10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
You have lately called attention editorial
ly to what has come to be known as the
Pingree experiment" and have published
much else Of interest concerning the mat
ter. Have not the results of Major Pin
gree's experiment vindicated many of the
claims of the single takers? Has it not
been shown, for instance. that there are
thousands of people ready to put land to
profitable use if they can but have access
to it? Only one-third of the number of
persons who sought permission to work
the land thrown open for cultivation in
Detroit could be accommodated, it is said.
Has it not been shown also that the
great majority of the unemployed poor are
willing to work and aid themselves If given
the opport1nity% Three thousand families
says the Philadelphia Press, applied for
the use of the parcels of land. Think of i! !
Three thousand families in single city
sought the poor privilege of raising few
potatoes and other vegetables on land
owned and held for speculative purposes
merely, a passing philanthropy allowing
the thing TO be done. But is the plan
good one to advocate, after all? Are city
lots best adapted to truck farming? Would
1t not be better to allow the building of
houses on such lots to those who desire to
build them. thus giving employment to
mechanics of all sorts and creating de-
mard for building material, instead of con-
verting carpenters, bricklayers, etc., into
unfair competitors of existing truck farm
ers, vino must transport their products
many miles to the nearest available mar
ket? Can the result of this experiment
demonstrate the "deSirableness of coun-
try life" for the poor. the Philadelphia
Press suggests it can? Surely only the
most superficial observer will see any anal
ogy between life in the country, with it's
limited pursuits for poor man under ex-
isting conditions, and the life of those un-
fortunates, the objects of charity, who
raised potatoes in the city of Detroit last
summer.
Is it seriously conteHded that the crowd
ing into cities from the country is the re-
suit of mere caprice? That agricultural
occupations are really profitable and invit-
ing If the people only knew it? That the
small farmer can successfully compete
with the millionaire agriculturist even
though the former possesses no trans
portation facilities or labor-saving imple-
ments, whilst the latter commands both?
Pingrec's experiment has been a good
thr { in this, that it has satisfied some
doubling persons that the unemployed poor
are willing to work if given the opportun-
race at heart had better see to it that the
opportunity is given); that land is ever in
demand for useful and profitable purposes
and, finally, the scheme preserved LOGO
families from starvation or next door to
it, For these things by all means COM
mend it, But unless the principle, the
truth of which shows dimly through this
experiment, is to be adopted in it's entire
ty don't urge the establishment in the best
governed city in the world of truck farm
ing. F. L. S1DDONS.

Silver Went Up.

The price of bar silver went up a
notch yesterday, the close on the New
York market being CTS cents, as COM
pared with 81 cents on the day be-
fore. Lead remained unchanged.
Speaking of the situation in the sill
yer market during the past week.
Dun's Review has the following:
Dealers in bullion reported the bar
silver market in strong position. and
were surprised that the price did not
record substantial advance. The rea-
son for the firmness without much rise
was the caution exercised by the
agents Of London buyers. who seemed
10 nave large buying orders at about
tations They took wnahaver offered,
but were not disposed to bid up the price.
Tor the sake of making larger contracts
me strength of the market was largely
due to the operations on Saturday and
tuesday, of the short interest referred
to last week, which was created by spec
ulatlYe sales for future ShiDment at the
time of the closing of tn Chinese loan.
Most of this short interest was reported
to have been covered by Wednesdays
shipments of bars. and therefore the mar
ket became feverish and irregular al
though there were but small stocks of
bullion IN sight. The holiday interfered
with the shipment of bars from the west
In London there was a fair demand for
remittance to the eastern markets, but
London's imports continued to exceed it's
exports of silver. So far this year ship
ments to India have been e., 40. $50,
against f3,9S0,715 in 1894; to China f1.175.-
767. against e, 1853; to the Straits, f541,-

splendid proportions The announce
ment was made yesterday that by the
end of the present month the main
west side canal will be completed and
ready for the reception of the stream
of water which is to flow through 1t
and out onto the broad acres of land
which are to be reclaimed. In the
canyon two camps of workmen have
been established and there the exca-
vations are being made for the pipe
line and the foundations for the fun
ing. Several carloads of lumber have
just been delivered near the works and
the carpenters have commenced to get
out the timbers to be used in the con-
struction of the fume and the neces-
sary trestling.
Secretary Rognon has just returned
from the scene of operations and
brings back glowing accounts of the
great work being done by his company
The gang on the construction of the
dam are proceeding with great care in
order that the work may be of the very
best. The storage of water is to COM
mence this fall and by the opening of
the irrigation season next year every
thing should be in readiness for the
carrying out of the full plans of the
company.

During the year ending with July
SO, 1896, the coal for Fort Douglas will
be delivered by the firm of Ellerbeck
& Morris. This is the decision of the
awarding board of this department
and the contract provides for the de-
livery of 100000 pounds of coal. The
competition for this award was very
brisk and practically every coal
agency, including those of the rail-
roads, took a hand in the bidding. The
matter has been held in allegiance for
some time and the announcement has
only just been made to the public.
In the specifications upon which the
bidders were forced to figure before
sending in their propositions there was
a material change from former years,
the standard of coal being Castle Gate
instead of Rock Springs as in the
past. The contract reads that the sue
cessful bidder must furnish Castle
Gate coal or it's equal in every respect,
which really means that the Rio
Grande Western Goals will be given
the preference this year, those of the
Union Pacific having held sway for a
good long time. This reading had the
effect of knocking out some of the
bidders who were not in a position to
furnish Castle Gate coal and did not
care to allow outside parties to fix the
standard of their own, which they
claim are not only the equal of the
other Goals but in some respects the
superior.
