AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION
DeSoto Boy Writes EntertainingIy Of the
Yangtsze Valley.

From write-up by Mr.. j. H.
Morgan of trip into the interior
of China, which was published in
"The Open Door, a semi month
ly pamphlet published on the bat
tleship Kentucky, we take the
following:
What may be said of Hankow
applies equally to all other ports
visited. The European settle
ments are clean, roomy, with
good light and ventilation, while
the native, or Chinese cities are
dirty, filthy, small streets, with
no ventilation to the houses other
than one door and possibly q win
dow.
The Yangtsze Valley is with
out doubt one of the most fer
tile and beautiful valleys known.
For distance of go miles, on
both sides Of The river, immense
plains run back as far as the eve
can reach, broken only by the
high land which seems to be in
variably on the south side.
Thffs S Plaaafs Pehdasa are 55y well 99heGn GnlttHa4fh4g ttHHaH4fhg
back from the river mostly for ir-
rigation purposes but none are
used by the junks, thus afording
q means of transportation for the
products of the interior. Levees
or dykes ore run on both banks
as far as we went and probably
they continued the entire length
of the valley.
The water buffalo is extensive
used for the cultivation of the
land. C2ttle could be seen, but
III verv few places. Goats and
pigs were quite noticeable, but
there seemed to be no sheep.
Immense crops of tea, cotton,
corn, broom corn and silk fbrous
material were continuous from
Shanghai to Ichang. The popu-
lation is dense; huts, villages and
cities are continually in ,-::ew, and
the people can be seen along both
banks Of the river reminding one,
of the busy little ant Notwith-
standing the exceeding richness
of the valley, the natives them
selves seem to be very poor.
At HankoW, there were several
locomotives of American build,
and while talking with one of the
officials it was found that the rail
road belonged to a Belgian syndi-
cate, and that the company was
building q road from Hankow to
.Pe1in. The American China De-
velopment Company's railway,
now being pushed forward, con
meets with this road at Hankow
and when completed to Canton,
communication by rail over this
line and that under construction
by the Belgian Syndicate, from
Hankow to Pekin, can be had
with Canton, Hong Kong and
southern China, via Pekin, and
the English line to Shanghai
kivan, thence by the Manchurian
line through Newchwang to con
meet the Trans Siberian line,
thence on to western Europe.

DEVILS LAKE LANDS.

DEVILS LAKE LANDS.
H%ansbro6gh Has Two Bills Of Inter-
est To Farmers.
Washington, Jan. 1.-Two i'm
portant bills will be introduced by
Senator Hansbrough tomorrow.
One provides for the ratification of
an agreement with the Devils Lake
Indians, for the cession of their
unallotted lands. comprising more
than 100000 acres. The bill ap-
plies the free homestead clause of
the existing law, so that the set
tiers upon the land who desire to
fulfill the requirements of the
homestead law, without commut-
ing, may receive land without any
cost, except the regular land Office
fees. Those who commute will be
required to pay about $3.50 per
acre. The other bill provides for
the exchange of lands. The bill.
is in the interest of the stock
growers of the west, who having
purchased the alternate sections
of railroad lands, are very anxious
to exchange oue-half of their hold
ings with the privilege of reloca-
ting like amount of land else.
where so as to bring their hold
ings together in a solid block.
These prosperous farmers of the
west are playing sad havoc with
the farm loan business. There
can't be much Of a loan business
without borrowers, so that when
the farmer. is taken out of the
market as a borrowing element,
things are getting in pretty bad
way. The almost universal cry
now is scarcity of loans and an
over-supply Of money. Crops
have averaged so fine of late
years and prices have been SO
satisfactory, that, as never before
the farmer has been strictly sin it."
This makes it mighty hard for the
loaner, because he then becomes
confronted with the unpleasant
and difficult duty of reducing rates
to induce old borrowers to keep
their loans and is compelled to ask
the investor to "come down" also.
