THRESHERS UNNIN

HUM OF THE THRESHlNG MA
CHIMES BEING HEARD IN THE
VALLEY-NO CROP ESTIMATE
CAN BE FORMED YET.
Grand Forks Herald: After nearly
a weeks delay on account OF a number
of rains, the welcome hum Of the
threshing machines was heard yester-
day in all directions. The wheat is in
fairly good condition, but would not
be damaged by a few more days good
drying weather, but on account of the
numerous showers for the past two
weeks some apprehension is felt that a
wet fall may ensle and for this reason
the farmers feel that it is better to
thresh the grain even If it is a little
damp than to run the risk Of further
wet weather. The outlook for fine
weather is excellent at the present
time, and should it continue for two
weeks from date the great bulk of the
wheat of this section OF the state as
well as that in Polk county will be in
the elevators and granaries. ..e. s.
There has not been enough thresh-
ing done as yet to make an estimate OF
the yield that would be Of any value,
but south of the city where the most OF
the threshing has been done the farm
ers are well pleased with the, way the
wheat is running. Some of the barley
fields that have been threshed have
turned out well, but the barley acre
age is not as large as it has been in
the past, much of the former barley
acreage having been sown to flax.
While it is conceded that much of the
fax is off this year, still there are many
fine pieces south of town, and the re-
turns in these instances will be very
satisfactory. ~,
Where any threshing was done be-
fore the rains the farmers have ali
started their plows, and there will be
more early blowing this fall than for
a number of years past, and this will
leave the ground in almost as good
shape as though it had been summer
fallowed. The large corn acreage
that has been sown this year, the re-
turns from which will be excellent, is
another factor that will result in the
land being in excellent shape for the
crops next year.

A Y COOKE

Hon, B. S. Russell Of Jamestown,
one of the patriarchs Of the state,
writes the following with reference to
Jay Cooke, identified with the first up
building of the Northern Pacific road
and the opening of the great North
west:
August 10 Jay Cooke was so years
old. I will be the same Jan. 8, II l
live. August 10 I wrote Nh Cooke a
letter of generalization on the full pos
session of mental and physical health.
He and I became acquainted with each
other in 1889, when we were both II
years old, and for thirteen years, I'M
til 1852, knew each other only in the
walks of business, and in 1852 we be-
came Intimately acquainted with each
other, and have been so long since then
-forty-nine years-beginning in 1852.
There were those things in which u
lives. were closely blended with each
ether. He was in Philadelphia and 1

was done by us. ~. ... Ii.
When in 1862 he was called by Sec
rotary Salmon P. Chase to conference
at Washington, with the bankers Of
the Atlantic cities, we sketched out a
financial plan that met the approval
of Mr.. Chase, and he made a contract
with MT. Cooke to carry it out, and the
result was that. during the entire per-
iod of the war MI. Cooke became the
right arm of. government, and it
leaned on him as on a strong staff.
His plan, which consisted primarily of
an appeal to the patriotism of the
north, and an issue of $500. 900, 900 of
treasury notes bearing 7 $40 interest
per annum, being one cent a day for
$50. and convertible into a twenty year
gold bond, redeemable at the option
of the government, after five years,
was adopted by Mr.. Chase, and the en-
time north responded and the life OF
The nation was saved. he became tne
fiscal agent of the Northern Pacific
road, and its completion has opened
an empire.
10Y In these three things his life and my
own have been interviewer. His re-
ply to my letter of August 10 is a most
welcome one, and asks me to go and
see him at an early day, when, to use
his words, I'VE will have a grand pow
WOW over old timers of the wonderful
life in which we have been so init
mate1y blended" No man known to
me in this country is rounding out
more beautifully a well spent life than
Jay Cooke. I went to Duluth thirty
years ago and have been identified
with the grand magnificent empire
opened up by the Northern Pacific ever
since. - EIT -

MAYD0LE'S HAMMER.
(EenSon's Plaster is Pains Master.)

