Five Ignorant Bankers.

A letter was recently received from Il
gentleman in Lowell, Mass, who asked
for some light on the currency question,
saving that tile subject seemed TO be
very little understood in his section Of
the country.
He had called on five Of tho leading
bankers IN Lowell and asked them what
was meant by "the free coinage OF sill
ver."
The first banker said he did not know.
The second said that It's meaning had
not been defined, or, rather, that IL was
not settled Just what 1t did mean.
The third said that If person took
d125 grain of silver TO the mint, II
would be coined into n dollar for him.
Tue fourth said that any person TAX
ing a dollars worth OF silver at the
market price, TO tho mint could have II
made into dollar for him.

To F. L. Hartzell Captain C7lig Base Ball Clubs
MEEKER, Colo, July IL, 1895.

-N-N VI sS-N LIZ LIS
10 F. L. Hartzell, Captain Craig Base Ball Club:
MEEKER, Colo, July IL, 1895.
DEAR SIR:-You people must be suf-
fering from torpid liyers, to take defeat
so hard.
We regret that "the game on the
whole was disappointment" to you. 1t
was not to us,
We are glad 10 learn that "Craig's
wild playing" and not ''Meeller's good
playing" gave the game to your guests.
When Meeker routed the combined
forces of Craig and Steamboat, why not
give us credit for it? Instead you say
steamboat was short of men, so Sweet,
Ranney and Bennett were selected to
fill the vacancies" If the game had
been between Craig and Steamboat las
Craig wished itl, Sweet, RanneY and
Bennett would not have been selected to
fill any vacancies. Your paper makes
it appear that Steamboat had bad luck.
The fact of the matter is, Meeler had
to put in three substitutes during the
game, beating Steamboat with man
in the ''box" who never pitched ball
before in his life.
In regard to Earring and Edwards al
lowing others to eat off their tickets,
they did; but those who ate off them
were bail players, who had left their
own tickets in their other clothes. The
total number of meals eaten was no
more. We thought you wanted us to
eat. Next time we will bring lunch
with us. Please send us bill for the
extra meals and we will remit.
The shot at Earring and Barrett is
entirely out Of place, for they are not
the kind of people to claim more than
their share Oft honorof beating Craig.
They did not charge us cent for their
services, and refused bribe if they
would throw the game. Barrett was
resident of Meeker at the time of the
game; and Craig has no roar coming on
''imported" men. Last Fourth Of July,
you came here with an invincible bat
terry from Golden. This Fourth you
played man, whom you called Smith,
who was once member of the Eastern
League. When you have been beaten
as often as we have you will learn to
take defeat more gracefully.
Yours Very Respectfully.

Manager Meeker Base Ball Club.

There is something in the air, or
water--or something else, that knocks
out the Meeker boys every time they go
TO Craig: that was their experience iast
wear and they had the same experience
this year. Barrett was unwelI all the
time he was there and was so SICK on
tbe morning of the fifth that he was
compelled to retire from the Meeker-
Steamboat game at the end of the first
inning. Saltmarsh was also on the sick
list, and James played on the Fourth
with a badly bruised finger, the result
Of practice the night before. Other
members Of the team were in such poor
form when they lined up on the dla-
mond that good playing was the only
thing that saved them from defeat.

Craig EchoS.

To say that the members of the local
base ball club and their friends were
hot when they read the Craig Courier
last Tuesday evening is inst stating the
case mildly. The chief cause of their
indignation was the following, which
appeared in the last issue of the
Courier:
The Meeker base ball nine is com
posed of gentlemen who know how TO
behave themselves at all times, but like
all good organizations it has its black
sheep. One of these off-celored fellows
is named Edwards. A meal ticket was
given him for his personal use as the
guest of the Craig ball club and he
grossly violated the courtesy. Like
Earring he allowed others to use the
ticket. Edwards would patroniZe one
hotel with the meal ticket and then
hand it to friend who would 90 to the
other house and represent himself as
the party to whom it was issued. the
ticket being good at either place, and
Edwards being a stranger here the ruse
was easily worked"
Whether the Craig base ball club, as
an organization, the editor Of the
Courier, or some irresponsible person
is responsible for the above doesn't mat
ter much. 1t is gratuitous insult to-
all the members of the Meeker base ball
club, and we are very much surprised
that the editor of the Courier should al
low such an unwarranted attack on any
of the Meeker boys to appear in
his columns. Harry Edwards has spent
the summer prospecting in this and
Routt counties, and although he has
only appeared on the local diamond in
few practice games he has been a
member Of our club since he struck
town early in the spring. lie is
neither " off color =" nor endowed
with ungentlemanly traits; and the
same can be said Of Ben Earring,
who, during his short residence here
has made many friends by his gentle
manly bearing. The meal ticket busi-
ness is explained by Mr.. Kelly in his
communication to Mr.. Hartzell, but
even admitting that there was misuse
Of hospitality (which we are convinced
there was not such an accusation comes
with very poor grace from the Craig
club when it is remembered that on the
occasion Of their first visit to Meeker
last summer and when they met with
an accident on their return home,
necessitating a return to Meeker and a
lay over of another day their bills for
the unexpected stay in our town were
generously and without the shadow of
grumble footed by the Meeker boys.
To say the least, the kick in the meal
ticket matter doesn't reflect any credit
on Craig.
The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1895-07-13

Another bad break" by the Craig
people is their reference TO imported"
players. This shot is directed at Bar
rett and Earring, two of our PLAYERS
against whom the Yampa river ball
tossers and their friends seem to hold a
special grudge, and is as uncalled for
as other attacks on members Of the
Meeker club. Our bows did invite Ben
Earring to join the club on the occasion
of their visit to Craig. But why dis
parage him or any other member OF the
Meeker club on the score Of alleged i'm
portation? Hasn't Craig rung in out
side players on us in the last three
games, and don't the people over there
know that we we're "dead onto" their
antics? They were the first to intro
duce outside players and when caught
at their own game, the manly way would
have been to have taken their medicine
and looked pleasant.

Fruits of the Northwest.

The Great Northern railroad has just
issued, in connection with the o. r. &
N. lines, an elaborate special fruit num-
Der of the bulletin which it has been
customary to publish monthly dur
ing the past several years. It is devoted
to the fruit interests of the Pacific North
west, and comprises 30 clearly printed
pages, magazine size. It is published on
fine book paper and embellished with
great many engravings and other illus
trations. In makeup and general ap-
pearance the bulletin is sunexceptionabIe;
in matter it presents grand variety of
valuable and useful information about
the fruit interests of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. Among the illustrations
are a frontispiece of immense Hood
River apples, half natural size (the
weight of the apples being three pounds);
a heavily laden pear tree, seven years
old, and many others of the kind, which
are designed to show the best develop
ment of the fruits of the various sections.
The subject matter of the bulletin covers
every branch of the fruit industry. All
the important fruits-prunes, peaches,
pears, apples, cherries, grapes, berries,
etc.-are discussed at length. Instances
of average growth and of exceptional
productions are given. There are useful
hints in several articles as to the most
approved method OF cultivation. The
question of the markets is discussed.
There is symposium from various prom
inent fruitgrowers on the chance of over
production. Adaptability of certain soils
to certain products is considered. Ex-
amples of methods are given and the
stories of the successes and failures-the
why and how of both-are narrated.
There is dash of scientific information
in the consideration of technical matters
relating to plant life. In short, there is
not topic likely to be OF interest or
value to the inquirer that is overlooked.
The whole makes most complete and
attractive compendium of the horticul-
turaI industry of the West.
