Devils Lake in Geography.

By special request, Land Man
Powell furnishes much of the fol-
lowing data for "Tarbell's Com
plete Geography" a most excel
lent work recently published by
the Werner School Book Com
pany, of New York, Chicago,
and Boston.
Lakes: Southeast Of the Turtle
Mountains there r numerous
lakes which have no visible out
lets. The largest is Devils Lake
or Lake Minnewaukan, fifty miles
long and six miles wide in it's
broadcast part. This beautiful
irregular lake is surrounded by
forests and along it's banks are
pleasant summer resorts.
Climate: Because the air is dry
the temperature of the winter is
not felt so much as a higher tenn
perature is in more southern states,
where the air is humid. Winters
IN North Dakota are rainless; there
are occasional billiards.. The
nights in summer are always cool,
however warm the days may be-.
Autumn is the most delightful sea-
son in this state.
Forests: North Dakota has
400, 600 acres of native woods.
The region about Devils Lake con-
tains oak, ash, poplar and Balm Of
Gilead trees. Farm owners have
planted extensive groves. The
North Dakota Sylvaton society has
furnished the school children mil
lions Of forest seeds and many
seedlings for planting on Arbor
day. North Dakota is prominently
an agricultural state. Wheat is
its chief:product and the state is
known as "The Worlds Bread
Basket" The wheat oil North d.
kotaEhas a higher market value
than any other wheat.

THE MoDERNIzED M1KADO.
Japanese Sovereign Has Abandoned
the Ultra Exclusiveness of
His Ancestors.

The mikado is the first japanese SOW
ereigntto emerge from the dignifed re-
tirement in which his predecessors
lived. This step has only increased the
passionate loyalty of his subjects to-
ward him, and people are already COM
pairing him with the kaiser as regards
the prominent role he seems disposed
to play, says a Yokohama correspond
n of the London Mail.
During the army maneuvers his ma
jesty, who followed events with the
greatest interest and enthusiasm, or
dered two privates to be brought be-
fore him, and questioned them through
the medium of bis chief a~ide-de-camp.
His questions were of the paternal
kind, such as the following:
How did they get on with the hard
ships of barrack life? Did they long to
go home whenever they thought of
their nearest relatives? Did they not
think their lot a hard one each-time
their thoughts wandered back to the
ease and joys of their home? We're
they not feeling the effects of their
daily exertions in the maneuvers? DID
not the exactions of the military serv-
ice sometimes make them cry in Sc
cret?
The young soldiers answered that
they were quite happy in the army,
and that their only desire was to do
their duty toward their beloved SOW
erign.
A few days before the mikado, while
travelling by rail, vas cheered by a
number of very old people at Shiralshi
station. He sent them all presents
through the local government, an act
of kindness which moved the old peo-
pie to tears of gratitude.

ly a belated letter that had followed
the officer from post to post without
o%vertaking him was delivered to him
here with arrears of postage
charged. 1t bore many postmarks
and lei forwarding addresses.
1t looked interesting. When he
opened it in the presence of several
fellow-oficers he found that it was
from a certain Jersey City firm urg-
ing. him to use their particular kind
of baby food. They said that a
friend" had called their attention
to the fact that he might be in need
of such an article. It cost the officer
many times the postage to square
the letter with his friends. The
more he explained about his cousin
with the same initials the more they
insisted that it was "on him" Sim
ply as an evidence of good faith he
forwarded the letter to his cousin
and received in reply a brief, tele-
gram which read: "Too late. Baby

SWEDEN.

John Akerstrom, a member of Ek's
Klondike expedition, has been explor-
ing Norrbotten with a view of To-
eating gold mines. So far he has not
succeeded, but he still maintains that
there must be gold in that country,
the only difficulty being lto find it.,
he says. In a letter to Norrbotten
Kuriren, he states that a peculiar man
who lives as a hermit in the neighbor-
hood of Nautanen, has a little bottle
which is one-third full of gold sand
picked up in that part of the
try.

limited to four years. At present the
amount of work required is so great
that many students need more than
four years to complete their studies.
1t is not always true that those who
plant timber trees cannot live long
enough to derive any benefit from
their labors. In southern Sweden, for
instance, a fine Christmas tree COM

trees are generally planted so close
together that they must be thinned
out from time to time, and the de-
mand for Christmas trees enables the
planter to begin to make money on his
plantation at a comparatively early
date.

