10 FORTlER DEAD.
Pioneer, Well Known to Pioneers
Here, Passes Away.
From Granite Tribune.

From Granite Tribune.
Joseph Fortier died at his home in
Granite Falls last Sunday at IL o'clock
noon, after lingering illness of near
ly two years, surrounded by his fami-
ly and few friends. Death came like
peaceful dream and closed the earth
ly career of one of the best known
residents of this county who leaves be-
hind multitude of friends to mourn
his demise.
There was perhaps no man within
the confines of this county better &C.
quainted with it's inhabitants than the
deceased as he has resided here since
the county was organized and has
been honored by repeated election to
the office of sheriff and one of the west
end towns was named in his honor
when this became a county. He has
travelled over every foot of territory
embraced in the twenty-three town.
ships many times during his long SER
vice as a public officer and the fact
that his duty was always we'll per-
formed gave him the confidence of the
people, which he always enjoyed, and
will live in their memory while time
lasts.
Associated with Mr.. Davidson he
started the first store opened in Gran
tie, but on being elected sheriff he
closed out his business and gave his
undivided attention to his duties
which we're arduous by reason of the
scarcity of settlers in those days, and
it was no uncommon thing for him to
travel long distance without meeting
person or finding a habitation.
The date of his location in this city
we do not remember, but it was early
in the '7Os that he moved from Sioux
Agency here and has ever since con-
tinued to reside bere-the last few
years being engaged in selling fruit

Why is 1t,

If catarrh is blood disease, as some
claim, that physicians frequently adj
wise change of air and climate to those
suffering? Catarrh is a climate affec-
ton, and nothing but a local remedy
or a change of climate will cure it.
Ely's Cream Balm is so efficient as to
do away with the necessity of leaving
home and friends, causing instant re-
lief and is real cure of catarrh.

It is to be noted that the southern
limit of the territory coded by Russia is
81 deg. and 40 minutes north latitude.
This naturally brings to mind a matter
that in the early part of the century
was made q strong argument in a
presidential election. The northern
boundary of the vast territory bought
of France in 1905, known as the
Louisiana purchase, was the subject of
contention between the United States
ald Great Britain for very long
time, the latter claiming the 10th
parallel from the summit of the
Rocky Mountains to the Pacigc coast,
while the United States insisted on
$40 north. There are doubtless
some living who remember the cam
paign cry of "544O or fight" At that
time the Hudson Bay Co. had
almost supreme control of affairs in
that section of the country and had
the best knowledge of the value of
the district in dispute and largely
through it's influence in connection
with want of appreciation on the
part of the United States, the demand
of Great Britain prevailed. The re-
suit was to give British Columbia a
shore line and outlet on the Pacific
for five and half degrees of latitude,
when on the other hand had had the
United States held firm to the original
demand there can be no little doubt
but that we would now control the
entire coast line on the Pacific from
Mexico to Behring strait.
The principal settlement in Alaska
and headquarters for the operations of
the fur company was at New Archan
gel, now Sitka, in the island of Sitka,
at which place possession of the island
Sitka the territory was formally made
over to military force of the United
States under command of Gen. L. H.
Rosson on October 9th, 1867.
The government of Alaska from
1867 to 1884 was more nominal than
real being simply military possession.
A district government was established
in May, 1884, consisting of a governor,
marshall and court appointed by
the president and up to this time no
steps have been taken to organize a
territorial government.
1t would seem the part of wisdom
on the part of congress to defer the
organization as territory until the
present influx Of population and a
more efficient means of transportation
shall make organization more practica-
BILE. Organization means survey OF
country, the right to vote, elect officers
organize counties, levy takes, vote
bonds, and perform very many of the
functions of older and more stable
communities that in the case of Alaska
might prove disastrous.
imagine many of your readers feel
somewhat disappointed to read a
communication on Alaska and find
nothing about gold. Well, with your
permission we will speak of the
physical and climatic condition of the
country and it's possibilities in another
letter. 0. B. TURRELL.

