OId-Time Letter writing.

lNtW 1Orh 1TlDuue.I
1t is a common but unjust complaint that
cheap postage killed the art Of letter writing.
In the last century the dispatch of an epistle
was an affair of some moment. The expense
of the post was not to be incurred without
considerations; and since it was the receiver
of the missive who had to pay for it, every
gentleman who valued his reputation was
anxious that his friends should find his cor
r~espondence worth the money. The knack of
composing an elegant and entertaining letter
was one of the first accomplishments de-
manded Of a man Of wit and culture. The
broad pages upon which he expended his
pains took the place, in some degree, which
has since been filed by the newspaper and
tho magazine; every letter-writer tried
to DO an essayist, a chronicler Of
politics and business, a critic, a gossip.
Hundreds OF volumes of private correspon-
dence have been collected and printed in our
time, which rnnk with the most valuable
materials for history and the most entertain
ing illustrations OF the tastes, opinions and
manners Of past generations; and no incon-
siderable part of them possess besides a posi-
tive literary quality. 1t is true that as soon
as we go back to the fashionable era of letter
writing, to the time OF Wnlpole and Pope,
we find ourselves in the midst of insincerity
and %artifice; but these were characteristics Of
the society of that day, and the letters would
not be priced so highly as they are II they
were not faithful reflections of the life from
which they came.

The burned regions of Michigan lave been
visited by a correspondent of The Detroit
Free Press He says; every half mile
brings to view, as you sail on the Au Sable,
an open space in tho forests many acres in
extent There are thick blackened tree
trunks on the ground, protruding in all di-
rections from their shroud of green under
brush. A more impressive spectacle are the
dead pine trees still standing in these open
areas, black around the roots, and reaching
rs straight as a dart a hundred feet in the
the air. These arc the gaunt skeletons Of
what once were splendid living pines, now
killed by the forest fires that periodically
sweep through the Michigan woodlands dur
ing drought Not far below the mouth Of
the Au Sable, and on the other side OF Sagi-
nav bay, is the region where the deadly fires,
two years ago, devastated the woodlands,
destroying hundreds Of lives and millions OF
DfoLerty.

CAREER OF AN OREGON PIONEER.
-Buckskin JIM Gets Tired of New
York in Twenty-Four Hours
fN.,. VOL, T;r,as

A@Nf
One Of the most remarkable Of the III mem.
bers of the Oregon Pioneer association. Of
Portland, Oregon, who arrived in this city
from the west on Thursday night, and who are
domiciled ut the st Nicholas hotel, is Buck
skin jim" an old western settler and trapper
of the Misunderstanding school, who derives
his nickname from a costume which he usually
wears, made Of dressed buckskin in the real
Indian style so familiar to the readers Of dime
novel literature. "Buckskin Jim'sn real name
Is James Hearn. He is over 20 years Of age,
well-to-do in tho world, and few men are bet
ter or more favorably known on the Pacific
slope. His story, Gs told to a reporter last
night, had best be given in his own words:
II ran away from my home in England, n
said he, "when l was IS years of age, and
sailed for tho Pacific coast. Tho brig / went
in was wrecked on the coast south Of San
Francisco, and the few who were saved, in.

dians, who treated us well. 1 staid among

1889, l think, l was taken by a party of Santa
Annals soldiers, who had orders to arrest
every white man that could be found. We
were marched thence to Tepee on foot, and
put in double irons. We were con-
fined without the slightest pretext
in n loathsome Jail, and suffered
greatly during the six months we spent there,
in irons and prosecuted by vermin. The
British consul said that II every one OF us
would declare himself an Englishman he
would hberato us at once. One of our party,
the celebrated Yankee JIM declined at first,
and said that nothing would induce him to
declare himself a Britisher, but he came
around and we all were liberated. Mr..
Saunders preferred a claim against the
Mexican Qoyernment for damapeS and he

Cutting n SHAFT Under Difficulties.
TChiropn Herald

The work OF cutting a perpendicular shaft
from the 1900 level of the Mexican mine In
Nevada to > 200 level is very difficult and
dangerous The rock is bitterly hard and it
does not blast well. With nll thisa perfect
torrent of hot water is constantly pouring
down upon the men. 1t is difficult to con.
ceive how they can work at all in such q
place. They must so principally by the
sense of toucb-must feel their way like blind
men. Not only is 1t impossible for the miners
to look up, but such is the force OF the pour
ing cascades Of water that they cannot climb
the ladders without danger of being beaten
oil. and it has been found necessary TO rig a
hosting apparatus by which to hoist the men
up TO their work.

The Boat Race.

