High Water.

For tho past ten days the Hum
boldt river has risen very rapidly, at
the rate Of about three inches every
t~wenty-four hours. The rains during
the past week are the cause of the
steady raise. AS there is n great deal
OF snow yet in the mountains it is
expected that it will be much higher
by the first Of June. So far no dam
age has been done hero except to n
portion OF the rock dam across the
slough, just above the iron bridge.
Should tho river raise n foot and a
half higher than it noS is it will I'M
doubtedly carry out thu lowcr bridge,
which is now only a short distance
above tho water.
Parties in from tho North Fork say
that that stream is higher than ever
known before, and that tho county
bridge, which was built about three
yenrs ago, is almost sure to be washed
away. We arc informed that the
water is touching the bridge, and, il
so, it will only take a slight raise to
carry 1t off.
AT Carlin tho water has overflowed
the flat OF the south side OF the new
iron bridge AMI washed the roadbed
away, thereby rendering the road i'm
passible, though the bridge is in no
danger. Goo. Mcintosh and n force
OF men are at work turning the water
back into the channel. A young son
OF JOS. Eanor came near being
drowned there last week. He was
driving some horses across tho over
flowed portion Of tho road, when his
horse got into deep water and not be-
ing able to swim, he was in danger of
losing his life, but fortunately n wire
fence was near ut hand which he
caught hold of before being swept in
to the swift current.
At Palisndo the bridge which spans
the Humboldt is in immediate danger
of being carried of. 1t is reported
that tho water has nearly washed
away the abutments, and that the
bridge is liuble to go at any moment.

MONEY ENOUGH. SAYS WIN

Harrisonis Wall street npologist has
lcen writing another screed on finance
in which he contends that there is
money enough among tho people to
transact the business Of the couatry.
JIs estimates that there is SD per
head, and claima that this is a larger
circulation per capita than is pos
sessed by any other country, except
Franco. Tho calculation might be all
we'll enough il u money were all in
circulation amoES the people and
somewhat equally distributed. But
such not being the case, tho estimate
IS wholly misleading. Every bank in
TIM land must hold in is vaults from
u TO p per cent. of its capital and
deposits il it would conduct a safe
binkins business. This, coupled
With the several reserve funds in the

the agriculturists aud toilcrs of the
country who almost invariably have
thrcc-piy mortgages on their posses
si"ns, where they have anything ut
all to mortgage. 1t is the object OF
this latest Administration illumination
to make it appear that We have an
ubIndln;e OF money and that there
is no necessity for adding tot it by an
increase of silver coinage. OF course
the whole statement is false from be-
ginning to end. Money is scarce,
times depressed and the great mlior-
ity of people poor in all sections of
the Union. Mr. Window and his po-
litical and gold bug associates can go

OGDEN.
A Flourishins City With a Brilliant
Future.

One who visits Ogden today, after
a years absence from the city, will be
struck with the evidences OF prosper
ity and permanent growth which are
to be found on every hand. While
there does not seen to bc n "boom,"
suIh us is usually understood by the
term, there is n gradual, steady and
healthy increase in wealth and popu-
lation which seems destined to give
the intcr-mountain city a prominent
position among the cities west OF the
Rocky Mountains. The Importance
of Ogden rs a great railroad center
and consequent supply depot and dis
tributing point for Utah, Idaho,
Wyoming and Nevada is not 70 be
u~ndcr-yuluei, and this fact in itself
gives Ogden n prominent position as a
city OF Importance in the Great West.
PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS
One Of the most noticeable features
of Ogden is the vast amount OF build
ing which is constantly going on, and
residences and business houses are
being erected as rapidly rs material
and labor can be supplied. y num-
Der of fine and substantial buildings
have been erected during the past
year, among which are the Union
Depot, and the Cortez Building on
Washington Avenue, and others are
in process OF building and rapidly
nearing completion.
II BROOM HOTEL,
a massive structure on the corner
OF Washington Avenue and 25th
street, east OF the Union Depot, is n
first class hotel, complete in all its
appointments, whero the soiourncr

tho Daily Commercial, tho Daily

The Standard and Commercial are

so many newspapers is m evidence Of
the intelligence Of her people.
PRESIDENT HAERIsoH's FIRST VETO.
Ogden enjoys (?) tho proud dis
tinction of having called forth Prcsi-
dent uarrison's first veto. While
Mr.. Harrison was a member OF the
United States Senate Il law was passed
prohibiting any city OF u Territory
from mourning an Indebtedness in OK
cess OF i per cent. Of her assessed
valuation. During tho present ses-
sion of Congress Il bill was passed
authorizing Ogden to issue bonds to
tho extent OF 8 per cont. Of hcr rs
scsscd valuation for the purpose of
making extensive public improve
mcnts commensurate with her rapid
growth. This bill was vetoed by tho
President, which is scarcely to DO
wondered at when it is understood
that no was tho author of the 4 per
cent. loan bill.
