Ills only companion was a son , "tho Kid , " now round ing 71) ) yearn. The old man was in the cm- ploy oftho Hudson Hay company at Fort Kdmondton , In thoSaskatchowan country , as early us Ib02 , and has been known as a gnido and Indian Interpreter for years. In 1SIM , when ho was 52 years old , ho discovered and named the St. Mary's lakes. At first a Hudson I5ay man , Monroe was by tin us a free trapper , American Fur com pany employe and scout for the United States government. During the explorations for a I'ailllc railway rnuto ho. served as guide and interpreterwlth Oovcrnor Stevens and Mr. Doty , and on ono occasion by his Influence with the Indians saved the whole party of whites from being killed by the en raged IJlackfect and ( Jros Venires ot the prairlo. Long before this , whllo on a war expedition with the Ulackfeet and Gros Venires , ho had saved from deatli a party of 112 white men and Indians , under Peter Ogden. who were trapping beaver for ono of the Snulottos. Hugh Monroe was a man of most simple , Ecnllo and kindly disposition , yet ho was u oravo man and the slro of bravo children. Ho has told acquaintances many a tale of daring adventure , relating them as simply as n child , giving only the bare facts and leavj ing his hearers to draw their own conclu- slon. His sons John and Francois have good I war records , and the former , in ono light , . nlono against a party of Asslnabolnes , had I thirteen balls put through his robe , three In i his gun stock and two through the handker chief bound about his head , and finally drove off the enemy. His grandsons , Robert and l AVllllam Jaokson , were good scouts and good ' lighters under Generals Custor and Miles , nnd ono of them killed Lame Dcerwlien , during a talk , ho shot at General Miles , who was sitting on his horse close to him. The general still preserves the war bonnet worn by the chief , which shows in Its forehead pleco the round hole whcro Jackson's fatal bullet cut It. The old man was a great boar-hunter when in his prime. If ho did not kill at least one bear a day , ho was unhappy. His methods of capturing them were various. In plum tlmo ho and his half-breed son would rope them while riding down the bushes , and in nutumn they would light them around the trunks of trees whoso girth was too much for them to hug around. Both Ephralm the grizzly and Brulu the swarthy , when in quest of plums , are wont to straddle the bushes , pressing them down with their massive weight , and so , getting the top branches Into the bend of the forearm , they scoop the fruit into their mouths with the free paw. Unwept , save In his own Immediate circle , unhonored , save In these brief lines , says a writer In Forest and Stream , Hugh Monroe has gone down to n lonely grave in the land ho loved. Yet how great a service have ho and his performed for this country and fornll of us. Worthily ho lived , his simple life , never realizing , perhaps , any great part of all that ho was accomplishing , with no pnr- iioso save to perform , as nearly as ho know It. his duty toward his fellow men , red or white. But it was through his life and through ttio lives as such as ho that the broad ompiro.whioh was at llrst an unknown wilderness , then the far west , and Is now flourishing states , was sulxlned and inado habitable. Such men , iho pioneers , name less and unknown though they were , made this nation possible. Their hardships , their toils , their sufferings , their dangers and their deaths were endured for all of us , A ItAININ TltUST. California I'rodnccrs Cuiiililno to lloont I'rlci-H. The raisin trust recently formed by grow- - crs in California is expected to accomplish great things for an Industry In which , ac cording to these engaged in It , the margin of " profit is tiKi small. No secret is mailo of tlio fact that tlio producers intend to send prices up. Some of tlio features of the plan are as follows ; "Packers and brokers are to bo admitted to membership , but at a disad vantage , They must pay ? 100 a year each , whllo the raisin growers will pay In Ilvo cents for every aero each lias over Ilvo acres. Furthermore , paclicrs nnd brokers must maintain prices , and must glvo bonds in largo amounts that they will do so. Italsins will bo consigned only to packers and broiters who linvo given the bond 1'ackors must glvo a boml of $10- ( XX ) each that they will not personally sell at a llgtiroundor the sot prices and that they will only employ such brokers as have giveii .bonds of f O.OOO eaeh not to cut prices. " Ono of the organizers of the trust , which is known as the California State Haisln Grow ers association , explains why the native growers suffer In competition with for eign producers , "Thero Is from : i to HO cents freight on eaeh l > ox to Now York , whllo the Spanish people pay only 8 cents , " ho says , "llesldes this , wo pay for orudo labor from $1.50 to $1.73 n day , and the Spanish grower for skilled only LH ) cents a lay. .

We want to got the prieo up to where the grower will got about-IV cents In the sweat box. " As a means of keeping i\ poor quality of rais ins out of the market , and thus Improving the prospects of the trust , a bill requiring the grading of raisins under the supervision of a state commissioner Is to bo presented to the legislature , which will probably enact it.

The Omaha company has facilities for handling and grinding the crude article In much larger quantities than the Denver 1'alnt Mills company , and having finally succeeded In getting a reasonable shipping rate from the railroad company. It Is expected that a large quantity of the mineral paint will bo handled In the future. Heretofore the best ratoobtalnablo was from ?

Owing to a Demi the river bed can bo drained a distance of a mile and threo-fourths by a tunnel 800 feet long. The now company will drain the stream with all possible speed next year and prepare to work the ground on an extensive scale. It Is well known that thcro is an im mense amount of gold in the river bed , and thiit the scheme is a good ono nnd will with out doubt pay handsome dividends to the owners. The company that sunk a shaft at Salmon City a few months ago and found good pay beneath a stratum of false bed rock , are making preparations for going on down to the granite bed rock , believing that there are immense quantities of gold on it. The deeper they go the richer are the gravel beds. AVi'sti'riiViitcr 1'owcr. The papers in the northwest say that everywhere in that region water powers are being taken up and utilized to create olcc- tnctity. says the New York Tribune. So cheap is this process that the use of coal is out of the question. No light and no power can bo created so cheaply as that where a mountain stream has been made to do the work. What was an experiment a short tlmo ago has now become ono of the most remarkable Industrial developments of the i tlmo. In nearly all the northwestern states j I which are hilly or mountainous these water i powers'aro abundant. Swift streams are ! flowing down everywhere. These nro Just I what the electricians want. Finding n i stream anywhere within ilvo or ten miles of I a thriving town , they are ready to light that town nnd furnish jxnver cheaper than it could over bu furnished by the use of coal.

