This Time uCuied,


This Time Denied,
For the past five years no season has
passed without the report becoming cur
rent that the Great Falls and Canada
railroad was about to commence work
on the widening Of their roadbed and
that it would be Transformed into IL
standard guagc road The oconsummation
OF such project is thing go much
hoped for and so evident an advantage
to Great Falls that it is probable that
the wish is father 10 the thought in the
case of the rumors referred to. Ever
since the location of the port Of entry at
Great Falls, more or less talk of this
kind has been in circulation, and state
ments without authority have been made
which can only do harm. Some weeks
ago IHE tribune reporter had an inter
view with General Manager Barclay
concerning statements Of this character
tuen III circulation, and learned posi-
lively that they were without founda-
ton. 1t is true that standard guage ties
are being used all along the line of the
road to replace old ones as they are
needed, and permanent improvements
Hs they are made are undoubtedly be
ing made With due consideration Of the
fact that it has been the history of all
narrow gauge roads, that the time Will
come when they must change TO stand

can be truthfully said at present. Tues

First fix i'll your mind that 100 per
cent is all there is of anything, and
therefore nothing can ever decline in
valuo more than 100 per cent, though it
can advance any nnlnbcr Of thousands.
Above 100 the premium is exactly in
the same figures rs the per cent, but be-
low 100 the corresponding discount is
only the difference between 100 and
the minor sum to which that per cent
must be added to bring it up TO 100.
Thus, whcn gold was at GO premium,
paper was at 31la discount, because Il
paper dollar was worth but G2H cents
that is, it tool; this q cents worth
of paper and 60 per cent more of G2la
ccnts--that is, 37ie cents TO buy a
gold dollar. If gold were 1000 per cent
premium paper would be within mi
mute fraction Of 81 per cent discount.
