DESERTS NOT VALUELESS.
Nevada May Some Day Benefit from Its Sterile
Lands.

In speaking of desert lands, the Mining
and Engineering Review publishes the
following:
These true deserts are confined almost
wholly to the broad flats adjacent to the
&Great Salt Lake in Utah; the lands ar
#ound the sinks of the Humboldt, Carson
Nand Walker in Nevada; Death valley and
Sthe Amargosa sink in California, and GER
#tain portions Of New Mexico and Texas.
&rhe geological character of these wastes
a. such as TO remove them forever, or at
6any rate during this age, from the do
mains of profitable production. They are
Limplv immense beds of salt, of soda, OF
1aitre. Of borax, or of other alkaline sub
stances in such quantity as to kill out
effectively all vegetable and hence all
animal life.
Let II not. however, be imagined that
these sterile fields are valueless to the
nation. On the contrary, they constitute
vast storehouses of chemical materials,
from which will be supplied the needs OF
the future, no matter how great may be
the demands. although these fieias have
for many years been drawn upon for the
purposes of refining and manufacture,
more especially in the line of borax, as
vet the merest beginning has been made
in the development of their riches. which
may be properly styled as inexhaustible
as nature herself. These desert lands
will some day make of Utah and Nevada
the richest and most prosperous States
Of the Union.

And trembled with fear at your frown?

Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt,

And listened to Appleton's mill

And a quiet that crawls round the walls as

Has followed the olden din
And don't you remember the school, Ben Bolt,
With the master SO cruel and grim,
And the shaded nook in the running brook
Where the children went to swim?
Grass grows on the masters grave, Ben Bolt:
The spring Of the brook is dry
And of all the boys who were schoolmates

has gone west, leaving behind the un-
progressive, unventuresome ones. Farms
are neglected, prosperous farming is a
thing of the past and cloud Of gloom

The principal causes Of this condition
are failure Of the farmers intelligently
to conform to new conditions and the un-

DR.. SCHURMAN ON THE PHILIPPINES

Jacob Gould Schurman, member of the
first Philippine commission, contributes
to the April number of Gunton's maya
zine forceful discussion of the Philip
pines problem. He starts with the pos
tulate that the people of this country
have never yet passed on the Philippines
problem, that it is under discussion and
that it is the great national problem of
the hour. AS yet the United States has
no fixed policy reaching out into the flu
ture of the Philippines. 1t has merely a
temporary policy, of which DR.. Schurman
thoroughly approves. The question will
be settled by considerations of self-inter-
est both on the part of the Filipinos and
on our part and by sentiment. Both
kinds of considerations, DR.. Schurman
holds, make it probable that the Ameri-
can people will decide to establish an in
dependent government in the Philippines
Just as soon as there is reasonable GER
tainty that the government thus estab-
lished will be able to carry out treaty
obligations. This decision should apply
only to that part Of the archipelago which
he holds has been nationalized by the
stirring events Of the last few years-the
Christian portions. Luzon and the Visayan
islands. The Moros, mere petty warning
tribes, without national feeling and hos
tile to the Filipinos proper, are fit sub
jects for benevolent alien rule The
United States must either continue to ad-
minister their affairs or turn them over
to England. If the latter will take, them
in exchange for her West Indies OF
course, when it comes to setting the
Filipinos up in Independent government
the United States will doubtless elect to
retain certain naval bases, as it has done
in Cuba. They will satisfy the legitimate
demands of expansion.
The underlying idea in all that DR..
Schurman says seems to be that the Fiu-
pinos are now essentially nation in
feeling, though once but mere quarreling
tribes, and that they have among them
natural and able leaders who will be able
to maintain government satisfactory to
the nascent nation, though it might not
be UP to our standard. OF course, if the
Filipinos are really nation they must
be considered in the light of the Ameri-
can ideal of independent government for
each nation. They must be treated in q
manner entirely different from that in

dacy fer congress. He will address the Fifth
Ward Republican Club on the burning ques-
ton of taxation, which will give him an open
ing to dilate upon his legislative record at
the extra session. Mr. Peterson's friends are
looking for announcement from him almost
any time. They say that the threatened can
didacy Of John Lind for congress will only
make Peterson's case stronger, as it will be
felt expedient to nominate a Scandinavian to
run against Lind.
DR.. L. W. Babcock Of Wadena has an
nounced through the Staples World that he
will be q candidate for the state senate in the
fifty-third district, instead OF for the house.
This is only in case J. D. Jones concludes not
to run. E. B. Wood of Long Prairie has al
ready made formal announcement of his can
didacy, and there is plenty of fun ahead this
summer in the counties OF Todd, Wadena and
Hubbard.
The Lamberton Star says George w. Somer-
vile will have no opposition for state senator
from the Redwood Brown district, and Frank
Clague will be the representative from Red
wood county. This is also the opinion of

