NORTH DAKOTA.

For those who wish to engage in
agricultural pursuits, North Dakota
undoubtedly offers today the greatest
advantages of any state in the Union.
This is true for several reasons.
First, land is plentiful and cheap.
Any industrious and preserving
man can soon pay for a farm in this
state, eve if he has but a few
dollars to start with. Then when the
land m into his possession it is
ready to be farmed. He dosen't have
to clear it of trees and stumps and
stones, but can start and pillow at once.
This is a great consideration. But
what is of equal Importance to the far
mer is the fact that the soil is pro-
ductive. It produces big crops. The
farm in North Dakota that cannot be
made to pay for itself in two or three
years would be hard to find. There
are many instances on record where the
proceeds of a single years crop ex-
ceeded the cost of the land on which
the grain grew. Back east the young
man who buys a farm on credit is old
and gray before he can get out of debt.
These are facts worth thinking about,
but the average North Dakotan gives
them little consideration. They ap-
peal to the people who live in other
states, however, which explains why
so many come here every year in
search Of homes. st. Paul Dispatch.

THE GREAT CATACLYsM.

The great seismamic disturbance,
shaking the earth and followed by the
eruption Of volcanoes, destroying
many thousands of human beings in
the Lesser Antilles, was one of the
most destructive that ever occurred in
any part of the world since the dawn
Of history. The destruction of the
cities of the plains, could not have
involved greater loss of life and
property. Pompeii and Herculaneum
did not contain the number of men,
women and children that were over
whelmed and destroyed in the recent
volcanic upheaval in the French and
British West Indies. A wall of woe
comes up from the survivors in those
sun-kissed isles Of the Caribbean seas.
The civilized world should unite to
extend a helping hand to those stricken
and suffering people. All the latest
dispatches show that the calamity is
more fearful and far reaching than was
at first supposed, and it will be some
days before the whole truth is known.
The city Of Martinique, with its
thirty thousand inhabitants is utterly
destroyed. Burning lava and ashes
have covered the island and many
Of the adjacent islands. The force
of this upheaval may not yet have
been exhausted. The fear is that we
may look for still more eruptions and
u%pheavals. Let us hope that the
worst is over. At such terrible mani
festations Of the hidden destructive
forces of nature, it must have appeared
to the victims that the day of Judgment
had come. To them it was the awful
day. While all over the world will
go up the prayer, God pity and help
the survivors-let that prayer be
supplemented with material aid at
once.

FRIDAY, MAY l6, 1902.
THE SIMPLEX.

This week, begins a new era in the
Inter Ocean office, and it is with
pride that we invite in friends
and readers to see our wonderful Sim
pick typesetting machine, just in
stalled. The demand for plenty of
fresh news matter, for late news in
full detail right up to the hour of
publication; the necessity for keeping
in the front with the great develop
ment of newspaper business during
recent years; and the desire to give
our readers as much as possible fol-
their money, - these considerations
among others led us to see that some
thing swifter and better than hand
typesetting must be provided. After
a long and careful investigation of
the whole subject of mechanical type
setting, we have finally installed the
machine which is working such a rev.
olution in the old methods Of produc-
ing newspapers.
It is probable that on no labor saw
ing machine has more time and money
been expended than on a device tc
set and distribute type. For I've a
century inventors have struggled with
the question, and while their efforts
were partially successful, it has only
been in the past ten years that a
practical machine has been put on the
market. It seems like an impossi-
bility that any combination of ma
chinerv other than that encompassed
in the human body could separate
nearly a hundred characters, pick
them up again, form them into words,
combine the words into sentences and
place them in readiness for that older
but none the less marvellous result of
brains-the modern printing press.
The Simplex does it though, and does
it five Or six times az fast as the
most rapid composition.
It was easy to make mistakes in the
old way. An e would slip into the /
box OF a d into the n box, but the
Simplex can make no such mistakes.
The operator can and doubtless will
continue to make mistakes, but they
will be fewer than before and tn,
hardships of the proof reader will b.
considerably lessened and the sensibil
tiles of the critical newspaper reade
shocked less frequently than before.
. It would be almost an impossibilit
to give an accurate description Q

