An OLD TRAPPER.

Forty Years AgO.
A. Boone, ofDenver, Colorado, who
is now in Washington, writes to the
Graphic as follows, under date of Janu-
airy 8: Having just returned with the
commission to negotiate with the Sioux,
of which l was a member, was informed
that in late issueof rpaperyOu pub
ished a sketch of General B. L. E. Bon
neville, in which some errors have Crept
which I would like to correct without
detracting from the well established
fame of the general. The public seem
to think that Bonneville and Fremont
and Marcy were the first explorers of
the sections of which they give such
graphic descriptions, but in this they are
in error, as most of the country was
hunted, trapped and prospected years
before they set about their scientific ex-
pIoration. Captain bonneville received
furIough in 1882 and explored the west
for four years.
In 1925 I accompanied General w. H.
Ashley, of St. Louis, with a party of one
hundred trappers, to the Rocky noun
tains. Ashley took out party of men
in 1928, at which time 1 was among the
Osages in charge of the trading outfit of
Messrs. Paul BayIiss & Co., Of St. Louis.
He left his party near the great Salt
Lake, under Jackson and Sublett, and
took out our party to reinforce them.
We found on Bear river that the Indians
had attacked and dispersed the first
party, and the survivors were scattered
through the mountains. The trappers of
our party, and others who were in the
country, trapped all along the noun
tains from the British possession into
Mexico. Our principal competitors in
those days were the free trappers of the
British northwestern fur company, who
ranged all over west Of the mountains,
and had taken out 100000 beavers be-
fore Ashley's first party went to work.
When Ashley returned to St. Louis in
1925 he left the party Of about ninety
five men camped on Bear river (now in
Utah), in charge Of Colonel Robert Camp
bell, now one of the wealthiest men of
St. Louis.
In 1925 the most western military post
was Fort Usage, in Jackson county, No., |
and the wilderness stretched from there
westward. The indians in those days
were armed with stone hatchets and
lances, and bheiT arrows fint-tipped. 1t
was only amusement to fight them, and
few trapper3 went fearlessIy anywhere. I
we'll remember one incident of that my
first trip. ASwe were travelling along the
Platte river uplands one day we diScOv-
cred in the distance large number of
Indians, and those Of us who had not made
the trip to the mountains before were ex-
cited in anticipation ola brush, when the
Indians suddenly DISAPPEARED. The plain
stretched in full view before US, and we
could have seen them go off in any direc-
ton. No~ can imagine our wonder, and
the jokes put ut us by the older trappPrs,
who tiled to make us believe we had seen
Il miragc, common on those plains, But
a short time brought us to the under
ground village Of the Pawnees, where
they lived in subterrancan rooms, like
the prairie dogs. These rooms were

NEW YORK CITY.
The Western Union telegraph
Company.

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, October II AT a meeting
Of the Western Union, yesterday, Presi-
dent Orton submitted his annual report.
The capital stock OF the Company is
SAL, ,073,4l0. The gross earnings for the
year were SO 612,352 Al, and gross ex-
penses $6 672 224 "a. leaving as net profits
50, l4O, 127 Ct. Az the close OF the year
ending June 80, 1877, there were in ope-
ration seventy-six thousand nine huns
dred aud fIty-fve miles OF line, and
seven thousand five hundred offices.
President Otton says the past year
has been remarkable, as showing the
largest increase in the traffic which has
occurred during similar period of time
since the Company was organized. The
increase in the number of messages
transmitted, as compared with the pre-
Vlous year, being nearly two and half
millions or about 13 per cent. The de-
crease OF 7 3-10 cents, or l4.3 per cent, in
the average tolls collected upon each
message, and the increase of 1919 per
cent. in the number OF messages trans
mitted has resulted in decrease OF
$3.50, 1882 20 in the net profits of the Com
pany, IS compared with last year.
President Otton refers to the conclu-
sion of arrangements between the West
ern Union and Atlantic & Pacific [ ON.
panies Tor pooling the gross receipts,
and TO purchase by the Western Union

five hundred and two shares OF A. p,

ments are fully consummated common n
interest will govern the management of
both Q mpanies, and it is expected that
all the substantial benefits of an actual
consolidation will accrue with the ces-
satiun of the wasteful competition which
has existed for several years past. 1t
VIII then be practicable to arrange a
system of tolls throughout the country
which, While more II lmunerative to the
country, will also be more advantageous
TO the public, because the reduction will !
be more widely distributed. We shall
also be enabled to reduce expenses very
