The extent of the recovery of prices
IN the past four days is perhaps hardly
realized. 1t has been the general impress
sion apparently that Burlington has been
the only stock TO advance. 1t is true that
the general list moved little on Tuesday
and Wednesday, but on the two following
days there was an upward swing in nearly
all securities. which makes the situation
doubly Impressive. These are figures in
some of the stocks, the low price of Tues
day and the high of yesterday being com
pared.

Burlington was Still the star of the list
yesterday, with an advance of over six
points in all and net advance of nearly
four points. The high point was 14S IA
and the close was 147 rs. These figures
for Burlington will be recognized as the
highest since the road paid per cent divi-
dend annually. With the dividend declared
this week the stock is now nearly ten
points higher than the top of the January
advance. The truth of the Burlington re-
funding matter is simply that the plan
has been considered and considered Sc
riously, despite the denials of Burlington
officers. II is easy to see why this fact
should not be acknowledged by the COM
pany at this time. The details OF the plan
are not ready for publication yet and may
not be for some time. But it may be
stated on the authority of man entirely
familiar with the situation that the plan
has gone so far that the banking house
which is to make the deal is now working
on it. This is positive knowledge and
not hearsay or surmise. The immense ben
eft TO the stockholders of the road to
accrue from the refunding OF the bonds at
1-2 per cent. interest, when the road is
already earning 10 per cent, accounts for
all the advance in Burlington, and much
more.

The other grangers were hardly less
buoyant than Burlington yesterday. Rock
Island went TO 120 "a, and closed at the
top with an advance of more than two
points. ST. Paul went to 130 Ii, and clos

pie is that both stocks, but especially st.
Paul, will have a much greater advance in
the near future. 1t is generally believed
that both will pass their previous high
mark today.

GOOD RMlN
Example of What Thrifty Farming
and Energy Will Do for Settlers
in North Dakota.

just to show what good farming and
the right kind of methods will do for
settlers coming into North Dakota, the.
jamestown Alert cites the example of
George Joos of Stutsman county, as
follows:
about twenty years ago Mr.. Joos
came to jamestown from Wisconsin.
He took as a homestead, part of the
place where he now lives and put up a
small frame shanty 1Oxl2. A year later
he brought out his wife and three small
children. After landing here he had in
money Just IS. He was charged 50 for
the breakfast for the family and 81 for
some other trit1ing accommodation by
Landlord Kelliher, and started farm
life in North. Dakota with just 81 in
cash. He had, however, a span of horses
and a wagon, with feed and provisions to
last until fall. But his main resource
lay in the industry and economy by him
self and his good wife. He broke a little
on his W claim and in winter freighted
to Fort Totten for Ward Bill to pay for
groceries. 1t was hard to get along in
those days for the country was new and
Mr.. Joos put up with all kinds of priva
tions, such as new settlers now know
nothing of. He economical on the
ne cessaries of life, because he could no
do otherwise. MI. Joos laughs now as
he looks over a herd of 60 or more fat
stock grazing in his pasture, and thinks
that in early days for two years and five
months he did not have a drop of milk to
use in his family. The first money he
earned breaking for Judge Glaspell, s25,
he started out with to buy a COW Jim
Lee had a COW which he would not sell
for less than $40 cash. After vainly try
ing to get credit for the SIS needed, he
found his old friend Bill would loan him
the money and with it he got the COW.
A %storekeeper would not in those days
trust him for 4Oc for a lantern globe,
which he needed, but Ward Bill zane to
the rescue again and offered to make the
loan SOC. But 4Oc was borrowed and
the globe bought. Mr.. Joos says he
could raise $1,000 easier now than he
could that Acc then.
early as 1884 he was able to build the
house he now occupies. He has now
clear of debt, 1,340 acres of land within
five and six miles of jamestown, a large
barn built at a cost of $500, some &
odd head of horned stock. 25 head Of
horses, besides the usual large farm ma
chinery outfit. He could sell his place
and retire from active work. The story
is interesting, as it is part of the histor.
of the early settlers of the county, ant
shows besides what North Dakota Cal
do for those who, like George zoos, pu
hard work, good management and plucl
into the business of farming on tn
prairie.

APPRAISAL.
Hoisington Here to Begin
the Work of Appraisal of Fort
Stevenson.

Following the order of the officials of
the general land office, Appraiser Fred
Hoisington of the general land office is
in the city en- route to Fort Stevenson to
appraise the land in the reserve, amount
ing to a little over $4,000 acres, prelimin-
airy to the sale of the land. Under the
regulations of the department. the land
has to he appraised in forty acre tracts
before it is offered for sale. Mr.. Hois-
ington does not know how long the ap-
praisal will take, it depending much on
the character of the land. The Fort Blu
ford reservation is another that will be
disposed of in the same way, as soon as
it is surveyed. This is one of the largest
reservations in the country, there being
something like half a million acres OF
land within it's limits.

The Difference.

The difference between Stree wool"
and Mckinley wool, is shown by the fol-
lowing from the Forum: In 1855 Mr..
Phelan had a lot of wool on the slope to
sell. He wrote wool commission houses
in Boston and Philadelphia for an ad-
vance. They reported they would not
accept consignments of the western wool
except freight was prepaid in full.
The wool not being worth the freight
charges. One day last week wool from
off the backs of sheep, raised on this
same slope, sold for II cents a pound at
the N. P. station. The pops helped to
elect Cleveland, and the people elected
McKinley-and there you are.

this point are not to he attacked, but the
question is to be raised as to where the
sale Of a G. O. d. package occurs. The
enforcement league will claim that the
sale of a G. O. D. package takes place at
the point where it's delivery to the pur-
chaser occurs. The claim is made that
the transportation company in such cases
acts O only as a common carrier, but
also as the vendors agent, and that the
goods, until the actual transfer is made,
are virtually in the vendors possession,
