Perhaps some of your read
ers would like to have me tell
of roiny 10 my old home once
again. | used to have such
happy times in the COS, going
to parties gotten up by myself,
and singing in the choir. 1t
seemed | knew everyone for
miles around and | must say it,
] liked everyone and guess
they did me. Father came to
this country from England in
1914. remember the fall we
got to our destination in Win
ncbago county, TIL. ] staid
there, mostly on the farm Faith
Ell got as presumption claim
and my brothers have the same
farm yet. When went to
school most all the teachers
were men. We would have
spelling schools, debating and
writing schools. Then every
two weeks we would have to-
speak pieces or write compost
tions. remember the teacher
appointed a young girl and me
to get up a paper to read. l
wrote mine all alone and man.
ufactured a good love song. /
was thinking about all these
things when | arrived at the
old homestead last winter. l
wondered how many would
know me. The first thing /
would do would be to surprise
my brother. / did not tell them
when l was coming. | got off
the cars four miles from the
house and would try not to see
anybody till | got home. | had
it all planned out. l would but
ton my coat up so | could just
see and | would have another
voice and ask to stay all night.
| arrived and the boy didn't
know me. | raped on the
back door, had my speech all
made up, and some one came
to the door. This is what she
said: 'Why, how do you do,
Henry; come right in. You
can't fool me, | know YOU"
Finally | got a chance to speak
and | said Chow did you catch
on" "Why, you don't think
you can fool us when we have
so many telephones all around" "
Then 1t dawned upon me how
it was. | met a man on the
way and he hurried home and
called up my sister-in-law, and
the rest was easy. When l
fairly got rested l called up
several all round in the neigh
|borhood and most everyone
knew me by my voice. How
handy telephones are to visit
by. | had such a good time
going to see the old friends
that are left and to talk of old
times. 1t seemed as though
the subject would never end.
But some of the saddest visits
were to those who used to be
so spry but are now bent down
with age. One of my last Wis
| its we had our old choir get to-
gether once more, perhaps the
last time for some. One of the
members was almost blind and
couldn't get out any more. We
met at her house. How she
emf .yed it, to sing the old songs
over once again. There are
only a few left row of thu t
once big choir. When we first
belonged they didn't have any
organ, only a tuning fork, and
we would sit up in the gallery
and the audience would face
about till we would get through
singing. When | got ready to
go back | sang through the
telephone to one of the neigh

careful inspection Of the scene of the
wreck and drawbridge, at the point
where the train left the rails. After
the forward car OF the two submerged
coaches had been hoisted to the sur.
face and divers who had been at work

Thousands Enter the Walker Lake
Indian Reservation.
THE LAND Is RICH WITH GOLD
Greatest Scramble for Government
Lands Ever Witnessed in the His
tory Of the Country and Men
Are Exhausted.

THORNE. New, Oct. 29.-With the
firing of mighty blast of dynamite
from the top of Grant Peak, the high
est point in the adjacent mountains,
the Walker Lake Indian Reservation
was opened at noon today. At the Civ
en- signal hundreds of searchers for
gold hurried helter-skelter over the
boundary lines of plains and mountains.
Half an hour after the reservation was
thrown open, thousands of prospectors
had filed countless mining claims.
Town-sites were established and mush-
room cities are springing up at the
mouths of Dutchman and Cottonwood
creeks, where the richest mining terri
tory is supposed to lie.
Although many preferred to locate
claims according to law, numerous
men rushed to coveted land the night
before, and as a result the race from
the boundary line was farce. As a
rule, those who waited until the reg
ular time before starting, did not se-
cure anything for their efforts and
many honest prospectors who spent all
their savings to participate in the rush,
turned back defeated. Great indigna-
tion prevails tonight at Hawthorne.
Yerrington and Schurz were among the
disappointed prospectors who returned.
Special Land Agent Parks has received
no reply from Washington in answer to
his recommendations that the present
opening be annulled on account of ir-
So rich is the country opened that
a number of prospectors displayed free
gold they had washed from their claims
this afternoon. There was no bloodshed

win result in trouble.

No Law and Order Campaign Be-
ing Wased in Idaho
As Alleged.
DON'T WANT INTERFERENCE
Dubois Invites the President to Call on
Federal Judge to Verify His State
ment as to the Issues in the
Campaign.

BLACKFOOT, Oct. 29-Senator Du-
Bois upon reading the Associated Press
dispatch to the effect that Secretary
Taft was coming to Idaho to make two
campaign speeches, today telegraphed
President Roosevelt that II the presi.
dent Is sending Taft to Idaho to speak
for Governor Gooding, in behalf of law
and order, and on account Of the cam.
paign being made against him, as al
legged, that the President is wholly mis-
informed.
Dubois states that no law and order
campaign has been waged in Idaho. He
says the sole issue is against the DOM
nation of the Mormon church in Idaho
politics. The attitude of Governor
Gooding in regard to what is called law
and order is not at issue. Dubois con-
tinues:
81 assure you. that you have been
misinformed as to the political issues in
Idaho, and it will be understood that
if Taft is sent here it will be to speak
in behalf of Mormonism, as that is the
sole issue in the Idaho campaign
Senator Dubois invites the President
to call on the federal judge, United
States district attorney, or the Unit
ed States marshal, or any other federal
officer to verify his statements, that the
only issue involved or being discussed,
is simply that of whether Mormonism
shall dominate the politics of the state.

have been shipped here in enormous

The prime cause Of the unpreeedent-

in the middle West, which has sought
this market. where prices have been
upon higher basis than in the West.
Naturally the heavy receipts have
caused the apple market to become de-