Two of Uutto's noted prospectors have organized an expedition to search for "Lost Cabin" mines thought to bo located near Oibbonville , Idaho , in the Big Horn range.

They voro llrst discovered In 185-1 by a party , of emigrants bound from the states to Califor nia , but as all the i party save one was killed by Nez Forces Indianswhlloonoof the claims vns being developed nothing moro was over done with the property.

Something over 200 men gathered in the Young Men's Christian association concert tall yesterday afternoon to hear Rev. Dr. Sellings and Mr. A. P. Hopkins discuss 'Omaha's Shame. " It was not the alleged union depot , as some might have been led to suppose from the announcement of the sub- icct , but It was the social nnd personal Im- .mrity of hundreds of people who reside in .his town , to which the attention of the audience was directed. Mr. Hopkins spo'no of these charactcrls- , lcs which nro diametrically opposed to the subject announced. Ho uresentod the merits of a virtuous life as opposed to a lifo of vice and said that the way to wipe out the shame of Omaha , In a social way , was for every man to Ilvo a pure lifo. Mr. Hopkins thought that the greatest need of the times was moro rugged Christian men , men who would bo willing , if need bo , to lay down their lives for that which was right and true. true.Dr. Dr. Ilcllings directed his remarks in the same line as that followed by Mr. Hopkins , setting forth the desirability of pure living , but ho took occasion to refer moro pointedly to the social disgrace of the city known as "tho burut district. " It was an easy matter for people to become so accustomed to sin and impurity that they failed to comprehend the enormity of their crime , ho said , and what Omaha needed just now was a spiritual and moral awakening that would show the people plo the blackness of their chief shame. The speaker said it was something fear ful to contemplate the moral stupor under which the people of Omaha seemed to bo laboring. The system of monthly fines now in vogue by which the school funds were uugumcntcd was a most damnable sanction of sin. Ho had felt so mortified in thinking over this matter many times that ho had al most decided to take his children out of the public schools. Public sentiment should bo aroused , this sleep of iniquity should bo broken up and Omaha should put aside this outrage of decency. Dr. Holllngs spoke eloquently to the young men upon the beauties and grandeur of a pure lifo nnd the danger of sinful thoughts. Sinful living usually began by sinful think ing. Wicked thoughts were apt to J > o fol lowed by wicked acts. Some men who would not dare to commit n sinful deed openly did not hesitate to think sinful thoughts right along. Ho exhorted the young men to bo pure in thought , in speech and in actions nnd thus become a power for good in the com- munlty. Sundny at the llospltnl.

Pinimr.S.D.Jan.l5. There Is talk of a can- cus of republican members of the leglslaturo to t take action in regard to adjourning before the sixty days' constitutional limit expires. It Is doubtful , however , If such a plan would pass the caucus , and oven If It did It might not bo lived up to. Already the number of bills Introduced In both houses Is pressing the 200 mark and their proper consideration will take up the full time. The three "H's" resubmlsslon , railroads and revision of the divorce law still con tinue to bo discussed on the outside. It Is now pretty well settled that the only chance for a change In the divorce law Is to extend the time of residence required from three to six months. A majority of the Judiciary committee of the house would consider such a measure , although they killed the bill ex tending the tlmo to ono year. The rnllro.ul committee of the house has spent considerable tlmo discussing the Hull bill , which is a modification of the Iowa law. They will probably not bo ready to report on this bill for some days , but It is believed a majority of the committee are in favor of some such legislation. The senate commit tee is at work on a bill of its own. It will bo a t > ill that will bo just to tho' railroads and the people as well , and will not retard the building of now railroads. The greatest difference between the pres ent legislature nnd the two preceding like bodies in the history of the state is in the manner of conducting Its business. This body has gone to work in a systematic and business like manner. Its sessions are short nnd no tlmo is wasted in lighting over Httlo amendments and resolutions. This gives the committees a good chance to work , and they aic carefully examining all bills , and their reports will bo in such concise and compre hensive shape that the house In session can act intelligently nnd rapidly upon them. The prohibitionists are hard at work and every day sees a few petitions presented from the different counties praying against the passage of the rcsubmisslon law.

The World's fair commissioners , who at present own the South Dakota building at the World's fair , are asking no particular odds of the legislature. They claim that they can sell out their present building and exhibit to some other state for $3,000 moro than It has cost the stockholders. They have gene to work and made it possible for South Dakota to have an exhibit nnd they propose to sco that they are reimbursed and tlmt a decent appropriation is made to give the state a .creditable exhibit.

Ho went as delegate to the state convention at Mitchell and was made chair man of the convention because ho was neither a Mollotto man nor a Pottlgrow man. Ho made a most olcgant and amus ing speech , and took the delegates by storm. This was his first public speech , but it im mediately made him famous among the poli ticians. He combined a remarkable power of invective with a great adeptness for story telling In just these proportions which make a campaign orator of the first class.

When the county convention was held the leaders waited upon Mr. Lawson and insisted on his running for the houso. Ho declined , but when they re turned to him during the noon recess and again pressed the honor upon him ho no ecpted.
