BOYS ARE WELL.
Iohn Peterson Writes from San Fran
cisco of Conditions in Camp.

The following letter John Peterson
writes from the camp Of the North
Dakota soldiers at San Francisco:
In Camp, Presidio. Sept. 4, $780,
AS it is nearly a week since we came
here, it is about time 1 was writing,
but I have been so busy I haven't
had time to write before now. Had
a pleasant trip as far as my health
was concerned. There were several
deaths during the voyage. We We're
also in quarantine in Yokohoma for a
day. Most of us while we were in
Yokohoma took a trip up to Toxic.
United States. North Dakota dele
CATION came out in a launch while we
were in the harbor. My first night
ashore l was invited out to supper
with the North Dakota delegation. AL
so slept at the Palace hotel first night.
But the bed was so soft l could hardly
sleep. We are camped in Sibley tents;
each tent has room for sever men
and a small stove in the center. Our
food is splendid, have all kinds Of
fresh meat, milk and butter. I don't
think we will be mustered out much
before the last Of this month. The
COlOradoS get mustered out the 9Th of
this month.
Took in the theater last night; among
the principal attractions was a little
Hungarian military band which was
composed Of boys entirely. When the
little fellows sat on the chair their
feet didn't touch the floor. They
played splendid. Piatt left for home
last night. l saw him before he left.
Am still playing with the Idaho band.
We are known as the "Wind band,'
as wv" stands for Wyoming, 81" for
Idaho, and IN D" for North Dakota,
All three organizations are represented
in the band. We were in Yokohoma
the night they had their large fire,
which destroyed $5,OOO,OOO worth OF
property. Heard this morning the
Morgan City ran on some rocks near
Kohl, Japan. in the island of Ira. Ev-
erybody was saved. We passed tile
same place during the night.
l am still in splendid health and
have a good appetite. The weather
here is very cold and foggy during the
night.
Was over to Golden Gate park yes
terday and took in the concert. Was
glad to hear they had started on the
post. The Colorado and Idaho band
played for a banquet given by the sons
and daughters of the golden west fO1
the California boys. William J.
Bryan speaks here next Wednesday,
We expect to get paid this week some
time. All the boys are anxious to get
paid as they are ''broke" at present.
Received a large bundle Of Tribunes
yesterday, most Of which were dated
) in June.
; Most all the boys are in good health
Will McHugh is in the hospital Of
present, but hopes to be out before
long.

defraying of the expenses of trans
portation it is seen that the original
plan cannot be carried out exactly as
then decided upon. Other commun-
tiles in the state seem to be labOring
under the same embarrassment as Bis
marck, namely, what portion of the
funds shall be devoted to entertain
ment and what to transportation. To
settle the matter, the local committee
suggests that the soldiers pay their
WI fare home and after their return
to the state the funds that are col
lected through,the state for the trans
p%ortation fund be appropriated among
the companies in the regiment in pro-
pOrtatiOn to the number Of men from
each company that return, and thus
the boys be reimbursed for the money
expended for transportation home.
1t is believed this plan will result
more satisfactorily than the other, and
in the end it will amount to practically
the payment of the fares Of the men
who return. This suggestion will be
made by the local committee to the
other communities in the state in the
hope that they will act upon it.
The Minneapolis Journal says: Sena-
or UHnsbrough is quoted as expressing
qualification that the North Dakota
boys are not kickers. They are not
coming home complaining OF their SUI
periOr officers. or of their regimental
or company commanders; they are not
INDUCING in extensive dissertations on
the wisdom or the unwisdOm Of the
campaign or the policy of the govern
ment. They did their duty while in
the service and they are doing their
duty still in d%ignifiedly abstaining
from gratuitous and voluminOus COM
mcnt on matters for which they have
no responsibility. The record which the
North Dakota boys have made in this
respect, as in all others. is one which
their state has every reason to be
proud Of.

PENSION FIGURES.

