A BALLOON RAILROAD.

There has recently been invented
and put into operation in the noun
tains near Salzburg, Germany, a bal
loon railroad. 1t consists of station
airy balloon, which is fastened to a
slide running along single steel rail.
The rail is fastened to the side sof
steep mountain, which ordinary rail-
roads could not climb, except through
deed cuts and tunnels. The balloon
floats about IS feet over the ground,
and heavy steel cable connects it
with the rail. The conductor can, at
will, make the balloon slide up and
down the side of the mountain. For
going up the motive power is furnished
by hydrogen gas. while the descent
is caused by pressure of water, which
Is poured into large tank at the up
per end of the road, and which serves
as ballast. Suspended from the bal
loon is circular car with accommo-
dations for ten passengers. The cable
goes from the bottom of the balloon
through the center of the car to a
regular of speed. which is controlled
by the conductor.

KILLED SHEEP
Dogs Near Dickinson Attack
Flocks- Several Sheep
Slain.

Special to The Evening Times.
Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 29.-Last
Saturday five or six dogs from the city
entered the Eland stock yards four
miles west and as result 40 fat
wethers were killed, two badly Grip
pied and many bitten and bruised. A
band of $50 wethers had been sold to
Jeffries & Higgins by J. C. F. Parker
aud d. 8. Alley and delivery made at
the Harry Annear ranch on Tuesday.
The sheep were driven in and penned
at Eland on Friday evening, grazed
during the following day and returned
for the night. with the disastrous re-
suit as stated. The dead sheep were
in two piles, in two different corners
of the pen, where the fatal pile-up
had occurred. The sheep were loaded
for market on Sunday as had been
planned, but the number was fifty
short, and the damage inflicted by the
dogs is probably not less than $500.
Under the state law owners of dogs
are liable for all damage of this kind,
but in this particular instance 1t might
be difficult to prove the dogs. 1t is
supposed that some of the number are
the same ones that killed casset sheen
for VIM. Reiche and others in the east
part Of the city shot time ago and
also goat belonging at the Nolan
home. Section 1855 of the political
code reads as follows: THE owner
Of any dog shall be liable in a civil
action for all damages that may ac-
crue to any person by reason of such
dogs killing, wounding or chasing anv
sheep or other domestic animal be-
longing to such person"

HOW land VALUES IN
THIS STATE INCREASED

die western and far western states
is as follows: Ohio, $57.43; Indiana,
t54,96; Illinois, 1851; Michigan,
1861; Wisconsin, $3.50; Minnesota,
1888; Iowa, $64.56; Missouri, $34.70;
North Dakota, SLAP; South Dakota,
s22.56; Nebraska, $s1.7s; Kansas,
$23.99; Washington, $24.S9; Oregon,
$16.45; California, $3.50; Idaho,
1880.
In discussing the causes of the
marked advance in the price of prop
erty of this kind the various CORE
spondents do not agree that it is all
due to the condition of the country,
although that is given full credit for
the most of it. One fact, however,
stands out in all that is said upon the
subject and that is that the cheap gov
eminent lands on which farming can
be carried on without irrigation are
about all gone. This has a tendency
to bring up the value Of lands else
where, since supply and demand must
govern In this as in all other things.
The exhaustion of these cheap lands,
Secretary Wilson says, has been
reached SO suddenly as to give sort
of shock to the whole economic struc-
ture of agriculture
The total value of farm lands in
Minnesota is given at 1925, $50, SOL; in
North Dakota. 1886, ,565; in South
Dakota, $3.50, 239.755.

