Death Of Fred. A. Young.

When on Tuesday evening last a dis
patch from San Francisco announced
that Fred Young was dead, the shock
upon the sensibities of this entire com
"unlfy was as intense and wide spread
as though it were great personal cal
amity affecting every person in the town.
He was emphati.ally Seattle boy: he
had grown up here fiom childhood to
ripe manhood and was personally known
to nearly every man, woman and child
in the city and surrounding country, in
cludlng nearly every settlement upon
Puget Sound; and all who knew hlm felt
warn personal interest in him. If he
had an enemy on earth 1t was never pub
llcly known. He was possessed of rare
social qualities tor winning the conf
dence and respect of his associates. Gen
efous, kindly and scrupulous.y rcgardful
of the rights and feelings of others. it he
gave offense to any it was manifestly
without malicious intent. We knew him
well aud never heard of his having dis
agreement or wrangle with anvonc; and
yet, with these amiablc qualities there
was no lack of spirit or enterprise. His
early taking off will cause a sad void in
the social circles in which he was always
Il favorite.
Fred. A. Young was the oldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Young, who are
among our most respected citizens. He
was born at Meddybemps, Maine, on the
23rd day of December, 1850, and came
with his parents to Puget Sound in 1860
when he was ten years OF age. He &C
quired his education at the University IN
this city and entered the store of Stone
& Burnett, as clerk, when he was 10
years old. About six years ago he en-
tered into partnership with w. II. Pun
phrey, OF this city. under the firm
name of Pumphrey & Young, In 1875
he sold out his interest in that business
to his partner and Joined MesSrs. Boyd
and Poncin in establishing the present
popular diy-goods house OF Boyd, Pom
Gin & Young all three young men of
sterling integrity and good business haI'-
its. About week before his death,
willie suffering from a slight indisposi
ton, he started for San Francisco for the
benefit of his health and needed lelaxa-
tion from business, 0n Thursday, the
9th inst, he p1rtook of u thanksgiving
dinner at the house OF 4 friend, in appar-
ent usual health, and on the following
Monday he died, under what immediate
circumstances we are not informed. His
remains will be brought to this city tor
intcrment. The surviving members OF
his family are father, mother and three
younger brothers.

Our ExPORTs.-The Wall. Walla
country have this year shipped about u.s.
900 tons of wheat Ali tins vast amount,
before it reaches salt water has to be car
ried "a miles out OF the direct route, and
must necessarily be handled eight or nine
times before it can be placed on board
ship. The Portland papers are continu-
ally harping on the string that Portland
Is port for any vessel drawing 1S feet
of water. Recently Portland ship had
to unload 500 tons of wheat, which cost
Walla Walla shipper alone $500 for
the unnecessary handling. This wheat
was then placed on barges to be towed
to Astoria, where the Portland vessel
again received it. With direct communi-
cation to Astoria our farmers would gain
from p to cents more per GENITAL than
they do in the present state of affairs

account of the illness of his father-in-

hopeful news to our citizens who have
suffered so long from hope deferred.

THE SKAGIT GOLD MINEs.-In con-
versation with an intelligent miner who
has had many years experience IN the
mines OF California and British Colum-
b a, he said positively that the promise
o the Skagit mines, SO far as prospected,
is better than any ne had ever seen be-
tore. He has no doubt of their wonder
full richness and large extent, and b.
lieves there will be 5000 people there by
the 1st OF June next The altitude u
the mines is not as great as IN some #
the inhabited portions of Northeastern
Washington and British Columbia, and
hence there is no reason why work in
the mines cannot lie carried ON through
out the winter. Several parties are get
ting their supplies here now with the in
tentiOn of wintering in the mines. Mr..
Martin, one of the owners of the steamer
Cassiar, which ran On the Siickcen River
last season, after visiting these mines,
has determined to put his steamer on
the route between Seattle and Skagit.
Seattle can now secure nearly the entire
trade OF those mines, amounting perhaps
to millions annualIy-by the expendi-
ture of three or four thousand dollars in
the improvement of the trai! between
the Skagit and Ruby rivers, otherwise
we will have to divide the traffic and
travel with the British, who are making
a trail to the diggings from Fort Hope.

FAIRMONT.

