DEATH VALLEY.

Death Valley is the most barren
part of the great American desert
More men have died in its arid wastes
than on any other equal area OF the
worlds surface, barring the great

the sandy plain. about two hundred
and f1fty miles north and cast of Los
Angeles, California. and within the
boundaries Of that state The valley
received its sinister namc owing to
the fact that In the early fifties a
party of emigrants. some hundred and
twenty In number. travelling overland
by wagon from Salt Lake City. Utah.
TO Los Angeles. perished In it's awful
solitudes. barely a man escaping,
In the March Wide World Magazine
is given the story OF man who alone
and unaided, conquered Death Valley
In the hottest month OF the desert
year, The tale OF awful suffering en-.
dured by this man. H. W Manton. Of
Rhyolite. California. is told for the
first time in his own words.
For almost a week Manton was lost
in the heart of Death Valley. in three
days he tramped eighty miles over
sands so hot that he could scarcely
walk on them, though shod with heavy
shoes. During those never-ending
days he had no food and but one
drink OF wetor,
When he staggered up to Cub Lees

alive, his tongue was swollen TO such
size that his mouth would no long

were cracked open, bis clothing was

with heavy enorustation Of borax.
and other alkalines. which had eaten
great holes In the leather.
At fret he could not drink, and the
touch of water was as fire To his
parched lips and tongue. Kind'hearb-
ed ranchmen and miners forced the
precious fluid into his mouth with
straw, with a spoonany way TO get
him revived. And eventually he
spoke, telling the strange story OF
his crossing the dread pit, OF how he
had wandered therein for many DAYS

and the snakes OF the barren SANDS

BUSINESS is BOOMING.

With the election over and cooler
weather here the increased activity in
the stores of Fargo is very noticeable.
This is especially so in the clothing
and department stores
Retail trade all over the country has
been somewhat slow during the early
part of the fail. This was partially due
to election excitement and also to the
warm weather. The fact that the crops
were not as good as formerly also had
tendency to make people hesitate till
they actually needed things.
Fargo merchants viii have a good
trade at least from now until the holi-
days are over. Many people are be-
ginning to purchase their Christmas
presents earlier than usual to avoid
the rush. The merchants are doing all
they can to encourage this sentiment
as IL means a relief at the close of the
holiday season. 1t also means the GUS
toner who buys early can get better
service, as well as the choice Of the
holiday goods-without waiting till
they are picked over.

LOWER WHEAT.

This is one Of the years when the
man who rushed his wheat to market
got the laugh on his more cautious
neighbor Wheat is selling about 10
cents lower now than earlier in the fall.
The man who held his grain not only
had to have warehouse and granary
room, but he had to carry insurance
and lose the interest.
In most seasons the proposition
works the other way-but in this great
democratic year almost any old thing
is likely to go askew.
The Forum doesn't pose as a market
prophet, but it doesn't expect any big
boost in wheat prices till after the
holidays-despite the effort of the bulls
to work up the price before the close
of navigation at the head of the lakes.

Travellers Tales

On one of Samuel Kahn's visits
back home--San Antonio--he took
great pleasure in riding about the
country. The country around about
his home city was being we'll cared
for and the farmers were all pros
porous.
He observed that as usual the south
erners were not working. This dis
gusted him. The real reason why he
could never stand it to stay in the
south was because it was not fash
ionable to work, and he liked to work,
The fact that he is now manager of
one of Fargos largest business pro-
positions is evidence of the fact that
he likes work.
1t was very chilly for the south
and the North Dakotan was not pre-
pared for such weather for that elm
ate, although 1t would be like a Fargo
spring. He drove into small town
and went up to the town grocery
store to make a purchase and get his
hands warmed.
At the back of the store was a lone
man chewing his cud. The genial
Kahn opened up the conversation. Be
tween halves the native would make
spectacular attempts to hit the Gus
pidor, much to the amusement of the
Fargo man.
What do you do for living here p
finally asked Kahn.
