reephed to this by saying the State was

the State to get the unscrupulous bar.

Various questions were asked the
speaker. One that caused grcatest
laughter in the reply it got vas "Do
you think the dispensary law could be
worked here in New York ?" ono"
Mr. Illlman replied, 81 do not think
you nave civic virtue and patriotic
spirit enough to adopt the law in New

Minister WI, recently made in Chi
cago. 1t IS replete with wisdom and
Rood sense. We cannot hope and we
should not wish to break down the
civilization of China upon which is
based a pollty, society and religion the
slow growth of 900 years. TO do SO
is to destroy tn, empire in the attempt
TO suddenly thrust upon herr western
civilization for which her people are
not prepared. All we can hope to do
is to vitalize this old civilization with
western ideas, science and inventive
genius, thus making it more potential
In material achievements. his coun-
try has lone well to use every eff
fort by the benign influence of it's
political and commercial power to pre-.
serve the identity of the empire md
the integrity of its civilization. Under
this policy, it is reasonable to expect
China to become tho constantly ex-
panding market for our products and
as gradually her interior is fully de-
velOped by a network of railroads and
all of her cities opened up to foreign
commerce, the opportunities are almost
without limit. The South now CON
trolls most of this trade, aud with such
development in the near future 1t
should increase tenfold.
g We are no longer a purely agricul-
tural section, but mining, and manu-.
featuring and kindred interests have
sprung into prominence and demand |
governmental policies to protect and |
develop them. a statesmanship so |
partisan in its character as to adhere |
to old political doctrines, either settled |
by the arbitrament of the sword or
firmly liked as governmental policies,
cannot solve the political and economic
problems now confronting the South
ern people. Such statesmanship can
not properly interpret present ccono-
nic movements, nor provide by aggres-
'ive and progressive thought for the
'adically changed conditions now con-
ronting u.s."

There are about 200 flowing wells
In South Dakota, about forty of which
furnish over 900 gallons per minute,
and one eight inches in diameter fur
nlshcs over four times that amount.
The great majority are two inches or
less in diameter. OF such some town
ships have over thirty. The larger
ones outside of towns are intended for
irrigation and have produced excellent
results. Physicians remark the fact
that sickness has greatly diminished
wherever Arteslan waters have come
into use. The waters contain inQre-
dients valuable for enriching the soil.

Booker II. Washington says that
the colored graduates of Tuskeegce,
Ala, have raised over $50 bushels of
sweet potatoes from an acre of ground
in the same locality where the un-
educated colored man raises less than
so bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Washington attributes the great
difference in the crops to the know
ledge of the chemistry cf the soil
which the educated negro has acquired.

The State Lands.

The state board of land commissioners
met on the 18th inst, and heard argu-
ments for and against the leasing of the
state lands, reserving its decision, which
will proba bly, be given mex week. 1t
appears that 205,20l acres of school
lands acquired by the state under vari-
Gus grants are now leased by private in
dividuals and companies. of whom the
following hold the largest leases:
Martinsdale Sheep Co., 1878 acres;
Chamberlain Sheep Co. 16,038 acres; Fl.
H. Nelson Sheep Co.. 1929 acres; Long,
and Jameson, 26,801 acres; Bower Bros.
3d. 1856 acres; Sun River L. & J.. S. Co.,
24.897 acres; Simon Pepion, 12,490 acres;
Smith Bros, 13,399acres; Mcnamara and
NARROW, 34,747 acres; j. P. Woolman,
1882 acres.
The enabling Act which was passed
by Congress and admitted Montana as a
state, granted thousands of acres of land
to the new state for educational pur-
poses, and fixed the minimum selling
price at $40 per acre, providing that
such lands could be leased but that no
enc person or company should be allow
ed to lease more than one section. The
largest lease mentioned above covers
more than "a sections and consequently
