ABOUT DEALING WITH HOME PEG

The GOLD LEAF has time and again
written in advocacy of trading at
home 1t is subject that appears to
be worthy Of discussion in the pulpit
as we'll as the press. The Richmond
State reports Rev. DR.. Heden, of
Grove Avenue Baptist church, in that
city, as having put some good business
doctrine into recent sermon. Ac-
cording to that paper he said:
paul said profoundly, None of US
liveth to himself, and no man dieth to
HIMSELF Your business depends
largely upon the business prosperity
Of your neighbors. Your living is made
here in Richmond, and largely out of
Richmond people. Their success
means your success. Their failure
means short ratiOns for you. Some
people run off to New York and pay
for some article as much as the same
or probably a better article will cost
here at home. Is this wise? My rule
is never to 90 or to send out Of Rich
mond for anything that | can get on
reasonable terms in Richmond. 1t is
plain, common sense, that as my liv-
ing is to come out of Richmond people
then Richmond people must live, and
and if the money which they pay out
is all spent somewhere else. how can
they thrive? Well, but the Lord is TO
keep the city Yes, but it was wise
man who said, Trust God and keep
your powder Iry.'''
This applies to Henderson as we'll
as it does to Richmond. And little
more so, because as the town is smaller,
with fewer industrial enterprises and
less self-supporting, it is all the more
important that we stand by each other
trade with local dealers. As the
National Advertiser aptly remarks,
what DIR. Heden said may have moth
ing to do with the salvation of souls,
but it is good business sense Just the
same

one who carries conviction with what
he says. for he lacks the force of char
acter and readiness of language that
Is required to present his views con-
cisely.
Judge Northup takes the position
that the financial question is the most
important issue that is now before the
people, and honestly believes that
were the United States to go to Sill
yer basis, which he holds is the in
evitable result in case the free coinage
of silver is adopted, it would be most
| disastrous to the debtor class, hazare-
Gus to the laborer, and ruinous to the
| producer. By a statement of the fn-
ancial condition of Mexico, whose sill
yer coins are taken at their bullion
value, he undertook to show that all
the currency and silver coin of this
country would be alike deprecated II
free coinage were adopted, and that
the circulating medium of the country.
instead of being increased. would be
diminished onehalf.
Judge Northup is unquestionable
sincere in his beliefs, is strongly in
favor of maintaining the standard OF
Americas currency and keeping her
money on par with the money of the
world, but he fails to make his position
clear. His speech here was NOS nearly
so able as the one delivered in Port
land. and was in many respects dis
appointing to the sound money advo-

Putting on the Roof.

The Portland Ashhaltum Co., who
have the contract for the roofing on
the A. NJ. Williams building, began
operations this morning. In conver.
sation with Mr.. Sweeney. he said, in
Chicago where he learned his business,
90 per cent of the immense fire proof
buildings in that progressive city are
covered with this kind of roofing.
Taking Horace Greely's advice he
came west, organized the Portland

pleased to have architects, property
owners, agents or contractors to ex-

for themselves.

DIR. ROLAND GRANT EXPLAINS.
He Says His Statements Were Misquoted
in the Oregonian.
PORTLAND, Or, May 1e, 1896.

PORTLAND, Or, May 1e, 1896.
Editor TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
SIR: received copy of your paper
with the criticism of some remark as
having been made by me at a meeting
here last Friday evening. 1t says that
1 said II did not believe in the union
of church and state, but did believe in
the church directing men in the matter
of voting, ETC."
Now, if had said any such thing I
should say your criticism was perfectly
just and fair: and the Oregonian did so
state as to the speech. and when l read
it next morning 1 said to my family
that is too lad, and will be cause for
criticism I said 81 did not believe
in union of church and state, but did
believe in Christian principles being
applied to political questions" 1 no
more believe in Baptist church In
the sense of a great organization, than
l do in Catholic one. Dor believe
in any involving combination of men.
but in the simplist form of men who
desire to do so, being permitted to meet
as they wish to worship God according
to the dictates of their own conscience,
so long as they do not interfere with
that of another. In fact, do not be-
lieve In the ''church" as applying to
any great combination of small bodies
of worshipers, do not care by what
name you call it: it is that very combi
nation that makes the danger, and
would not trust one more than another.
as human nature is the same all
around.
A preacher has an equal right with
other men to offer advice as to great
political questions, and to take sides
/ if he believes it to be his duty, and is
willing to take the personal conse-
quences that are sure to follow. But
it is that combination, called church
or denomination, behind such an in
dividual, that gives him any degree of
authority in ever so little. to command,
or enforce such advice. This 1 hate,
and would hate it if it were Baptisu as
much as if it were Catholic, or Metho-
dist.
1t is not my custom to answer crit
icisms, as it is as fair for some one to
criticise me as for me to do it to others;
and be it known that it is my creed to
be fair to all men. But when l am un
fortunately placed by some report to
seem to endorse a position hate, then
it would be foolish not to reply and
set it right. Sincerely Yours,
ROLAND D GRANT.

THE DALLEs COAL FIELDS.
The Vein Struck in a Well at the Electric
Light Plant.


The Vein Struck in Well at the Electric
Light Plant.
All doubt as to the reality of the ex-
| istence of a coal bed underlying Dalles
City was laid at rest today by the dis
| covery of the vein at the electric light
works at depth of 45 feet. Mr.. P. l..
Kretzer, the gentleman who sunk the
well at the Columbia brewery. in
which the coal vein was first discov-
cred, was engaged by the Electric
Light Co. to sink we'll at their plant,
which is about one-fourth of mile
north of the brewery, struck a coal
vein which is five feet in thickness,
and is of the same quality of coal found
in the brewery well. Overlying the
vein at both places is 12-foot strata
of soap stone, which is said by experts
to indicate the permanency and good
quality of the bed.
This recent discovery proves be-
yond doubt that the coal bed is ex.
tensive, extending at least one-fourth
of a mile from north to south. and the
indications are that it extends far
south beyond where it was struck at
the brewery, since it is nearer the sur
face at the electric light plant, indicat-
ing that it dips toward the south.
The members of the committee of
Commercial club which have taken
this matter in hand, feel much en-
couraged over the recent discovery,
and feel assured that most valuable
find has been made. The funds neces-
sary for developing the prospect are
assured, and they are now engaged in
securing mineral leases of the ground
underneath which the bed lies.
When all the pre1iminaries are COM
pleted they will commence develop
ment work, and ere another three
months shall elapse, the fact will be
practically demonstrated that The
Oalles has genuine coal mine of ex-
tensive proportions. Just when de-
velopment work will begin is yet un-
certain, since the committee are con-
sidering the advisability of drilling
down at some point south of the brew
cry, where hosting works can be more
conveniently erected, before begin
ing sinking shaft. but that the
prospect will be developed at an early
date is now a certainty.

Last Saturday Judge Bennett closed
his campaign in Eastern Oregon with
a three hours speech at the town of
Dufur. A large audience greeted him,
the hsll in which he spoke being filled
to its fullest capacity, and those who
heard his speach, say it was among
the ablest efforts they ever listened to.
His argument was confined principally
to the. financial issue and the tariff,
and it was conceded by all that they
never heard these questions as clearly
defined as they were by him on that
occasion.

+ Coxey is full of isms and theories,
and has plan for revolutionizing the

present financial ills he attributes to
contraction of the currency brought
about by the adoption of single stand
ard, hence he is an advocate of the
free coinage of silver. But this alone,
he thinks, would afford only temporary
relief, and he proposes the issuance of

would have the nation start its print