day. and declares that he has had enough Of

example set. But to stamp 1t as anti -Semit-
ism is like trying to kill mosquito with a
gun. That two loafers attack q poor peddler
because he is a Jew and is not likely to de-
fend himself. which fact these yagabonds
know, is no evidence of the existence of anti
Semitism. There is no anti Semit.sm in this
country, although some narrow--ninded or
narrow-souled individual may now and then
show his prejudice against the Jew. But such
racial prejudice is often harbored by some
against the Irish. the German or the Italian
elements of our heterogeneous population
That poor Jews are often ANNOYED and har-
assed by the street arabs and hoodlums more
than our other reign-looking citizens is sim
ply because they are least likely to take any
such vigorous measures OF defense as the ltal-
ian, for example, under similar circumstances
would take. I always advise the complaining
peddler to carry a stout club with him. or
even something more formidable, and to carry
on convincing argument on his assailants
head. Nothing would stop abuses sooner than
this method That the officers of the law
should also take little interest in the poor
Jewish peddler goes without saying But let
us not attach to street ruffiantsm the horrible
looking name Of anti-Semitism.

REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK BR1eHrENs

The real estate market in Minneapolis
is beginning to show signs of life. Slowly
but. we believe. surely prices are begin
ming to rise and the number of buyers
shows marked increase. The revivifying
process is going on in a healthy way. 1t
has come in its own good time. All the
artificial efforts of the past two or three
years to bring it about have failed. 1t is
a natural, normal, healthy movement
Being such 1t is not likely to develop
into boom and it is to be earnestly
hoped that it will not. 1t will simply
bring about proper appreciation Of the
value of Minneapolis real estate, which
will give us more buyers and enforce bet
ter prices.
men that the great activity in the farm
land market is the precursor of new life
in city real estate. In proportion as the
cheap land area Is pushed farther and
farther from the city by the present de-
mand for lands, and as they pass from
individual farmer capital is released and
energetic investors are left free to turn
their attention to other fields. City real
estate, still offered at prices below what
would be expected in view of general and
local prosperity, is bound to attract this
capital and these investors. Most stocks
are too uncertain, too purely speculative
for them. They want to put their money
where, whatever comes, they will have
something to show for It. together with
bright prospect that advances in values
within a short time will give more than
mere interest gains on their investments.

OLD MIDAS IN TROUBLE

Story Regarding the King.

Story Regarding the King.
From the Athens Herald, Aug. 6, 1O106 B. G..
A strange story has recently come from
Olympus regarding a singular misadventure
that has befallen King Midas. While we
cannot vouch for its authenticity, we reprint
it entire from the Olympian Journal of July
20 ultimo. The story would hardly be worthy
of credibility appearing in any other publica-
ton, but our contemporary claims to have
looked 1t up carefully and to have verified
1T IN every important particular We give
it. for what it is worth. The Olympian Jour-
nal says:
A number of peasants recently found an
old man wandering In the fields. He was
siderably the worse for liquor, but as he
claimed to be Silenus, the foster fother Of
Bacchus, who is now holding the internal
revenue portfolio under King Zeus, on Mt.
Olympus, the peasants after some hesitation
took him to King Midas court. Midas at
once recognized him and entertained him for
ten days and nights with an unceasing round
Of jollity, which left him a nervous wreck
On the eleventh day he brought him back and
returned him to Bacchus
The secretary. was so much pleased at this
evidence of good feeling that he offered Midas
whatever reward he might wish, and in max
ing his choice it is feared that Midas has fall
len down seriously. The king, who has been
much in need of money since the war, asked
Since that unfortunate wish, Midas has been
in peck of trouble. from which his physi-
clans seem unable to rescue him, though he
has taken the gold cure twice.
He has been unable to eat drink now for
ten days, every particle Of food passing his
lips being changed into the hated metal.
At last reports Midas was seen hot footing
it up Mt. Olympus to appeal to Bacchus to
take back his gift SO that he can obtain a
square meal.
Much anxiety Is expressed at the capital,
and Mrs Midas is Frustrated with anxiety
and is now under the care Of physicians. A
reporter has been sent on Midas trail and
correspondents at the court have been wired
to keep the Journal informed as to the out
come, but the worst Is feared. 1t is hoped
that full particulars may be printed next
week.

Efforts to bring Canadian wheat to Min
neapolis for milling in bond seem to have
failed temporarily. Though the initiative
in this movement came quite as much
from the Canadian grain raisers as the
local millers, the Canadian grain men
seem to have blocked it by raising
prices enough to offset the normal differ
ence in price, which tempted the local
millers to make the experiment. If this
is the true explanation of the present
situation, the Canadian wheat raiser can
thank the Minneapolis millers for high
er price for his grain. 1t will also tend
to stimulate the reciprocity bee in his
bonnet.

Wilson is essentially a comedian Pathos

pathos is required the result rouses the risi-
bles rather than the emotions. With this
exception, however, kis playing of Metz Stro-
bel, German diplomatic attache with an
American education, deserves Communications
It IS pleasure to commend the work Of
Pierce Kingsley as the villainous Count Won
Beekman. The part is one that might easily
be Overcome, but Mr.. Kingsley plays it with
admirable restraint, and causes one to forget