BALL SLANG AT WEDDING.
Odd But Appropriate Nuptial Speech
of an Athletic Priest Who Loves
the Game Of Baseball,

The nuptial speech of Rev. C. F.
Thomas, made at the altar of St. AIMS
church one recent evening when John
]. McGraw, Baltimore baseball team
manager, and May Blanche Sindall APP
peared to pledge their troth, has
caused much amusement in Baltimore,
says the Chicago American.
Father Thomas is a great lover of
the ball game. This was his speech:
"You have come to this altar to ask
the blessing of God and His church on
the love of your hearts, to utter before
Him your vows of fidelity and to re-
ceive from Him assurances of His pa
ternal regard and affection.
"You know it is the sacrifice hit that
adds to the number of runs and wins
the game. Fear not the adversaries
that are many and strong, and who
will seek to rob You of the result of
this union.
"The game will not be lost as long
as you work together. Bunch your
hits and the victory is yours. This
young lady will fulfill the fondest
hopes reposed in her. She will share in
your triumphs and participate in your
defeats. The church signs her over
to you. You will not have trouble to
manage her. She will keep in spirit
and letter the terms of this holy con-
tract. Lead her around the hard bases
OF life. Make her steal her way under
the watchful eye of the enemy until
she reaches the home plate Of hap.
ness. Make her score many bright and
happy days, that the pennant of pros
perity may continually wave over your
heads, ~

that demand and in doing so most
heartily commend and endorse the eff
forts OF our delegate in congress, Ber-

hood bill through the lower house of
congress-, and extend to him every
possible assistance in his work before
the senate and in the securing of the
passage of the bill by that body. The
republican party of the United States
through it's national platform has re-
peatedly stated that the party was in
favor of the admission of New Mexico
and we now call upon those United
States senators who helped draft those
platforms as well as by leading repub-
licars in the house of representatives
that those planks in the several n a
tional platforms were mere political
buncombe.
We most heartily endorse the admin
istration of public affairs by our pres
ent county officials. Every dollar of
the public funds collected is accounted
for and all public debts are paid as
fast as they accrue. We point to this
with pride and call attention to the
state of affairs that existed in this
county when it's affairs and the public
funds were in the hands of the So
called union party.

RICH ORE STRIKE.
Wire Gold in Good Quantities Found
Isl In American Mine.
VEIN THREE FEET WIDE.

John NJ. Rice and Floyd Parsons, of
Parsons. arrived in White oaks, ac-
companied by r. C. Sturgeon. secretary
and treasurer of the Eagle Mining and
Improvement company. and vice presi-
dent and treasurer of the American
Gold Mining company.
The Eagle reporter interviewed Mr..
Sturgeon in reference to the reported
rich strike in the American last Satur-
day. and he stated that a pocket was
fhct out in one of the slopes from
which was taken about $4,000 in wire
gold and that another one of about the
same value vas uncovered on Tuesday
near the same place. Mr.. Sturgeon
did not seem to attach much import
ance to these two pockets, remarking
that they were merely incidental to
the working Of any mine. He stated.
however, that the American is now
taking ore from a vein three feet wide
which will run at least 800 per ton.
He showed up a panning from a shot
sack full of ore from the heading of
this vein which seemed to have at
least a dollar in coarse gold.
Mr.. Sturgeon stated that it is the
policy of both the Eagle and American
companies to operate their various
plants on strictly up to date lines and
add to their equipment by installing
modern machinery as rapidly as posi-
bic. He expressed himself as highly
pleased with the Old Abe and South
Homestake properties, the former Of
which was started on last Monday and
is running twenty-four hours per day.
The Eagle company expects to start
the South Homestake just as soon as
repairs are completed, which
will be in a very short time.
