Stevenson's Dream.

The idea for "Jekyll and Hyde"
came to Stevenson in a dream, and he
began 1t as soon as he rose on the
following morning. His wife could
hardly get him away from his stable
even for meals. The first draft OF the
tale was finished within seven days.

Protection Insures Prosperity.

The calamityites are peering through
their pessimistic telescopes for the
least sign in the break of prosperity,
but in vain. Our present good times
are based on a condition that is not
affected by droughts, strikes or other
temporary causes. So long as we are
enabled by protection to do our own
work, so long will we continue to be
prosperous.

SEC. WILSON ON
.CRANBERRIES
Extract From His Report in Re.
ference to Cranberries of
Wisconsin.
LACK OF COOPERATION
CAUSED LITIGATION
Estimated Loss From Frost in
Cranmoor and Ma Their Placed
at SIS. 900.

Secretary Wilson gives an exhauS-
tive report this year on the cranberry
industry of Wisconsin, an abstract of
which follows:
An investigation OF the require
ments of cranberry irrigation is being
carried on in cooperation with the
state experiment station of Wiscon-
| sin. This investigation includes a
study Of both the irrigation and
drainage requirements of this crop.
The success of the cranberry industry
depends upon the proper use and con-
troll of water. 1t must be applied at
the right time, and it must be with
drawn quickly at the right time.
Until the last few years no attempt
was made by cranberry growers in
Wisconsin to exercise control over the
water. II nature failed to cover the
vines at the right time or uncovered
them at the wrong time the crop
would suffer. The severe droughtIof
1895 almost destroyed the industry in
that state. With it's revival better
methods are being adopted; dams are
being built to collect the surface
water; canals are being constructed
to carry water pumped from streams.
The development of the industry and
the extension Of the area under culti-
vation have brought new difficulties.
Mere water is needed, requiring
larger bitches. Greater uniformity in
the matter of drawing of water is
imperative to prevent the operations
Of one neighbor damaging those below
him. Much litigation has been
caused by lack of arrangements for
cooperation and by the construction
of inadequate works. The calls for
more knowledge as to the principles
which should govern in this work,
which this department is endeavor-
ing to collect and provide. The re-
suits OF the present year, while not
show how greatly the
success OF this industry will be pro.
NOTED by an efficient system OF canals |
for getting the water onto the ground
and getting it of. On June IL Of
this year there was danger of frost !
Those who had proper bitches saved
their crops. Those who we're not so
provided lost them. A conservative |
estimate of the loss 10 the CranmOor
and Mather regions places this loss at |!
S25, 900. The damage due to impro-
per drains in this region which pre-
vented the removal Of the water in |
time was greater than that from
frost, so that from these two items in
the districts there was net loss this |
year OF over $75, 900, sum which |
would probably by nearly sufficient to !
construct system OF canals to meet |
the demands of both districts.

take a few good leases if they
were offered. Well, John Hem
nv is not the only one of the
Cherokee leaders who is hov-
ering around the land Office
making a nice thing out of Poor
Lo. It looks to me like the
whole push are interwoven in
to a great "grafting" business.
That these parties have privi-
leges around the land office that
others on the out side do not
possess is not to be doubted and
if there is not a.whole lot Of rot
tenness connected with some of
their proceedings it is different
from the way it looks. The
truly sad part oft is, that these
poor and ignorant Indians are
being led estray and ruined by
their own learders. Every ed
itor and person in every other
calling who cares anything for
the poor Cherokee should ad-
wise him to stand by his land
and not let anyone have it in
any manner unless it be an
honest farmer who will rent it
for what it is worth. But down
with the "grafter, and at once.
He is the worst kind of a blood
sucker, and down with the man
who will lead his own people to
financial ruin. But someone
will say, this will stop the pro-
gress Of the country. say the
country had better 60 a little
slower than to have lO,OO0
Cherokee paupers on our hands
which will be the case if they
forever dispose of their lands
and get nothing, comparatively
for them. This is not sentiment
it is fact. Let the Chero-
kee stand byl his land as an in
diyidual, as he did by the pat
ent Of the whole nation, and he
will be doing the right thing.
Now is the time for my old
friend "Too-quas-tee" to arise
and say something to his peo-
pie for they are being robbed.
This is only the start to get
deeds for the lands, and when
the Cherokee sells this land he
will never have any more, and
he will be homeless FOR the first
time since the beginning Of the
tribe. The sentiment in the
old song written by John How
ard Payne more than two gen.
erations ago is just as dear to
the hearts Of the average Amer
lean today as then. "There is
no place like home, " so let the
Cherokee stand by his home,
for when this one IS gone he
will never be able to get another.

were numerous, passing in and
out Of the Office attending to
contest cases, which seemed to
me to constitute fully one half
Of all cases filed. / was told
that good proportion of these
contests were caused by unscru-
pulous parties advising one citi-
zen to file on another's land.
In some cases this is all right
when it is on the land Of an ex-
cessive land holder, but in many
cases it causes a poor man to
pay out 800 to $3.50 to defend
his Just and lawful claims. The
attorneys charge from $40 to
$50 in these contest cases, and
this with expenses and hire Of
a witnesses makes the cost come
high. This should be more
guarded by the officers as the
big majority OF the citizens can
not file being unable to get into
the land Office, but have to await
their turn, and it will be per-
haps two years before the last
one has fled. Hence to allow
some other citizen to jump his
land is a very great iniustice ia
say the least.
Aside from these contest
cases is the "grafter" going in
and out getting information as
to whether certain tracts oil
land have been fled on. Others
have an Indian in tow, worm
ing him through the Office pur.
