IMPORTING CONTRACT LABOR.
It is said that taece ia ajatcautio vio
latiou of the law prohiottiag the admis
aioa of contract foreign labor and a
vigorous iBvaategation it bcsag.aaada by
treaawxyoatokls. Tae afetecientie made
that a fe w weeks ago a atesnasfcip brought
from Earope 2JBQQ ixnxajgrants, who with
few cutoaptioaa ware uader contract snd
aaat to cattle raachea aad fanaa in the
northwestern states. It ia alao aaid that
only a few daya ago the bureau of imau
gratioa obtained evidence of s large con
eignBieat of foreign eontraot laborers to
Faanaylvania. The investigation by the
aatharities is intended to show if iaau
gration agents are operating on the other
side sad secretly violating the law by
shipping large narabera of amen from
Earone with the understanding that
work wfll be given theam, Itia believed
that the steamship ooaapanjea co-operate
with these agents.
The law prohibiting the importation
of alien labor under contract was enact
ed in response to a strong public senti
ment and it should be rigidly enforced.
Before the enactment of the law every
steamer coming bom Europe brought in
contract labor, imported to work in the
coal mines and in some of the manufac
turing industries. Not only were the
laborers thus brought in for the most
part of a very low class, but the terms of
the contracts with them were such as to
subject them to practical slavery. Many
thousands of these people employed in
the coal mines of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Virginia were far worse off in all respects
than were the slaves of the south. The
overwhelming populardemand to put an
end to this was needed by congress.
Undoubtedly there have been many
evasions of the law, but it appears from
the reports that violations have become
systematic. This must be put a stop to.
Men who freely come here from abroad
to work will be welcome, but we want
no contract labor to compete with Amer
ican wage-earners.-Omaha Bee.
TREATMENT OF ALKALI LAND.
One of the greatest problems on the
Pacific coast and the inter-mountain
states and some parts of Kansas and
Nebraska is how to get rid of the alkali
in otherwise good land, says the Wal
laces' Farmer. Under irrigation, where
there is any alkali in the water, the
alkali constantly increases until it fails
to produce good crops. For example,
there is n large amount of land in Utah
which formerly grew splendid alfalfa
but which ia now useless because of the
seepage water from irrigation ditches on
a higher level. In time this will be
more or less of a problem in every part
of the irrigation territory. The alkali
is soluble in water and when the water
is run on to the land and escapes from
it only by evaporation the alkali is left.
Farmers in the humid sections do not
think much about alkali and yet it will
be found all over the prairie country
wherever there are ponds or swales or
otherwise undrained land. It appears
in the spring of the year, when evapora
tion is rapid, like n thin coating of
bee on the black soil. It is this alkali
which makes so-called gumbo land so
tough that causes it to form exceedingly
hard clods, and crack 'open to such
depths in a dry time.
The department of agriculture is con
ducting a very interesting experiment on
some 60,000 to 90,000 acres lying between
Salt Lake City and the lake which will
grow nothing at all because it has three
per cent alkali in it The method emr
ployed is simply tile drainage with irri
gation. The irrigation water dissolves
the alkali and the tile drains carry it off
in this soluble state. In one year they
have taken out twenty tons of alkali
per acre, or about one per cent. The
rest will be taken out this year, and then
the land will produce crops.
Those of our readers who are farming
under irrigation and using water that
contains any appreciable percentage of
alkali must make up their minds that in
time, drains to carry water out of the
land will be quite as important as irri
gating ditches to carry water on to it.

John Fknwick was drowned in a cut
off of the Cedar river near Fauerton last
Saturday while seining in the pond with
two others. He stepped into a hole
many feet beyond his depth and having
on waders and the current being very
swift, he immediately sank out of sight.
One of his friends went to the rescue,
bat ia attempting to save him nearly
lost his own life. Fenwick leaves n wife
and two young children. About four
teen years ago the same month and
nearly the same day, Mr. William Paton
lost his life in the same place while
bathing with Hon. George D. Meikle-
john.
A sunns of public aales of pure bred
stock will prove a popular attraction at
the Interstate Live Stock Fair Sioux
City, August 31 to September 6. These
aales will enable the farmers snd breed

their choice in fine cattle or hogs of the
several breeds at their own price, and
some of the best breeders in the business
will contribute stock to these sales. If
yoa are breeding fine stock, or contem
plating a start in this direction, a splen
did opportunity to secure something
desirable will be found at this time.

