High'up In the Henry mountains the iMor-
Tnona make what cowbojs call "Valley tan "
which Is only a poetic name for very bail I
liquor. In these high lands of Utah live
Dies , I'lutcs , coyotes anil cowboys , anil hero

Colorado Sometimes In the narrow cannons
jou meet strange bands of men who only
nod In silence , glance at your mount and
trappings and pass peacefully on down the
"winding " trail. Among these. banJs of homo-
Ices mpn > ou nearly nlwajs see men with
ilark fnccs , Mexicans and Indiana , with
enough "white blood" to make them am
bitious and enough red to make them kill
a mnn for ft new saddle.
Klvc hundred miles of wilderness nnd
desert lay between these hills and the rail
way station on the Green river and Its good
lildlng place for desperadoes and outcasts ,
who have burned all the bridge- ) between

their elbows and gave oflcJi other a parting

Not many miles wet' , of what Is known as

Great Northern KSllrcad , there Is , cr was , a

flome Jounioi across the dc rt to court a-d
EO the men who lived down there In the
wilds I'.id fallen Into the Inblt of settling
any little differences that might arise with
a pair of six-shooters. IFortunatolj there
being no politics , very little religion and no
women , there was not much to quarrel over ,
so the disputes were few and far between
It was so at least until the 'Mormons began
brewing "Valley tan , " and then there came
n change. Whurcvcr red liquor runs blood
will run. A small moonlight distillery can
create more crime and general disturbance
thin all the politicians and women In a
whole state These little liquor mills were
especially demoralizing among Indians who
ore nlwajs looking for Romething that will
"make drunk quick "
NCAU TUB JAQ FACTOHY.
A couple ot half-breeds who had , with
the he'o of a rawhide rope aud a branding
Iron , accumulated a bunch of cattle on the
fian Juan , traded the herd for a small gin
mill at the head of Windy gulch , near
Tlckabo canyon. They trade \\hlsrfy under
the guidanceof a Mexican expert , regard
less of the laws enacted by congress for
Uio roRtilatlcn of the liquor business Also
they tmde moiey and nmnv drunkards By
nnd by the levenue depattmcnt got wind , for ]
the thing began to smell to Washington
A couple of moonshine detectives went iftcr ,
the Illlclts and In the course of a fortnight
found themselves In the- wilds ot Hc.iry
mountains T'jcy reached Windy gulcti late
In the afteincon of a d > y "PO" vvh.cli both
the proprietors with a number of trie ads of
various s'jadcs of clnnctcr and complexion
had Imbibed frrcl ) of the raw new rum
One of the f Toprletors , a , ralf-Utc , and one
of the guests , a I'lute. IIH I quarreled and
emptied their revolvers without settling the
dlllltulty. When the I'iuto 1'ad run out of
mnmunltlrn ho swat the still ir-in with a
stouo , climbed his cayuse nnd galloped
' "
' It was all right for the proprletcT of
n distillery to bo shot at , or even shot , but
t'.ic slugging of a iron with a rock , was a
thing nn Ind'an ' might not do with lirnunlty
The still iron was desperate and all his
eomixtnlons were Imllpuant. After reloading
his flrcarms the still man mounted a cajuee
nnd lit out after tha Insolent Indian.
A Ilttlo way down the gulch the fleeing
riuto met n tow boy , who supplied him
with cartridges , and. having refilled his
guns , he rode on ewlftly down tha troll.
The two detectives , riding slowly ut > the
canjcci , licird the clatter of a pony's feet
upon the stony tiall , and reining their
horces Into a nldo eanyon waited the coming
of Hie stranger , A moment later they saw
the Indian sailing past , his knees cocked
high , ns an Atablca Tides , but with his1
heels digging vigorously Into the Hanks of