When Maydole was told that he made "a
pretty good hammer" he said, "No, don't
make pretty good hammer make the
best hammer that ever qcHs nude"
Every carpenter who saw a Maydole ham,
mer wanted one. 1t was of the best ma
terial, perfectly balanced, and the head
never flew off. Hammers were divided into
two classes-1st, Maydole's; Cd, all the rest.
Plasters are separated by the same line
of cleavage; LIST, Benson's Porous Plaster !;
Cd, all the rest. When, for rheumatic pain,
a cold, cough kidney trouble or any
other disease or ailment that may be treated
externally, you ask for a plaster, any hon.
est, reputable druggist will give you Ben
sons. He k'a0a0s it is incomparably the
best, and he assumes that you know it too.
AS the name of Maydole stood for hammers
the name of Benson stands for plasters-
the "real thing" All the medicinal poten-
cies that are valuable in plaster are in
Benson's. Capsicum, Strengthening and
Belladonna plasters are out of date.
An army of physicians and druggists, and
millions of the people, have written of
Benson's Plasters as remedy to be trusted.
Benson's Plasters have ffty-fve highest

$40 for it. 1t keeps him warm and
shelters him from cold winds and from

torn down the sides. Then the owner
uses the coat for rainy days only, and
no more does he take it to call on his
fiancee or to recline on the back of a
chair while he is reading at the club.
He keeps it another summer, and the
moths get into it, and when he takes it

awhile until his wife gives it to the
tramp who wheeled out the three bar

the old coat commences to fall apart.
Then he gives it to another tramp, and
it falls apart still more. And then

The Russian government has recent

For heaven its sweetest smile bestows

When shadows blur the light.
And rosy twining arms that meet
And necklace me at night.
These my glad heart enraptured knows

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 16.-A special
TO The Post-Intelligencer from Victoria.
says: "What is feared will be one of
the most horrible mine accidents in
the history Of the Dominion took place
yesterday forenoon at the Union mines,
owned by the yelling Colliery COM
pany, of which James Dunsmuir, the
premier of the province, is the prin-
cipal shareholder. The explosion took
place at about II a. N. in No. 6 shaft.
This particular shaft is situated right
in the village of Cumberland. There
were sixty men in it when the explo-
sion took place, and not one Of them
escaped.
Several Explosions Take Place.
The explosion ignited the mine,
wrecking the shaft from midway down
to the bottom, and filling it with a solid
mass of rocks, earth and timbers. The
first explosion was followed by several
more, while the dense volume of smoke
issuing from the vent-holes indicated
only too truly that the fire as we'll as
gas was doing it's destructive work
below. AS soon as practicable after
the accident the men of the morning
shift in No. 5 shaft organized a rescue
party. No. 5 is situated about mile
from No. 6, but the two workings are
connected by a tunnel, and through
this channel an attempt was made to
help the unfortunate fellows in the
wrecked shaft.
No Help Through the Tunnel.
They had not cut their way many
yards through the debris when they
encountered fire which rendered the
place untenable and obliged the party
to desist. The hopeless message came
back by telephone to the surface con-
veying the Misunderstanding news to the
relatives of the imprisoned men, whose
urging was not necessary to induce the
relief party to return to their appar-
emily hopeless task. Overcome at last
by gas and smoke they reluctantly
withdrew from No. and commenced
work on a long cut from No. 4, the
only other means of reaching the men
Work on this was prosecuted with the
greatest visof until abatement Of the
fire in No. enabled them to once more

workings soon there is little hope for
any of the men locked up-in the shaft.
John Bryner, ex-member of parlia-
ment, brother-in-law of the premier
and ex-manager of portion of the
Dunsmuir mining business, said to The
Post-Intelligencer that scarcely any
hope could be held out for the men.
The only way in which any of them
could escape would be by reaching
some remote portion of the workings
to which the fatal gases and smoke
could not penetrate. The gas in coal
mine, he said did it's work in a few
minutes. Hence the hopelessness Of
the task Of saving men who had beer
