l LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Contradiction.

Sik, —In your last issue appeared a com- munication signed “Star Boy,” from Long Creek, in which mention was made of my re- turn from Washington Territory, and ‘Star Boy” stated that Lcame home ‘disgusted with that part of Uncle Sam’s domain.” Now, Sir, I do not know where said writer gained his information, unless as his name implies, it was revealed to him by the stare, as [ am not responsible for it. I may say I evjoyed my trip. The country isa fine one, in my estimation, and one of great resources, but I found it laboring under a cpression in trade at the present time. In the next place ‘Star Boy” states that | was induced to go there by false misrepresenta- tion. This is an insinuation that friends of mine in that p'ace were the parties. This is untrue, if such is the writer’s meaning. I inet with friends there who placed me under great obligations by their kindness. My advice to “Star Boy” is for the future to stick closer to the truth in his notes and mind his own business.

Australia’s Beril.

A DEBT OF ALARMING MAGNITUPE CARELBSS- LY CONTRACTED.

Hon. W, A. West-Erskine, of Adelaide, South Australia, who is now en route to Europe, thinks the labor question is bound to cause great trouble in Australia. Referring to the trouble with the strik- ing shearers in Queensland last spring, he said it amounted to a veritable revolution, ‘**You cannot understand,” said Mr. West- Erskine, *‘how calamitous the strike system in the colonies has grown. In northern Australia we grow the finest kind of cotton. [ have seen the pods of this valuable cotton dropping to the ground for the want of picking. The whites will not tolerate color labor on the plantations, although they themselves cannot work in the tropicws. Vast sugar estates, too, had to be abandon- ed, and rich mines of silver gold and tin cannot be worked on account of the un- reasonable attitude of the laboring folk. [un fact a territory teeming with wealth has been turned into waat is little better than a desert. The employers have been always most liberal It is not a question of increased wages or shorter hours. The masses of the laborers are anxious to act fairly, but they dare not do so—they are as potter’s clay in the hands of a knot of disturbers who make a professiun of agita- tin. These mischief makers keep up a continual clamor, demanding the different governments tu borrow money in England for public works. Men in search of votes take up this ruinous cry witha result that sooner or later must be disastrous. If we include New Zealand and Tasmania, the Australian national debt will reach the alarming amount of $1,000,000,000. Just think of that for three million people. Of course we have railroads, telegraphs, public buiidings and schools to show for this, but I can safely say that one-fourth of the money has been invested in non-productive works. The agitators never pause tu cousider that this money must be paid back. There are breakers ahead, I can tell you.”

Six Hundred Feet of Frost.

For many years scientists have been per- plexed over the phenomenon Of a eertain well at Yakutsk, Siberia. As long ago as 1828 a Russian merchant began to sink his noted well, and, after working on it for three years, gave it up, having at that time sunk it to a depth of 30 feet without get- tiag through the frozen ground. He com- municated these facts to the Russian Academy of Science, who sent men to take charge of the digging operations at the wonderful well. These scientific gentlemen torled away at their work for several years, but at last abandoned it when a depth of 382 feet had been reached, with the earth still frozan as hard as arock. In 1844 the academy had the tempenature of the soil at the sides of the well taken at various depths. From the data thus obtained they came to the startling conclusion that the ground was frozim to a depth exceeding 600 feet. Although it is known to meteor- ologists that the pole of the lowest known temperature is in that region of Siberia, it is conceded that not even that vigorous climate could force frost to such a great depth below the surface. After figuring on the subject for overa quarter of a cen- tury, geologists have at last come to the conclusion that the great frozen valley of the Lena river was deposited frozen just as it is found to-day during the great grinding up era of the glacial epoch.

—A number of farmers in the St. Hyacinthe and other districts have, it ap- pears, injured themselves by exclusive dsvotion to the raising of hay. Their farms have consequently degenerated, they are no longer able to keep cattle, and having no cattle have no manure. One of these farmers told the editor of the Courier de St. Hyacinthe that he had long been of opinion that hay culture fertilized land instead of exhausting it, but he was now convinced of the contrary, and he gave illustrations of certain deteriorations on which he based his convictions. Another evil result was that so many farmers rais- ing a single crop the market was over stocked with it, and prices went down instead of advancing. Many of the farm- ers in the neighborhood of St. Hyacinthe have come to the same conclusion. Last spring they began to modify their plans, diminishing the extent of their meadow land, keeping more animals and sowing vegetables. Undoubtedly ia older Canada,

as in the West, mixed farming is best. As the Montreal Gazette remarks, too much independence on one crop is a losing

_ The question whether the press have the right to violate laws made by the State of New York is to be tested in the courts. Never was law 80 thoroughly well broken as the statute governing the execution of criminals by electricty in the recent cases in Sing Sing prison The New York Herald ind Daily News have been chosen for indict- meut, and both papers regard the pr oceediags against them in the light of an honor or distirction. The defenee will be that the constitution gives to the state the right of liberty of the press and that the legislature cannot teke away that right. It is a note- worthy fact that the newspapers have them- selves compelled the prosecution.

