TELEGRAPH POLE
BY EXPRESS
Shipped to London, England, by Howe d
Polk.

A telegraph pole, one would think, is
the last article in the world that an ex-
press company would undertake to
handle, yet such, and an iron pole at
that is what Howe & Polk, of this city,
yesterday shipped to New York by the
United States Express company. The
pole is full sized one, skeleton in form,
known as the Electric Tripartite steel
pole, the sole manufacture of which is
in the hands of Howe & Polk. The
pole is sample consigned to Oliver
" ethered Swithen s Lane, London,
England In order to catch one of the
outgoing steamers it was necessary to
make the best possible time between
this city and New York, hence the ship
ment was made by express.
The first of these poles was manufact-
ured at Howe 81 Polk 8 last Summer and
it will be remembered that this paper
last August contained a write-up
giving description of the pole, which
is 80 to 80 feet in length, consisting of 8
bars of ''U'' iron 2 by 2t inches fasten-
ed together by seven spreaders or collars.
The pole is the invention of G. V. A.
Conger, of New York. When the :rti
Gle in question was printed the fi:sy pole

this city
During August and September several
of the Tripartite steel poles. less than
half a dozen. were sent out as samples.
They were everywhere received with
favor and pronounced superior TO the
tubular form of metal pole the kind
heretofore in use. Orders soon began to
come in and during October and Nov
ember poles have been manufactured
AMI shipped away by the carload. There
seems no doubt but that Mr.. Conger's
will supersede every other
form of metal pole and that the manu-
facture will crowd Howe & Polk with
work and bring their plant into promi-
nence.
In addition to the installing of safety
water tube boilers Howe & Polk have
other improvements on foot looking to
the comfort and protection Of their en-
ployes. A large shed under which such
work may be done as is usually perform
ed out of doors is approaching compile
ton. The shed is 40x45 feet aud will
afford shelter for large force Of work
men.

NEW SPIRIT FOR
THE NEW AGE
Fine Lecture by Rev, G, Ii. Klepfer in
Y. M. @. a. Hall,

The lecture of Rev. g. NJ. Klepfer on
the subject of the New Spirit for the
New Age delivered in Y. NJ. c. A. hall
on Tuesday evening was an interest
ing discourse, revealing a breadth of
view and fund of information concern.
ing things present and past that were
quite remarkable. Rev. Klepfer is a
pleasing speaker and the lecture Tues
day was delivered in his happiest style.
Many beautiful illustrations were en-
ployed and many fine thoughts advanc-
ed as he portrayed the greatness of the
present age and tried to conceive a prop
er spirit for it.
We should consider it a privilege he
said, to live at the present time-the
great golden age Of human history,
whose features are all new and not du-
plicated by any period of the past The
speaker very entertainingly dwelt upon
the amazing progress of the past cent
ury, the multiplicity of inventions and
the development of industry. when
things not dreamed of by our ancestors
have become the very necessities of life.
We should by no means disparage the
past, he said, the age of thought and
struggle out of which our own has
grown, just as our own time is the
Kindergarten age of the still greater
epoch of the worlds history that is yet
to dawn, when God shall work out
His great plan for the redemption of the
whole race. We should esteem it
privilege to live in this great age of
preparation.
He paid fine tribute TO Americas
greatness as a nation, to American in
tellect and progress in learning. Our
mission, he said, is to blaze the path
along which other nations may tread
out of the shadows into Gods greater
day.
Owing to the snow which made walk.
ing difficult, the audience present was
much smaller than it otherwise would
have been.

WHAT THE YEARS HAVE
PROVED.

In speaking Of the prophesies that
were made not many years ago-the
letter of General Hazen being still
fresh in the mind of many old time
Bismarckers-who recall that he said
North Dakota was desert land-unit
for agriculture-the Minneapolis Times
says: n
Within the memory of men now liv-
ing oraeles have said that farming
would newer pay in the region now
known as North Dakota. It was ex-
planned by men who assumed to know
that that section was a bleak and bar
rem waste, with a soil too poor for the
grains and a climate SO severe that
neither man nor beast could flourish
there. 1T was admitted that a few
cattle could be raised along the
streams, but even for that business op-
portunities We're better further south.
How shortsighted these w~iseacres
were is evidenced by the fine farms and
splendid crops of the North Dakota Of
today. Famous for it's hard wheat,
the state is not content to rest its pros
perity on that grain alone. Farmers
are diversifying their crops and not
the least valuable of their present pro-
ducts is fax. In districts along the
500 in the western part of the state
where not very long ago cattle raising
was believed to be the only industry
possible, farmers are raising fax at
the rate of eighteen to t~wenty-one
bushels to the acre and getting rich at
the business. The total flax crop of
North Dakota is more than fifty per
cent of the entire yield of the entire
United States, amounting to 100000
bushels and bringing $40, 900 into
the state. The aggregate fax yield of
the United States is about 2s,Os0, 600

. SCORED FOR Y

Court Commissioner M: j.. Cochran.
formerly an attorney at Cape Nome,
was one of the witnesses before the
circuit court at San Francisco in the
contempt case against Judge Moves.
Cochran threw some different light
upon the doings of the Lane crowd at
Nome, and gave testimony substan-
TALLY as follows: ."s~~E r.: 49,
Cochran. told how the country had
been located: He had five years ex-
perience in mining in Alaska aud knew
the difficulties and conditions. He
had found that all of the claims on
Anvil creek had been discovered and
located on the same day. In his trips
over the Nome country he discovered
the names OF Lindblom, Lindeberg,
Bryuston and Olson, Kittleson and
others, everywhere. These men had
staked the whole country regardless
of the law. It seemed as if Sweden
broke loose at Nome"
"FTom one days search Of records he
knew that twenty-six claims had been
staked by six lei on n day. But
this was not remarkable considering
the methods. Lindeberg would load
up a dog sled with stakes and then go
as far as the dog team could travel or
that day, throwing the stakes out as
he went along. H.
"Cochran's story of the doings at
Nome before Noyes' arrival in August,
1900, was q story Of conspiracy and
raseality in which the Lane crowd and
Swedes we're the aggressors. It was
the impression ait Nome, and Cochran
knew: from personal experience, that
the Lane crowd, controlled the mill
baGy authorities and could get their
services to Dust people from claims or
town lots. Charlie Braslan was the
man who controlled the military. In
a talk with Captain French one day,
French told Cochran that he always
took action in the complaints, as the
lawyers we're always making mistakes.
Cochran said it was common report at
Nome that money could buy the mill
tary. Cochran's testimony painted
! Nelson, jackson and. Hatch, Johnson
and other attorneys at Nome in black
colors. - = -. -%." ..
sfIt was Noyes' day to score, and
through Cochran's testimony, he
talked right ait the Lane crowd Of law
yers, and they were manifestly ill at
ease under. his structures. i Cochran
stated that Lane and his crowd, who
controlled the military, had used their
influence at Washington to beat the
Carter code for Alaska, which gave
the town the right to organize. This
law took away from soldiers the run
ming Of things. which Lane did not
want" ~.
