The Huronite has discovered that
the citizens of Mitchell have been
assessed $50, 600 for this years use in
the capital campaign. The interest
ing part Of it is that it is too good
news to be true. The Huronite should
make another guess and not be spar
ing Of figures in dong it. Since John
was chairman of the appropriations
committee in the house figures have
become p%laythings and $50, 900 seems
but a bit Of pocket change. John
should get down on earth once more.

The Tools of the EEyptians.


The ancient Egyptians had tools for
stone working equal to anything in use
today. They used both solid and tubu-
lar drills and straight and circular
saws. The drills were set with Jewels,
probably corundum. and even lathe
tools had such cutting edges. So re-
markable was the quality of the tubu.
lar drills. it is said, and the skill of
the workmen that the cutting marks
in the hard granite give no indication
of the wear of the tool. while a cut of
a tenth part of an inch vas made in
TIE hardest rock at each revolution,
and a hole through both the hardest
and softest material was bored perfect
ly smooth and uniform throughout. OF
the material and method of making the
tools nothing is known.

CANADA is HEARD FROM.

& few months ago The Republican
published in its weekly edition. The
Capital, a letter written by J. M.
Scott, from Hermattan, in the Al
berta country, Canada. Tie letter
set forth some facts that had been
encountered personally in the agri-
cultural conditions in that country,
and which have not been exploited to
any great extent by the land agents
who have land for sale. The other
day we received a marked copy of
the Montreal, Canada, Family Her.
aid and Weekly Star, which paper
copies the letter of Mr.. Scott from
The Capital and to the extent Of a
column and a half %endeavors to show
where Nh. Scott is maligning the
Canadian farming country. To do
this the Canadian paper gives the
experiences of lei who are residing
there showing what marvellous crops
are raised. We presume the state
ments are correct as applies to certain
localities in Canada and perhaps to
the Alberta country. If we had the
space we could publish a dozen let
tiers from parties who have gone to
Alberta, which would add but more
evidence to Mr.. Scott's letter Here
is the portion Of a letter published in
the Emmons County Advocate, Lin
ton, N. D., June 4, 1903. 1t is writ
ten by L. J. Broiseau, who emil
grated to the Alberta country in De-
cember, 1902:
Dear Sir: 1 will write you a few
lines to let you know that we got
here safe and that all are we'll. I
was badly disappointed in the coun-
try. 1t is not what it is represented
to be. 1t is the poorest country on
the face of the earth. The O

and the market is from IS to 2Oc per

Soon as God will let me. Tell them
il they want to leave South Dakota
not to come here if they don't want
hard times. There is no wages out
here or anything else. I will be back
before long.
Mr.. Scott made his letter quite
strong, bat the above seems to cor
roborate the statements as to crop
productions and of the long and ex-
ceedingIy cold winters. II there are
any farmers who desire to 60 to AL
berta after having read the Scott let

We have sought the fairy gold,
 Hid in natures secret store, Lying deep beneath the drift, Glacier-laid for years untold Hoarded with a jealous thrift.
 Dip the paddle, man the oar!
 For the summers work is done. We have watched the timid leaf
 That the shivering aspen bore, Bud, unfold, and come to prime; We have heard it's whispered grief, Shrivelled by the sudden rime;
 Dip the paddle, man the air! Winter races on our trail,
 River, roadways wind before, Down toward the ocean strand; At our backs a northern gale Drives us from the swooning land.
 Dip the paddle, man the oar! Hear the watchers left behind.
 Shout a farewell from the shore! Shout! for weary months will fly Ere they hear upon the wind The river r-boatman's 8 welcome cry:
 Dip the paddle, man the oar! Warning snow-fakes whistle past,
 Haste we through the canyons door Flee the deathly trance that rides On the passage of the blast, While the hidden life abides;
 Dip the paddle, man the oar! Down along the wooded reach,
 Onward where the rifles roar, Chopped and chattering on the bar; Sleeping on the gravel beach, Dreaming of the home afar;
 Dip the paddle, man the oar! Out beyond the rivers mouth
 Free we glide; the swans that soar, Trumpeting the glad refrain, Reckon us toward the south; An the spray is salt again.
