A Glowing Story That Is Not

Affidavit.
A Vast Tiood OF Human BolnEs said 90

PERTH, West Australia, Jan. 27.-Whlc
the rest OF Australasia and it would seem
the rest Of the commercial world are suffer
ing from the most depressing business stag
nation in history. the comparatively nm
known colony Of West Australia Is fairly
booming with a prosperity such as distin-
guished the early years after the discovery
Of gold In California
The first settlement in West Australia
was made In 1926, but its remoteness from
lines Of travel and the general sterility Of
the country, added 20 the fact that better
farming land WAS to be found In more ac-
oessible parts Of this island continent, kept
immigration away. Now people-principal-
ly men-are swarming 20 this country by the
tens Of thousands and all because Of the
new goldfelds recently discovered back
200 to 800 miles from the coast.
Within the past eight months the popu-
lation OF West Australia has leaped from
$1,000 20 over 200. COO aud il looks as II the
human food had only begun. The idle
throngs in the other Australasian colonies
have no doubt much 70 do with this state
OF affairs, hut the stories Of sudden for
tunes one hears in this city would unsettle
the most prosperous community In the
world if they heard them.
Up 60 one year ago the principal products
Of this colony were wool and kari gum
blocks, used for paving the streets Of Mel
bourne. Sydney and other Australian cities.
Gold had been found before this in small
quantities. but water being scarce and 9TH
er fields more profitable they were never
worked. Nine months ago two miners
ramed Folsom and Smith, who bad had eX
perience in California, came in, bringing
with them on a pack horse about 500
ounces, or SO. 600 worth, OF free gold. These
men tried, without success, to hide their
find As soon as they had sold ont their
bullion they bought fresh horses, laid in
supplies and tools for surface work and
started back TO the arid bush again.
Folsom and Smith left town in the night,
hut at daylight the next morning they dis
covered that they were being followed by
scores Of men equipped like themselves. In
this case necessity became a virtue, and 80
the DISCOVERIES OF the new fields piloted
their unwelccmc companions to what prom
Uses TO he q new Eldorado.
The contagion Of the gold fever was too
great for your correspondent TO resist, and
four months ago ne found himself one Of a
band Of as rough and hardy adventures as
ever went in search Of that metal the love
Of which IS said TO be the root Of an evil.
We Travelled or foot, carrying our sup
plies on horseback, and after Is days we
had penetrated 300 miles into the sterile

Formerly With the Milwaukee.

New YORK, Oct. 1O.-Wiliam S.
Thorne, Jr., the well known business
man, committed suicide at his fathers
home on Sunday afternoon. Thorne
was president Of the Red Star Manu-
featuring company and Junior partner
Of the l%ubricating oil firm of Dingle &
Co. For l6 years he has been assistant
secretary Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul, giving up that position in
March last, when he removed with his
wife and two children to Brooklyn and
entered into partnership with his
bcother-in-law.

Gates. Henry Payne, one Of the re-
c~eivers, was present with ex-senator
Spooner of Wisconsin. w. H. Cordeze
of New York, representing the second
mortgage bondholders, opposed the is
sue, claiming that it was unjust to the
second and third mortgage bondholders
Attorneys for the receivers followed
with arguments for the application.

California Spectators Drop n Million and
Half on Wheat.

California Spectators Drop a Million and
Half on Wheat.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1O.-The Ex-
aminer says: There are zoe, 900 tons of
May wheat lying at Port Costa and its
vicinity, the first cost of which was ST.
900, 900 more than the price which it
now commands in the market. Add to
this interest, insurance, storage and
other expenses and the difference be-
tween it's cost and its value will not fall
short Of 81, 800, 900.
This great mass of grain is the out
ward visible signs of the great deal
which began a year ago, and the pur-
chases for which only ceased on June
/ last. Its owner or owners has been a
matter of conjecture for 10 months. No
n has yet stated with authority who
he is, or who they are, but the concen-
sus Of opinion for a long time, decided
upon ex-senator James G. Fair. OF
late this idea has been modified. Mr..
Fair is still credited with being one of
the unfortunate manipulators of this
years wheat market, but it is now be-
lieved that he had partners to share his
loss. The exterior evidences point to a
pool Of men in control of ready cash
and the rumor has spread on California
street that either George Whitfield OF
Luning Camp are the partners.

Over Half q Million Bushels Shipped to

Over Half a Million Bushels Shipped to
This Country Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Internationally
more than half a million bushels of po-
tatoes, weighing l ,745 tons, were
brought from Scotland to the United
States in nine months ended in June,
and this, too. Notwithstanding a pro.
tective tariff of rs cents per bushel on
imported potatoes. This fact is set out
in a report to the state department by
United States Consul Savage, at Dun.
dee, Scotland. Nothing but the best
potatoes, magnum bonums and bruces,
are shipped to America. The price at
the beginning of the season was $ll.55
per ton, f. o. b., exclusive of the cost OF
sacks-13 cents each. The freight from
Dundee to New York was $2.S5.
The consul reports that the outlook
for this seasons business is uncertain.
The Scotch acreage is smaller than that
of last year, less of the export brands
have been planted, and the crop has
suffered from frost and rain, all point
ing to higher prices.
On the other hand the reduction o.
the tariff Oh potatoes by u new tariff
act from 25 to Is cents per bushel, and
the expected rise i'll price of potatoes
owing to our own short crop, may
largely increase shipments from Scot,
land

DULUTH, Oct. 10.-The new life saw

Chill Pays Judgments.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The Gillian
government, through its minister here,
has just paid into the state department
$245, 564.45, being the amount of the
judgments rendered against Chilli by
the Gillian claims commission, which
closed it's work in Washington three
months ago. Most Of these claims are
based upon injuries sustained by Amer
lean citizens resident in Chill and Peru
during the war between these countries.
From the total amount of the judgments
there were deducted 5 per cent, amount
ing to $~12,028.21, in accordance with
the provisions of the treaty, to pay the
expenses Of the commission.

How They Were Introduced in the North

YANKToN, S. D., Oct. 10. The origin
of the Russian thistle in this country
has been talked about for several
months, but it was only recently that
the man responsible for it's introduce

Henry Schantz, a Russian farmer liv-
ing in Yankton county, imported some
flax seed from the old country, which
he planted. One thistle grew that
year in his flax field, and his neighbors
wanted him to destroy it. He said,
mo, let it grow and see what it will
amount to-" From this single plant
has come the pest of the Northwestern
farmer. There was not a thistle Of any
kind in this state prior to that time. In
Russia this weed is cut when young
and packed away to feed to stock dur
ing the winter, and it has been sug-
gested that if cut before the fiber be-
ome hard it could be baled and used
as fuel when dried.
