produce quiet. Feed was higher at an

ground feed and corn meal. Middlings
and bran each advanced u a ton. Po-
tatoes are a little stronger. The hide
market continues weak. Hides are down
to about the lowest figure they can

Trocadero Last Evening.
The magnificent "rrocadero" fairly
blazed with myriad lights last evening,
handsomely attired guests swept hither
and thither through the hall, and over
all hung the sweet, heavy perfume of
numerous rare and costly flowers. The
occasion was a dance party. the third in
n series given by Messrs. Ham and Guild
and was under the auspices of Mrs Fred
Ames.
AT o'clock the guests commenced TO
arrive and soon atterward the first
strains or music from the orchestra
called the eager dancers on to the floor.
Then came "A prolonged seasol of gaiety
broken only by short intermission at
midnight for supper.
The hall was never in better condition
ana the Il ,or fairly shone under the glare
OF the bright lights The party was n
very merry one aud enjoyed to the ut
most every dance number.

THERE seems to be but little oppo-
sition here to Representative Merrliis
bill for keeping county roads in re-
pair. 1t gives County Commission
ers power to let out roads by con-
tract where they deem it best. Some
think that law to compel each dis
trict to keep in repair its own roads
would be the better plan. The col
umns of the WORLD are open to any
who may wish to give their views
As no objection to any extent has
been heard, the natural inference Is
that the bill is generally approved OF
by the people of this county. 1t is
certainly an improvement on the
present road law. The opinion o.
the WORLD is that it is about as gooo
a bill as could be drawn.

reputation of being the ablest debater

juneau free tro0B.
The Stickeen Indians positively
assert that within the past FIVE years
they have seen animals which, from
the description given, must be masto-
dons. Last spring, while out hunt
ing, one of these Indians came across
q series of large tracks, each the size
of the bottom of salt barrel, sunk in
the moss. He followed the curious
trail for some miles, finally coming
out in full view of his game. As =
class these Indians are the braves of
hunters, but the proportions of this
new species of game filed the hunter
with terror and he took to swift and
immediate fight. He describes the
creature as being as large as a pos,
traders store, with great, shining yel-
lowish white tusks and a mouth large
enough to swallow . man at single
gulp. He further says that the ami
NAL was undoubtedly of the same
species as those whose bones and
tusks lie all over that section of the
country.
The fact that other hunters have
told of seeing these monsters brows-
ing on the herbs up along the river
gives certain probability to the
story. Over on Forty Mile creek
bones of mastodons are quite plenti
full. One ivory tusk nine feet long
projects from one of the sand dunes
on that creek, and single teeth have
been found that were so large tina
they would be . good load for ont
man to carry. l believe that th'
mule-footed hog still exists; also tina
live mastodons play tag with the au
rora every night over on Forty Mill
creek, in Alaska.

IT looks strange that money-lend-
ers, and especially the banks, of this
State, will use every effort to cast a
slur on the use of the white metal as
money. With the death of the silver
mining industry In Idaho, not only
the miners, farmers and other pro-
ducers would feel the evil effects, but
the money-lenders as we'll. That
they will perslstly exhibit a disap
proval of the use of silver as money
is no credit to them, neither to their
sagacity nor business Judgment, and
shows deplorable lack of loyalty to
the best interests of their State. They
have all notes drawn" Payable in
United States gold COIN" Lawful
money of the United States is all
that laborers, producers and business
men generally require. The Legis-
lature ought to enact law making
it a heavy penalty-both fine and i'm
prisonment would not be too severe
for a money-lender to attempt te
exact payment in U. S. gold coin
Besides this the note or other evi
dence of debt ought to be invali
dated. Money that is good enough
for the great majority of the people
is good enough for the small minori
ty-the non-producing money-lend
ers, and an edict of law ought to ST
proclaim, with severe penalty at
tached for noncompliance. Such I
law ought to have been enacted year

A bill has passed the House that
onght never to have gone through.
i is to be hoped that the Senate will
give It . tap ON the head that will
cause it to keel over and die. II
10 for the payment Of county taxes in
county warrants. At FIRST glance this
bill looks innocent and altogether
fair, but with : little cogitation its
real character becomes apparent. 1t
furnishes ) nice opportunity for GER
tain class to pay on an average Of 95
cents on the dollar Of taxes while the
other and larger class will have to pay
IN full. This is the way it will work:
The average market value Of county
warrants throughout the State is no
more than 95 cents on the dollar, and
perhaps less. Only small per cent.
of the population il each county
purchases county script, for the rea-
son that only small per cent. is able
to do SO. The man who is not an in
terest-gatber is forced to sell his
script for whatever be can get for
it. The moneyed man buys it At q
discount, but turns it over for taxes
dollar for dollar and comes out win
ner FIVE cents on every dollar. The
moneyless man loses FIVE cents on
every dollar OF script, hut when he
pays bis taxes he pays in full. The
moneyed class as rule is success
ful evader of taxes to an alarming
extent, even when financial laws are
SO framed as to be equal and exact If
obeyed to the letter. But law that
plainly says to the moneyed class
I" You can, without any violation Of
the statute, pay 95 cents on the dol
lar, or less" and to the moneyIess
mamie who is not so fortunate,
financially, as to be able to invest
in script, or to hold what he may OBJ
tain from the county for services rem
dered-the bill virtually says: "You
will have to pay in cash, and without
any discount" This is a bill that
should never become a law while
county script is at a discount. 1t is
a twin brother of that other bill which
ever and anon bobs up to exempt
mortgages from taxation. Both ought
to be sent hand in hand down into
the shades of the cold, deep, dank
abyss of total oblivion, without mer-
cy and without hope of resurrection.
