Hats from 25c to 5000 at McGranahan's
Currant Creek.

This little valley is attracting considerable
attention of late from the splendid crops
raised there this season. The creek was for
merly known as Dry creek, but the name was
found to be a msnomer, as water runs the
year round in sufficient quantities for all
practical purposes. The valley is situated
between Leroux and Surface creeks, and is
settled by as intelligent a set of pioneers as
will be found anywhere. Great abundance
of wild currants grow along its banks, after
which these settlers named the creek SER
viceberres and other wild fruit are found in
abundance in the valley. Mr.. Frank Hep
worth has field of wheat which he is conf
dent will yield sixty bushels to the acre, Mr..
William Pain has corn rs fine as any grown
in Kansas or Nebraska all his other crops
are fine. Mr.. James Kane has ranch in the
valley which he partly cultivated this year
with good success. From the limited time
these gentlemen had to get their lands in
shape they have done remarkably well. By
another year they will be heard from. Hops
grow wild very luxuriently along the creek,
and without doubt the ranchmen will take
advantage of the high price of the article and
gather them.

A second crop of wheat or oats from off the
same field is something of rarety, even in
this country of wonders. But such can be
done on the reservation. Samuel Wade, of
Paonia, harvested his oats some time ago.
then irrigated the field again, and now has
the second crop ripening from the old stub
bic. He says he can't see but what the second
crop will be about as heavy as the first.
Wheat will do the same way. L. c. Coleman

A CASE IN POINT.

The true working of the reduction
of tariff and the abolition of internal
revenue tax has been forcibly illus
trated by the late repeal Of the inter
nal revenue tax on matches. 1t was
boastfully claimed by the companies
that held monopoly of this bust
ness that they would add the reduced
tax to their profits. and consumers
would not be benefited thereby, but
that they would become immensely
rich by reason of the increased pro-
fits. This boast has been shown to
be vain and foolish. The truth is the
manufacturers would give millions to
have the tax reimposed. The N. O.
City Item epitomizes the whole thing
in few words, thus:
There has been an immense sale oil
matches in New York during the past
week. In three days 81. 1000 gross Of
all sorts and shapes were sold in
that city by agents Of the factories
The cause was the taking off of the
| manufacturers tax. July 2 the price
fell from 81 50 a gross to City cents
but the demand being SO great the
manufacturers raised the price tc
seventy five cents, and even then the
supply was not equal TO the demand
Ali kinds have deprecated materially
The price will eventually fall to abou
forty-ive cents, which is near the fail
market value at present prices of Ia
Dor and what little material and cap
ital are necessary. We hope to SCI
half dozen or more factories started
in this city, as we may as well suppl.
all the country tributary to it as t
let the profits 60 elsewhere. W.
should like to hear from some of on
contemporaries who SO dogmaticall.
lcommitted themselves to the Ney
| York Times sensation. They vii
probably defend by saying they pub
lished it as news, thus admitting thei
inability to tell truth from falsehood
We hope they will atone for their er
ror by helping along the idea Of HON
| factories. We are not. like Mr. Ken
ner, afraid that competition will I'D
| vance the price of any article, eve
gas and matches.
