Show f, . r A W .rfAVE GIRL'S DEED. y t jss Maud Annis, daughter of the captaiH of the British bark James II. Hamlin, deserves to rank high among the heroines of the sea. The Dis-r Dis-r atcii tells its readers the story of her courage and perservance to-day. When her father's ship was taken by that terror of the tropics, yellow fever, Miss Annis was the bravest soul on board. With the first mate dead and the captain and the rest of the crew ill and helpless in their berths, the slender slen-der girl and the second mat( together navigated the stricken vessel for many days. It was a feat of endurance as well as daring. To stand day after day at the wheel of a sailing ship for the length of time that Miss Annis piloted the James II. Hamlin toward port would have severely tried muscles mus-cles of steel. At length the strength of the heroic girl gave out, and when a pilot boarded them off Aux Cayes, Hayti, she, too, was delirious with fever. fe-ver. But her courage and constancy had saved the ship. ' The name of Maud Annis should not be forgotten in the annals of feminine achievement. The relations between the advertiser and the newspaper are closer than between be-tween individuals in business transactions. transac-tions. The newspaper brings business to the advertiser as no other agency can do. It makes the public familiar with his name and the merits of his goods and wares. It extends a daily invitation invita-tion to the public to visit his place of business, and the return is always commensurate with the amount of advertising done. On the other hand, the advertising patronage of a newspaper news-paper is not only its main source of revenue, but is the measure of its popularity pop-ularity and value. There is no other business transaction in which the benefits are so thoroughly mutual as in newspaper advertisng. IKOVO MARKET UUPOStT. WHOLESALE PRICES. I Corrected Semi-Weekly by J. R. Boshard.

Bonth Dakota has taken a lesson from her various droughts, and is preparing to irrigate tho whole state. There are no lakes or rivers whence to draw the water supply, hence artesian wells must be resorted re-sorted to. There is a state board of irrigation, irri-gation, and a state engineer of the Bame. The possibilities of artesian wella seem infinite. They can be utilized as power for mills, farm carpenter shops and dairies. dai-ries. The overflow can be gathered and turned into a pool for a pretty fish pond, making a picturesque object in the landscape land-scape and giving a valuable food supply in a state where fish are in the nature of things scarce. Once drilled, an artesian well will turn a desert into an oasis which will' produce more abundantly than land where rainfall is sufficient to be depended on. But the question is, How shall the wells be dug?,They are expensive, tho machinery for digging them is costly and liable to make an unexpected break just when consequences are worst. Tho state board of irrigation has this and other problems to face, with a determination determi-nation to solve them. The Dakota Farmer Farm-er proposes that several farmers club together and build wells for each other on the co-operative plan. The machinery ma-chinery costs from $1,000 to 3,000. Companies are so anxious to dispose of their goods that they will sell machinery ma-chinery on time, part cash, the rest in one or two years. With these inducements induce-ments farmers might manage to get four or five wells with one set of machinery, ma-chinery, doing the work as well as buying buy-ing tho machinery on the co-operative tJan.
