DEAR SIR-Perhaps some of the many
readers of the TIMES would like to read some
thing about the finest wheat country earth.

north of Fargo, the banks of Red river.
This river forms the boundary between North
Dakota and MINI.
The valley on each side is very fertile for 80
or 40 miles back and now is sea of waving
grain-oats, wheat, and barley. The ground is
perfectly level.
The farmers are just commencing TO harvest
their wheat. Some have several sections in
wheat. The most extensive wheat growers
are the Grandin brothers whose farme is 3
miles wide and II miles long. They use IS
binders. Next comes Mr.. Hurley with tract
4 miles square. We sold him McCormic
machines.
Many farmers have from two to four harvest
ers. There is no fruit raised here. Have not seen
an apple, peach, cherry, pear tree since
came.
The farmers here are Swedes. Norwegians
and French, and are very frugal and industri-
Gus. Halstad is town Of 1900 people, having
large school house, 3 churches, 1 mill, large
elevators, bank and no saloon.
There are Americans here now-the profess
sor, the Methodist preacher and your humble
servant. SO You that if / want TO talk TO
any one have to be in good company. The
farmers think the wheat will make IS bushels

In 1889 one of the most sensational.

Althea Hill Terry had brought o

Sharon, California multimillionaire
Justice Field was on the bench. The
outcome of the case was unfavorable
to the plaintiff, and engendercd in hel
feelings of hatred of the jurist. This
eliminated in her attempt to chastise
the aged justice in the dining hall of a
depot eating house at Tathrop. Cal.

been her attorney in the suit against
Sharon, and who afterwards married
her, interfered and it semed that he
was trying to do violence to Justice
Fields person. David Maggie, United
States deputy marshal, drew revolver
and shot and killed Judge Terry. Ma.
gle was acquitted. There was, how
ever, for many years intense bitter
ness between the friends of the two

Fields family discouraged his discus
sion of California topics or the perusal
of California newspapers.

ACTION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
United states Government will Not
Stand Exactjons of Torres,

Washington, April 1.-THE cruiser
Detroit left La Guayra yesterday for
Port Limon, Costa Rica, where she will
receive instructions as to her further
course, the cable to Nicaraguan ports
being interrupted through the arbi-
trary action of General Torres.
Nothing has been heard ait the state
despartment from its representatives
in Nicaragua since Consul Sorsby ca
bled from Port Limon three days ago
an account of Torres action and APP
pealed for warships.
The Detroit is due at Port Limon
Tuesday, and unless there is decided
change for the better in the situation
in Nicaragua, she will push on with
all speed to Bluefields4 The govern
ment is determined not to tolerate the
extortion practiced by Torres upon
the American merchants there.
A disquieting feature of the situa.
ton is the semi-endosement by Pres
ident Zelaya of Torres contention
that he has a right to collect duties
which have already been paid by the
Americans to the de fslcto government
of Bluefields, under General Reyes,
the leader of the late insurrection.
The Nicaraguan governments con
tention is that foreign residents of
Bluefields having been warned by the
government not to pay custom duties
to the insurgents cannot now claim
exemption from recollection by the
government of duties so paid.
The state departments however, has
satisfied itself that the insnr4cnt gov
eminent at Bluefields, under General
Reyes, was a de facto government i'm
the full sense of the term and also that
the merchants paid the duties under
absolute compulsion. Therefore it is
determined not to tolerate Il rc-coliec-
ton of these duties on the part of the
I Nicaraguan government. IT is pointed
out that if the Venezuelan govern
ment's contention is correct. and tho
duties were illegally paid to the insur-
gents, then President Zehya's govern
ment is fully responsible TO the mer-
chants for every cent collected by the
| insurgents.

ICE GORGE CAUSES DEATH.
Four Persons Drowned and Eieb,
Missing at Glendive, Mont.

Four Persons Drowned and Eight
Missing at Glendive, Mont
Glendiye, Mont, April 11.-An ice
gorge in the Yellowstone river at this
point caused that stream to overflow
Saturday night, drowning four per-
sons. Eight more are missing. Three
spans of the bridge are washed out,
causing a loss of $4,000; the Northern
Pacific tracks are inundated and posi-
bly, washed away for some distance,
and the loss to live stock by drowning
will involve large sum. The dead per-
sons are:
MRS. r. w. SNYDER, wife of a
ranchman.
MISS NELLIE REAGAN, her niece.
MISS ROSE WYBECHT, a visitor to
the Snyder ranch.
EUGENE F. O'CONNOR.
The missing:
James Sullivan, wife and six chill
dren.
The ice began moving at 1880 in the
evening and continued flowing until
$3.50, when it formed gorge. The
Snyder party, noticing the back water,
started for the Northern Pacific
tracks, hoping thus to escape drown
ing, but before they covered half the
distance the water was waist deep and
they took refuge in a tree. O'Connor
was the first to be washed from the
tree. Mrs. Snyder the second and Miss
Wybecht third. A huge piece of ice
struck the tree and broke it in two,
carrying off Miss Reagan. 1t is thought
that the family of James Sullivan, wife
and six children, were swept away by
the overflow, as no trace of them can
be found.

GOVERNOR GENERAL and
GARRISON FOR GUAM
They Will Soon Sail on the
Cruiser Yosemite Via the
Suez Canal Route.

He Will Rule Over the 10000 In.
habitants of the Ladrones--
Garrison Consists of
1875 Marines.

New York, April 12.-It is expected
that the converted cruiser Yosemite,
which is to carry the governor-gen-
eral of Guam, Captain Richard p.
Lenry. of the United States navy, and
his garrison of marines to the La
drones. will sail within the next ten
days by way of Sucz.
Besides the governor-genera and his
official family, the Yosemite will car
ry a garrison of 1875 marines under
Major Hilton. She will also have
brass band of ten men, which is to give
concerts in front of the governors
palace. The government will use two
buildings in Agano which the Spanish
officials occupied. The palace will be
Governor Learys residence and Il
building known as the Quadrangle will
have IL garrison of marines. Governor
Leary will rule over the 10000 inhab-
tants of Guam, which is practically the
only inhabited island of the Ladrones.
OF these 1000 are foreign and the 9th
ers natives and mixture of Spanish
and Malay blood. The Yosemite is to
remain at Guam for some time. Cap
tain Idle is ordered to make survey
of the island and report as to the har-
bors. The government has allowed
Captain Leary $4,000 to maintain his
establishment as governor. 1t desires
to make an impression on the people
of Guam of the wealth and strength
of the nation under whose flag they
are to live. Captain Leary takes with
him on the Yosemite pretty little
steam launch. The Yosemite is loaded
down with a quantity of stores. In
her hold is distilling plant, which
will insure pure water to the American
garrison on the island. Light summer
furniture for the palace and the Quad
-angle is also in the cargo.

The Sea Kings.

Since the Golden Hind went round the
Horn and circled a world unknown,
Wherever the tides of God have beat and
the winds of God have blown.
From the sunrise seas to the shutdown
seas, by the storm and the spindrift
whirled
The sons of the men who sailed with
Drake have ruled the water world.
And whether they sail from Plymouth
Hoe or out of the Golden Gate.
They are brothers In blood linked heart
to heart and to resistess fate;
For the quenchless ardor to rule the seas,
which time can never Stake,
Makes the same blood race through
Dewey's veins that throbbed from
the heart of Drake.
And all the way out of Trafalgar. down
into Manila bay,
The Anglo-Saxon has sailed and fought
and struggled and won his way;
And wherever the tides of God may beat
and the winds of God may blow
It will be tomorrow as 1t is today and 1t
was in the long ago!
