ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Peter Pond, Pathrnaker
Elmo Scott Watson

THEY say that when Peter Pond
L was born to the wife of Mil
ford, Conn.,, shoemaker in l740 he
arrived in restless mood" and
from that time until the end of his
life he was constantly on the 60.
His father wanted him to "stick to
the last" but the boys restlessness
led him into the British army at the
age Of l6. He served under Lord
Howe, Sir William johnson and Gen.
eral Amherst in Canada and there
learned of the wealth of the country
he was helping to conquer. 1t was
furs and he was destined to become
one of Americas greatest fur trad
ers.
After the French and Indian war
was over, he went to sea and after
a successful voyage to the West In
dies returned to Milford to find his
mother dead. So he took charge OF
his eight younger sisters and broth
ers until his father returned from a
trading trip to Detroit.
When his father died Peter as
sumed his debts and in 1765 went
to Detroit to engage in the Indian
trade. He spent one winter at Mich
illimackinac, then "took another
turn to We West Indies" But he was
soon back in the West-at Prairie
du Chen and Green Bay, Wis.
About ITS he gave up the trade
in the Mississippi valley and went
up into Canada. He Is said to have
been the first white man to reach
the Peace river country and when
the North West company was or
ganized in 1874 he was one of the
shareholders. He helped wrest the
valuable Chipewayan trade away
from the Hudson's Bay company
and he inspired the famous explor-
ing expedition of Alexander Macken-
zie to the Pacific. Pond sold out
his interests in the North West COM
pany in 1870 and is said to have died
in poverty few years later.

A Dumas Hero

"HEN Irish-born Thomas Phe-
w Ian died in Bremerton, WASH,
in 1909, at the age of 70 it marked
the passing of a character who
might have stepped out of one of
Dumas novels. When he was Il
Phelan came to America, seeking
adventure, and arrived in Kansas
in time to take part in the border
wars as a follower of John Brown
of Osawatomie.
In jackson county. Mo-, he was
captured by pro-slavery bushwhack-
ers, who shot him and left him for
dead. Upon recovering, he enlisted
in the Union army. rose from SER
geant to the rank of captain and
served throughout the Civil war.
Once he and several of his company
were captured by Quantrill's guer-
rillas and sentenced to be shot.
Their lives were saved by a Fed
eral commander who threatened to
hang an equal number of Southern
sympathizers il they were harmed.
After the war, Phelan, with his
sword-cane, was picturesque fig-
ure on the streets Of Kansas City
where he became noted for his skill
as swordsman and his readiness
to settle any quarrel on the duelling
grounds with rapier or pistol. Then
he enlisted in the fight for Irish
freedom, Joined the Fenians but
quarreled with some of their lead
ers because Of their terroristic
methods. As result, three "dyna-
miters" in 1885 attacked him in his
office and almost slashed him to
death with their daggers before he
beat them of. After many months
in the hospital he finally recovered
from his wounds.
In 1894 Phelan won International
fame when the French captain, Al
fred Dreyfus, was courtmartialed
and sentenced to Devils Island.
Phelan Immediately denounced
Count Esterhazy as the forger Of
the documents which convicted
Dreyfus and challenged him to a
duel. The charges of the Irish SOL
der Of fortune were ridiculed but
later events proved that he was
right.

hunter. ''mountie," saloon-keeper
and government agent. They called
him "Thirty-Thirty" Jack after the
rifle he carried instead Of the usual
six-shooter.

into partnership with Tex Rickard,
the famous prize-fight promoter.
Their business interests were cen

HOGS DROP TO
PRE-WAR LEVEL
Top Says to $6.4O Tuesday,
Cattle Forced Lower
Lambs Also Lose

