Mats on Potato Growing.

~ was talking with one OF
Greeley's most successful potato
growers" said gentleman to the
Lamas Sparks, "and lie mentioned
some things that might have an
important bearing on the intro
luction OF this profitable branch OF
farming in the Arkansas valley.
He said he believed the reason
potato growing was not successful
here was because the farmers had
used irrigated spuds for seed. He
claimed that seed from irrigated
runs entirely to vines, and therefore
the Weld county growers always
use eastern or divide potatoes for
seed. The farmers who want to
grow spnds ought to take his
advic. and use only non irrigated
sPuds.
"lf potato growing could be sue
cessfully introduced here il would
be great thing for the valley.
Thousands OF dollars year are
spent in this county for potatoes
alone, which are probably the
most profitable and easily handled
Of all farm products. Some wide
awake farmer should get good
eastern seed potatoes and give the
matter q thorough trial"

PICKLED sHEEPsKINs.
Hereafter They Must Pay a Duty of
20 Per Cent.

New York. Sept 3.-Notice from
the treasury department has been re-
ceived by the collector of customs that
hereafter picked sheeDskins shall be
classified as partially manufactured
articles, calling for a duty of 20 per
cent This ruling upsets a decision of
the board of United States general ap-
praisers rendered in March. 1899,
after one of the most exhaustive hear
ings in the history of the board.
Picked sheepskins have been COM
ing in for years, free of duty, as raw
skins, and in 1899 an attempt was
made to collect duty on them. Be-
tween thirty and forty witnesses, how
ever, testified that the picking was
not process of manufacture. but
was merely done to preserve the skins
during the voyage and that the pickle
had to be all washed out before they
were tanned.
Firms in the leather trade, which
are deeply interested in the matter de
clare they will make a test of the
ruling, but it probably will be year
or two before the case can be tried.

FORMAL ANSWER.
Filed by Northern Securities Company
in Hartman Suit

Trenton, y. J.. Sept 3.-The North
ern Securities company today nled IN
the United States circuit court its for
NAL answer in the suit instituted by
Edward H Hartman, Wfnsiow S.
Pierce, the Oregon Short Line COM
pany and the Equitable Trust COM
pany of New York TO restrain the
Northern Securities company from
carrying out its proposed plan OF dis
tribution of its assets This Is the
first formal answer filed by the North
ern Securities company either to the
original bill of complaint of Hartman
& Pierce, or to the first and second
amendments thereto The preliminary
injunction granted by Judge Bradford
restraining the Northern Securities
company from disposing of certain
shares of the Northern Pacific COM
pany was granted upon motion and
argument in open court and without
the filing of any formal answer to the
original bill.
to indicate that the case is TO go be-
fore Judge Bradford for a final hear
ing Notwithstanding the fact that an
appeal has been taken in the United
states circuit court of appeals from
Judge Bradford's opinion in granting
a preliminary injunction The answer
filed today is largely a formal pre-
sentation of points that We're made
before Judge Bradford in the argu-
ment on motion for a preliminary in
junction The answer admits that on
November Is, 1901. Hartman and
Pierce owned preferred stock to the
value of $41.oS5.000 and common
stock to the value of $37 .023.00o but
AYERS that on the same date Hartman
and Pierce transferred this stock to
the Northern Securities company. re-
ceiving therefor SS,915.625 in cash and
$50, 491.S71 in stock of the securities
company. 1t is further averred that
this transfer was absolute and uncon-
ditional and that there never has been
an understanding or agreement ex-
pressed or implied as to how long such
preferred or common stock should be
or managed by the Northern
Securities company 1t is also stated
that under a resolution of the board
Of directors of the Northern Pacific
company, the preferred stock of that
company was retired on Novembe Ia
1901, and that since January l, 1902
such preferred stock OF the Northern
Pacific company had ceased to exist.
II is denied that the decision of the
court of the United States was to the
effect that the stock of the Northern
Pacific company. acquired by the
Northern Securities company is held
by the latter as trustee. 1t is also
averred that all stock of the Northern
Securities company has been acquired
for a valuable consideration in the
aelfef that IT represented a portion of
the defendants assets and this is set
up as one of the reasons for the pro-
posed plan of distribution.

PAINTING FOR PAWN SHOPS
London Artist Makes Living by Dis
posing of His Works to
Money Lenders.

Summoned the other day for debt at
the Westminster county court, an artist
informed the astonished judge that he
did his beat to make a living by painting
pictures and pawning them. The pawn
shop was, he explained, says a London
report. the best available market for his
artistic wares.
Several pawnbrokers who were con-
suited declared that there were hun
dreds of artists in London who get liy
ing by similar means.
Il don't know why. said one of these
pawnbrokers, but young artists seem
to be. as a class. the most impecunious
Of all the impecunious men with whom
I have dealings
They get pushed for money, there are
no purchasers for their pictures, and
so they come to me. And having once
started pawning what they paint, they
go on doing so.
I'VE nearly always take picture un-
less il is absolutely hopeless. because
we have the means Of tapping a market
which the artist has not.
"Of course. we have to wait till the
ticket has expired; then we collect all
the pictures We have and sell them

wondered where that endless supply Of
pictures in the cheap auction rooms in
the Strand comes from? Well. now you
