steam to be the most valuable. 1t

State Has No Recourse.

There is no legal weapon with
which the state may attack the alleg-
ed merger of the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern and the Duluth & Iron
Range roads.
This is the gist of an opinion rem
dered yesterday by the attorney gen.
era1 in response to the senate resolu-
tion adopted April, 1902.
Mr.. Douglas finds in response to the
request that he investigate the legal
aspect of the alleged consultations:
That the spirit of the Minnesota law
has been violated.
That it is doubtful if the steps
taken are violation of the letter of
the statutes.
That, if the letter has been violated,
there is no legal remedy open to the
state.

TO THE SOUTH POLE.

According to President Markham OF
the British Royal Geographic Soc.ety,
it is now proved concluz.,ely that the
anthracite region is covered by vast
continent. This conclusion is drawn
from the observations made be re-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

President Roosevelt is a great be-
lever in forests and their preserva-
ton Every American should also
be such a believer. The science OF
forestry in America has been utterly
neglected No country ever had grand
er trees than our own, no country ever
destroyed them so wantoniy. They
seemed ineNhaustible and were cut
down accordingly They can be
brought back il due care is taken and
those that remain are duly guarded
A healthy public sentiment on this
subject is being aroused and each
year it grows. Every interest of man
demands that all that can be done
to preserve and extend them be done
Who can forget that the groves
were Gods first temples?"

RAISE ONLY THE BEST.
In the Production of Fruits Success
Depends on Quality Rather
Than Quantity.

The value Of crop OF fruit depends
more upon its quality than quantity. No
matter how large the general fruit crop
may be, or how heavily the markets
may be glutted, good fruit will always
sell readily and at fair prices. Nor can
there be surplus grown. II not sold
Immediately the crops may be dried,
evaporated or canned, for there will ar
rive a time when such will be in de-
mand. Too much fruit has not yet been
produced during any season. When the
blackberry was made a cultivated crop
1t was predicted that, as the fence cor
ners and abandoned locations had al
ways afforded supply, the introduction
OF large quantities Of the cultivated
kinds would render prices too low to
realize profits; but as the crops were in
creased the berries were improved and
demand was created that grew with
the supply, the consequence being that
although carloads are shipped to our
large cities during the fruit season, the
prices have been higher than at any
other previous time, when the crop grew
wild. The same rule applies to other
fruit crops. AS the supply increases the
fruit growers endeavor to advance
prices by improving the size and quail
lty OF the fruit. There are many ways
open for preserving the crops Such
crops as apples, pears, peaches, plums
and cherries may be evaporated and
stored. while cider, wine and vinegar
are also products, to say nothing Of the
various methods of canning and pre-
serving the different kinds of fruit. In
venturing upon fruit growing the vari-
cites selected should be the best
adapted to the climate in which they
are to be grown, proliticacy, hardness
and quality beins the chief considera-
tons And 1t must not be overlooked
that some varieties require special cult
walton, while the character of the soil
is also an important factor. In market
ing fruit something depends upon the
mode Of shipment, while the manner Of
harvesting and the proper time for so
doing largely affects the keeping quail
ties. Like every other pursuit labor is
necessary. Preventing insect depreda-
tons and pruning at the right moment
call for good judgment and careful at
ntion.-Troy IN. ~ Times.
