adapted to the cultivation of clover, tim
Othy and the other tame grasses that
seeds scattered by the lumbermen along
the tote roads have grown and spread so
rapidly that one cannot take fishing or
without walking waist high through a
and timothy. This surprising adaptable
ity for the tame grasses points unerringly
to what will become one of the largest
future interests of this section of the
state-the dairy and creamery. With a
moderate winter climate, by no means as
cold as is generally supposed, for Duluth
is as warm as is Des Moines, To-, with
good roads for carrying the milk or it's
products in butter and cheese to railway
markets, with Lake Superior right at
hand Offering a cool summer route for
the shipment of dairy produce to Eastern
markets, and with a high-priced market
at home on the iron ore ranges, and at the
head of the lakes and at the Twin Cities,
for butter and cheese it is no wonder
that those who have the interests of the
state at heart and the foresight to judge
from conditions, are ready to say that,
prominent as Minnesota is in dairying, as
the timbered districts became occupied,
this state will forge far ahead, as a but
ter and cheese-producing commonwealth,
of any other state in the Union.

THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE MONDAY FEBRUARY 81 1899

sidered in both houses, but final action
has not been reached.
The total appropriations of the pres
ent session will approximate 100000, 600.
Of which about s25O,0OO,0OO will be for
the military and naval uses or for sub
jects connected with the war. This Is
a general estimate, however, based up
on totals which may undergo much
change, as very few of the large ap-
preparation bills have become law, and
some of them have not even been con-
sidered. II the Nicaragua canal amend
ment is added to the river and harbor
bill this will make a material increase.
Included i'm the naval bill are provis-
ions for three sea-going battleships,
three armored cruisers and six small
cruisers, for which 10,O00,00O is appro-
priated for the first years work.
Based on estimates, the total appro~
priations for the congress mot includ-
ing the four appropriation bills left
over by the former congress) would be
approximately $1,000, 100000, Of which
amount approximately $500, 100000 is
for war expenses or incident to the
army and navy.
