Money in Stock.

Geo. Pollock has returned to Spirit.
wood from winters stay at Kincar-
dine, Ont. The farmers there. he says,
are getting better prices for cattle and
hogs now than for the last two years.
Stock raising is the principal INDUS
try. Pigs, weighing from 100 to 200 lbs.
are raised for the English market, the
average price received for them being
about $475 per 100 lbs. At one time
last winter the price ran up to S6 q
hundred lbs. live weight It used to be
the custom to raise large quantities OF
peas to fatten pigs but it has been
found that maneles and roots make an
excellent feed and peas are only used as
a finisher. to harden the flesh. Corn is
not fed for fear of cholera, which it is be-
lleved to produce. Almost any kind Of
q COW there is worth from $35 to $40,
Mr.. Pollock says. The farmers own
cheese factories, the owners Of cows
being entitled to ss many votes in the
management of the affairs Of the factory
90 he has cows, Each farmer keeps
from IL to IA cows, or more, and from
such herd $500 or more ,s realized Q
year from the milk. TIE cheeses bring
about 10 cents pound.
Notwithstanding some OF the ad-
vantages there Mr.. Pollock prefers
North Dakota and its prospects. He
will farm 100 acres this season.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-A matter
that caused great deal Of excitement
around the corridors and among the
officials of the navy department was
the information that had been received
from United States Minister Woodford
at Madrid, of the departure westward
of formidable Spanish feet of three
vessels. Naturally there was disposi.
tion to criticise the action of Spain in
this particular, in view of the many
peace protestations that have been
made by that country, and such action
was regarded as anything but friendly
move.
During the morning Secretary Long
also announced the detail of officers
who are to command the newly acquired
tugs and yachts designed for the aux
iliary navy, and the public statement
was made that the government was ne.
gotiating for the acquisition Of the st.
Thomas island in the West Indies for
use as coaling station.
Information Came From Woodford.
The information of the sailing of the
Spanish feet was contained in dis.
patch to the state department. from
United States Minister Woodford, at
Madrid. The ships sailed from Carta.
gena, Spanish naval station on the
Mediterranean, and, according to the
minister's dispatch, they were headed
westward" This, it is said, is I'M.
doubtedly the most formidable array of
vessels that has departed from Spain in
this direction during the present crisis,
and the presumption generally held by
the navy department officials is that
they are headed ultimately for Havana
and will be first heard of at the Cana.
ries. The feet is composed of two
armored cruisers Of the second class.
under the convoy of formidable tor.
pedo boat destroyer. The names Of the
cruisers are the Infanta Maria Teresa,
q sister ship to the Vizcaya, and the
Cristobal Colon. The convoy of the
vessels, the Destructor, is formidable
ship of her class, of about 400 tons dis
placement and capable Of excellent
service.

Settlers by Hundreds.

Some 700 people arrived at Darlington
last week to settle on lands uear by, and
We expect 500 more this week from Iowa,
Missouri and Arkansas, said Attorney r.
A. Bill OF CarrinRton, who spent Sunday
in jamestown. The settlers are locating
in q strip of country about 80 by 50
miles, from 20 miles northeast OF Car
rlngton to 25 miles weat Of Sykston.
The land ls good for probably 40 miles
west Of Sykeston before striking the
Cotesu plateau aud 1t is very probable
that the Northern Pacific will find it
necessary to extend the Sykeston branch
in very short time.
All winter long people drove over the
prairie examining lands and making
purchases. The real estate dealers made
sales throughout the winter. One of the
Studebaker brothers, that manufacture
the wagons at South Bend, Ind, q Dunk
ard, purchased halt section improved
farm paying about $l2 an acre. From
the proceeds OF the crop last year he
paid the entire purchase price; he in
tended to pay for the land in three years.
Nearly all of these settlers now coming
have money. They have sold their farms
back east for from $50 to S75 an acre and
are bnying new, vigorous land for from
"a an acre up.
Csrrlngton is prosperous and dong
fine business now, not Of the boom char
acter as in the early days, but steady.
healthy trade.

ARCHBISHOP 1RELAND's LAND.

