The condi- tions as described is a very strong ptimution that timber claimants in that state would do well to look after Mbhem closely.

What “They Say.” There are two little words, simple enough in themselves, that introduce untold trouble in the world and are re- sponsible tor more gossip, scandal and harm than any two words in the Eng- lish language. These two words are nothing more than, “They say.” They have ‘done more to- ruin reputations than all other things. If you never quote what “they say” you may be quite certain you are not a gossip. We have in mind a current e of what “ They say” that is un. speakably cruel; a case that should | burn and blister the scandalous tongue favorite 4 THE FARMERS A Herald-Review Solicitor Writes An Interesting News Letter. EXPERIENCES OF HENRY STUMPH A Hardy Settler Who Lost His Way and Was Abandoned by Com- panions—Billy Perring- ton Found Him. [By T. R. WELts.] The farmer bends the knee to none, and is fess disturbed by the worldwide reign of graft and greed than any of his fellows. May he hve long and prosper—this son of the soil, who is the balance wheel of the universe. The most conspicuous settler in the Moose and Island Lake region is Herman H. Winas, having located on a claim in section 1, 150-28 five years ago. Mr. Winas is an old veteran of thecivil war. I had the pleasure of stopping over night with him and was not only hospitably treated but was pleasantly entertained with war stories that smacked of facts, and of his pioneer life in the west. He is better known as ‘‘Pap” Winas. I met Mr. Winas at Northome and after a short acquaintance I found vut he lived seven miles on the road I in- tended tu take un my return home. We walked to the head of Moose lake, then took a boat and landed within eighty rods of the house. It was surprising to me to see the old veteran walk and carry a pack. Many.a young man couldn’t keep within gun shot of him, We had just enough of ‘Uncle Sam’s Monogran” to make us step high and fast. When we got to the homeof Mr. Winas I was actually sur- prised to find him so cumfortably situ- ated. After a good, square mea] that would lay a Delmonico supper in the shade, Mr. Winas proceeded to show me some products of the farm. “Say, stranger, look here, do you reckon Pap is going to starve?’ Well, it didn’t look like it, for the old man bad 500 pounds of tiour, two quarters of beef, about a barrel uf pork, sever- | al hams and sides of bacon, abund- ance of tea, coffee and sugar and vegetables of several different varie- ties. He has a good house and several res of land cleared and if the old soldier isu’t happy he is an expert at disguise. J. F. Welch lives on section 12, 150- 28 near Moose lake. After a five years’ residence on his homestead Mr. Welch is well pleased with the coun- try and said there was no place under the sun that afforded a poor man greater opportunities or a better chance for investment. George Sencerbox came to Itasca county three years ago and with bf mother, then 80 years of age, took a claim in section 17, 150 Mr. Sen- cerbox raised some of the finest vegetables raised in northern Minne- sota and had samples at the North- ome fair and afterwards a display gotten up for the benetit of legisla- tive delegates sent up there to in- vestigate the soil and general re- sources. Henry Stumph settled in 149-27, now Popple township, five years ago. His two daughters, Miunie and Gustie, also took claims. Mr. Stumph, came from Hastings, this state, and was an old neighbor to Henry Kerrig, who was shot and killed near his own home by William Coddington, who is serving a life sentence at Stillwater for the deed. In the winter of 1901-2 Mr. Stumph had an experience that would have resulted in death to thousands of other men. It seems that two prospective claim hunters arranged to met Mr. Stumph at Bemidji. Why such out of the way arrangements were made is not dis- closed. Atany rate the trio met at Bemidji and went by train to Ten- strike, from there they started on a| trail across the county in the direce tion of Vance’s. They were told that Vance had a hay road from the end of this trail, but they didn’t travel long until the trai) disappear- ed. It was cloudy and they had no compass. After traveling all day in the deep snow they came to an cld abandoned shack, built a fire and got something to eat. They made out the best they could under the circum- stances but got no sleep. When day- light came they struck out again- but none of them knew which direction they were going. After traveling all day, night overtook them. They had matches but their supply of provi- sions was exhausted, After this that gave it life and_ started it on its heart and soul-destroying mission, night’s experience was oyer again they started but did not go far. until "\ Imperfect Page came to a lake. Mr. ph thought it was Squaw lake as it was noted for its islands and points. At this juncture a consultation was held. Mr. Stumph told the other men if it, was Squaw lake it was only-a mat- ter of time until they would find Vance’s. But the two claim hunters concluded to abandon their old com- rade and didso. Mr. Stumph had no matches and forgot to get any from the other men. Stumph was right— they were on Squaw lake. The two men went south and three tiles down struck the old Bridgie and Cut- foot road and followed that to Fair- banks, on Cutfout lake. Then they went to Vance’s the next day and toid them the story of their trip, but where was Stumph? He had not shown up. pened to be at Vance’s and conclud- ed from the description the men gave of the lake and its surroundings that Stumph must be in the neigh- be dead. He took his pack sack with some liquors and provis to Squaw lake and found Stumph on the bank. He said after his comrades left him he came across an Indian teepee. He wentin and the Indian gave hima bowl of wild rice to eat and then showed him the door as at that time the smalipox was around and he was afraid. He s he was so dian. He walxed all the time night and day to keep from freezing. Four nights without sleep. two days and nights without shejter, tire or any- thing to eat, except the rice the In- dian gave him. It’s aqurey why he couldn’t find his way after he struck owes his life to Perrington as an ex- pert woodsman and _ bis heroic act. Mr Stumph is possessed of a wonder- ful determination. From a heavy growth of green woods he has opened up a fine farm of several acres. He knows, too, the value of cleared grounds, for he farms it so as to make every foot pay. He says it’s not the amount of land one clears that pays the best, butit’s farming what you have cleared to its full capacity that shows up the bigges He raised a wagon load _of pumpkins and took them to the Northome, the Jargest of which weighed 794 pounds and the smallest 43 pounds.
