ORIGINAL &c FIT MONEY.

In conversing With the older people in
this vicinity, l find that their earliest
reCollections of Mormonism in Kirkland
are in regard to the bank. 1t was a
wildcat" institution, of the class that
hourished in those good old Democratic
days before the wicked Republican party
gave to the country an honest banking
system and a sound currency. No legal
checks or safeguards hampered the fnan-
Cial genius of the Latter Day Saints; and
they made the volume of their paper
money equal to the demands of trade in
this seItion of country. The connection
of several wealthy men with the enter.
prise gave it an advantage in gaining the
confidence Of the public, and as the notes
of the bank were for come promptly re.
deemed on presentation, a fair credit was
established. and very large circulation
was soon afoat Farms, live stock, lum
ber, and indeed all kinds of property
were bought by the Mormons wherever
the notes of the bank could be used in
payment. One of these notes lies before
me as l write, and is an interesting relic
of early Mormonism and Of the financier
ing that was popular forty or fifty years
ago. Leaving off the figures, which were
handsomely engraved on the margins,
the face of the note reads as follows:

ether states have similar trouble ON

"esSion of the Democrats in the Senate
two years ago. Chairman of the Com
mittce on Claims. lie is not the peer
IT Window, of that State, in point of
ability or experience, but is popular, as
one can easily see by his late triumph
over such Il good man as Alexander

Captain Eads is in Washington. llrc-
ING the endorsement by the Unite States
of his projected ship railway across the
lsthmus of Tehuantepec. He believes
that Congress viii refuse to have any
thing to do with the De Lesseps canal
scheme. in view of the superior advan-
tages of his plan. He will ask Congress
at once TO give him authority to form a
company, with S75, 1000, 900 capital. and
to guarantee per cent. dividends upon
two-thirds of that amount For this the
American Government will have 4 right
to have its war vessels transported across
the railway free of charge. and receive
some other privileges. II win also con-
troll the rate of charges for the trans
portation of vessels and passengers, and
will thus be enabled TO make the road
earn its 8 per cent, dividend. He will
not ask that the guarantee be made. or
anything committing the Government
to the support of the railway, until its
practicability shall have been demon
strated. He win raise the capital TO
construct the first ten miles. and will
transport heavy ship over it faster than
one could move through the canal, be-
fore any guarantee is made. Capt.
EadS PROPOSES 10 have wharves built at
points along the line of his road, where
ships may be loaded with the valuable
lumber and other products through
which the road viii pass.

History Of Grant County.

II i we'll ,ettled that we are To have
ii history Of Grant county The West
eri Historical Company, Capt \. T.
4 dreas, publisher and proprietor, viii
II 'dertakc the work and he is now col
J "ting material for the purpose
II there /, any one thing needed in
tbs county il !, good history. Our
p st j. a. worthy of being recorded As Il
is interesting. Quaint and queer it
" 'uld be. and if properly recorded
V luld read like a romance. The Won
Il rs of iictitiou, tales would be tame
compared with history Of the stirring
ents that have occurred within our
u rider, since the white man first made
Il his home
There are many of our pioneers Of
tie past who will gladly hail history.
Many have passed away and carried
with them lcgaeies of historical lore
tlat might have been available had the
history been attempted earlier Others
are living and they are few who were
witnesses and actors in the chief events
o. our past and can contribute to the
cord. Now is the proper time.
We believe the Historical Company are
II 1t only competent for the task, but
n1w have every facility for carrying il
ot. They have gone to work at it in
earnest, and have splendid corps Of
men in the field, who thoroughly under.
md their work. Besides this, we have
arranged to give them the Use of THf