The annual report of Col. II. Clay
Exams, the commissioner of pensions, for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1899, pre-
sents some interesting facts in conncc-
ton with the condition of the pension
roll and the operations Of the bureau.
The pension roll is made up of 753,45l
surviving soldiers and 237,415 widows or
dependent relatives, and G53army nurses.
10 them last year was paid $l3l, 6l7 ,9Gl,
which is SG4O,i96 more than was ever be-
fore paid out in pensions in one year.
The average of each class of pensioners
is also higher. The cost of bureaus, at.
torncy fees, ETC., brought the total
amount expended up to $l3S,l55,O52 or
sl,Gl4, 94S less than the appropriation.
The payments for pensions for the
year are classified as follows: General
law, 71,115, 703: Spanish war, S2S,GO6:
&C. of 1890, S6i,32l,4GO. The fees paid
to attorneys aggregated S476, 9G9, against
$4,000 in 1898.
The total number of claims filed dur
ing the year was 43, 765: allowed, 37,O77:
restored, 3,9l4: total allowances, includ-
ing increases, S9,O5l: total claims pend
ing on June 30, 1895, G35,O59; June 30,
1899, 477,239.
The total disbursements to pensioners
since 1866 aggregate s2,3S9,9lO,974. Dur.
ing the same period 515,49O,S96 went to
examining surgeons: s12,O92,17S to pen
sion agencies; and s52,237, 22S for salaries
and other expenses of the pension bu-
reau.
The number of pensioners living in
foreign countries is 1906, to whom is
paid s633,3O9. OF this number 2,139 live
in Canada; 415 in Ireland: 605 in Ger.
many and 321 in England.
There are four surviving widows anc
four surviving daughters Of the revolu
tionary war on the rolls.
Hiram Cronk, of northwestern New
York, is the only surviving pensionee
soldier OF the wal of 1912. He is $!
years of age. The number Of pensionec
widows of the war of 1872 is 1893.
On account of the Indian wars 1855
soldiers and $3.50 widows are pensioned
For service in the Mexican war there
are enrolled 9.204 soldiers and S,179 wild
ows.
On June 30, 1899, the total number o
pensioners was 991 $40, being lbs les
than on the same date in 1898.
The report says that considerable
progress has Deer made in bringing W
the back work in the bureau. The worl
on original claims is practically curren
and the work of ordering medical exam
nations in increase claims is bein,
pushed SO that very little time no
elapses between the dates of filing tn
claims and Of ordering the medical eS
aminations.
North Dakota has 1852 pensioner!

rapidly, and orders issued taken in
connection with the announcement Of
the dates Of the sailing Of several reg
iments from San Francisco, show that
the plans are well in hand and that
by the end Of the present month sew
eral regiments will be on the Pacific
bound for Manila. The Thirty-third
regiment has been ordered from the
barracks in Texas to proceed to the
coast. This makes five Of the regi-
ments that have been. sent to the Pa
cific station to make ready to-start for
the Philippines. About half Of Col.
Kennon's regiment, the Thirty-fourth,
which was mustered in the depart
ments of Dakota and Colorado, will
sail on the transport Columbia within
four days. The remainder of the reg
iment is going on the transport Bel
gian King, which sails on the 10Th
inst. 1t is expected that the trans
port Grant, which brought home the
North Dakota troops, will be ready
for a return voyage within two weeks,
and it will then take one of the new
volunteer regiments to Manila. AS
500 as the Sheridan returns with the
Thirteenth Minnesota it will be
promptly made ready for the return
trip, and regiments of volunteers will
be hurried to Luzon to take the place
of the regiments that are returning,
all OF which will be out of the island
by the middle Of the month.

AS Il result Of investigation made by
the experts of the agricultural depart
ment into conditions in the semi
arid regions of the west. especially on
the grazing lands, a bulletin will be
issued by the department that will he
of special interest to stockgrowers
throughout the west. In his COM
mentS upon the causes of the rise in
the price of beef and the falling off
in the number of cattle in the western
state, Secretary Wilson advances the
opinion that the running Of the ranges
for want Of proper water supply had
much to do with the results that have
obtained in regard to the beef supply.
The department is seeking to- furnish
information in regard to the utilization
of water purse by irrigation and
proper drainage to prevent the escap-
ing of alkali, which has destroyed the
roots Of grasses from over-grazed
ranges. The experts have concluded

After failing to land the state fair
herself last winter, Valley City
doesn't hold any grudge, as the fol-
lowing from the Alliance will prove:
The number Of North Dakota people
going from Barnes county to the MIN

North Dakota now has a state fair of
her own which, in the line Of display
and entertainment, ''knocks the sox''
off MINI. Our people are loyal to
home institutions and they are going
to our own state fair at Mandan the
last week in this month.
