thought that it required just such a
man as Mr.. Waters to solve such a
financial stringency as has just passed
over this country. He believed that
Mr.. Waters had been so near the peo-
pie that the task, if entrusted to him,
would have been an easy one.
AS the funeral procession left the
house, headed by Antiquity Lodge No.
81, A. F. & A. NJ, of this city, with a
dozen Knights Templars as honorary
and active pall-bearers, all of the
church bells, as we'll as the bell over
the town hall, commenced tolling. 1t
may be we'll to depart from the strict
news of the article to say that the bell
of the Catholic church was the first to
start. It was probably the first Cath
Ole bell that tolled for the death of a
man buried under Masonic auspices,
but SO warm friend was Mr.. Waters
to the Morton church, and Mr.. O'Con-
nor so warm friend to the Waters
family, that his broad minded spirit
went out to voice the sentiments OF
his congregation, and undoubtedly
it would have been approved by
that broad-minded archbishop, John
Ireland, that the bell was first offered
for tolling purposes.
It was $40 as the procession left the
house for the Redwood cemetery, {
distance of eight miles. 1t arrived a.
the cemetery shortly before five o'clock
and was followed by carriages, max
ing procession of nearly two miles
in length. Arriving at the grave the
casket was lowered in a grave casec
with lumber and lined with muslin by
the Knights Templars, while the choil
sang Nearer My God to Thee" The
regular Masonic ceremonies we're ther
held, and the body was left to the
care of Mother Earth.

Richness" I think the old man said
he came from Massachusetts. He was
a quiet, peaceable, old man, minded
his own business and paid no attention
to anybody, but after he commenced
work on his claim a few days ago it
got around that every pan he washed
out had So worth of gold in it. There
are q lot OF mean sons-of-guns up here
and when they think man that has a
good thing can be run off they just
get together and try to run him off.
So, one night two or three OF these
fellows went to the old mans tent,
showed their guns in the face of him
and his boy and told them if they did
not get off that claim within twenty
four hours they would get shot. The
old man wouldn't say anything to
them at also one of them after
wards owned up-but just lay
there, and the boy kept quiet, too. Al
forwards, the old man, whose name is
Henry Williams, talked it over with
the boy, and between them they
agreed that they would stick to it. So
they took turns lying and watching
for the claim jumpers. Three or four
days passed by and one night the
claim jumpers came. The boy was
asleep and the old man was on watch.
Before the old man knew what had
happened they had shot him in the
shoulders. The boy heard the shot
and out he jumped, with gun in
each hand, dropped two of the fellows
that we're after them, quicker than a
wink, and wounded third. The
fourth man was so frightened that he
ran away without firing shot. Then
the boy fixed the old man up a little
and came down into the town and
told what had happened. The boys
got together right away and went out
to the old mans camp and brought
him back to town and fixed him uI
the best the camp knew how, and soor
found out that he was not badly hurt
After they made this discovery the kic
dropped to the floor as though he hac
been shot. We picked him up ane
laid him in bunk, and then we fount
out that he was not a boy at all-bu
a girl, and as pretty little girl as 20,
ever want to look at.
AS 1 afterwards got the story tn
old man was in fearful hard luck bac]
east, and somebody told him abou
this place. His wife was dead and b
only had one girl. He wanted to com
out here and did not know what to d
with her, but she just said she woul'
come with him as boy and made tn
old man agree to her scheme. Maybe
you don't think the boys we're a
struck on her and her father after tn
little episode I mention. There ism

Lots of queer people have got mon
ey up here, or as they call it, have
struck it rich. One kid from San
Francisco, that everybody knows by
the name of "Wild Dick" came here
recently-no one knows how. He Sc
curedsome old tools and pan and
went to work. He is just Is years old
and is as tough kid as you ever saw,
but he has cleaned up already $1,000
for every one Of his years on earth,
and now he us goin' back to Frisco
wild money to burn" He said to me
yesterday: "When I'm going to go
back, say, Gully, I'm going to wear
nothin' but glimmers on me mitts
when I gifts back to town."
I remember, old man, that back in
Redwood Falls we used to think that
fellows we're in hard luck that had to
eat pork and beans, but you are in
great luck to get them out here, The
cattle we brought up here didn't last
long. Beans and bannocks is the daily
bill of fare for seven days week. Of
course, there is lots of canned stuff,
but you get awful tired Of that. There
is man going to try to raise some
garden stuff, and if he does, it means
that all he raises will be worth its
weight in gold.
Let me repeat that this is tough
country. It's all very we'll to think
about the gold that's in the ground,
and what you can do with it if you
can only get it out, but I wouldn'ttake
the whole country for present if it
we're given to me, except for the gold.
1t gives one the blues just to look out
doors. When it is cold here you think
that you are going to freeze solid,
sure. When it is hot, you know there
never was any place on earth any hot
ter, and there isn't any place between.
An acre of ground in Redwood county
is worth more than the whole country
with the gold taken out.
We hear that people are going to
come up here by the thousands, but I
tell you that if they do come, and
don't have plenty of provisions with
them there will be hundreds of new
graves before spring. I'm going out
in short time on case of duty. We
have new route and it will only take
us IS days to get out. It is only SOC
miles from Edmonton. I'm going in
again next spring, if not this fall.
haven't made fortune yet, but I have
made big money aud I am going tc
keep hold of it, too. If more people
would come out here ready to work
and go in business instead of hunting
gold they would make a lot more
money than they will prospecting.
} The stories that go out of here are
only about the fellows that have gooc
} luck. But there are lots of fellows
that don't have this luck. There are
an awful lot of people that come w
here and die. Persons coming here
should be able to stand cold weathe,
r and hardships of all kind liable t

and if they can't they had better keer

WnEAT'S VALUE.

WHEAT'S VALUE.
The Chicago prediction for higher
market for wheat made in the last let
ter of our correspondence has been
more than verified by the events of the
last two days.
December wheat, which closed Sat-
urday night, September 4, at 93ss, op-
ened to-day fully two cents higher,
and there is nothing in the present
outlook to indicate materially lower
prices in the immediate future. On
the contrary reports to Schwartz, Du-
pree & Go. from all parts of the wheat
consuming world are that there is a
marked scarcity, with indications that
worse condition of affairs is imminent.
The Mark Lane Express, which is an
authority in matters pertaining to
food supply and demand in Europe,
says that present wheat prices are
nothing like as high as they will be
when the outcome of the present
shortage in all parts of the world is
presented to the buyer. From Russia
comes. word that not only is the pres
ent crop poor one, but the drouth
is SO severe that farmers experience
great difficulty in preparing the ground
for seeding. This phase Of the stu
alton will appeal to many American
agriculturists who find themselves in
the same plight, and the continued
lack of rain in our wheat states when
it is imperatively needed for the plant
ing of winter wheat is likely to become
serious factor in the situation here.
The English visible supply of wheat
decreased 351, 900 bu. in the last week
and our own decrease was $4,000 bu
These figures should command atten.

winter wheat is to be seriously i'm

a prophet to foresee the future of that
cereal. Primary receipts are averaging
only about half what they we're a yea1

days was 400, 600 bu. as against 2 ,443,
600 bu. for one day year ago. It il

situation is radically different from
that oflwheat, because of good crol
this year and a heavy accumulation
from the crops Of 1896 and 1896. A

must receive vast amount of money
for the corn in sight even though

In the event of killing frosts prices
would, of course, go much higher