CHICAGO MARKET, MARCH 20,

There was big boom in everything
to-day on the generally accepted idea
that the present status of the difficulty
with Spain will end in peaceful so u
ton.
Stocks, grain and provisions shared
equally in the advance, but the grain
markets we're particularly buoyant.
July wheat sold easily above 81 cents,
July corn advanced sharply, and Sep
TENDER wheat reached 78 cents nearly
an hour before the session closed. The
reason for the brisk rise in stocks was
obvious, and the grain markets fol-
lowed in sympathy. This was es-
pecially true of the May corn option,
which rose to 2944, cent up from the
quotations of few days ago, although
it is admitted that there is still lot
of liquidation to come. Oats we're
weak and strong by turns, rise and
fall of cent in this market being en-
tirely out of the ordinary, but the buy
ing fever was on, and in everything
there was not alone covering of shorts
to start the advance but plenty of
buying for long account, which means
a great deal coming after the long Pc
Rod of depression that caused the
public to practically abandon the mar
ket. Provisions we're weak and drag
ging Saturday on poor buying and
talk of yellow fever, but to-day all
this was thrown to the winds and pric-
es went up in sky-rocket fashion and
stayed there. Advices on yellow fever
to Schwartz, Dupee & Co. are that
much apprehension exists in the
south, and the concensus of opinion
there is that there will be more or less
of the disease during the coming sum
mer.

the point there would have been no opportunity to do so, for Johnson en- tered the room, staggering under the weight of one of the cases. He gave me his customary curt nod, and carefully deposited his burden upon a table. La mar stepping to the door and beckoning ne to follow him before 1 could more than guess at what the contents of the case might be. But walked home that night possessed by a notion that, when the cover was removed, small arsenal might be found slowed away in the box, designed to supplement the brace of revolvers I had bought for Lamar soon after our coming to the shore.

An Ou are rambler until late, he answered. Startled as he must have been by the interruption, he spoke with all his usual deliberate coolness.
 "Yes; I was wakeful and happened to walk this way. Hearing unusual sounds, I pushed on to investigate. There was chance, you know, that a reinforcement might be acceptable
 There was nothing in his manner to indicate whether the explanation satis- fled him.
 Johnson brings a small cargo, sup plies that might cause talk if obtained through the village" said he. ''He will place them presently in the house.
 An excellent plan. He buys them at the larger ports up the coast, I sup pose"
 "Yes.''
 ''There seems very little danger that anyone should stumble upon you while the goods are being landed" said I, ''but my experience tonight shows that it is possible. It might be advisable to post a sentry, for if a rumor of these midnight labers got about it would set the village by the ears."
 Thereafter the precaution shall be taken. Remain little," he added, as was about to go. 'I, too, am wakeful. Let us converse"
 He led the way to the front of the house and seated himself on the door step.
 How of your medical practice?" he asked, when I had found resting place near him.
 I told him of Mrs. Loring's arrival and of the probability that she would remain a considerable time in the neigh borhoood. She was an old ac- quaintance, added. That I had met her on the voyage from Rio seemed to be a detail which it was as well not to mention. Had he learned it he might have displayed livelier interest in tie matter. As it was, however, he mere lv said that it was to be hoped that she would recover her health, and then changed the subject to remark that he desired me to bring him considerable sum of money in day or two.
 Tt is for Johnson" he condescended to explain.
 NOiS "Cil, you Sildll ll<tNC I. By the way, is your telegraph line to his house still in working order?'
 .'Yes; but it is not telegraph, only a simple signal" he answered. Enter, if you choose, and will elucidate it.''
 We stepped into the iving-room, on one wall of which he showed me knob, so tiny as hardly to be noticeable. By pressing it, he explained, metal disk was made to fall at the other erd of the line, conveying the intelligence to the fisherman that he was to hasten to his employer. If he was absent from home, one of his brothers would re- spond to the summons.
 But if all three are away?" asked
 That will not occur" he replied, de- cidedly.
 But in case they are asleep?"

 Here was further illustration of the ingenuity the man displayed in pre- paring for possible dangers. But, if he had taken the pains to insure sup port from Johnson in case of need, why had he not arranged a method of calling upon me also? Rather piqued,. in spite of my dislike for him, I asked, bluntly, if some signal could not be devised
 Tt is not a necessity" said he, dryly. And even had I been disposed to argue
