The surplus last year was estimated At

The surplus last year was estimated At
200 .000, 900 bushels.
A few hours after the departments
forecast, Representative Jones, DEM
ocrat, of Texas tried unsuccessfulIy to
obtain House approval OF I resolution
to limit the 1899 wheat acreage TO 81, !.
100000 acres, about l0.000. 900 below
the 1898 planting.
An objection came from Repre-
sentative Case. Republican, Of South
Dakota, who said he favored ailp-
eating wheat acreage by classifica-
tions on q l0-year production bass.
Representative Case contended there
was no surplus Of hard wheat, and
said that type should receive special
consideration.
The Agriculture Economics Bureau
previously had said that United States
wheat growers could not expect much
help in disposing Of surplus from
the European drought. It said ex-
ports probably would fall below the
10000, 900 bushels estimated for this
year. i
Two reasons were given: The ex-
pectation that world wheat produc-
ton would be on q level with last
year and that demand would decrease
because of depressed economic con-
ditions.
Last years domestic production Of
winter wheat was 6s5, ,l02, 900 bushels,
compared with l0-year average of
546.3s6.000. Total wheat production
was s73.s93 900 bushels last year and
the l0-year average was 732, ,S00, 900.

MRS. CAROLINE BUCK TELLS
OF THE "49ERS''

Dear Sir:-I read your kind COM
ment in regard to my communication
concerning poem "Muskingum Riv-

poem in full but could not recall ALL
| and failed to find original / think
/ may have left it at my home near
Big Bottom park. Now in regard to
| information concerning the Cali
fornia '49ers, I can recall some in

who was William Montgomery,
brother of Mrs. Eli Shepard, and
Comfort Edwards of McConnelsville,
| and Mrs. DR.. Martin, mother of
Captain Ed Martin of GAINESVILLE.
Will also say that my fathers first
wife was Lydia Jones, sister Of Jas.
X. Jones, of McConnelsville.
In regard to the '49ers, my aunt,
| Comfort Edwards and family, Il do
not recall uncle Edwards given
| name) went from McConnelsville
with the '49ers, by covered wagon
They had long and somewhat Sc
we're experience crossing the plains.
| Several of the party got sick and
discouraged and returned home.
| One man died, and they buried him
| on the plains, and then went on.
| Mr. Edwards was quite sick, but
| would not turn back. They reached
| California pretty much worn out,
| and somewhat discouraged. The
| sight Of the newly mined gold gave
| them new courage, and they be-
| gan work in earnest. They were
| somewhat successful in securing a
| small fortune in gold. Mr.. Edwards
did not improve in health, but in
stead got much worse, losing out
| mentally. They decided to return
to McConnelsville. Mr.. Edwards not
being able to make the return trip
by land, they were forced to come
by water way around "The Horn"
| Mr.. Edwards died and they stopped
at Memphis, Tenn, and buried him
there. They had two boys who
were with them. While at Men,

ed they had gold with them, and
that they were being followed by
two "gold sharks" watching for a
| chance to get their gold. He did
not tell Mrs. Edwards, but he sta
toned armed guards at her state.

| they reached the Ohio river, and
she transferred to the Ohio river
boat, the captain then told her of
her danger, and also Informed the
| captain OF the Ohio river boat. They
stationed guards near her doors at
all times. They saw no more Of the
| 'gold sharks" and reached McCon-
nelsville safely, without loss. A
few years later the eldest son (I
think his name was Fernandus) not
certain) Edwards, went to New
York City and began dealing in cof-
fee. He made some good deals
which encouraged him. He then
went In heavily and lost out, not
being thoroughly discouraged, he
determined to make good the loss.
