When a cucumber is taken from

Then slit the stem with a knife
from its end to the vine twice,

each separate slit there will be a

closed bv renlrlls n.de bv Mr.. Held be-
fore leaving Alaska, and by his personal
friends after he had gone.
If MI Held thinks this matter IS per-
sonal one between himself and Mr.. Price
he is cherishlng delusion that will be
dispeled when he again confronts the del
egates of his OUT aged party in convention,
1t is not Mr.. Price that he has BETRAYED,
but the republican party of Alaska, and re-
publicans know how to treat traitor.
No one will believe the reasons assig ned
by Mr.. Held for the absence of any refer>
ence to Alaska in the republican platform,
But if they be true the mentioning of
them by Mr.. Held is like unto his treat
ment of Alaska republicans-it is a be-
traya of his party leaders.
1t is good thing after all, that Mr.
Held should disclose his character at so
little cost TO his party. There is little
lost probably at this time by the larceny
OF the national ommitteemanship by the
Brady outfit from the republicans of Alas
ka, but time is not far in the future when
such an act might be costly not only to
the republican party of Alaska but to the
district of Alaska. Henceforth Mr.. Held
will be marked man.

ductive of a large new business for
Fargo.
Later, the same corporation pro-
poses to build a line which will reach
out into important sections northwest
from Fargo through Cass, Traill,
Steele, Nelson aud Ramsey counties.
This extension would ultimately con-
meet with the 500 in the northwestern
part Of the state.
Mayor johnson said further that an
other proposed extension would be a
line south and southeast from Fargo
to the head of the Lakes. This line
would pass through sections very rich
with lumber and stock, an elegant
country as yet without railroad facili-
ties after leaving Detroit. For 13O
miles the nearest railroad connection
would be 18 miles and most of the
distance the nearest would be 40 to 80
miles.
No confirmation can he obtained
but it is believed that in the end the
new line will come under the manage
ment of the 500 which company has
long been desirous Of getting into

Mr.. Won Media said First, I want to
correct absolutely the impression that
the 500 is at the back of this enter
prise. The 500 people have nothing
whatever to do with the new road. The
incorp porators are Fargo men and east
ern capitalists. 1t is not the purpose
to ask Fargo to do anything. ALI that
will be asked Of Fargo and Moorhead
will be the right of way privileges.
The advantage the new line will be to
Fargo, is warmly appreciated by Fargo
wholesale men. In making Fargo
more Of q center Of distribution, the
new road will supply everything that
could be desired. The road will be
built on its own merits and will be en-
tirely independent ~of any other road,
only SO far as friendly business rela-
tions, at connecting points with other
roads, may interpose. The proposed
survey will be through sections wholly
unoccupied by any other road and We
know there will be business enough for
this road. For years we have been
trying to get the 500 and other people:
to come to Fargo by the proposed new
route. But they always held aloofand
claimed they could not do it. We have
learned as a fact they could not, and il
such q line was to be built it would
have tO he done without the assistance
or influence of other roads. We set to
work to interest other people and we
have succeeded and our road will be
wholly independent of other roads, ex-tt
cepting as I have stated. Work on
surveying and right Of way matters
will be begun at once on the south
eastern branch to Mankato which will
be built first and an effort will be
made to have the line completed in
time for next falls business.

Fargo is to have a wholesale paper house, and
it is bound to be winner on account of the

have been established at Wahpeton this year if

done with an energetic mayor and city council,

NEWEST FASHIONS.

