bonds will not 90 until June l and
will not be signed or anything done
to make them negotiable until they
arrive at the pawn shop, so they
might as we'll have been sent over by
schooner in boot box, so far as
danger Of loss to anyone was con-
cerned. By the way, you will notice
that gold will be rather plenty in New
York for awhile now. This will be
part of the scheme to knock out
silver.
The payment of the money due the
Nez Perez Indians would help out a
good deal just now. Six hundred
thousand dollars is a small amount
to eastern money circles, but out in
this section it would be noticed. By
some hitch in the crcumlocution de-
partment Of the treasury the payment
has been deferred indefinitely. 1t is
remarkable low every little dollar
destined to 90 to the west is begrudged
with painful intensity by all depart
ments of the government. The
smallest appropriation is smothered
with food of technicalities and de-
layed with an ocean of hindranccs.
Had this been matter of So, 900, 900
for some New England harbor, river
or other scheme, it would move along
on creased wheels without the small
est pebble IN its pathway.
Russia has taken full charge of
japanese and Chinese matters and it
would not be surprising if they would
finally ask Japan to pay them in
demnity 1t is one of the most
insulting instances of national inter
ference in the annals of modern his
tory, and more than Russia must be
concerned in it.
When the trusts and combines start
in they mean business AS an in
stance, wire nails went up twenty per
cent in two days and will go higher.
All the reason for it is combination
on the part of manufacturers. Tariff
and trusts are powerful helps, but
any of you people who buy nail
will help pay the fiddler BY the
way, in this same connection, the
coffin factories, some two hundred
enough to scare man, amt IT'D in
number, have formed combination,
and they are sure of dead thing in
the end. Collins will go down, as
usual, but prices will go up, and no
guarantee as to the direction the
occupants will travel ultimately.
Out this far west we lose sight of
many improvements going ahead in
better populated and advanced com
munities. For instance, statistics
show about $50 electric railways in
the United States, with 5000 miles of
track and capital of $400, 900, 600
Why is not this the proper scheme
for our north road? There are good
water powers every five miles on the
proposed route from here to Salmon
river. Why not arrange for an cleo
trio road at once.
1t never rains but it pours, and
now in addition to our regular dose
of administration crow and incidental
domestic Affections comes the crown
ing one of all in the form of foreign
immigration. On the | tn inst. 1000
landed in New York and on the 13t h
1000 more, and official records indi-
cate that the total for the week would
exceed Is, 900. Talk about Coxey-
ites It's worse than pestilencel But
we must make the best of it and look
ahead to the millions that are sure to
follow And here we may remark
that in 1916 Senator Winthrop, of
Massachusetts, from his place in the
senate said that this country would
not be crowded for elbow room in
thousand years. He was making a
speech at that time in favor of trad
ing Oregon territory to England for
New Foundland and a few cod fish to
boot. Oregon then meant what is
now Oregon, Idaho, Washington and
most of Montana. This country is
all to be filed up, and before long.
Now is the time to adopt irrigation
measures that will stand the test of