WATKINS. N. Y, Aug 15-In the first
trial heat of the professional beat race
Wallace, Ross, Plaisted, Griffin, Lee and
Courtney, they started at l0:46 a. m. in
tho order named. Ross took the water
first and got fine lead, Plaisted second,
Lee third, Courtney fourth, Griffin fifth.
Courtney drew up to third very easily and
in fine style with steady stroke was soon
contestlng for second position IN mile
and half straight away heat, but Lee
steered for the outside and almost across
Courtney's course so that at the half mile
they a.ad almost locked oars and Court
ney VIRTUALLY ceased 10 exert himself.
They rowed al~ aide by side thus for
nearly mile before Lee would take his
own course. At one time 1t appeared
as If Lee would get the lead but if he
held it momcntarily it was not longer for
Ross won in 1912 by half length, Lee
second and Courtney third. The crowd
howled In disappointment as 1t was ev;
dent this would shut Courtney out Of the
second trial heat and SO out of any con-
test with Hanlan. 1t wenld have looked
like clear put up job if Courtney had
not claimed second place on account OF
Lees approximate foul. 1t is not decided
yet by the referee and judges whether to
allow the foul so far as learned but prob
ably will not. Interest in the regetta
ceases IN that event

COUNTY clerk L. b. Miner yesterday
received . statement frsn tho Northern
Pacific railroad company Of lands cold
which report by the new law should have
been sent in by the first Of April. The
amount was 1881 900 more than was as
Os1tainablc from the records. and on &C.
count Of this delay the report Of the as
sessment sent in to the territorial board
now In session at Bismarck was that
much short. The assessment of the
above lands was equxlized yesterday by
the county board and forwarded last night
to Bisnarck, but may be too late, and if
% the question Is whether the county
will bs required to put up theterr,tsrial tax
on that amount or net. If the railroad cem-
pany had complied with the new law
exempting its lands from taxation this
difficulty would not have occurred. As the
railroad company had nothing to lose by
the delay they seemed indifferent as to
how much loss or inconvenience 1t might
occasion others. The county clerk and
t6mmissioners have done all in their
power to right the matter, and if it is too
late the blame will be with the railroad
company which held back the report
presumably in grst,tude(?) for ihc legis-
lation that exempted then from taxation.

WE notice from an interview published
in the Pioneer Press that ex-Dclcgatc
Pettigrew has tempered down somewhat
IN his extreme states rights views. lie
says they will form a constitution and
ask congress to admit their proposed
state into the Union, but he has little
hopes Of success until after the presden-
t,al election. He also gave 1t as his opin-
ion that state officers would not be elect
ed until after their state was admitted.
He was not in favor of taking action that
would interfere with the principal object
in view, which was division of the terri
tory on the 46th parallel, and he thought
that was the sentiment of a majority OF
the people of Southern Dakota. The
Alert is glad to see that Mr.. Pettigrew
has come back into the Union and be-
come subject to the government Of the
United States before the army and navy
were called into requistion to suppress
him. The Alert has been laboring for
some time to show him the error Of his
way and we are glad to see that the labor
has not been in vain. 1t is always ssfe to
be right. Hon. Hugh j. Campbell seems
to have subsidized as he is not quoted any
more by even the papers inside the lines
of his ''southern confederacy." We hope
the Sioux Falls constitutional convention
will contne itself to a legitimate object
and"peaceably assembly together and pc
tition the government for a redress OF
grievances" in which they will have no
opposition from North Dakota.

SOME of our exchanges are exposing a
swlndlng scheme which is being worked
extensively on the unwary settlers in
some parts of this territory, and to te
prepared to receive these scoundrels in a
proper manner at any time every clam
ant should wear copper toed heavy stoga
boots and keep his joints well ollcd. The
plan Of these bilks IS to go TO the CLAIM
holder, represent that they have discov-
cred omissions that will prevent hlm
from proving up and propose to the
claimant that if he will pay $50 to 800
they will not trouble him. AS there are
but few claimants who do not leave loop
holes in the process of preparation to
prove up that might be taken advantage
of to his annoyance, if not loss of his
claim, this plan uf swlndling and black
mailing has been worked profitably. If
q man really desires or intends to contest
your CLAIM you may bc sure that instead
of advising you Of the fact he Will file
his contest in the land office and let you
find it out in that way. A man who will
come to you beforehand and apprisc you
of such an >Rtention may he set down las
a blackmaler and 4 swindlcr and if you
have no conscientious scruples about
forms of expression You should invite
h,,n to 60 to the devil ,and if he stands on
The order of his going encourage him to
move on by horizontal agitation Of your
stoga boot. We have not heard of any
of these bilks in this vicinity yet but
they are liable to appear any day and
when they do we desire to have our
readers and all claim holders posted so as
to be prepared to give them awarm re-
ceptlOu.
