It is said that the Grand Forks syndi-
cate of mine owners in the new territory
in British Columbia, have a neat thing
in the way Of paying silver vein. but
lately developed. The first returns from
the reduction works at Omaha we're re-
ceived short time since and the net
profits on the shipment were $1,7OO. The
mine is in the Slooan district, about 15O
miles from the line, it is said. Even with
the present low price of silver this prop
erty is considered very valuable.

tOEs Will get no good winter wheat wheat
on this crop.
"As result Of this condition OF affairs
all eyes are turned toward the northwest
as the only available source of supply,
and the most lively competition is prob
able between the country millers, the
country elevator system, Minneapolis
and Duluth millers, Minneapolis and
Duluth elevator system, eastern millers,
Chicago and seaboard elevator systems
and the exporter. This competition will
most naturally result in higher prices, as
the northwestern farmer is fully advised
as to the situation, and is bull on his
own product, aud is more likely to hold
1t for 2Oc advance than he is to rush
it to market at present prices. He never

tion.
"Ihose who are claiming 15O,OOO,OOO

states-Minnesota and North and South
Dakota-scarcely consider what such

100000, and to produce such quantity
every acre would need to yield % bu,
and the most sangulpe bear hardly
anticipates such a prodigious and un-
heard of yield. The yield last year was
about II % bu per acre.
"As to the probable export demand,
We are satisfied that 1t will be greatly in
excess of our ability to satisfy it, no
matter what price. This view Of the ex-
port situation is confirmed by confer

For a Road to 1fiuer0y Take

Jos. E. Turney,. the veteran
homesteader who is known to
every person on the range, has
this week been getting sigma
lures to a petition to the board
of county commissioners, askin 6
for the construction Of road
from a point on the county ROAD
between this city and Eveleth
and running west to Mineral
lake, a trifle over one mile and
quarter. Such road would
prove of great benefit to the
hOmesteaders in the district and
would Furthermore open a pleas
ant drive to1citizens of the two
towns, as Minera! lake is one of
tho most beautiful bodies of wat
er in northern Minnesota and is
we'll stocked with fish. If sigma
lures carry any effect with the
board the petition will receive
deserved recognition.

From DHfutjs to the BOHNaGrv.

County Commissioner Miller
has at various times during his
visits to this city broached the
subject of a through county read
from Duluth to the boundary,
the proposed road runnin g
through Virginia and from here
the branch roads would connect
all range towns with this main
artery. The idea is easily con.
ceded as sound, and an article in
yesterdays Duluth Common
wealth would denote that Mr..
Miller intends pushing the pro-
<ject to g successful end if posi-
ble. At the next meeting of the
county board he will have pre-
pared and present Il resolution
to bond tho county for 800, 900
for the purpose of building this
road and also one to connect
with the Duluth & Winnepeg dis.
trict. and in the presentation Of
the resolution will doubtless be
backed by the Duluth Chamber
Of Commerce and by the senti-
ment Of the great majority of
range residents. BY the pro-
posed read the distance from
this city to Duluth wotla be but
sixty eight and one-half miles,
and would pass through a splen-
did farming district, while from
here north the road would tra-
verse some of the finest timber
ed lands in the state.

great mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who was pleased to give us grace and
courage to dare to enter that great city,
ana lis He who preserved me from great
dangers, as you will see further on.
And | give Him thanks that He has
carried me through all those dangers to
enable me to write this, although not
writing it as it ought to be written. But
let us leave off talking about it, for indeed
the actions are sufficient evidence of what
l say.
On our entrance to the city they gave
us for our quarters certain houses which
were large enough to accommodate us all.
These had been the residence of Axayaca,
the father of Montezuma, and near where
at that time Montezuma had his grand
temples of idols and in which he also had
a secret cham ber full of treasure left him
by his father.
They took us to this place. near their
idols, because they considered us Teules.
But be it for whatever reason it was. there
they placed us in that building with it's
grand halls and richly ornamented rooms.
And there was room enough for all of us
and on the ground there were mats to
sleep on, for they used no beds, no matter
how great the lord.
When we entered the great patio. Mon
tezuma, who was there wa ting US, took
Cortes by the hand and led him to the
room he was to occupy, and which was
richly furnished according to their Gus
tom, and he had ready collar of gold
made to represent Holsters, marvellous
work OF art, and Montezuma placed it

