Crazy!


We had no idea we were replying
to demented person when we motto.
ed The rather rambling attack of a
nameless sixth district Wing CORES :
pendent, his, her or its paragraphing
having certain degree of continuity
or connectedness in its parts, but in
the last issue the disease is clearly
developed case of literary lunacy,
forming curious mental phantas-
mogaria, rare piece of letter press
,bric-a-brac. And Colora has the
credit of this unfortunate, the first
victim, no doubt. to the shock of the
prospective removal of the fertilizer
works. And one of the religious
type, too, apparently as it uses
"Rev.' to its fantastic nom de plume
interspersed with fire and birthstone.
We rather regret having been led
into addressing one of the feeble
minded seriously. But these crazy
people are, anomalies; they seem
rational at times when suddenly they
break out in torrent of incoherent
gibberish such as our "Rev." impor.
tunale of Colora.

from it, while the depositors of this more
than thirteen hundred millions, the actual
owners ofthe money, receive not one cent Of
this profit. The consequence is that if the
profits derived by these 8 ,140 national banks

they own and have invested in the business.

AS Jefferson wrote in the Declaration OF

self evident" that the depositors who
place this $3.50, 100000 in the banks
should receive fair share of the profits
derived from il in place of the banks being
allowed to pocket the whole. The above is
only small part of the outrage which our
financial system is inficting on the public.
and can any one wonder that the wealth Of
the nation is flowing in steady stream from
the many to the few, and that every sue
ceeding year finds the people more severely
pinched financially, their property shrink
ing in value and themselves helpless, know
ing not which way to turn for relief?

productive industry which the people must
turn their attention to if they hope to better
their condition by rescuing from their grasp
those valuable franchises, which are as
truly public property as the public lands,

Expensive officers (p)

Ironically speaking the county
commissioners Office is a peculiarly
valuable Office considered from a
pecuniary point of view. Being in
the commissioners office the other
day, the clerk, Col I. D. Davis, held
up voucher for six months salary
and expenses of Mr.. Jas. C. Croth-
ers, amounting to $104.6O. This
sum included in addition ito the SAL
airy as commissioner, the work which
was formerly done by eight Road
Inspectors which cost the county
not less than $4,000. We dom think
the people will want to spare jeans
at the end of his term, but will ask
him to stay another two years, and
look after the Office of county COM
missioner and the roads of three cleo.
ton districts for the liberal wages of
lO4 every six months, and at the
end of four years he will have earned
the snug sum of 1885, or there about,
enough to set up nice little BUSH
ness. We did not see the vouchers
of the other members of the board
but have no doubt that they were all
equally liberal. And we apprehend
that the people will refuse to let the
other members Of the board ,WMr.
Bond and Mr.. Williams, retire, bat
keep them also till they get the pub.
lie roads and the public treasury in a
healthy and presentable condition.
Let US compute the cost TO the county
to secure the services of these com.
petent and valuable officers for four
years, $104.60 each for six months,
will aggregate grand total in four
years of $2,51040, a pretty stiff sum
but then Seminar earned that
amount in one year, to say nothing
of the ten or twelve thousand 26
road inspectors earned annually.
Guess we'll engage the percent three
for another term.

A New Lumber Company.

Last Monday the we'll known Ma
son Lumber Co. ended its legal career,
but it closed in first class, honorable
condition, all its debts being paid
The failure of Detroit firm some
years ago financially embarrassed the
said company, and an assignment was
made in the early part of 1888. r.
G. Faulconer was appointed assignee.
Under his able and efficient manage
ment, the business of the company
was continued in vigorous manner,
the mill kept in operation, and the re-
suit was that the company became
solvent and all the debts, with inter-
est, have been paid.
Yesterday its place in the business
world was taken by new company
whose capital amounts to $4,000, all
of which has been paid in. The stock
holders are we'll known Detroit citi-
zens, comprising VIM. H. Strong, Jas.
L. Edison, T. H. Hinchman, G. A.
Kent, S. M. Cutcheon, Samuel Heav-
enrich, VIM. G. Colburn and George
X. Root.
The head office is at Detroit, and
the business office is in this city. The
new company have four years stock
of pine. Their mill is capable of man
ufacturing seventeen million feet of
lumber per year, and they have ex-
tensiye wharf room. LAUNDERING OPP
erations will be carried on extensive
ly this winter. The officers are as fol-
lows:
Presidept-Wm G. Colburn.

The Air-Brake and its Application

Inc Alr-brake anu ltS Appllcatl0n.
Under the middle of the car the or
binary pull-rod of the old mandrake
is cut and two levers are Inserted
One lever is connected with the brake
cylinder, and the other with the piston
which slides in that cylinder. When
air is admitted to this cylinder the
piston is driven out, and the brakes
are applied exactly as they would be
were the chains wound up by turning
the hand wheels. Air is supplied to
the brake cylinder from the reservoir
near it, in which the pressure is main
tanned by the action of an air com.
pressing pump placed on one side of
the locomotive. The pump fills the
reservoir on the engine, and also the
car reservoirs, by means of the train
pipe which extends under all of the
cars. When the brakes are off there
is a full pressure of air in all of the
car reservoirs and train pipes. 1t is
a reduction of the pressure in the train
pipes which causes the brakes to be
applied.
This fact must be borne in mind
for it is on this principle that the au
tomato action of the brakes depend
If a train parts, or if the air leaks
out of the train pipe, the brakes &c

it is secured in the case of the air.
brake by one of the most ingenious
little devices that man ever contrived
that is, the triple valve, which j,
placed in the piping system between
the brake cylinder and the car reser
voir. This triple valve has passage
to the brake cylinder, to the car res
ervoir, to the train pipe, and to the
atmosphere. Which of these pas.
sages are open and which are closed
depends upon the position of piston
inside of the triple valve, and thu
position of that piston is determined
by tire difference in air-pressure OF
either side of it. Thus, when th,
pressure in the train pipe is greater
than that in the car reservoir. tn,
triple valve piston is forced over, sa,
to the left, communication is opened
from the train pipe to the car reser
voir, and the air pressure in the latte
is restored from the main reservoir OF
the locomotive. At the same time
passage is opened from the brake cyl
inder to the atmosphere, the compress
cd air escapes, the brake piston il
driven back by a spring, and thu
brakes are released. -Scribner's Mag
azine.

Under the Massachusetts, license
law the number of saloons in Boston
has been reduced from sos last year,
paying a revenue of $640,O00, to 7SO
places this year, yielding 100000.
The legislature limited the number of
saloons to one for every 500 of the
population and the license fee from
1926 to 81 200. Under the new sys-
TEN the report says that it is imposi-
BILE to find one open during the pro-