his tbln rayuse. At every other Jump of his
broncho ho glanced over his shoulder with I
a quick , nervous glance , and wriggled his
quirt constintly above the curved back of I
his lialf-nllil horse The two officers let )
him oass , end HB they tinned to ride back i
to the trail the scar-facsd half-breed camel
dawn tl-e canyon rldtag like the wind , but
looking straight ahead Like the I'lute , ho
MIS wriggling his quirt above the bide of
his horse , but ho was making good time.
The other Indian's h-rse was t'.iln and
spent , and In a little while the still msa
would overtake the runiway Indian , aud
then there would be trouble.
Tlin DUEL.
The detectives saw that It would ho Im
possible for them to get under cover so they
waited beside the trail until the red man
came to a sudden stop.
"You HCO urn Pilule ? " demanded the half-
breed , bringing his hind down over his
fuco , smearing It with blood.
The whlto man nodded ,
"Me Lute him I'llute Tilt um back. You
sco um blood ? " and ho swiped his smeared
face again. -
"Yes , " said ono of the detectives ,
"You see um 'Whisk shop up gulch ? "
"Yes "
< Mo no see um , " said the Indian. "D n !
mo kill um , " nnd driving his heels Into Ills
liorsc-'s sides he dashed away down the trail.
Now , because ho know the other man , If
lie followed , would overtake him , or because
Jio wanted to fight , or becaubo he was crazy
ilriink , the I'lute had stopped n Ilttlo way
down Iho gulch , and when , his pirsuer hove-
In Eight the fight began. The two detectives ,
hearing the shooting , trailed back and saw
the ejcclleinent. It was not n cause In which
a vvblto man felt called upon to take sides ,
and go the men , remaining at a safe distance ,
watched these half wild Indians sail Into each
other. When they had exchanged a few
tlints , and each haj1 received slight wounda ,
they dismounted and Blinding broldo heir
horses aimed deliberately , and as accurately
os drunken men can , at each other. When
one six-shooter had been emptied , another
was pulled , and when I'olh were empty they
< woro-reloadoi with what skill 'tho ' combatants
could command , Delng discouraged the two
men left their hones ami walked slowly to-
tvnrd each other , firing as they advanced.
The lite foil , and the other , utandlng con
tinued to IIro The Ulo struggled to his
fret and advanced , firing again. The two
Indians finally rauic face to face In the
narrow trail and neither sought to shield
lilmst'lf from the other's murderous fire , but
p'aco where < the nameless dead was held
down bj a mountain boulder
l\ mining camp , not unlike others , Is trie
sartliiK point Ono of the mlnois , < is Is
usually the case , was o , mysterious fellow
vviio was a Hitter. He would bo In camp
I i two mon hs nod then dl&'ppear. l\P or ho
! had knocked out the teeth of a curlcus miner
no ono ventured to ask him after thai where
10 lad been. He was never seen under the
Influence ot llqucr. He refu ed to sit In at
the game , but was often appealed to aa
referee.
Ono meriting 'ho did not come up to break
fast. He was found tack of a cabin , his face
turned down co one arm. When he did no. ,
respond the caller reversed the body with his
boot , ijtid avv that the mjsterlous man wca
dead. That whicn caused the mst comment
In the o'mp waa that one of Their number
ahculrt have died naturallj and quietly. Con
trary to thf custom , the body lay where It
was found three d s. One of the camp re
mained on watch. But t icre was nor. a rcnn
In the cimp wlo could have told why Kie
body was kept. One of ilic number had sug
gested It , and It vvis ngieed to.
At the clo e of the third day the body waa
carried to the grave that had been made on
ihe bide of a mountain. About It glistered
