THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 8. 1892.

The Argus and Patriot is not SO
fired with democratic zeal as TO be un-
willing to give honor TO whom honor
is due, and pays the following just trib-
ute to Gov. Page, whose administra-
tion is just closing Ludlow Tribune.
We may say At this time that Car
roll 5. Page has made most excellent
executive, having shown liberality and
breadth Of mind in dealing with all
subjects which have come within his
official province, aud will retire with
the best wishes Of every good citizen
and the public recognition Of lots Of
good work faithfully and honestly per-
formed. This tribute on our part we
consider TO be well earned and abun-
dainty deserved.

oi men, who, with the expenditure Of a
large amount Of money and terrible
hardships, have accomplished what
Only to go a little farther north than
any one else has done, and one won-
ders what i amounts to after all in a
practical way. However, this is a
question which is asked in the infancy
Of any scientific labor. We have
learned many things regarding the
fora, fauna and people Of Greenland
which may be Of commercial value.
Let US be proud that our country, tho
young, has not been the last ;in scien-
tific exploration, and look forward to
the time when the mysteries Of the Po-
lar Sea shall be as open to US as those
Of Central Africa now are.

The law of ste relating to the
taking Of trout is in somewhat nn-
certain shape, owing to botch-work in
amending It at the last session, aud its
amendment, in the direction Of clear
ness and certainty, ought to be one Of
the first jobs undertaken by the legis-
lature. And the law relative to the
bird ordinarily called the partridge is
not much better. The revised laws Of
1880 speak oft as the ''ruffed grouse"
but all the amendments to the game
law since passed have it "ruiiled
grouse. Now, no bird OF that name
is known either to scientists or sports
men. Ii has been named by the for
mer bonasa umbellus and BY the latter
it has been called, in one locality or
another, rutfed grouse, ruffed heath
cock, brown rufied grouse, drumming
grouse, shoulder-knot grouse, drum
ming partridge, tippet grouse. white
tiesher, pheasant and mountain pheas-
ant but no one except the Legislators

material prosperity. He was a demo-

OF all the foolish cIamor in the world
the most foolish is that now being rails
ed about rich people putting their mon
ey in our savings banks TO eyade the
taxes.
Why is this clamor so very foolish ?
Because it is not true that rich peo-
pie deposit their money Gin excess Of
$4,000 in the savings bank, to any
extent. The average Of each deposit
is less than $500.
Because all savings bank deposits
are taxed and heavily taxed too. And.
mark you, the tax comes out Of the
poor people, who constitute 80 per
cent of the patrons Of our savings
banks. Republican.

two sides. The first discusses the
Scandinavians, who are among our
best class Of immigrants. They have
stood the great test OF all immigrants,
the ability to become Americans speedi-
Iy and thoroughly. They have come
to this country IN great numbers, with
the intention Of making homes here,
and have settled mostly in the Western
states. Their great passion is for
the possession Of land and the inde-
pendence that goes with it, and this

were driven to the Palace Hotel, where
al artments had already been engaged for
them.
The name of Mr.. Chids is well-known
here, but this is the first time lie has ever
visited the coast. lie is now pretty well
advanced in years and it Is doubtful IL he
ever would have come to the far West had
it not been for his attending the opening of
the Printers Home in Denver. just before
he started TO make that trip he concluded
TO enlarge his plans and accordingly mapped
out a tour which will take him through II
States, one Territory and one province
and carry him over 10000 miles OF his own
country.

Cured 10 him often and pleasantly. IL was
