TIE NEW PEDDLING LAW.

Many inqniries are being made as to
the exact provisions of the new ped
ding law and in answer to the same
we give the following synopsis:
No person is allowed to peddle or
sell from any stand or vehicle of any
kind in the public streets, highways or
elsewhere in any township in this
state without first getting a license
from the township board of the town
ship in which he proposes to operate.
Where the township population is
less than 1000, the license fee Is fixed
at s. whether from pack on back or "a
big two-horse wagon. In townships of
not less than | 1000 and not over $500 a
fee Of not less than 80 nor more than
$40. Where the population exceeds
2 800 the fee must be not less than Sl5
nor more than $50.
Licenses are not transferable, and no
matter when issued, all licenses expire
May / of each year. Every pedder
must execute $50 bond to the county
clerk, with two sufficient securities,
that he will carry on his business in a
quiet and orderly manner.
For any violation OF this law the
penalty is fine Of not more than $50
and costs OF prosecution or three
months in county Jail or both. This
law took effect on its passage June 2,

FRCM THE GOLD REGIONS.
A Former BeIding Man There-Writes to
Rev. ID. T.. Millard of Portland.

A Former BeIding Man There Writes to
Rev. ID. T.. MiIlard of Portland.
Portland Review:
Rev. David f.. Millard permits us to
take extracts from two very entertain
ing Alaska letters, received on the
same mail, but bearing different dates,
written by w. G. Beecher of Reed City,
formerly of Belding, this county.
Mr.. Beecher said he left the head of
Lake Linderman June 9th and made
the run through to Dawson City in l6
days. The weather in the interior is
something to be remembered, being
red hot in summer and extremely cold
in winter. "Men are making fortunes
here every day. Two steamers left
carrying two and one and a half tons
OF gold respectively. Some OF the
miners have so much gold they have
to hire horses to pack it to the steamer.
Two men shovelled out $4,000 in six
hours, one man took $500 in one pan,
another $1,000 in one pan. Laborers
get from 80 to SIS per day."
Speaking Of the hardships encounter
ed on a trip to the Klondike Mr..
Beecher says: "Coming down the
river is very dangerous, as the rapids
have to be run by the boats and man
must be a good boatsman and have a
clear head. While we were at Grand
Canyon we saved two men, whose craft
had tipped over. They lost their boat
and everything on board.
The ground on the Klondyke is all
located, but our crowd will get piece
of ground to work this winter. Work
on the Klondike is all winter diggings.
Flour is only 80 per hundred"
The last letter bears date July 9th.
In relating his quest for gold the
writer says: "We could not get any of
the good ground ourselves, but have a
chance to take two lays-one on Bonan-
creek, for one half of what we take
from the ground. We can commence
digging and burning out holes by Sep
tember lst and drift until next May or
June lst and expect to make "A good
stake. The money is here and | am
going TO have some OF it before | quit
the country. Restaurants are paying
Sl.00 per pound for moose meat, SIS
for one salmon, Sl00 each for trout.
House logs bring $500 aplece-others
$40 per thousand feet. If newspapers
say miners are starving they are away
off. You can say it is not true, as there
is any quantity of provisions here
enough to feed all of the people until
next summer.
"Miners are playing faro, roulette,
and other games of chance and some of
them lose as high as from 81 900 to
50, 600 in one night The nights are all
day and it is hard to keep track which
is day and which is night. Dawson
City is hummer and money will 60

FARMERS OF THE WEST.
Their Financial Condition Investigated
From "a Non Political Standpoint.


From n Non Political Standpoint.
Orange Judd Farmer:
So much has been said about the
paying up of mortgages and other
debts by western farmers this fall, and
so much of politics, hope and apparent
exaggeration has been printed in the
newspapers on the subject, that the
real facts in the case are greatly need
ed. We have made an effort to ascer-
tain these facts, by an investigation
conducted through the offices OF regis
ters of deeds, banks and loan agents, in
almost every county from Ohio to the
Pacific coast. These reports supple
ment each other, and show at once
whether any single return is colored
for political, colonial or other reasons.
Besides this is IA system OF returns
that we are gathering from the farm
ers who have actually paid off their
mortgages
With all these checks it does seem
that the results Of Orange Judd Farm
er's inquiry were worthy of profound
attention. From week to week we
shall give brief digest of the returns
from each state, beginning in this
issue with the much abused state OF
Kansas. The facts are that the glor-
ious Sunflower state is ''everlastingly
in it. -
Without anticipating the reports
from other states, which are not yet
all in, we are justified in this conclu-
sion: That while newspapers stories
have been somewhat exaggerated, it is
an absolute fact that the western farm
er's financial condition is wonderfully
improved. During the past three
years he practiced such economy that
with a slight improvement in wheat
prices last fall and fairer values for
cattle, sheep and hogs, the thrifty
farmer gradually reduced his debts.
With good prices this fall, he is indeed
paying off the mortgage, or if it is con-
tinued it is at lower rate of interest
and for the purpose of improving the
farm or buying more land. The fall in
the interest rate is quite as remark
able as the other features of the rising
tide.
Farmers everywhere seem determin-
ed to pay their debts first of all. Many
thousands of them will then have
comfortable surplus left. All propose
to now stock up with some of the neces-
stiles they have gone without during
the past years of depression, and those
who are comfortably fixed will have
some OF the Injuries of life. This
means an immense consumption OF
manufactures in return for fair values
of farm produce. And right here is
the basis of substantial Improvement
in the times. Farmers are not going
to lose their heads and 90 in for a
reckless ''boom,' but they are ready,
able and willing to do their part by
conservative consumption and produc-
tion to usher in period of thriving
industry for thrifty people in every
vocation.
This is the spirit that now animates
our western farmers. And they have,
or will have, the stuff TO back it up.
Let US doubling Thomas, if there still
be such, read our reports from week to
week, and be convinced.

chicks. 1t is not convenient to put
them into the permanent quarters with

trees. A simple plan to meet the fall
