SOUTH Fork OF SALMON,
I'll OF 1927

&1
MEssRs. EDITORS :sNot having seen any
thing published from this locality for some
time, I fear you will incline to the opinion
that are either frozen or showed up. True,
we have had a great deal of snow, but at
the present time there is not much left, and
our miners are again enabled to prosecute
their mining operations. Our "oldest in
habitant" says the weather has been colder
here this winter, than he has ever before
experienced.
Times have been extremely dull with US,
as I am informed they have been all over
the State. However, we are now looking
forward to a very brisk and lucrative spring
trade. Provisions are plenty and cheap.
The Winners in these diggins are gener-
ally making large wages. Mr.. j. L. Tan
ner has struck new diggings near Sawyers
Bar. He is working with a rocker, and
makes from one to six ounces per day. In
one day he took from this claim 1000 90.
On the South Fork, Armstrong and
Lennon Wolgamot, with three hands, are
taking from SIG to s25 per day to
the hand. In the same locality, Messrs.
Hopping and ORGY are taking out 500
per day between the two.
In this letter l have nothing'of very spe-
cial Importance to write you. Should any
thing of interest transpire in this locality,
you may depend upon my sending you all
the facts.
Respectfully. ToopLEs.

A Cheering Sign.

The triumph of the Free-State men of
Kansas at the election just held in Leaven-
worth is a most significant and cheering in
cident. The leaning of L~eavenworth on
the great issue, unlike every other place
of any note in Eastern Kansas, was origin
ally, and till now has been doubtful, or at
least disputed. All acquainted with the
history of Kansas know that Kickapoo,
Doniphan, Atchison, Lecompton, with per
haps one or two other settlements of some
consequence, were Pro-Slavery in their orr
gin, while Lawrence, Topeka, Council City,
Wanbonsa, Osawatamie, and nearly every
other cluster of white mems habitations off
the Missouri line, originally were, and still
are Free State. Leavenworth alone has
been q sort of neutral ground, settled by
both parties, and inclining alternately to
either, though generally under Pro-Slavery
rule by reason of its immediate neighbor-
hood to several of the strongest nests OF
Border Ruffianism on the Missouri side
The way it was carried for Slavery in the
memorable legislative election of March
30th, 1855, is thus quietly and ~truthfully
narrated in the report of the Congressional
Investigating Committee.

How Gov, Walker is Going to
Pacify KanSas...An Entirely
. New Plan.

Hon. Robert J. Walker, instead of at
tending TO the serious and important post
to which he has been appointed, seems to
be trif1ing away his time in New York city,
in telling the school boys how he is going
to govern Kansas and in receiving adulato-
ry rhymes on his anticipated success. On
Tuesday last be visited No. IL, one of the
10th Ward Grammar Schools of New
York city. The Tribune reports as fol-
lows: -
The Governor made a brief speech, in
which he stated that he had attended Pub
lie Schools in his youth, and acted as tutor
during his College course, much to his W
advancement. He said it was his purpose
to establish a liberal and thorough organ
lied system of Free Schools in Kansas,
as one of the best means of securing the
pacifcation and prosperity of that distract
ed Territory.
Visiting the Girls Department, they
were received with music. These little ones
were put to their PAGES, winding up with
a march and yankee Doodle" the chorus
being whistled by the boys. This was too
much for the Governor, who in a speech
forthwith declared that be never saw
a finer sight; that its memory would
cling to him when he got to Kansas, where
he hoped to plant just such a noble system
as No II was a model specimen of.
This valiant carpet night, this ornamen-
tai Governor, talks as though be would be
Gear of Kansas, and that the establishment
of Free Schools, and everything else there,
not on the squatter sovereign's, but on his
sole will. He talks prettily, and brimfull
of theory, but men of practical sense can
not but begin to fear that another great
blunder has been made in selecting a
Governor of Kansas.-Cin. Gaz.

CULTIVATION OF PorAroEs.-In the
summer of 1856, l hit upon a plan Of cul-
tivating potatoes with as little labor as /
have seen recommended. The ground(the
sward having. been turned, manured and
planted with corn the year before) should
be plowed as o o as it is dry enough in
the spring, and if time permits allow the
weed seeds near the surface to terminate.
Then give it a thorough blowing again,
mark it with a pillow three feet apart each
way; drop n medium size potato in each
cross, covering with light mould about two
inches deep, the seed having been selected
carefully, using nothing smaller than q
hens egg, and twice as large, split in two,
none the worse; neither should they be
planted until the grotnd is dry, if it is in
May.
When they get out of the ground four
or six inches, take one horse, and a half
mold board plow; go through them both
ways, blowing wv burrows in q row as
close to the hill as practicable, turning the
burrows from it, and be not afraid to let the
pillow run in, as now is the time TO protect
the crop from the drought. At intervals
of about one week, stir the ground three
times with a small pillow, turning the dirt
towards the hills, kicking the dirt off with
the foot where it pushes the tops over too
much. The GROUND by this time il thor
oughly pulverized, and there will be no
weeds, except, perhaps, a few in the hill
which are speedily removed by the hand
taking two rows at. a time.-Gensss

were rather astounded on pre.en,;,o III,
certificates at the Auditor Of St.sa,a os;ca
to learn that all the money annronr;.tsJ
for the pay of Members, and for Leoisl.t;va
purposes, had been paid out, and that there
was no money left in the State Treasury to
meet their demands.
1t was the intention of the Legislature
to adjourn on Tuesday, and the Committee
on Finance made their estimates according
"; but the adjournment did not take place
until Saturday morning, and the commit-
tee in the hurry of business at the close of
the session forgot to increase the appropri-
alton, and the consequence is, that those
who did not present their claims until to-
wards the last, will be obliged to lay out
of their money until the meeting of the
next Legislature, unless they succeed in
some arrangement with the State
Treasurer Columbus Gazette.
