The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.
Light rains fell in southern counties
on the 23d: north of the Minnesota val
ley on the 9th, and in the extreme
southeast on the 29th. There were
heavy local rains in Becker and Hub
bard counties on the 9th. Severe hail
storms occurred on the 9th in southern
Polk, parts of Norman, eastern Clay
and western Becker counties, which
have caused a great deal of damage to
standing grain. There have been no
excessively high temperatures during
the week. High winds on the 9th
shelled some ripe grain. On the whole
the week has been very favorable for
work in the harvest fields in all parts
of the State. Much of the spring wheat
is in shock in southern counties, and
harvest is begun in the extreme north.
Barley is ripe and its cutting in CEN
trail and southern portions is farther

much of the barley is in stack. The
oat crop is generally poor; large areas
of oats have been cut for hay and a
good deal has been harvested, but as
the stools seem to be heading we'll,
many farmers are waiting for them to
ripen before cutting. Early fax is
ripening and little has been cut. The
straw of all grains is very short, and
thin on the ground north of the Mime
sofa valley, and many headers are
used to cut the wheat, instead of bind
ers, which cannot gather the short
straw without considerable loss, and
some barley has been mown and
stacked loose. T he wheat heads have
| filled we'll, with an excellent quality
of grain. Stacking is being done
where the harvest is over, and a little
threshing is begun, the first spring
wheat being threshed on the 9th il
Redwood county. Some Of the barley
is discolored. Corn, potatoes, late fla>
late grass and forage crops are grow
ing we'll. Blacxberries are ripening
The cutting of all but the late grasses
is nearly finished; the crop is light

IS greatly encouraged by the results of
his canvass and says that he is certain

dates.
The business men are offering some
good prizes for special displays and the
regular premium list has been revised
and the amount of money for exhibi-

Among the attractions will be band

Douglas Island news., 1900-01-17

The steamer Rustler arrived from Berners Bay and Seward City last Thursday morning. She brought down man named Mclaughlin who was badly injured some two weeks ago, at Snyder & Darrow's mine, the Jualin, by the premature explosion ofa charge of powder. He is badly bruised about the arms, legs, head and face, and his eyes are in a serious condition, al though it is thought he will not lose his sight. He was brought to the St. Ann's hospital on Douglas Island for treat ment.
 Some of the British troops in South Africa did not stand fire, but broke and ran away. They were brought back into line, but few rife shots from the Boers started them off on a second stampede. Humanity is apparently the same the world over. It took from two to three days to get some of the Union soldiers to fight at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, but when they got into fighting mood they fought as we'll as any soldiers that were engaged in the battle. If the real truth is known we believe in all such cases the officers are to blame. The British have met a foe that is their equal man for man, and they had better follow Gladstone's plan in 188l-pulI out of the country and ad- nit having received a good whipping.

SILENT AS THE GRAVE.
The 300 Miu-visitors weIcome-A Woman
 That Talked.

The big 300 stamp mill, the largest in the world. has at last shut down, but this unhappy event did not occur until after the first of the month, which was three months later than the company expected. This mill makes lots of noise when running and its rock grinding can be heard for blocks, but now it is stiIl-as silent as the grave. This i'm mense mill consumes about 900 tons of ore every day that it is kept running and it keeps the little engine and five cars "whooping" to keep ore in the bins.
 The old Treadwell mill-God bless her-that has made her owners millions is kept running night and day. There are 24O stamps in this mill, and she too is noisy old thing. She isn't depend ing on water power in the winter and has first-class steam plant that keeps the stamps dropping during the win ter months.
 The new Seven Hundred with 12O stamps will soon have her steam power plant completed and then four of the five mills will be running all winter as we'll as during the summer.
 Visitors are always permitted to go through these mills and concentrator rooms.
 Generally they ask permission to do so at the office, which is never refused.
 Sometimes the visitor is told not to talk while in the mill, and they realize and relish the joke when they get into ther where the stamps are drop ing, for without doubt a stamp mill is the noisiest thing ever invented by man. There is only one known case where a visitor talked in the stamp mill and that was almost two years ago.
 It was New York woman and occur red in the old Treadweu mill. Poor thing. She just had to keep her tongue wagging or die, she preferred the former.

