''The Northern Pacific R. R. depot
at this place is one Of the finest. I
don't know Of one in any city 4
fifty or sixty thousand people else
where that will compare with it.
There are some pecularities about
this north country that are not known
in some places. It seems that the
movements OF the earth around the
great luminary OF the day slow up a
little In the evening and hurries up
little in the morning. The sun set
north of n. W. after nine o'clock. One
could read after ten o'clock without
the aid OF artificial light. Daylight
commences to come at three o'clock
and the sun rises north Of n. e. What
an ideal place it would have been for
Joshua to have fought the battle of
the Gideons! He would have had
plenty Of time to have annihilated the
hosts of the enemy.
This, the capital city, is nicely sit
uated on the ea.tern bank OF the Mis-
souri, river. Near by is the new Fort
Abe Lincoln. The old one was west
Of the river and was the home of Gen.
Custer, where his wife and the wives
of many of his soldiers were left when
they went on the Inflated raid that
ended in the complete humiliation Of
| nearly all of the Seventh U. s. Caval-
ry. The capital is a fine building and
they are now preparing to put another
wing to 1t for which the last legisla-
| ture appropriated one million dollars.
I think that there is a great future

years from now instead Of five thous-

saw more dogs in one day than you
would see at home in month. The
citizens told me they had to keep
them to keep the gophers, which they
call fibckertails, down. Mr.. Roosevelt
would have no criticism coming if he
was here. They seem to be follow
ing his advice--the sidewalks and
lawns are made gay by vast num-
beers Of happy gleeful children. The
people here are loyal to their city
and all Of its institutions. There is
none OF that narrow bigotry that we
sometimes see in our country where
little-souled men will try to defeat and
injure any undertaking that they
don't control or have. a hand in con-
trolling. 1t is not so here. They all
work for the interest of the communi-
ty: In, church matters they work in
harmony. The Catholics, Presby-
terians, Methodists, Baptists, Epis-
copalians and other churches all
stand up for each other and work in
harmony for the elevation of the hui
man race. My wife and found our
SON and family pleasantly situated,
and met many Bismarck people that
called on them, and it is my judg-
ment that few cast their lots with a
more generous, courteous, intelligent
and kind people than has o. NJ. Cock

with those charged by different rail
way corporations in Canada. On the
other hand, we have an ascending
scale of operating charges. Chief
among these is the wages. The very
moment you increase by even a farth-
ing the wages of any OF the employees
you have what is practically not a
comfortable element; that is to say,
1t becomes a fixed charge. It is easy
to increase, but you can never reduce
A government railway never could.

There can be no discrimination; there
must of necessity be uniformity. The
ordinary company can do 1t easily"
The minister declared that there is
no subject upon which the people are
more sensitive than that Of Increasing
freight rates on a government railway
From one end Of the railway to the
other, from the Sydneys to st. John
and from Halifax to Montreal, the very
moment the suggestion of an increase
is made. that moment you meet with
opposition. That is necessarily the
outcome Of government operation of
railways"
The opposition showed from the re-.
port that the amount expended on
,
capital account during the current
year is S6,l95,250, which, with the
defcit, amounts to sS,ls5. 900. The re-
ceipts were about $1,000, 0O0--t earn

RAILWAY DEFICIT.

The IntereofoniaI Railway Of Canada
Runs Behind Over 100000 Last
Year.
Ottawa, Canada, July rs, 1905.-Two
millions of dollars is the deficit in the
finances of the Intercolonial Railway
for the past year. This unwelcome
fact, announced by Mr.. Emmerson,
Dominion minister of railways and
canals, in the course of an animated
debate in the house Of commons, has
created a great sensation to govern
ment operation Of railways in Canada
The theory Of the ownership by gov
eminent or municipality Of any public
service has suffered a severe set
| back.
A bitter attack was made upon the
minister, who, single-handed, attempt
ed to defend the government policy
against almost every member of the
house. In doing SO he made admis.
sions which will interest Americans,
in view Of the fact that some people
| in this country are ardently adyocat-
ing government ownership OF public
utilities.
In the first place, Mr.. Emmerson
completely refuted the theory that
government operation means higher
pay for employees, explaining that the
deficit was partly the result Of gem
eral increase in wages, forced on the
government by the market price OF
labor, sometimes half again as high a.
the government scale. Then he went
ton 70 show that the lack OF elasticity
~ freight rates was a great obstacle
TO government operation. In this con
lnectipn he said:
n think may safely say that we
have now passed the stage when II il
possible to make ends meet, The
rates are exceedingly low as compared

