eighty tons day. This will be doubled In
sixty DAYS. Phosphate is found quite near

crude phosphate is shipped, Richmond
taking thousand tons month. The
phosphate deposits are in eleven counties,

extremely valuable discovery has been
made at Castle Havne-that OF green sand

It is in the small industries that some

attained. On the apparently barren sand

attains great size and rare flavor, and Is
ready for marketing as early as at Savan-

are early in maturing. The Agricultural
Department of the State IS now intro:

DON'T LIKE the CooNs

DETROIT, Aug. 4.-There is a
serious dispute which threatens
the serenity of the Silver Encamp-

"color question" Colonel HEDGES
commander of the department of
Louisiana and Mississippi, said
today: "Unless the thing is
Strengthened ont during this en-.
campment there won't be white
member of the G. A. r. south of
the Potomac a year hence. They
are outnumbering US in the posts,
thus putting us directly under
them. That we will not stand.

name so we could give him our
opinion straight of what we think
OF such fool ours. Some child will
be killed or inj ured by one of them
some day and then there will be a
racket in town that one fool, at
least, will be sorry for. In our ex-
perlence we have found the gen.
uine western cowboys to be brave,
generous: kind-hearted and very
gentlemanly lot Of men. We have
been with them on the range, in
camp and in town and have found
them sober, orderly, peaceful and
industrious; but once in while we
meet a fool galoot, posing as a
ouckaroo and bad man, who, when
he gets in town, Immediately pro-
ceeds to tank himself up, and as
soon as he gets in a good sized jag,
tries to show off on horseback.
Every respectable rider on the
ranges has a profound contempt
for these would-be apes of their
vocation. The fool killer ought to
be a little more industrious than he
is hereabouts.

NATIVE railroad position is too

getting to Salt Lake and Puget

such sublime and tender and fresh

all the desperate efforts that have
been made to boost this forlorn spot
in Idaho, covered all over with the
blight Of desolation, then truly the

The unquestionable great and sud.

at the same time endeavor to rem.

Things that are seldom found:
An honest and truthful politician:
a newspaper that hasn't the largest
circulation; the fellow who gets
licked in the scrapping match; the
girl who refuses an eligible offer of
marriage; the merchant who does
not carry the largest stock and sell
at the lowest prices; the boiler that
wasn't all right just before the ex-
plosion; the farmer who doesn't
raise the finest stock and the best
crops in his neighborhood; dude
with brains; banker who favors
farmers alliance principles and
the man that knows when the old
gun is loaded.
