Hot Weather Fare.

Milk is food and drink at the same
tie when they declare that a pint OF
milk has the nouriShing power of a
pound of meat, but the meat might
not be eaten in hot weather, while
the milk would be drunk and what
ever meat equivalent it does contain
assimilated. DR.. Woods Hutchinson,
who is trying to uproot old notions Of
food and medicine. says that there is
danger of eating too little as we'll as
too much in hot weather. The don't
feel like eating" feeling may be only
a revolt against stereotyped bills of
fare.
People can drink milk in hot wealth
err who do not relish it in the cool
season. With free p%erspiration the
system demands liquid reinforcement.
This is afforded by milk. American
soldiers in Cuba craved milk. and they
continued to crave it after they came
north throughout the heated term.
Their condition was probably that of
the average person when the heat is
almost tropical. Fruit is also food and
drink. The juices of many varieties
of fruit are the purest waters in the
world. Nature knows a thing or two,
and fruit is her summer product,
meant largely for summer consump-
ton. The kinds good for winter are
inedible in summer, Il hint to man to
consume the rest and to distinguish in
all things between food for hot wealth
err and food for cold.

New York's Chinatown MYTH.

The term chinatown" is Il mis-
homer when applied to the quarter
where the largest number of Celes-
tails congregate in New York. A short,
crooked street and 200 or 300 feet of
a street into which it leads form the
nese. There is a temple" and a Chi
nese ''theater." Many Of the shops
where Chinese wares are exposed for
sale have a striking oriental front"
But whatever there is of oriental form,
color or device merely serves as a
veneer for the squalid conditions in
basement. attic and rear which have
belonged to the district for genera
lions. The neighborhood all around
is inhabited by the lower elements of
many foreign nationalities.
The best and the most snowy fea-
lures Of the Chinese quarter are
maintained to draw revenue from
sightseeing whites. Out of sight are
accommodations of all sorts for the
nonresident Chinese who flock in on
Sundays and holidays. The Chinese
are scattered throughout the great
city. in New Jersey and towns up the
Hudson and on Long Island. One
can walk through the district and not
meet a dozen Celestials, yet there may
be thousands hived within a stones
throw. The chief attraction in the
Chinese quarter for whites is the
chop sucy restaurant. an institution
which is invading bohemian neighbor-
hoods farther uptown. The scene of
the Elsie Sigel tragedy was over four
miles from the so called Chinatown.
1t will be better for all concerned if
the Chinese scatter and do not sue
coed in building up a permanent CEN
ter of seething orientalism. The pres
ent one is Il plague spot in the midst
of a plague spot, and only the most
vivid Imagination can make it pic
turesque or worth seeing as a speci-
men of what the orient is like.

Railroad Building.

Roughly speaking, there are about
$4,000, 900 tons of rails in use on the
steam roads of the United States, says
the Iron Trade Review, about 2O,OOO,-
600 tons of iron and steel in cars and
locomotives and perhaps 100000
tons more in bridges, viaducts and
buildings. a grand total of something
like 100000 DOC tons for 22S,OOO miles of
road. This is about $50 tons per mile.
The world at large has two and a half
times as great a railroad mileage as
the United States and doubtless twice
as much iron and steel in use, so that
the world has something like 100000
600 tons of iron and steel engaged in
steam railroad transportation.
For three years past. according to
this same authority, the railway mile
age of the world has increased on an.
average of 2.6 per cent a year and
that of the United States pa per cent
a year. For many years the United
States built more rapidly than the rest
of the world, but now that it has a
mile of road for every thirteen square
miles of area the territory is well
served, and rapid increase cannot be
expected. At the rate of increase for
three years past ii would take APP
prozimatelN twenty-seven years to
double the worlds railroad mileage.

