A VAST SALT FIELD.
How tlie Product is Obtained Iu tbe
Middle of tlic Colorado Dcxert.
In tlie middle of the Colorado desert,
a little to tlie north of the Mexican
border and 2G4 feet below the level of
the sea, lies a field of crystallized salt
more than a thousand acres in extent,
presenting a surface as white as snow
and beneath the noonday glare of tho
sun so dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand its radiance. It stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Colo., an ocean of blazing, blistering1
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work overturning the great de
posit with massive plows and scrapers,
getting it into great piles preliminary
to putting it through tho relining proc
ess. The salt plows used to secure the
harvest are great four wheeled imple
ments driven by steam and managed
by two men. The salt crust is thrown
up in parallel ridges then laborers
with hoes work it to and fro in the
water, washing out the dirt prelim
inary to stacking it in mounds to be
taken to the mill.
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
constantly contributing to the deposit,
and so heavily laden are they with al
most pure salt that the plow has hardly
passed on before a new crust has
formed in the furrow left. This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than a small portion of the vast de
posit.
As may be supposed, work in these
fields is performed under the most try
ing conditions. No white man can
stand the intense heat, and for this
reason the work is done wholly by
Japauese and by Coaliuila Indians. Of
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted to the work, tlie .Japanese per
forming only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which tlie salt 4s shipped. The
atmosphere, laden as it is with parti
cles of salt, gives rise to a painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from a single well. It is
warm and ill tasting.
IB
used a great deal for heavy hauling and
is the only outlet from the stone quar
ries.
The trustees of Union and South
Fork townships met last Saturday to
talk over the new road law. The prin
cipal conclusion arrived at was that it
IB going to be a diiiicult matter to get
the machinery of tbe new law into full
operation this year, though all were of
the opinion and desire that a practical
application will be more likely another
year. The gentlemen present were
without exception in favor ot good and
permanent road building to tbe limit of
their powers and funds.—Leader.

Beautiful mirages frequently appear
above the great salt field in the day
time, sky pictures of magnificent cities
and flower dotted, tree shaded fields.
The moonlight, too, produces won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of gleaming salt. For sev
eral weeks in the year the thermome
ter 011 the salt lield averages 140 de
grees, and the reflection of the sun
produces a glare like that from a fur
nace. The deposits vary in thickness
from ton to twenty Indies aiul form
a solid crust over the great marsli. It
is estimated that about 700.tons are
now plowed up daily.—New York Trib

at the head of tlie stairs, saying plain

gave ber a favorite rubber doll named
Happy to take to bed with ber and for
a few minutes she was quiet. Then
she reappeared with her plaint of Ione
someness. This time her mother re
minded her that God was with her and
sent her back to bed with reproof.
Soon she was hoard weeping bitterly,
and when her mother went to her little
Mabel summed up her sense of misery
by exclaiming, "I don't want Happy,
and I don't want (,'od I want some
body with a skin face!"

Is your husband a strong willed
man?" asked Mrs. Sampson of ber
neighbor, Mrs. Towne. After a mo

"I don't know," she said dubiously.
I always thought he was, but the oth
er day he went into a department store
to get a new rug for the sitting room
because he said he wouldn't go another
day with our old shabby one.
"He happened to get off on the wrong

llnckncya and Dachshunds.
Hackneys of skyscraping knee action
are to some exteut freaks in horseflesh
of little more real value to mankind
than dachshunds, the sawed off dwarfa
nmong dogs. The little child who said
of this ridiculous splayfooted, bowleg*
god caricature of the canine race that
it must have been born under a bureau
hit the mark exactly. The nose smit

throw their front legs over their ears
at every stride arc grotesque aberra
tions from sound aud admirable types.
They and the dachshuuds should dis
appear together.—New York Tribune.
The Bite of the Sen Lion.
The bite of the sea lion is poisonous
besides, it is an ugly wound from the
manner in which it is inflicted. Al
though the creature moves painfully
and slowly on land, the motion of ito
head and neck is extremely quick. The
neck seems to have an almost elastic
quality. One is surprised at its reach,
The sea lion is like a bulldog. When
he has caught hold, he does not let go
at once, but sets his teeth firmly in the
flesh. Then he twists his head, the
teeth being still embedded in the flesh,
and, without relinquishing his grip, he
gives a quick jerk. The result is to
pull out a ragged piece of flesh if the
animal has taken a deep hold.—Leslie's
Weekly.
BIarlle» Support a State*
It is said that the making of marbles,
so dear to the heart of the small boy, is
the main support of the poor in the
state of Thuringia, Germany. They
gather small square stones and grind
them in machines similar to coffee mills
until they ore rounded. "Commies,"

RANSOM COUNTY
The Banner County of the State of North Dakota
for Diversified Farming and Stock Raising.
RANSOM COUNTY"is situated in southeastern North Dakota.. The
general lay of the country is level to rolling. The soil is a heavy black
loam, three or four feet deep, underlaid with a clay subsoil. Rainfall
averages from 20 to 22 inches per annum. Ransom county will be the
future dairying and diversified farming county of North Dakota, and is
now being rapidly taken up by a prosperous class of farmers from
southern Minnesota, Iowa. Illinois, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
These people have made a success of farming in their different localities
and are recognizing the future of Ransom county. Besides, the fann
ers that are selling lands in these old localities all the way from $50 to
$1.50 per acre recollect that from ten to fifteen years ago their land was
elling from $15 to $30 per acre, and this is to be repeated in Ransom
county. Ransom county this year harvested one of the finest crops of
corn, wheat, oats, barley and flax in its history. Hundreds of tbe best
farmers of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and eastern South
Dakota are selling their high priced land and are buying farms in Ran
som county, where the soil is as rich and the climate as good as in their
former homes. A visit of inspection invariably convinces the land
seeker that Ransom county offers greater inducements for profitable
farming and dairying than any other section in the northwest. Write
us for maps or any information you want concerning Ransom county
We will gladly respond to all correspondence. ''f~