Washington, February 4-Commission-
er Herman of the general land office today
decided the case of Archbishop John
Ireland, involving the right to about 3d.
600 acres of land in the St. Cloud and
Marshall districts, Minnesota. With a
view to colonization and other purposes
the archbishop entered into contract
with the ST. Paul. Minneapolis and
Manitoba Railway company within whose
limits the land lay, for it's disposition.
These contracts were dated July II, 1880,
and March 30 1888 Subsequently it was
determined that the land was not property
conveyable to the railroad and the ques-
ton arose whether the archbishop under
the agreements with the company could
become the purchaser Of the lands, on
which many persons had settled. The
commissioner decides that under the
agreement Of 1880, in which about so, 600
acres are involved, the archbishop cannot
become the purchaser, as he was simply
the agent of the company in disposing of
tho lands for which he received u COM
mission. The settlers now on these lands
can acquire patent under the land laws at
the price of sl.25 per acre or under GER
tain conditions may take out homestead
rights. Under the agreement of 1883 the
commissioner decides the archbishop has
the right to purchase lands. These he
will have to pay for at the rate of $3.50
per acre. Many persons have settled also
on these lands under arrangements with
the archbishop In the first case there
fore, the decision is against the arch
bishop, and in the second for him, al.
though Ia both cases the settlers will be
protested. The archbishop has the right
of appeal from this decision to the score
tary of the interior.

THE WOODBURY. SAVED HER.
Revenue Cutter Pulled Steamer fremont
Out of the Ice After Much Difficulty.

The revenue cutter Woodbury. returned
TO this port yesterday, having saved the
steamer fremont from being total loss
in Eggemoggin Reach in Penobscot Bay
on Wednesday. On Monday night Capt.
Hand of the Woodbury. was notified that
the steamer fremont, which runs be
tween Blue Hill and Rockland was fast
in the ice in Eggemoggin Reach and
unless assistance came quickly she would
be a. total loss.
The revenue cutter was unable to leave
port on Tuesday owing to the blizzard
which was still raging. On Wednesday
morning she started out at daybreak and
proceeded under canvas and steam tc
the scene of the Tremonts accident
Late that afternoon she reached the spot
and found the little steamer fremont
held firmly by the ice and III danger OF
being wrecked. Lieut.. Saterlee was sent
off to the fremont in one of the Wood
bury's cutters. He was unable to reach
the vessel owing to the heavy ice field
which surrounded her and the nearest
he could get to the spot was within one
fourth of mile. He returned to the
Woodbury. and got large megaphone by
means of which communication was
opened with the fremont. Capt. o. A.
Crockett of that steamer found the ice
was strong enough to bear his weight
and walked across the ice field to the
Noodbury's boat. He was taken on
board the revenue cutter and it was
decided to try at once and release the
ice bound steamer. After many attempts
the Woodbury. broke away the ice which
held tfo fremont and pulled her out of
her dangerous position. She then towed
her to RoclSland.
The fremont got into this ice field
owing to the freezing of her condensers
on Sunday night. Had it not been for
the prompt action OF the Woodbury. she
would have been total loss.
This morning the Woodbury. leaves
for the st. Croix river, where she has
been informed that one of the Inter
national Steam Transportation steamers
is incased in the ice in a dangerous
position. The revenue cutter was coal
ing up yesterday afternoon for this long
trip. She has done an immense amount
of work this winter and Capt Hand and
his efficient officers have not been al
lowed. many days in port. The little
vessel is Kept on the move by the depart
ment about all the time.
On her return from the ST. Croix the
Woodbury. will take two life boats to the
light house station on Damariscove
island. One OF these is to come from
Jerry's Point and the other from Ports
mouth

JUDGE PETERS WOULDN'T SIGN.

Bangor, February AT the meeting
of the W. c. T. q. on Thursday after

Carolyn Patten, reported that Chief JUS
tice Peters had refused to sign the paper
which the ladies are circulating with a
view Of showing that public sentiment
in Bangor favors the. liqour. law enforce
ment.
It appears that the chief justice received
the lady with his customary courtesy
and announced that he had a fixed rule
against signing any paper of that ma
tlre or any other relating to petitions.
He gave Mrs. Patten some advice regard
ing the proposed crusade against the
liquor traffic and the members of the
union were altogether much pleased with
what he said.
The chief justice is being generally
commended for his action in refusing to
sign the petition.
