They say dog-raising pays because the
State of Maine gets 100000 from that
industry q this year in the way of
taxes. Well, it may pay the State this
year but there is "A crop of damages to
come in for sheep destroyed by dogs
that will white this amount down
somewhat, probably. What is the
States gain is the towns loss. This tax
was formerly revenue to the towns that
taxed dogs, but now it goes to the
State. 1t may b" better thus but We
doubt it.

Old paper money, ssiled, diseased,
or worn te shreds, should not be con-
tinued in circulation. The Govern.
ment should long ago have adopted
a method of exchange Of new for old,
as is done in all foreign countries.
An expert examination proves that
old money is full of bacteria and
disease germs. Congressman Outh-
waite is preparing a bill providing
for the exchange of new paper money
for old, at all United States Sub
Treasures, and it should be made a
law by the present Congress. Our
legislators pay too little heed to such
precautions against the spred of
disease.

The completion Of the Great North
ern Railroad to its Pacific terminus at
Seattle makes q new through line
directly from st. Paul to the Pacific
coast, with its terminus at the great
seaport city of the Evergreen State.
This means much for the Pacific coast.
and particularly for Seattle. There
are those who already predict for
this city speedy rivalry not only with
Portland, but also with San Francisco
itself. The Great Northern now pro-
poses to establish a line OF steamers
across the ocean from Seattle. Best
of all, the new line means a most ag-
gressive and active competitor with
the Canadian Pacific.

Treasury to pay them. 1t is stated
that there are now 100000 cases on

Great numbers OF people continue
to flock to the newly discovered gold
fields in Utah. Reports seems TO ill.,
dictate that these are extensive and
fairly rich. The sands along the
Colorado and San Juan rivers for
nearly two hundred miles are believ-
ed to contain gold in paying quanti-
ties, though 10 sparsely distributed
as to make impossible the phenomenal
washings of the old California gold
beds. Nevertheless, 1t seems probable
that in the aggregate a large quantity
of the precious metal can be obtained.
