The harvest of 1890 was a success in
every respect and the yield of the
wheat fully an average one, while the
quality was never belter. The snpply
of hay gathered is estimated as larger
than ever put up before. Barley and
oats were an average crop. Fruits,
except peaches and apples, were never
better. The peaches were injured in
the spring by frost and apples were
injured by insects. An increased
acreage of orchards, has made the
supply of both more than the average.

Washington, Oct. 4. .Secretary
Wiudom, Assistant Secretaries Net-
tleton and Spanlding and General
Appraiser Tichenor spent to-day over
questions that have arisen regarding
tho execntiou of tho new tariff law
which takes effect on Monday morn
ing.
Several importers, desirous of re
ceiving the full benefit of the existing
tariff rates, applied lo tho treasury de
partment for permission to enter their
goods at the custom houses up to mid
night on Sunday.
Assistant Secretary Spanld:ng ha3
informed them that thi3 is a matter
entirely within the discretion ot the
collectors of customs at the various
ports, and that the department is not
disposed to interfere in the matter.
General Spauldiug said to-day
that he , did not anticipate
any trouble with regard to
tho execution of the new law on the
Pacific coast by reason ot tho failure
of customs officials to receive official
copies of the law at date it goes into
operation, as entries made on and
after Monday under tho present law
can bo readily liquidated under the
new rates with very little extra labor.
Halifax, OcL 4. Discussing the
Boston IleraUVs article ou the Mc-
Kinley bill in Enrope, tho Halifax
Herald of this morning says:
"Whatever other countries may do
wo conceive it to be most imperative on
Great Britain to tako decided action
in the maltor. The McKinley bill has
been passed with the avowed pnrpose of
coercing Canada, into severing her
connection with the British empire
and becoming part of the United
States. It is, therefore, in its uatnre
an act ot war on the British empire,
to bring about dismemberment. Will
Great Britain go on affording her
enemy the same trade facilities in
her porfs alio accords her own children.
It is a case for discrimination against
tho United States."

LOOKING FOR FRAUD.
II. S. T'avs, Government Agent, on the
Trail of Land Robbers,
Wednesday evening H. S. Travis,
special agent ot the land department,
camo in from Portland to look up
numerous cases of fraud in connection
with the timber lands in this vicinity.
Ho stated that a large number of
tho30 claims filed last summer by the
victims ofStono & Do Wolf, Berrige,
and others of their stripe, have been
canceled, on account of the non-appearance
of the claimants on the date
set for their proof.
This information is very encour
aging, as it gives a large number of
claims to those who are anxious to
make homes here.
Nearly all tho so-called timber
claims taken in township 4-4 and 4-5,
were filed on good agricultural land,
where the timber was easily removed
and where superior fruit and stock
ranches will some day prove the truth
of theso statements.
Now that this i3 known anyone who
wishes a good piece of land in either
of the two townships named may
havo the numbers of the claims can
celed by applying at this office.

A LOVE LORN RANCHER
Se StticMes Because a Little GirL
RejecteiHii.''
BTJETED WITH HIS BOOTS 01T.
A Very Eomantic Story From
Wilds of Wyoming The Black
birds Chattered.
the
Special by Tho T&utkd Peess
Chexenne, OcL 4. Week ago to
day tho body of a rancher named
James McKee was found hanging to a
tree near his ranch on tho Laramie
river. The coroner was wired that it
was a clear case of suicide and con
sidered an inquest unnecessary.
A story was brought in this evening
and the supposed self destruction of a
crazy rancher developed into a roman
tic tale. McKee was attached to an
outfit on the Nebraska border.
He fell violently in love with
a girl of 13, who was traveling over
land to Oregon with her sister and
brother-in-law. The child did not caro
for him, but ho pressed his suit and
followed tho movers. Time after time
ho was rejected by the thoughtless
miss, but was only moro enamoured of
her pretty face and shapely figure.
On Thursday afternoon tho girl's
male protector told McKee that his
attentions must cease, and ordered him
to leave. The rancher departed soro
distressed.
Tho next morniug the blackbirds
eyed askance the tree's strange fruit.
and chattered at tho deathless form of
the Swede. McKee left a typical note
to tho girl.
The interment of the body was made
in a brutal fashion. Not ovea the
noose was taken from his neck, and his
hat and boots went into the grave with
him.
The sister of the jnvenile heart
breaker said that she herself was the
cause of a man's suicide before her
marriage.
