The vast bench lands Of the Mis-
souri, river in North Dakota are des-
tined to support a great population of
prosperous Z farmers instead of being
devoted to the raising of crops of wild
hay. G. E Mitchell, secretary of the
National Irrigation association, says:
.From the standpoint, of a layman
believe the Missouri benches to be ca
pable of the cheapest and simplest ir-.
rigation. of almost any lands in the
United States.
IA short trip of Gen. Williams and
myself up the Missouri on the Wash
burn, piloted. by Capt. Grant Marsh,
disclosed large benches, comprising
tens of thousands of acres, twenty,
thirty or thirty-ave feet above the
river level, which presented conditions
for ideal irrigation by pumping. The
land is fertile, the water supply UNI.
limited and the Ignite fuel readily
available. There seems no reason why
an enormous irrigation development
should not ensue. In glancing over the
report Of Prof. Wilder. formerly Of
the North Daokta geological survey, !
find chapter on irrigation in which
he gives some interesting figures on
irrigation pumping, and these would
in my opinion apply to tens Of thou
sands Of acres of Missouri benches,
viewed by Gen. Williams and myself.
Prof. Wilder says:
Throughout the western part Of
North Dakota the Ignite furnishes a
cheap and available fuel for irrigation
purposes. Fisher Brothers of Green
river, a small tributary of the Heart,
seven miles north of Dickinson, have
irrigated for two years, pumping water
from the river. The lift is fifteen feet
and centrifugal pump with dis
charge pipe having an inside diameter
of eight inches is used. With this
pump, which is driven by an ordinary
farm engine, 1 800 gallons minute are
easily raised fifteen feet. The cost of
the pump delivered is $3.50.
"A1r. Fisher estimates that even in a
dry season he would have no difficulty
in irrigating 200 acres with his present
equipment. Two dollars worth OF coal
was burned day, the coal costing SO
cents ton. At. Riley, on the, Little
Heart river, near Gladstone last year
irrigated twenty acres by means OF 9
dam thrown across Jaw. Next
year he purposes to irrigate sixty acres
by q centrifugal pump. Ignite Is
found on his farm, outcropping In q
four-foot seam. and can be had for the
mere labor Of mining.
Hundreds of localities" continues
Prof. Wilder, .'are as favorably situat-
ed as these; and as the population In
the western part Of the state increases
irrigation will become common. Away
from the streams wells will very often

THE USE OF APPLES.
Dietetio Value Of This Common and
Best Of All Fruit.

One medical writer says: "The
more mellow apples one eats the
better, provided they be taken at
mcaltimc. 1t is best of all to eat
fruit before meals, and freely as
You like"
This will prevent loading the sys-
TEN with u heavy weight of less di-
gcstiblc foods. The no breakfast
fad tells us that We must not only
go without the morning meal, but
that We must live much more largely
upon fruit. Some of its disciples
insist that the apple may be taken
in the place of the ordinary break
fast, John Wesley once referred to
apple dumplings as an illustration
of the alarming advance of luxuries
in England. Charles Lamb quotes
friend who says that "a man can
not have pare mind who refuses
apple dumplings," and DR.. Johnson
speaks of clergyman of his ac-
quaintancc who brought his family
up almost altogether on this Anglo
Saxon combination. We have rec
objections of dumplngs which might
accord with the opinion of Lamb,
and then We have rccolections of
other dumplings which might have
been the origin of Calvinism. 1t
must be borne in mind that the
ideal apple is one that is fit to be
eaten raw, yet the glorious old
Spitzenburg is only fit for the cook,
in whose hands it becomes the very
perfection of pie apples. The nine
tccnth century went out with mar
velous evolution of new sorts of
fruits Of all kinds, but there was
nothing in the list to exceed the de-
licious juices of the Northern Spy,
the Macintosh Red, the Shannon or
the Stuart's Golden.
There is nothing in the world to
exceed the beauty of the apple bios
som, while the air is laden with an
exquisite perfume that has charmed
hundred generations, has added to
the poesy, the love and the comfort
of Greek, of Roman and of Briton.
But if there be anything more beau
tiful than the apple in blossom it
is the same tree loaded down with
crimson and golden fruit. Then it
is that the apple touches human ma
ture and wakens in the housekeeper
the highest conceptions of the sci
ence and the fine art of dietetics.-

Republican Governor in New York.

New York, Nov. S.-Theodore Roose-
velt's plurality in this. his native state,
is second only to McKinley's 26S,0o0 in
1896. 1t exceeds Mckinley's in 1900 by
about 1850. The late returns show
that there were cast for him in New
York State about 1856 900 votes more
than for Parker Not only was his
vote heavy in the country districts,
where the Republican strongholds are,
but in the Greater New York, tradi-
tionally Democratic, he ran much closer
to Judge Parker than had been ex-
pected, even by his own campaign man
ayers.
In the Greater New York Parker's
plurality was from 10000 to 1900
larger than Bryan's, but in the state,
according TO the late reports, his to-
tai vote fell 10000 short of Bryan's.
