Journal Describes
mountain of Gold

In "a paper on the "Fisk Expeditions
to. the Gold Country" read by DR.,
Lester B. Shippee at the State His.
torical convention in Redwood Falls on
June %, an interesting story was told
e lost mountain of gold in the
Bad Lands not far from the Little
Missouri The Fisk expeditions OF
1862, 1863, 1864, and 1866 started
rom Fort Abercrombie and conveyed
gold hunters to Montana and the gold
country. The first three expeditions
vere supported by the United States
government.
The only day-by-day record OF the
81 expedition is that kept by DIR.
William D. Dibb, copy of whose
journal is now owned by the Min
nesota Historical society. This Jour-
nal records a trip made by Captain
isk and DIR. Dibb which took them a
considerable distance away from the
wagon train. They entered s.deep,
gloomy chasm" and soon found traces
of gold. Leading from this chasnl
was a deep coulee penetrating the
heart of the mountain. The feelings
of the discoveries are described in
the Dibb journal: "We climbed IN
the side of the mountain for more
than 300 feet, and found the gold
outcroppings far richer there than at
the base. 1t was so rich that the
gold struck out all over it and gave
the face of the cliff a yellowish tinge.
Suddenly it dawned on us that we had
stumbled on veritable mountain of
gold, on which human eyes, except
those of Indians, never before had
rested. We yelled, we shouted, and
we prayed"
On their way back Dibb and Fisk
were attacked by Indians and fled for
their lives. Dibb died not long aft
erward and Fisk spent his last years
1T the Minnesota Soldiers home,
There is no record of the lost noun
tain of gold ever having been again
located.
In addition to the Dibb journal the
historical society now has on file a
my of the journal of Samuel r
Bond for the journey of 1862. Bond
served as secretary of the expedition
and his official report was published
bv the United States government.
The diary, however, contains much
that is omitted from the published
report. -Montevedio News.

Hot Dogs.

erage house, who, has, after achieving
a S2,000,000 failure, descended from
the sale of guilt-edged securities to
the peddling of hot dogs from a
roadside stand, let US consider the
commercial status of the hot dog.
The hot dog is the most popular of
CANNES. The demand for him is in
satiable and universal. So keen is the
appetite of Americans for hot dogs
that hundreds of thousands of far
sighted merchants all over the ocun-
try are rushing into the business of
purveying them, and are still unable
to respond adequately to the eager
anuisitions of the dog eaters. The
principal transcontinental highways
are already lined with hot dog stands
placed at intervals of half a mile
from coast to coast, and the pros
poets are that during the present
season the gaps between will be rapid
~ filed up, so that the hungry mot
orist may be supplied at any stage of
his journey without a moments de-
lav. Hot dog stands are appearing on
the byroads, and are causing conges-
lion at the gateways Of all our large
cities.
We do not know what proportion of
the population is engaged IN the sale
# hot dogs, but we do know that
the profession welcomes with open
arms additions to its ranks; that there
IS urgent need for more hot dog
stands; that hot dogs are honest and
necessary merchandise, and any man

Telephone Manners.

Few modern inventions, says the
Wonnan's Home Companion, have add
ed so much to our daily convenience
and comfort as the. telephone. Yet it
isesusceptible EFF abuse, and, unhap-
PLY, al 700 often it lis Echanged from
an instrument of assistance into a
device of diseourtesy and ukindness.
We are ali too familiar with the sit
uation decried by j. NJ Keynes, the
well-known English economist, who
wrote recently:
At no time during the day can /
rely on a quarter of an hours unin-
terrupted work. Any unconcentrat-
ed person who finds it easier to ring
up than send post card, any hostess
making up her party, any tourist who
thinks he would like a few words
with me, is entitled by the existing
conventions, and is able, suddenly and
at any hour, to interrupt my business
md make me attend to theirs.
Mr.. Keynes has remedy for these
telephone disasters, and one that we
could wish every user of the telephone
would adopt
I suggest that to ring up private
house, in any case in which post
card or letter would do equally well,
should be thought inconsiderate; that
stranger should have no more right
to use the telephone of private
house than to open the front door;
and above all, that it should be bad
manners, except among friends, to
issue an invitation on the telephone.
which gives the guest no time, without
apuarent rudeness on his part to con-
slider whether he is really free or
whether he wants to accept.
Mr.. Keynes calls this new and
improved code of manners" and so
: would, indeed, prove.-Christian