they had neither been seen, heard of, or
even dreamed of before.
When we arrived near Iztapalpa two
other mobiles, Coadlavaca the lord of the
town, and the lord of Coyoacan came out
with great state to receive us. Both were
near relatives of Montezuma, and when
We entered Iztapalpa we marveled at the
grandeur of the buildings in which they
placed u.s. how large they where and how
well built, being of stone and lime and
the woodwork all of cedar and other
odorous wood. The rooms were all large
as were also the patios, the latter being
covered over with shades of cotton cloth
to keep out the heat of the sun.
When we had examined all this we
went out in the orchards and gardens
which were so well worth seeing that
could not tire of looking through them;
the diversity of the trees and the delight
full odor of the flowers, and the rare plum
age OF the birds being thing to marvel
There was also pond of fresh water
and a small canal led into the gardens
from the lake so that canoes could enter.
/ say again that was looking at it all and
could not believe that in all the world
such another land would be discovered,
for at this time Peru had not even been
heard Of.
At this time one-half of the town was
built in the water and the other half on
land now the lake was dried up so much
that where the water was are fields of
maize and of the whole town there is not
one stone standing on another.
The next morning we left lztapalpa.
accompanied by the same Caciques who
had received US. We followed the cause
way, which was narrow, being about
eight steps wide and which ran straight
into the City of Mexico, and the sides of
the causeway and the housetops were lined
with Indians and the lake was covered
with canoes all filled with people who
came out to see us, and it was not to be
wondered at as they had never seen
horses before nor men like us. We could
scarcely believe that what we saw was
zeal. On shore and in the lake were large
towns and ahead of us at the end of the
gateway the grand City of Mexico, and
we noticed many bridges of wood in the
causeway. And then we thought we
were only four hundred and fifty men,
and we well remembered the advice
given us at Guaxocingo and Tlascala and
Talmanalco, how we would have to guard
ourselves or the Mexicans would slay us
all when they had us within their city.
Let the curious reader think of what 1
write. What men have there been in the
world who have been SO bold? But let us

were sent by the great Montezuma to re-
ceive us, and when they came to where
Cortes was they saluted him after their
custom and said he was welcome, and in
token of peace touched the earth with

around his neck. Cortes thanked him again
and Montezuma said: 'Malinche, you
are in our own house; here repose your
self and your brothers." and presently he
went to his own palace, which was not
far off. while we divided up our quarters
among the different companies in the
best manner possible, placing our cannon
in good position, for it behooved us to
have everything in good order.
Montezuma had provided sumptuous
repast for us, cooked after their style and
of which we soon partook.
And this was the way we entered the
great city Of Tenochtitian, Mex CO, on the
eighth day of November in the year of
our Savior Jesus Christ, 1919.

he learned that we had done the same and
had arranged ourselves in our quarters.
he came in great pomp with train OF
his courtiers. all of whom were his rela-
tives, to see us.
When Cortes was informed of his ar
rival, he advanced to the middle OF the
hall to receive him, and Montezuma took
him by the hand and they brought cush-
ions, richly ornamented with gold, and
he asked Cortes to be seated, and when
both had taken their seats MOntezuma
said that it afforded him great pleasure
to have in his house such brave cavaliers
as Cortes and his companions, and that
two years ago he had learned of another r
Captain who had been on the coast and
who had touched at Champoton. and that
the following year he had heard OF still
another Captain who came with four

stones. Montezuma himself was sumptu-
ously arraye6 according to their usage.
The mobiles who accompanied him were all
richly dressed and wore ornaments OF gold,
pearls and precious stones, and were not
dressed as when they came to meet us,
but had changed their garments to meet
their lord. Other great lords held the
canopy over Montezuma, while others still
went ahead OF him sweeping the cause
way and placing mats, that his feet might
not touch the earth.
All of these except the four relatives on
whom he leaned walked with humble air
with their eyes cast down and would not
even dare to think of looking on his face.
When Cortes was informed that the
great MOntezuma was approaching he
alighted from his horse, and when Mon
tezuma came near he received him with
Monteumza said that he was welcome, to
which Cortes replied through Dona
Marina that he himself was the most for
tunate of men. He then offered his right
hand to Montezuma, bu t he refused it and
insisted on offering his right hand to Cor
tes, who then placed collar of margaritas
set.i in gold around the neck of Monte
yuma, and as he did so he offered to en-
brace him. but the great lords around
Montezuma seized his arms so that he
could not do it, they looking on such
things as an indignity.
Cortes now said through Dona Marina
that his heart was glad since he had seen
such great prince, and that he took
Montezuma' S coming to see him as sig
nal act of courtesy. Montezuma replied
with complimentary words and then
ordered his two nephews, the lord OF
Tezcuco and the lord OF Cuyocan, to
conduct us to our quarters. while he him.
self and his train returned to the city,
and as he passed back through his mobiles
they stood reverently with their eyes cast
down. And soon afterwards we also
passed on toward the city.
Who can tell the multitude of men and
women and children who swarmed along
the causeway and on tine rooftops and in
canoes to see us; it was indeed wonder
full sight. and even now as | write can
see it all before my eyes again as though
it occurred yesterday. And it was the
