Farmer In Minnesota-Plew Under SU
Inches of Snow A Lake Equal la
Beauty te These tn Italy.
Tlie following It from a private letter
from ex-Alderman Win. J. Fordney, who
left this city en November 13th en a
pleasure trip te Alaska, lie Is new In
Seattle Mere interesting tetters about the
new aUiteand Alaska will appear in the
iKTBLMQKKCKn :
Tacoma, Washington, Nev. 27. Here X
am in Tuceina, the muddiest city I was
was ever in. If I don't get out of it seen
the mud will le se deep that I will net be
uble te. arrived here yesterday and was
thoroughly tired eut,,arter two weeks of
utmost incessantly bein in the car.. After
the train pulled out of Lancaster the con
ductor said : " That was a geed bit of noise
your friends made ever "your departure."
The weather tried its beat te inake me feci
t home, for it ralned'all the way te Chicago
mid from there te Minneapolis It snowed.
I stepped only one hour in Chicago, but
that was enough, as it was raining. The
scenery through Wisconsin was beautiful,"
us overythlng was covered lightly with
snow and tlie weather wasjustceld enough
te keep It from melting. In several places
In Wisconsin I saw tlie farmer plowing
with about six Inches of suew en the
ground. This struck me as strange, but
en inquiry I found that the dey before It
snewcti mey nau nau a nnni ram Which
was tlie first of any account they had had
for ever two months and tlie ground in
consequence hud (wen tee dry for plowing
and new as It w euld seen freeze they took
advantage of the wet ground te plow, re
gnrdless of tbe snow.
I arrived at Minneapolis en Thurs
day afternoon and slopped at tlie
Nicollet house, en Washington avenue. I
found it a first-class hotel. I staved In
Minneapolis and St. Paul soveral days,
looking at tlie cities. There are a great
many handseme buildings In both cities,
andlse a great many that are net se
lmndsouie. I met "Dutehy." Reseufeld,
who had many questions te ask about
Lancaster: he is working with his brelber-In-lnw,
C. II. Oswald, of Oswald Bres.,
photegrnphors. I saw Thad Dickey every
day; he is living with his family In Mill Mill
cnapells, and appear te be prospering j he
Is active In politics in the Eighth ward,
which, diflering from Lancaster, Is the
llepublicau stronghold. I also saw
Clins. A. Meyor, who was a graduate
of Franklin and Marshall cel lege of the
class of '8.1. He la practicing law in
Minneapolis. He was very prefuse in his
attcntleus in showing me about theclty
and says he will always be glad te de the
etame for any Lancastrian, and hones anv
coming out there will hunt him up, no
inalter whether they knew him or net.
Minneapolis is a city that has grown very
fast of Inte, and is still growing rapidly.
With its evor 200,000 inhabitants It has net
get 300 drinking saloons, which Is about
half as many as Lancaster has. Going
west from the river the stroets running
north and south are 1st, 2d, te te 64th ;
west of the cast side of 0th street there are
no saloons. I visited Minnehaha Falls,
but very little water was running ever
then en account of the past season having
been se very dry. While in Minneapolis,
after the day I arrived there, the weather
was clear and pleasant, the thermometer
" averaging about 40". Half of the overcoats
Jwern in Minneapolis am made of buffalo
or wolf rebes or heavy cloth with large fur
cellar and culls.
I continued my way west en Wodnesday,
the 20th, by way of the Northeru Pad lie
railway en sleeper " Bozeman," taking my
mejls en dining car " Brunswick." On
these cars I had the longest continuous ride
of my trip, from 4:55 p. in. of the 20th until
11 n. in. et the 23d, when I get off at Spokane
Falls. The train was full and thore were
he me very pleasant passengers. Among
(hem the Mrs. Kev. Carver. returning te
her home at San Francisce, after having,
been at uucage unending me convention
of the W. C. T. U. She quietly gave me u
