while the reckless Adventures who are

1t is the same old story which has been

pioneers often fell short of provisions,
they were generally accustomed to sim
pie living and backwoods expedients.

moving quite freely to this market
from Minnesota and the Dakotas,
is selling within 8 to 6 cents of the

what meant to them more money

The Great Wheat Crop

Charles Pillsbury, the owner OF
great -four mills in Minneapolis,
sends the following to the Boston
Herald "a conservative estimate
of the crop of thesestates, Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, is 100000,
900 bushels. Thirty cents increase
means overseas 900, 900 extra to the
farmers OF the states, with more to
come. The crop of the United States
is probably abouts.. 100000 900.
Thirty cents increase on this means
$3.50, 900, 600 extra to the farmers.
This is bound to bring prosperity if
the politicians and crauks can be
held down. The wants of Europe
are so large that they will require
much more than we can supply from
our surplus"
Friday was the firstl,time since
the summer of 1890 that cash
wheat sold on the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce at ISL. This
price was paid for a round lot of old
northern by c. A. Pillsbury. After
Mr.. Pillsbury had bought at this
figure, another miller named James
Marshall offered the same figure for

A Warning From Secretary Bliss.

The secretary of the interior has issued
a timely warning to the goldseekers
who, regardless of the dictates of pru.
dence, are seeking the Kloudike gold
fields without adequate preparations to
withstand the rigors of an Arctic winter
and the privations of an isolated settle
ment, cut off from all supplies Of food.
lie simply repeats what every expert
has said from the beginning of the excite
ment, what the newspapers have repeat
edly told their readers, and what their
readers, who rely on them implicitly for
information as to the glories and riches
of this land of promise, with the incon-
sistency OF sangune adventures, ignore.
His official declaration OF the difficulties
and dangers of the Yukon region may
be more effective than other statements
have been. At any rate, he puts the
government on record as advising
against illprepared expeditions, and
throws upon those who persist in court
ing suffering the responsibility for their
own stubbornness.
There can be no doubt that Secretary
Bliss is fully justified in his fears that
the crowds who go through the White
Pass this summer will be rushing into
great danger. Reports come from the
Yukon that the old miners who have spent
winters there btfore foresee the starvation
which is bound to come to half
provisioned Arctic settlement, and are
moving away while there is yet time.
They are not lacking in love of gold, but
they have experience, and can measure

The Peacham Centennial.

The recent celebration at Peacham
is attracting considerable outside
attention. The Boston Transcript
comments as follows: "The celebra-
ton of it's hundredth anniversary by
the Peacham academy in Vermont
shows the honor wherein the old
New England institution is held in
towns where it still survives. Sum
rise guns and dinner in the Con-
gregational church for FIVE hundred
people were among the substantial
ceremonies of the occasion. The old
New England academy has in most
towns been superseded now by the
high schools. The amount of attain
ment, of quantity, of accomplish
ment, is perhaps more extensive
under the modern system. but the
development of character, and the
solid foundations LAID for culture in
the old academies were great factors
in building up the citizenship OF
New England. Many OF the acade-
mics graduated famous men and
were themselves as famous as the
colleges of to-day, which most nearly
preserve their serious Tradition OF
scholarship and responsibility-as
Williams and Dartmouth and
Amherst"
