The First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced; but, apart from from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups ID
Europe date back only as far as l645
in Venice, 1860 in Paris, 1862 in Lon
don and. 1894 in Leipsic. From the
first, however, the conventional orien-
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle.
was little used, and in Germany not at

tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Speci-
mems of porcelain were undoubtedly
introduced into Europe In the middle
ages, yet not till the sixteenth century
were cups imported from China In any
great quantities, and even then 1t was
as articles of vertu. Most Of those
found their way back into China again,
as collecting porcelain is lasting fad
there, and high prices are paid for
good specimens. The collection Of
Chinese porcelain, If only the genuine
specimens are desired, requires i'm
mense study and knowledge, as the
Chinese are skillful imitators and put
numerous falsiications on the market

"A Washing ton dispatch says: Pres
ident Roosevelt acted with charac-
teristic promptness when, Thursday
afternoon, he announced that he
could not stand for the plan to name
the neWly-ordered 20,0O0-ton battle
ship, the New York, but must insist
that it be named the North Dakota.
The argument at the navy depart
ment during the. summer, which re-
suited in the name New York being
selected for this big fighting machine
had for it's base the fact that New
York is the leading state in the un-
ion and that, therefore, the biggest
fbattleship ought to be named after
it. fs5r
The presidents argument was to
the effect that the size of the state
ought to cut no figure in these mat
tiers. 1t is the policy of the depart.
ment to name the battleships after
the states, and Utah and North Da-
kota are the only ones not thus far
honored in that way. There were
three Of these states, until 1t was de-
cided during the summer to name
one of the 10000 ships the Delaware.
The president held that it was I'M
fair to North Dakota and Utah to
rename the armored cruiser in order
to pave the way to giving the name of
the empire state to one of these big
fighting machines. He agreed that
the department was right in naming
the other ship the Delaware. The
presidents decision rather upset the
navy officers, who had planned that
the recommendation Of the depart
ment was to stand as made. ..ss5s
Ever since the new North Dakota
was designed, the navy department
has endeavored to keep secret the de-
tails of her construction. All the ser
vice papers, however, both here and
abroad, have had descriptions of her,
which are said to be accurate. Ac-
cording to them the North Dakota is
to be of steel, with five turrets. She
will be $40 feet long, on the load wat
er line, and 51s feet 9 inches over an,
with a beam of S3 feet inches and a
draught Of 81 feet Her displacement
will be 10000 tons and her speed q
knots. The maximum coal capacity
will be $500 tons and she will be
equipped with turbine engines, eth
er of the Parsons or Curtis system

THE NORTH DAKOTA.

1t appears that much is won by
waiting, and the state of North Da-
kota which has until now had no
battleship named after her will have
the honor of being godmother or
godfather, as the nautical case may
be, to the biggest battleship of the
navy, war vessel of the first class,

EARLY CLOSING
THE CLERKS UNION OF THE
CITY ENDEAvoRING TO Sc
CURE GENERAL CLOSING OF
THE STORES AT $50 p. M.
AND MEETING WITH Suc-
CESS. &% r. ysa

The clerks of the city have inaug-
urated movement for the closing
of the stores at $50 p. M, instead
of Z O'Clock, except Saturday night,
and until further notice and already
have most of the business houses
signed up to the proposition and ex-
pect when they have got around to
all of the proprietors the movement
will be generally accepted.
Those who have signed up to the
early closing movement so far are
the following:
r. l.. Best & Co, Breen & Clooten,
A. w. Lucas Co., Webb Bros, The
Fair, Hoover & Eppinger, Barbie
Bros & Co., Cayou & Co., John Ye-
gen, Glitschka Bros, VIM. O'Hara,
Geo. Gussner, G.. W. Wolbert Hard
ware Co., French & WEIGH.
The early closing movement has been
popular not only in Bismarck, but
all over the country. The old clos
ing hour, Z o'clock, has been found
to be very inconvenient as some of
the managers or clerks have to go
home early for supper and come
back down town, when by closing half
an hour earlier all hands can get
away at reasonable hour and have
no further cares for the day. The
early closing has been no inconven-
fence to customers, as they have come
to accommodate themselves to the
changed conditions and do their buy
ing before supper and not only the
clerks, but the proprietors, appre-
ciate having the evenings to them.

