that Washburn could not take care

The house was sod one and the
fire started in wooden leanto

The older children were at school.
Mrs. Twas obliged to take the

Some Interesting Statistics.

The Washburn mill was opened
in September 1890 and the first
man to sell wheat there was John
%, Fjafli, who sold 100 bushels at
67 cents bushel. Barney McGin-
ley was given ticket No. 68. He
sold so bushels at 6S cents a BUSH
Ell. The total receipts for Septem-
Der 1890 were 3452 bushels and
the average price paid per bushel
was 66 cents. David Axelrod, j.
j. Robinson and Aug. 81. Wahl
were the only ones during the
month whose grain was No. l hard
Aug. Wahl sold 227 bushels OF
wheat which was the most sold by
any one farmer.
During the month of October
6766 bushels of wheat was bought
at the mill with an average price
of 66 cents. Those who had No. !
hard were Oscar Gustafson, Chas
Gustafson, Chas. Sheldon, Philip
Wansley, P. o. Gradin and Julius
Mickleson. Philip Wansley sold
the most, which was 10 bushels, al
u cents a bushel,
mi N ovember '.Dick" Copeland
sold Z bushels Of No. 1 wheat al
t63 cents. This was the smallest
amount brought in during the sea.
son. Bruce r. Jones closed the
market on November 28th. when
he sold $50 bushels. The total
number of bushels for the season
was 226l6. j. O. Fjarli sold more
grain during the season than any
farmer, the amount being 73e
bushels.
Ole Satire was the first to sell
grain at the mill in 1891. On Sep,
|tember ID, he sold 18 bushels OF
No.s2 Northern. at SO cents pei
bushel. During the season 55,925

CHANGE NEEDED
IN REGISTERING
Many Objections to the Methods
Used by the Government anda
Change May Be Made

There are good many who arr
criticising the government nit's
method Of registration. The Tr'i'
bune has the following to say
about the matter:
There are a good many people
who do not admire the government
method Of distributing lands, On
the ground that it gives greater
chance to the people living in the
vicinity of the lands, and it
hardship to those living at a great
distance. It might be possible 70
open the land as other land i
thrown open to settlement. through
filings at various land Offices, and
this plan has been tried, but The
inevitable scramble that has y.
suited led to the adoption of the
lottery plan. We think it is pro
bable that before another reserva.
tion is opened. some substantiaI
change will be made in the method
now in use. One newspaper sug'
gests that persons all over the
United States be permitted to,sfle
at their, county seats and that r
prove good faith they make de-
posit of $50 to, 500 when they
file. In the event they draw 9
claim, this money will apply on
the payment and fees. In. the
event they do not, the money vii
be refunded. We think the
present plan Of registration, Fith
the addition, Of acash paynasR
with the registration, would III
better than the present system
II would show good faith, and
nobody would risk cash sum 81
300 unless he really intended t.
live on whatever claim he might
win. It is not at all creditable te
a great number of people who filed
that they did SO purely cut ol
a speculative impulse, and without
any intention of taking claims un-
less they happened to draw one o.
the first numbers. This is moi
the intention of the law, and is in
violation of the spirit Of the aai-
davit required Of every person who
registered. The requirement of 9
cash deposit, not to be refunded in
case the applicant drew a claim,
would pretty largely shut out the
spectators. 4

Beavers Enjoy Indian. Summer.

Last Sunday about a dozen
beavers were watched while at
play across the river on the bank.
They would climb up an eight
foot bank and jump out into the
water about ten feet. This they
kept up for some time. One large
beaver seemed especially to enjoy
splashing the water up very high
with his tail. Beavers seem to be
very plentiful this fall and it is
regretted that the late Joseph
Taylor is not here to predict the
winter weather by the actions of
these animals, as he used to do
every fall.

HA|RBREADTH HARRY
GOT HERE IN TIME
The Hero of confIagration in a
Street Car.

Having Travelled far and wide In
search OF adventure, 'HairOreadth
Harry arrived in Phoenix last even
hero Of the occasion.
Boarding one of the sumptuous trac-
ton cars he proceeded to make him
self agreeable. and in harmony with the
occasion he was looking peacefully out
at the merry throng going hither and
yonder. and wondering if it could be
possible that anything of an exciting
nature could take place at such a time
and on such lovely evening, when all
at once "a terrible thing happened"
A spark from a patent cigar lighter,
which man was using to light a flor
de-alfalfa, flew with lightning like
speed and became entangled in the
hair of a woman who unsuspectingly
sat directly in front Of him on the car
shes a goner," thought our hero.
for in less than the thousandth part
of a second the spark had ignited the
woman's hair and a threatening blaze
had began to envelop the rear portion
Of her silken tresses.
Il will save her." shouted the hero,
and with one mighty bound he reached
the side of the victim. and with his
bare hands smothered the flames which
by this time had developed serious
proportions and were leaping about the
head of the victim.
With the expressions of sincere
gratitude which We're showered upon
him, the hero felt richly rewarded
He alightpd from the car in time IN
dodge the blows from a hatful of coins
that were showered about his head
from the hands of admiring passengers.

BUSY DOCTOR
Sometimes OverIooks a Point.

The physician is such a busy man
that he sometimes overlooks a valuable
point to which his attention may be
called by an intelligent patient who is a
thinker.
About a year ago my attention was
called to Grape Nuts by one of my pa
tients,' says a physician of Cincinnati.
AT the time my own health was bad
and was pretty well run down but l
saw at once that the theories behind
Grape-Nuts were sound and that IL the
food was all that was claimed, it was
a perfect food.
so l commenced to use Grape Nuts
with cream twice a day and in a ,short
time l began to improve in every way
and / am now much stronger, feel bet
ter and weigh more than ever before in
my life.
Il know that all Of this good is due
to Grape-Nuts and. L am firmly con-
WINGED that the claims made for the
food are true.
Il have recommended, and. still rec
ommend, Grape Nuts TO a great many
of my patients with splendid results,
and in some cases the improvement Of
patients on this fine food has been
wonderful.
HAs a brain and. nerve food, in fact,
as a general food, Grape Nuts stands
alone"
