David Houston, the model far
mer from Burlington, states that
he will put in forty acres OF crop
this season, but he will put it in
we'll. Mr.. Houston raised per-
haps the best oats ever seen in
the county which stood six feet
high. The oats averaged 100
bushels to the acre. The variety
was White Russian. He plowed
the ground deep and got down
to where there was new fresh
dirt. The North Dakota soil is
the most productive of any in
the United States and Mr.. Hous-
ton by his careful farming has
proven this. He believes that a
farmer should have in 100 acres
OF crop to make much money.
He will not raise any Macaroni
wheat, as he is not sure the mar
ket will be good. He will how
ever SOW Il few acres OF the old
kind. Mr.. Houston is interested
in one of the best coal mines in
the state of North Dakota. 1t
was formerly known as the Hous-
ton mine, but is now owned by a
company, known as the Eureka
Coal Co. The mine has not been
in operation, but will be opened
for business the first of the
month. The mine has a II foot
vein.

Real Estate Co., the largest real

Herrick was able to secure the
appointment only after giving
the best of references. The COM
pany owns and controls real es-
tate all over the United States
but is particularly interested in
lots in Brooklyn, N. Y. They
own 1900 acres of town lots in
that city. The company propos-
es to sell those lots to business
men in every part of the United
States, and will do business on
the installment plan, paying the
railroad fare of the purchaser
from Chicago to Brooklyn and
return. The idea is q Lowell one

Herrick mag leave in q short

OF prospective purchasers. He j,

The Nome nugget., 1904-03-16
ETHIOPIAN IN The WOODPlLE.

A Seattle correspondent of THE NUGGET
intimates that law may be passed by Con
gress suspending assessment work on claims
for definite number of years, because of
the lack of transportation facilities, and be-
cause the government derives no revenue
therefrom. While it will be admitted that
much of the assessment work done not only
in Alaska but elsewhere, is sham, we fail
to see where the suspension of assessment
work for few years would benefit any one
except large mining corporations and blanket
locators 1t will not, as our correspondent
truthfully remarks benefit the poor miner.
The passage of such a law would make the
man with little money at his command SUI
preme indeed, vitality injuring the real miner
and the prospector and the field of labor.
To enact such law would Individually be a
direct blow to the development of the coun-
try. Conditions as they now exist are bad
enough but it seems to be the desire of some
one or other, or a clique on the outside to
enter upon career of spoliation in Alaska.
That is in nutshell what the proposal to
do away with assessment work really means.
The Nome nugget., 1904-03-16

On the subject of a representation in
Congress the committee is silent, according
to the Associated Press report, but it is admit
ted that it is ''the universal opinion among
all classes" that Alaska should be represent
ed by delegation in Congress; and likewise
it is acknowledged that the Senators en-
countered, during their Alaskan trip, agita-
ton for the establishment of territorial
form of government. This is not recommend
ed, however, because of the sparse perma-
nent white population, which 1.-THE commit
tee believes will not exceed 10000.
The report also suggests the necessity
''for rendering some support to the native
population, and because of the alleged strin-
gency of the game laws, it is considered
that the condition of ''theSe classes is to be
deplored"
The report of the Senatorial committee
is remarkable only for what it does not con
tain. 1t is mainly filled with trite truisms,
while the recommendations are of the most
lukewarm and hating kind. To claim that
Alaska has a permanent white population
not to exceed 200 is an assumption not
susceptible Oh PROOF, ana IL must nave