Never did l see so many things worthy
of special attention, and never did
find the things so cheap. Certainly
there are dear Ones-so dear that one
scarcely dares to ask the price, for fear
of falling to the floor in a faint. The
good, kind husbands are now in the
best of humor if their preferred candi-
date has won. and maybe there have
been a few little bets won, and so, dear
little wives, let NE tell you that this is
just the time to ask them for small
amount of extra cash. 1t has always
been understood that the election bets
are the legitimate spoil of the wives.
So l hope you have all been able to
take advantage of the fact and that
you are prepared to go shopping, and
this letter is to tell you what to buy if
you want to be in the front rank of the
most fashionable. The new clOaks and
nantes are handsome indeed to look
at, but the woman of today is too ac-
tive to be able TO get the proper wear
out of them, for the reason that they
are so long that they require slow and
are given to swift action and move
ment. The cloaks are so long that, as
q rule. they touch the ground. and,
hanging open in front, as the most OF
them do. they are greatly in the way.
No one can get into car, carriage or
mount the steps of any place with a
purse in one hand and a parasOl in the
other without peril and also without
the DANCER of stumbling. Some of TIE
empire coats look more like nightrobes
than anything, with the only difference
of material. Covert is seen in very
many of the newest of these long
wraps. mostly the cravenetted covert,
which is waterproof, and they are re-
ally elegant when seen in repose, but
not so when the lady is climbing in and
out of cars and going up stairs.
The long and splendid velvet cloaks
and nantes are cut away in front so
that they are easier managed. Right
here l wish to say that there seems to
be "A great confusion about the names
OF these long garments, as some are
called nantes, and perhaps in the next
store they will be called wraps, opera
cloaks, and others have still other
names. But they are all as beautiful
as if they bore one name only. The
evening wraps are too magnificent to
describe. The most superb brocade,
with real gold thread running through
1T, is used in some of them, and others
are so covered with lace, beading and"
furs that it is almost impossible to
say what the foundation is. But the
chic of all is the square shouldered.

beige doeskin cloth or melton or the

automobile necessary to the happiness
of every one. but all can walk. and that
is why the short box coat is so very
fashionable for the smart set. The
shoulders are fitted with sort of half

The day of sloping shoulders has gone

WEALTH Or TEXAS.
Taxable Values of the State Show
a Healthy Increase.
BEXAR IN THE LEAD
The Totals Foot up $9OS, 200, Gi5, Leay-
ing Out Liberty County, Which
Has Not Been Audited by
the Comptroller Yet.

Austin, Nov. 23-The taxable values
of Texas this year amount to $9JS, 2OO,-
645. This is shown by the comptroller
report who has audited the assessors tax
rolls of every county in the state with
the exception of Liberty county.
The tax rolls for 1899 showed a total
of 1922, 927, 23l and this year $908, 209, 645,
an apparent decrease of S14, 726, $50. The
total for 1899 include $3S, 13S, O79 Of fran
chises and 1862, $50 erroneous assess
ments of property of the international
and Great Northern Railway company
The questions involved in the taxing of
franchises and intanible property is
pending in the courts in some form or
other and taxes were not collected ON
the $3S 900, 900 of franchises nor on the
railroad values above mentioned. Thus
the actual legitimate values of the state
for 1899 was 1884, 026, 53I and the rolls
Of this year therefore indicate a net in
crease in taxable values of $34,174,l14,
which is quite substantial gain and an
increase Of about 81 per cent.
The historic county of Bexar heads
she list as the wealthiest county in the
state and in addition shows the largest
Increase over the previous year.
Navarro county shows the second
largest increase and the figures are due
to the development of the oil fields.
Anderson is the third county in the
matter Of large increases. The increase
In that county is due to the assessment
Of property of the International and
Great Northern Railway company,
which has been exempt for % years.
Jefferson county shows a handsome
Increase and it is not surprising, because
Of the remarkable growth in wealth and
population of that section of the state,
particularly jefferson county and the
city of Beaumont. The latter point is
especially pfogres iive in the lumber and
rice trade, the latter business growing
very fast.
The lar west keeps in line with the
Eastern portion of the state 900 miles
away. FL Paso county ranks next to
Jefferson in having a large increase.
This county and the city of the same
name have experienced unusual success
IN development.
A glance at the counties in the black
belt will show substantial gains in near
y every instance.
The decreases are mostly in south and
west Texas, the food rAvaged counties
suffering heavily. Fort Bend is the.
largest loser, with Travis close second.
The decrease in Travis is the result of a
reduction of S315 per cent in Austin
city values, made necessary by the de-
ytruction of the municipal water and
light plant in the high water of last
April
There are only Al counties out of q
total of 242 showing decreases.
AS above stated, the tax rolls of Lib
srty county have not been receiv cd.
