OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
NORTH DAKOTA'S RAINFALL.

The average rainfall in North Dakota
seems to be increasing since 1899 and
the old pioneers are about ready to be-
lieve that the reason is the slower evap-
Grafton of the moisture now in the soil
and the reception of all the rainfall in
the soil, due to the thick mat of grass
that now covers the entire face of the
country, and to a more extended cultiva-
ton OF the soil itself. There is no good
reason why the entire area of North
Dakota, should not be amply sufficient
for as certain an annual crop as any
northwestern state including Minnesota,
Wisconsin. northern Iowa and South
Dakota. For hundreds if not thousands
of years the aboriginal inhabitants of
u great plains east of the foot hills in
Montana have burned off the prairie
grass for a Z quicker growth of grass in
the spring. Within the last five or six
years this has been etfectually prevent
ed and the result is clearly in evidence.
The rainfall soaks into the soil instead
of running off the parched dry surface
into sloughs and and ponds. About all
the snow is held in the grass and melts
slowly into the soil in the spring. The
duck and goose ponds are disappearing
and hay meadows have taken their
places. The rainfall which now thorolv
saturates the ground, evaporates slowly
and in midsummer nourishes crops.
Before grass covered the country in the
thick mat it now does, and before the
soil was as extensively cultivated. this
condition did not exist as regards the
moisture in the soil. and the above seems
to be the great reasons why these con.
ditions of our ''treeless, barren prairie
formerly described by Gen. Hazen as q
semi-arid desert has been transformed
into a fertile, prosperous farm country
whose lands will make the fortunes Of
their owners their children and their
children's children. AS showing the in
creased rainfall, figures for the II years
prior to 1899 show ar average of 2O.62
inches. The last six years show the
average has increased to nearly "a inch
es which is explained as above by the
new land under cultivation and the
growing of grass on the prairies.
The probabilities are that North Da-
kota, in the central and western por-
tons, will have in the heal future, bar
ing occasional %droughts that effect the
whole country, abundance of rainfall and
moisture in the ground for crops that
will make the region the greatest grain
and stock country in the United States.

Ruling Passion strong In Death.
The ruling passion is often very
strong in death, says Harper's Week
ly. A senator from Tennessee discover
ed this some time ago. Among his
| constituents was q certain man who
came to him regularly twice a year
for the purpose OF obtaining a pass
to Baltimore. The man and his fam
lily had served the senator when he
was first making his way up the lad
der of politics, and as a result of this
he always Obliged him. and had, more
over, a soft place In his heart for the
man. He obtained for him a position
in one of the departments at Wash
ington; but this did not seem to be
enough, for regularly at the end OF
each six months he applied for his
ticket to Baltimore. One day he sick
ened and was reported to be dying.
The senator, very much grieved, i'm.
mediately called upon him.
Joe" he said, leaning over and
speaking very softly, "is there any
thing I can do for you?
The sick man looked up with a
flash Of recognition, and instantly re-
piled In a whisper.
"Yes. Senator; please get me a
pass to Baltimore"
