many acres in so many hours. and
there is little variation from this.
In all this steam power farming the
fuel problem comes in for not little
consideration. Primarily it does not
determine whether steam power shall
take the place Of horse power on the
big farms, but incidentally it does af.
feet the cost and method of work. In
abundant and cheap, the fuel problem
scarcely affects the question at all,
but as we penetrate to the Far West,
where coal Is scarce, the cost Of har'

fornia the cost is relatively lower.
There oil is used as fuel, and
California petroleum Is notoriously
cheap and abundant. 1t has come to
be the favOrite fuel with the farmers
who operate the steam traction en-
gines and harvesters.
In the great wheat fields of the
Northwest, where coal is relatively
scarce attempts have been made to
utilize the grain stalks as fuel. These
are naturally too soft and indamma-

ural state. A bundle of the dried

treat them in some way so that the

lily. Several attempts have been made
to use the grain stalks for fuel by
soaking them, and then compressing
them into small compact brick forms.
In these experiments some sort Of
binder has been found necessary.
Pitch, tar and different kinds Of soil
have been mixed with the wet stalks,
and when hydraullcally pressed into
shape some excellent results have been
obtained. The stalks have also been
cooked with steam, and then pressed
together with some sort of binder.
After all, the cost Of fuel for the
steam power machinery is no greater
than the cost Of food and bedding for
the horses. Recently this was figured
out, one traction engine representing
twenty-five horses, and the balance
was considerably in favor of the ma
chine. In considering the relative diff
ference between the two, 1t must be
remembered that while the horses
must BE fed the year round the fuel
for the engines is needed only during
the short planting and harvesting sea-
sons. When the crops are planted or
harvested the engines require no more
fuel Considering the short season
when work is rushed on the farm. this
should place n heavy balance in favor
of steam over horse power for farm
ing on large or cooperative scale

MARCUs-REPUnLIC ROUTE.
surveyors Have Run Three Lines
and No Selection Is Made.


From Western reports it seems that
great activity IS being displayed in the
matter Of locating the route of the
Narcus-Republic branch Of the Great
Northern:
FOR weeks surveying parties have been
running preliminary and location lines
Long the Kettle River valley, beyond the
boundary, and on into Republic camp.
or these parties there are three. One
IS under the personal supervision of Mr..
Taylor; another headed by Mr.. Hughes;
j third in charge of Alr Pollard. Until
within few days the party in charge Of
Taylor has been located at the mouth of
Kettle river about three miles northwest
OF Marcus. Hughes party has been at
Halls ferry, some twenty-four miles I'D
the stream. Polard's party is beyond
Republic.
The first OF last week Taylor and party
were instructed to go to Curlew, and
Hughes and party ordered to return to
Marcus. There have been no orders is
sued, so far as known, regarding the
party under Pollard. These three par
ties are under the general management
or Engineer Baldwin. The two parties
working along the Kettle River
valley have been taking the
kinks out of the already To-
Gated line. Curves have been reduced
to straight lines, the distance shortened
and other Improvements made. This has
been accomplished n some instances only
after repeated surveys, made to de-
.ertAine the shortest and most prac-
ucable line. The line from the north
sank of the Columbia clear through to
Republic has been located, subject, of
course, to more or less notifications.

The proceedings were private.
The prosecuting authorities are not
expecting a serious delay in disposing of
the case. They have need of haste. as
they cannot keep their most important

that he cannot remain after the middle
