The fact that a dividend of one and
on the Union Pacific reminds the peo-
pie of the great change that has come
over the republic. No longer ago than
1895 it was c%ontended by many peo-
pie that the government lien on the In
ion Pacific was a worthless credit. val.
liable only as a memory of a nations
folly. A little later, when President
Cleveland negotiated to accept a por-
-tion OF the government debt, every
body thought it a truly remarkable
proceeding and regarded the men Of
fering the money as hardly sane.
When President Mckinley demanded
the full amount of the obligation all
the world wondered. But wonders
never cease. Not only has the Over
land route been able to put its line in
splendid condition from one end to the
other, spending millions for new lines
and equipment. but it has paid to it's
stockholders, both common and pre-
ferred, a fair rate of interest on their
investment. The common stock Of the
company has jumped from 81 to $50
per share and the preferred stock has
sold as high as $50. 1t is the greatest
OF all the transcontinental lines. When
the improvements now under way and
contemplated are completed it will be
beyond competition. 1t is the great

FOR ALKAL| SOILS
SOME NATIVE FORAGE PLANTS
WHICH WILL THRIVE AND
MAKE GOOD FEED.

Question and Gives a List of the
Plants Most Suited for the Condi-
lions Found in Wyoming.
Bulletin No. AZ Of the Agricultural
Experiment station of the University
Of Wyoming, by Prof. Aven Nelson,
botanist of the station, is entitled
Some Native Forage Plants for Aka
Ii Soils" The bulletin contains 25
pages. is profusely illustrated, and is
written in a popular style.
After discussing the condition of the
range, past and present, and the i'm
portance of increasing the productive
ness of the vast areas of open LANDS in
the state, the author gives a list of ma
tive plants which experience has shown
may be cultivated with profit. The fol-
lowing extract is taken from the bull
letin:

form growth that yields as much per
acre as an average field Of Iimothy.
Since it thrives best with a very moder-
ate amount of water lit will not endure
i~iooding) no more profitable grass can
be found for saline areas OF limited
water supply. While not seeding very
freely. the requisite amount for sowing
can easily be obtained after the first
crop has been harvested. 1t is easily
thrashed out in a machine or may be
Hailed out if no better method is at
hand. Seed of this grass is now on the
market.
Alkali Meadow-Grass, (Puccinellia
airoides)-Here we have a grass that
is at home on the salt encrusted mar
gins of ponds and lakes and on wet
effiorescent flats were other grasses
are wholly wanting. In such situations
It grows luxuriantly. making a crop OF
much value but for the difficulty OF
harvesting it. Though, of less nutritive
value than some other grasses yet if
cut in its prime would make tolerable
hay. Browsing animals greedily devour
it but often it grows in Doggy, mac
cossible places. On abandoned alkali
flats which can be flooded early in the
season but which can he entered later
with horses and mower this should be
a profitable crop. 1t produces a fair
amount of seed but unless harvested
promptly, as it nears maturity, much
of this is lost. Even as a pasture grass
it has little value after it has reached
maturity.
BULRUSHES.
Though there are several rushes and
bulrushes that occur in alali soils and
have some slight forage value, yet
there is but one known to the writer
that is sought out by stock when other
feed is abundant. This is the
Tuber Bulrush, (Scirpus p~aludosus)
1t never reaches maturity if it is ac-
cessible to cattle. They will wade
about for it in places where they are
in imminent danger of becoming mir
ed. Ill the grass last described above
1t Will thrive best where the alkali is
the densest. Even on recently dry
beds, covered inches deep with the
white salt, this species still develops
apparently uninjured. Its best deyel-
opment is attained in alkali marshes
that become dry late in the season. In
such situations, If stock be kept out,
1t makes a dense, uniform growth and
attains a height of IS to 25 inches.
Leaves are produced in abundance and
the head-like cluster of spikelets are
so richly supplied with large plump
seeds that it is an easy matter to col
lect quartz of them by hand in a few
hours. Though the seeds are retained
by this plant most remarkably well yet
none are more easily thrashed out and
cleaned than this.
To secure perpetual returns from
land so thoroughly filed with alkali
as to be worthless as regards other
crops seems more than possible if seed
ed to this. Being an %herbaceous per-
ennial of the most persistent character
it should maintain itself indefinitely
where it is once introduced. Each

ROBERTS LAST soUAwK.
What the Utah Polygamist Thinks of
the Situation.

hours last night on his way to Salt
Lake. Mr.. Roberts was accompanied
by his daughter
81 am on my way home to Salt
Lake said Mr.. Roberts. mo, 1 can't
say that my fight to establish my right
to seat in congress is over, for in
tend to consult my lawyers and see if
the matter cannot be brought before
the supreme court. of the United
States. l shall probably sue for the
emoluments of the office to which I
was elected by the state of Utah, as
cannot sue for the seat in congress
very well after being barsrd out by
that body which is the sole judge of
its membership"
When reminded of the report that
the governor cf Utah would call a
special election to Gil the vacancy
caused by the unseating of Mr.. Rob-
erts. the latter said:
81 have heard of that, but have no
definite knowledge that such action
Will be taken. No. don't think 1
would try for reelection, in case a
special election was held, for the result
at Washington doubtless would be the
same. I am confident my constituents
would support me, however, as they
elected me by majority of 5000, hav-
ing full knowledge Of the charges
which have since been brought against
me. 1 am satisfied the people OF Utah
are with me In this matter.
1t is my opinion that congress has
a dangerous precedent in
banng out a representative eletced by
the people"

he proposed to send 800 more from

tnat some former army officers and
surgeons have gone because they have

tell you their names. These are the
statements l make TO all inquiries and
there are many of them.
First. any person wishing to go to
South Africa must do so as private
Individual. as there is no one in this
country authorized to enlist or send
men from the United States to South
.\frlea.
Second, no money has been appro-
priated for the purpose of sending men
to South Africa.
Third, any person desiring to go to
South Africa must do so at his own
exrense. The cost from New York to
South Africa is about $500, 1t would be
advisable Cor every person going out
there to take an additional $500 or $500
to provide for any possible contin-
gencles that might arise after arriving
there,
