To the Editor of the Northern Pacific Farmer:

To the Editor Of the Northern Pacific Farmer:
A few days ago had the pleasure olsf1ooking
over the Clayton Manufacturing Company's works
here, and real pleasure it was, to find All enter
prise of such promising proportions in Wadena,
which no doubt will be great boon to this up
per country by supplying, as hear. long felt
want, and will no doubt be as profitable to the
,enterprising proprietors, as convenient to the
general public. found Superintendent Clayton
busy setting up a sample Brush Breaking plow,
a. he told me, for his men to work from, every
thing being made in duplicate: and must fairly
admit that have never met with plan that
comes, in my mind. so near perfection as this.
Their Prairie Breakers are also fine specimens of
form and workmanship I may say am no
novice in the brush and prairie business, and
say here as said to my friend who was with me,
that Il concern which can make such plows as we
have seen to-day, cannot fail to be grand sue
cess. Mr.. Clayton then pointed out to US the
company's new Engine Lathe, which seems to be
a magnificent tool and of large proportions and
as Mr.. Clayton said, capable of do1ngthe heaviest
kind of work; we saw some work done on this
Lathe equal to anything we ever saw. There are
other Lathes, Iron planners, Drill Presses Emery
Grinders, Power Punch and Shears, which punch
es holes in Iron Bar as though it was paper. "A
steam power Hammer which Mr.. Clayton inform
ed US made 800 blows per minute; this is used for
forging, plating plow lathes etc. We also found a
machine for bending Mould boards for plows etc,
with forms fitted in them, which bends every
Mould board and shear perfect There ii also a
Furnace for heating the work which is done rapid
IL and we'll. In the Blacksmith shop we found
the smiths busy at their fires which are blown
by Sturtevant steel pressure blower, and the
way the Iron is made hot must enable the men to
got away with the work very rapidly. From the
Black smith shop we went to the Foundry: here
we found the moulders busy moulding up work, as
Mr.. Clayton told us, for running gears
for plows and mill work. am comparative
stranger here, but it would seem to me that Wa
dana is highly favored by getting such an insti-
tuition started in her midst. There are great
many reasons for this assertion which, cannot
presume to enlarge upon, as 1 would not
trespass on your space but would cond ense as
much as possible, by simply saying we should
patronize home manufacture, use the material
that grows close to our doors, and not only keep
the money in the country. but draw money from
other parts of the country which are not SO high
~ favored. Yours. /.

Official inquiry mas now apparently
well established that one hundred thous-
and lives were lost by the recent earth
quake and volcanic eruptions in Java
History does not record an equally cal
amitous commission Of nature. The
earthquake Of Lisbon on November F.,
1855, caused the death of thirty thous-
and persons; and the great earthquake
that occurred in Sicily in 1893 killed just
double that number. Another formid
able earthquake was that of Riobamba
in 1877. which swallowed up fully forty
thousand human beings, and the NOR.
tality resulting from the two shocks in
Calabria in 1873 was exceedingly great
though there seems some doubt about
the exact figures. The most formidable
volcanic eruptlons alone, mentioned in
history, rs beyond all doubt the great
eruption OF Yes ,vius described by
PIinv. which buried Herculaneum and
Pc npeii under the layers Of ashes and
va which covered them for centuries.
The fact that the volcano and the earth
quake combined TO heap rum upon the
unfortunate people of Java, explains the
exceptional mortality caused by the
recent terrible visitations, which in de-
structive force aud intensity may be
compared to the violent cata -lysms that
So often labored the surface of this plan
ct in prehistoric times.

Fred S1ebhardt ana His Horse
EOIe

People have learned to think of Fred
| die Gebhardt as a brainless dude, saws
the Chica Tribune, but he is in some
! of the ordinary transactions OF life an as
tute and remarkably shrewd person.
This is particularly made apparent in his
connection with the turf. He is an en-
thusiastic attendant upon racing courses,
and owns in Eole one of .the best long
| distance race-horses in the country. if
not in the world Usually young men
with large fortunes who 90 on the turf
retire at the end Of few seasons in q
badly shattered condition financially.
Gebhardt has proved marked excep-
ton to the rule. Instead of being
skinned he has asslduously devoted
himself 10 the labor of removing cuti-
Gle from other people. Gebhardts latest
exploit occurred at the Monmouth Park
race-track recently. The circumstances
are these:
Some weeks ago Mr.. Pierre Lorillard's
horse Iroquois, that won the EPSON
Derby two years ago, was brought back
to this country from England race
was arranged at Monmouth Park. in
which were a number of entries, at five
hundred dollars each, including lroquois
and Eole. The race was won by horse
called George Kinney. Mr.. Lorillard,
smarting under defeat, at once proposed
TO run the race again on the first good
day. 1t was done. The Dryers OF
Brooklyn made two entries each, Kin
ney being one of them, and Mr.. Loril-
lard put in one thousand dollars on be-
half of Iroquols and Drake Carter, the
last named animal having been pur-
chased by him a few days previous for
seventeen thousand five hundred dollars.
Nobody expected any other entries, but
Mr.. Gebhardt came listlessly forward
and handed over five hundred dollars
to represent Eole. Most of the people
present smiled at the simple minded
young man, but he needed them not.
When the day of the race arrived Geb-
hardt's horse was scarcely noticed in the
betting. People were jumping over each
other in order to gamble on the chances
of Iroquois, Drake Carter, or Kinney,
but nobody wanted Eole-that is, ex-
cept simple Mr.. Gebhardt. He valiant
" backed his horse, now buying him
for two hundred dollars, in a pool of
two thousand dollars, and again betting
one against eight with the bookmakers.
The race began. There were shouts and
cheers when Kinney and Iroquois
began racing at each other. EOle
was not, apparently, III the struggle.
But about the time that Kinney had run
Iroquois to a stand-still, aad raced
alon lside of Drake Carter at pace that
made that highpriced creature feel SICK
at heart, the unassuming EoIe began to
loom up very prominently in the hori-
zon. He cantered gayly past Iroquois
and Monitor, whisked by Drake Carter
as if the latter had been tied to the
fence, and then, in the exubeTance OF
his old age, dashed ahead of George
Kenney and won the great race in a
canter by four lengths, landing the
stakes of seven thousand dollars and
about fifty thousand dollars in bets for
the young man with the high collar, the
tight pants, and the tooth-pick shoes.
