What is needed in the Warm Springs
Mining District more than any other
one thing, and what we have reason to
expect to see in course of construction
by spring, is a smelter, capable Of re-
ducing fifty or one hundred tons Of ore
daily. The demand for reduction
works of this kind is, if anything, in
excess of the demand for Stamp-mills.
Thousands of tons Of galena ore are
now on the dump, all of which is high
grade, awaiting the advent of capital
to construct smelters for its reduction.
The movers Of this enterprise Will
reap a golden harvest, while the bene-
fit to our camp will be unlimited. The
pony smelter, constructed and operat-
ed by Davis & McPartlan, demon
strated the fact that the smelling ore,
of this camp are easy of reduction
We hope to see men Of means TAKE
hold of this matter at no distant day

The COMPLAINTS AGAINST RAILROADS.
While on all hands the Indebtedness of
the community to railroad enterprise is
gladly acknowledged, and while the aver
age return on railroad investments
throughout tho country is but three per
cent, and the charges generally are lower
plants made against some of the leading
lines are so serious as to have given rise
to one of the angriest discussions of the
time.
The chief complaints, of course, have
been made against the lucrative roads,
those which run through thckly settled
regions, like the New York Central; and
against lines which, like the Central
Pacific, are monopoles pure and simple.
The complaints are of exorbitant charges,
discrimination in favor ofindividuals, firms,
and localities; that The railroad companies
lend themselves to the ggrandizement of
monopolies such as the standard oil CON-
pany, and of minor subsidiary organiza-
tons. car, bridge, express, stockyard. and
elevattng companies which absorb parasit-
ically profits which should belong 10 the
railway shareholders, and which, If right.
fully appropriated, would tend to relieve
the burdens borne by the general public.
The complaints furthermore aver that the
railroad companies make use of their
influence, as employers of large bodies of
voters, to corrupt legislatures and court
that they may remain uupunished in CONS
hitting acts Of fraud and rapscity, and defeat
attempts by the state to exert the control
which the highest authorities declare to be
within its righlful powers.-From 1.-THE
Railroad Problem in the United States" 6y

A NOVEL SUGGESTION. The Cleveland

All that is necessary to BE- done is for

flowers, but that ought 10 be overcome
Sugar, honey and molasses are good sub

Prof G. V. Riley, the en'omologist of
The United States, is in New England,
looking after some of our insect pests.
Secretary Chandler has got him to hear
the grievances of the Boscawen farmers
on the Merrimac against the locust which
has destroyed their grass crop fo' some
years. Prof. Riley recommends that they
draw shallow pans Of Kerosene along the
ground for the insects to jump into, and in
the fall plow deep and destroy the eggs
A wet season like the present will be
unfavorable to them. AS to the spruce
saw fly which is devastating the hacFma
tacks, there is no remedy which can be
applied to forests, and the professor says
we shall have TO wait for natures remedy
which will come from some extreme sea-
son or from parasites. Individual trees,
and groves can be sprayed with arsenical
water and in the fall the ground should be
raked for cocoons. which should be burned.
He thinks that two thirds of all the forests,
in New England and New York, of hack
matack are affected by this scourge,-and
we are not sure but he includes spruce in
this statement. The caterpillar which is
such nuisance on trees in the vicinity of
Boston he thinks can be most successfully
attacked in winter by boys with ladders
and stiff brushes TO 60 over the limbs and
destroy the eggs. As the female moth
cannot travel from the tree on which she
breeds, this would destroy the insect for
several years to come without great
expense.
