CAPE NOME.
Incredible Richness of This Distri1
Fully Verified by Late
Reports.

We're inclined to believe that he re.
ports OF splendid riches found in the
Cape Nome beaches were simply fairy
tales circulated by the transportation
companies. But the arrival last week
in Seattle of the Roanoke, with its
cargo of gold dust, gave the final assur'
ance that Cape Nome is quite as rich
as it is painted. This famous treasure
ship brought to Seattle more than two
millions of dollars in the pretty yellow
dust. The purser had charge of ST..
300, 900 only; but many of the passen'
gers kept their private boards in theii
own immediate care, So that modest
estimate of the combined wealth of the
returning gold seekers aboard the vesse'
may be placed at 81, 000. 900, exclusive
OF that in the purser's care. 1t is prob
able that the real amount went ia,
above this estimate. Every passenger
had his bag OF dust, heavy or light, ac
cording to the amount of energy he ex
pended while in the golden North.
1t is safe to prophesy that the STAN
pede to the Cape Nome district next
spring will be more eager than the
klondike rush of few years ago.
Cape Nome has a weighty advantage
over the Klondike region in that trav.
elers to the former camp have no peril
Gus river and mountain travel to &C

steamer directly on the gold beach
The Roanoke was but 10 days on the
way down from the Cape, and sh,
spent day and half of this time a
Dutch Harbor.
No expensive tools are required tt
dig out the gold from the beach. Al
one of the Roanoke passengers ex.
pressed it: Nome is the greatest coun.
try on the earth. Every mans banl
account lies in the beach. All he ha,
to do when he is out of money is to &C
down to the beach and dig it out. J

About two thousand people will
winter at Nome. Work has mostly
stopped on the claims there, as the
creeks and the beach are freezing up.
The people were engaged in building
houses when the Roanoke left. Lum.
Der sells there for 5000 per thousand
feet. However, money is cheap, and
nobody grumbles. Many Improvements
are being projected for the new com.
munity. One of the most important is
the wharf which is to be put in next
spring at the Cape Nome landing. Al
present vessels have difficulty in land,
ing supplies on the beach. A com.
pany has also been formed to provide
the city of Nome with waterworks,
bringing pure water from far back in
the hills. This will solve the typhoid
fever problem, as that disease has been
caused by impure water. This water
system will be in operation not later
than July 20. Electric lights and
street railways are to be provided,
companies having been organized to
secure these Improvements.

Wants the Reason.

Prof. ID. j. Barton, of the Univer-
sity, was removed by the Board oil
Regents at it's last meeting in Par
kersburg. We have always taken
the action of the Board as being the
best thing to be done. but hereto
fore some good reason has been as
signed for such action. In this case
no reason has been assigned and it
is surprise to all who are in the
least acquainted with the affairs OF
our leading Educational Institution.
From the time Prof. Barton first en-
tered the school he has been one OF
its most popular instructors. So
well has he discharged his duties
that his course was satisfactory to
the President and at the solicitation
of the President the Board increased
Prof. Barton's salary at its June
meeting. This fact increases the
surprise the friends of the Universi
ty feel when they learn that he was
summarily removed at the meeting
held last month, and they are anx
ious to know the reason for so i'm
portant an action. They certainly
have right to know and we hope
the reason will be made public. We
understand that the Board cannot
remove any professor unless for
cause. -Fairmont Index.

JUBILEE OF THE ODD FELLOWS.
Membership Over 1000, 900 and Rev.
enue 50. 766, 393-The Order Increas-
ing and Spreading.


DETROIT, Sept 20.-The golden
jubilee celebration of the Grand Lodge
OF Odd Fellows began this morning
with reception in the opera house.
The first business session was held in
Harmonic hall. The report of Grand
Sire Albert S. Pinkerton announced
that on December 81, 1898, the sub
ordinate lodge membership was $780,
961, and 100, 007 sisters were enrolled
in the Rebekah lodges. The finan-
cial resources were largely derived from
the sale Of supplies, and as the expen-
ditures exceed the revenues, Mr.. Pin
kerton believed that the remedy lay
n a reduction of the amount paid for
mileage.
Grand Secretary Frank Grant re-
ported that the increase in all
branches of the order during 1898 was
80, 225. The expenditure for relief
during the year was SO, 422, 9S6, and
the revenue was So, 1856, 393. The
total of invested funds is $27, 1856, 241 .
New charters have been asked for in
Hawaii, Newfoundland, the Neither
lands and Alaska; favorable reports are
coming from Cuba, and new lodge
is to be instituted at Buenos Ayres.
Resolutions reducing the mileage to
s cents per mile for delegates living
east of the Rocky mountains and 10
cents for those living west of the
mountains were referred to special
committee. A resolution ordering
the abolishing of "visiting cards" was
referred to the resolutions committee.
Fifty-six women, the largest degree
team in the history of Odd Fellowship
exempllfled the Rebekah degree.

BEATS THE WORLDS RECORD.
Grafton Mans Carrier Pigeon Beats
All Records.

The most wonderful flight ever
made by carrier pigeon was complet-
ed August 20, when red checker No.
1853, owned by r. e. Blaney, OF Graf
ton, w. Va. reached home after a
flight OF thirty days from Denver. a
distance of $50 miles, air line, beat
ing the worlds record for long-fight
by carrier pigeons by 1873 miles.
r. e. Blaney is one Of the greatest
pigeon fanciers in the world, and has
been striving for sometime for the
worlds record for long flights by his
birds. Last June he turned loose a
lot OF red and blue checkers at Kansas
City which reached home safely after
fight of over 800 miles. Later he
had lot turned loose at st. Louis,
all OF which reached home safely. 1t
was Mr.. Blaney's intention to send
some OF the birds to Denver that took
part in the fight from Kansas City,
but they were caught in storm near
Carlisle, ILL.,, In subsequent trial
from Kansas City, and were lost. He
then selected two birds out OF the lot
that had made the flight from st.
Louis to Grafton, one red checker,
No. 1853, and the other a blue check
er, No. "a.
Mr.. Blaney sent his birds to j. G.
Burdett of 2503 Fifteenth street, Den
yer an old friend. Mr. Burdett turn
ed the birds loose at 9:30 O'Clock Sun
day morning, July 30, the following
message was inserted in the band tube
OF each bird:
"Sunday, July 30, 9:30 a. m, clear
and sunny, light west wind. Wit
nesses, Mrs. Burdett, Mrs. Estes, of
Colorado; Mrs. L. Il. Spencer, o. G.
Spencer, w. B. Keane, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. r. Matlock."
In these letters to Mr.. Burdett and
to Mr.. George Saues, secretary of the
Denver Homing club, Mr.. Blaney says
the red checker reached home in good
condition August 30, after covering
the distance in just thirty days.
Following the loosing Of the birds
here, Mr.. Sauer wrote to Mr.. Blaney
and an effort will now be made to
have him send some Of his best birds
to the Denver Homing club to loose
for him In an effort to beat the record
just made.
The best previous long distance
flight was 1,2l2 miles The red check
er which has beaten that record made
an average of "A miles day for the