CAN'T GET new
/. Land DISTRICT
OF INTERIOR IN.
FORMS SENATOR HANsHBRouG
i THAT 1T WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE.
TO ESTABLISH ANOTHER LAND
DISTRICT AT HETTlNGER.

Fargo Forum: Several weeks ago
States Attorney Norton of Adams
county took up the matter of secur-
ing the establishment of another II.
S. Land District in North Dakota, to
comprise portions of North Dakota,
Montana and South Dakota. Mr..
Norton stated that the Dickinson
land office was so rushed with work
that another office was necessary.
In this effort to get another dis
trict created Mr.. Norton enlisted the
services of United States Senator
Hansbrough, who took the matter up
with the department Of the interior
at Washington. Today Senator Hans
3brough was notified that the interior
department could not under any cir
.cumstanees create new district as
proposed. The principal reason was
that there is a law which prevents
the establishment OF a land district
comprising territory in more than
one state.
z Senator Hansbrough, however, will
not allow the matter to rest, but will
commence an active campaign for the
establishment Of another district in
this state, when congress convenes
next winter.

RIVER TRANSPORTATION.

The second annual meeting of the
Deep Waterways Association at
Memphis, October and 5, should
develop some interesting information
relative to the possibilities of water
ways as carriers of freight The in
vitations to the meeting have includ-
ed prominent individuals who are
versed in the matters to be discus
sed and as President Roosevelt will
delive,'' a notable address and the
governors of nearly all of the states
in the belt where water transporta-
tion is possible will be present and
make addresses, we should get to
Symposium, of opinions from which
valuable information may be drawn.
Govern Burke Of this state will
be present at the meeting and is down
for an address upon ''The CONNER
eial Advantage to the Northwest of
River Improvement" te be delivered
on the second day of the meeting.
! Governor Crawford of South Dakota
is also scheduled for an address, and
the governors of the southern states
bordering the Missis- 'rpi. as we'll as
OF the northwestern and central
states bordering the Missouri and
Mississippi will deliver speeches.
River transportation has dwindled
much in the past quarter of a CEN
fury. Zt $tt a., IN.
The competition of the railroads
has been so keen, the certainty and
prompt dispatch of freight by steam
roads has advanced so much, that
river transportation has gradually
disappeared. In the seventies there
were dozens of comparatively fast
freight steamers plying the upper
Missouri for the reason that steam
transportation by rail did not ex-
5ist and river transportation was the
only means of communication be-
tween far distant points, the natural
highways being utilized to the great
est extent possible. 49,"
With the advent of railroads the
steamboats, gradually disappeared
from the Missouri river, until now
there are possibly scant score, do
ing local business where railroads do
not yet reach. Whether it is posi-
Bile to restore the traffic in the north
west to anything like its old time
proportions is a question. Natural
conditions of competition and trans
portation advantage govern these
matters more than artificial plans for
reFiving an abandoned traffic system
1t may be and no doubt is entirely
true, however, than the possibility of
going back to the water for freight
transportation if imperishable arti-
Giles where rapidity of transit is not
a prime factor, will have the effect OF
regulating steam road rates and pre-
venting their advance. This being
4 the case, the abandonment altogether
able, and to preserve the means oil
of water transportation is not desir.
+ river transportation is both com
mendable asd desirable. FL Il sz

The October number of the Pa
cific Monthly is, as it claims to
be, a Homeseeker's and Irriga-
ton number, par excellence. The
initial article, "Washington's
Vale of Plenty" by w. ]. Blanch-
ard, is a brief description Of the
Yakima Valley, or "The Dream
of a Tenderfoot that came True"
and treats of what has often been
pronounced one of the most pro-
life and beautiful sections in the
United States. 1t was from this
section that a score or more of pros
porous farmers and fruit raisers
came and made the first selections
of land on the Twin Falls Tract in
Idaho. These men foresay that the
latter irrigation enterprise presented
similar advantages in soil and
climate to that at their homes, and
were not slow in getting there.
