LAND VALUES.

In North Dakota the demand
for farm lands is phenomenal and
prices are very stiff. Sales are
noted everyday, many quarter Sec
tions selling at $4,000.
The farmers are not the only
ones looking for land. Spectators
are watching every chance to pick
up pieces of land that are for sale
or that will likely be in the near
future. 1t is patent fact, also,
that the spectators are willing to
pay from 800 to 5000 more per
quarter section than are the far
mers themselves. This is the re-
suit of the growing scarcity OF
land. Spectators know that it is
but a question of few years when
farm lands will be very hard to OBJ
tain, and that prices will have q
steady upward tendency from this
time forward. This fact the spec
ulators thoroughly appreciate, as
do some Of the farmers. Many of
them, however, do not realize how
valuable their land really is.

THE POOR HORSES.

Since the war began in South
Africa over 100000 head of horses
and mules have been sent there,
and 10000 of them went from the
United States. They were shipped
from New Orleans, and the voy-
took 40 days, during which the
tropic heat killed many. Those
that got through were 30 used up
as to be fit for only 8 weeks SER
vice.
People can imagine the suffer-
ing of those poor animals. South
Africa is strewn with their car
cases. Little care seems to have
been taken with their transport
from the ports. They were car
ried on the Natal train going up
to the front in ordinary trucks,
which were not supplied with food
or water either at the terminous or
intermediate stations. The result
was that many of those horses not
lamed or kicked to death were
practically useless from starvation
when they reached the front. They
gnawed the woodwork of the
trucks in their desperate hunger.

THE HOG.

His legs perform a function not
known to amp other animal, and
that is an escape pipe or pipes for
the discharge of water, matter or
sweat not used in the economy of
the body, says the Western Swine
herd. These escape pipes are sit
usted about the middle of the legs,
above and below the knee in the
fore leg. and above the gambrel
joint in the hind legs, bat in the
latter they are very small and the
functions light. Upon the inside
of the fore legs they are, in
healthy hog, always active, so that
moisture is always there from
about and below these orifces or
ducts. The holes in the legs and
the breathing of the hog are his
principal and only means of eject
ing heat above the normal, and
when very warn the hog will open
his mouth and breathe through
that channel as well as his nostrils.
The horse can perspire through
all the pores of its body, same as a
man, and cattle do the same to a
limited extent, but the hog never.
His escape valves are confined to
the orifices upon the inside of his
legs. People often wonder why it
IS that the hog dies SO quickly
when he runs rapidly or takes viz
lent exercise by fighting. But if
they consider the few escape pipes,
their small capacity and remote
ness from the cavity where the heat
is generated, the wonder is not
that he dies quickly when over
heated, but that he lives as long as
be does when heated up.

GATHERING GOLD.

The average mind will utterly
fail to grasp the significance OF
the statement that 46i tons of vir-
gin gold wac received at the Seat
tie assay Office during the year of
1900, says the North vest Magazine.
1t is easy for a common mortal
to arrive at accurate conclusions
respecting ton of coal, but when
the term is applied to gold the
mind wanders vaguely and mental
computations fail one completely.
Yellow gold-461 tons of gold
nuggets and dust rihed from north
ern creeks and rivers and lodges
within one years time! Seven
teen million dollars worth came
from the klondike; nearly S5,o00,-
600 came from Alaska-of which
the Cape Nome district furnished
about S4,00O,000; and S667 900
came from the British Columbia
camps. The total assay value Of
all these tons is So OBS, ,775. The
gold would really* occupy but an
insignificant tloorsge space in any
warehouse. yet ones first concep-
ton of it assumes pyramidical pro-
portions. An ounce nugget held
in the hand seems larger than a
pound potato, and a ton of the
precious metal is magnitied into
wealth incalculable.

A COMING ISSUE.

II the internal history Of the
American Republic is studied care
fully, the conclusion will be
reached tnat national irrigation,
properly wrought out, is likely to
shortly come TO the front as one OF
the most important issues OF the
dav. 1t embodies, in its truest
sense. the question of home-build-
ing. and the American people have
been. up to the present time, es-
sertially nation Of home-build-
ers. In no country in the world ls
the desire for home-bullbing so
strong. The wish to own and have
and live in homes has led thou
sands Of Americans to endure trials
and hardships, and brave dangers
beyond conception. This control
ling wish Of the American people
has conquered a continent. The
hardy pioneer, with his family and
his earthly belongings slowed
away in bis wagon looking for a
home. has accomplished this. The
locomotive has only followed the
prairIe schooner.
Irrigated lands, now wasting, are
going to furnish millions Of homes
10 the future. for there are 1000
900 acres of rich western land ca
pable of irrigation If the western
waters sre properly conserved.
Irrigation is not an experiment
in the United States, and there is
no question raised as 10 the feasi-
bility Of this reclamation, but irri-
cation development in a private
way has reached its limits. But,
since under irrigation, yields are
very large, a few acres Of this land
would generously support family,

raj homes would be provided tor

BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.