net change. July wheat closed today
at 1888 compared with 74B one week
ago. Primary receipts were a little
better, 1, 1896, 900 bu. for the week,
compared with 1888, 900 blu. for the
week before. Exports for the week
according to Bradstreet were g., 800, 900
bu. compared with 5, 1903, 900 bu.
The domestic visible supply decreased
8, O26, 900 bu. and the worlds visible
supply decreased 2, 1884, 900 blu. Dur
ing the early part Of the week very
beneficial rains fell over almost the
total area east Of the Rocky Mts, pro-
ducing a very decided change for the
better in crop conditions everywhere
except in the Red River Valley.
Snow and rain in the Red River Val
ley have made worse conditions, which
were already bad. The government
crop report issued yesterday afternoon
is very bullish. It makes the winter
wheat area which last fall was esti-
mated at 80 million acres only 81, 100,-
900 acres, the balance having been
plowed up and makes the condition
76. 81. This suggests a crop Of 3d.
600, 900 bu., of winter wheat. With
favorable weather a total crop of 600,-
600, 900 blu is the most that can now
be expected. Kansas is again com
planning of dry weather, hot winds
and chinch bugs, and more rain is
prophesied for the Red River Valley.
The commercial situation is very
strong, with stocks in sight being
rapidly reduced. 1t is claimed that
farmers hold Is per cent of the last
crop, but we think that the last crop
was much er-estimated, and that
there is not much wheat left in the
country which will come to market
centers. W. do not prophesy a big
bull movement, but we think that
wheat should be bought on all de-
clines. Write for our private tele-
graph cipher explaining speculation

this wonderful machine and the only
wNay to get even a faint idea Of it's
possibilities is to come and examine
its workings. We publish a picture
in this issue which is accurate as far
as general appearances go, but of
course gives no idea as to how it is
operated.
The Simplex typesetter uses just
the same kind Of type al is set by
hand. Each individual type has a
separate combination Of "nicks" or
notches cut on the edge, and on this
fact is based the fundamental princi-
pie of the machine. AS will be
noticed in the picture, the body of
the Simplex Of two cylinders, extend
ing vertically their full length, are
ninety parallel channels, each chan
mel corresponding to some n type.
To distribute the type in the first
place, the channels Of the upper cylin-
der are filled with "dead matter
TYPE that has been used) and is re-
volved step by step. At each step or
movement of the cylinder the bottom
type Of each line of dead matter is
tested by the wards or channels of the
lower cylinder, until it finds one
exactly corresponding and drops down
into the lower magazine. The lower
cylinder is stationary and at the bot
tom of each channel it contains a
lever which is connected with a key
board similar to that Of a typewriter.
When a character on the keyboard
is pressed down the lever releases the
corresponding character from the
channel and deposits it on a rapidly
moving disc which carries it around
the machine and to a ~''packer'' which
packs the letters into a line in their
proper order, in an upright position,
or, to use a printers phrase, "stand-
ing on their feet A long line. of
type rapidly forms in front of the
operator, and when he has enough for
his purpose he whirls his chair around,
and with a small instrument called a
"grab' separates enough from the
long line to make a line the measure
he is setting.
This he justifes or ''spaces'', and
then takes another line and so on.
When two persons are working at the
same time, one operates the keyboard
and the other does the spacing. AS
soon as one line is spaced it is auto
matically pushed back to make room
for another and at the same time the
matter is loaded if so desired.
After the machine is once in opera
ton all that is necessary in the way
of distributing is to place a galley Of
dead type on the side Of the upper
cylinder in a place prepared for it.
It does the work perfectly, and while
it is apparently simple, it wuold be
impossible to explain the matter in
diligently, so we won't try, but again
invite you to come and see for your
self.
The Simplex is small and compact,
weighing about HOO pounds and occu.
plying no more floor space than an or,
binary coal stove, and while it TOOK
brains and lots of them to invent it, il
is of remarkably simple construction
and not at all liable to get out of re
pair.
We have had it in operation only
