Son Of Henry Carson Drowned While
Bathing.
From John Bishop who carries the
mail between Payette and Falk's Store
we get particulars Of the drowning of
little boy on Monday, about 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon, in the Payette Val
ley Company's big ditch a mile and a
half from Falk's Store.
Several boys were getting ready to 90
into the ditch for a swim when the lit
tie four-yearold son Of Henry Carson,
who had followed them to the ditch,
was discovered in the act of getting
ready to go into the water with them.
The child was warned to remain on
the ditch bank, and the older boys
went in where the water was about
four feet deep. They did not notice
that the child had disappeared from the
bank until they came out, when they
found his clothes. Search was i'm
mediately instituted, the entire
neighborhOod was aroused, and was
in fever of excitement, while the
ditch was being dragged and finally
drained, all without success, however,
the body being discovered:the follow
ing afternoon by Scot Stuart. The
body was found floating in a pond
caused by overflow from the ditch,
about two miles below where the boy
entered thu water.
the funeral took place Wednesday
at 10 o'clock, when a large plumber OF
sympathizing friends of the bereaved
parents followed the little body to its
final resting place.-Payette Indepeud.

ALASKAN PRESENTATIONS.

To certain class of adventurous
minds it will be useless to dwell upon
the hardships and dangers that Sur
round Alaskan gold diggings. The diff
ficulty of reaching the mines and of pre-
serving health in an almost bar
rem Arctic region viii be to many
positive attraction. They will enjoy the
idea of toiling over mountains with a
heavy pack, or Juggling at an oar in
nameless lakes of the wilderness, and
of shooting river rapids in frail boats.
Long marches have no terror for them,
and light rations, short of starvation,
will serve for jest Mosquitoes grow
large on the Yukon, but are not I'M
known in the United States. Sickness
would be more serious, but stalwart
men take the chances as to that. The
long winter with its intense cold, and
months when the sun gives but glim-
pse of daylight is more dreaded than
any other feature of life on the Klon-
doke. But even that would have some
of the Glamour belonging to stories of
Arctic travel which every one reads
with keen enjoyment. The polar ex-
plorer, it has been noticed, almost in
varibly goes back for fresh batch of
hardships.
Equally vain are words of caution
based on the extremely hard manual
labor connected with getting out the
placer gold of Alaska. Toiling with
the pick and shovel in ordinary soil is
not regarded as an easy job. When the
ground is frozen to the depth of many
feet the task of delYing into it is hur.
culean. Alaska miners proceed by
building fires to thaw out the soil suf-
ficiently to permit a shaft to go down
until the auriferous strata is reached.
Then the gold is secured by the weari.
some operation of dissolving the earth
rich enough to promise a profit. A
few scrubby trees grow in the Klon-
dyke region, most of which have al
ready been cut away. How the miners
are to secure enough for fuel and min
ing uses has not been explained. When
good roads are opened to the headwat.
ers of the Yukon this and many other
problems will be solved. Machinery
will then be introduced to processes on
a larger scale. Mining in frozen soil
amid Arctic desolation is something
new, but the inventive Yankee will be
sure to facilitate it in numerous ways.
This year and next will be the crucial
period for Alaska gold hunters. There
will be much suffering from cold and
hunger under conditions which in some
cases will not admit of relief. When a
man leaves the coast and goes a thous-
and miles into the interior winter cuts
off his retreat absolutely. If the food
on hand is insufficient some adventures
will be trapped, as were the Arctic par,
ties of De Long and Greedy. On the
other hand, it must be remembered
that lines of transportation can be
quickly opened in these times. When
tits settled beyond doubt that great de-
posits of gold exist in Alaska comfort
able routes will be established by water
wagon road, and perhaps by rail. Thai
region of our big territory will now be
speedily explored by the prOspector
and must be regarded as an interesting
news center.-Globe Democrat.

IS THIS PROSPERITYf

1t Is astonishing how disappointed peo-
pie were when the news came that after
all there were only s557 900 on the much
heralded and long expected steamer,
Portland. 1t seems as if everybody rath-
er expected that steamer to set the
world wild again and send the multi
tudes flocking ino the frozen regions Of
gold. 1t had been reported that the
boat carried from 100000 to 100000 Of
gold and to have it dwindle so material
the talk about the wonderful Klondyke
Eldorado could be discounted about rs
per cent and that the talk about pros
perity at this time was subject to SIM
liar discount. Indeed, the so-called pros
perity seems to be slumping away. We
are sorry to see this for our own good.
A little season of real prosperity would
give us breathing space, and we need
it. But wheat which ought to pay the
farmer, under present exceptional condi-
tions, at least 81 a bushel has slipped
down again from the 81 mark to 80 cents
and up again but not to the dollar mark
The farmer will not sell many bushels of
wheat for dollar But he gets the
benefit of the high prices for everything
he has to buy if that is benefit Even
his wheat when ground into flour is
bought back at big price. If an ex-
ceptional combination of events in Nc
Kinley's first year can not bring more
prosperity than this, to what depths will
we sulk when conditions get normal
again! We may point out in this con-
nection that there was a marked and
alarming deficit in the revenues for July
and August. The Dingley law has not
done so we'll as the Gorman-Wilson law
up to date. Can Mckinley avoid issu-
ing bonds? Unless six months brings
a change, bonds will be the order once

