MINING NEWS.

According to the oIucial report made
public recently the gold production OF
mines in the Black hills, s. D., for the
past year was $6,9S6, 800, decrease of
$3.50, 900.
Checks have been sent to stockhold-
ers of the Kendall Mining company OF
Kendall, Mont, for the regular month
ly dividend of 8 cents share. The
dividend totaled $4,000 on the issue
of 100000 shares, which have par
value Of S. share.

report.
Now that coke is beginning to be
received by the smelters again from
the Crows Nest lass company, the
Rossland, B. c., mines will within q
few days increase their shipments.

closed down for week, owing prin'
cipally to a lack Of cars, caused by O

Harvestins Potatoes.

More or less Judgment Is required In
doing any kind Of work, and the dig
ging Of potatoes Is no exception to the
rule. In the first place, SO many should
not be dug out at one time that they
cannot be handled readily. A good way
is to dig during the fore part Of each
half day and then gather the tubers
before quitting. AS soon as dry they
should always be picked up. and II the
weather Is reasonably dry the length Of
time necessary for drying depends al
NEST entirely upon the nature Of the
soil. II sandy, an hour may be long
enough. but IL moist clay 1t may take
several hours. Potatoes, once dug
should certainly not be left out on the
ground over night. II they are, the
frost has every chance to get at them
and only little freezing is required to
spoil a good many bushels for mar
ket. 1t is poor practice. too. to pick
up potatoes without any regard to grad
Ing. Two classes, anyway. should be
made Of them; all those Of good mar
ketable size should be gathered first
and the understood ones left till later.
1t also pays to have crates or bushes
measures In which to pick them up.
Easy to distribute about the field. these,
after being flled. cen readily be placed
ON a wagon and drawn of. Further
more, they prevent the tubers from be-
ing jammed and married. Thirty or

selecting seed Corn.

The proper time in which to select
seeds is late In the fall or winter. The
reason for requiring this portion of th
year for so doing Is because there Is
then no hurry, and the work can be
done better. The common, practice Of
laying the seed corn aside to remain
until spring has done great damage to
the corn crop, as very often the ex-
cess Of imperfect grains is such as to
cause failure of termination over the
whole field. Every ear of corn should
be examined and the inferior grain
shelled of. Vegetable seeds also re-
quire examination, for insects, damp
ness and other causes interfere with
their safe-keeping. OF course, every
farmer is supposed to be careful with
his seeds, but very few farmers know
the condition Of their. seeds until the
time comes when they are required for
planting, and then the farmers are
toe much hurried to do anything with
them.

An Office Boys Diplomacy.

Bob and Joe are acquaintance in
"a LaSalle street insurance office, says
the Chicago Record-Herald. They had
been on borrowing terms with each
other for more than year till an
unlucky day last summer when they
quarreled. After that day neither
would speak to the other.
Just what was the cause of the
quarrel their companions in the office
did not concern themselves about.
For many weeks the two worked at
their books side by side and occas-
ionally shot murderous glances at
each other
At first amusing to the other men
in the office, the situation became in
tolerable, for all the employees were
on friendly terms with the other, and
seemed to hang over their part of the
counting-room like a cloud.
Then up rose peace maker in the
person of Tom, the Office boy. This
young person, achlated more by a
spirit of mischief than by the more
worthy motive Of bringing about a
cessation of hostilities, ratified off on
a typewriter two identical notes"

NOT A COMPARISON.

Bismarck Tribune: Because the
Tribune stated in an editorial para
graph recently that the people of the
country would be for President Roose-
veelt as between Roosevelt and Odell
in New York state. the Grand Forks
Herald, with its recently acquired and
unrelenting hostility to leaders of any
calibre or kind, wants to know why
the Tribune does not take up the cud-
gel against bossism in this state. The
Tribune knows nothing of such "boss-
ISM in this state as seems to disturb
the dreams of the Herald and the
peace of Editor Winship. There is no
comparison between conditions in this
state and those in New York, Phila-
delphia, and other machines" which
the Herald takes pleasure in compar-
ing to the republican organization in
North Dakota. The republican lead
ers in North Dakota have always
worked in harmony with President
Roosevelt. The appointments to posi-
tons in that state have been credita-
BILE. The rank and file of the repub-
lican party in this state has been sat
isfied with the administration of state
affairs as is shown by the election re-
turns. in which nearly every precinct
has shown Il republican majority and
in nearly all cases an increased ma
pority. There have been no scandals
in this state and no maladministration
of affairs. The state has been we'll
governed and the republican organiza-
ton. both at home and as it works in
harmony with the national organiza-
ton. has been efficiently and harmoni-
omsly operated. The only complaints
that have been made are artificial and
come from disappointed office seek
ers and politicians. whose ambitions
to lead have been shattered by the
superior ability of other men, and not
being able to lead, they are lending
their efforts to destroy the organiza-
ton that has been built up.