No one knows better how to handle American interviewer than the American pulitican, Other people swear, get angry and make fools of the nselves, but snch a level-headed gent eman +s ex-Speaker Thoimn:s B. Reed adopts quite a different plan. He has just returned from Kurope, where he was wade much of by statesmen ia France, Kng'and «and other countrics. He comes back no duubt “oaded up for the campaign, ’ but he does not tell the reporters. He greets their familiar presence with the glad ery “Oh, boys, this is too natural to be true,” Then he remarks that he has forgotten move about politics than he ever knew; the only things which sufficiently impressed him abroad were the ruins and the fact that he was unable in his travels to find a bigger man than himself. And the reporters gave him a great ‘‘write up” for his cheery disposition and his ability to say nothing.

An article onthe Gefman Emperor is one of the most surely popular in the August Century Magazine, the midsummer holiday number, by the way. It is rich ia illustration, with two full-pages engravings, one vf the Emperor and one of the Empress, and it is quite complimentary te the Ger- manruler. Another illustrated paper, and one of much value to a people with in- terests on the sea, is ‘‘Life on the South Shoal Lightship,” with many illustrations and much curious information about this severe mode of life. Mr. Joseph Penell con- tinues his illustrated sketches of Provence and gives more information concerning the bull fights, **The Press as a Newsgatherer” is a useful and an entertaining article. It is written by the chief officer of the Associated Press whose origin it describes, and it gives

the

the public much interesting information about the press. ‘*Moglashen” is the

tirst of a series of ‘*Thumb Nail Sketches,” in which some good things are said, and in which some attractive little pictures are introduced. ‘*Cape Horn and Co. operative Mining in ’49” is a contribution to the California series written pleasantly and with many fine pictures. Henry Van Dyke has a paper on Tennyson, which the reader of that poet will find of much use to him, for besides its critical remarks it has a classification of the poems. Besides chap- ters of Frank R. Stockton’s bright and lively story, ‘*The Squirve) Inn,” and of Edmund Eggleston’s **The Faith Doctor,” there are four short stories, one of which, ‘Little Benault,” is by Mrs. Catherwood. ‘Our Summer Migration” is a considera- tion of a well known phase of American life. ‘“‘The Treatment of Inebriates,” *‘Does Vivisection Help?” ‘The Cheap Money Paradise” and many other themes are discussed; and nearly a dozen coutri- butors,including Louise Chandler Moulton, William H. Hayne and Charles D. G. Roberts, furnish the poetry of the number. The Century Company, New York.

A Lost River.

According to the Los Angeles Herald, the Southern Pacific Riilroad Company has lost a river, and in consequence has a bridge whose vccupation is gone, The Whitewater river has flowed from the Sierre Madre mountains across the sands of the region just this side of Seven Palms as long as anyone can remember. The station of Whitewater was located where the river crosses the railway, and was sup- plied with water from its current. During the last heavy rains the Whitewater rose in its might and devastated the whole country round about, washing out the bridge and the roadbed and playing the mischief gen- erally. Soon the rains and the river stopped si:sultaneously, and the river has not been found since. It appeared to be- come ashamed of itself for doing so much harm, and has apparently slunk away in disgust and sorrow. It is entirely gone. At nu point does it cross the railroad, as it would have to do were it still in existence in some new course. The railroad com- pany, in order to secure water for its sta- tion at Whitewater, has been obliged to build a pipe line away up to the mountains, at considerable expense. Al! Jast summer, during the hottest, driest weather, the

river ran placidly alopng—in fact, it has

never failed until after its **} g”’ of this winter. Now it forms one of the mysteries of thet mysterious region, the Colorado river desert, and perhaps is flowing by the Pegleg mine, and possibly rippling beside the treasure-laden Spanish galleon which lies somewhere in tbat region buried in sand.

British Cattle Trade.

From remaiks made by Mr. Parker Smith, M. P., in the consideration of the civil ser- vice estimates in the British House of Com- mons, it appears that the complaints of the cattle trade between Ireland and England have had far more ground than those which were bronght against the Trans-Atlantic cattle trade. According to Mr. Smith the responsibility in this case rested not with the shippers of the cattle, but with shipowners, who tried at all risks so economize their space. Mr, Chaplin, minister of agriculture, admitted that Mr. Parker Smith was justified in bringing the matter before the committee, but added that he had already been giving attention to the matter and would see that the suggested reforms were carried out.
