Shreveport, La, June 16, 1885.
Col. G. W. McCranie, Editor Ouschits
Telegraph-Dear Sir: In yesterdays is
sue Of our daily Times there is an extract
from your pen upon the subject Of mis-
cegenation, for which 1, as q mother,
feel irresistibly impelled to thank you.
Yours is the first, 80 far as have been
able to see, raised in condemnation Of
this black crime; this fearful evil, this
hydra-headed monster that Is polluting
our fair land from border to border, from
center to circumference. Oh, sir, have
waited and listened for so long, for some
one brave enough to speak out in denun-
citation Of this growing evil, which il not
abolished. or arrested. will in the not far
distant future, make Of this proud
southland mongrel nation. Ihave two
fair sons, honorable, upright and virtu-
Gus; and Of whom any mother might
well be proud and IdeSire to keep them
30 but, In the face of such fearful
temptations, such wsntonness and lewd-
ness, as is exhibited by the colored fema-'
les 80 boldly and audsciously upon our
streets, in out houses and everywhere,
how is it possible for one poor weak wo-
man, although fred with love and devo-
ton for her children, to stem the tide Of
evil ? to help them resist successfully the
temptations to which they are exposed ?
] canpotd DO 1t (for i have no doubt there
are many other mothers ss deeply int
rested as myselfO without the strong
arm of the law to aid us. Therefore, /
beg that as you have begun, you will
continue to sgitate this matter, until
the press Of the whole State, nay the
whole South, will join in bitter denun-
citation Of this widespread evil-an evil
which is robbing the mother, wives and
daughters Of honor and respect, and
which will engulf the whole country in
ruin, unless somethidg can be done to
stop it.
Again l thank you. i honor the lofty
courage and virtue which have inspired
you to attack this blight upon the fair
escutcheOn Of our southland, and / fer
veDtly pray that success may attend
your efforts to suppress 1t.

The Rate of Taxation.

A business man of this city, while
discussing the tax levy to-day, de-
plored the necessity for imposing as
high rate as three per cent, which
was found necessary by the Board Of
Commissioners of Alturas county. He
said: "Three per cent! Why, that
is thrice as high as it was in Texas,
in 1877! There | lived in a town of
over 10000 inhabitants, and the Ii
cense Estate, county and city, only
aggregated $l.10 per 500. AS to
taxes they were only 80 cents on the
800, and the valuation was exceed
ingly low. In cities and towns the
levy was limited by law to one, fourth
of one per cent, and it scarcely ex-
ceeded half Of that!'

A Good Suggestion.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Hazen makes the following sugges-
ton to the public: Write or print
your name and address, and the con-
tents of a package, upon the upper
left hand corner of all mail matter.
This will insure its immediate return
to you for correction, if Improperly
addressed or insuf1iciently paid, and
if it is not called for at its destination
it can be returned to you without go
ing to the Dead Letter Office. If the
patrons of the mails would avail
themselves of this privilege it would
enable the Department to restore at
least 90 per cent. of all the undeliv-
cred matter. Letters would be re-
turned free, and the parcels upon pay
ment Of return postage.

FRIEDMAN-FRIEDMAN,
The Reception rendered the Newly
Welded Last Night.

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. S. J..

in Haley Theater last evening, which
was attended by over 200 persons
Only lis printed invitations, for
yourself and LADY," had been issued,
and it is probable that some persons
were unintentIonally overlooked by
the self-constituted committee.
The invited guests began arriving
at the hall about $50, and took seats
on either side, retaining their hats and
wraps. Shortly after 8 o'clock the
bridal party arrived, and the band
struck up the grand march. A Ian
cierS quadrille followed after which
Mr.. and Mrs. t'riedman retired to the
north west corner of the ball, where
they received the congratulations of
their friends.
Dancing was then resumed, and
continued until after l o'clock this
morning, when the guests regretfully
parted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Friedman expressed
themselves as highly gratifed with
their reception, and as exceedingly
fattered by the warm and spontaneous
welcome with which they were greet
ed on their coming home.