as little to sophisticate the public as
they do now to respect it's laws. Mr..
Flowers powers of statement and mis-
statement are giganic. Mr.. Flower
says he cites many facts. Those that
are not irrelevant are not facts He
lays most stress on the history of trans
portatiOn consolidation and claims that
1t has reduced fares and bettered service.
The reduction Of fares and freights has
not been due to consolidation, but to
the competition still operative to a con-
siderable exent in the transportation
world. But where there is no cOmpeti-
tion we see rates rising, or, at least, pre-
vented from falling.
A fresh instance of the rising is the
action just taken by the Eastern Joint
Traffic association, which the other day
raised grain rates between Chicago and
the seaboard cents per hundred, or
more than Is per cent This means
that, whether or not the farmer is to
get any benefit from the recent advance
in grain, the railroads get sure cents
additional out of every bushel An in
stance of the not falling is the failure
Of passenger rates between New York
and Chicago, for instance to act in obe-
dience with Mr.. Flowers law. It still
costs SEQ to go between these cities,
whereas in Hungary, under the zone
system, passengers can travel first class
an equal distance for S. There is no
competition in Hungary but there is
there a substitute for it which the logic
of our losses-losses both of money and
of liberty-will teach the American peo-
pie to adopt. This substitute is the
authority of the state.

APPEAL TO POPULISIS
For the Lease Home Fund.

The following contributions have been
received for the fund recently started,
which is being raised by the Represen-
tative for the purpose of purchasing
home for Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, Of
Kansas, who has been ruthlessly de-
prived of the shelter for her children,
by money-lending corporation, for one
half the amount loaned upon it, and a
Judgment obtained for the remainder,
which they propose to use in following
her up to reduce her to absolute want.
Her offence is the eloquent advocacy Of
Populist principles. l ask every lover
of justice and fair play to send his con-
tribution to me at Hastings, Mimi, and
l Will see that the money is acknowl-
edged in this paper, and scrupulously
applied to the purpose designated I
also call upon all Populist newspapers
throughout the country to give notice to
their readers of the movement and re-
quest their subscribers to contribute to
the fund

Fall River and New Bedford Had an Old Time

Twelve Inning Gamc-Notes.

A merry party of rooters, numbering 200,
boarded the good old ship Pawnee yester-
day morning to assist at the ''at home,"
which the Newport millionaires had ten
dered to the Maroons as an opening event
in the 'sVenetian fete." On the way down
the boys were in good humor and felt in
excellent spirits. The Duke of Bath Road,
Sir Michael Finn, had arranged an elabor-
ate entertainment for them during their
stay in the city of summer fogs, and
dreams of introductions to Duke this and
Duchess that fioated Uemptingly before
the eyes of the representatives from Davis
vile.
When the sturdy little craft hove in
sight of the city of blue bloods there was
an unusual commotion on the deck of the
n-of-war vessels lying at anchor In the
harbor. Immediately search lights and
telescopes were brought to bear upon the
trim looking flyer, as it danced merrily
over the waves, bearing down upon them
with SO much confidence. When, how
ever, the smiling countenances of Director
Moy and Manager Smith were discerned by
Commodore Sicard, all fear of hostile in
vasion vanished and he ordered salute of
40 guns to be fired In honor of Sir Michael's
guests.
Sir Michael had arranged for the recep-
zion to be held at Freebody Park and at
the appointed hour the Duke and his fair
Lady assistants, the colts, received the
Pawtucket delegation with open arms.
The Earl of Connollyville was the master
of ceremonies and introduced the Maroons
20 Hawley's high and low ones. The Ma
rooms, however, were awed by the sur
roundings of 80 much blue blood, and up
on six distinct occasions, only, did they
treat Mr.. Hawley as he ought to have been
treated. Too bad, that our boys will per.
sist in being 80 bashful, particularly, when
q little nerve and ginger would advance
them into the charmed circle of Chaun-
cey's 400.
1t was a close and exciting game
throughout, and at no time during the re-
ception could the summer girls feel that
they had q lead pipe cinch on the festivities
OF the day. .Knorr and Hawley were the
star personages of the afternoon for their
respective aggregations, and 1t must be
said that they did their work well. Haw-
ley's pitching was feature, and his bat
ting turned the tide of victory for the home
club. Had 1t not been for q wicked bound
of a hot drive at Moss In the third inning
the game might still be in progress. Both
clubs played good ball and Sir Michael felt
relieved when the last Maroon was retired.
Hawley made home run. The score:
