The work Of starting spite news
papers continues. It is stated on
good authority that the newspa-
per at Medora is to be a spite pa
per, subsidized by disgruntled in
dividuals who want to abuse some
persons who have trampled on
their susceptible corns. Gener-
ally the starting and maintenance
of spite papers does not hurt the
people that they are aimed at, and
relieves the owner of cash that
they badly need for other purpo-
SEES. Usually, too, it takes a pretty
low grade of a man to run such a
paper, and he can be depended
upon to act the part Of aviper that
stung its benefactor -Mandan
Pioneer.

North Dakota is a grain and
a feed raising state says the Grand
Forks Plaindealer, and yet a good
many farmers are found in debt
each fall for feed. They bring in
wheat which they exchange atfrom
45 to IS cents a bushel for bran at
the same price, when they might
grind up the whole thing at home
to feed their stock. AS a business
proposition, any farmer who goes
in debt for feed for stock when he
can grind grain such as barley and
oats and corn, and raise corn, and
raise oats for feed, instead Of
wheat. gets the worst of it. It is q
ridiculous proposition when it is
seriously considered.

A Good Cheap Fuel.

Minneapolis journal: North
Dakota Ignite coal mines r I'M
able to supply the demand for that
fuel. Production has greatly in
creased in the past few years. New
mines have been developed. I'm
proved machinery has been in
stalled in several of the larger
properties. but the demand con
%tinues to exceed the output. The
immense coal fields in the western
part Of North Dakota are a guar
anty to the settler in the north
west that the price Of fuel in this
part of the country will always be
reasonable. In western North Da-
kota towns Ignite sells at 50 per
ton. In Fargo it is delivered at
$3.25 per ton. Ignite mines are
reached by the 500. Great North
ern and Northern Pacific. The
coal is used in all the public in
stitutions of North Dakota. 1t is
preferred to either wood or hard
coal by people who have learned
how to use it. The larger towns
in North and South Dakota are
using more and more of it every
year and tie consumption in the
twin cities is steadily increasing.
Ignite coal is free from clinkers
and sulphur. Analyses made show
it to be superior to the soft coal Of
Ohio, Indiana and Iowa.
AS early as 1875 eastern capt.
alists we're at work developing
North Dakota Ignite properties.
Pittsburg parties began mining on
the Missouri above Bismarck in
tending to transfer the coal to
market by large barges. The Black
Hills gold excitement steered the
mining operations of this syndi-
date in another direction. For
many years little was done to de-
velop these properties. When
President w. D. Washburn began
the construction of the Bismarck,
Washburn & Great Falls railway
he opened and developed an inn
mense Ignite mine at Wilton.
other mines Lave been opened at
other points in the Ignite coal
belt and all are working to full ca.
pacity. It is believed that the
briquetting process will soon be
successfully applied to Ignite
which will practically mean the
supremacy of that fuel in the
northwest.
No matter in what section Of
northwest the homeseeker settles,
he can rest assured that the ques-
ton Of fuel supply at a reasonable
price need never worry him. North
Dakota has coalenough to supply
the northwest for centuries.

La Grande- Cove Surveys.

The surveyors have completed two
routes for the La Grande-Cove rail
road, one follows the main line 81
the Elgin branch to Island City, from
there it is to keep to the south side of
Grande Ronde river. If built from
this point the road will be thirteen
miles III length. The other survey
commences ut II point near the Con
ley Spur and continues on the north
side OF the river for several miles.
From this point the Cove may be
reached by building II miles OF new
road. j. M. Church, the president of
the road, states that either of the two
routes are practical and follows most
OF the way along sectional lines which
ne ans little il any damage to the pro,
perty run through.
Mr.. Church stated that while it de
pended in very large measure with
the property owners regarding ii e
right OF way and the grading, every
indication at this time points to the
eal ly completion of the road. In any
event, he stated, the matter would not
hang fire, but it would be positively
known within a very short time
whether or not the road will be CON
structed. 1t is the intention OF the
company to temporarily use steam
power, but later this will be supplant-
ed by electricity, the company al
ready having secured the site and
power a short distance above the Cove.

Reclaiming the Desert.

Representative Moody introduced a
bill appropriating 100000 to be ex-
pended by the secretary Of the inter-
ior in preliminary steps looking to re-
claiming the arid public lands in Ore
gon by irrigation.
Oregon has enough arid land to
make comfortable homes for 10000
people as soon as the water now going
to waste is brought thence. The con-
gresham from Oregon who uses his
position to render these lands fertile
does more good for Oregon than he
who floods the people with buncomb
speeches. To make homes for $4,000
people is a grand work that will bless
the people and enrich the state.-Ex.

fatally detective. In all cases OF this
kind which have been taken into the
courts, it has been held that after | |
years use, such roads are in fact legal
highways, however defective the pro-
ceedings may have been. The Lcgis-
lature by using the words mot here
tofore legally established" indicated
an intention to apply the act to roads
which had been the subject of pro-
ceedings, but which still required re-
medal legislation to make them legal
The Oregon Supreme Court has held
that courts will b. slow to declare
road public highway merely upon
adverse uses, so it is probable that
this statute would be given con-
strhction as favorable as possible to
the property owner,
In prairie countries, where fences
are ncommon, it is the custom OF
farmers to drive 10y the shortest route,
thus making roads across unincloscd
land. 1t is hardly probable that the
Legislature intended to declare all
such roads to he public highways ai-
ter 10 years use, when the public had
merely taken advantage or the per
mission of the land owners to crcss
their property. As applied to roads
established and used after defective
proceedings, OF which the land owner
had notice, the statut, in question
would be fair and equitable, but il APP.
piled generally to all roads used for /
years, it woul9 be extremely unfair,
and detrimental to the pubic, for il 20
stringent law is to be in effect, prop
erty-owners must discontinue sucn
favors to the public. Lawyers genes-
ally take the view that the statute ap-
plies only to roads that have been r,-
tablished, hut by detective proceedings.
