It Doesn't Stop Speculative
Buying

Probably there was no measure ever
Introduced i'm congress concerning which
there Is a more redical difference of opinion
than Senator Washbui antioption bill.
Us advocates assert that it is designed to
5eneht the farmers. and will have the
effect. if it becomes a law, Of raising the
price of wheat twenty cents q bushel;
while its opponents just rs e,nph ,~ticslly
assert just the contrary. They aver that
1t Is n scheme concocted by the Mime
spolis millers to rob the farmers, and IL q
it would derHeciate prices forty cents n
bushel,
The attractive feature Ct the, bill to
many people is that it claims to be aimed
at The su oppression If gambling in cereal
and other agricultural products. 1t iD,-
poses a fine upon short selling. or selling
Tor future delivery property which the
seller does not own at tbs time of sale
Millions OF bushels a:e sold in this way
on the various exchanges, and Senator
Washburn claims that it is the weight of
this nat wheat pressing upon the market
that dcpresses prices. Chas. A. Pillsbury,
the big Minneapolis miller who is now
backing up Senator Washburn, is out il n
new interview in which, in reply to the
objection that option trading is what
creates a market and that to cut it Cf'
would leave the producer at the mercy of
the millers and elevator men and enable
them to got the farmers wheat At any
prices they bad a mind to pny, Mr.. p.
says the bill does not cut off speculative
buying, but speculative selling. 1t will!
puzzle some people to see how this can be
done; but tho problem is easy enough
While a man is prohibited from selling
hat he hasn't got, n man with wheat in
hand can sell it for future delivery. lie is
then not a speculative seller, for lie is
selling that which he actually owns; but
The man who buys it may he a speculative
buyer. for he is paying the present price
a1d contracting to receive the property q.
a future time. 1t is thus = speculative
transaction so far as the buyer is con-
ccrued, because he takes the risk on the
future price.
are fighting the Washburn measure be-
cause it would cut off their occupation, and
MIR. Pillsbury expresses his surprise that
the Minneap polls business organizations,
composed Of men CT gagged in Legitimate
occupations, should oppose it. He thinks
they must have had the wool pulled over
their eyes by the grain gamblers, He
says the louisiana lottery is q pigmy COM
pared with the immense evil Of option
gambling which has grown up in this
country, and we guess he is right. The
fact, which can be clearly demonstrated
that the bill Doesn't propose to put a stop
to speculative buying, is a complete
nswer to tho current objections urged
against the bill in behalf of the producers.

The Turtle Mountain Park.

Some one in the vicinity of Grand
Forks has sprung the rumor that the
Pioneer has gone back upon the park
project.
Whoever the party may be he I'M
doubtedly has not been a very close
reader Of the PIONEER or he would
certainly have been aware that we
have always been a stanch advocate
OF the park reserve. We have from
time to time set forth our reasons
therefor, believing them to be good.
A park i'll the Tlrtle Mountains
means Il beautiful sum ner resort
which will attract visitors and tourists
and will be the means of advertising
this county in particular, and will
give it a national reputation.
1t will protect the growing timber
which will be much needed in the
future to hold a water supply for the
adjacent farming lands, and in this
country experience has shown that
devastation Of Our forests Injuries
agriculture to an alarming extent.
:. The lakes in the mountains, of
which there are many, will hold the
water supply in reserve and it will
be carried OF to the outlying dis
tricts FOR miles around, greatly in
creasing the growth of grain aud
grass, No man will be injured and
the benefits will lie farreaching.
No Rights 1afringed Upon.
The Pembina county Democrat
writes an able defcuse Of the park in
. recent issue and we take the libex.
ty to publish it for the benefit Of oul
readers.
Tbs proposed national park al
Turtle Mountains has caused u great
amount of comment from papers in
all parts Of the state some fayoring
the scheme, others opposing it. From
the statement Of Mr.. Barrett, state
forester, which was published a few
days ago, the whole idea of such a
park is different from what it has
been termed by opposing papers, j.
ETA grand land steal. No settler
will loase. u foot Of land. the Indians
will not be interfered with and their
reservation rights respected. The
good, live timber will be protected,
the underwood and dead wood will
furnish fuel for years to the settlers.
The hundreds Of little springs and
small lakes will be kept from drying
up and this the supply Of water fol
the tiney brooks md rivulets, the
handsome creeks and Silver river
will not be Diminished or lose their

What is Thought of Flagstaff.

G. W. Pittock, a correspondent of the Albuquerque Times, recently visit ed Flagstaff and writes as follows about us:
 From this point the famous red building stone, as well as timber in un- limited quantities, is shipped The former is largely used in the Commer- cial Club building, the new Armijo block and to some extent in other Al buquerque blocks. In far of Oregon and away east is found this stone iu prominent buildings. Several saw mills are busy in turning out lumber and around each is the nucleus of new town. Large company" stores follow, and soon monopolize the trade of the lumber camps.
 With a good municipal government the town will rapidly shake of its prim- itive manners and become a city of some pretensions. A change should come at the earliest date in respect to interior improvements. Rabbit Bros. have put fine business block, the ground floor of which they occupy, and which for completeness in all respects. will compare with any Albuquerque house. Other blocks, hew and other- wise, would be creditable to any town. A free library is supported, as we'll as two hotels. a bank and much else goes to create good town. Fire protection is still lacking, though well earned eX- perience argues in favor of one or more fire companies and a good water sup ply. The railroad company afford the present supply. Two papers, the SUN and the Democrat, are published weekly,
 The Grand Canyon is a far of at traction reached by stage and horse back. Nearer to town is the trail to
 
