THE M. E. church was filled to tn.
doors again last Sunday evening.


One of the most interesting, compre-
hensive and instructive interviews re-
garding the Klondike gold fields, and
the experiences Of the miners, is given
by North Dakotan, Joseph DeLorge,
who returned to Pembina with fortune
of about $4,000, and left with his wife
and child for Seattle, whence they will
return to the gold fields. DeLorge has
been in Alaska for ten years, and has had
experience with every feature of the
country, and he gave two hours talk
to the Pembina PIONEER EXPRESS, which
contains more of interest and value than
the average Klondiker tells in month";

THE Customs sale on Saturday was
attended by good crowd, and as usual
Uncle Samuel received pretty fair prices
for his stuff, and we may add that much
was stuff, and consisted of articles taken
going through, but unclaimed by any,
body. Much Of it is not really dutiable,
and would go through all right if the
owner appeared to claim it. Some of
the things are taken from the express
company for the same reason. Some of
the goods, principally those seized from
smugglers, were really of considerable
value, and consisted principally of cloth,
clothing, underwear and yarn. A lot of
swet goods were not offered for sale
here on account of the prohibition laws
of the state. They will be transferred to
some other state and sold.

be in the field 200, 600 Alunteers. 81, 900

gineers and 5000. casalrymen taken
from the country at large. The plans
for the distribution of the troops have
been arranged for some time.
1t is stated that 90. 600 men
will be sent to the Philippines
at once, $4,000 to Porto Rico, 100, 600
to Cuba, while the remaining troo ps
will be modified at convenient points
to be used in the coast defense and re-
serve. The department has been anx-
ious to call for the additional Il, 600
troops from the country at large, thus
avoiding the delay and confusion
which resulted in the calls which were
made upon governors, but that has not

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA.
Half = billion Dsllars'worth Owned
Here = Amount Rapidly
IncFeasing.

In no country are there more dia-
monds to be found than in the United
States, according to the population. 1t
IN estimated by leading Maiden lane
New York; diamond dealer that there
are upward Of $500, ,0o0, 900 worth Of dia-
monds In tlfis country. Moreover, this
vast amount is increasing year by year.
: Until quite recently diamonds were
rarely cut in this country: but Ameri-
can inventors have developed process
for diamond cutting which Il vastly
superior to that done abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting
Is sometimes fully one-half, but the
value il increased probably more than
two-fold.
The Dutch city Of Amsterdam has
been the great dinmond-cutting center
Of the world from time immemorial,
and up TO few years ago over 12,00Q
people In that place were directly on
indirectly dependent upon this trade.
But It was not reasonable to suppose
that Amsterdam should continue to
hold monopoly Of diamond cutting.
As one Of the greatest importing cities
OF the world, New York gradually Of
fered inducements to diamond cutters
and the industry has been gradually
built up there that is now very flourish
ing and profitable. In 1855 Henry D.
Morse, Of Boston, Mass, invented ma.
chine for cutting and polishing dia-
monds, and since then improvements
have been made upon 1t that are very
important. The foreigners continue to
polish their stones by hand, but in this
country machinery Is largely used.
A famous gem expert places the total
value Of all the diamonds in the world
at over s1,oO0. .oOo, 900, Of which $780,
100000 worth are in the hands Of deal
crs, carried an stock. All Of the other
diamonds are in the hands Of private
individuals, and the question naturally
arises, Who owns them? This Is not
