to Ohio. He YVES as bright and cheerful as

claims that he will not only be elected

votes in the caucus. The pretentious list oi

which Proves 10 be Romance Pure
and simple.

In yesterday mornings RegisLer there
appeared story, very appropriately called
"a Convent Romance" which was cred.
tied (for wonder) to the New York Jour.
nal. It purported to be the story Of two
lovers who were prevented from marrying
by the young lsdy's parents. The young
lady took the veil in the convent at MI. de
ChantaI, near this city, "out Of spite" The
young man in the case became priest,
and according to the story was sent to Mt.
do Chantal on the death Of the old Father
who previously ministered there. The nun
met her former lover at the confessional, a
recognition ensued; she tainted, there was
scene, followed by an explanation, and
the Pope absolving both from their VOWS,
they were married, moved 10 Colorado and
there lived happily until recently, when
the ex-priest died.
The story might be considered q very
pretty one Il 1t were not lacking in one es-
sential element-that Of truth. A promi-
nent lay member OF the Catholic church
caffed at the INTRLLIGREcER Office yester-
day, and directed attention TO the article,

The late Mr.. Woodward, OF Wheeling,
used to say that "the banking end OF the
nail business was the fancy end" OF il.
And, just so, the money.lending business
out here is the fancy end OF wheat raising.

branches scattered about at different small
centers in this region, and they are gath

interest does not mean poor security out
here, the Duke OF Wellington's remark to
the contrary notwithstanding, for the se-
curity Is the very best. 1t is the eternal
law supply and demand that Is asserting
itself.
Speaking Of money lending, they have
just put in force mortgage law in Oregon
that is causing a good deal OF comment.
The law provides that all money loaned on
real estate shall be taxed at It's full value,
and that the owner Of real estate who is in
debt for money may deduct the mortgage
from his return by paying the tax on itanu
holding it as set off for SO much interest
paid the mortgage. The result has been TO
divert money from Oregon TO this territory
where there is no usury Law. Eight per
cent is the legal rate in Oregon (ten per
cent by contract) while here anything
you agree to pay Is legal. Eastern
as well rs foreign capitalists have sent out
a great deal OF money here TO be loaned on
real estate, and II hes been put out at ten
and twelve per cent net, all expenses paid
by the borrower. How truly did wise old
Solomon gay that "the borrower is servant
to the lender"

10 LONGER A GRAZING CouNrRY,

This is not grass country. The native

for it. All the so-called pasture lands look
