Giant from Indian Territory.

One Of the delegates sent by Indian
territory to the democratic national
convention was c. A. Skeen, who stands
six feet three inches in his stockings
and is a big man even for his stature.
Mr.. Skeen, a most veracious man, It
would appear, said In an interview: II
am sorry that none Of the big men Of
the territory was able to attend this
convention. They were all busy and
SO they said that the little fellows, who
are not Of go much use at work, must
come along. Some Of the men In the
territory are SO big that they are no.
able to travel. The car seats and the
hotel beds are all too small for them
So they stay at home. But that is no
hardship for a man who lives In Indian

Examples that would bear out the

all would but tend to prove that the

greatest educator Of the age. We read
the histories Of the years to learn OF
the worlds progress. but here we do
not have to read, we see 1t. In the
Transportation building we see the
primitive locomotives that pulled our
first railroad trains, and standing be-
side them We see the powerful, intri-
cate machines that perform the same
service to-day. That is an education
In the progress Of railroading. In the
Electrical building we find the first
primitive electrical appliances, and be-
side them the many intricate machines
that are to-day being driven by this
as yet unexplained power. That Is up
to-date education In electricity. In our
school Biographies we are taught,
among other things. of the products
Of the various countries. Here We see
them. The book learning we forget,
what We see we remember. Take. for
example, Japan. We are interested In
the progress Of the island empire, we
wonder at her greatness, We read vol
ume after volume to learn Of her
progress. Here II Is all spread out be-
fore our eyes. We see the same Japan
Commodore Perry saw when he broke

pire from the world. and we see beside
II the Japan that is to-day waging war

world, the same japan that Is an i'm

And what does It cost to see this
wonderful exposition. what 10 the
price 10 be pad for this liberal edu-
cation? 1t may be much or little. Just
as sightseeing trip to any city may
be much or little. There are fashion,
able, high-pricec hotels In st. Louis.
just as there are IN New York, in Chi
cago, in London or any other large
city, but be It said to the credit OF
these hotels. they are no higher priced
during the exposition than they were
before it. The masses Of the people
are looking, however, for something
less expensive, and 1t is easily found.
The people Of st. Louis are playing the
part of host In way that will make
friends of the visitors to the fair.
Thousands Of homes have been opened
for the accommodation of guests, and
the prices charged for the accommoda-
tions provided are most moderate. In
fact, to Judge from what one must pay
for board and room, one would scarce
ly imagine that the greatest exposition
the world has ever known Is in prog
reso in the city. Boarding house prices
compare favorably with those of other
cities. and 81 per day will secure a

OF course an exceptional expenditure
as when II is once done 1t is done
for all time. This costs about $3.50
per acre. After the breaking, plow-

The Third Division.
The third division Of this great

branches of mixed farming are dairy.
ing and the raising Of farm stock
1t must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way Is saying that
any one portion Of the country pos
sesses better soil than another, for
such Is not the case-all districts arc
equally fertile, hut the topography
and climatic influences differ, as well
as the conditions for production.
Ranching and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but 1t Is found moro
profitable to combine all the features
Of the industry. On account of the
land being more broken than in the
southern district. though the soil is
equally fertile. there are not the same
opportunities for extensive operations;
and while cattle raising is as profitable
here as elsewhere, different methods
have to be adopted for their protec-
ton, especially in the winter season.
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture in any coun-
try never reaches the minimum o:
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately In dairying,
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature Of the industry may be prose-
cuted. II is certainly then that II
the agricultural possibilities Of this
portion Of the prairie country be esti-
mated by It's adap.ability to dairy
farming even thu most skeptical must
acknowledge they are unsurpassed In
any country in the world. AS init
mated above. even dairying may be
successfully carried on In any corner
of the territories, but this zone has
everything to recommend Il a. the
ideal spot for this branch Of the bust |
ness.
