of the greatest advantages. of which
the state can boast, that, during all

VENICE IS WIRELESS CITY.
Editor Winship Of Grand Forks Tells
Some of the Peculiarties of
Venice.

Editor George b. WlnSnlp OF the
Grand Forks Herald, who is touring
Europe, writes:
There are about 100000 people in
Venice. There are thousands of little
stores and many large ones scattered
through the city, and all the build
ings are of stone. All this is standing
upon wooden piles driven twenty-five
feet into the ground. The great
wonder is that the whole thing has
not given away long ago: 1t is claim
ed, and it must be so, that the piles
after remaining in the ground, petrify
and form a perfectly solid founda-
ton. Every foot of solid surface Is
supported by these piles from the
great cathedral of st. Marks down
to the narrowest footpata in the city.
Venice is a horseless city. It is also
wheelless. It does not even contain
a bicycle. Every bit of transporta-
ton is done by boats. Instead of
streets there are canals, large one
about $50 feet wide, with hundreds
of smaller tributaries. The grand
canal winds through the city, forming
letter s. It Is the scene of much
traffic by day and of much beauty by
night. During the day small steam
ers ply up and down it, performing
the functions of street railway.
Electric launches are known as auto
mobiles. They are all equipped with
regulation signal horns and are prac-
tically the only things in Venice that
are not thoroughly unique. Gondon
las take the place of cabs. They are
all painted black in mourning for
the death of the Venetian republic In
l1797. This gives them a rather SOM
bre appearance. Every pound Of
freight is moved by boats. The can
ais are lined with little barges laden
vita fruit and vegetables, and here
and there boat is seen tied to the
side of a building where several men
are loading or unloading bricks, sand
and lumber, stone and what not. In
short, boats take the place OF drays.
On the other hand, whenever a car
rage is used in other cities, gon-
dola is employed in Venice. They
carry the guests from the station to
the hotel, and they are used when
ever one wants to go out anywhere IN
the city. The gondoliers are experts
and handle their boats with great
ease. although they have but one
oar, and although the canals are
sometimes very narrow and crowded,
there is seldom q collision or block
ade. They are born and bred in the
business. Each gondolier owns his
own gondola, and inherits the right
to use it from his father. No licenses
are sold; they are all heredity."

A law was passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature providing for
the signalling of automobiles on high
ways. The law is not operative until
July /, but its context should be well
known now that enthusiasts may get
In the habit before reminded by pay
ing a fine or two. The law in SUBJ
stance states: The driver or opera
tor Of any automobne or motor cycle
on any public road or highway out
side of the limits of any town, when
:signalled by the driver or any vehicle
propelled by horses or other animal
which signal shall be given by rails
ing the hand or in such other man
ner as to attract attention, shall stop
such automobile or motor cycle until
the vehicle is passed; and If ap-
preaching said vehicle from behind,
the driver or operator in charge OF
said automobile or motor cycle shall
stop for a reasonable time and the
driver Of said vehicle shall, as soon
as the condition Of the road will per-
nit, turn to the right and allow at
least one-half of the road on his left
for the passage of said automobile.
The penalty for violating the above
provision is punishable by a fine OF
not less than $40 and not more than
$50.

and healthier surroundings. There
are many ways in which a city can
be beautified. but the first Of them is
in cleanliness. There are in all cities
and towns a good many neglected
places, to which public attention
ought to be directed. 1t is the pro-
vince of these civic socities to call
public attention to such spots and to
devise ways and means for cleaning
them and keeping them clean, and
this is a good work.

In connection with the criticism of
the secretary of the interior for, as is
alleged, having withdrawn the safe
guards thrown about the public
lands in the west, it is well to be
well-informed before proceeding with
unwaranted criticism. One of the
bodies of land withdrawn from public
entry and settlement was in this state
where a large quantity of land, des-
ignated as coal land, was withdrawn
from entry. In addition to this, the
homesteaders on land where coal was
reported to exist, were prevented
from making proof and getting title
to their land. This condition of things
has been changed recently through
the activities of the people of this
state and their representatives al
Washington. Some Of these lands do
contain Ignite coal, in varying guam.
titles and of varying value. But the
chief value of these lands in agricul-
tural, and If all lands where coal
might hereafter be found were to be
withheld from settlement in North
Dakota, a great area would remain
forever unsettled and uncu1tivated
The condition existing in this state
were we'll known and we do not think
there is much If any criticism of the
action of the department in restoring
these lands to entry and giving home
steaders upon the land an opportun.
ity to get their title to their home
steads. Doubtless, In the eyes of ex-
perts who have not been On tho
ground and who are not familiar
with the conditions, all "coal" lands
are '*coal" lands, and ought to be
reserved to the government. This
might be we'll under some conditions,
but we do not believe it would be a
good thing in North Dakota, where
there are many light veins Of coal
of doubtful marketable value, and
where the reservation of all lands
containing traces of coal would mean
a vast unproductive area through the
northern and western part of the
state.
