West Virginia peach growers are in
terested in new disease which has
appeared in Michigan orchards, and
which, they fear. viii find it's way
hither. The malady is known as the
little peach " The east shore of LAKE.
Michigan is almost one continuous
stretch Of orchards. and this little I'M
derstood plant disease is rapidly spread
ing along it from the northern part,
where trees worth thousands of dollars
have already been felled to check it.
The largest peach crop on record is
now pouring into market, but the
growers fear for their trees in the
next few years. Horticultural experts
have studied the disease up and down
the coast, but so far the only remedy
discovered is the axe.

more feared, and, less understood than
the "yellows. which made clean
sweep in this state 30 years ago, and
was fought for 10 years before its
germs were stamped out. Then, as
now, it was less a question of curing
the disease than of discovering it at an
early stage and destroying the tree to
prevent the spread of the contagion.
"A single tree affected with little

ers who are making daily ins pections
of their trees and telling all which

CIVILIZING THE INDIANS.
for the Males to Have Their
Hair C~ut-Painting Faces and
Holding Dances Prohibited.

The commissioner of Indian affairs
has issued an order which in effect
compels all male Indians in the United
States to have their hair cut frequent
ly, or at least not to wear it long, and
as the Carlisle football team is not ex-
cepted the order probably applies to
them, too. Commissioner Jones hopes
by the order to assist the wards of the
government in their advancement to-
ward civilization, says the Washington
report.
The order is addressed to the various
Indian agents throughout the country,
and directs them to induce the male
Indians under their charge to cut their
hair, using force only when necessary.
He says that it will require consid-
cradle tact and perseverance to carry
out the order, and suggests the with
holding of supplies from recalcitrant
Indians until they comply, and the dis
charge of those who are employed by
the government unless they appear
with shorn locks. No long-haired Indi-
ans are to be employed.
If any Indian "becomeso bstreperous
about the MATTER" a short confinement
in the guardhouse after clipping their
hair, he thinks, will effect a cure.
The order also prohibits Indians of
both sexes from painting their faces
and forms, holding of dances and So
called Indian f%easts, and directs the
agents to encourage the Indians in
ADOPTING citizens CLOTHING instead of
the Indian costume and blanket. The
agents are also directed to report to
the commissioner before June 80 what
progress they have made in the sup
preston of the evils.

That this will be an important
year in the growth and develop
ment Of Devils Lake is generally
conceded by all who have closely
observed the trend Of events. The
Inter Ocean is a champion Of
peace and harmony. The growth
and prosperity Of all good towns is
based upon harmony and good
feeling among the business men
in particular and the community
in general. No town ever amounts
to much where there are knockers
standing around ready to strike
at anything for no other reason
than that some man whom they
dislike advocates it, The time has
arrived for Devils Lake to shake
off any crossroads ideas that may
be a handicap to it's growth. If
your competitor in business is the
champion of a meritous scheme,
push it along. In a business way
fight as hard as you like, but when
it comes to a question of public
good forget everything and stand
together. In this way, and in no
other. will Devils Lake get to the
front and take it's proper place
among the most progressive towns
of the northwest.

MISTAKES EASY TO MAKE.
An Old Engineer Relates One of His
Early Experiences in a Bad
Smash-Up on the Road.

ut is a pretty easy thing to make
a mistake in r~ailroading," said an old
engineer as he thought of the recent
wrecks on the Wabash and Iron
Mountain roads in whicht so many
lives were lost, states the Mexican
Herald. "As I understand it, those
wrecks were caused by defective or
ders. The train dispatcher sent out
his orders directing one train to pass
the other at a certain station. The
operator did not copy the order on
his manifold book, as he should have
done. Instead, he wrote it on a slip
OF paper and handed it to the en-
gineer. But in making the copy
the operator made a mistake and
changed the name of the station.
The collision was the only natural
result.

to pass a train at the next station.
I was just pulling out when I saw
the headlight of a locomotive loom
ing up close before me. Did I Jump?
I guess I did! The engines were
badly smashed, but, fortunately.
none of the passengers were badly
hurt, as I had reversed my engine
before I jumped and the other m
CINE was slowing down for the sta
ton when the collision came. An
examination showed that the origi-
nal order had been for our trains to
pass at the station which I had Just

THE ENGLISH KINGS WINE.
store of Each of Edwards
Palaces.