pointer, She said that the Prohibitionists
would ccitulnly carry this country, but who
could net tell me exactly w lien. The most
Interesting pissengers were two handseme
young ladies from Applcten, Wis., bound
ier Seattle, te join their brether and father
who had proceeded them there 11 ve years
age. They ex poet te make Soattle their
home, ami I suppese they will boeontontod
there provided they can obtain chewing
gum, lertlieir supply had exhausted along
the read, and they had te replenish it at u
way station. I am afraid that when they
arrive at their destination the heart of
many a Seattlcite will be turned topsy tepsy
turvy. We hud the two oxtremesof con
ductors, the dining car conductor was as
disagreeable and disobliging as any I have
ewerboen, and the sloejier conductor, C. E.
Hedges, of Chicago, was just the reverse ;
he was very obliging and made himself
pleasint and agrceable te overybody en
the train. The scenery during Woune Weune
tluv and Thursday was uninteresting;
plains ceveied with dry grass ; there was
no snow en the ground through Mlune
HOta and Dakota. The through train overy
day runs in two sections 30 minutes apart ;
the second carries emigrants, and every
day runs back cast empty. 18 miles west
et Farge, In North Dakota, we passed the
the greit wheat farm of Oli"or iMlrymnle,
containing about 5,000 acres. Near Bis
marck we crossed the muddy Missouri
rlver ever u grarefu!, substantial bridge of
about 3,000 tect in leiiglh, A lew miles
beyond Dickinsen, in Dakota, we en en
eol ed what is culled "the bad lands
of the Little Missouri. "Here we hud grand,
fiiLturt'fcque Bcenery, which was inade mero
nteresting after having passed se long
through dry plains. AtOlendive, 40 miles
w est of Dakota in Mentana, we ontered the
Yellowstone alley and fellow ed the river,
crossing and re-cressing It for 310 miles,
but unfortunately the train passed this
part of the read at night and the beauty of
Iho scenery was lest In the darkness.
Wlb?s City, in thls,vulley, w as at. ene time
the chief liculquartorsjef the buffalo hun
ters. Gambling was' then kept up year
in anil car out, day and night,
and Its cometory, which was well
tilled, contained the graves of but three
perseus w he died a natural death. On Fri
day we woke up te see the ground covered
with snow, and snow falling as we passed
JJvingsten,the ontrancetethe Yellowstone
Jrnrk. Near Townsend we entered the
tecky Mountain pass, stepped awhlle at
Helena alie) at Miillan ; at an olevatlen of
5,547 feet wa entered the Mullan tunuel,
which is 3.850 feet long, and came out of it
it the Faclfle slope. The next station we
reached was Garrison, the nearest station
en tlie N. 1. railroad te the elty of Butte,
being a couple of hours ride distant en the
Mentana union railway. Butte Is the
greatest mining elty In the world. After
passing tlie town of Missoula the seenery
is grand, but here also we travel at night.
Uowever, it was clear and I stayed up
pearly all night enjoying it as well as I
could under the circumstances. Saturday
we pasied through Idaho. The scenery of
rocks, mountain gorges and tall stately
filne trees as we rau along Clark's Ferk of
he Columbia wa grand. Ineersaw
water of as dark a shade of green as this
was.
At Hene, in Idaho, we changed te
Pacific" tliue; at Maudan, In Da
kota, we changed te "Mountain"
tlme, and nt Pittsburg we changed
te "Central" tlme. Frem " Eastern" tlme
each time is ene hour slower than the pro
ceeding tlme, se you see that you are new
three hours ahead of me. Hepe is a town
en tlie banks of lake Pend D Orollle. The
railroad fellows the shore of this lake for
about 25 miles. I have seen lakes in many
jxirts of tlie world, the most interesting
iuJ beautiful of which were tlie Italian
jakc, but this lake Pend I) ' Oreille. In my
iCHmauen, is as interesting aim as ueauii
fulns jnw fiflilun lakes ever w ere or can be.
It has small islands here and there which