Heretofore the general government
has not engaged in the work of drain
age. Perhaps it is not SO much a
question Of constitutional authority to
do SO as II is question. of expense
when the work is once begun. for the
area that is in need of drainage is al
most boundless. There is scarcely
state in the Union where drainage is
unnecessary This is especially true
of a number of the southern states
along the lower Mississippi, and once
congress enters upon a policy of fed
eral drainage, there would be no end
to the cost. 1t has been suggested that
in furtherance of such a policy the
government might lend it's credit in
some way by guaranteeing the bonds
of the states or counties that are I'M
able to bear the burden themselves.
No doubt it would be a perfectly safe
investment, fully justified by the bene-
hts that would surely accrue to the
flooded sections and to the country
generally. 1t would be difficult
task. however, to bring congress to
view the question in this light, and, as
in the case of the campaign in behalf
of irrigation, dozen or fifteen years
of effort and agitation would be re-
quired. In the meantime the annual
loss to land owners, as they awaited
the establishment of such "a paternalis-
tic system, would be very great.

The money market took sensation
al turn a few days ago and interest
rates reached the enormous height of
1875 per cent per annum. True, the
loans were short time ones. but that
does not alter the condition. The Sc
rious feature was that the money
sought was practically all for specu-
lative purposes. Men were compell-
ed to borrow in order to save them
selves from financial ruin. The in
terest rates would indicate that the
recent speculative craze has passed
far beyond the normal even in that
money centre where the making and
losing Of fortunes are the work OF
brief hours. So long as Wall street

A DIFFICULT TASK.

Tomorrow will witness a gathering
which in Importance is more than IL
passing event. When the delegates to
the Red river valley convention as
semble they will confront a task that
is as important as it is difficult. There
is no part of the earth richer in agri-
cultural possibilities that the Red
river valley. The inexhaustible fer
tility of the soil, the ease with which
1t can be cultivated, the easy access to
market all combine to make it the
ideal agricultural centre of the great
northwest. But it has one drawback.
To remedy. or better still to remove.
that drawback is the task which
confronts the drainage convention to-
morrow. That the thing can be done
is an axiom that need not be con-
sidered. What must be provided for
is the manner in which the work can
be done, and the centralizing of the
several agencies that heretofore have
been indifferently engaged along sew
eral lines, all seeking the same ends,
but unfortunately working without
unity of purpose. If the wisdom of
the convention can centralize these
agencies-and The Evening Times be-
lieves it cana large portion of it's
task will be completed. However, the
convention will not be satisfied with
its work half done, and the entire
needs of the valley in matters pertain
ing to drainage will be considered,
and the convention will lie in large
measure solution of the question of
the remedy necessary to remove the
only drawback to the cultivation of
every foot of this the richest land in
all Gods goodly heritage.

Just now there is considerable
clamOr. exclusively in the newspapers,
In favor of abolishing the franking
privilege to members of congress and
other officials. all of whom have a
great volume of correspondence grow
ing out of the duties they are called
upon to perform as public servants
The clamor is based upon the idea
that II congressman paid hostage up
on their official correspondence as
other citizens pay it upon their pri-
vate mail matter the postal deficit
would not be so great, which is un-
doubtedly true. and it is now up to
the distinguished gentlemen who re-
cetve the enormous salary of $4,000
year to explain why it is that they
should not pay postage on their Off
cial mail. While waiting to hear
from our national lawmakers on the
subject it might be we'll for the pub
lie to do some figuring on it's own ac-
count. Here is what the postmaster
general had to say about the postal
deficit at pages 70 and so of his re-
port:
