MACHINES FOR MAKING
CLOTHES FOR DOLLS
Scheme of New England
Medicine Company.

The ovee Remedy Company, Of Hart
| ford. Conn. against which fraud order
was issued by the Postmaster General
Saturday. has been instrumental In
largely increasing the manufacture of
| dolls clothes throughout New England
and in other portions of the country.
The Ovee company inserted ADVERTISE

selling twelve boxes of their remedy a
fully equipped sewing machine which
was warranted to do good work
This offer, it was stated. was only
temporary, and for the purpose of In
Producing the company's remedy The
concern was swamped with letters from
people who wanted to sell It's medicines
and receive sewing machines as pay

farmers wives In the New England
States.
To those who answered the advertise

guarantee that the fully equipped sew

struction of any $50 or $40 machine sold
on the market, and would do all claimed

Some of the letters received from

Changes in Fire Department.

Upon the top of this strain upon the
energies of the weary Commissioner
came the proposed changes in the Police
straw to break down the last vestiges
of waning energy and to precipitate the
Commissioner upon a s!ckbed from
which he may never arise. or, II he does.
TO an old age of invalidism, aggravated.
if not caused. by the abuse to which ref
erence has been made.
The next session of Congress should
not pass, District officials are unit in
asserting, without the enactment of the
law several times recommended by the
Commissioners placing appointments of
all grades in the municipal government
under civil service regulations.
1t may be mentioned that the recogni-
tion of this principle In legislation
would be but the completion of a work
already begun. Through an arrangement
entered into between the District Com
missioners and the Civil Service Com
mission, examinations are now held at
stated intervals for candidates for ap-
rointmcnt on the police force.
A few days ago an examination was
held to pass upon some thirty or forty
candidates for appointment upon the
Board OF Police Surgeons. Quite recently
also the District Commissioners receiv-
ed a letter from the president of the
Civil Service Commission signifying the
willingness OF the commission to hold
examinations for candidates for ap
pointment in the Fire Department. Sc
that by special arrangement there is
already a strong foundation for legisla-
tion to make the plan universal so far as
the District appointments are concerned.

including about sixty colcred men, who
persistently insisted that their race

As matters turned out. the Commits

a single applicant for the places, but
promoted men already In the District

for which Mr.. Ross has contended in
season and out of season.
All the time spent by the stream of

Fort TCtten.

The house committee on Indian
affairs has ordered q favorable
report on two bills which provide
for the ultimate openings to set
tlement Of several lands in North
and South Dakota. One of them
was the bill presented by Repre-
sentative Marshall and provides
for the ratification Of the treaty
with the Devils Lake Indians,
which cedes to the government 9
large tract Of land in North Dako-
ia. The other was the bill intro
duced by Representative Burke Of
South Dakota providing for the
cession to the government Of q
large tract in Gregory county, SD.
As originally introduced, both bills
provided that these lands should
be opened to settlement under the
free homestead act. This provi
sion was eliminated by the house
committee. The settlers will be
obliged to pay $1.25 an acre for
the South Dakota lands and $3.50
for the North Dakota lands. In
the case of the Devils Lake bill it
is provided that the land shall be
opened by. proclamation Of the
president. The House committee
on Indian affairs have reported
the bill favorably.

Land Values.

A man who has resided for many
years in Iowa, but is now in Grand
Forks, makes the following state
ment to a representative of the
North Dakota Review:
farming is a business in which
men engage as they engage in
other enterprises, for the money
there is in it, and farm land values
in proportion as it gives in. finan-
cial return for the money invested
and effort expended. If 100 acres
Of North Dakota soil will produce
for period Of ten years as much
as 100 acres in Iowa will produce
and bring in as much in the mar
kets, there is no escaping the con-
clusion that the North Dakota
land is too low in price, or the
Iowa land too high. Therefore
the Iowa land must decrease in
price so per cent, or the North
Dakota land must increase in price
100 or 200 per cent. And as there
are possibilities of Iowa land de-
creasing the North Dakota land
is bound to increase. When it is
remembered that within q quarter
of a century Iowa lands have in
creased in value more than 400.
per cent, and this too when there
we're millions of acres Of govern
ment land to be had for the ask
ing, it is mot difficult to believe
that North Dakota lands will do
the same thing, now that free gov
ernment land is almost a thing of
the past"