the everlasting snow Hf'ow It were the val-
lojs and streams and blooms. The body was
strapped to n boatd and carried on the men's
1 shoulders H was put In the gtave and the
earth was rounded above It by the hands of
i 'ie of t IP camp The rn.cn returned to the
gulch , and that night there was no game
There was no talk , at lcnt > t none about the
missing man. ,
The usual routine was renewed the follow
Ing day , and it contluue.1 until some of the
tices on the mountains were brown and thr
snows on the tops were deeper. In ono of the
aftci noons of this season .1 buckboard rum
bled into camp. The occupants were u
Aonian nnd a boy If the memory of the
mm who told the lawyer the story wns un
obstructed , If the lawjer Is to be believed , as
lawjers may often bo , the woman was "as
purty as the country all aroiinJ , " and was
"Just a queen In her viij of talkln' . " She
was the flfrt vision of the kind that had over
come to the camp There- was that deference
enco to her about which people In the cast
often read. The men stood butuheaded and
bowed. ' ,
The woman a kcd loapi.uk to the man vvhc
nail rod the most , trouble. No OTB moved
for a minute. The man who did speak
finally asked-
"What kind of trouble 7"
The woman asked , "lias any one of you
lost a wife ? "
The spokesman replied : "I lost one. 1
can't bay nothln' about thp c men. "
The result of this "bieaklng of the Ice"
was that the woman nnd the man retired to
ono of the ciJilns and I'onfetred , When It
won over the woman and the man walked
nv\ay together up the .uountaln to the grave
of II ni ) < 3tcrloub lion These who remained
In camp looked Into the cabin whole the
conference had taken place and sniffed the
atmosphere that still retained a bit of per
fume to which they wn-o unaccustomed , but
which was grnteful to their Eonsft ? . iThe bov
who had driven the buckboard wau not
qtilrzpd s he would have hem IT some places
of pretension. Ho was not even stared at.
The woman nnd the man teturned , nnd al
though the day was done nnd the night was
abroad In the mounlulr.s and In the valleyo
the woman climbed upon the buckboard , and
the boy drove away. Not until the noise of
the wheels was Indistinct did the miners
stir. The man who had lost ono wife called
the men about him and nald
"That'fl his vvldder , " pointing In the direc
tion of the gtnve.
"That accounts for his bcln' away so
much , " said one.
"That's what orter accounted for his beln'
away so much , but I reckon jou'ro plajln' It
wronK , " tald the man who had the tecrct.
"Well , what wns It ? " asked the man who
had played It wrong.
"Tlier1 couldn't bo but ono thing , could
ther'7 If she's his vvldder , nnd I know she
Is , and ho didn't go to see her when ho vva
away on them long trips of hls'n , why > ou
don't s'pose he was preachln , ' dJ you ? "
Til's statement went to the bottom. There
was a ellenco until some ono asked :
"Did ho leave her any piy dirt ? "
"Which ono do jou mean ? "
"The wldJcr ' "
, 'courbD ,
"Not a BOO. Didn't give her enough to
make a breastpin. "
"And wo burled him aa If he was white and
( 'juar' . "
"That's what wo did. Wo was tuck In ,
Wo wca buncoed by the diseased , " bald a
man who had remained silent.
Sii far as any stranger In the camp might
have believed , ( ho campers turned In upon
their bunks.
The next morning the body of a man whose
clothes were mildewed dangled from the limb
of a tree which had shadowed a grave on the
sideof the mountain , The grave was empty.
When the body wab cut down It waa put back
wlicncu It waa taken and a stone rolled upon
It on which come one chiselled an X.
The man who made his "last will to the
lawyer" was the last survivor of Iho camp
which had redeemed Its honor.

