The American river has some good

returned from a two weeks trip to
the north fork Of the Forty-mile river
and staked one claim. I will pros

by Great Northern cruiser. and
joined a party that was going two
days further on to the north forks Of
tho Forty.mile. We had lots Of
moose meat to eat and was glad to
get some bacon when got back to

The program Of the naval
board, which will be submitted to
congress at it's next session, calls
for eighteen new ships Of way, Of
various classes, a total cost $685.
100000. Without undertaking to
criticise the program at this time,
it may be pointed out that this
amount is considerably less than
the cost Of carrying on the recent
war for one month, and that the
same war demonstrated the utility
of a strong navy in shortening
the time of hostile operations.
Had it not been for our navy that
War would not be ended now, nor
for many months to come. Hence
it will be seen that if we are to
haye any more wars, the contem-
plated expenditure will be in the
interests of economy.-Philadel-

1 MANY NEW SETTLERS.
70 the, Northwest
This Year Is Un-
precedentod.

Pioneer Press: + l"We have
never had heavier sales and never
larger receipts than during the
past years." said Eastern Land
Agent W,lsey, of the Northern
Pacific. yesterday, after his return
from an extensive tour in the
West. "And we will beat the rec.
ord next year"
Most settlement has gone to
Western Minnesta AMI Eastern
North Dakota, though there has
been very heavy immigration OF
Russians into Western North Da-
kota. There has also been quite a
heavy settlement from Eastern
states into Washington.
During the fiscal year ending
June 80, $500 families. according
to a statement of Mr.. Wilsey
principally Germans Norwegian'
and Swedes, have come from 10 va
and other sections to this portion
of the Northwest. Most of these
people have been renters, paying
81 per acre for occupied land, for
which amount they can buy land
outright in these sections at the
reduced prices.
Special inducements offered by
the company have been low prices,
easy terms and cheap transporta-
tion. Settlers now pay from 81 to
IS per acre, whereas they formerly
paid from 81 to $40. Actual set.
tiers now get contracts covering
six to ten years, where as they
formerly got about half that al
lowance. They pay one-tenth
down, and interest has decreased
from 10 10 6 per cent. Trans
portation is now one-half the
former fare, and charges on ma.
chiDery, household goods, etc., are
one.half what they formerly were.
These inducements, together with
the return Of prosperity, account
for the tremendous immigration.
''The crop this season is im'
m ense," said Mr.. Wilsey, land
while it is no '95 crop, it is ex.
cellent in quality: TIE country
has meyer been in better shane,
and 1899 will be our banner year.

The largest single source of
revenue under the tariff is sugar,
and about $50, 5000 a year is to
be obtained under existing rates.
Bat the sugar product of Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Philippines, and
Hawaii will be admitted free of
duty into the United States.
What this means, even when the
figures are taken from previous
years, little estimate will show.
The average importation Of foreign
sugars into the United States each
year IS 1900, 0OO,0 900 pounds. Of
this quantity Cuba alone has in
the past supplied more than one
half; and from the other islands
named. Hawaii excepted, enough
sugar can be obtained to bring the
quantity to 200, 500, 5000 pounds,
or five.eighths of the whole i'm
portation. This means the wiping
out of five.eighths of the sugar
revenue, or some $4,000, 900,
v hich must be made up from other
sources. A still further reduction
must be made for other products
from these islands-such
as tobacco, hemp, and fruits
making the prospect of heavier
taxation at home still more prob.
able, as we'll as assuring the
permanency of the internal taxes
now imposed.-From "The New

huntsville Ala, Sept. 19-Sergt. R. w.
Ataadfourd of Company NJ was arrested
here to-day on the charge of bigamy. The
charge is made by Miss Bessie Brandon,
formerly of Tampa, Fla, who, up to a
few DAYS ago, thought herself Mrs. Mead
fourd
When Meadfourd went to Tampa with
the Second Georgia ne met there Miss
Brandon. The latter is said to be an at
tractive young lady of some means. She
and Meadfourd were old acquaintance, he
having formerly known her when he ran
as baggagemaster to Tampa on one of the
roads. Meadfourd paid assiduous atten-
ton to the young lady during the stay of
the regiment at Tampa. Some time be-
fore the departure of the regiment from
Tampa, the young lady made a trip North
IN company with her guardian. Core
spondence doubtless continued, as when
Meadfourd arrived here with the regi-
uent, Miss Brandon was here awaiting
him with her guardian. The pair went
before Catholic priest and were married,
after which the young ladys guardian re-
turned to Tampa.
It became known at the camp that
Meadfourd was newly married, and his
wife visited him frequently, and this
caused some surprise to those of his &C
quaintances, who understood that he had
wife already at Savannah. 1t is said
that the young lady's suspicious were
aroused by Meadfourd's unwillingness TO
have the marriage made public. She be-
gan Investigations and soon satisfied her
self that her fears were only too well
founded.
The result was the arrest of Meadfourd
to-day on a warrant for bigamy. Mead
fourds Savannah wife is a sister of the
Zeigler brothers of Efhngham county, who
created such a sensation there a few years
ago by the killing of Sheriff BROKER, and
the successful manner in which they de-
fed arrest.
Meadfourd is Canadian, but we'll
known in Savannah. He is a Sampson in
physical strength, and probably the most
powerful man in the regiment. Mead
fourd enlisted in Company Nj, and bore a
good record. He has been twice promoted
recently, first to corporal and then to ser
geant.
