at which Northern Pacific sold to-day were

seems to be that $500 represents about the

The strong rally in the stock during the
latter part Of the day did not serve to en-
tirely alleviate the nervous fears prevalent
In the Wall street district. Rumors were
very persistent that many prominent houses
had been compromised to-day by the slump
in prices. All of these specific rumors were
emphatically denied on the direct authority
of the parties affected. But so violent
collapse In prices as occurred to-day neces-
sarily involves enormous losses somewhere.
The extent Of the decline was far in ex-
cess OF the ordinary margin demanded by
brokers. which is 10 per cent, indicating that
they were unable to save themselves from
considerable losses.
The situation was still felt to be sufficient

Soil 36 Feet Deep.

J.J. McCanna of TOwner County,
one of the big farmers in the northern
part of the state, was enroute to Bis
marck yesterday. Mr.. McCanna is
the enterprsing farmer who, in dry
season several years ago sowed the
bed of Lake Irvine, near his place into
grain crops and got an,enormous yield.
The next fall the experiment was a
failure on account of too much water.
In digging well in the bed of the
lake he found the same kind OF sur
face soil 36 feet down, being the vast
ings of the soil from the Turtle Noun
tain region for centuries. There are
about 2 feet of water in the lake at
present and if it were drained, would
make farm whose soil would be
practically ineXhaustable.
Flax went from 10 to Is bushels to
the acre and wheat was fair yield
also in Towner county owing to local
rains after July 4.

Deaf and Dumb School.

From the fifth biennial report pre-.
seRted by Supt. BangsItO the governor
some interesting facts are learned re-
garding the deaf and dumb school at
Devils Lake. The report covers the
period beginning July l, 1898, and end
ing June 30. 1900. The total expenses
for the two years is given as S46, 357.3s,
which sum includes the cost of the
new school building, the putting in
of a sewerage system and heating
plant. Supt. Bangs thinks improve
ments to the amount of $2l, 800 should
be made. He estimates that $37, 400
will be needed for the running ex-
penses of the institution for the two
years beginning April l, 1901 and end
ing March 30, 1908.
OF the tifty-nine enrolled twenty
seven were boys and thirtyt two were
girls. Twenty-three counties of the
state had representatives, as follows:

The truth of the statements of Miss
Barry to her brother have not as yet
been investigated but probably will be

pend the fate Of VIM. Barry her
brother. 1t is stated that much feel
ing EXISTS in Milton and Cavalier
County against Barry and there are
many who believe that he should have
hesitated before committing murder
en- the strength of the statements
made by his insane sister. The affair
is looked upon as a cold-blooded mur-
der by citizens generally and it may
be that an example will be made Of
Barry to check the tendency to mur-
der, SO prevalent of late in North Da-
kota, under the plea of temporary in
sanity.

n. P. LANDS SOLD
Reports That Eastern Capitalists
Close a Big Deal.

One of the biggest land transactions
occurring in the state, is the sale of
all the unsold Northern Pacific lands
east of the Missouri river to a compa-
ny of New York and eastern capital
lists: 1t is said the deal has been
closed with the officers of the road,
and only awaits the approval of the
directors. The price is not given, but
it is said that the day of 'cheap
lands" will be over after the new own
ers get possession of their purchase.
Blocks Of the land will probably be
sold to other parties. The eastern
syndicate propose making market
for their purchases, which, amount to
about one million four hundred thOus-
and acres.
A syndicate of western men is also
proposing to buy large blocks from
the new purchasers, and it is said, un-
dertake to get small stockmen from
other states to locate on the lands.
The question of water supply can, for
the small stock raiser, be easily set
tied by the ordinary well and wind
mill, which is better than spring.
The water in the "hills" is uniformly
good, obtained in this way.
1t is probable that most OF the rail
road land in StutSman county will be
bought from the eastern syndicate
and operated by western men. The
great disadvantage for capitalists in
the work OF settling up the range
country with actual settlers and stock
growers is the large body of govern
ment land lying within the same
tract.
Those who have studied the ques-
tiOn of using to profit the grass Of
this great region, believe that the
government land isia drawback to set
Element. This land can only be home
steaded and many of the rougher Sec
.tions never will be taken under the
present land law. Some provision, it
is claimed, should be made by con-
gress to dispose of, at low price, this
rough land, suitable for grazing only,
to those who will use it for that pur-
pose. Otherwise it will lie there un-
taken and unclaimed, and prevent ac-
tual use of large bodies of land by Or
ganiZed cattle companies as we'll as by
private individuals, who need several
sections for their purposes. If this
government land could be disposed of
the work of settlement and occupancy
with cattle would begin at once.
There is great future before Suits

square, in the stock industry. One
half of this area, is specially adapted
to stock raising, and is the nearest to
market of any similar body Of land in
any county in the state. The Lands
have been thought cheap" because a
cheap price has been put ON them by
the railroad company. With the ad-
vent of new owners the price will be
advanced and probably doubled. 1t is
claimed that the lands can be handled
as we'll at an advanced price as at the
prices that have prevailed.

in other states. In southern Mime
sofa where J. visited some friends, the
farmers are cutting up the original
farms for their SONS and daughters
and now a 200 acre farm is considered
a big one. The owners are generally
well fixed. Land sells for $40 to $50
an acre, and it makes no odds whether
in cash or on time.
''I talked and visited a number of
my old German friends and they say
that fifteen or twenty of them are
coming to this county next year to get
title to some cheap land. They tried
the soil in northern Minnesota but
found it too poor.
"We make as much profit, l believe,
off our farming one year with an
other, as they do with theirs. Our
land is stronger and easier cultivated.
Their advantage has come in the rise
OF the price Of land, and in their farm
improvements. A renter there is a
poor man, and there is no future for
him. He has got to get some land of
his own to ever get much ahead.
''The farmers there said that what
they wanted most was hay and place
to raise cattle. Land is too valuable
for pasturage. They claim that hogs
are not profitable crop, SO many Of
them die from the cholera. Farm
work is all cut up owing to rougher
country, and it takes harder work
there to farm than here. When l told
them 1 had 500 acres of land and could
plow mile furrow without stopping
they thought l was regular bonanza

"When they first came to southern
Minnesota it was said they could not

anywhere. \ great deal Of it is raised
to feed stock in the shock, and the
same Can be done here. | told them