tUe from the water edge jKtrpendlcularly
several hundred feet; is surrounded
by range upon range of mountains
rising from the waters edge and
Irem each ether te heights arylng from
,100 te 10,000 tout, w ith the peaks of most of
jhem covered with snow. Besides the
manvKeld. slUer and ether mines that
T. - V. '., .. . ,i ,
auuu in tuts ceuuiry, it is aise a great
Il
country for game, such aa deer, elk, bear,
prairie chicken, ducks, caribou, moose,
geese, partridge, mink, beaver, ban,
KreuMfhMMU sad snipe; also plenty or
gmylmg, wkHethaVend several rarietle
of trout. At neon te-day I Mopped at
Spokane Falbj for two days. The Urn thing
1 saw en getting off of the train was
two girl riding by en horseback, both
en the Bane hone. Te-night I waa very
tired and I wee In bed before eight
o'clock. I stepped at the Cliff house. One
meal I ordered tenderloin beefsteak i in
Spokane they reckon everything a having
occurred before or eince the fire, but for
the age of the animal from which that ten
derloin waa taken the word "flood" should
te substituted for "Are." The next meal
I ordered venleea ateak. I waa given a
large piece of excellent venison, and It did
net coat aa much as the beefsteak. After
that venison waa geed enough for me, even
If it waa cheaper than beelsteak. On
Menree street a wooden trestle bridge,
lower lit the centre than at either end.abeut
300 feet long and averaging nearly 100 feet
In height, cresses Spokane river just below
the falls. The bridge does net leek aafe.
A light anew waa fading nearly all the tlme
I was In Spokane ; It melted as it fell, and
the streets net being paved at all everything
waa mad, mud, mud. I have oeme te the
conclusion that all the streets In all the
towns In the stain of Washington are mud.
The citltens sayvthat a person Boen gete
used te It and does net notice It. Never
thele In the next breath you can hear
them swearing at it. Spokane Is the busiest
town I have ever seen; new frame, stone
and brick buildings, large and small, are
being erected In all parts of the city. In
consequence a person must walk' In the
street mere than half of the time. The town
leeks like a big camp, for half of the houses
In the business part of It are nothing mere
than touts. There are hardly any traces of
me lire te de seen, rne ihiis in me river
are a u-rahd siuht. The rlver at one place Is
divided by basaltle islands Inte three dis
tinct streams, each curving toward the ether
and falling into oue common basin from
which they make a surging and foaming
S lunge of us feet t, above the point where
ie Islands divide the river thore are also
ether falls. In a distance of less than half
a mile the river falls 150 feet. All along these
falls are Heur and saw mills. Many artificial
dams and ehutes have also been erected and
are still being erected. These falls represent
a force of 210,000 horse power. At one part
of the falls, where the water has been
turned out of Its natural course te allow
werkmen te build a dam, you can see
where the water, through the solid rock for
a lengthef about 60 feet, has cut a chasm
about 3 feet wide by about 8 feet deep. On
account of the mud I was compelled te buy
and wear a pair of gum shoes, the first ones
I ever were. On Monday, at neon, I left
Spokane. West of Pasco Junction WJ
cressad Columbia river en a long, substan
tial bridsre. and then bemn the crossing
of the Cascade range of mountains,'
the summit of which Is cut by a tunnel of
9,850 feet In length, through which we
passed, and after descending the west slope
of this range we reached this muddy city
Tacoma, en Commencement bay. I saw
Fred Pyfer te-day and he Is looking very
well. He says he has gained 13 pounds in
the last two weeks, and that he likes
the country very much. This letter
tells you pretty much all that I have done
and seen since I left home and leaves me
new stickincr In the mud at Tacerua.

