Back From the Yukon.

]. A. Wilson, a prominent citizen o!
Hood River, was in town today. Mr..
Wilson returned home yesterday from
Dawson City whittier he went July 80,
1897, on the first trip of the Elder. He
left Dawson City Sept. 1st and lay
over four days and half at Skagway,
thus making the trip from Dawson in
about II days. Mr.. Wilson found
noLhing for himself of any particular
value.
He located a promising bench claim
but was euchred out of it as only a
Canadian official can euchre. When
one discovers claim in that vast
country he notifies the gold COM
missioner and this autocrat notifies the
mining Inspector who examines the
claim and reports to his superior. If
the claim is of acy value the gold COM
missioner gives it to one Of his pets and
then the original discoverer is let out
with some polished lie. If Mr.. Wilson
had succeeded in getting the claim he
discovered he believes he could have
easily haYe sold it for o$20,0O0. Mr..
Wilson used to think American pol
iticians were about as corrupt set
of vampires as they make them. His
trip has modified his opinion MATER
tally. The mounted police, who are
fine body of men, always except,
the Canadian officials are the rottenest
set of bloodsuckers it was his misfor-
tune to know. The government, else
is of the grafters, by the grafters and
of the grafters. Mr.. Wilson thinks
there are not more than 100 good pay
ing placer claims in the wrole Yukon
district. Only three such claims were
while he was there. His
health was fairly good all the time.
There was no scarcity of food last
winter. Flour that was held By specu-
lators during the winter at 800 sack
sold in the spring. before an ounce of
supplies come in, at $40. Mr.. Wilson
will not go back to the Yukon as
gold hunter. If he ever goes back it
will be on some commercial specula-
tion. The first eggs brought to Daw-
son last spring were sold for $500 a
dozen. At half that rate he would
embark in the egg business without !!
hesitation, but in gold hunting on the
Yukon never.

Profit of Wheat Raising.

J.D. Woodruff, q prominent mer-
chant of Hood River, was in town last
night the guest of the Umatilla House.
Mr.. Woodruff still retains his large
landed interests in Sherman county.
Ills farm there. which he managed in
part this year himself, yielded him
1000 sacks of No. l wheat which is
yet unsold, but which he has offered
to local buyer for SO cents bushel,
believing as he puts it, that he can
better afford to lose cents busbel,
by selling too soon than take chances
on getting 5 cents more later on.
There are few men in the country bet
ter qualified to offer an opinion as to
the lowest price at which Eastern
Oregon farmers can afford to sell
wheat and yet have a fair profit for
their labor than Mr.. Woodruff. His
opinion, as stated to the writer, is

WHEAT IN RUSSIA,
Distinguished American Says There is
Big Shortage


Big Shortage.
John W. Bookwalter, the political
economist of Springfield. Ohio, who is
travelling in Russia, writing on Aug
ust IA gives gloomy account of the
con dition of that country through
which he passed. He says: Through
out the whole distance to the Ural
mountains, from Moscow, nearly 1000
miles, the crops at best were very poor,
but in five governments, of which Sa-
mara is the center and embracing
region fully 500 miles square the crops
even grass, were an absolute failure.
In the government of Samara, twice
as large as Belgium, they were
burned out, and the farmers will not
raise enough to supply one-ffth of the |
population. This stricken district is |
the Volga region, and the finest spring ]
wheat and cereal section in Russia. |
1t usually produces immense crops and |
generally large exportable surplus"
AS the population of that region is
about II, 600, 900, large Importation of
grain will be required to supply the
necessities of the people.
Mr.. Book:yalter was informed by a
Russian official that they expected to
import into those provinces not less
than 80, 000, 900 bushels of grain this
year; that the stocks in Russia are
exhausted, and with the
stocks of the world so completely de-
1leted, he says he cannot see how
wheat under the circumstances is to
'emain down. This being true, and
here is no reason to doubt Mr.. Book
valter's statement, the wheat growers
lave much to encourage the belief
hat with him they cannot see how
wheat is to remain down at the present
'rices. Under the conditions which
xist for large hone consumptive de-
nand, Russia will have little or none
o spare for export

WHOLESOME ADVICE.
For People Whose stomachs are Weak

For People Whose stomachs are Weak
and Digestion Poor.
DR.. Harlandson, whose opinion in
diseases is worthy of attention, says
when man or woman comes to me

appetite, sour stomach, belching, sour
watery risings, headaches, sleep
lessness. lack of ambition and a gen.
eral run down nervous condition 1 ad-
wise them TO take after each meal one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
allowing the tablet to dissolve in the
mouth, and thus mingle with the food
eaten. The result is that the food is
speedily digested before it has time to
sour and ferment. These tablets will
digest food anyway whether the
stomach wants to or not. because they
contain harmless digestive principles,
vegetable essences, pepsin and Golden
Seal which supply just what the weak
stomach lacks.
I have advised the tablets with
great success, both in curing indigest.

A fifty cent package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets can be bought at
any drug store, and as they are not a
secret patent medicine, they can be
used as often as desired with full as

harmful in the slightest degree; on the |

Fields of Cuba.

John Mcneil, SON of Roderick Nc
Neil of this city and Mosier, who en-
listed while in Michigan last Novem-
ber in the First U. S. Cavalry, arrived
here last night on thirty days fur
Tough. Mr.. Mcneil came here direct
~ from the New Haven, Conn.,. hospi-
tai, where he was detained for nearly
a month by typhoid fever contracted
on the transport that bought him and
his regiment from Cuba. He was in
two of the fercest engagements around
Santiago, the first at Guasmus, about
eight miles from the city, and the
| second at the storming of the heights
| of San Jnan. In the latter engage
| ment he was struck on the cheek by
piece of shell and felled to the ground.
The wound was not serious and in a 4
short time he recovered from the stun
and resumed the fight. He bears,
however. the mark of the shell, and
will to his dying day. Mr.. Mcneil
has no complaints to make OF the
treatment accorded him while camped |
on Cuban soil. His short service (
as d regular had taught him
not to expect feather beds at night |
and pie three times day, and he was
not disappointed. He insists that so
far as lis observation went, no one
bad any reasonable right to complain,
except on one ground. For some
reason no adequate provision was made
for carrying the wounded men to the
rear and all of these unfortunates who
were able to crawl were obliged to get
to the hospital, seven miles to the
rear, by their own effort. He saw one
poor fellow who had made his way
back after being shot through the
the breast. Those who were
not able to 60 back of their own
effort were for the time left to
perish. This was a great evil al
though Mr.. Mcneil did not know if
under the circumstances it could have
been avoided. He knew nothing OF
