What Mr.. Davis Has to SAY

The sum and substance of Mr.. Davis
letter is that what the country needs ia
not change in policies, but a change
in parties. Mr.. Davis rejoices in the
things that have been done and are be-
ing done by the present administration.
but he seems to fancy that the demo-
Gratis ought to be given a char ce to show
that they can hold office without dis
turbing the machinery of state which
the republicans have got into such fine
running condition. Nr. Davis is dream
ing beautifully, and the voters will be
careful not to waken him.-Chicago Post

Dogs trained to catch fish are
among the features of everyday life
on the barren shores Of that distant
part of Labrador which belongs to
Newfoundland, The cod fisheries
along the 1,100 miles of Labrador's
coast yield about one-ffth of New
foundland's total catch and furnish
employment annually to thousands of
fisher folk. They fish with lines from
$50 to 200 fathoms long, two men to
a boat, and each man using two hand
lines The usual bait is capelin.
When fish are plentiful it takes a very
short time to fill a boat with cod.

The great Importance of Prof Pick
ering's photographs and the conclu-
sions he draws from them is that they
show the possibility of life on the
moon, because, if they are correct,
they prove that the moon has an at.
mosphere containing the yapor of wa
Ter. IN other words, if the moon has
snow and clouds it may have organic
vegetation, as he believes-and
If vegetation, then animal life. This
idea, in itself, is revolutionary. for the

duced in Spain annually in the last
ten years is 557251 900 gallons. In
1900 the product was 500, ,S66O00 gal

represents a loss of nearly $30,000,-

Democracy in Sad Plight.

What we may know for sure is that
the country does not regret any Of The
leading achievements of the past eight
years Of republican rule. We speak thus
confidently, for the democratic party
now stands confessed before the coun-
try as having been in error in its oppo-
sition to the most important of these
measures. 1t is seeking the election
with platform which virtually con-
fesses that the party was wholly wrong
in the last two presidential campaigns.
1t has candidate who openly confesses
that it was wrong in every vital partic-
ular. 1t comes pleading that it has seen
the error of its ways and that as a re-
formed bungler it can safely be trusted
with power. 1t has no argument or
charge to make against the general sum
of republican politics.-Kansas Ci.y

Or. Lapponl's Letter.

II certify that l have used DR..
Williams Pink Pills i'll four cases
of the simple anamia of develop
ment. After few weeks of treat
ment, the result came fully up tony
expectations. For that reason [
shall not fail III the future to extend
the use of this laudable preparation
not only in the treatment of other
forms of the category Of an9mia or
chlOrOsis, but also in cases of neuras-
thenia and the like. "
(Signed) GIUSEPPE LAPPoNI,
Via del Gracchi 332, Rome.
The "simple anamia of Development
referred to by DIR. Lapponi, is of course,
that tired, languid condition of young
girls, whose development to womanhood
is tardy and whose health, at that period,
is so often imperiled. His opinion of
the value of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People at that time is of the
highest scientific authority, and it con-
firms the many published cases in which
an2mia and other diseases of the blood.
as well as nervous diseases such as ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, st. Vitus'
dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia
hare been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public for their
efficiency in making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they will be ac-
cepted by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.

DIR. Lapponi, the famous physician to

come SO greatly to the front on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
Pope, His Holiness Plus X, is man of
commanding genius. He is more than
a mere man of science; he is a man Of
original and independent mind. I'm
tranmeled by the "etiquette Of the
medical profession and having used Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
of this remedy with an authority which
no one will venture to question.

Without formalities or ceremo-
nies, exactly at six o'clock Satur-
day evening the United States
registration office was closed,
and the list Of those who thus
qualified for homesteads on. the
reservation was completed. The
registrations for the day were
about the same as on the other
days since the first one, and the
only difference noticeable was the
fact that those who registered
were from a greater distance
than the early ones. They came
to remain until after the draw
ings, and so came late. The last
one to register was Charles Hen
ley Of this city, who has been
door keeper at the registration
Office. The next before him was
undertaken John Nimmo, also Of
this city, who thus nearly main
tanned the reputation of his craft
of being the last man to get
money out Of anything. Henley
seems to have cheated the under
taker in this instance. The
total registrations in this city
We're 1886, and the total for both

made in these columns Of a
gentleman who was advised to go
over the Farmers railroad to
Starkweather by County Auditor
Eich, on the understanding that
if he was not satisfied with his
trip, Mr.. Eich would refund his
fare. Thursday Mr.. Eich re-
ceived a letter from a prominent
merchant Of the town in
which the gentleman lived, stat
ing that he had been told Of the
country by the gentleman and
asked if he could purchased few
carload lots Of potatoes in this
section. While it is to be re-
gretted that North Dakota has
not used her opportunities as a
potato growing state, it is
worthy Of note that the people
who come here are carrying home
Caleb and Joshua reports Of the

more level than Ida county; soil
not SO deep and contains more

unusually good soil for wheat.
Conside derable rain is needed, es-

Devils Lake
Far Ahead

Notwithstanding the misrepre-
sentations made by Grand Forks
boomers, this city has made an
enviable reputation during this
registration. One man who reg
istered at Grand Forks and then
came on here, expressed his sur
prise at the order found in the
city. To the Inter- Ocean repre-
sentative he said he had been led
to believe that Devils Lake was
a mere hamlet Of one story build
ings, without sidewalks, street
lights, hotels, or other conven-
fences. II was thoroughly sur
prised,' said he, when I found
your city with the best pave
ments / ever saw, with splendid
brick business blocks. with drug
stores that for beauty so far sur
pass those Of Grand Forks that
the latter is entirely distanced,
with department and clothing
stores, and other businesses
ahead Of Grand Forks. The
order and quietness of the city
is something remarkable, es-
pecially after I was led to be
lieve that the tough element
was in control. Were | select
ing a business location ! would
certainly take Devils Lake be
fore Grand Forks, and as for
farms, this section is SO far
ahead Of that, that a man with
any business foresight need only
see the two places to decide in
favor of this. / am thoroughly
enthusiastic over Devils Lake,
and viii be glad to have you say
50.

tury. Barley was also sown and matured at Fort Yukon, though the straw was very short.
 Only few years ago there was pOpu- lar superstition to the effect that cattle and horses could not live on the Yukon, because of the intense cold. Of course, this fallacy has been disproved long since. Yet as early as 1856 a bull and COW were sent to Fort Yukon by the Hudson Bay Company. They did well for some time, but the COW, while grazing on the river bank, was precipitated upon a rock by the giving way of the soil and killed. Due notice was given of the ac cident, but for several years, in the annual supply of goods for Fort Yukon, the small quantum of butter usually sent was with held, on the ground that there were cattle" at that post. Finally the commander killed the bull, determined if he could not have butter that he would at least have beef In 1868 cows, sheep and goats were introduced upon St. Paul island. The Aleuts had been requested to provide hay, but, not knowing how to cure it, the whole was spoiled On the arrival of the cattle, early in the winter, there was nothing for them to eat They were, therefore, as the only resort shel tered at night and turned out to shift for themselves daily during the winter They found abundant forage in the native wild barley, and not only were we'll fed, but be came exceedingly sleek and fat In Cooks inlet, cattle fiourished. Hogs were placed on low island in 1925 and multiplied ex ceedingly on the wild parsnips and other native plants, but they were destroyed by tidal wave which swept over the island dur
 ing the eruption of the volcano on the neighboring island of Unimak, two years after.
 Now, after many years, cattle raising is to be again tried on the, Aleutian islands. That it will succeed is certain, if properly directed. Furthermore, within ten years that and other sections of Alaska will not only supply the home market for beef, but will export it as we'll, and the Pacific slope will derive it's best butter and cheese from Alaska.
