FILLS A SUICIDES GRAVE.
Famous Scout and Trapper and De
scendant of Van Buren, Dead.

6CCnUdNk OT van DuTCH GCdOs
Butte, Mont, Jan. 22.-George Van
Buren,, one OF the most noted charac.
tiers OF the Northwest, committed sui.
eide in a cabin in Rattlesnake valley.
about ten miles north of Missoula, on
Monday, word of his tragic end having
been brought to Missoula during the
afternoon.
Van Buren, killed himself after pro.
tracted spree, placing the barrel of his
rifle against his heart and touching the
trigger off with stove poker. He got
out of bed about midnight, and sooD
afterward his wife heard shot and
found him lying on the kitchen floor.
Van Buren, was sixty years old and
claimed to be lineal descendant OF
President Van Buren,. He acted as
scout under General Howard during
the Nez Perez trouble when the battle
of Big Hole was fought. He was sent
out by Miles with orders for General
Custer, reaching the scene of the mas

Flax in Bayfield, County

In the DakotaS the farmers have
made fortunes in the past few years
raising flax. Many instances have
been related where they have in one
year paid for their farms. 1t is not
generally known that this county
will produce as good flax as any of
the western land, BUTT isa fact. The
essential quality of the soil demanded
for this crop is large quantity of lime.
The heavy land in this section is rich
in lime and makes excellent flax land.
This is not theory, but the results
have been obtained in the county by
practical farmers. 1t has long been
known that the red clay of the Lake
Superior region contained too much
limefor brick making but it remained
for some one to demonstrate itsvalue
for the production of this most valua-
able crop.
Flax will yield and has done so
from twenty to forty bushels per
acre. 1t sells sometimes as high as
st.75 a bushel, is easy to handle
and upon new land is valuable for
loosening the soil and destroying the
wild nature. One field near Iron
River sown this year was partly upon
new breaking and partly upon last
years breaking thathad been cropped.
At this time no difference could be
seen between the two parts of the
field. Those who object to the cost
of clearing the land in this region
should stop and figure returns the
first years cropof flaxwill bring and
put that against the yield from ordin-
airy farms the first year, and the cost
of clearing will look small.

The Way They Figure

We were talking to a good repre-
sentative business man but a poor
farmer the other day and he was not
at all enthusiastic about the agricul-
tural possibilities of this region.
There are good many such through
out the county, and some of them do
not hesitate to say pretty diScouraging
things about the agricultural future of
the county. He did not belong to
the latter class, however, but said he
had never made his farm pay. He
then went on to tell about two ton
crops of hay that he sold for twelve
to fourteen dollars per ton. Now a
practical farmer who can get return
of twenty-five to thirty dollars per
acre from his land is not going to
lose money. While we were talking
man came along with a dish Of fine
strawberries that he had raised in his
garden. He had patch twenty-five
by, fifty feet and last year it produced
thirty bushels of berries which he
sold at four dollars a bushel. Doesn't
look as though the land would pay
does it,

SEEMS TO vINDICATE TULLOCH

Wa Hington, June 1S.-The report of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow ON the charges by ex-Cashier
Tulloch of irregularities in the postof.
fee department has been made public.
Bristow's letter to the postmaster gen.
eral transmits the reports of inspec-
tors. These largely confirm the charges
made by Tulloch. The papers printed
in fact, constitute by far the most sig
nificant documents yet made public as
a result of the sweeping postal in
vestigation. The reports show the ex-
istence of many Irregularities during
the period involved. The inspector who
investigated the irregularities reports
that the files of the postoffice cashier
show direct orders from superior au-
thority for the disbursement of all the
questionable items cited.
The inspector urged that the re-
sponsibility for the many illegal ap-
pointinents, the payment of two sal
aries to one and the same person, and
the disbursement of thousands Of dol

Military Pay Roll Methods Stated. and
Other Seeming Sinuosisiss.
In exhibit Il, which Is one of the
reports Of inspectors, irregularities are
shown such as one man claiming two
salaries: same thing shown on the MILL
tary roll, where twenty-five men drew
thirty-four salaries. Other exhibits
show similar curios. A confidential
report Of Inspector Smith made In 1899
names four employees on the military
roll who appear not to have performed
any service in connection with mill
tary postal matte. and for whose orig
iral appointment or continuance on
the rolls no good reason exists.
A payment to w. s. Larner, a mili-
tary postal clerk, of Sis is shown to
be irregular, and that the cashier pro-
tested. Larner appealed to the de-
partment and the acting postmaster
was informed by the department that
the Washington Office held a letter
from the first assistant postmaster
general directing payment to be maze
to Mr.. Larner, and if that was not
good enough perhaps it would obey
one signed by the postmaster gener-
al" The amount was finally paid un-
der written instructions.

states that neither the postmaster nor
any one connected with the Washing

formation as to where they were en-
ployed or the nature of their work, and
the inspector is of the opinion that
practically no service whatever has
been rendered for the money expend-
mon and the report details several.

reply. says that the payment of bonds
of military clerks by the government.
while not entirely regular, was war
ranted under the circumstances. AS to
the dual compensation to o. H. Smith
the ex-postmaster general says that it
was the opinion of the department that
any employe receiving $500 or less
could be paid compensation ON two
different rolls, but that the technical
irregulai ity was discontinued as soon
as the comptroller Of the treasury
called attention to it.
He defends certain alleged irregu-
lar appointments, and says the appoint
ments were regular and that the post
master should have detailed the per.
sons to duty. Smith says 1t was the
postmaster's duty to provide employ.
ment for the cleaners appointed or to
report to the department that there
was no employment for them.