Experts have been busy in the
wheat fields looking for traces Of
black rust. which has been reported
and two Of them have reported that
they find no rust. Crops through the
central and eastern part Of the state
are reported in splendid condition and
an average OF 20 bushels to the acre is
estimated for a number Of counties.
While this estimate is probably a lit.
tie high, many fields will exceed this
yield and the total yield promises to
be larger than for many years.

AND NORTH. DAKOTA
Colonel ". NJ Ceekrum Of Indiana, Writes His Home
Paper Of The States Resources and
Her Good People

Col. w. M. Cockrum, father OF
Special Agent o. M. Cockrum of the
u. S. land office, writes the following
impressions of his visit to North Da-
kota and Bismarck to the Oakland
City, Ind, Semi-Weekly Journal, Of
which another son is proprietor. The
kindly sentiments expressed by the
colonel toward our people are cor
daily returned by those so fortunate
as to have met him and his estimable
wife during their stay in the Capital
City. He says:
'NThis large state of seventy thous-
and square miles has a population of
half million people and annually pro-
duces seventy-five million bushels of
wheat, yielding in different sections,
owing to the preparations of the seed
bed, from twenty to fifty bushels per
acre. They raise large quantities of
rye, barley, oats and spelt, which is
a Russian grain. The yield of fax
seed is twenty-five to thirty bushels
per acre Alfalfa and timothy grow
well and it is the home of the potato,
which grows to an immense size.
There is but little timber except in the
river bottoms yet wood is only two
dollars and fifty cents a cord. The
western half OF the state is undertake
with an inexhaustible deposit Of lig.

well as pine wood, leaves white ash
and does not make a particle of SCOT
It Is not unusual to find veins OF this
coal ten to fifteen feet thick. One
that underlays large belt of country
near the city of Dickinson is twenty
eight feet thick. The state is well
supplied with water as there are
rivers and small lakes all over it
The Missouri river is the chief one
It runs across the state and is navig
able the entire distance. Many trfbu
taries run into 1t on both sides. The
Red river of the North forms the east
ern boundary OF the state and has
eight tributaries from the west. In
its valley the No. / wheat is raised
that has no parallel on earth. The
farmers are wasteful to degree that
is inexcusable. They purchase fine
machinery and it is sheddel by the
sky at the point they got through with
it for the season. This is true Of fine
binders, moving machines and Other
expensive machinery. ,..
"The greatest need see in this fine
country that has a soil unsurpassed
by any I have ever seen, is men who
understand good common sense farm
ing, and do it. If the land suitable
for wheat in this state was properly
cultivated the yield would reach wa!
into hundreds of millions of bushel.

"Stone for walling cellars and foun
tdations of buildings is found nearl!
everywhere scattered over thu
prairies, no doubt left there during
the, glacial period some millions o
years ago. This stone splits ant
works well and is everlasting, TIT
land that has these boulders is con
sidered the best land.

TO hit the more northern transfer
route through the city. The change
does not affect the yards or depot
grounds In the eastern portion OF the
city In the least particular. The new
lines will be forwarded TO the secre-
tRry of the interior at an early date
so that as soon as the weather per-
mits construction work can begin
across the government lands.
Mr.. Vinson. who yesterday left the
city for the Emma mine, stated that
he expected that his engineers who
have a full force of men with them
will be able 10 complete these surveys
within few days and that all the pa
pers would be filed in Washington at
once. Construction work will begin
just as soon as possible with the
weather conditions.
