This is particularly the season for

There are fans and fans. Many ad-

BIG VALLEY HARVEST
EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA WILL
TURN OUT LARGEST YIELDS FOR
NUMBER OF YEARS.

Ex-Governor John Miller of North Dakota, and
now the head Of the John Miller Grain company,
with headquarters in Duluth Is quoted in the
Grand Forks Herald as saying:
The farmers Of eastern North Dakota will
harvest this year the largest crop they have had
for years. This is now assured While it WILL
perhaps, not be what Is termed q bumper CROP
the yield will be good with the possible excep-
ton of some small areas, where they had too
much rain While there is considerable rust
the situation in that respect has apparently i'm
proved during the past two weeks, and the dam
age will not materially affect the yield, or at
least not so far to make a crop failure in
any section have visited. And wheat is not
the only good crop. Oats, barley flax and
other products give assurances Of good returns.
In the southeastern part of the state the harvest
is already under way. The weather could hardly
be more perfect for maturing crops"

After prospecting in Alaska for seven long years, from close to the Arctic circle to near the boundary line of the United States, w, F. Harris last July discovered what he says looked to him at the time like mountain of gold, and after his long years of privations and hardships he comes back to Seattle firmly convinced that his fortune is made, says the Times. Mir. Harris, in company with David A. Rearick, has located six claims on the Salmon River seven miles from where it empties into Portland Canal, so that his property IS seventeen miles from tide water. He describes the location as mountain on which an avalanche had stripped the earth and boulders clear, leaving exposed a vein of ore twenty-five feet wide. and so rich that it made him dig zy when he examined it. MT. Harris and Mir. Rearick are not yet satisfied whether.the claims are in British Col umbia or territory belonging to the United States. They say it is so close to the boundary line that it will take an official survey to determine this point. The ore is gold bearing, but contains enough silver to make it worth working on that account alone. An assay made by an official of the Cana dian government showed that the ore carried 1000 ounces in silver. An assay made in Juneau showed 500 ounces of silver, with gold running from S5l to 575 per ton.
 A Camden, N. J., dispatch tells TO- mantle story in which resident of AL aska figures prominently; Formal an- nouncement was made today of the marriage of Miss Carrie George, of this city and Charles H. Dunton, a million aire mine owner of Dolomi, Alaska. The couple became acquainted through a card placed by Miss George in July, 1902. ina shipment of waste to Dun toms smelling works. A letter of in- ouiry developed a regular correspon- dence. and Miss George meeting Dun ton in Seattle in January, they were welded, and are now living in the bridegroom's home in the far North. Miss George was confidential agent ofa dealer in raw silks in Philadelphia. Workmen were binding a bale of waste and Miss George was watching. She had several cards bearing her name and address, and on the impulse of the moment dropped one into the bale. "There's little messenger to the wide, wide world" said Miss George, laugh ingly. "Let's see what comes of it." Dunton had gone to Alaska with his brother in the first rush to the gold fields. He struck rich vein and is said to be millionaire. He happened to catch sight of the card when the workmen cut open the bale. Much pleased he put the paper in his pocket and few days later wrote to Miss George. When she alighted in Seattle, Miss George wore by appointment a rain coat with red, white and blue ribbon bow in the left lapel. Dunton wore rain coat with a similar bow. Recognition was instantaneous. Dun ton escorted the young woman to the Great Northern hotel and on the fol- lowing day proposed marriage. They were welded January 9, and two days later sailed for Dolomi

 The special Alaska telegraph rates have been approved by the secretary of war. and will become effective March |. As heretofore explained in these dis patches, the reduction in rates applies only to a special class of messages over the land lines and does not apply to the military cable.

The reduction is on purely social and family messages and only on the land liues.-P.-I.

 A late dispatch from Fairbanks to the Whitehorse Star says that Mrs. BuchhoIz, wife of Peter Buchholz, a former Dawson butcher, shielded here yesterday by taking poison. (Ten years ago the Buchholz family conducted the City hotel at Port Angeles, Washing ton, having formerly been in the same business at Clallam, Wash. In 1898 they went broke in the Stikine country and came from there to Skagway, Peter going on the next year to Dawson where he opened a butcher shop in South Dawson and made money very rapidly, his wife at that time being in Seattle with her mother. Mrs. Buch- holz and little son, Thaggard, now ten, years old, went to Dawson in 1900. The mother and son went to Fairbanks early last year. Later the husband and father quietly departed from Dawson for Fairbanks, leaving, it is said, credit ors in the lurch to the extent of many thousand dollars. Mrs. Buchholz was a large, fine looking woman and pos sessed a happy and jolly disposition.)