Regulating Aerial seCarriers.,,

HeSulatlnS Aerial "CarrterS.'
The late Professor Newcomb pub
licly expressed the opinion that the
a%eroplane and gas bag are being over
rated. He based his judgment on
knowledge of the upper air gained as
an astronomer. Even while the re-
mains Of the scientist were being en-
tombed there was a flock of human
birds flying or trying to fly in the face
of his prediction. Aerial contests take
place almost every day, and more men
are busy with machines than there
were eXperimenters with electricity
and steam motors when Morse and
Fulton scored their triumphs. Seem
inSly assured that aerial navigation is
no dream, but must speedily reach the
practical stage, Germany and France
are ut work Upon a code Of regulations
for aerial carriers.
1t remains to be determined what
shape aerial transportation will take.
SO lar there seems little prospect that
regular service can be guaranteed.
The balIoonists at county fairs often
have to postpone on account of the
weather. Perhaps the first stage will
be aerial fair weather service. for
which passengers will patiently wait
just to have the sensation of their
lives. Regulations against overload
ing will then be in order. and u life
preserving parachute should be attach
ed TO each passenger. not merely stored
within reach. The rights of those un-
derneath will put countless new tan
giles into the laws of trespass.

The state board of equalization in
determining the value Of railroads and
other property has e~ndeaYored to equal
5ze all alike and il this result has NOT
been accomplished it rs because OF
mistaken judgment and not because
of dishonesty Of intention. Real estate
values were increased IN some instances
and the valuation for TAXATION purposes
Is believed to be about twenty-five per
cent of the actual value. The board. in
placing a value of $4,000 a mile on the
main lines Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, and $4,000 per mile
on the main line of the 500, endeavored
to arrive at this result precisely on the
basis that other property was ..equalized
one quarter of actual value. No raise
was made IN the assessment of sthe
branch lines. as the boardticonsidered
that these were assessed too high here
tofore as compared to the trunk lines.
The members of the board reasoned
mat IN some Instances the branch lines
dld not produce revenue sufficient to
pay running expenses, giving good Iser-
vice to the patrons and interest on the
Investment. The building and operating
of these branch lines is of the greatest
Importance to the state, and thew should
be valued and assessed in proportion to
the main lines. The increase in valu-
alton of railroad and other property and
the natural increase in taxable property
amounts to considerable but the state
is growing rapidly andgthe.sincreased
cost Of running its affairs and liquidat.
ing it's obligations requires the increase
that has been made in valuations fol-
taxation purposes.

Just as soon asHs.the grain is cut the
farmers should waste no time in pillow
ing fire guards around everything that
is p%erishable by fire. Buildings, hay
stacks and even grain fields are all safer
TO be protected in this way an inasmuch
as the plowlng must be done later it is
not labor in am. Heavy rains earlier
in the season have produced "a rank

CORNERlNG THE WHEAT CROP.

A conversation was overhead recently
in the Chicago Office of Jim Patten, the
great wheat gambler, in which the
speaker declared that all movements of
the farmers to market their products
without the aid of the boards of trade
must be suppressed. that the farmers
did not know enough to market their
crops, and besides the prices,s were
governed by the worlds markets, the
board of trade would see to it that the
reports sent out regarding the. .crops
would be most tlattering and the prices
for grain would be held down until the
producers sold out.
The news in the press confirms this,
already it is given out that North lDa-
states have bumper crops, the price of
wheat and other grain, have been
marked down. The plan of the American
Society of Equity must be carried out if
the farmers expect a fair price for their
grain, only by selling according to the
plan adopted by the Fargo convention,
can success be attained.
How important 1t Is for the farmers to
combine and cooperate through the
society, has been pointed out by Senator
McCumber, whostated that the Society
OF Equity" was the best organization
hat the farmers had ever had and that
it was for their best interest to join the
society, pool their grain and soil it by
modern methods" the Senator further
said, that they must combine or they
would be crushed by the elevator trust"
James j. Hill said recently at Grand
Forks" last year | tried the experiment
OF holding my wheat ! kept ii At homo
until aFterthe rush was over. This gave
me time to get my IAN work done. My
|nel&hoor- who hurried their marketing
20. a5ou Soc. / made money on the
rropby waiting, and @oemy work done"
This Is tAe plan of the -oeie.y. hold
your grain andsell il only as ii is needed
by 80 doing You can secure the prices
fixed 10y the Fargo convention.
