--NHE story Of the settlement Of
Dawson county Is like the
story OF the American colonies,
- like the story Of the Saxon
8NIN6NAh conquest, just a story Of fifty
- years ago. when Dawson
county was marked on the map a desert
and for most part It was a desert indeed.
Before civilized men came to grapple It
this desert lay green and tempting in May
and June and brown and. dreary the rest
OF the year. Along the streams the giant
bluestem grass hid the deer and antelope
and formed a place Of forage for the
coyote and the gray wolf that lived In the
thickots Of the river bottom. Every fall
from the states northern to its southern
boundary great prairie fires, house high
roared over the plains and marked II with
ribbons of black desolation scores of miles
WIDE, for the north wind and the south
wind that carried the fires across this
prairie made forests impossible, and no
creature not fleet of foot or light Of wing
could make this place its habitat. The
Mormons and the forty-niners left sun
Flower seeds by the roadside and the yellow
flowers In their seasons marked with a
blaze of glory the main trail that followed
the ever winding stream. on these trails
or near them the forts and trading posts
or the government and the relay stations
OF the freighters and the mail carriers
were found. He who would venture north
or south from these highways had only
the sun and stars to guide him. And
= when settlers did come into the prairie
their early journeys over the virgin, track
less sod were accompanied by a music that
has been still for these twenty years-the
purring of the tall bluestem under the
wagon bed in the rich valleys, marked with
u strangely beaten time as the heads of
the resin weeds tattooed upon the wagon
bed and spokes. 1t was a sound like the
tapping OF velvet waves upon golden sands
and many and many a child lying curled
up on the bottom Of the movers wagon
has known 1t for his lullaby. And in the
dreams OF thousands Of men and women
OF mature years, pilgrims in the uttermost
parts Of the earth, this song Of the blue
stem, and the resin weeds tattoo come
bringing with them a memory of clear,
blue sky, hung at the horizon with long,
trailing clouds that beckoned into an en-
chanted distance. So came the settlers TO
Dawson county.

and also the low alluvial soils farther
down. They breed their cattle in central
places where the bulls are kept and when
they have a goodly flock drive them from
place to place to find pasture. During
this time their homes are round tents OF
hide, which they can set up or take down
as they please. When the cattle are ready
for the market they drive them to the
Russian or Manchurian cities for sale.
Al the present time there is no great
demand for meat in this part Of the world.
The Chinese live upon grain, vegetables
and fish. with a bit of native pork now
and then. The Buddhists do not eat meat
at all and the demand is confined to the
Mohammedan Chinese. TO the Russians
and to such foreigners as come into the
country. The price for q 6-year-old steer
II only SIS in gold.
The cattle are so poorly kept that It
takes from six 10 eight years to fit a steer
for the market instead of three years, as
at home. Mr., Parker says that the ami
mails are much like our old Texas long
horns. They have large but not heavy
frames, and on that account they would
form an ideal cattle to cross with our
Herefords. He says their meat is ex-
cellent. resembling the compact flesh OF
the grass-fed cattle Of Montana, but not
at all like the corn-fed buliocks OF Iowa.
The best markets today are those OF Rus
sian Siberia. Vladivostok takes consider
able meat, and there Is a packing plant
there with ammonia coolers and concrete
floors. About 5000 cattle are consumed a
month at Hardin, and droves are sent over
land 70 Blagovestchensk, on the Amoor,
and also 20 other Russian stations with
large military forces.

undeveloped farm lands OF the world lies
right here. The whole of Manchuria has
a climate and soil fitted for good cult
walton, and It will raise inconcelvable sup
plies Of wheat, corn and all sorts Of hardy
grains. The soil Of the greater part OF
the province Is just like the prairies OF
the Mississippi valley. Much of 1t COM
pares well with the best parts of the
wheat belt Of Canada, and not a little in its
fertility will surpass that Of the Red river
valley. The country has some mountain
Gus regions; but there are wide valleys
and rolling plains, so rich that they need

farms are widely scattered and there are

authorities are thinking Of throwing open

cultural experts tell me that they have

methods are so crude that II employed in

rian land yields from thirty to fifty bushels
of sorghum seed per acre, and twenty
bushels OF wheat 1t produces about fifty
bushels OF corn. and with improved seed
and cultivation similar to ours it would
probably yield as much maize on the aver

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
IN the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
That the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
Journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap-
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew Of the car and an Interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter

was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, II such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
therefore, 1t would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even tightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and penalty in

guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

Captain Bradley S. Osborne, secre-
tary of the Arctic club, says the ex-

weeks.
"He is due in Copenhagen in three
days, said Captain Osborne, "and if
he came straight home would arrive in
New York about the middle of Septem-
ber, but his friends believe that he
may make several stops on the way.
For one thing the geographers and sci
entists of Copenhagen will tender him
welcome. He may go to Christiana

Of the Northwest passage; it is likely
that he will visit Belgium where he

to Coast.
Chicago, Sept. 4.-The management
OF the Santa Fe railroad has about de-
cided to put into operation a new fast
mail and express train to run between
Kansas City and Los Angeles, with a
view to capturing the bulk of the
Southern California mail.
This adds another speed war to that

the mail. express and passenger traffic
to the Pacific coast, affecting a differ
ent territory between the East and CAL
ifornia.
The entire Southern California mail
is involved in the move, and this is
said to bring about $1.25O, 900 annual
revenue to the railroads. The Santa
Fe and Rock Island, in connection
with the Southern Pacific, now have
this business about equally divided.
The bulk of this mail comes from
the st. Louis gateway by the Missouri
Pacific. The reweighing period for all

and west of st. Paul begins next Feb
ruary and on this account every road
in that territory is urging the DISPOSE
tion of the mails for the yearly period

government. Formerly the Santa Fe
carried the bulk of the Southern Cali
fornia mail, but several years ago the
Missouri Pacific put on fast train
which captured the mail out of st.
Louis and the Rock Island put on its
Golden State Limited, which left Kan
sas City just after the arrival of the
Eastern mails. At that time the San
ia Fe was not in position to change
its schedule to wait for the mails.

Honolulu, Sept. 4.-The will of the
late Charles M. Cooke disposes of but
little property, the bulk of his holding
being the corporation of C. M. Cooke,

property be not appraised, that no

has been declared illegal by Attorney
General Hemenway, owing to the in
heritance tax law. Some estimates
