To Hold for Higher Prices.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Mr. ii. W.
Aver, secretary to President Polk OF
the farmers alliance and manager in
this city OF the reform press bureau,
which is also known as the alliance
press bureau, " said this afternoon that
the work of sending out circulars de-
signed TO show the farmers OF the
country that it was TO their advantage
to hold back the wheat crop, was ac-
lively proceeding in this city as we'll
as i'll st. Paul because OF its location in
the great wheat belt. Mr.. Aver said
that there have been 400, 900 OF these
circulars sent out from Washington
ana during the next few days an aver
age of 100, 600 d day will be mailed
until more than Il million OF the circu-
lars altogether are issued. The circu-
lars, ne said, will also be published in
about two thousand weekly papers
with which the bureau is connected.
lie remarked that he need not say
OF course that it was the circu-
lar which had brought about the re-
sun, DuG lc udu HOLlCtu III a. recent
market report that as d matter OF fact
the actual movement OF wheat was 40
q loads less than had been estimated.
Mr.. Aver said the information that the
issue of such q circulation by alliance
men was in contemplation became pub
lie prematurely about two weeks ago,
when a circular i'll course OF preDara-
ton was published in Il newspaper. y
final decision to issue the circular had
not 1T that time been made ana many
leading alliance men were unaware OF
it, but it has since been determined
on. He explained that the executive
committee OF the alliance had not acted
on this matter ana that by the circu-
lar no order was given to alliance men
10 hold back their crop, that being
contrary to the methods OF the ALI
ance. What is done by this circular
is TO give the farmers information as
10 facts in regard TO the worlds wheat
crop, with the suggestion that wheat
some weeks later than the present
time would bring q higher price.

not deep at this place, the water
only rising to the top Of the car
windows. Luckily someone
thought of the door and opened it.
The train hands soon came to
their rescue and soon had the
imprisoned persons on a place of
safety. Although every person in
the sleeper was more Or less
injured it was found that no one
was killed outright. 1t happened
that physician was on board and
he attended the injured. On the
train was a woman with two
children. One of them fell
through the window into the river.
The woman plunged heroically
into the river and saved the child.
The tram renamed at the place of
the accident twelve hours before
proceeding on its journey. We
were obliged to wait for the train
and to run so slowly over this
part of the road that we were
delayed two and one half hours.
There was more danger of a land
slide on our train than of the
track giving way. The rain had
loosened tons and tons of earth
and boulders which threatened to
come down at the least jar and
sweep everything before it into the
river. About $50 p. m. we saw
the first of the Rockies proper.
They were high peaks about 50
miles distant covered with snow.
1t took us about two hours to
reach the summit Of the first
mountain, and although there was
a hot fire in the car many of the
passengers were glad they brought
their overcoats along. There are
quite a number of "Ranchers"
living along here. You people
back there don't know how to
economic. Although land is so
plenty here and can be had for the
taking, the "Shacks" are built of
logs and rooted with natures own
material-dirt, and in several inst
ances there were patches of onions
or cabbage fourishing on the
house-tops. Here we went
through prairie-dog town, they
were all out of their holes standing
on their hind legs as straight as
a cob" watching the train with
evident delight. The rest of the
road we came over in the night SO
we didn't have a chance to see the
mountains we were climbing, some
of them 5000 to 5000 feet high.
We arrived at Butte at 4:25 a.
m. instead of 2 o'clock as we
would if the train had not been
delayed. We were met at the
depot, and of course the first thing
on the program was good long
sleep. Pleasant trip? You bet!
Next time | write I will tell you
something about Butte and the
mining industry.
