Special CnrrespondenceUr Gazette and journal
BFtpGEvILLE, June S.-This week will
about end the strawberry season, not so
much by reason of the exhaustion of the
crop as by he-tuwness of prices in the city
markets. Numerous sales were reported
Tuesday at and cents. The berry crop
has not been so very profitable to the
growers, as the first week the incessant
rains made the berries very dirty and un
slightly. Then came the warm, sultry
weather OF the past week, and an over
stocked market. The "non-returnable"
crate has been great loss to the berry
growers this year, as number have lost
from 70 to 100 of the standard crates,
which represent an outlay of $40 to so.
This is a dead loss 10 the shipper, as while
the crates have gone there has been no in
crease in the price of berries over those
who have had their crates furnished by
commission merchants at no cost. The
only consideration was that the fruit
be consigned to the commission
merchants who furnished the crate.
While that method is fair
enough, all commission merchants will
not furnish crates to shippers and when
the standard" crates are consigned to
them they are never returned. Accord
ing to the statement Of one comm lSsion
merchant he demands % cents more than
the price of the berries for the crate
which should 20 TO the grower. but so far
there has not been a single instance where
the grower received the extra charge,
which went to the merchant. SO it looks
as though this non-retilrnable crate bust
ness was Il money making scheme for the
| commission merchant. The growers in
this locality will in all probability take
some action in the matter before the
blackberry season, and ship only to the
merchants who will return the crate or re-
init with the fruit returns some money
| consideration for the crate, as the loss of
il, about TO cents, is what the growers
counts AS the profit on the berries.

An Army of Tramps.

A Tehama, Cal, dispatch says:
There is q %jailful Of tramps on the way
to San Francisco. They promise to
give the police Of the metropolis a lively
time if they reach there. This morn
ing III Of the most desperate looking
fellows that have been seen in this
section Of the country passed through
here on their way to the city. The
train officials said they were powerless
to act, and had advised the railroad
officials in San Francisco OF the facts.
The reply came TO give the train to the
tramps and run it south. 1t is sup
posed that they ate on their way to
San Francisco.
1t has been learned that the tramps
hail from Oregon, where they have
been committing many depredations.
At Ashland they forced the citizens to
give them food, and looted Chinatown,
getting away with $500.
It is thought that before many hours
have elapsed they will be captured at
some town. The story has reached
here that the railroad company is anx-
ious to run them into San Francisco,
where the authorities will be prepared
for their arrest.

Alex Penrod writes the Elko Inde-
pendent from Island Mountain that he
has just returned from the Young
America Mining District in the Bru-
neau country and gives the following
account OF what he saw:
"Some very rich prospects have
been struck by the miners out there.
There are some TWENTY-FIVE claims al
ready located which show up coarse
gold in paying quantities. Water is
very plentiful. About 500 inches run
down the Bruneau river with a big
fall.
al was shown a bank OF gravel over
$50 feet high which showed a fatter-
ing prospect on top and that the gold
must be very coarse On bedrock. A
boulder weighing about 25 pounds,
found by Joseph Lang shows gold all
over it. The miners working with
pick and shovel average about 81 70
per hour to the man. AS soon as pipe
and machinery are brought in, which
will be soon, with plenty Of water and
a big fall. Young America Mining
District will surely become q big gold
producer.

Should you happen TO see a girl
walking along the street with her face
wreathed in placid smiles, don't take
1t for granted that she feels perfectly
coniented and happy. For the truth
is that-she Ray be having q nerve
destroying argument with herself as to
whether her skirt and waist meet prop
erly in the back.
She may have a tiny hole in her
shoe and be perfectly wretched over
the thought Of getting her silk stock
ing soiled.
She may be on the verge Of insanity
because she knows that the n pin
with which she fastened her skirt is
going to give way.
She may be conscious OF big chunk
Of SCOT that has found Judgment on the
end Of her nose.
She may remember that there is but
one hairpin in her hair, and that il
would be just her luck il it were all to
tumble down.
She may hear a little snap and may
know that her garter has broken.
That, however, is simply too horrible
for words.-N. Y. Advertiser.

A Ne,shborIy CompIimens.

The Logan, Utah Nation, in discuss
ing the proposition to annex Utah to
Nevada, has the following kind words
for this State:
$50 far as annexation goes, We are
satisfied there is no probability Of it.
Nevada people do not want to be an
nexed to Utah and Utah does not want
Nevada annexed to her, SO we think
that should settle the matter. The
sentiments expressed by Nevada pa
pers are worthy mes and must receive
the deepest respect of all.
"Our sister State is inhabited by a
progressive and truly Western set Of
people who are able and willing to
take care OF themselves, and their, at
present, heavily encountered State,
but in time they will come out all
right, as they are a set Of people who
are possessed of an unusual amount Of
stick-to-itiveness and know no such
word as fall"

Value Of Honcstx.

There is no compensation for lack or
loss Of honor. / have seen IL tried
again and again. There is no substi-
tuts for it. Whoever sells q fraction
Of it for wealth or preferment begins
to inherently degenerate. The end is
death. Can you measure or weigh
that word when applied to the soul?
Honesty, simple honesty, is the best
policy when dealing with ourselves,
with our children, with our neighbors,
or with things. 1 remember that the
physician in charge Of n of the
largest asylums for the insane said q
few years ago in his annual report;
Above all things deal honestly with
the insane. Do not on any account
undertake to deceive them. A liar can
only work mischief with q diseased
mind. The truth may be hard enough
fer them to bear, but q falsehood is
cruelty. They need trust and conf
dence. Faith in others is healing"
I think this ia a universal law. Be
honest, especially to the young and
weak.-Mary E. Spencer in st. Louis

the incident OF the fire on O'Neil Ave-
nue. last Sunday afternoon. The wind
was blowing fercely from the south.
and it was probably the prompt and
cool action OF Mrs. F. ]. Schneider
that saved her residence and others
adjoining. The fire was found to DO
in some hay at the rear Of s. p. Peter

great smoke. Mrs. Schneider got out

ance of Mrs. Batchelder and another

fire until assistance came. Fortunately
the damage was small, but the scare

The Chronicle says it is enough to
make an unemployed Virginia miner
weep to read Of the careless way in
which the late Senator Stanford han
died money. The appraisers Of his
estate have found hundreds OF thous-
ands Of dollars slowed away in odd
places, which he had forgotten. Dur
ing his life Stanford had a drawer
ghere he placed checks in his favor as
he received them, and from where he
never took them. A fortune in I'M
cashed checks has been found in this
drawer by the appraisers. A Virginia
City nan sent him q check for $137,
with a request to buy a transcontinen-
tai ticket for him. He put the check
in the drawer and forgot the request.
Sixteen years after the check was
found. The Virginiaite, who had
troubled the Senator for awhile, had
ceased to trouble, perhaps having de-
cided not to 20 to law for his money,
and he vas never discovered.
Stanford and Croker used to meet
each others obligations to the tune
often Of a half million and then forget
about it; and they once owned prop
erty for which Croker paid $40, 900
and did not know they owned it until
they received an offer for II from a
would-be purchaser.
Surely, ignorance Of ones wealth is
bliss when n has so much money
one does not know what to do with il.
In the contemplation Of Stanford's his
tory it is uncertain whether it is
better TO be the first Of the human
race and inherit an Eden or the first
man to build a railroad ACROSS a great
continent. There is no forbidden fruit
in the last proposition and nearly
everything is grist that comes to the
mill.
