Your Honor, please. and gen

ago my only brother fell wound
ed on the battlefield Of Gettys
burg. He lay there bleeding to
death, with no friendly hand to
help him. Shot and shell. the
fierce fiery stream of death,
were sweeping the earth about
him. No friend could go to him,
no surgeon dared approach him.
The singing bullets and the wild
music of the shells was to be his
only requiem. My brother had
a body servant, negro man,
who waited on him in camp.
This negro saw his masters dan
ger, and straight out into the
sheet of battle and flame and
death he went. A cannon shot
tore the flesh from his breast,
but on he went, and, gathering
my brother in his arms, the
blood of the man mingling with
the blood Of the master, bore
him to safety and to life. jim

And the jury saw on Jim's
breast long, jagged scars where
the shell had ripped its way.
Continuing, Gen. loom bs

In Alameda county there are
five large canneries. four of |
which are in operation this sea
son. The fifth is not putting
up fruit, bnt is being utilized !
as a can manufacturing estab
lishrent Tue com bined output /,
of the Alameda county cauner |
les is large, being about 500, |
900 cases per year. The total |
fruit pack Of California is est
mated al 100000 case :, so it
will be seen that the cauneries
Of this country contribute one
sixth of the total quantity. In
addition to the pack of fruit
there is also large vegeta Die
pack, amounting to 100000 cases
u year.
Although Almeda county is a
large producer Of fruit and veg
etables the strongest induce
ment for the establishment OF
canneries here is not the prox
unity of the orchards, but the
available labor supply. During
the busy season the two can
neries of the California Frnit
Gamers association employ
1900 hands. 700 in Oakland and
500 in San Leandro. Although
the work is considered hard,
most of the operatives employed
are women and Slrls, aud those
who become experts make good
wages. Some earn as high as
e. so and So per day, and the
slowest make 81 per day.
In the Alameda county can
nerles, as well as those of 9th
er cities, Il large part of the
pack consists OF apricots, peach
es, and pears. Cherries and
plums are also canned in con.
siderable quantities, besides cur
rants and other small fruits.
The canning Of vegetables, par.
ticularly tomatoes and peas,
has become u great industry,
and both of these products are
grown in great abundance in
! Alameda county. Indeed, il
might be sail that about all
the tomatoes used III the can
neries of San Francisco, as well
rs Oakland, are produced here.
The total output OF tomatoes is
estimated by a representative
Gamer as 100000 boxes of SIX
Ity pounds each, which would
amount to $4,000 tons.
The canning season. which
begins with the packing Of peas,
about the middle of May, con
tinues through he summer
and fall months until the end

finished with tomatoes. Cher.

The Best Prospects Found on
 the lnn0kO.
FOLLY TO STaMPElE:
Eleven Men Spent Last Winter in That Section, and Thought It Looked Coed Recorder Kenny and Party En Route to Anvik.

According to Oscar SeaTands. there is very little truth in the r' ported strike on the Innoko river. Mr. Sea mand, wintered ij miles above Anvik. where he was engaged in the wood 1 u4iness. He reached Nome on Oct. from Anvik. having come over from St. Michael on the steamer Ellhu Thompson. From the most reliable reports that he could secure the best ground found averaged only two cents to the pan. F. even men spent last winter in the lnnoko country. among them being Hope Ferguson. Billy Stan ion and fl man named JohnsOn. Sian ton and Ferguson came to Seamand $ wood camp late last winter. and they told Seamands they had found nothing at all, but they said the country looked good, so far aS they could determine through the snow. Tine other eight men who were in that section came "uf about the middle of August. two of whom were named Phillips and Com fort. The latter Was formerly san Francisco policeman. They told Sea mands that they bad thoroughly pros pccted the country. and the best pros pect they founl was two cents to the pan. Johnson, however, went up to Circle City. secured u grubNtake and went back up the lnnuko, and stanton i also went back. Mr. Seamands states positively that each and every man he talkcl with, who had wintered there, stated that they had found compaI a. tively nothing. He further states that there i- absolutely nothing so far dis coveted in that section to warrabt stampede. and tlat these Who attempt to get into that country will be bitterly disappointed.
 Recorder Kenny and party were met at ot. Michael. en route to the lnh"ko They were going up the Yukon on the steamer J. r. Light as far as they could get--An>i ik, if possible.
 Johnson and Stanton told Seamand' that they did not know why peopl. were going into the Innoko country | There was nothing to warrant It. Ac cording to the Indians of the lnnoko it is eight days travel by canoe tt Dick k-kall-al<. native village, and thlet uays' travel from the village to tine point where Ferguson. Stanton ano party found their two-cent prospects.
 Mr. Seaniands will remain III Nome ! this winter.

4 Monkey and Parrot Tine at |. Dutch HarbOr.
THE BOYS IM BLUE
Prom the Transport Rosecsans Help Themselves to the Cheap Beer and Cigars of unsstaska-t'sld the Town Siaif a Day and a Whole Night.

Dutch Harbor and Unalaska were Invaded on September 10, by 425 of Un- clc Sams soldieps. and from reports yeceived receatly in Nome. it appears that they took possession of those water front hamlets and sheO reigned for an afternoon and night. The boys were mostly from Yukon river points; where they had spens two years, and where extract of rye or hops cost 90 cents per per. But when they reached Dutch Harbor sign on S beer joint informed them thst they could get a large sized schooner for l2f cents, and a rare quali- ty of Dutch Harbor hoolch at the same moderate price. They hailed the sign with universal acclaim and forthwith took possession of the place. Beer and.whiskey disappeared down parched throats with rapidity that was amaz- ing, until the proprietor of the saloon was glad to have an opportunity to close it. and he kept it closed until the trans port pulled out.
 Disappointed, but not discouraged, the soldiers went over to Unalaska. There they turned themselves loose and monkey and parrot time followed from night until morning. A letter received in Nome from Unalaska states that among the soldiers ''were q few of the most desperate, crazy men ever seen r. 1o to tx,. detail from the Rosecrans to round up the men ashore, SO they took possession of the saloons. Their proprietOrs would gladly have closed them but they couldn't. The men were there after the goods, and they got them. They fought among themselves; but they allowed no interference from the out siders. One crazy fellow stripped stark naked, then using his trousers for a breech clout. he announced himself seady to fight hali regiment, single handed or do up" the town. His com rades jumped on him, but he took to his heels, breech clout and all and was not again seen tha, night.
 Rolls dance hall and saloon were taken possession of, and during the night quantity of whiskey, cham pagne, cigars, bitters and the like. amounting to S452, was stolen. One oi the most 0bstreperous of the soldiers was named Setton, and next morning he was court-martialed on the Rose orans, but what punishment was meted out to him was not learned.
 Finally the men were rounded up and taken aboard of the transport, which turned her nose southward.
 Then, and not till then, did the in- habilants feel secure.s