 the qeak of the San Francisco moun- tains, which was recently opened all of the way. Here, fine views of near towns and the country are had. Other attractions in hunting resorts, etc., are plentiful.
 One thousand dollars was expended on the 4th and 9th celebrations, and all paid up on time. ''Sheep shearing' and ''roping and tying" were features of interest to strangers in all western towns on the Fourth.
 In 1855, Lieut.. Beal and party, in surveying a road from the Rlo Grande to Fort Tejon, in California, passed this place. The men cut the limbs from straight pine tree and ran up the stars and stripes. The tree still stands, and from this circumstance the town derives its name. Altitude of Flagstaff 7,200 and distance from AL buquerque 3i3 miles.

A Fine Publication.

Worlds Columbian Exposition H. lustrated for July."-To say this num- Der is the most interesting, beautiful and valuable of all the numbers so far issued is putting the fact very mildly. Indeed it is the crown jewel of the sev- enteen artistic gems--the seventeen numbers so far published. This month the frontispiece is full page, half-tone, copper plate engraving of the Hon, NJ. II. De Young of San Francisco, third Vice President of the Worlds Colum- bian Commission. It contains many leading articles of paramount import ance to all those interested in the growth and development of the Expo sition. We notice especially 1.-The Ma ton Wishes It," setting forth very strongly that the Exposition is not only a National enterprise, but should be dignified by substantial National sup port. There are two very valuable and timely articles entitled, Sunday open ing vs. Closing" and Sunday Open ing at the Worlds Fair" There is a schedule of the "Official Traffic Ar engagements tor the Exposition in- cluding the railroads and the trans  oceanic steamship lines. Very con- spicuous among the artistic features are engrayings, nearly all full page, of statuary for the adornment of the prin- cipal buildings. There is also double page engraving of the Mines and Min ing building, the first of the great de- gartment buildings to be completed. Altogether, too much cannot be said in praise of this admirable number. In a more pleasing and definite manner, by means of it, than ever before can we appreciate the great importance and the educational influence of the Worlds Columbian Exposition. From first to last there will be sixty numbers of this journal. Price of the entire issue, post paid to any address in the United States, Canada or Mexico, SIP.

X slick Colonel.

On last Friday there arrived in Flag staff an individual, who called himself Colonel Richard l.. Baker, of Virginia, and he advertised that he would deliver a lecture on ''Love, Courtship and Marriage" The lecture would be in- terspersed with music by a col0red quartettc and dance would take place at the close of the grand literary and musical entertainmeut-thc date was set for Saturday night, To make the affair a sure success, the Colonel made arrangements with business manager of the Coconino Cornet Band to play for the occasion, agreeing to pay the band $50 for their services. On Satur- day night the band played their sweet est music and marched from their room to Powell's opera house where they played their loudest and most ear piercing melodies, but it all failed to draw any of Flagstaif's people to the hall or the shekels from their pockets. The hour for opening the lecture was postponed until o'clock, at that tune the Colonel. in his most winsOme man. ner, asked the band to play one more piece in front of the hall, and stated that he would proceed with his lecture, and would return all tickets taken in and deliver his lecture again on Mon day night, assisted by his colored quar- tctte, which had failed to arrive. The band, after acceeding to the Colonel's mild request returned, and the audi ence of three or four waited for the scion of five generations to entertain them. Waiting proved tiresome, and a search of the stage and property room failed to find the Colonel. All night long was the search kopt up by the business manager of the band, but the Colonel had disappeared as if swallowed by the earth, but not so. Colonel Richard l.. Baker had disap- pcared through the back door and struck the railroad track and started for the west the next morning, found the son of one of the very first F. F. V.'s in Williams.

Fred w. smiths Dedication.

The commissioner of the general land office has been studying the question of the probable way of getting around the Fred Smith dedication so the settlers will not sustain loss which will fall heavily upon them. He has made report Tn which the following appears.
 It is estimated that he will require say $25, 1000 to settle the claims caused by the dedication of Fred W. Smith. In cases where it is actually shown that money was paid by persons to Fred Smith in his official capacity as receiv- CT of public moneys for entries of pub llc lands and where purchasers were compelled to pay a second time for the land in order to perfect their entry, or where the land was improperly sold at @. 50 per acre, think relief should be afforded.

TIE Peoples party demand that the amount of currency issued by the gov ernment be increased to $50 per capita. From the standpoint assumed by the party that the government has only to issue the currency and declare it legal tender for all purposes, and it needs no other backing but the wealth of the nation. The increase demanded in eX- tremely moderate. Fifty dollars might do man without a cent in his pocket. some good for time, at least Now the party, perhaps, had no idea of an equal distribution of the money, but they could with just as much reason have demanded that the per capita should be $50, ,000 and there would have been money enough to go around. If ,he wealth of the nation is sufficient guarantee for currency issued by the government, would not the nation be enriched by every new issue of cur rency sufficiently to keep the guarantee good.