men at Akren, en the night of October 19.
in a row with aome companions, after all

Mayser, They walked four or fl e squares
and then parted. Heffman returned te
Bupp's hotel, but it was clesed and he
could net get in. He then walked away te
leek for shelter and at the railroad met n
man who asked him for a match. He saw
that it was the stranger from whom

stranger's borne; It began te rain very hard
and they went into a coal shed along the
railroad for shelter. While there they
talked about the stranger's work. The
stranger said lie get 91.76 per day for his
work. This statoment witness disputed
and a wordy altercation follewod which
ended in his calling the stranger a liar, and
as seen as he had dene se the stranger
pulled out a revolver and shot him. The
stranger was under the inmience of liquor
and had a bottle of whisky from wh'cli
both drank soveral times. Witness denled

The failure is thought te amount te $5C0,

the dry goods district, although It was net
exactly unex peeled. The assets ure ex
pected te make a geed show for the credi

SENATOR TJJRPIEON TRUSTS.
HCSiVSTMEV ASK THE GIGANTIC SI 8F
TBIS AGE 1NB GENERATION'.
The Claim That They Are a Public Bene
lit Dented Trust Products, He
Thinks, Should Be Confiscated.
WASJUjcattHr, Dee. 10,-In the Senate,
te-day, a resolution offered yesterday by
Mr. Turple, a te " trusts," was taken up,
and Turple addressed the Senate upon It
at aeme length. As te the claim put
forward that trusts are a publie ben
efit in choapenlng prices, he asserted
that Instances of such kind were exceed
ingly rare, and only occurred whin a rift
or disagreement occurred and when the
trust was broken, or when an unusual de
pression In prices of materlala out of which
trust goods are manufactured tempted
outsiders Inte the business. The tact
waa that no trust was evor formed
with a vlew te publie Interest. Trusts
were the gigantic sin of this age and gener
ation. They were an Inqulteus system
that honeycombed the whole world of do
mestic commercowlth fraud, falsehood, sus
picion, distrust and Impurity. The trust
was a nuisance, open and notorious; but
it could net be grappled with and sup
pressed as ethor nuisances, and such legis
lation as was proposes! In bills Introduced
by Sherman and Geergo (lu conjunction
with his own preposition for confllscatlen
of trust goods) should be enacted and en
force!. A STAR CIIAMnKU SESSION,
The Street Committee Ge en a Jnuitt te
the City of East en.
A special meeting of the street committee
of councils was held en Monday evening,
Thore waa the same secrecy as te this
meeting as was used when tbe committee
wae called togetbor en last Wodnesday
afternoon, when the business considered
was the grant or the streets of the elty te a
foreign syndicate te establish olectrio rail
ways. Representatives of the press were net In
formed of last night's meeting until after
the committee had udjoureod. This morn
ing when C. A. Gast,clerk of the committee,
waa called upon for an abstract of the
business transacted, he said he had no In
formation te glve and that his Instructions
were te send all reporters te the chairman
of the committee.
The ofllce of the chairman was next
visited, but he was absent from the city,
having gene te Harrrsburg. It was said at
his office that he would be home en the
Seashore Express.
A moniber of the stroet committee who
was net at the meetlmr was seen. He said
te a representative or Iho Intklmeknckh
that the attempt te keep from tlie press the
bualness transacted was net the proper
thing. The people or the city, he aald, had
a right te knew what Is going en, when
matters of importance were considered.
He then went en te say that the commit commit commit
tee met specially te talk ever the electric
railway scheine and that it was decided te
Sa te Easten te leek at the olectrio railway

offered te take the committee, at their ex ex ex

WHAT A MKMIirjK SAYS.
Frem a inember or tlie commltteo who
was at the meeting it was learned that the
commltteo met specially at the request or
the syndicate, and a communication was
read from it offering te bear the expenses
of the commltteo and a few councllmen
specially invited te sce tlie workings or an
eloctrle railway te Kasten. This proposi preposi
tion the commlttce voted down, but it was
decided te go te Kasten. Some of the
members of the committeemen agreed te
go only en condition that they should pay
their own expenses, but whother all will
de se will be ascertained later en.
In addition te the commltteo, Invitations
.were extended te the mayor and the presi
dents or both branches of councils, Messrs.
Baumgardner and Franlz of common
council, and Mr. Everts or solect council.
The commltteo sav that nena or the syn
dicate will be at Easten while they are
there, but it Is likely that ene or Its repre
sentatives will turn up there te Impress
upon the members the importance or hav
ing an olectrio railway here.