South st. Paul, Mimi, October 8,
1889: A 35c decline on Monday fol-
lowed by 25-35c drop Tuesday
carried the top on hogs to the low
est point since before the outbreak
of the present European war, ac-
cording to the Federal-State Mar
ket News Service. This series of
downturns which has progressed
for eight consecutive market days
has pulled the top from SITS on
September 81 to a current top of
$6.40. This weeks downturn meas
ured 60-75c. Sows at the present
are selling at $5.OO-5.5O or 65-75c
lower than last Friday. Pigs de-
clined sharply in sympathy.
Receipts again increased with
the arrival of seasonally large
shipments of western grassers and
the opening of the fourth quarter
quota for Canadian imports. About
Is cars of grassy Canadian cattle
arrived on the first two days of
trading while more than 200 cars
of grass cattle, largely stockers or
feeders arrived from the west.
Prices worked lower under the
weight of liberal numbers anil in
sufficient buying support. Slaughter
steers were largely 25c lower, in
stances off more on grass fat kinds.
Heifers turned weak to 25c lower,
and cows fully Csc lower, extreme
SOC off on fleshy grassers. Bulls
were 25-50c lower due to heavy
Canadian offerings. Vealers lost
fully SOC and replacement cattle
were weak to Csc down. Choice
fed steers earned $9.75-10.25, COM
parable heifers around $1,000. Good
cows got up to $3.50, Gamers and
cutters $3.50-4.5O. Most sausage
bulls got $5.25-6.00. Western stock
steers bulked at $7.50-9.00, best
calves reaching $1,000, common
steers down to $500. Good and
choice vealers realized $9.00-10.50.
Dairy cows weakened with fat cow
downturns. Most springer cows
sold at $55.OO-75.0O, very good heavy
shippers up to $500.
A downward break of 75c on fat
lambs featured the sheep and lamb
trade. Other classes showed little
change. The decline on fat lambs
placed good and choice natives at
$S.5O-8.75 on Tuesday, and the bulk
sold at the inside. Good and choice
slaughter ewes brought $3.25-3.75,
common and medium grades $500
800. Native feeding lambs bulked
at $7.5O-7.75, and Dakota and range
feeders secured $8.25-8.90 on Mon
day.

MINNESOTA WORK
PROJECTS ADMINISTRA.
TON ANNOUNCEMENT

In accordance with the provision
Of the 1889 Relief Act prohibiting
continuous employment on WPA
for more than 10 months, 16,419
workers have been terminated
through August 81, s. L. Stolte,
state WPA Administrator, announc-
ed recently. He estimated that
5000 more workers had been re-
leased by the end of September.
Although the lay-of of persons
on the WPA rolls for 10 months
or more was designated to spur the
acceptance of private employment
an estimate prepared by the WPA
Statistical Division in st. Paul re.
vealed that the average age of per-
sons 50 terminated was 43.8 years
and that 81 percent were over So
Additional evidence Of the rela.
lively high age levels of this group
is apparent in the fact that only
6 percent of the dismissed workers
were under rs years, 33 percent
were between rs and 80 years, while
81 percent were over 40 years Of
age.
Mr.. Stolte pointed out that not
only would this high age level make
it difficult for many to secure priv.
ate work, but that the hardships
certain to result from this cessa-
ton Of income would have IA, mani
fold effect. The statistical data
showed that 80 percent of the dis.
charged workers had from four to
eight dependents, and that 2 per.
cent had nine or more dependents
Average family size was four per.
sons. Therefore, the lay-off would
affect the livelihood of approximate.
ly 1900 individuals in Minnesota
That the urban areas of the State
would be more seriously affected
by these dismissals was a further
indication Of this analysis. OF the
total number of dismissals, So per-
cent were in urban areas, while AZ
percent were in rural areas. In
formation is not yet available as to
what actually has happened to
workers dismissed on the basis OF
10 months of continuous employ
ment. Persons so released must
remain off the rolls for 80 days
They are then eligible for re-cer-
tification and their names go in
the waiting assignment" file.
Mr.. Stolte announced that a Min
nesota employment quota of 1880
has been received for October. This
represents an increase of $50 over
the September quota of 1880. The
additional workers will be obtained
from the files of certified persons
now awaiting assignment to pro-
jects.
Realizing the losses in consumer
buying power resulting from dis
missals from WPA projects in
Ramsey county alone, some 5000
st. Paul employers have been in
vited to join in a campaign to find
jobs for idle men," Mr.. Stolte said
In st. Paul the Mayors Employ
ment Committee has formed an en-
ployment office and announced its
cooperation with the Minnesota
Division of Employment and Sc.
curity and the Welfare Board.
