'Fraid he's goin’ to step in front of a trolley car. “Sure he's green, but he's good stuff. I'm runnin’ a bunch of control cattle on Stinkin’ Water mountain that summer, an’ I gives him & job. Shure it looks like makin' him a pres: ent of them wages, but he’'s such a decent sort a chap I ain't got the heart to turn him away. I hears about him every month in Tompson's report. He says: “1 thought when you sent him out here you must be losin’ your mind, but I guess you knew wot you was doin’. He's a fine chap, an’ a hard worker.’ “It ain't long after this till the first snow falls on the mountain, an’ the cattle has to be got in on the home ranch. “It's hard work this, fur strange | camps don’t appeal to the cow-brute ‘ none, so after it's all over I gives the | boys & week in town.

Everybody in One Davastated Town Working, and Wages Are Higher Than They Were Ever Known to Be Before. Dayton, O.—Dayton is taking care of herselt again. Only a few soldiers are left doing police duty. Military law is theoretically in force, and Adjt. Gen. George H. Wood is still here. The curfew has become a tech- nicality, and citizens: may go abroad till 11 o'clock each night. The saloons are open through the day. Major Rhoades of the United States army has gone, leaving the work of sanitation and cleaning in the hands of the city authorities. Relief proc- esses have come to a standstill, ex- cept for the work of the Red Cross, under Dr. Edward T. Devine of New York. The factories started running in an incredibly short time after the flood. Their accumulation of orders in- sures rush work and overtime all sum- mer. With everybody working, wages higher than ever known, and with 90- 000 persons having lost part or all of their household goods and clothing, keeps me company. The house was run at that time by a little widow by the name of Cummin’s. “It seems a fellow named Black Jack Tetlow was playin’ all suits both ways from the middle tryin’ to win the widow, but she don't enthuse. Final, when Joe arrives on the scene she passes him up like he's a white chip, which makes him imagine Joe's allenatin' them affections. “Harry, Jed an' Barney {is all down to the saloon, an' before we turns in, Joe an’ I lights our pipes an’ strolls down town. As we pass the saloon the boys is in I takes it into my head to drop in an’ try to get them to come to bed an' Joe follows. “We ain't no more than entered, when a slab-sided kid called Goggle Eye George, sticks his foot between Joe's legs an’ trips him up. This Gog- gle Eye George's eyes stick out lke a shrimps, but when Joe gets up, he shure puts one of them back normal. Just one lick, an’ Goggle Eye ain’t got no more fight in him than a sheep, but he don't need to do his own fight- in’, fur right hyer Black Jack takes his hand an’ plays it fur him. “Gettin' up from the table, where he’s been dealin’ stud poker he walks up to Joe. “‘Wot do you mean?” he snarled, ‘a hitting of my particular friend? “Joe didn’t say anything, just stood his ground. “‘Well, I'll make you talk!" shouts Black Jack, haulin’ off an’ knockin’ Joe over a couple of chairs. Joe picks himself up, brushes his clothes, an’ faces Black Jack. “You're not goin’ to shoot me?" asks Black Jack, like he's alarmed. “‘Yes,’ says Joe, ‘I think I shall’ “‘Now you're talkin' like a sport, even if you ain't got the ear marks,’ spouts Black Jack. “With this he motions the crowd to get off the firin’ line, pulls his gun, an’ goes to the further end of the room. “Joe, he pulls a bull.dog 32 he's raked up somewheres, but keeps on standin’ in the center of the room. “‘You picks the quarrel, and you suggests the weapons. Now, I'm goin’ to name the distance,’ says Joe. “‘Wot's the matter with this?' asks Black Jack. “‘Nothin’,’ says Joe, ‘only the school I attends when I'm a kid teaches mamt ners instead of sharp-shootin’, which same system seems to have been re versed where you're brought up. Now it you will be so kind' says Joe, bowin’ low, ‘you will step this way.’ “‘Wot do you mean? stammers Black Jack. “‘l mean,’ says Joe, cool as a mint Julip, ‘that this affair is goin' to be breast to breast.’ “‘For a moment Black Jack looks at him io surprise, then swallows several times an’ hangs his head. “If he don't except he knows it's his finish in the cow country, an’ likewiss it's the same if he does, fur even a tenderfoot like Joe can't miss at that range. Black Jack is a bad man, with more than one notch in his gun, but he don't dare run his brand on the little slick-ear that's standin’ there in the middle of the room, even if his horns ain’t out of the velvet. He looks around at the crowd, them seein’ it /7{(11/@ peace mind, Put your : oney in OurBank and your 4 .

Dayton is already a boom town, and must continue to be the busiest city in the United States for many months to come. Every merchant who has been able to get new stock has been doing & volume of business from 40 to 60 per cent greater than at the correspond- ing time last year—and this with rough board counters, emergency fix- tures, and demoralized rales forces. Treasury department officials sent here to restore financial operations told disheartened merchants from the first that they would turn their stock more times in the next six months than they ordinarily did in five years. The first month's sales have con- vinced most of them that this was a correct prediction. Every merchant of good reputation has received astonishing favors from houses from which he buys. Many have canceled old accounts; nearly all have extended their credit. Citi- zens have been advised not to avall themselves of the bankruptcy law, and none so far have done so, 3 Thousands of carpenters, plasterers and painters are at work. There is still much mud and debris in the ! streets, though nearly 20,000 wagon- loads have been hauled away. Most of the boards, broken furniture and the like was taken to the publie dumps and burned. At McKinley park, devastated by the flood, there was a huge bonfire covering two city blocks, with fire fighting apparatus surround- ing it. It is contended by a large element that the work of cleaning has been hampered by the opening of the saloons, which opened ten days ago. Four thousand men had been em- ployed on the cleaning work, many imported from C(‘hicago and other cities. Hundreds of them became de- moralized through drinking and left the city. Immediate attention is to be given the broken levees, in which only the bad breaks have been stopped. The government is giving attention to the improvement of the great Miami from source to mouth. War department engineers have surveyed the district. Revised estimates of the financial loss very almost as widely as they did at first. A survey by a company of bankers and real estate men re- sulted in a total of $128,000,000, in- cluding $50,000,000 for depreciation of real estate. All the estimates prob- ably are too high. The chamber of commerce's estimate of mercantile losses {8 $12,000,000. Not more than one-third of the churches and schools escaped the flood. Most of the schools re-opened as soon as the waters re- ceded. A few of the buildings can not be used before fall, and pupils are boubling up, half time, in nearby schools. The Red Cross has distributed aid to 6,000 families, most of them hav- ing received an average of $25 each. More aid is to be extended in the way of a start in housekeeping, anc in all alout $400,000 will be used In Day- ton. More than 9000 families have registered as being in need of help.
