and the jolly soldier boys from the north
cheering themselves hoarse in greeting
to the large crowd of Honolulu people
assembled on the wharf.
The Valencia is a beautiful boat, her
lines being perfect. Ga account of her
speed and her adaptability to island
'raiiic it is understood that Gen. Merritt
will keep her at the Philippines for
dispatch purposes. Her officers are all
Americans. Captain J. H. Lane is in
command. Captain Turner, second Off
Ger, and Third Mate Dolliver, is first
mate. F. Macondray is purser of the
vessel. He is one of the best known
steamship men on the coast" The
names of the officers of the companies
are given in detail, and in notes on the
arrival of the troops are the following:
"There are five printers in Company
D of the Dakota regiment"
"On the wharf at - o'clock Hawaiian
and American officers sang Major Nc
Carthy's latest Dewey song for the ben
eft of the Dakota troops on the
Valencia"
"Oficers of the Dakota regiment we're
received at the Hawaiian officers club
upon their arrival at midnight last
night. The entertainment lasted a
couple Of hours"
"Private P. Nelson of Company D,
Hawaiian national guards, has enlisted
in Company A of the North Dakota
troops. He is a fine fellow and a good
soldier. Private Nelson was ill quite
recently at the Central house, but is
now in fine shape"
In speaking of the arrival Of the Da-
kota troops, the Honolulu Bulletin says:
"Shortly after IL o'clock last night, the
whistle announced the arrival off port
of a foreign steamer and a little later
the fire whistle made the people sure
the vessel was a transport. Shortly
after midnight the Valencia steamed
slowly up the channel. The tug boat
had been hurriedly prepared for the well
coming committee and as the Valencia
approached the lighthouse, she steamed
out with about fifty people aboard
including Geo. W. Smith, Col. Soper,
officers of the N. G.. H. and about a
dozen band boys. Immediately the
notes of a patriotic air from the band
sounded over the water and an answering
cheer from hundreds of lusty threats
came back. Then the searchlight of
the Monadnock was turned on the
transport and the boys in blue appeared,
crowding each other to the very rails of
the ship, or sitting on the rope ladders
waving handkerchiefs and hats. It was
an ideal welcome given in the darkness
of the night. The Valencia then hauled
alongside the Pacific Mail wharf and
the officers were escorted to the officers
club.

AT the county convention in Cass-
Judge Roberts who WAS opposed by
Secretary Phelps for the nomination as
county Judge won ont by a vote of
three to one-which serves to show-not
that Phelps is unpopular or unqualified

but that it is a mighty hard job to
beat an old timer like Rober,s-with an
excellent official record.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer be-
lieves evidently that the way to pro-
mulgate a platform is to "holler" long
and loud in favor of every conceivable
reform. The republican platform
terscly declaring for higher assessment
of railroads and the enforcement of the
prohibition law-does not suit the
Plaindealer-which thinks the rcpub.
licans should have slobbered to the ex-
tent of a column or so, pledging the
carrying out of every reform that has
been demanded in the last twenty years
like the democrats and pops did at
F~argo-when they promised to regulate
every evil under which the nation has
sutfere ed for half a century-if the peo-
pie would only give 'em half a chance.
1t is popularity of the democrats and
pops-that they are willing to holler in
favor of any principle--which promises
them of1ice-the better the chance of
office the louder they proclaim their in.

take a louder platform than the Plain

SOME German missionaries went to
China and got killed by a mob: where
upon Germany, by way of indemnity,
seized a Chinese port and the adjacent
territory. And now a German CONSUL
general, in an official report, dwells upon
the desirability of getting still more
Chinese territory, and says the easiest
way to do so is to send more mission
aries.

ing to this report the increased value of
the farmers crops in 1897 as compared
with 1895 will amount to nearly $1,000
O0O,CO0. 1t is further stated that $780,
COO,OW of farm mortgages have been
paid off in the past two years, besides
millions in chattle mortgages, this
being attended with an increase in bank
deposits and a fall in interest rates.
The gain to the farmer of the wheat
crops of 1896 and 1897 over the proceed
ing two Years is estimated at fully $780,
COO,0 900, and while the returns from
corn were somewhat smaller, the net
gain for the two great cereals is nearly
$3.50, COO,OCO. This country's exports
during the past cereal year are said to
have sold for as much as the entire
crops of either year 1893, 1894 or 1895
were worth. While far cy prices are not
expected the present season, there being
nothing like the worlds great crop
shortage of last year in sight, a good
market as fair prices is looked for for
the surplus of American farms. That
other than the farmers will benefit by
this is thought certain, and with the
present seasons large yields the out
look is for the heaviest railroad tonnage
ever known in this country. There
seems little reason to doubt that the
improvement already reported in de-
mand as a result Of last seasons crops
will be further accumulated by the re-
suits of the present years business.

added TO the expedition which is thus far

The largest tobacco pipe factory IN the
world is located In Appo-nastox county
near panplin City. This is in itself an in
teresting fact. and not one generally

the manufacture OF tobacco pipes. but the
industry was carried on in the most 9esui-
tory way Sometimes a negro at odd
times would fashion a few rude pipes and
sell them in the neighborhood. generally
at the country store.
But at the close If the war the whites
turned their attention to the clay deposits
II was necessity and not a matter %
choice. The war had swept away every
thing. The implements with which the
pipes were manufactured were simple ana
