1t will not remain long at the present
figures, but on the contrary is stiffen-
ing up every month No matter whether
you are an actual farmer or simply buy
ing for an investment, you can't lose any
money on proposition of this kind. Land
has risen from practically no value at all

years: and compared to prices in Iowa
and Southern Minnesota it is almost like
getting 1t for nothing, especially in view
OF the fact that its productiveness is far
ahead OF these localities. where land is

That there is an active demand for
Cavalier county land is but shown by an
extract from the st. Thomas Times. which
hlts the nail squareIy on the head, and
it is as follows:
Most of US were prepared to see high
prices PAID for school lands in the Red
River valley. and to hear of active com

any, We're prepared for the result in Cav

parcels of school and institution lands

any of this land was $30.75 per acre. while
much of the land brought from sis to

county exceeded S14. Most of the land
was purchased by residents of Cavalier
county, who have resided near it and
know it's value. Many bidders were pres
ent from Iowa, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, but they were mostly outbid by the
citizens of Cavalier county. Land Com

county sale the most satisfactory yet

OUR PORT.

Mississippi is no longer dependent
on other states for port, but little
as people may think of it, she has one
now that promises, within the next
few years, to be as good as any in the
land. What is going on at Gulfport
is for the benefit Of the entire people
of the State. A telegram from that
city says that the tESt ship load OF
bananas arrived there the other day.
Hereafter, the fruit ships from the
tropics will put in a: Gulfport. This
will result in giving the entire State
cheaper fruit. The port Of New Or
leans is SO tied up with regulations,
both by the labor unions and the
owners OF the wharves that it costs a
great deal to put in at that port.
This charge, OF course, is added to the
price OF the fruit to the consumer.
The Gulfport fruit can come up the
Gulf and Ship island railroad to this
city and be distributed to all parts of
the state good deal cheaper than
from New Orleans. The deep water
hafbor is going to do great work for
the state, a work that cannot be done
by an outside port. Few people in
Mississippi apparently realize the
advantages to be derived from this
port, but1n time as they become more
manifest they will be appreciated to. .

AMERICAN SHOE INDUSTRY.
The Output of Footwear In This
Country Is Something
Enormous.

The books, shoes and slippers made
by machinery in the United States
every year would provide a pair of
some kind for more than one-seventh
of the inhabitants of the earth. II
they were arranged by pairs, heels
and toes touching, they would make
a belt that would encircle the globe,
with enough to spare to stretch
across the North American continent
from New York to San Francisco.
Placed singly, heel and toe, they
would go around the world two and
a half times. If placed on the tracks
of our great trunk railroads. the
rights on one rail and the lcfts on
the other, they would cover the irons
from the Atlantic to the Pacific of all
the continental lines that now cross
our country, says a shoe journal.
The hides and skins used to form
this immense quantity of shoes come
from all over the world, but chiefly
from the East Indies, South America
and Europe, and if they were sewed
together in one sheet they would
make tent large enough to cover
Manhattan island.

SILK HATS IN JAPAN.
Some Queer Specimens Are Worn by
Men Who Affect European
Fashions.

The Japan Weekly Advertiser has
few words to say about the aping
of western customs by the Japanese.
and takes for its text the foreign
clothes seen on citizens of the flow
cry empire. 1t says:
Men of fair status are frequently
to be seen wearing silk hats Of ante
diluvian pattern, with ordinary ma
tive costume down to geta and zori.
"As for The hats. where the blocks
come from is mystery, but the fact
remains that Bowery or White
chapel tough would be ashamed to
go abroad in some of the abortions
masquerading as powders and top
pers, which are as common as per-
simmons in Japan.
Here is case where the natives
cannot excuse themselves on the
ground that they have no model to
go by. A glance at the first for
eigner should be sufficient to teach
them that hard hat worn over the
ears, and measuring scarcely more
than two inches in height from the
brim to the crown, is not fashion
able adjunct of European costume in
the twentieth century, though it
might have been so 80 years ago"
The wearing of silk hat with a
kimono is, says the Advertiser, 1.-The
outward and visible sign of certain
intellectual inaptitude."
