A Despernte Firhs.

A recent press dispatch from Chey-
enne, Wyoming, describes a fight to
the death between two stalllons: Two
Percheron stations, imported from
England, fought a duel to the death
on a fast stock-train on the Union
Pacific. One was killed, the car was
smashed into splinters, and Edgar
Boise, the owner Of the animals, lost
sl,5Q0, the value Of his horse. Two
keepers, in charge Of the animals, had
to climb outside to escape the hoofs
and teeth Of the infuriated stations.
When they succeeded in advising the
trainmen Of the battle q side-track
was reached and every effort made to
separate the animals, but finally one
severed the jugular Of his rival, which
bled to death.

Minneapolis Tribune: H. w. Lewis,
general travelling agent of the 500
railway company, has returned from
a tour Of Iowa, southern Minnesota

been looking after the convenience of
settlers who will begin moving into
the country along the 500, about
the end Of the month. .sI have prac-
tically covered the whole territory
from which this company's new set

Mr.. Lewis. 1--WE shall carry between
$500 and 4, 600 families into our north
err division In March. The majority
OF these families will come from low a,
and my obseryationeis that most Of
the new settlers are sons Of wealthy
farmers, who are unable to. obtain
land contiguous to their old homes
at less than e80 to 500 an acre. All
these young men have money in plen.
ty to aid them in developing their
new lands. .

Not only corn brings q fancy price,
but the value of hogs is equally ad-
vanced. With these facts in the
minds Of our farmers, it should not
take them long to realize that a good
planting Of corn, with favorable condi-
tions, means more to them than devot-
ing their time to any other branch of
farm labor. We look for the largest

ever known to this section.

UNPRECEDENTED RECORD MADE DUR
ING 1901 BY THENNEw YORK LIFE
COMPANY - GREAT GAIN IN NEW
BUSINESS.
New YoRK, Jan. 1.-The closing
day of the year indicates great pros.
perity in every business direction. The
large mercantile houses, the various
banking institutions and the trades
generally are quite enthusiastic over
the records made. The fire-insurance
business has not resulted in great
profits for stockholders, owing to the
poor rates obtained; but the regular
OF old-time life-insurance companies,
on the other hand, will make a splen-
did showing for their policy-holders.
The leader ine business obtained and
in force will undoubtedly be the new
York Life, as President Mccall has
issued a statement that the new appli-
cations to his company in 1901 will ex.
coed e3s0, ZOO. 600, or more than q, ,OO0-
600 for every day in the year. This is
an unprecedented record. The COM
pany's new paid.for business in 1901,
excluding risks rejected, ETC., is $780,
600, 600; the total paid for insurance
in force is 1880, 900, ,OoO-a gain of
s160, 100000 over the previous year.
1t is estimated in banking circles that
the dividend and interest payments on
government, state, municipal, railroad
and other corporation securities, pay
able on Jan. 1st, will be s400, 1000, 900.
The new business offered to the New
York Life during 1901 is nearly equal
to those combined payments.

Railroad PIans.

Minneapolis Journal: The plans of
the Milwaukee and Northern Pacific
roads for extensions in southern North
Dakota include junction of the two
lines at Linton in Emmons County.
It Is asserted that the Milwaukee will
run its trains into bismarck over the
Northern Pacific from Linton, The
Northern Pacific will probably build
its new extension from Mckenzie, a
station least Of Bismarck, south and
southwest to the junction with the
Milwaukee at Linton. The Milwau-
kee line will be extended to point
near the southern boundary of the
state In Emmons county, and from
there east and northeast to connect
with the Northern pacific's present
line at Edgeley. This is also the ter
minus of the Milwaukee's line north
from Aberdeen. By the arrangement
at Linton it is said that the compile
tion Of the Milwaukee to Bismarck or
any other point in that part Of North
Dakota will be delayed several years.
The Milwaukee seeks simply to secure
Its share Of the traffic from the Mis-
souri, Slope. and the arrangement with
the Northern Pacific, In the Judgment
Of its onicials, will su6lce for several
years to come. 1t is conceded that
this activity is the result Of the 500
roads extension toward the Missouri
river last year, and the fact that the
500 is to build more lines this year.
It is considered a ''cinch" IN railway
circles that the 500 will build into
Bismarck before the end Of 1902, COM
plete its Missouri river extension to
the river bank in Emmons county,
and extend from Ashley or some other
nearby point on its line into sAber-
deem. BY harmonious trafIic arrange.
ments between the Milwaukee and
the Northern Pacific, South Dakota
will be given a new route to tho Pu.
get Sound country. 1t is expected
that this new route will attract busi-
ness from as far as ndrthwestern Iowa.
This arrangement is regarded as sig
nificant Of friendly relations between
the Milwaukee system aud tie mer-
ger roads Of James ]. Hill, Of which
the Northern Pacific is one. The
combination expects to keep the 500
from carrying off the lions share of
the traffic In northern South Dakota

Years sS Prosperity.
When the pioneer first had the cour-
age to leave the eastern forests and
make himself a home on the illimit-
able prairies that lay with their fer
tile acres toward the setting sun, says
the Lisbon Free Press, he gave little
heed to his method Of cultivation. So
fat and fertile was the soil that he
continued to plow aud SOW and reap
the same crop of his broad acres from
year to year, expecting the same pro.
cess would continue without limit.
He either bought his land at a nomi-
nal price from u generous government
or got it as a free gift from the same
source In exchange for tillage and
occupancy. While these free and
fertile lands lasted the prices kept
low. 1t is q well.known fact that,
with few exceptions, the methods Of
cultivation of the first settlers we're
slovenly and wasteful. With large
number Of acres and but a small cap
ital invtsted, they did not feel the
effect Of this system. Naturally, when
the second man came he had to invest
a larger sum of money in the same
acres, and to make him whole he must
secure larger returns from the same.
To do this he must use better methods
of cultivation. He must put more
money into fences and buildings. He
must cultivate the waste places and
harvest all the crop grown. The past
few years have been years of prosperi-
ty to the tillers Of the soil. Land In
North Dakota has doubled in value,
and even now It gives substantial evil
dence Of greater advances during the
next few years. BY rotation of crops,
by soil culture and more intense farm
ing than in the past, and, above all, by
keeping the best breeds Of live stock
and feeding all the farm products to
the same, the aggregate Sf crops pro-
duced on the same land can be large
~ increased and the investor get
ample returns on his capital. There is
probably no section of the Northwest
that offers greater inducements, bet
ter opportunities and more certain
results than North Dakota. There is
no region that affords greater advan-
tages for diversified farming and
-stock-raising combined. Considering
the present low prices that land can
be bought for here, it is impossible
for the new settler to make a better
investment than the purchase of a
North Dakota farm.