I'Mnearly two years , reports the New

many have had commissions la China trav

view to Increasing the Chliidie trade with
I those nations. The French commission bos
returned and reports of' progress have been
( received from the other agents All seem 'o
'apree ' as to the chief cause pf the slow

and arc willing to buy a large variety of
goods whenever they sic Iho advantage of

letterol classes general ! } at'o , hostile to the
IntroJuctlon of western trade. Their Inter
ests are bound up with these -of the unpro-

France must do two things to win nucccss
In the Chinese trade. She mint send men

All Now Ycrk merchants In the orlcuta

and that the present action of Germany am
Htiss'a ' Is the forerunner of a general Euro
pean movement to throw China open , fron

western commerce The reason why the pow

Germany has established herself on the coast
of the most populous province but one In the

crrccT OF CROWDING.
In any region whore the people art
crowded very closely together nature almost
completely loses Us spontaneous flora.
Nearly all the plants except these Introduced
l > y man are crowded out. Wild , bent's com
pletely disappear and arc replaced by t'o-
mcstlc animals. This is the cabs with Shan
tung. Every square rod of tillable land
forms a part of a farm or garden. Even the-
hllla have been deforested to Increase t.e !
aica of tillage , which Is llmlte-d only by the
bare rocks that rise ahovo Ufa hlllslda farms.
Such Is Shantung , wherektli6 Germans have
now entrenched themselves. Wo need not
expect that their enterprises , whatever they
are to be , will bo punned to any great ex
tent this winter. Shantung , like the rest of
noith China , Is hot In summer and very
cold In the winter months. Sometimes even
the cea freezes over along the north coast
of the peninsula , and the Chinese travel over
t'l-i ice on the backs of mules to thci nelgh-
brtlrg islands , .
The more the nations deal w I Mi China the
mcro fully are they convinced tH when
once the Chinese ' .ry an Innovation ) from the
western part of the world anl find , by actual
experiment , that the novelty ! s really a
go = d thing , a convci-ience an3 a bleEiilng ,
there is little difficulty about ox enil'ng Its
use. This las been ' .he case with the tele
graph , which raised a storm when the poles
began to bo reaied. Tocay ! a network of
telegraph lines Is extending Into every part
of the empire. Pckin is now In instant
touc'h with nil nc provinces from Yun
nan In the southwest 'o ' 'Manchuria ' In the
northeast. American and other engliwcrs
who arc bulIdVg Chinese railroads lay tuat
while the prejudice agafast them will bo
only gradually removed , he wiy for the
locrmotlve bids fair to open steadily , further
and wider. It la .a grca1. point gained that
ho ralLi have now been laid to within eight
miles of the walla of FeKIn , even though
ticy have been stopped there because "the
eacrcd precincts of the imperil ! rc.sldenca
must bo saved from contam'i atlon hr too
clceo contact with smch western Improve
ments. "
TUADR RELATIONS IMPROVING.
In the past fiftpcn years all coLcitrlra , wl.h
a few exceptions , have Increased their trade
wltJi China. The dealings of her people
with five countries especially , Great Britain ,
Ii.dla , the United Sta' c < 3 , Jai\in and Ger
many , have shown the moat gri'ifjlng
prepress. Tie powers are not getting 1m-
ratlcnt because the trade relational with
3hl'ia are not Improving , for thej are , but
t la tantalising to Europe , when Its necdi
now markets so much , to meet so1 many ob
stacles and find the growth of trade com
paratively so slow In the meat populous bnd
iiid ono of < .ho richest countries In the world.
This Is the reat'on ' why s rcnuoLU efforts are
nak'ng and will bo made to hasten tno ( ! ay
when the whole of China will bo thrown open
o the western markets There are many
ways In which the Introduction of foreign
capital ani\ \ enterprise would enrlcii both 'ho '
western nations and the people of Chaa ! ,
and , In ono way or anctnor , It Is seriously
iroposed to acquire such an Influence In
: hlr.i as to unite iti clcnely cud fully by the
Us of commerce to the rtit of tbo world.
For Instance , a great deal of westoui cap-
, tal haw been Invested In the China teu
trade , and It has suffered teirlbly from
.ho fact that the tea Is still prepared cc *
.Ircly by the natives. In Japan the export
te ? Is prepared undur the direction of for-
elencra. In India the planting , cultivation
mill sending to market are entirely under
foreign supervision These countiles u. )
aclentlllc methods and modem machine ! y In
; bo preparation of thecrop. . flut the tea
of China is grown and prepared today a * It
ut two centuries ago. The methods are an
tiquated , the product Is Inferior , and la
growing In Ill-repute , all the more because
ho Chlneso have not overcome their ol 1
iablt of adulteration. The result Is that
China tea Is being crowded to tbo wall. In
1SS3 the United Kingdom Imported 100,000-
100 pounds of China tea , and nlno years
atcr the Imports had fallen toabout ono-
hlrd of that quantity. It has been obvious
'or ' jeans that unless something were done.
China , the original homo of the tea plant ,
and still the greatest producer of that com-
nodlty , would see her trade wiped out. It
las been reserved for the native tea mer
chants of Foochow , who saw thnlr city
hreatoncd with extinction as a tea port , to
> e > the first to take s'eps to Improve tht |
iroduc't , Ihoy aru beginning to Introduce
mprovcd methods , and hope on their o\\n ,
eround to compete with the trade of India
and Coj I on , Hut Foochow furnl lies only
a portion of the Chlnst tea cxpaits. What
nfliionre will bring about ( bo Introduction
of the Indian methodj r.nd machinery hi the
V E > toi II"Ula of the YaugUo valle-y ? Un-