UNDOUBTEDLY A SWINDLE.
one In a Position 10 Know Denounces
scheme which 1t Is Attempted TO
f0iSt Upon Our British Cousins.


Foist Upon Our British Cousins.
For some time past rumors have
reached here Of mining speculation
which was being foated, or attempted
to be floated upon the English
market; but the rumors did not as
sumo sufficiently definite shape to
Justify us in denouncing the contem
plated operation as a swindle. In
curry has elected the fact that the
"Alturas," the mine which is used as
a basis for the swindle, is of little
value as scarcely $500 worth of de-
velo?ment work has been done upon
1t, while the surface out cropping, al
though very promising, does not,
make showing that would JUS
tlfy such figure as is asked for the
mine. Several years ago Ex-Governor
Curtis endeavered to "place" the AL
turas upon the New York market
and, we believe, succeeded in organ
lzlng company to operate it. But
the scheme doubtless miscarried, as
the mine still remains in almost its
original condition.
A gentleman who is we'll known
here as thorough mining engineer
and milman, wrote on this subject,
as follows:
EDITOR ENGINEERING AND MINING
JOURNAL:-l have before me your is
sue of March 9th, 1856, in which
note, with mixed feelings of pleasure
and surprise, the notices OF the vari.
Gus contemplated mining ventures of
English corporations.
One in particular struck me as
either monstrous misrepresentation
OF facts, or else a marvellous series Of
typographical errors. | refer to the
Alturas Gold, Limited.
Having lived in this camp for the
past two years, and during that time
managed the only acknowledged gold
mine and l0-stamp mill here in that
period, | may be pardoned if | say
that ana in position to know the
facts concerning our little camp. We
have enough to do to carry our own
Burdens, but to have to stagger under
the load of $5,O00,0O0 reserve mine
is hardly fair.
| know Of no mine that has pro-
duced any such amount monthly as
that quoted. The Last Chance mine
is the only free gold mine worked; all
Others, while having percentage of
gold in their bullion that may be rep,
resented by the figures 50 gold to $50
silver las the fineness), are reputed to
he silver mines.
p. 0. Charles, NJ E., has kept his
visit very quiet, as no one here knows
such person, and have not heard
of him. Could it not be that all the
alluring figures given refer to some
other camp?-Atlanta, Georgia, for
instance, as there is as much proba-
bility of finding a 100000 mine
there to-day as there is of finding one
here this summer You may well say:
awe take little stock in such esti-
mates" Very respectfully,
VERITAs.
ATLANTA, Idaho, April 4, 1886.
This should settle the "scheme''
with investors,a and it doubtless will.
If capitalists are on the lookout for
paying mines they can find scores of
them in this county; but no mine yet
known, either on Wood River or in
Atlanta, is worth more than one
million dollars to any safe investor.
But $5,0OO,000!

THE COLONISTS.
About 80 Came in To-Day, and Hun.
dreds More will Follow within One
Month.


The crowd which assembled at the
depot this afternoon to welcome the
servants which DR.. Rice was expected
to bring to supersede the Chinese, was
disappointed. True, between 80 and
40 immigrants arrived; but they were
all, or nearly all, representative peo-
pie who come to examine the country
for friends and acquaintance. One
gentleman told the TINES reporter
that he represented over 200 persons
who were ready to move, and only
awaiting telegram or letter from
him. A lady-a type-setter and wild
ow of newspaper man of southwest
ern Missouri-said that 30 persons
we're ready to come to Camas Prairie
to take up land if her examination
and report were satisfactory--and so
on.
The regions represented by the ar
rivals are southwestern Missouri,
Kansas, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Da-
kota, Michigan, etc. Among the
crowd are printers, farmers, mechan-
les, clerks, etc.
All agree that the Western States
are fairly alive with people who in
tend TO come to Idaho this year. An
emigrant train of at least 10 cars will
leave Omaha May 4th for "ldaho and

larger train will leave Kansas City
