VISITORS to the Red River valley
sometimes object to the fatness OF
the country, not considering that
this is really an advantage. Our
crops and farms are never in danger
OF being washed away by floods as is
frequently the case in rolling
countries, and there is less wear on
horses and farm machinery. But
the country is not as level as it
looks, there being gradual yet con-
siderable fall toward Red river, am
ply sufficient to make drainage easy
OF accomplishment.

"WHEN we get ready to put a
nigger's face in the sand we put his
body there, too," and "In South
Carolina the whites secured a major
ity OF 1900. 1t might just as easily
have been 80, 900, or 10000. They
simply got such majority as was
necessary for white supremacy are
some Of the frank declarations made
on the floor of the U. S. senate by
the notorious Tillman, the knight Of
the pitchfork and the defender OF the
shotgun in politics. And such a
man bewails the few instances OF
cruelty ofthe army in the Philippines!
When he commenced speaking the
democratic senators left in body,
as stinging a rebuke as perhaps was
ever administered to public man,
yet not sharp enough to pierce the
thick Tillman hide.

The republic Of Cuba was launched
on the Goth Of May, and that date
will be as memorable in her history
as the 18th OF July is with US. On
that day occurred the transfer Of the
government from the United States
to the people Of the island, and the
United States flag which has foated
over Moro castle during the past
four years was hauled down and the
Cuban flag hoisted instead. The
military occupancy has been very
beneficial to Cuba, and the new ma
tion begins it's existence under very
suspicious circumstances. In all
history we do not think there is re-
corded agreater act OF unselfshness
and humanity Of one nation towards
a weak struggling people than what

The SHEAF has said before and it
says it again that it believes the
rather abundantrains this spring will
in the end prove the greatest bless
ing to the Red River valley farmer,
by compelling him to adopt diff
ferent system Of farming than mere
wheat raising. Many farmers are
already planning to raise more
cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry, to
keep more COWS and make dairying
a business rather than side issue.
In many parts OF the valley steps
are being taken to establish cream
tries and cheese factories. And the
changed system will make the Red
River valley the richest and most
prosperous farming district in the
world.

What is Alkali Land?


Alkali, or at least the alkali we
have to deal with, without going
into technical chemical terms, is a
mixture OF various salts" and pot
ash. These are common articles Of
commerce and domestic use. They
are necessary constituents Of q pro-
ductive soil. Common salt is one Of
these. Everybody knows that salt
in certain quantities is a stimulant
of vegetable growth; on the other
hand too much salt will kill, and the
same is true OF the other t.salts'' and
the potash in the soil. Now there is
no doubt, that the locality we are
discussing has in spots, too much OF
these otherwise valuable constitu-
ents, and the question OF the value
ofthese lands depends largely on the
possibility and cost Of Kidding the
land OF the slight excess OF fertilizers
that nature has placed there:
We say slight excess, because it is
but seldom we find an absolutely
"bald'' spot on the prairie. Some
times only certain sorts Of grass or
weeds grow, but vegetation Of
some sort grows almost generally
and in the greater part, abundantly
and even luxuriantly.
Our theory Of the alkali conditions
here is, that the excess is not OF the
soil SO much as on the surface
'sgumbo'' land, or most OF it is
alkali clear through mixed with clay,
and is therefore difficult to get rid
Of But in the locality described,
where nature, only by the growth
and rotting Of successive crops OF
grass, has, in a score OF years, done
SO much to clear itself, it ought not
to be difficult for Intelligent men to
complete the job.
These 'salts" and sspotash" which
compose s'alkali'' are just as solvent
in water as sugar. Every foot in the
soil Of the Red River Valley is i'm
pregnated with alkali. That is the
greatest reason OF it's fertility. A
small quantity OF our soil from any
locality in the valley when thrown
into a glass of soft water will i'm
mediately make the water hard"
The rivers, the lakes and the sloughs
all have these alkaline elements and
this to some extent accounts for the
blue tint and purity in other direc-
lions. Dead slough water never be-
comes putrid like eastern ponds.
Part the.rank growth OF water vege-
tation, and the water is clear, pure
and sweet, to the very roots, though
alkaline; and out in the open the
ripples sparkle as clear and blue as
the deep sea.
In the spring melting SHOWS and
rains cover the level prairie with
water, water courses are few, the
land nearly level and drainage is
slow and easily choked. The water

The past few weeks seem to have
been period OF great unrest among
the elements both above and below
the surface OF the earth. Destruc-

ed in many parts of the country. In

state excessive rains have fallen that
in many cases have washed away
both farms and crops, and a number

We have noticed number OF
papers in commenting upon the
congressional situation in their re-
spective localities, state that while
Mr.. STEVENSON has some friends
he has also some bitter enemies in
his own party. That being the case
lit becomes a pertinent question
whether he would be safe man to
nominate. In order to be successful
in this campaign it is essential to
have a united party. With Mr..
Grindeland as the candidate the
party will present a united front.
OF all the men mentioned for the
place, we believe he has the feWest
personal enemies, and he has the re-
spect Of the leading menin the other
