Granor, of Montana, at 81 so. Nc
Cranor also secures the contract for
-four for the Blackfeet Agency at
So 80 per cwt. Owing to the raw
ages of grasshoppers i'm this vicinity,
the supply of flour for the Blackfeet
has to be imported from a distance
ut the above high price. The guam
tity, however, is only 225,000 lbs.

valuation to-day would be twelve
millions instead of six and a half
millions.
If, on the other hand, the do
nothing policy shall be continued,
Omaha may as well prepare for
further shrinkage in real estate val
ues, and consequently for even a
higher rate of taxation than she is
now paying.
Right here we may as well men
ton that tax payers figures are not
very reliable. For instance he says:
The proposed improvements al
ready voted by the council will
amount to about 81 900. Add this
TO $4,000 short for running expen-
ses, and you have a debt of $4,000
to lap over On the levy of 1875.
This calculation is based upon the
assumption that the whole $1,000
comes out of the city treasury;
whereas half of that sum will be
paid by the property owners on the
streets where the Improvements are
made. The BEE comedies that the
policy of drawing money out of the
general fund for public improve
ments is injudicious. The money
for such enterprises should be raised
by long time and low interest
bonds, and we believe the people
will cheerfully vote them when
they are made acquainted with the
objects in view.

THE spirit of the shareholders
rebellion seems still to be rampant
in some portions of the south. can
attempt was made on the 4th of
July to pull down the United States
flag at a celebration of a grange at
Limestone, East Tennessee. Those
making the attempt were ex-Con-
federates, as might be supposed.
The Herald and Tribune, of Jones
borough, gives a lengthy account
of the affair, in which it states that
there was a time In the history OF
Fast Tennessee when to display the
American flag, or even TO ha seit in
possession, was considered by a GER
tain class fraught with danger to
the guilty persons. But that time
passed, and the old flag was
eXhumed from its many
hiding-places and thrown to the
breeze, and from the Carolinas to
the western extremities of the ma
ton the national emblem f1oated
free, and all parties acknowledged
its supremacy. 1t was hoped that
the spirit of treason and rebellion
was forever dead, and that the
monster Secession would never
again raise its buried head and dis
close its hideous features to the
popular gaze"

a New Telegraph Company Con-
templated.
Thu Now York Posi- saws:

The New York Post says:
For some time past it has been
known that an effort was making to
establish q new telegraph company,
and il is now reported that the ne
gotiations to this end have been
nearly completed. we have been
unable to obtain full particulars in
regard to the scheme, but hear that
three of the railroad companies
running the principal trunk roads
from the Atlantic seaboard to
the West exclusive of the
New York Central propose to build
telegraph lines overt their roads, and
such roads as they control, fora new
telegraph company, which will take
these lines on a 999 year lease. The
railroad companies, in consideration
&C having free use of the telegraph
lines, are TO keep them in re-
pair. The instrument used is
to be that of the Automatic Compa-
ny, and it is claimed that the new
company will be able to reduce the
cost of conveying messages by tele-
graph from one-quarter to one-half
the present rates. Mr.. Peter H.
Watson, of the Erie Railway, has
been mentioned as president Of the
new company, and it is said that
this isthe see.et for his recent re-
fusal to accept another election as
president of the Erie. We have
been unable to learn whether there
is any connection between this pro-
ject and the new Atlantic cable
which the Faraday is now laying.
