VISITOR FROM ALASKA.

Henry McCrimmon, a former resi-
dent of Stutsman county, is in the
city visiting his mother, Mrs. Ellis.
and sister, Mrs. Frank Bennett. Mr..
McCrimmon went to Klondike In
August, 1897, year after the dis
covery of gold in that famous re-
gion. He spent the winters of 1897
SO and 1900 there, and returned to
this country in 1901 and has spent
every winter since then In Dawson
and the country tributary. Mr..
McCrimmon is engaged in hydraul-
ic mining. and being miner himself
was naturally attracted to the gold
fields of Alaska. 1t is reported he
has had his share of the fortunes of
that precarious industry. He has
undergone many hard trips in the
earlier. days of his residence in Alas
ka, and has had many novel expert
ences common to the lot of the min
er in that region.

With such fluctuations from CEN
tury to cettury, it is clear that our
standard must vary proportionately.
We cannot feel equally in sympathy
with the products of every age. Our
individuality is too strong. More-
over, each age has it's peculiar man
ner, its own triumphs and failures,
its characteristic excellences and de-
fects. 1t is true, l suppose, that
people often look at picture with
out a thought as to when, where or
by whom it was painted. But to full
1y understand a picture we must try
to see it with the eyes Of the paint
er's age. That is why view of art
by centuries helps to understand pic
lures.
All art, like all GauI, falls
into three grand divisions. But
the divisions in art have not
hard and set boundaries.
They intermingle, and one grows out
of the other. These divisions arc
called classic, romantic and individ-
nal.
Classic art concerns itself with
form alone. 1t is cold and formal.
Romantic art appeals to the SEN
tSment and emotion. The artists Of
this school painted mostly historical
and literary subjects.
Individualism in art grew out of
romanticism. Romanticism broke
the stern rule of classicism. and in
turning to human nature tho artist
turned with new eyes t, the great
world of nature that enfolds all life.
1t was in England that the first ef
fects were seen, and it was group
of English artists, Constable, Bon
nington and Fielding, who struck
the key note. They exhibited 20
works in Paris and created storm
of criticism which resulted in the
English artists winning the prizes
and gaining a great following IN
France. They alsos gave the inspi-
ration which resulted in the great
Landscape schoolSof France, which
has produced the masterpieces of the,
world in landscape; Corot Rousseau,
Millet. Daubigny, Diaz, Dupre and
ssBaetoa are in the lead Anathts saool.
You will notice that these pictures
are etchings. An etching is the art
and process of engraving by means
of acid which eats lines in the sur
face"

of jamestown banks are given this

for the city, although not the great
est that has been made. Had the
weather permitted the earlier thresh-

there is no doubt but what the 2ag-
gregate Of deposits would have been
considerably more. The deposits in
the three jamestown banks are ST.
