Death Gulch.

A ravine In the northeast corner Of
Yellowstone National park, in Wyo-
ming, is known by those living near by
as Death gulch. Grewsome as is the
name, it is exceedingly appropriate. It
Is a v shaped trench cut in the noun
tainside and begins about 25O feet
above Cache creek. Apparently 1t
forms a natural shelter for the beasts
Of the forest, as food, water and shelter
are there, but entrance to the gulch
means death to any animal, for the
poisonous vapors that rise out of the
,ravine are more deadly than the bullets
Of the huntsmen.
For ages this death trap in the Rocky
mountains has probably been Turing the
Inhabitants of the forest to their doom.
With the rains Of spring the bones of
the dead of the preceding year are a r
ried down to the creek and the gulch
cleared for the death harvest of the
summer and winter.
The biologists say that the lavas
which fill theNncient basin Of the park
1t this place rest upon the TANKS of
Mountains formed of fragmentary vol
canic elects. Gaseous emanations are
given out in great volume. These come,
the scientists say. from deposits of al
tered and crystalline travertine mixed
with pools in the creek. Above these
deposits the creek cuts into a bank OF
sulphur. In the bottom of the gully is
a small stream sour with %sulphuric
acid.
No wonder the poor animals seeking
! shelter in the gulch meet death there.

The demand for we'll bred two
and three-year old cattle at Dick
inson continues as great as a
month or six weeks ago. This
may seem unusual, but the absence
of the destructive prairie fires this
fall has had much to do with slim
ulating the demand tor stock cat
tie, The range is in fine condi.
ton, the cattlemen have been re-
ceiving good prices for their beef
cattle. and the general feeling
seems to be that another year will
also see good beef prices and that
stock cattle are likely to be even
higher the coming year than at
present. Certainly if the corn
states have good crops in 1902
cattlemen cannot expect to see
feeders selling at the present
prices.

Dr.. Cameron Mann.

Early in the week it was published all
over the country that Rev. c. G. Pierce
hadbeenelected bishop for North Dakota,
but it developed later that he had merely
been nominated by the house Of bishops
at San Francisco and that the house Of
deputies had failed to ratify the nomina-
ton on the ground that Mr.. Pierce was
lot strong enough physically to do the
work in this state. The association was
considerably embarrassed by this publi-
cation and at once passed a resolution
that in the future the nomination, or at
least the nam of the party, would be
Withheld until ratified by the house of
deputies.
DR.. Cameron Mann was elected bishop
on Thursday and in speaking of his nom
ination. on the previous day the Fargo
Forum said:
DR.. Cameron Mann, D. D., is the presi-
dent OF the standing committee Of the
| diocese OF west Missouri and rector of
one of the largest churches in Kansas
| CITY. He is a leader in the house of
/ deputies and has often been heard in
more important debates. He is person.
| ally known to Bishop Edsall who ex-
presses himself, in kilograms to Fargo
friends, earnestly hopeful that DR.. Mann
will be confirmed in the house of depu-
ties today.
This is what was said of Rev. Charles
PIERCE earlier in the week:
Rev. Charles Campbell Pierce, chosen
for missionary of North Dakota, is at
present chaplain of the Twenty-second
infantry, u. S. A. He went to the Philip.
pines soon after the commencement Of
hostilities there, and for a time was posi-
chaplain at Manila. He was active in
the promotion Of educational work in
the islands until ill-health compelled his
return to this country about a year ago
Capt. Geary. who was with Co. B in the
Philippines, says: "The Episcopalian:
and people of North Dakota general,
are most fortunate in securing the ser
vices of Chaplain c. c. Pierce as bishop
of North Dakota. He is a man of un
usual tact, energy and ability. His worl
while chaplain of the Fourteenth U. S
infantry in the Philippines won tn
econimous of all his associates. He wa
versatile to an unusual degree, and tire
less in the numerous laudable enter
prises which he begun and prosecuted t
complete success. He rapidly acquires
a knowledge of Spanish and went abou
among the INDECENT, into whose hearts h
i, won his way by administering spiritua
consolation and rendering medical as
sistance, without compensation, whe
the duties of his Office permittee an
. liberty. Many of the officers and me
of the North Dakota infantry had tn
pleasure of contributing to a fund whicl
, he raised to purchase and dedicate a FREE
, undenominational cemetery.

A Curious Trap.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive is to be seen
near Ayuthia. formerly the capital of
Siam. The labyrinth is formed of a
double row of immense tree trunks set
firmly in the ground, the space between
them gradually narrowing.
Where it begins, at the edge of the
forest, the opening Of the labyrinth Is
more than a mile wide, but as it ap-
proaches Ayuthia it becomes SO mar
row that the elephants cannot turn
around.
s~uspecting no danger the wild ele-
plant enters the broad opening ut the
forest end, lured on by a tame elephant.
The gradual narrowing of the bound
aries Is not observed until the ele-
plant finds himself in close quarters.
Having reached the end of the LADY,
rinth, the tame elephant is allowed to
pass through q gate. while men lying
in wait slip shackles over the feet of
the captives. The sport Is a dangerous
one, for the enraged elephants some
times crush the hunters under their
feet. #

The railroad lands west of the
river now belong to the North
western Improvement Co., a cor
poration of New Jersey. A num-
Der of the Northern Pacific Off
Gals are directors in the new COM
pany and it is presumed that the
policy of the new corporation
with reference to these lands will
not differ materially from that
pursued by the former owners.
The transfer of these lands has
enabled the Northern Pacific to
get money with which to retire
bonds.

DEATH OF JAMES BROWN.

That dread disease, meningitis, was the agent of death in claiming the life of one of St. Francis county's leading citi. zens on last Tuesday morning. when MT. James Brown, after brief. but painful illness, passed into the great beyond.
 Jim Brown was native of Arkansas and was born in August 1857, near the place where his death occurred on March l2, 1901, at the age of 43 years. His mother came to this state from Alabama when she was quite young and his father was native of Scotland. Mr. Browns remains were inferred in the family bury ing ground on Wednesday. March ls, 1901.
 Our deceased friend entered public life m 1892 when he was the most popular candidate for county assessor He served the.. people of St. Francis in this capacity for three terms and after retire. ment becaine.a candidate for sheriff in which campaign he received | very com. plimentary support. and although defeated was considered the most formidable pros. pect for the campaign of 1902, and had he lived would probably have succeeded MT. W. k. Williams as sheriff of this county.
 The demise of this gosd man Is to be deeply depl0red. He was a leader in his community and was loved and honored by a large constituency and fond circle of friends and relatives. He had . pron,is- ing career before him which was cut short by this sad dispensstion Of Provi. depce.
 | THE TIMES was always loyalty cham. pioned hy Mr. Brown and we join the en. tire community m offering heartfelt sym. pa,hy to his good wife and loved ones ir this hour of sorrow and bereavement.
