II think that President Jordan made
a great mistake in Washington few
days ago If he stated, as published,
that the recent reports of storms in
the gulf states We're exaggerated and
that the present crop Of cotton would
be the second largest in the worlds
history. That statement Of President
Jordan had instantaneous effect in its
use by the bear interests throughout
the world. The market dropped the
very next day and was followed by q
drop the day afterwards and the down
ward trend OF prices was not checked
until further reports of continued bad

Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
invested by Pennsylvania capital in
the Black Hills country of South Da-
kota are bringing in already good re-
turns, AND will ere long pay even
greater rewards. 1t was in the year
1896 that w. w. Jamison Of the Coal
and Coke Company of Greensburg, Pa,
stopped in the Black Hills for a visit
with his old college mate, W. S. FL
der, attorney at law, Of Deadwood.
Mr.. Jamison became interested in
some mining enterprises with Mr.. FL
der, and from that time Pennsylvania
capital has flowed Hillsward. Prince
ton men are largely numbered among
those who have invested in Western
enterprises, and many have already
followed their money to the Black
Hills.

In Deadwood, is financed largely by
Pennsylvania men. The Lead-Dead-

by tn esame interests, and furnishes
gas for lighting and heating purposes
to the towns of both Deadwood and

just outside the corporate limits of

suppose most of the rail fences used
by the first settlers in Maine We're
held in place with yellow birch withes.
Il have seen them used to bale hay,
and tie up bags of grain, and splice
cart tongues, and keep grindstones
from leaping out of frames, and to tie
out calves while feeding, and to fasten
the names Of work horses about the
collars, and to hinge the swinging
part of a threshing fail to the handle
and to bind loads of wood and pota-
toes and apples and hay when they
were taken to market
Fifty years ago a bundle of withes
was as necessary at funeral as a
dead body. All collins were made by
the local carpenters then, without
paint or varnish Such articles as
beckets We're unknown.
Instead of having silver mounted
handles, a bundle of stout withes was
twisted about the coffin near the head
and near the foot, and when the bear
ers were ready to proceed they took
a firm hold of the withes and went
along.
