Letter From Geo. Powers.
CREsToN, WASH, Disc. %, 'O1

EDITOR HERALD: We. are now
side1 racked here for short time
on account OF wreck, and will give
you a little sketch of our trip west.
When we left Little Falls it was 90
degrees below zero This continued
until we reached Mandan, N. D.
When we got to Billings, Mont, the
wlte: was running and we ha7eu't
seen any faro weather since, but
have seen more worthless land then
l thought there was in the world,
and we have only just got started
on our trip. The scenery along the
Yellowstone river is very interesting,
but the only way can describe it is
that it looks like the ruins of ancient
cities and castles, twenty stories
high and 500 miles long.
This is e. wheat country. There
are now 100000 bushels piled up in
sacks awaiting shipment The price
is 40 cents per bushel. There is
quite lot Of fruit raised here in
spite of the fact that there is some
snow On the ground. We picked
apples and pears from the trees. The
chickens roost in the trees 100 feet
below the level of the earth. The
frdit was frozpn and the tees was
down in canyon, where most of
the people live out here.
Every other man out here has a
gold mine. One took us out yester-
day to show us some land, a hard
five hour drive. Although he claims
to own mines worth $4,000, all be
charged was pint Of bug juice.
They use brakes on top buggies
here, and the newspapers publish all
land sales, also giving the name Of
the agent who made the sale.
Guess land and green fruit is just
as high here as back home. There
the song is ''lamb, lamb, lamb -
Here it's mud, mud, mud"
We will pull out to the coast soon,
then will let you know what we find
| out there
|. Yours truly, r. ~:

HARDING ENJOYS
A REAL BOOM
His GubernatOrial Candidacy
Looked on With Favor
by Many.

Toledo Blade.
Columbus, o., Sept. 26.-The action
of the Marion County Republican Con-
vention in indorsing Senator Harding
for Governor was not only the express
sion OF good will on the part OF the Re
publicsns OF his own county, but was
also the commencement OF what will
develop into a lively campaign in Hard
ing's interests.
Harding is full hedged candidate.
He h"pes to secure the nomination at
the next State Convention. In this he
will be backed by a number of the
leading Republicans OF the State who
look upon him as a compromise candi-
date who can settle all internal dissen-
tions and do away with any feeling Of
| ill-wili.
In his entire course as q Senator he
has been free from factional bias and
refused TO take part In the quarrels
which beset the party. While proba
bly, not the first choice of either Sena
tors Hanna or Foraker 1t Is believed
that his nomination would be entirely
satisfactory to both and awaken M
feeling OF resentment such as woulC
follow the selection OF q we'll know

THE AGE OF ELECTRICITY.
Wonderful Development OF the
Invisible Power in the Last
Few Years.

New York, Sept 27.-At q meeting
OF the American Institute OF Electrical
Engineers In this city, President Scott
said that since the organization OF the
institute in 1884, the value of electrical
installations in the United States, out
side of telegraph and telephone plants,
had increased from $l,oO0. 900 TO over
s4, 600. 600, 900.
1.-THE United States" he added.
"with only one-fifth Of the population
of Europe and Great Britain, has two
and one-third times the kilowatt capac
| ity In power stations, and three and
one-balf the mileage Of electric rail
ways. The power houses in operation
and under contract In New York City
would replace all the control stations
for lighting and power in Great Brit
ain and Germany; they would operat'
all the electric railways Of Great Brit
ain and Europe combined; one alon
would be sufficient for the railways o
Germany, and the output Of Q singl
generator would run all the railways O
Switzerland"
