Whisky Gap myth and the overland trail camp tale
A long narrative recounts Whisky Gap in Wyoming as a historic camping spot for freighters and emigrants during the 1860s overland route. It describes a whisky finding at a camp near Devil's Gate, soldiers drinking from a spring, and Maj. O Farrell suppressing the liquor as Indians threatened raids. The piece links the name Whisky Gap to a punitive barrel emptied into a spring and the camp’s later fame as a freighter gathering place.

Apple Crop In 1899 Compared To Earlier Years
The 1899 apple crop is about twice 1898 but only 60 percent of a full crop, with quality higher and prices generally lower. New York and Michigan account for substantial shares, while New England is light and the West had little last year. Indiana shows a decade high yield, Illinois and Missouri mixed, California and Canada producing well. Chicago handles 30 percent of eggs and 20 percent of apples, aided by cold storage. South Water street buyers vary by region, with New York growers often packing their own fruit, while Illinois buyers pick fruit from trees.

Lipton Spends Record Sum on Yacht Cup Bid
The 1900 racing season for the America's Cup cost both sides heavily, with Sir Thomas Lipton spending an estimated $1,000,000 including nearly $400,000 on the Shamrock and extensive running expenses. The Shamrock and Lipton fleet, plus guests and staff, were described as costly but not reusable beyond the Cup attempt. Lipton, a wealthy bachelor, opted not to challenge again before 1901, acknowledging the immense outlay and uncertain returns.

Meteors Favor Morning Showers and Speeds
Prof. C A Young explains in Lippincott that hourly meteor counts double in the morning versus evening and that morning meteors travel faster. He attributes the pattern to orbital geometry as Earth moves around the sun, facing forward in the morning and from behind at dusk, with velocities near 26 miles per second.
