Kenmare Journal: The Journal
would like to correct an impression
given out by the state papers last
week, relative to our recent telephone
controversy. The Minot Optic first
carried the story, and it was to the
effect that the citizens Of Kenmare
had lost all sense OF reason in the
matter and were acting like a bunch
Of hoodlums. The report said that the
city was up in arms, people were tear
ing their phones from the walls, end a
lot Of other chatter along the stsne
vein-and the article was copied in
every daily paper in the state. The
Journal dislikes to see such an i'm
preston go uncontradicted. AT III
time did the citizens of Kenmare or
the officers Of the telephone company
resort to methods that would give
foundation to such a report. There
We're several honest differences JUROR
which the council and the company
had to reach an agreement, and Tho
Journal Is pleased to say that thia
was done in a reasonable and bust
nesslike way, and without the least
seinblance Of rowdyisrn such as the
report would infer. Tt would be UNI
fair to both the city and the Northern
Telephone CO. to allow the report Il

Ing Place Of Rubiss--Not Easily
Made Artiflcially.

Sapphires are rapidly becoming the
fashionable gems, according TO London
jewelers., and this popularity is gained
at the expense Of the rubies, which
were in great demand a little while
ago, A Hatton Garden jewel mer-
chant said:
""he falling on in the demand for
rubies is largely due to the number
OF artificial rubles on the market
People do not like TO buy the genuine
stones when so many false rubies are
being worn Fine. big rubies, how
ever, have not decreased in value. A
good four karat stone should fetch
$1,000, while smaller stones still sell
from $50 to 5000 a karat. Small
rubies are certainly cheaper about
% per cent-than they were a year
ago, owing to the lack Of buyers"
Taking a wallet from his pocket
the merchant distracted two tissue
paper packets, and, opening them, shot
out handful of shimmering sky blue
sapphires. These stones are worth
from S25 to $50 a karat" he said, casu.
ally picking them like beads. They
are stones which can not be made
artifcially so well as rubies"
Inquiries at large firm OF jewellers
in the west end of London elected the
information that for some eighteen
months past the demand for rubies
had been small Both sapphires and
emeralds may be said to be having a
vogue now" said a salesman.

for hop raising The soil with a high
percentage Of sand is readily tillable,
while the cultivation OF a stiff soil Is
difficult and expensive. Owing to
variations In the rainfall, amount of
sunshine, and fierce of the prevailing
winds, land suitable for hop culture
in one region would be entirely I'M
suitable II located in another Since
the roots of the hop plant penetrate
the earth for a distance of many feet,
a well-drained subsoil is essential.
Especial attention must be given to
the depth, fertility, drainage, and fine
ness of the soil Heavy wet soils are
avoided and stiff clayey soils are in
general dlsfavor.
Hop plants may be raised from the
seeds, but this method is seldom EN-
ployed, since by using cuttings strong
plants are more easily and quickly
secured.
In some sections Of the Pacific coast
a crop may be obtained from cuttings
planted in the spring, but in general
q full crop Is not harvested until the
second year.
The best cuttings are those taken
from young plants. as they are more
resistant to disease and should be
more productive than those from old
plants All cuttings should be care
fully inspected before planting and
the diseased or damaged ones rejected
The opportunity for producing i'm
