North Dakota.
A State Of Wonderful Resources.

Northwest Magazine: North Dakota,
counting the actual production of the
soil per capita, which is the best test of
a states agricultural wealth, is n of
the richest spots OF the face OF the earth.
The state raises about ID acres Of grain
for every man, woman and child in its
population. 1t raises 40 bushels Of flax
and 235 bushels of wheat per capita of
population, which sells for ar aggregate
of $3.50 per capita. The state has $50
worth of live stock per capita and has
more acres of good farm land per capita
than probably any other state in the
union. The yield of the dairy product
is large.
Thirty years ago there was neither a
farmer nor a mile OF railroad within the
borders of North Dakota. Today it
has about 100000 people and more than
5000 miles of railroad. The assessed
valuation of its real estate in 1901 was
sl24,6oo,86o. Since 1900 the farm lands
are reputed to have doubled in value.
The farm produce raised in North Da-
kota last year, including live stock, east.
ly aggregated more than 5000 per capita
for the entire population Of the state.
| The increase in farm land values last
year was probably twice that amount.
The state has, according to the assess
ment records of 1901, farms to the num-
Der Of 38,8o8; combined farms and ranch
es, 2l,l2o; ranches 6,25o. 1t is believed
that fully 100000 settlers are coming into
North Dakota this summer, and by the
end of 1902 the population Of the state
will aggregate a half million.

SINCE reading the tardy New
Salem bank statement, with de-
posts of over $4,000, we take off
our hat to the Pioneer. This
gives the five Morton county
banks $4,000 in deposits over the
two Stark county banks. In point
of loans and undivided profits,
however, our banks are far in the
lead; but what surprises us is that
the New Salem depositors should
have SO much surplus money at
this season of the year. New
Salem is rich in creamery, grain
and stock interests, and little
wonder is it that steps have just
been taken tor the organization of
a national bank, with a capital OF
$4,000.

Pr0hibitjonists' Ticket.

Hillsboro, N. D., Aug. 6.-The mass
meeting of the prohibition partyof North
Dakota resulted in fourteen delegates
outside of Hillsboro beng present. A.
ter several conferences it was decided to
make two nominations and leave the
rest of the places vacant to be filled by
the executive committee.
The two places filled and the nominees
were:-
Governor-J. o. Siverson, Churches
Ferry.
Lieutenant Governor-Chas. H. Mott,
Lisbon.
The resolutions roasted the republi-
can party for Its silence on the prohibit
ton question and the democrats for their
plank favoring resubmission.
The small attendance was discourag-
ing to the advocates of prohibition.

A Submerged Electric Motor

Is a new device by which any small row.
boat can be easily transformed into a
power-propelling craft without making
the slightest alteration in it. If people
who are suffering from ailments of the
stomach, liver and bowels would try
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters their condi-
ton would gradually improve until they
are completely transformed from the
weak, nervous condition to one of robust
health. 1t is a medicine that the most
delicate stomach can retain, and n
that will not shock the system. During
the past fifty years hundreds of people
have voluntarily testified to its efficacy
in cases of headache. indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness, liver
and kidney troubles, and malaria, fever
and ague We would, therefore, urge
you to try a bottle and satisfy yourself.

Glendive Pleased.

A Glendive special to the Twin City
papers of Aug. 4 says
"Rumor had it that the Northern Pa
cifc contemplated a cutoff which would
leave Glendive off the main line and had
grown so persistent that a committee OF
business men waited upon President
Mellen Saturday, when he arrived in the
city, to ascertain if there was any foun-
dation for the rumor. Mr.. Mellen said:
4 am at a loss t o understand howsuch an
absurd rumor could have started. We
are improving the track from here to
Mandan, but we have no more intention
of cutting Glendive off the main line
than we have of cutting off St. Paul. 1t
is too important a point AS the COM
mittee was leaving, he emphasized his
previous remarks BY assuring them that
the report was absolutely groundless.'
The fact that a crew of N. P. survey
ors started in at South Heart, IL miles
west of Dickinson, a few weeks ago and
run a line in a southwesterly direction,
was the foundation for the cutoff rumor'

The September DESIGNER.

The advanced styles for autumn are
presented most attractively in the De-
signer for September. Of great practi-
cal value is an article on "School Array"
tor the boys and girls, and in the milli-
merry pages are given full directions for
making a stylish toque suitable for the
season. Especially interesting among
the literary features is the initial appear
ance of "What Women are Doing" un-
der the editorship of the feminine read
ers of the Designer. The regular de-
partments of "Notes of New Books"
"Selections for the Recitationist," "Toi-

practical, valuable and timely.

NOVEL OYSTER BEDS.
Seems to re Chief Use of the Funny
Turkish Navy.

beetnS TO tse nlet OIL the unuy
Turkish Navy.
The Turkish navy in 1878 retired be-
hind the bridges up the Golden Horn
and there remained rotting until 1897
the only purpose of the vessels served
being to act as mussel and oyster beds,
from which the dock yard hands oc-
casionally got a good feed. The ships
were dismantled. in many cases parts
of their engines were used for mer-
chant vessels, and il is even said the
propellers were taken 10 the palace TO
prevent anybody making use of them.
When the Greek war broke out. and
daily rumors came of the Greek fleet
doing immense damage TO Turkish
seacoast places. a feeling arose that
the Turkish navy must be up and do
ing. and the sultan also saw that he
must make a move. So orders were
given for the feet to get under way.
and all the mussels were scraped off.
the boilers patched with cement. and
the feet started. Not one of them was
seaworthy. but they made a fine show.
and the populace was satisfied. Their
engines. however were useless. and
their decks so rotten that in some
cases they could not carry the weight
of the guns. Even when warping
themselves ont they had to borrow
each others cables. as they were only
provided with one each. When they
got into the Marmora they did not
know what TO do. but luckily captured
a small coasting steamer. which pilot
ed them tc the Dardanelles. There
several We're leaking so badly that
they had to be beached. while others
went ashore of their own accord. and
there they are TO this day.
Again the sultan thought something
should be done. so ne entered into
contract with an Italian firm to repair
and "re-everything" eight of the war
ships at a cost of Ct. 100000 But the
Italians wanted something to begin
with. and after two years G130o 900
has been forthcoming. Now the sui
tan thinks that his plans will be unre-
munerative. and he wants to break
the contract. supporting his wish with
all kinds of excuses. The shadow
latest proposal is that the Italian firm
should build new cruiser as compen-
sation for breaking the contract.
