The Aleanest man the Record has
heard Of for many day "honors" Or
ange City, Iowa, with his presence. He
used to live in this county. The said
mean man proved up on tree claim
several years ago, when the old style
of blanks were in use. After proving
up and getting his receivers receipt
from the district land-oi!ice, he sold
the land to neighbor, who, in turn
sold it toanother man. Recently the
general land-ofllce at Washington
asked for evidence as to what was done
each year after the fourth year on the
tract. The man who proved up on the
tract and sold it was asked for his af-
tdavit. and he replied through an Or
ange City attorney that, on receipt OF
$25, he would make the necessary affi-
davit. The man, it should be remem.
bered, when he sold the land, gave a
warrantee deed therefor; but, as he is
said to be worth nothing, the warran-
tee deed seems to be of little value.
One is also led to wonder what sort OF
q lawyer it is that lends himself to
such a black mailing scheme.

The oil inspector Of Minnesota states
that the Standard Oil company has
been shipping a low-grade Oil from
Indiana aud Ohio into the northwest
this fall, says the Valley City Times
Record. This oil, he states, contains
. large percentage OF sulphur, and this
latter element is what chokes up the
wicks and causes the lamps to smoke.
The oil is a very inferior quality as
compared with Pennsylvania oil, and
is two or rfthree cents a gallon cheaper.
This explanation seems to be the most
reasonable one yet offered, and puts

that is being sold where 1t belongs

THERE IS great contrast between
conditions in Emmons county a few
years ago and those Of the present
time. Then, our farmers in all parts
of the county had to haul their pro-
duce long distance to market, some
OF them requiring three days for the
trip. At one time the price of beef
and sheep was SO low that a good
many were discouraged and went out
Of stock-raising as a, business. Wool
was down to its lowest ebb, and wheat
was as low or lower than it is now.
At present better prices prevail for
the meat-producing animals, and the
outlook seems certain for long con-
tinuance Of such prices, as the num-
ber OF all kinds of live stock is less
than a few years ago, and the number
Of consumers larger and constantly In
creasing. The branches Of the 500
railway have placed the people of all
parts of the county only few hours
travel from market, and the prospect
for another road, which will accom-
modate those more distant from a rail
way, is very aattering, A few years
ago there was little demand for land,
and prices were away down. Now,
there is a good inquiry for land at
prices which have more than doubled.
Surely the people Of Emmons county
should begin the new year satisfied
with the present and confident Of the
| future.

Devils Lake, who bought 63,0oO acres
of land in Morton county, not long ago.
says the western movement Of settlers
is not appreciated by the people Of
this section, and the future movement
will be greater than the past. Men
from North Dakota who have been in
Iowa stirring up enthusiasm report
that hundreds of farmers ARE selling
out their lands and investing the pro-
ceeds in the cheaper lands of North
Dakota, believing that there is an op.
portunity in so doing for making small
fortunes. In the past summer half a
dozen land companies have been organ
lied in the western part of North
Dakota, and all Of them report good
sales. ALI this is an indicator that
North Dakota is steadily on the up
grade, and that the dawn of a new era
of prosperity and progress is at hand.

Editor futile on EnamOns SCoHuiy.
The following is an excerpt from a
lengthy article in the Mandan Pioneer:
clinton is growing gradually and
healthfully, and the indications are
that in ten years it will be very cons
siderable and prosperous place. Its
location, Nesting among the bills in
the valley of Beaver creek, is pleas
ant one; and it is located in the geo
graphical center Of the county.
SIN Emmons, as in other counties
in the western part Of the state, there
is considerable land fever. Everybody
who can is buying land. Prices are
pointing skyward, and those whoeal-
ready own land feel that they afe con-
siderably richer than theyTWerc a year
or two ago. Farmers had fair crops,
especially in the northern and south
ern pagts of the county; there is an
abundance6f hay, and cattle are do
ing we'll. The railway company has
sold all its lands to the Hackney
Boynton company, of ST. Paul, and
the company is working hard to sell
it's holdings, and is succeeding we'll.
Railroads are pointing in various di.
rections through the county. Great
attention is being paid to the survey
which the Northern Pacific is making
from Mckenzie in a southeTly direc.
tion through Burleigh and Emmons
counties.
"The new courthouse which has
been erected in Linton is one that the
citizens Of Emmons county are justly
proud of. 1t stands well, on a slight
eminence overlooking the town. 1t is
close enough to the business part OF
the town to be easily accessible after
a few minutes walk, and the building
is planned in accordance " ith the best
| designs. 1t is heated by a furnace
and the contractors seemed to exercise
as much care in the finish Of the work
as If they were working by the day
instead Of the job. The way Emmon'

this building will be much too small
When that time comes, however, th!

Valley and losing it in the Salton sink. Tl,o DadrouaS river continues ;r, a

Valley and losing it in the Salton sink.
 The Padrones river continues in southwesterly course, emptying into Volcanoe lake, in which there are mauy small geysers or mud volcanoes, as they are called. VolcanoeLake has several outlets, to the north in small channels. which unite to form New River, which, after flowing twenty miles, enters California and traverses the Imperial Valley to junction with the Carter river.
 Volcanoe lake also has several out lets to the southward, which unite in forming Hardy's Colorado, which joins with the main Colorado river at La Ba1sa, some sixty miles below the line between California and Mexico.
 While these various streams are des- ignated as rivers, it must be borne in mind that they are composed rather of network of small channels than of few large channels and that they carry water only during the period of flood in the Colorado.
 In addition to Volcanoe lake, there are numerous small lakes of pure wat CT on either side of the international line, some dry a portion of each year, and others possessing water contin- uously.
 So level is this country, and so freely is it cut by channels that series of dams and levees about Volcanoe Lake will have the power 10 turn the waters wherever wanted for irrigation. These streams, flowing in all direc- tions and flooding large tracts of land annually are characteristic of a delta country and make of this land mar allel of the conditions which have made Egypt famous for its productive power since the dawn of civilization.
 It would not be difficult to follow up the Colorado river and find climatic and soil conditions which are not greatly different from those of Upper Egypt, but too great space would be required.
