According to Statement Of Kansas City
Man, "Salted" Mines Gave tho
Great Editor the Inspiration
for WelI-known Words.

According to 1som @. Stephens, who
runs q little corner grocery store In
Kansas City, the famous advice Of
Horace Greeley to "Go West" was
founded on fake bit Of persuasion in
the form of a "salted" gold mine near
Denver, Colo.
In the Spring Of 1850 Mr.. Stephens
was In Denver-then q mere frontier
village whose chief enterprise was
gambling-at the time when Horace
Greeley made the town visit. Steph-
ems was one Of a party Of six who
wasted considerable effort trying to
get real gold out of the identical To-
cality where the early day promoters
produced extravagant wealth before
Mr.. Greeley's eyes. The ruse worked
admirably. It was good for several coli
umns of the go west, young man"
STUFF right off the New York editors
trenchant pen.
Mr.. Stephens, by the way, has re.
markable record as pioneer. In four
different states he "pioneered" years
in advance Of the railway-Mich1gan
Kansas, Colorado and North Dakota.
MI. Stephens was born in log house
in the woods of Michigan In 1881.
II got the gold fever early in $780,"
MI. Stephens said. my brother-in-law
had been in Denver the year previous
and had struck it rich in placer min.
Ing. We learned Of excursion rates
OF $40 from Atchison to Denver, which
were cheap in comparison with the
regular rates Of $100 one way.
when we got to Denver the gold
fever was running high. Horace Gree.
ley, editor Of the New York Tribune.
and a member Of his staff were in
Denver. They sent back beautifully
worded stories of the grandeur Of the
west, and the possibilities of getting
rich. My father had been a subscrib-
er to the New York Tribune ever since
he built our log house In the Michi,
gan clearing In 1928.
"Our party got a tip on the mines
that Greeley had written about and we
went up near Boulder and tried our
luck. The six Of US showed gross re.
turn Of $1.27 worth of gold for the
WYNN WAN oA0COu1d6ou duu ual3
starved, we trailed back to Denver,
Shortly after that we learned that
the gold mines had been 'salted' for
tho purpose Of arousing Mr.. Greeley'a
enthusiasm.
"Mr. Greeley went back to New York
that spring. It was the season to put
ozone into the lungs OF city man
and make him think there was no
place like the boundless west. He
left staff writer in Denver that sum-
mer. followed the trail back to the
states tho same summer. A drought
had seized the land. Everything waa
parched and brown. It was a desolate-
looking landscape. After got back to-
Michigan I read the rosy accounts OF
the western country in the New York
Tribune, but they didn't look good to
me."-Kansas City Times.

fact, as the work is almost indispens.

This dictionary is not PUBLISH ed

A dictionary of such common sense

CROOKSTON MILL RUNNING,

Crookston, Minn., July 26.--Afte1
a struggle which began May 1, the
head of the log drive from Red LAKE
reached Crookston Thursday and the
mill, which exhausted the log supply
here after two weeks run, will re-
sume saving with an ample supply
of logs between heer and Red Lake
Falls to keep busy till the freeze up
next fall.
All the logs coming down will BE-
kept here, the Crookston Lumhe,
company having purchased those
owned by the Grand For ks Lumber
company as there was little prospect
of driving logs from here to Grand
Forks.
After a long struggle, and the dig
ging of channel to let the water out
of Red Lake into the Red Lake river,
sufficient water was secured to get
the logs down to Red Lake Falls.

SAYS CLARKE WILL WIN.
Candidate for Governor Will Receive
1000 600 Votes in Primary.

Des Moines May 20.-Iowa republi-
cans at the primary election June
will roll uD a total of 900 votes
for George w. Clarke. who is candi-
date for the nomination for governor,
according TO the estimate of Senator
Anthony NJ. McColl, the lieutenant
governors campaign manager.
In discussing the campaign Senator
McCou estimated there will be possibly
10000 republican votes cast. He Is
not at all worried that Senator A. V.
Proudfoot is going to be serious
factor, altho he admits the prohibition
vote will amount to considerable, and
that it will be all Proudfoots.
Senator McColl says P. G. Holden.
the third candidate for the nomination,
is strong in some counties, but in
great many others the fact that he is
a candidate will hardly be known by
the vote.
According to McColl the optimism of
Mr.. Clarke's friends is based upon the
belief that he is going to get a good
vote in every county in the state, while
the support Of the other two candidates
he considers decidedly "streaky."
1.-The campaign has now proceeded
far enough so that the friends Of
George w Clarke feel warranted in
sa wing with confidence that he will be
nominated for governor on June g."
said Senator McColl. 1--WE have not
gone into the newspapers nor have we
done any boasting, but have contended
ourselves with urging that all republic
cans who believe that Governor Clarke
is the right man to be the party leader
in the great campaign Of this year in
Iowa should give him their support
Reports from all over the state re-
ceived within the past week indicate
| that his nomination is certain.
THAT which is most encouraging to
us is the fact that the support for
Clarke is uniform in all parts OF the
state. We lind that other candidates
opposing him have some strength here
