w. II. Dodge, the mine owner,
was over to st. Charles this week
investigating his property there.
He is highly pleased over the new
strike recently made in the Black
stone and as a result another man
was put to work, to be followed
later by large force. A new mill
is in contemplation, though it will
not be put in this year owing to
the lateness of the season. Devel-
opment work will be pushed till
next spring, when, if indications
still point as they do now, a reduc-
tion plant will be built. The
property at present shows a fine,
large body Of galena, which run s
we'll in silver. Mr.. Knapp who
has been working there steadily, is
MISUNDERSTANDING showing
and predicts the mine viii be- a
great producer by next year.

M. F. Whitman favored ua I'll nm
able lectufe on questions psaihing to
free silver He explained alsd aeaning
of free silver. The speakeT pfoceeded
to show/that the ratio of 16 tel in the
past proved to be law, laid down by
natpfe The discovery Of rich gold
p6nes in Cripple Greek, Mercur and
diamond mines in Utah, the great gold
fields in Afro and South America will
rather tend to change the ratio in favor
of silver and for this reason alone vel
need not be afraid to indorse free silver.
The fact that the great manufacturing
companies in England transplant their
establishments to Japan and China,
where wages run from to % cents a
day and the silver crisis ia adopted,
prove that protective tariff alone is no
protection Free silver will remedy the
equality and give the American labor
er chance to earn honest wages. So
let us fight for free silver first, and work
for protection afterwards, if We cannot
have both at the same time.
The question, can a republican con-
scientuously vote for a democratic free
silver president, if he believes free ell
yer will better the existing conditions,
was answered by Mr.. Whitman with a
decisive and patriotic warmth, he said:
Ever since the Mayfower struck
American soil our families have stood
with the principles of republicanism.
I have always done so and shall do SO
in the future, but republican has
broader field than to cling to party Lines
when questions, involving the national
welfare are put before US for decision
l believe in free silver and shall vote
for free silver pnaant, l respect
and honor our untsejn8 champion for
free silver. | am pread "a So Fred T.

When the rich sound
money! people of the east
want help to stem the tide of
free silver, they always APP
peal to clearing houses,
boards of trade, ETC., but not
in a single instance, have
they asked the cooperation
of labor assemblies and farm
ers. OF course they would
not get it anyway, but it
shows that they don't con-
slider the producers and wage
earners worthy of notice.
What a surprise is in store for
these money kings on Novem-

We have heard it remarked
lately that Bear Lake, being
I'm agricultural section, ought
to have a county fair. If any
assurances could be had that
the farmers would take inter-
est in the matter, Montpelier
would undertake to get one
up. It is the only place in
the county that can handle
such an undertaking, and we
are sure our citizens would
take hold of the matter.
That it would be a grand sue
cess goes without saying and
some steps-eeght TO be taken
in the matter.

Yesterday.

!; The necessity of more complete in
spection of sidewalks in this City, and the
more rigid enforcement OF the laws relat-
ing to them has led the Street: Com mittee
of the Board of Supervisors to waste no:
time in appointing successor to j ohm w.

of late regarding violations Of the sidewalk

objected to the manner in which the side
walks have been fenced in where; new
buildings were being. constructed, and to
the numerous obstructions in the way of
merchandise and empty packing-cases
that have been allowed to-: block up the
sidewalks in: the business portion of the

l*of the salary of $100 month, fixed by the
committee, IS. expected; as: the Superin-
tendent and the new appointee are not on
the best of terms, and the former has al
ways contended that the Supervi sors have
no right to make: such an appointment,
because the salary comes out of the Street
Department funds, and no special provi-
sion has been made for it. Should the
Superintendent refuse to sign Elders SAL
ary demands the next tax levy will prob
ably contain q provision for the office.

a will, and besides that, he said the bonds
had been purchased by Spence without his
knowledge, as they had agreed to manage
separate parts of the estate.
Judge Coffey said the trustees should
have acted together, and he held Berming-
ham liable for the money. In doing so he
said:
The theory of counsel is that trustees can
do what they please with trust property-sive
the children what they like, and it concerns
nobody. 1t is.dangerous doctrine, surely, but
it is not true doctrine in equity or law. There
is nothing IN the will that absolves the trus-
tees from liability from loss through improper
investments or relieves them from using good
judgment and sound discretion in the per-
Torrance of their trust. In making invest
ments they are required to obey the law. and
they will not be permitted to say they are
above the law. The court would be derelict in
its duty if ii undertook 10 force him TO accept

left him. ~
