total sales of the company in
Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana,
since July l, 1889. aggregate the i'm.
mense area of 1885,, 674.71 acres. OF
this quantity 1,226,11 l 81 acres are in
Minnesota, 509,156.27 acres in North
Dakota and 1,l22,4OO.57 in Montana.
These lands passed into the hands of
1892 purchasers, a very large percent
age of whom were actual settlers. The
sales by years during this period, with
the number of purchasers each year,
are as follows:

Fiscal year ended June 30:

It will thus be seen that the sales
during the past fiscal year we're three
times as great as in the preceding year,
twelve times as great as in 1894 and
about twice as large as in 1892, the
largest previous year in the company's
history. It was therefore a record
breaker and a good one, too.
Mr.. Wilsey said that he did not be-
lieve the end of good sales was yet in
sight. 81 look for the present demand
to continne for some years." be remark
ed. "The movement is a substantial
one and appears to be positively free
from speculative features. The year just
closed may be Il banner year, but there
is every prospect that the present one
will be fully as large.
"Ihe best feature of our business is
the fact that over Is per cent Of the
lands in Minnesota and in North Dakota
east of the Missouri river have been
sold to actual settlers. This means a
great deal to the Twin Cities, for dur
ing the past year alone nearly $500
sales have been made to purchasers who
will, within a year from the time they
bought, be actual residents upon the
lands. 1t means that $500 new farms
will contribute their wealth to these
cities and make demand upon them for
such commodities as the farmer is re-
quired to buy. 1t means more than that
for it will add largely to the population,
increase the acreage of cultivated land,
enhance the value of property generally,
make schools and churches and COM
munities spring up, and in a thousand
ways bring material returns to the
northwest.
"One fact not to be overlooked is the
sturdy character of the men who are
buying these lands. Our customers are
principally farmers or farmers sons
from Iowa, southern Minnesota, south
ern Wisconsin and Illinois with scatter
ing sales to newly arrived immigrants
and to persons from every part of the
union. They are we'll to DO, almost

If the anti-annexationists who look so

should still have been confined to the

for surely the Louisiana territory,
Alaska, California and other possessions
of foreign powers were as full of dangers
for us fifty years ago or more as Hawaii,
Porto Rico or the Philippines are now.
