The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-08-13

arrived in Portland yesterday and is the
guest of Judge Putnam at his home on
State street. Judge Lamar is one of the
most distinguished as well as one Of the
last survivors of the old-time statesmen
of the South. He entered Congress from
Mississippi in 1857, and thus the period
of his public service covers the most
memorable years of our national history.
He has always differed radically from
the views of us New Englanders, but his
bitterest enemies have always conceded
him to be man of ability and indepen-
dence. In the House Of Representatives
before the war he was one of the most
active Of the pro-slavery leaders; and in
the memorable free fight on the floor of
the House of Representatives, when the
pent-up passions of the North and South
burst all bounds, Lamar and Barksdale
of Mississippi led the scrimmage on one
side, while the stalwart Potter of wood
sy, Wisconsin," and two of the Wash
burns led on the other side. Potter,
whose name was John f., was a native
of Augusta, Me-, and the Washburns be-
longed to the famous Maine family.
London Punch had a very funny poem
on this affray, which may be found in
collections of famous poems. Potter was
terror to the fellows from the planta-
lions. Once Roger A. Pryor of Virginia
challenged him to duel. Potter ac-
cepted and, as was his right under the
code, named the weapons-bowie knives
at arms length. The idea of such a
duel appalled, Pryor, who backed out
with the excuse that the bowie knife
was barbarous weapon Potter be-
came known as 'sBowie Knife Potter"
But to return to Lamar. History does
not record that in this sowing of a
statesman's wild oats on the floor of the
House Mr.. Lamar attempted at any
time to strike below the belt; and the
probability is that he made good
square fight with the square fighters
against him just as he has taken decided
position on public questions since. He
went into the war; but his health failing
was sent in 1863 as Confederate commits
sioner to Russia. He found it hard to
spin much thread there and came home.
After the war he became a college pro-
fessor in Mississippi. In 1872 he was
sent to the National House again and in
1877 to the United States Senate. In 1885
he became Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of
the Interior, and later was given place
on the Supreme bench.
Mr.. Lamar has shown himself a man
of good deal of independence. AT one
time while Senator the Legislature of
Mississippi Instructed him to vote for
soft money. He was hard money man
and refused; went before the people and
was sustained.
He belongs to an able family. His
fathers brother was President of the Re-
public Of Texas. One funny streak runs
through the family. The children were
given the most astonishing names. An
eccentric great uncle, about hundred
years ago, claimed the naming of Justice
Lamar father and uncle, one of whom
received the name Lucius Quintus Gin
cinnatus, and the other 1.-THE future Pres
ident of Texas Airabeau Buonaparte
Lamar The first L. @. c. got even with
fate by naming his son L. @. G. also.

Forgot the SkyIight.

A well known merchant of this city,
whose family is summeri2g in the coun-
try, when he saw the prospect Thursday
of heavy shower coming, hired hack
and drove with all speed to the town res
idence. Here he closed all the windows,
as he supposed, carefully and drove
down town again. When he returned
home, later in the evening, he found the
upper rooms, corridors and stairways
dripping with water. He had forgotten
to close the skylight.

Ran On Spring Point.

The schooner Annie Currier, lumber
laden, misstayed and ran on Spring Point
ledge yesterday morning. She was
bound from ST. John to Boston. She
was on the rocks some time, but was got
off at high tide by the tug Demorest and
taken to Cape Elizabeth shore and
beached. She will probably be repaired.

In Bluffs City to-day and reported q terri

George Ferguson. an old prospector, and
James Cody, known 40 Blind Jim, one OF
the best known characters in Arizona and
New Mexico mining campo, are among the
slain. A private dispatch from Dolores
this evening confirms the terrible repors.
Ihe trouble grew out OF a dispute over GER
tain claims which had been staked out. The
direct cAuse was the discovery OF large mug
gets in the bottom of a small stream. Up to
the time Of finding the nuggets everything
was all right, but the sight OF gold to the
miners acted like a red rag on a bull. Each
man claimed he had first located the claim
and to settle the disputes guns were broughs

He was Constellation MS.

An amusing incident occurred tine Other
day on the Ntchburg railroad, says the
Albany Express. The west-bound express
in oharQe of Isaac Sargent, had pulled out
OF Athol, and as the conductor passed
through the train he found among the pas
sengers who had boarded IL at the last stop.
ping place a young man respectfully dressed
and appearing to be possessed of ordinary
intelligence. but whose actions indicated
that his experience in railroad travel had
been very limited. Az the conductor halted
for the young mans fare the latter
handed up q ticket good for pass
age from Athol to Miller's Falls, and with
ii one cent. The conductor, half suspicious
that a practical joke was about to be
sprung, looked at the young man and
asked: what is this cent for?" II see,'
said the passenger. in sober earnestness,. iii
says on the ticket, Not good unless
stamped,' and as l do not happen to have
q stamp with me / give you the cent and
you can put it on" The young mans man
net convinced Sargent that the passenger
was not joking, SO the ~good-natured con-
duotor. with no sign of merrimcnt. handed
back the coin, remarking that it was a
small matter and he would FIX it all right.

THE FLATHEAD VALLEY.

The Flathead valley, ten years ago an
savage and wild beast, to-day is the
most Productive section of the north.

put OF Kansas, Iowa CT the Dakotas.
and is the only section west of the Miss.
issippi river which can rival the cale.
bia ell Red River Valley of the North in
the superior quality of it's cereals. 1t is
the only agricultural section in the state
OF Montana, where crops can be raised
without irrigation. Vegetables Of all
kinds are grown in abundance, while
apples, plums, peaches, cherries, pears,
and the small fruits such as strawber.
ries, blackberries, goosebe, rles, raspber-
ries are being raised successfully. With
a ready market for all products of the
soil in the rich mineral di- tricts to the
east, west aud south, the farmers Of thu
Flathead valley will soon be classsd
among the wealthiest and most intiuen-
tail of this new countr1. Wheat averages
thirty-f five bushels per acre, oats sixty
bushels, barley forty bushels, rye thirty
bushels, potatoes 400 bushs.s, cabbage
ten tons per acre, rutabagas thir y tons
per acre.
The Flathead river, with its tribu.
taries-the North, South and Middle
forks-the Saltwater and Whitefsh
rivers, with their mero br anches,
making a total of over coo miles OF log
ging streams, all of which converge at
Kalispell, flow through vast forests OF
pine, tamarack, fir, larch and cedar.
Under the recent law enacted by con
gress these bonndless tracts of timber
land can be purchased at $3.50 per acre.
According to the state auditors report,
of the 1O3, 8 1888 feet OF lumber sawed