Washington, Aug. 29.-James Will
son, secretary of agriculture, has Just
received $4,000 letters from as many
prominent and substantial citizens,
giving. at his request, their estimates
of the increase in value of farm lands
In their respective neighbOrhoods since
1900.
BY this method the secretary has
reached into practically every commu-
nifty in the United States, and as he
asked every correspondent to base his
estimate in each instance on medium
lands. leaving out the very poor and
the extremely valuable, the result is
believed to be as accurate as could be
achieved. Almost all other estimates
on farm lands in the past have been
too low, because they have been based
upon the tax assessment valuation,
which is VIGOROUSLY an undervalua-
ton In every community.
An average valuation for each state
was struck and also one for the coun-
try at large. and the gain in each state
mas been handsome one. In 1900 the
total value of all the farm lands in
the United States, including improve
ments, was $1S,279, 500, SS7, and in 1905
1t was $24,410,276,963, figures which
are eloquent of the effect the general
prosperity of the country has upon the
farm. Another significant feature
brought out is that the greatest in
crease, proportionately came to the
central states. The north central
states gained in round figures, $780,
100000, while the south central gained
$1.200,000,000. The Atlantic and far
western states also gained handsomely
but only by millions and not by bill
lions.
Among the individual states per-
haps the most striking gains in value
were made by Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio and Nebras-
ka, each of which gained an average of
not less than SO an acre. Illinois an
pears to be the banner state of all in
this respect, her average gain being
$21 an acre. Iowa's gain was SIS an
acre, Ohio's $40, CALIFORNIA; Sc. Indi-
ana's $13, Missouri's $40, Washington's
SO, Nebraska's $11, Wisconsin's 81.
while such good states as Minnesota
went ahead only 81 and Kansas only
IS. North Dakota gained S. and
South Dakota 50.
striking gain was recorded by Louis
lana, the development of the rice fields
there helping that state greatly.
Louisiana's gain was an average of SIS
an acre. The only other southern
state to approach this was Kentucky,
with gain of 81. Most of the others
ran from So to IS.
In the Atlantic coast southern states,
the gains averaged slightly larger,
Florida showing an average of 50 an
acre. which was the biggest gain of
any Atlantic coast state. north or
south.
Among the far western states
Washington makes the best showing.

service will be extended in Baltimore
and gradually established elsewhere.

WILL SMOKE RAILROADS OUT.
Railway Commission TO Fix Coal Rates
Between Hastings and Duluth,
MINI,

MINI.
st. Paul. Aug. 29.-The Minnesota
Shippers association and the Hastings
Mating company filed motion with
the state railway and warehouse
commission today demanding that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
furnish copy of the secret agreement
between that railroad and the North
ern Pacific railroad as to the coal
rates between Hastings, Mimi, and Du-
luth. The railroads had refused to al
low the two companies to inspect
the agreement.
The railway commission asked At
torney General Young for advice as
to whether or not mandamus proceed
fngs should be begun against the
railroads. The attorney general ad-
vised the commission to establish a
rate on coal between the two points
as near as the commission could guess
as to what the rate in the agreement
was. as by doing SO 1t would bring
the railroads into the open with less
delay than mandamus proceedings
would entail. The commission will
follow the attorney generals advice.

Pain from a Burn Promptly Relieved

A little child of Michael Strauss,
of Vernon, Conn, was recently in
great pain from a burn on the
hand, and as cold applications only
increased the inflammation, Mr..
Strauss came 10 Mr.. James N.
Nichols, a local merchant, for some
thing to stop the pain. Mr.. Nichols
says: 81 advised him to use Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, and the first
application drew out the inflamma-
ton and gave immediate relief. |

Wool Market.

Quiet conditions prevail at most
of the leading wool markets, though
trading at Boston showed some
improvement last week. AS a rule,
holders are not anxious to force
business, even when the difference
in price is trilling. The attitude
of western ranch owners, some of
whom are still holding back part of
the clip, has not changed. There
is less interest in foreign wool,
and none is expected until the
next London auction sale, which
will open September IS. In Boston
the demand for wool is improving.
Rather more buyers are on the mar
ket and sales have expanded.
Fleece woods have sold with es-
pecial freedom and are in strong

Receipts of sheep and lambs for
this week will be about 5000 less
than last week, Monday being Labor
Day and holiday, receipts were
only IA, 472, but the best grades Of
both sheep and lambs sold shade
stronger than the close of last week.
Tuesday receipts were 1899,
which was considerably less than
expected, and while the market was
rather slow 10 open, trading grad
ually improved, and the best grades
closed with a strong tone, though
medium lambs of light weight
were a shade lower. Wednesday
there was no change to the trade,
though the buyers seemed to want
all the receipts at the prevailing
prices. Thursday, with receipts
80, 1888, the demand was again
strong, both for killers and feed
ers, and today, with receipts esti-
mated at 5000, trade is again
active, with prices strong to 10
cents higher Idaho lambs have
again touched the Sc mark this
week, but they were closer sorted,
one bunch selling Wednesday at
