Several of our readers have been lndulgng
their propensity for criticism since the last
issue of this paper. 1t has been charged
gainst US that we wrote q lot of arrant nom
sense in the item wherein the statement was
made that in certain sections Of Italy hall
storms have been shot and killed. There 's
nothing but the truth covered by that state.
ment: upon the apprCac of storm Clouds
threatening hail. in the great grape produc'
ing states of Italy, they fire heavy charges OF
a high explosive into the air, from pcculi.
arly built, odd shaped gun; the theory is that
by the explosion a certain upward and rots-
ry motion is impaired to the air under the
approaching storm cloud, which motion IN.
creases In volume of air affected, as 1t rises,
until it gains sufficient power to break up the
conditions essential TO hailstorm, 1t may
be said that one of natures most imposing
and destructive manifestations, the cyclone,
has, by man, been successfully turned
against itself.
This but illustrates the possibilities OF sci
entific attainment during the coming century;
statements of much greater seeming aburdity
than that hailstorms have been shCt and kill
ed, will come to be accepted as not extraor
dinsry happenings of every day life and such
as keep abreast the time may almost contin
ally enjoy themselves by springng seemingly
absurd and impossible propositions.

A few weeks ago we stated that the Presi-
dent had appointed Mr.. A. r Appleman, a
former resi- tent OF this place, U. s. Appraiser
of Lands in the Indian Territory. We are
in receipt of private letter from Mr.. Ap-
pleman, dated Emet, l. IT,. Dec 18th, 1900,
from which we publish the following ex-
tracts
DEAR CARL i am here appraising In.
din huds This is one of the finest sections
of country ever saw. have been through
the North and through Canada; through the
North. west as far as the Big Horn country,
and West through Nevada. Montana, Utah,
and through the states East and South, but
never saw such fine country as this, in
which can be grown cotton, wheat, corn,
oats, rye, &c, aud where cattle grow and fat
ten on cotton oil cakes.
This Is the country for the young men of
the East to become rich and the women to
find husbands. 1fyou could send car load
of your Maryland girls from IL to 90 years
of age to Muskagee, l. r., they could all find
husbands within six months. Men are GO
ing around asking where to find wives. This
morning farmer came into the barber shop
here and asked the proprietor If he knew
where he could Hnd PCod Wile llat cOulu
keep house. He said he had fine farm and
had sold $1100 worth of cotton, that he had
400 cattle and three children, but not wife.
He said he WAS going to Muskagee, lbO miles
from here, to hunt a wife
All that Mr.. Appleman says above may be
true, but we don't believe tne inducements
held out will cause an exodus from Middle
town valley, especially among the girls and
maidens, - Valley Register.

After great dea of talk the building of a
railway from the upper lake region to Hud
son Bay has finally been undertaken. Ground
was broken less than 4 months ago, and al
ready something like 80 miles has been COM
pleted aud put in operation. The line starts
runs nearly northward and will be over 500
miles in length. Its name, the Algoma Cen
tral, is derived from the county through
which large part of the route lies. The
Province of Ontario has literally encour.
aged the enterprise by grants of land, but
most of the capital required has been sup.
piled by Americans.
One of the objects Of this scheme is to open
a through route to Europe by way of the
Arllc Ocean for the shipment of grain.
Another Is the building of considerable towns
in what is now vast wilderness. Both of
these plans require time for their realization.
But the road is yielding considerable rev.
enue from the very start by opening up
particularly rich timber lands
