The most of the Alaska clothing and
wearing apparel is made Of bright colors
yellow and red aud blue and nearly all
the colors, of the rainbow. Well, on that
vessel there is the queerest cargo I ever
saw. Upin the bows they have tied
about 200 dogs of various colors, sizes,
breeds and t~emperaments, and they are
all barking and yelping and fighting all
the time. Next to them they have
rugged up a lot of stalls and have a lot
of horses ranged along one side. This
is all on the deck, of course. On the
other side they have a lot of oxen, and
down below they have a lot of Angora
goats and in another place they have q
few elk. These are all intended for
packing the goods over the trails. Well,
the passengers are stored away some
where below. I did not dare to try to
find out where, because I have a we'll
grounded suspicion that a lot of them
will have to sleep down under the horses,
as they did once or twice last summer
on other boats during the rush. At the
e end of the vessel they have hung
up a lot of dressed beef. the extra supply
that they carry to feed the large number
of passengers. Piled up on the hurricane
deck and tied on in every available bit
of space are such things as Yukon sleds
every man has a sled-snow shoes,
tents, and other articles that many
passengers think they will want. 1t is
taken altogether, a queer conglomera-
ton. Down on the dock among the
crowd one can see all phases of human
nature. Some are weeping, some are
laughing, with their eyes shining with
excitement, some are very quiet, some
are boisterous and noisy, and nearly all
of them are quite crazy. AS I left the
dock 1 saw two fellow fighting because
one had neglected to check their bagg-
age. And the dogs keep up their
pandemonium of unearthly yelps. And
for variety there are always a few
Siwash Indians hanging around watch
ing the fun. It is we'll worth laying off
a day to see. 1t is interesting to watch
the different effect the excitement has
on different people. The last few
steamers from Skaguay and Dyea have
brought down a few Klondikers each
trip, who brought out with them various
sums of money. This has occurred so
often that now when a vessel returning
from Alaska is reported this side of PORT
Townsend, bound for Seattle there is a
grand rush for the wharf, to see her and
see who came out,

Rev. George Basset Dead.

Washburn Leader: On information
brought down from Fort Berthold reser-
walton, we learn of the death and burial
of the agency head farmer-George
Bassett. Bassett wal a half breed of
the Gros Ventre tribe. His father was
Captain Bassett of the regular army,
who was stationed at Fort Berthold in
1866. While there he had wooed and
won a Gros Ventre lass. The outcome
was the boy George, who in time was
sent east, and educated in a good
school. He came west as an ordained
minister but on it's practical application
felt that he had missed his calling. His
death was caused by consumption, and
although previously disposed that way,

and bitter storms of last February

chant, Drags-the-W Wolf, came Fremont

A Hypnotist In Straits.

Mandan Pioneer: "Prof." Gorden, the
hypnctist, who appeared in Mandan
sometime in November and gave a public
performance, has run his race and come
to grief. He,' who claimed to possess
the power to readily control the emo
tione and actions of others, was not
sufficiently endowed with that mes
meric OF subtle power to extract shining
shekels from the unsophistical and un.
willing, and the consequences were
that the professor went broke at
Billings. Montana. In other words the
hypnotist ran out Of money to pay his
railroad fare and hotel bills. When here
the "Prof." claimed Scotland as his
home, but it now transpires that his
domicile was at Grand Forks where he
followed the occupation of clerking in a
dry goods store. At Billings he pawned
his dress suit and other stage equip
ments and suddenly disappeared leav-
ing the boy who accompanied him,
without a farthing. This youth, who is
a son of a we'll known gentleman in
Grand Forks, arrived in the city, on his
way home Sunday morning. He was
recognized by a professional man of
this city to whom he told his story.
Being without money, friends and away
from home he was compelled to seek
charity, when the pangs of hunger
seized him, and to ride in box cars,
hidden away from the train men, in
order to reach his home.

First of the Farm Loans.


After several weeks of hard work, the
department of public instruction has
completed the clerical work and the
legal formalities of the farm loan bust
ness, and the first of the mortgages were
filed with the state auditor today. At
the last meeting of the board there were
several completed applications passed
upon, and the force in the department
of public instruction, which has chargs
of the clerical work in connection with
the loans has been busy for weeks,
sending out blanks for reports from
agents, checking up and filing the re-
ports, preparing blanks for notes and
mortgages and attending to the other
matters in connection with the farm
loan business, which is no small under
taking. Other work in the department
has been sidetracked for a time to com
plete the records in the farm loan mat
tiers, and the first of them have been
filed.
The number of applications filed with
the state auditor today for the issue of
warrants was nine, the aggregate
amount OF loans being $500.

Drainage Law Decided.

The supreme court has filed an opin-
ion in the matter of the state drainage
law, declaring it constitutional. The
law was passed several years ago,
giving counties power to appoint drain
age commissions, they to build bitches
where necessary for the reclamation of
swamp lands, assessing the owners of
property benefited for the cost of the
bitches. The case was prepared in
Cass county in order to test the law,
the commissioners of Grand Forks
county agreeing to pay hslf the ex-
penses of such a suit. The decision is
an important n and every county in
the Red River valley will be interested
in the decision of the higher court.
The county commissioners in the two
counties named held that warrants for
the building of bitches should be
drawn from the general fund. Several
taxpayers enjoined the board Of Cass
county from drawing such warrants
and the result was an appeal to the SUI
preme court. In that county as we'll as
in Pembina county a number of bitches
were built but never paid for, awaiting
the decision of the court. The general
effect of the decision is that bitches can
be built in the counties in which they
are deemed necessary to reclaim swamp
lands. The owners of the property
benefited will he required to pay as
sessments in order to cover the expense
Of such improvements.

Will be Asked.
Found Guilty..

r.
The jury in the case of Martin j. Viii
lers, on trial for the murder of August
Tromer, today returned a verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree and
fixed his punishment at Imprisonment
for life. A stay Of proceedings was
granted to February l, and a new trial
will probably be asked.
The trial of the case was completed
yesterday afternoon, and the jury went
out this morning after having heard the
arguments of counsel. The verdict in
the case was not unexpected, as the cir
cumstantial evidence against the man
was strong, and his record probably
told against him. The case has been
one of the most peculiar in the history
of the state in that the prisoner was
serving a sentence Of ten years in the
pen when the evidence of the murder of
the man whom the jury decides to have
been his victim, was discovered and he
a then removed from the pen to be
tried for the greater crime. 1t was Pc
culiar also, that Villers was serving a
sentence for a murderous assault on the
wife of his victim when the body of her
husband was discovered and he was put
! on trial for murder.

Economy in Buying Seeds.

Economy is not paying less money
for a thing than you expected to pay.
True economy is good management,
and about the worst management a
farmer a be guilty of is to buy cheap
seeds and thus cut the value of his
crops in half-or worse. A stream can
not flow higher than its source, and a
crop cannot be any better than it's seed.
Real seed economy is buying seeds that
peal the stamp of a house that is known
to be reliable; then the planter is abso-
lutely sure that he gets what he wants
and what he pays for. In every part Of
the country. dealers sell the absolutely
reliable seeds of D. NJ. Ferry & Co., Of
Detroit, Mich, which have given uni
form good results for the last forty.two
years. Ferry's Illustrated Seed Annual
for 1898, containing information that no
farmer or gardener afford to be with