The following letter from Miss Winnie
Young, who is with the teachers excur
sion to Boston, will be read with inter
est by her acquaintances:
At Kingston, Friday morning? July 3,
on board boat going up the St Law
rence to Montreal.
I did not write yesterday as we put in
a good foil day of sight seeing. After
we left Chicago we stopped at Grand
Bapids just long enough to take a short
promenade in the fresh air.
We arrived at Niagara) in the early
morning, crossed over the suspension
bridge to Canadian Niagara, took a car
to Prospect Park overlooking Niagara
Falls. We saw it all, American Falls,
Canadian Falls, Luna Island, Oost
Islsnd, The Three Sister Islands, and
went down in a spiral stairway below
the falls. We could not go under them
as we did not have time. It was a beau
tiful bright day and we saw them in all
their grandeur. From the falls we went
to Lswiston through the gorge for ten
miles in a trolley, seeing the rspids and
whirlpool.
At Lewiston we went on board the
Corona and had a very pleasant voyage
across the lake to Toronto.
When we arrived at Toronto an ex
pressman very generously presented our
party with a basket of cherries which
we enjoyed very much. From the depot
we went in a tally-ho party ten miles
through the city. It is a very beautiful
city of trees and churches. We went
through St Michael's cathedral built at
a cost of 1,000,000, 1 think. Itia built
of stone and is covered like n great many
of the larger buildings, with Boston ivy.
We went into the suburbs over a bridge
ninety feet high into Bossdsle. We
sko went through the Parliament build
ing which ia a magnificent structure
both inside and out. I sat in the speak
era chair. In front of the building is a
ststne of Queen Victoria in bronze. It
is a splendid likeness. The University
of Toronto is snotber beautiful building.
The town was very beautifully decorated
for the home coming day of former resi
dents. Of course we cheered whenever
our flag was in sight and when we came
to Mayor Shaw's residence be waved to
ua in recognition. There are many old
relics of buildings which were quite a
curiosity to us.
We left there about 10:30 p. m. for
Kingston, passing Belleville at midnight
and arriving here at 4:30 a. m. We are
now on the boat, the whistle has blown
and we are starting up the river. Aawe
journey I will tell you about the Thou
sand Islsuds which we see all around na
and we are going through the rspids as
well. You don't know what a trip it ia;
I never imagined it could be so grand.
I forgot to tell you that our boat is
the "Kingston,'' on which your royal
highnesses the prince and princess of
Wales visited the Thousand Islands.
As we left Kingston with its grey
stone structures and martello towers we
have been winding in and out between
the islands, sometimes coming to open
places like a lake, at other times passing
through groups that it moat take an ex
perienced pilot to go through. The
islands differ so in site and color some
dark, some light, some oovered with
creeping vines, others more grassy, some
are high, some low.
We have made several stops. This
last one we are at' now ia Foatenae
which has the finest .hotel aad park I
have seen.
I shall atop now and tell you the rest
next time. So good-by.

Q. A. Schroedersnd Dan Bray, attend-

will no doubt do all in his power to pro
tect the fish and game of this county.
On the old Winslow farm, now owned
by Sheldon k Son, is a 40-aere patch of
corn that has been planted scarcely a
month and the tops of the corn will soon
reach the arch of the cultivator. It has
shown the most rapid growth of any corn
along the route. Mr. Sheldon has been
assisting in the cultivation of this corn
and although be ia getting along in years
we notice he can throw the cultivator
around a hill of corn with as much pro
ficiency as a young man of 20.
Bev. Papenhaueen tells us of a model
way to exterminate rata, We believe it
a good' remedy and will pass it along
gratis: Take a barrel, put eight inches
of water in it, set a brick on end in the
same, fasten a paper over top of barrel,
making some slits in psper, place some
very attractive bait on the paper; when
the rat goes after it he will of course
drop into the barrel and will, as soon as
he can conveniently do so, get on top of
the brick. Along comes another rat,
we presume a boon companion of the
enfortunate one now in an ungrateful
position. This second rat follows in
the footsteps of the former. He, too,
looks for more favorable footing after
his plunge, and then the fun begins.
They do not stop for Queensbury rules
but go at it catch, catch as you can.
This disturbance among the rat tribe ia
something very attractive and imme
diately the entire population of rats in
hearing the disturbance make a sorsm-
I ble for front seats in the prize fighting
arena. When once there you have your
rats for they have never, been known to
return alive. You who are troubled
with them try this.
