The easterner, bred and born at sea
level, has q very vague idea of that part
of his country which is mt a cloud

tion of the governing climate Of such a
section. The purely picturesque appeals
to tho tourist, and he gives hardly a
thought, surely not ii serious one, to the
high altitude section through which he
passes.
The Adirondacks have accomplished
wonderful temporary healings and per
manent cures for certain pulmonary
troubles, yet their beneficial results do
not compare in extent with those OF that
section which lies ut an altitude vary
ing from $500 to 5000 feet above the
sea, known as the high and dry Rocky
Mountain belt, whose heart is Colorado.
From a statistical comparative wealth

formed of this climate, for in these COM

condition of the air is not fully appre-
ciated. The dominant feature of this
high altitude is light, dry and electrical

and clear weather. This is true of all

and rises to 60 degrees in the shade the

although q blanket is always a nightly
necessity, the thermometer often regis
tiers 80 degrees during the day and the
heat Of the sun is always intense. These
extremes are much less keenly felt than
they would be at sea level, owing to the

The certainty OF another bond issue
seems assured from the rapid depletion

serve limit and the refusal OF the bond
syndicate TO maintain the reserve by
further deposits. Not only has the syn
dlcate refused to protect h reserve. as
agreed upon. uu to the first of October,
but members Of the syndicate have
themselves heavily drawn IN the treas
ury for gold to export and the dlstrust
in financial circles has given rise to al
most a panic. II the syndicate does not
come to the rescue another Issue OF NIFTY
or a hundred millions of bonds is newt
able. TIE United States owes heavy
obligations in Europe, the balances
amounting 20 $25O,OOO 900, the balance
Of trade is against US very heavily owing
to our largely increased imports and les
sened exports under the Wilson trritf,
the sharp shrinkage in the price OF agri-
cultural products and no demand
abroad for our cotton. Thus our rev.
enues fail to meet expenses and the
drain on the treasury is continued. The
government must borrow under such
conditions or ruin it's credit. 1t Is to be
hoped that when another bond issue 10
made it will be open to public bids in
small quantities and not as a whole to a
syndicate to suck the life blood out OF
the nation. The ommon people ought

he is willing to accept the appointment,
provided there can be no doubt of his
confirmation by the senate. 1t is well
