Golddigger Returns.

uOl0ulgger Returns.
Ole Mengshol, father of Mrs. Gus
Amundson, returned from Nome, Alas
ka, last Saturday, after an absence of
"a years and six months. He carries
bis 74years remarkably well consider
ing the hardships he has endured dur
ing the last quarter century of his life.
Monday morning he called at The Re-
porter office and told some very inter-
estlng things about his stay in the far
North where he and thousands of 9TH
ers went to dig their fortune out of the
frozen ground in the rocky valley of
the Copper river. Like the majority he
comes home with tale Accordingly in
teresting, but without the riches he
hoped lay hidden in the soil of Alaska
waiting for him to dig out. IT have
found gald, he said, ''then lost it
again. Worked at my trade as car
penter and made good money only to
stake it on new mining venture. I
have always worked my own claims,
and would still be in Alaska if z had
not been injured last spring" And
then he told how he in the wrecking of
an old round house was caught under
12xl4 foot door, had his back so badly
crushed that he was unable to continue
at work, and then thought of his chill
dren and old friends in Wisconsin. He
left Nome two weeks ago and came to
Edgerton via Seattle.
Asked why he decided to go to Alas
ka In the first place, he said: 81 had
been working land on Koshkonong and
later near Stoughton, the George Golf
farm, and did well. Then my wife
died. The Klondike stories were inter-
esting many people, and 125 OF us or
gained accompany at Madison and / as
one started out. This was in the sprihg
of 1898.
did you meet DR.. Kittilson of
Stoughton up there?" Eyes, in 1900 /
met him at Nome. He came there
about the time the reindeer from Nor
way was introduced in Alaska by the
Presbyterian missionary, DR.. Jackson.
! took claim on Copper river
In the conversation it developed that
ne and comrade fitted out an expedi-
ton to prospect on the east coast of
Siberia in 1902 and 1903, and again
later in 1905 and the following year.
On this expedition thousands Of dollars
were spent for passage, stores and
mining equipment. On both trips they
endured great hardships, especially on
the last when Mr.. Mengshol on two diff
ferent occasions nearly lost his life by
drowning. They were icebound hun
dreds Of miles from shore. They hired
natives to haul their goods by dog
teams $50 miles, only to save the first
load and discover that Eskimos had
stolen the provisions left in the vessel.
\ Were the Eskimos friendly?''
s'Sometimes they were, but they had
to be frightened not to take advantage.
On one occasion they came to our hut
and one of them had gun He fired
at us after coming In, but I and my
partner overpowered him and threw
him out into showdrift and gave him
a pounding. The next day he came
back with polar fox skin as peace
offering. We took the skin, but paid
him in food and other articles for it. !"
Mr.. Mengshol said that Alaska is full
of coal but transportation facilities are
lacking. They paid $38 and 500 ton
for soft coal shipped in from British
Columbia. The past summer has been
rainy and cold in Alaska.

ony were also callers.
It is reported that negotiations be-
tween M. Bekkedal & Son of Westby

tive Tobacco Pool for the Bekkadal
warehouse at Viroqua are practically
settled. The deal involves some $35, 900
to $40, 900.
c.. H. Eimerbrink of Philadelphia,
representing Otto Eisenlohr & Bros,
was in Edgerton last week comforting
with T. A. EIlingson, their Wisconsin

Tobacco, the weekly trade review,
New York, presents in the Sept %
number interesting illustrated articles
dealing with machinery and mechanical
devices utilized in the tobacco industry.
The articles deal with the economics of
automatic machinery and methods in
tobacco factories, control of curing and
re- drying of tobacco.
The Madison State Journal is quoting
Mr.. Gary of the P. Lorillard Co. as
stating that by January 1st fifteen
warehouses, till then under lease by his
company, can be had by the pool if ar
rangements with the owners can be
satisfactorily made. He is also quoted
as estimating that the 1922 crop will
produce IS million pounds of tobacco of
which 80 per cent is covered by pool
contracts.
Thursday evening last week fire de-
stroyed the barns, tobacco shed, gran
airy, stripping house and tobacco ware
house belonging to Herman Anderson,
tobacco grower and packer at James,
vile. Some 1918 and parts of succeed
ing crops, in all over 200 cases of to-
bacco, were destroyed, also 10 acres
1922 hanging in the shed. The home
was saved. The loss is estimated at
$40, 900 with insurance Of about $50, 900.
The Reporter forecast in last weeks
issue of 1922 production is sustained by
the Marketing Department estimate
issued Oct. IL. The report says: With
greatly reduced acreage and the un-
favorable weather conditions of late
August and early September, the 1922
crop of tobacco will be only approx
mately 45. 1893, 600 pounds. The leaves
are short and of medium quality. Some
of the crop was cut and put into sheds
under adverse conditions and is not cur
ing satisfactorily.

the high school building, from which
the Edgerton Concert band, under the

crowd who had come to look on in
terested and furnished pleasure to those
who danced. The RiaIto theaJer per-
formances were we'll patronized, and
altogether the evening was pleasantly
spent by guests and hosts alike. The
Merchants Guest Evening deserves to
become regular institution with added
features worked out as they suggest
themselves from year to year.
