IIarcourt Replies To the BIZ Metailists.

London, July Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, ex-cha ncellor Of the exchequer.
has written a letter IN reply 10 the me-
mortal Of the Bi-nletalHc League. in
which he says. II do not share in the
opinion expressed In your memorial. hut
this is not fitting time 20 enter into
an argument on the subject. I only ven-
ture upon one observation. The memo
rial refers TO the depreciation Of prop
erty and depression of industry. particu-
larly agriculture. and attributes all the
evils to the action of France in abandon
ing the bi-metallic system, which, while
IL existed you considered secured 10 the
rest OF the world the advantages which
YOU believed flowed from that system.
You do not however. advert 10 the fact
that depreciation and depression Of far
more serious character occurred during
the period when. you maintain the BIZ
metallic system was in practical opera
tion. For instance. the thirty years
from 1915 70 is45. when the evils TO which
your memorial refers existed In far more
aggravated form than now. II you COM
pare the conditions OF the people of your
town or agricultural district OF that
epoch with their conditions now. YOU
will find that wages and employment Of
the working classes contrast most unfa-
vorably during your bi-metsllic elysium.
with their situation In these mono-metal-
lie days which you deplore.''

Especial to The Herald.j

BOISE, Ida, Sept. 5.-A number Of fsrg-
ed checks have been received by the
First National Bank of this city, signed
j. p. Wilson. the name of a prominent
Boise Valley stock man. Most of them
came from Elko. New: one for 5000 direct
from a merchant a EIko named Watson:
another for 800 through an Ogden bank,
and others for smaller sums. But for
the fact that Wilson's name was spelled
wrong, the checks would have been
cashed. The same forger hired a man
and his family living about 80 miles from
here to take charge of a ranch in the
southeastern portion of the srarA- giving
item a check for $500 on the First Ma
tional Bank for the purpose of buying
supplies here. It is said he told the far
mer he wanted a little money. and the
farmer gave him 500. all the money he
had. that sum being included in the $500
check The tarHcr came to Boise and. to
his horror, found he could secure no
money on the check and had to be as
sisted to get back TO his ranch. Officers
are after the forger. 1t is believed his
victims are numbered by the score.

SPIRIT OF ECONOMY.
HOW MINNEsOTA's STATE TREAS
URER WORKED THE ACT.
Made the Express Company Carry
100000 in Bonds For 75c.,
When the Register Charge For
That Sum is 500.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A special to a
local paper from Washington, D. c.,
says:
The register of the treasury received
a package through the United States
Express company addressed to the
..Hon. Register of the United States
Treasury, Washington, D. c." In the
upper right hand corner of the enve-
lope containing the package was writ
ten Bonds. Value, one thousand dol
lars In the upper left hand corner,
appeared the following: Return in
ten days to August T. Koerner, Treas
urer, ST. Paul, Mimi
Diagonally across the envelope was
written in lead pencil: Charges 10
cents The register was astonished
when he opened the package, to find
that Mr.. Koerner had enclosed bonds
to the value of 100000 By marking
the package value one thousand dol
lars" he secured their transmission to
Washington for 70 cents, whereas if
he had put the true value on the pack
age, the charge would have been $780,
The register Immediately reported the
matter to the agents of the United
States Express company, and it is
likely that officials of she company
will call upon the state of Minnesota
to make good the difference between
the amount charged and the value for
100000. Should the state officials re-
fuse to pay this difference, it is proba-
BILE that they will have a great deal
of trouble in sending money by express
in future. Mr.. Koerner is state treas
urer of Minnesota and is supposed to
have been actuated by spirit of
economy.
