1t was an inheritance on which
was paid the largest tax ever paid
into the treasury of Alameda coun
ty, California, that befell the Buech-
ners and Schumachers of this city,
Mrs. Henry Tins of North Redwood,
the Bernhold family in LeSueur
county, three relatives still resid-
ing in Germany, and one or two
relatives residing in Renville
county.
THE GAZETTE is not at liberty to
state the amount which is now be-
ing distributed to the % heirs, but
when it makes the above statement,
and also adds that California is
state where many wealthy people
reside and have resided prior to
their demise, the readers of this
paper who know the Buechners and
Schumachers and Mrs Tins will
extend their heartiest congratula-
tions over the good luck that has
befallen them
1t was many years ago that John
Schumacher left his home in Germany
and came to this country along
with a large number of German
immigrants. Schumacher pushed
westward and finally settled in Cal
ifornia, securing several pieces of
San Francisco property, among
these pieces being the site on which
the Park hotel is located on Turk
street, near Market. Schumacher con-
structed this hotel and conducted it
| for time, and the amassing of
wealth commenced with that bit of
enterprise When it is stated that
this property sold for $87 900 at ex-
ecutor's sale only short time ago
the amount of the Inheritance left is
evident.
Schumacher married shortly after
be struck California and his good
wife, who assisted him so materi-
ally in building up the fortune,
passed away two years ago, they
having no children. The old gen
tleman, since that time, and up to
the time of his death, lived the life
of ease and comfort in Oakland,
looking after his property in
terests and preparing for the inevi
table. In the will which he left he
gave $4,000 to the Old People S
home in San Francisco, $1,000 to
the German Benevolent society,
81, 900 to the st. Pauls German
Evangelical Lutheran church and
81. 600 to the DR.. Martin Lutheran
Orphan s Home, all institutions of
the Golden Gate city, and several
other special requests. The balance
he left to his brothers and sisters
and their children.
Three or four weeks ago H. F.
Buechner and John Schumacher left
for San Francisco, and made ar
engagements for closing up the es-
tate on the basis fixed by the will.
The matter was satisfactorily con-
summated, the Inheritance tax hav-
ing been paid into the county treas
urv at Oakland.
! Mrs. Buechner, mother of H. F.
4 Buechner; Mrs. Tins of North Red
wood; the sister living in Germany,
were sisters of the deceased,
and the six Schumacher children
of whom John F., Fred. and Ed. and
Miss Rose Schumacher are best
known here in Redwood Falls, were
the benefciaries. Six Buechners
share in the estate, as do also
six Schumachers, Mrs. Bernhold,
sister, and her six children,
in LeSueur county, a sister and two
children in Germany and Mrs. Tins,

Men in the grain trade would
give big money about this time for
reliable information concerning the
yield of the present grain crop in
this state and the wo Dakotas. The
great bulk, practically all of the
spring wheat produced in the Unit
ed States is raised in these three
states, and the price this time of
year is governed largely by the
prospective yield. The average
fer the states is somewhere around
200, 0OO,0 900, depending upon the
acreage. When the indications
point to a yield below tat amount
prices go up, and when they point
to yield Approximately or exceed
ing that amount prices 60 down. 1t
may thus be seen that little knowl-
edge of the situation in advance
constitutes an advantage which,
with the money to back it, would
make an independent fortune in
day.
For several weeks the men most
interested have, as usual, been try
ing to size up the coming crop.
Men accustomed to crop estimating
have been securing the country in
carriages, automobiles and special
trains, to see the grain as it stands
just before cutting. The acreage is
known accurately. Sometimes men
with inside information do not re-
veal it. Again they ingeniously
circulate false reports for the pur-
pose of misleading. Men whose in
terests are such that they would be
benefited by common belief that
| the coming crop is up to or above
| the average resort to all sorts of
ruses to create belief accordingly.
And all whose interests lie in an
opposite direction try to create the
impression that it will fall below
the average.
A Minneapolis man by the name
of Fl. V. Jones, who is an expert in
estimating crop yields and whose
yearly estimates receive more con-
sideration than those of any other
man has just completed his tour of
investigation and given out his fig
ures for the coming crop as follows:
Bushels
Minnesota. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS so, 400, 600
North Dakota ..................4 As, 100, OOO
South Dakota ...... ........39, 900, 200
Total $4,000, OOO
Most people bad believed that the
| yield would be- somewhat below the
average, but no one was prepared
for tie shrlnkage COZ templated by
this report. In the meantime a Du-
luth expert gave out an estimate of
175. 1866, 900, and Col. Rogers, secre-
tary of the Minneapolis Chamber OF
Commerce made an estimate of 200,
100000, based upon information
furnished by the U. S. government.
| Many people profess to believe
that the Jones estimate is too low,
and that the Duluth man S estimate,
or about 175 million, is nearer right;
still the sharp advance in the price
of wheat Immediately after the pub