Chief Joseph, the Nez Perce,
wants to be elected chief OF the
Cayusc Indians on the Umatilla
reservation because in descent he
j. halt Cayuse.
Joseph can we'll afford to keep
quiet and hide bis light under a
buebel lie has had a pretty fine
time for several years while living
the farce Of being held as host
age ON Moses reservation.
The Nez Pc.ce war was caused
hy the dominant white race crowd
ing their stock onto ranges claimed
by the Indians, and many innocent
lives were sacrificed, among them
Mrs, Manuel and her little babe at
their home in White Bird canyon.
4 man who has lived for years
among the Nez Perces, before and
after their war, who now lives in
Portland. and understands their
language, says that he knows posi-
lively that Joseph plunged his
nurderous knife into Mrs. Man
uel's breast, when, in repelling his
advances she had slapped him in
the face, and one of Joseph's close
tillicum Indians then dashed out
on the stove the brains of Mrs.
Nanuels baby. Then the fends
burned the house and consumed
the bodies of mother and child.
Jack Manuel. the husband and
father, had been left for dead near
by, and his little girl who escaped
told Of the horrors at the house as
well as she could with the part of
the tongue the tiends had not cut
of, and her story was afterwards
confirmed by Indians who had
been present.
1t Is reasonable to suppose, as
these butchers claim, that they
were full of the white mans fire.
water when these horrors hap
pened.
The Nez Perces went to war on
account of the taking from them
the rights in the Wallows valley.
These rights were imaginary, for
Joseph's father had signed them
away to the government years be-
fore.
The Nez Perces lett a bloody
trail along their 1900-mile retreat,
and conducted an able campaign,
out-traveling the soldiers because |
they had dozen horses where the |
soldiers had one. and in fact most /
of the soldiers had to walk the |
1900 miles, while the Indians had .
fresh mounts every day.
The Indians say that much of
the credit Of the campaign which /
was due to White Bird and Look
ing-Glass went to Joseph, and that
he was very much over-rased.
Men who have had every facili-
" to test the truth of the matter
say that there K an innocent white
woman's blood on Joseph's hands,
and therefore he ha. good reason
to be content with his easy life of
retirement instead of aspiring to
become chief of the great Ceyuse
nation. Of which Cash-Cash is Sd
upright representative, and one
who has rendered the government
good soldier service under Lieut. I
Farrow and Gen Howard.

The majority of the plants that are

they are unpalatable to any animal.

the sheep.
The tall larkspur, so far as the ex-
perts from the agricultural departmen,
observed, does not grow on the plains
in any part of Montana, and is toe
coarse to be eaten by sheep during the
| season from July to October.
The sheep owners have found by ex.
perience that these mountain ranges,
which are so dangerous for sheep dur
ing the early summer, are quite safe
from July to September inclusive. Th,
safety OF the mountain ranges, how
ever, is somewhat affected by th.
presence of species of lupines. These
plants are poisonous during certain
stages and especially when containing
ripe seeds.
Sheep seldom eat lupine on tn,
range during midsummer. If, how
ever, they eat it when the seeds ar.
ripe, it invariably causes disaster
After the early fall frost the pods rap
idly open and the seeds fall upon the
ground. After this period the plants
may be eaten with impunity by sheer
or other animals.
Where salt is wanting stock more
readily eat noxious plants than wher
they are receiving it in regularly suit
able quantities.

ROUNDUP OF RUSTLERS.
Stock Inspector Billy Smith and Posse Take
Haul,

Monday morning it was reported
that killing had taken place near
" ibaux. The following special to the
Billings Gazette gives the matter in
detail:
Excitement over the capture of an
alleged gang of horse thieves and the
killing of one of their number contin-
ues at fever heat.
1t has been known for some time
that horses and cattle were being
stolen from the ranges by wholesale,
and determined etfo-ts were put forth
to detect the guilty parties. Sheriffs
Goodall of Stark county, Falls of
Billings county and Kennedy Of Daw-
son county, Montana, assisted by a
Montana stock inspector, w. d. Smith
and the following deputies, Geo. Trim
bic, ]. Brown, Bill Chandler and Ed.
Stone, formed a posse which made a
raid on the supposed rendezvous of the
thieves, 90 miles northeast of Wibaux,
resulting in the arrest of B. J. Chap
pell, Jack Mcdonald, John Jones. and
the killing of Jack McCarty, alias
"Jim McPeak.' The latter refused
to surrender when ordered to and the
posse opened fire. McCarty's horse
was riddled with bullets, and he re-
ceived a wound which caused his
death.
The body was brought here and in
TERED todaay. McCarty was one of the
most desperate men on the range and
sent word to the sheriff that he would
not be taken alive. He made good his
word.
The arrest of Chappell is a great
surprise. He is we'll known in both
Montana and Dakota and considered
wealthy. Nc Donald was formerly Il
deputy sheriff Of Dawson county; Mont
ana. and the death watch of Hurst,
who was hung at Glendive last year.
Chappcll and Jones deposited 81. 900
cash bail and were released today.
