From AL parts Of the U. S. comes the story
Of rising boom in business. Mills are
Starting up; others are running hours over,

flush of good times again on the face Of sf
fairs. Ottawa, an agricultural town in the
main, has not IS yet heard of these good
things. The bad weather and corn picking
keeps farmers at home. Those who do come
into town are not buying much or buying on
credit. Money in the banks is in demand
more so than for years. Is it good sign.
Usually a tight money market means good
times. Does it mean so heres Quite the
contrary. 1t is bad sign.
Ottawa's prosperity comes when the far

spects short with prices stationary, and not
likely to be mnch higher, with outlying
towns getting her grain at higher prices

MR.. BLAINE AGAIN.

to the editor of the Kennebec Journal de.
c.sres himself 70 be a true civil service re-
former, and not spoilsmen as his past