FA1RMoNT, Martin County, Mimi, July 20.
The question of paramount Importance in
this section of the State at present is the
crops, and their condition may be summed
up as follows: Wheat has recuperated won.
derfully during the past few days of cool
weather, and bids fair to give an average
yield. It is somewhat rusted, but is so near
" ripe now that no further damage from
that source is apprehended. A reliable
farmer to-day informed me that he believed
the average yield throughout the country
would not be less than fifteen or seventeen
bushels to the acre. I also heard one of the
leading officials of the Southern Minnesota
railway state, the other day, that crops GEN
orally presented the best and most healthy
appearance in Martin county of any county
on that line of railroad. Oats are fairly
"booming,' while corn never presented q
more healthy and promising growth.
Our line and costly new hotel has recently
been opened, with Col. j. 81. Ray, an old
and experienced landlord, as proprietor 1t
has been christened sOccidental,'' aud is
furnished throughout in an elegant manner.
1t is without doubt one of the finest public
houses in Southern Minnesota.
Anderson & Co.'S circus and menaperie
showed in this place last Saturday. It Is a
good show and was we'll patronized, the re-
ceipts of the two performances amounting
to between $500 and $500.
Paramount is growing and prospecting. A
large number of pleasure-seekers are being
attracted to the place by our handsome
chain of lakes and une1celled sporting at
fractions.
About $1,000 acres of railroad and ode
ticiency'' land have been broken up in the
county this season, and there is sure to be a
big rush of new settlers to this section this
fall. Let them come. There is room for
them and plenty of ways to earn good,
honest living.

business and substituting greenbacks for
their notes of issue. He is confident that on
this theory the Democratic party can sweep
the country.
The currency question, however, he does
not regard as Of the first Importance. The
main question is that of the purity Of the
ballot box and the.use Of troops, supervisors
and marshals at the polls. He is confident
that the people will be found on the side Of
Democracy. Tho Entertainments of the fed
eral power have begun to excite alarm even
among the most conservative of the people,
and they demand that the last vestige of
these oppressive and undemocratic laws be
wiped from the statute books. The pending
investigation of the manner in which these
laws we're enforced in New York has done
much to awaken an interest in the subject
and to enlighten the people as to the manner
in which the power that the law gives can be
abused.
On the Presidential question Mr.. Sayler
was also communicative. He has spent
some little time recently at the East and
South, and being close unprejudiced OBJ
server, his conclusions are of value. He
finds that the Tilden sentiment at the East
is almost universal, while at the South he is
very strong. He predicts that he will be
the nomi"e- of the party, though Thurman
and Hendricks will strongly antagonize him
at the West, while Hancock may develop
into very strong candidate. OF one thing
he is certain-that notwithstanding the op-
position of Tammany, Tilden will be able to
control the delegation of the entire State of
New York in the next convention, and that
he will 60 out of the State with larger ma
jority than he received in 1876. Everywhere
Mr.. Sayler finds evidences of the continued
spread of Democratic principles, and he is
sanguine of the complete success of the
party in the Presidential election of next
year. The same signs are visible even to
the least observant person in the country.
There is every prospect of the thorough re,
demption of the country from the evils OF
Republican misrule. All that is required is
united, energetic action on the part of all
lovers of good government.

Mysterious Disappearance Of Boy.

=
For several days past Mr.. Buck and fami-
~, residing at No. SO Carroll street, have
been almost distracted at the sudden and
mysterious disappearance of their son and
brother, Fred L. Buck, who left home about
two weeks ago, since when no tidings have
been learned of his whereabouts. The lad
is about twelve years of age, and is described
as an exceedingly bright and sober boy, and
no plausible reason is assigned for his un-
looked for disappearance and prolonged alb
ssence. asiis
TWAS at first supposed that he had gone to
Saltwater or Rochester, the family's former
place of residence, but a visit to those places
by Mr.. Buck failed to elicit any information
of his whereabouts. Every possible means
have been employed to learn his fate, but up
to date all efforts have been unavailing, and
it is now feared that he may have been foul
~ dealt with, as he was boy of correct hab-
its and always amenable to parental author
ity, and it is thought that he would not be
guilty of an escapade like the present with
out the consent of his parents.

sAYLER ON THE SITUATION.

For some time past the Ohio idea has had
a rest, and we had begun to think it had
been permanently retired from politics. We
were mistaken, however, for the resurrection
lists have got to work and threaten the coun-
try with it again. The idea is not bad
one, however, and will probably do no great
harm if it is kept within proper bounds.
Mr.. Bayard, previous to his departure for
Europe, was the first of recent date to refer
to it, but he did SO at the solicitation of a
reporter. Mr.. Milton Sayler has come out
in long interview in Cincinnati paper, in
which he holds to the fact that the Ohio idea
is still live and formidable issue, destined
to create good deal of interest in the pub
lie mind. He adheres with emphasis to the
policy Of forcing the national banks from

AVERY pleasant little event occurred at
the old market house, yesterday forenoon.
Aid. Allen, with few citizens, met to begin
the work of demolition and the matter was
handsomely inaugurated. Aid. Allen took
out brick for the historical society, and
sCity Attorney Murray favored the assembly
with brief but interesting sketch Of the old
market. It was appropriate that Col. Allen
should commence the work Of demolition.
The new market will be his monument, for
without his persistent efforts the project
would have long since been defeated. The
citizens of st. Paul owe Col. Allen debt of
gratitude for pushing the new market house,
and the obligation will not be forgotten.