One result of the accession of Ed
ward VII. to the throne of England,
which should be of interest to con-
noisseurs of wine. is that it has be-
come necessary to prepare new labels
for the kings wine, one for each
palace. The new labels bear the royal
crown, the initials "E. R." and the
name of the palace as "Windsor cas-
tie" These will be placed on all
the wine purchased for the future,
but the old labels on the wine laid
down in sthe last reign will not be
disturbed, for they are an interest
ing testimony of age, says a London
paper.
The late queen had two labels, the
one with "V. R." on it she used
throughout the early part of her
reign and the n with "V. R. l." was
made after the royal titles act. Wine
which bears the former label must
have been in the royal cellars for
over 20 years. Similarly the wine in
the cellars at Marlborough house is
all marked with a label bearing the
prince of Wales feathers, the initials
"P: w" and the name marlborough
house." This will not be disturbed,
and in view of future contingencies
no new label will be introduced. An
other popularity of the royal cellars
which is worth noticing is the fact
that the bottles of champagne bear
no label but the royal label. This is
due to the fact that the wine is
brought in hogsheads from the man
ufacturer and bottled in the royal
cellars.

Blessings and many more.

The philosopher of our esteem
led contemporary, the Free Press,
labors hard to make it appear that
the Inter- Ocean gave Mr.. Hill and
his merger scheme its endorsement
4stwo weeks after the Free Press
and other Independent papers of
the state chad unqualifedly ex-
pressed their approval Of the
same. The real truth of the mat
ter is hat the Inter Ocean had en-
tirely overlooked the fact that the
Free Press had ever expressed"
itself on this important question.
But even so, it would not have had
the slightest effect upon the course
of this paper, which adheres
strictly to the homely adage of
''be sure you are right and then go
ahead" The Inter-O Ocean does
not adopt a policy one week to be
changed the next. It is perhaps
unfortunate that it's editorial staff
does not embrace a far-seeing, Wig
~orous writer, with stiff back bone,
such as our up-street neighbor is
fortunately possessed of. The
merger question has been before
the country several months, yet it.
was only very recently that our
esteemed contemporary delivered
itself of it's famous editorial in
which it "unquali6edly expressed"
approval of the scheme. Now that
our attention has been called to it,
we do remember that there has
recently been shocks of earthquake
felt in different parts Of the
scountry-as far south as Mexico.
That back bone" editorial thund-
sering along, likely enough, gain,
ing increased momentum the
further away it gets from the home
of its origin.

WORTHY THE BLESSINGS.
Major Edwards, in his Fargo
Forum, pays Devils Lake, the
surrounding country and our
people this testimonial which we
:all greatly appreciate:
Pending the opening Of the Fort
"Totten Indian reservation, the
people Of Devils Lake are making
extensive preparations for aperiod
of boom, with the coming offspring.
The quality of land to be thrown
open to settlement is such that
settlers and landmen are even now
making preparations to take adj
vantage of the parceling. It is ex-
pected that the opening will bring
at least 10000 people to Devils
Lake. This, in connection with
the yearly migration Of pleasure
seekers to the Chautauqua, will
tend to, make the Satan City a
veritable Paradise Regained.
Ramsey County bids fair to be-
come one Of the most substantial
parts of the state. The native
vigor of the soil makes it the haven
of the Industrious settler, while
the superlative magnifcence Of it's
landscape, the soft languishing'
charm Of it's lake. shore scenery,
the balm Of it's song-burdened
breezes, are wonders that would
>entice. the stern stoicfromh his work
and make him forgetful Of the en-
crossing duress of life's dear ira
wall. The people of Devils Lake
! however, are worthy Of all these
blessings and many more,

City Attorney Townsend is
quoted as saying: "The power of
the several states to regulate rates
and service is the only legal safe
feasible, and that power
will be just as effective in the
future as in the past and affords
ample protection to the people
against imposition" This, as an
expression with reference to the
merger question, is in direct line
with the position recently taken
by the Inter- Ocean. If nothing
good comes out Of it, the remedy
lies with the people.
