OLD WHEAT ON HAND
In Sedgwick County Accord
ing to Actual Figures.
HALF A MILLION BUSHELS
Present Crop Estimated at 60
Per Cent of Last Years.
HALF A MILLION BUSHELS

An estimate based upon actual figures
secured by personal visits TO every wheat
bin in Attica and Garden Plain town
ships by a gentleman representing the
Wichita NEn and Elevator company puts
the amount Of old wheat on hand in
Sedgwick county at more than half mill
ion bushels. The actual amounts in At
tea and Garden Plain townships by
measurement Of bins IS 10000 bushels.
There are nine wheat townships in the
county, and putting the average Of each
at 5000 bushels the amount Of old wheat
on hand in this much Of the county would
be 540c 600 bushels. The work Of ascer-
taining the exact amount viii be finished
IN thees nine townships, but the estimate
given Is sufficient to snow that this coun-
y would not be in any strait # the new
crop should be an entire failure Mr.. W.
2. Green, who is compiling the figures,
says that the present crop upon which
figures are also being taken, viii amount
TO about 65 per cent Of last years crop
barring hail and Ike damages to grow
ing crops. Mr.. Green is Of the opinion that
taking al the county there IS nearly or
quite a million bushels OF the best wheat
raised last year in the farmers bins now.
The county could live two years on what
It has left over from last year alone, and
greater af1uence than this Is not known
anywhere else in the world. This wheat
IS not held in large quantities by just
few. The names OF holders and the
amount they have on hand are given to
show how Il runs, which Is evidence that
the grain IS still IN the possession Of the

wherever that may he, and after arduous
toll finds that the fish hat he left un-

1t will be a pleasure to the hosts Of
friends of Mr.. Clayton to know that such
an evidence of appreciation of he
was III life has been given, and, as said
above, the credit is chiefly due to Mr..
Goliath
Surely, such a recognition of what he
was in life was due to the dead He
made his walk through life, not much
known except to a comparatively few
people, but those who knew him we'll will
recall his lovable traits and the sterling
manhood of the man. He had no early
advantages, but he was born a genuine
child of nature: he seemed to know in
st%inctively the alphabet of the earth; this
he formed into words, from them
wrote the worlds history of it's own crea-
ton and all the incidents and mysteries
of it's long voyage through space. Then
in his life, while shy and unpretentious,
he was as brave as Julius Caesar and
as faithful as are the fixed stars. In all
his acts there was a manlinesS which
never faltered and IN integrity which
was interviewer into the very fiber of his
being. But his delight was to wander
away from men and to study new leaves
that nature turned for him, and in this
way the great hills became merely elder
brothers., the trees We're his close friends,
and he knew the voices of the streams
as they babbled on their way. 1t is good,
then, to think that his final couch is
spread on the banks of the broad Will
Jeanette, on the heights watched over by
Mount Hood and that he sleeps where
flowers will bloom all the year above him,
and thai his sleep will be as peaceful as
his life was blameless and true.

Monument Erected Over the
Grave Of Prof. Clayton.
WAS WELL KNOWN HERE
His Predictions as to the Future oil
Butte Proved to Be Re-
markedly True.

All the old timers of Butte have kindly
recollections of Prof. j. E.. Clayton, who
made Butte his home about 20 years ago.
Professor Clayton was a mining expert
of no mean ability. He mad a thorough
investigation of the mineral possibilities
of Butte. and while other experts were
deprecating the value of the ore bodies,
Professor Clayton's estimates were al
ways just and reasonable. 1t was owing
to his reports that many of the cope
properties We're opened up. His report on
the Bell mine, then a prospect, and now
one of the most valuable of the Anaconda
properties, was a marvel of exactness.
and his reports on other properties have
since been shown to be equally true.
Some years g the Inter Mountaln
suggested that the people of the west
should erect a suitable over
his crave. He met his death by the over
turning of a stage coach in the Occur
d'Alenes 10 years ago and was buried
near Portland. Ore. His many friends
throughout the west will be pleased to
learn that the monument has been erect
ed.
The Salt Lake Tribune has the follow
ing tribute to the eminent mining man.
which will be read with interest by the
many old time friends of Professor Clay
tom:
To Mr.. L. L. Goliath we are indebted
for a beautiful picture of the monument
over the grave Of Professor Joshua n.
Clayton. 1t is a striking shaft; the ped
estal is of Wasatch granite, the shaft OF
Barre granite: it is all about thirteen
feet in height, and is situated seven miles
from Portland, Ore, in the Riverside
cemetery, ON the banks of the William
cite. lust such a place as the old scient
would have selected. He died from a
stage accident in the Occur d'Alene coun-
try. The is due to the exer-
tons of Mi. Goliath chiefly. He raised
81, 100 here and sent up the block of gran
lite for the pedestal; the Occur dAlene
miners raised 5000 and the monument
cost 81 1900. The inscription on the monu-
ment is as follows:
