Range Rider's Unique Feat
Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. D., Sept. 26.—Joe Hiett, the range rider who captured the purse here
on July 4 for the quickest work In roping and tying a steer, tried his talents with a
rope recently on a different kind of a catch. While riding across the prairie he
started a large gray wolf, but had nothing to work with except a short piece of
rope used In tying his horse. This was not over ten feet long, but a noose was
made in the end of it and the chase begun. After a run of about ten miles the wolf
tired and turned for a fight. As soon as Hiett could get his horse near enough the
savage animal he snapped a noose over its head, and then jumping down by the
frightened pony soon ended the existence of the wolf, which was dragged into camp
la triumph.

WAS A GOOD BOY
Faribanlt Cannot Explain the Dis
appearance of Young Rose.
Special to The Journal.
Faribault, Minn., Sept. 27. —Dr. Rose,
whose son Francis has ao mysteriously
disappeared at Amherst, Mass., has put
the case in the hands of the Pinkerton
detctive agency. Upon receipt of his son's
letter he communicated with the Amherst
college authorities, telling them to start
detectives at once. After some delay they
wired refusing to take the responsibility,
and by the time the doctor could com
municate with the Pinkerton agency four
or five days of valuable time had been
lost.
No reason can be assigned for the boy's
strange action except that he wanted to
go to sea. He is very quiet and has no
bad habits. He is a grandson of the late
Bishop Whipple, and is named as an heir
in the bishop's will.
The annual meeting of Faribault school
district is to be held in the high school
building, Saturday evening. Oct. 5, to vote
the school tax and for (he election of

500 Passengers and $500,000 in
Gold From Nome^
PRIZE NUGGET WORTH $1,552
Pamengeri Are Poorer Than When
They Went In—No New Claim*
Opened.
Port Townsend, Wash., Sept. 27.—The
steamship Senator has arrived from Nome
with nearly 500 passengers and over half
a-million in treasure. The Senator ex-
good weather until she reached
a point 200 miles off the Vancouver coast,
when she encountered a terrific gale,
which iasted several hours. A minor
accident occurred to her machinery, and
while repairs were being made the steam
er rolled fearfully, she having no freight
or ballast.
The Senator sailed from Nome, Sept. 16.
Out of a large number of passengers not
one of them brought as much money as
they took with them. All speak in high
terms of the country as a mining sec
tion, but say that the laws are such that
it will be years before the country will
open up. They say that not one new claim
has been opened in the vicinity of Nome
this season for the reason that when pros
pectors find pay diggings some one comes
along and claims it by right of prior lo
cation and it is then tied up in court.
The largest nugget ever found in the
north was taken out of Anvil creek, Sept.
14,, It weighs i»7 ounces and is valued at
$1,552.
A rich strike is reported on the head
of Grouse gulch. The pay streak is sev
enty-five feet deep and of unknown ex
tent. The claim was bonded for $50,000,
and the bond had lapsed but a few dayß
before the strike was made.
Sick and indigent people at Nome have
reached such large numbers that the ques
tion of what shall be done with them is
the main topic. This year there is no
government transport on which they can
be sent south, as was the case last year,
and the outlook for them is exceedingly
gloomy. The hospitals are taxed to their
utmost capacity and the sick and dis
tressed are clamoring for admission. Just
before the Senator sailed a mass meeting
was to be called for the purpose of rais
ing money to send that class out on the
last boat.
News comes from Dutch harbor to the
effect that tho killing of seals on St.
Pauls and St. George islands has caused
the seals to look for new quarters. A
Japanese, schooner found a new rookery
in the Aleutian group on an island called
Ooudlyr and made a raid on it, killing
most of the animals. Probably 2,500 car
casses' were found there by Captain Peter
son of the schooner Challenger, who re
ported it to the cutter Manning. The
Manning started out looking for the seal
r poachers, but failed to find them. She
picked up a boat with three Japanese
sailors who had been lost, and took them
to Unalaska and turned them over to the
United States authorities.

COAST AGRICULTURE
General Conditions in the Pacific
Region.
GOVERNMENT REPORT SYNOPSIS
Slse of FurmN, Transportation and
Export of Grain, Etc., Are
Treated Of.
Washington, Sept. 27.—The department
of agriculture has issued a report on the
general agricultural conditions in the Pa
cific coast region. It says:
Although the tendency of the past twenty
five years has been toward a gradual reduc
tion in the area of Individual farms and
ranches, they are sti'l.of a size much larger
than the average farm of the east or even
of the middle west. It is particularly true
in California. Another uistiuctlve feature,
especially in the great valley areas of Cali
fornia, is the use of machinery of great
capacity, which means an economy of human
labor but often also means a waste of grain.
Every effort is made to combine several
operations into one. Transportation of the
enormous quantity of Pacific coast wheat has
been reduced to a science. A large saving is
made by loading ships directly from the cars,
trains being run from tho wheatflelds to
tidewater at a very few hours notice.
In Washington and Oregon, however, tho
wheat is run through an elevator where it is
recleaned and mixed with other grades of
wheat .to bring it to the required standard
grade, after which it is resacked and loaded
on the vessels or cars for final shipment.
About 27,450,000 bushels of wheat are exported
annually from the Pacific coast, with a total
value of about $20,000,000. Of the 2,000,000
barrels of flour annually' shipped from the
Pacific coast ports during the past ten years,
nearly one-half is cleaied at San Francisco.
It has taken about 36,000,000 bushels of wheat
to supply the foreign markets with Pacific
coast wheat and flour. Of this amount Cali
fornia ports furnished more than 20,000,000
bushels.
THE MERRIAMS DIVORCED
STATE AUDITOR OP HAWKEYEDOM
Mrs. Merriam Was Wronged, but the
Husband Given Decree for
Alleged Desertion.
Special to The Journal.
Dcs Moines, lowa, Sept. 27. —State Aud
itor Frank F. Merriam was granted a de
cree of divorce by Judge Holmes of the
district court. Mrs. Merriam, who was
charged with desertion, made no opposi
tion to the decree. The proceedings were
begun in August under sensational cir
cumstances. •
The general understanding was that
Mrs. Merriam was the wronged party, but
it is said she does not believe in divorce
and would not begin the suit. An inci
dent in Merriam's career that preceded
the divorce action, though not directly
connected with it, was a fist fight between |
the auditor fwd his insurance clerk, Ed
ward Camp, who found his wife in Mer
riam's office in the Equitable building.
Camp 'broke into the office and there was
a stormy scene.
While Merriam secured the divorce.
Mrs. M&rriam is given ample alimony for
support of herself and child. She is also
given the custody of the child.
I, HIS OWN COMMISSION
President Roosevelt May Be Called
L lion to Si«ii It.
Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 27.—One of the
duties to be performed by Major General I
Arthur Mac Arthur as a member of the '
board of officers at Washington which is |
to pass upon certain recommendations for j
promotions, medals, and other things, will
be to determine whether President Roose
velt shall be given a rank below that
which he m>w holds—brevet of brigadier
general of volunteers for services per
formed at Santiago.
This will probably be the first time in I
the history of this country at least, if the j
recommendation is granted, that the pres
ident has been called upon to sign his
own commission. The board will simply
be obliged to sit in judgment upon the
acts performed long before Roosevelt was
president.
It was reported by a military man, who !
is qualified to speak with intelligence
upon such subjects, that the board, of
■which Major C«neral Mac Arthur will be !
president, will consider the matter just
the same as it would were the president I
simply a colonel of volunteers.
WRIGHT MAY BE WRON(?
Said to Have Acted as State Agent :
Without a License.
Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis., Sept. 27.—William
Wright, who was arrested at Jefferson on
the charge of effecting: insurance without
a license from the state department, was j
held for trial in the circuit court after j
preliminary examination before a justice |
of the peace. He was agent for the Minne- |
apolis Fire and Marine Mutual Insurance j
company, which is licensed to do business
in the state, and acted as state agent,
countersigning policies, which is not per
missible without a license. The penalty j
for the offense is a fine of from $50 to $500. !
Captain W. D. Howland, chief clerk in j
the office of the state board of control, I
has resigned, and goes to Milwaukee to '
take a position with a loan and trust i
company. M. E. McCaffrey of Monroe,

TRYING TO BURN CHAMPION
Two More Fires Started In the Up-
per Michigan Town.
Special to The Journal.
Champion, Mich., Sept. 27.—-A firebug is
operating in Champion. Two fires were
started this week, one in the Champion
Iron company's, big barn and the other
in the town hall. Bqth were extinguished
without damage to the buildings.
It is thought the miscreant is the same
fiend who set several fires here last fall
and winter, doing much damage. The
attempt to destroy the town hall this
week is the third one within a year and
the second one in the same time at the
big barn. All fires have occurred between
7 and 9 in the evening, causing many to
believe it is the work of a boy.
