CENSUS. I:


CENSUS RETURNS FROM NORTH
DAKOTA & ARE NEARLY. ALL IN
AND WILL SOON BE PUBLISHED.
The census returns from North Da-
kota have nearly all been returned to
the census department, and the CEN
sus of the northwestern states of Min
5nesota, the Dakotas and Iowa will be
among the first given publicity. There
is a good deal of interest in the state
as to what the totals will show
whether they will entit1e the state to
an additional congressman. It is
thought the figures for Bismarck will
show a count of about $500, an increase
of about sixty per cent over the last
census

RETURNED KLoNDIKERs.

Wahpeton Globe: CLAUS Olson, Al
bion Sjoquist and Toby Hallum of
Dwight, returned Monday morning
from Cape Nome, Alaska, where. they
went in search of gold several months
ago. The stories they have to tell
are not very encouraging for those who
think that all they have to do in
Alaska is to scoop up golden pellets,
and will deter others from going.
% They went directly to the city of
Nome, and when they landed they were
astonished at the number of people
living there. The city has about 5O,-
900 inhabitants who live in all kinds
OF style, Tents, board and mud
shacks, dug outs and stone and iron
buildings furnish shelter for the mot
ley crowd, and poor provisions at a
big price is the rule. Z Is
s5 They found the beach of gold bear
ing sand was taken up for fifty males
on both sides of the city, and that the
only place for a new conner was to go
inland. i Owing to the low water in
the streams, they could not use boats
and horses could not be secured, so
they went to work for some of the early
settlers, who had secured good claims,
and were paid from eight to ten dollars
per day. They saw lots of gold and
brought back a number of fine speci-
mems to show their friends. Nearly
all the sand in that vicinity was
washed over last year and all the
larger nuggets taken out. This year
the miners are again working the same
sand, and, with improved machinery,
are securing all the small particles that
could not; be gathered with the primi-
tive machines and pans. MS
Some of the nuggets they brought
back are larger than an ordinary pea,
and they say it was not uncommon to
find nuggets as large as walnuts,
There was a great deal of sickness at
Nome, owing to the poor sanitary con
ditions, and a disease resembling pneu-
monia had broken out among the ma
tive Esquimaux Indians. Inc disease
was fatal in nearly every case, and the
gentlemen thought it would practically
exterminate the natives. Many white
men were also victims and very few
recovered. E.s s.G .5 s.S
Owing to the presence of this
disease and the fact that the long win
ter was beginning the gentlemen de-
Scided they would return to Gods
country. /" without prosecuting their
search for wealth further. They are
out about, $3.50 each on their trip but
think it money well expended. Hem

Harry Bringhurst sends the Tribune
a copy Of the Seattle Post -Intelligen-
Ger with an account Of the arrival of
the steamer Centennial from Cape
Nome. The account says
The steamship Centennial, Capt. J..
G.. Eagles, master, arrived from Cape
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and
tied up at Schwabacker's wharf She
left Nome August ., and had on board
sol passengers and about $11O,OOO in
gold dust OF this amount 100000
was consigned to the Scandinavian
American bank, and a smaller sum to
the Northwest Commercial Company
owners of the Centennial Very few
Of the passengers had money, and
forty-fve of them worked their way
down.
A busy scene followed the arrival
of the Centennial at her dock. Many
OF the passengers were reluctant to
part even with the camp stools they
used in Nome, and had them checked
along with their other baggage. One
transfer company alone inside OF an
hour had taken charge Of more than
500 pieces of baggage; most OF it was
outfits used at Nome and brought back
to the city. Many of the passengers
were sorely disheartened and discour-
aged, and several freely expressed their
estimate of the camp as whole. Their
remarks were not at all fiattering to
Nome.
The long looked-for rainfall at
Nome, according to the Centennial's
passengers, began on August 3, just
after terrible windstorm. Mining
operations are expected to begin on a
large scale at once, and it is reported
that many of the working mines are
already employing extra help. The
streets of Nome are now full of mud

and travel is becoming more difficult
daily. The general health of the
camp is improving, although some of
the Centennials passengers think the
rain will cause an epidemic of typhoid.
No cases of smallpox existed at the
time of the Centennial's sailing, and
the quarantine between Nome and SIT.
Michaels had been raised Pneumonia
was quite prevalent, and more was ex-
pected. The Nome arrivals say that
the fact that so many steamers are
being chartered by the government as
transports will make a difference to
those who. want to get out of the camp.
The general belief there is the govern
ment will have to come to the aid of

SEED CORN.
A Test OF It's Ability to Grow Under
.--zL Ord iI,a Erfald ford an q $3.50

a Test OF It's ABILITY to Grow Under
Ordinary Field Conditions.
It will not be a great while until the
corn grower of the west ought to be
providing his stock of seed corn. There
are men who profess to be able to se-
lect seed corn SO that every grain will
grow" without testing it, but there are
very few who can afford to rely upon
selection alone and omit a test. They
may think they can, but that is only
because they have never tried their
ability under exact test conditions
that is, they have never planted well
tested seed by the side of that which
had been selected merely and noted the
different results. In view of these
facts the Iowa Homestead affirms that
every corn grower should test, as well
as select with care, the seed he pur-
poses to use, and, as to the manner Of
the test, it advises as follows:
There is a disposition among those
who test their seed corn to do it in the
easiest Way-that is to say. between
wet cloths, under carefully chosen and
exceptionally favorable conditions. But
what the corn planter desires to know
is not what per cent of the grains will
germinate under the most favorable
conditions, but rather what per cent
will not only put forth vigorous roots,
but vigorous plant under field condi-
tions. Testing between vet cloths in
pan will show great many more
grains terminating than win ever
ms 10 ha4 49,
to grow as a part Of the field stand.
In testing, therefore, an effort should
be made to give an approximation to
field conditions.
AS means to this end we would
suggest that a shallow box should be
procured large enough to contain the
seed to be tested. Put into it couple
of inches of soil, well puiyerized, place
the seed upon this sufficiently thick,
taking care to count the seeds, and
then cover with, say, two inches more
of the soil. Keep the soil moist in the
box in terminating temperature. The
seed should come up in from five to ten
days, eight days being about the aver
age If there be no forcing conditions
supplied. Before making up ones mind
as to the vigor of the seed the plants
should be permitted to grow an inch or
two in height. By that time the OBJ
server can form good opinion Of the
percentage Of the seed that will grow,
and grow vigorously.
After these have been counted, If the
experimenter will examine the seeds
yet in the ground he will find that
considerable number of them have put
forth rootlets, but lack vigor sufficient
to make plants. In an ordinary wet
cloth test in pan these grains would
be counted good when, in fact, for the
conditions in which the seed corn Is in
tended to grow they are not good at
all-no better, in fact, than those that
did not even germinate. It is reasons
Of this kind that render 1t necessary to
make the earth test under conditions
as near like those Of the field as possi-
BILE, rather than to rely upon a me;
pan test between cloths.

The Hard Lot of the Grindstone.

The grindstone on the farm sees
pretty hard usage. The softer the
stone, the harder usage it receives. The
grinding surface Of the stone is more
likely to be as shown at the left Of the
cut than it is to have an even face or
slightly beyeied surface, as at the right
in the same picture. The former con-
dition comes from grinding axes,
scythes, machine knives, ETC., with
their edges lengthwise Of the stone in
stead of across it. This cannot be
helped in grinding some tools. But
when the stone does assume this
shape, making it impossible to grind a
chisel or any fiat edged tool decently,
1t is good time to get spade spades
are usually dull-and hold it on the
stone until it is sharp, when the irregu-
larities in the surface of the stone will