Drops Her Propeller In The Bay-Twenty Feet From The Rocks-Rescued By The
 Cottage City.
out it..

The City ofSeattle steamed into the channel last Saturday morning and tied up at Juneau for an hour and then started for Skagway. She seemed to be in hurry for she was cutting through the water in great shape. She was soon out of sight and the next heard of her was when the Cottage City went to her rescue up in the Seward City country.
 The magnificent vessel lost her pro- peIler and came very near being a total wreck but she got five anchors out and notany too soon either, for when found by the Cottage City she was within twenty feet of the rocks and not more than 150 feet from the shore. It took the Cottage City over four hours before she got line on the Seattle. The waves were rolling very high and after getting the lines fastened, the City of Seattle suffered still further ill luck by leaving two of her anchors at the bottom of the sea. The Seattle is tied up at Juneau and will remainther until atug is sent up from the sound to take her home.
 This is the second experience of that kind that she has had, for she broke a crank pin last summer and was lowed down at that time The City of Seattle is splendid boat and the only one that is in the Alaska trade that has large state rooms. As passenger boat she on that account, has been favorite in Alaska. She has weathered some awful storms. The only objection we ever heard to the boat was that her commander runs through storms when safety demands he should lay by.

A Serious Accident.

Last Friday morning about 1 o'clock, Harry Crofts, who was working in the Mexican mine, lost his balance and fell distance of about thirty feet down a shaft and rolled and tumbled over the rocks down an incline about 75 feet more. His fellow workmen quickly went to his assistance and he was taken to the St. Ann hospital where it was found that his injuries consisted of a broken leg and several severe scalp wounds.
 Harry is one of the most popular young men on the Island and everyone is anxious to learn of his speedy recov- cry. At last accounts he was resting very easy, considering the severity of his injuries.
 The K. P. lodge, of this city, of which organization MT. Crofts is an active member, send one of their number every night to keep him company and see that his wants are supplied.

SELECTING ON THE YUKON.
The First Horse And Sled That Ever Came
 Through From Dawson to Bennett.

Four Seattle men, Dave Colsky, S. Stenfeldt, Abe and Max Stein reached Bennett last week after making an eighteen day trip from Dawson to that place with a horse and sled This is the first time horse has been driven up the river on the ice and the men re- port very pleasant trip. They took passage on the City of Seattle for the Sound and arrived at Juneau on Sun day night. They will continue their journey south on the Cottage City. They are all former acquaintances of the editor of the News and splendid good fellows.

The Dawson Fire.

Dawson City has again been visited by disastrous fire. A defective fue was the cause which means that the city authorities have been negligent and should be held accountable. The loss is estimated at half million which in an American city would mean loss of few thousand dollars. It seems strange that in town of wood build- ings the means for suppres5ing and pre- venting fires do not include rigid in spection of flues and chimneys.

The Indian Pocketbook.

Among the natives, the women keep and carry the money. When the pair make purchases at the stores, the wo- man always pays for the same. If this practice prevailed among the whites, there would be less poverty among the people. Women are much more econ omicaI than men. That is the rule of course there are exceptions.

TryItOne rlontil.

Brewer Matlock of Juneau will make it exceedingly interesting for the Sound breweries. He is making beer the equal of that shipped in and great majority of the dealers would rather patronize the home manufacturer. It would be much better to have the thousands of dollars sent out of the district every month retained in our towns and the people would find money more plenti- ful and times better if such were the case. Try it for just one month. If you are a beer thinker, call for Mat locks beer and at the end of the month you will find difference in the times.
 Do you know how much money is sent to the breweries at Seattle and Olympia every month? It will average from one to two hundred dollars for every dealer. Call for Matlock's best for one month. Try it.
