gle group Of mines in the heart OF the
city, the Anaconda. yields more than
twice as much copper yearly as all
Germany. Nor is the treasure confined
to copper. Butte is the greatest silver
producing center in the United States.
Its annual output, some $13,OO0.O00. be-

the states. And Of gold Butte still
yields considerably over $l.OO0.0OO

ATTENTION is called by Pres. Worst
of the agricultural college to the fact
that the demand is much greater than
the supply for men educated on scientific
and practical lines in agriculture. He
says that he frequently receives letters
from owners of large farms asking for
information that will enable them to
secure salaried managers of their farms.
educated, able to handle men, and who
are informed on the subject of breeding
cattle, and the general management OF
land. Such man must understand the
chemistry of soils, so as to be able tc
know what to plant on different lands
and must possess in additional to prac.
tical information, scientific education of
the kind that is procured at an agricul.
tural college. President Worst calls
attention to the fact that along other
lines of educational work, there is a
great abundance of labor to be had
But agriculture seems to to be avoided

THE country learns through the secre-
tary of agriculture that the prices of
cattle on the hoof in the west have
fallen 4o per cent since September and
are now close to normal. This. he
claims, furtills his prediction of some
months ago that by Christmas the
American people would be buying beef
at about the old figures. But he quotes
prices being paid by meat packers to the
cattlemen and not made by the packers
and other dealers to consumers Tho
cattlemen are the first to experience a
lowering of prices, and it is with the
dressed meat crowd to say when the re-
duction shall be passed along to the
consumer. 1t hasn't come vet to any
noticeable extent.

FRox all the fuss they have made
about it it might have been inferred
that during recent years Canadians had
about driven American agricultural ex-
ports out of the British market. At any
rate a listener to the noise would con-
clude that Canadian exports to Great
Britain were bounding up at an unparal-
leled rate. From summary of the re-
port of Consul General Boyle at Liver
pool it appears that SO far there has been
more noise than substance in Canadian
claims. Notwithstanding the extraor-
dinary efforts of the Canadians to cap
ture the British market, it seems that
the British imports of Canadian pro-
ducts actually fell off S, ,947, ,13Olast year,
and were the smallest in four years, the
total being, however, the very respect
able figure of s99,272,925. The wheat
expectations of Canada to Great Britain
in 1901 increased scarcely at all over
those Of the preceding year, and the
-four shipments gained but little more
It is to be supposed, however, that the
effects Of the bumper Canadian wheat
crop Of 1901 will not appear in British
commercial statistics until the figures
for 1902 are published. While we have
no disposition to underrate the posi-
bilities Of Canadian competition with
the United States in the British mar
kets, in the matter of foodstuffs, We
must say that it does not appear that
your Uncle Sam is going to lie down
and quit Just because Canada is doing
tolerably we'll.

HE Commoner. Hon. w. J. Bryan's
paper, will be especially interesting and
Instructive during the present session of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
which the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commoner proposes
to carry on campaign of education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph. The Com
moner as whole is clean, entertaining
and instructive, and its rapid increase
IN clrculatlon-now amounting to 100000

influence.

JUST now about nine out of every ten
of the republican papers of this state are
finding much to complain of in the work
ing of our present jury system, and seem
to lose sight of the fact that trial by a
jury of twelve fellow citizens is one of
our inalienable rights. Trial by jury
was one of the principles fought for in
the revolution and it is a little late to
try to wean us back to trial by judges
who may be biased. Especially by
judges who may be appointed and are
naturally biased in favor of the appoint.

The report Of the State Geological
Survey is cut and ready for distribution.
It is devoted principally to q consider
alton Of practical and theoretical ques-
tions in regard to the Ignite coal of
North Dakota The vast extent Of the
coal deposits is demonstrated and data
given to show their significance to the
state. Mines within the state have a
total output valued at s500,0O0 an
nually and are fully described. From
the facts set forth in this report it is
probable that the coal output of North
Dakota will reach million dollars next
year. The report will be used to furnish
information to the constantly increasing
number of inquirers in regard to North
Dakota's coal and mineral deposits.

schools and higher educational institu-
tions of the state will be furnished with
copies, and as long as the supply lasts
they will be sent on request to persons
in the state who secure an endorsement
to their request by state senator or
representative from their district. 1t

will be distributed without waste. Let
