Every pound of freight for this
county and our great intermediate

only avenue which nature has pro-
vided. No extraordinary effort or
outlay is required, aud the way is
bordered with present and many
more possible sources of revenue. 1t

GOLDEN RIVER.

Last first Gay Wciser man and
an old friend being deprived of the
usual means Of keeping the day, be-
came for the time being apostates
and visited the shrine of the golden
god. This particular locality was on
Snake river, where certain worthy
devotees have located and are oper-
ating plant for saving the fine
gold from the banks of the golden
river, and the short time passed in
investigation, together with the in
formation kindly given, demon
stratcd to certainty that this indus
try is no longer an experiment but
that good, honest paying results are
being obtained The machinery in
nse was very simple, but effective,
and the positive evidence was the
actual presence of the aristocratic
and only standard metal itself and
In satisfactory quantities And as
it is known fact that Snake river
flows literally over golden sands, and
that its bars and banks are as liter
ally permeated with fine gold, it is
only question Of saving it and the
process alluded to above indicates
this has been accomplished. The
area that is open for action is un
limited and offers new means of
livelihood for an unlimited number
OF men, and ut better wages than the
average industry to which might he
added the worth Of individual indie
pendence, and wages paid every
night, and would relieve the pres
ent crowded labor field and advance
the reward Of toilers in all other
lines. The reason probably why
those in this immediate vicinity Of
this deposit OF wealth have not given
it more attention, is that heretofore
the results have not warranted the
effort, and then we all know that the
man in the mill never hears the
noise. An act should be passed
changing the name of Snake to that
OF Golden river, for no other river is
as justly entitled to the name.

INDEPENDENT
America the Key to the Worlds
Monetary Situation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-In speak
ing of the present situation of the New
York money market, Mr.. Coffin, the
acting comptroller of the currency, to-
day said: IF any one doubts the
financial independence Of the United
States, he should study the quotations
showing current rates of interest on
loans in New York, London and other
places. 1t will be found that the rate
for demand loans yesterday in New
York, per cent, was as low as in any
European city and lower than London,
Berlin, Hamburg and Amsterdam. In
these centers rates ranged from 2h
to Az per cent This fully accounts for
the non-import of gold by the United
States, although our heavy exports of
cotton corn and wheat have establish
ed large balance of trade In our
favor. This is all the more remark
able while such large amounts OF
money are needed for moving our great
crops, and there is 1927, 100000 of money
withdrawn from circulation because
locked up in the treasury balance. This
condition demonstrates beyond ques-
ton there is no lack OF the circulating
medium In this country, but perhaps
the most valuable lesson it presents is
that international trade balances can
be settled without the use of gold or
other metallic money, simply through
extension of credit by adjustment of
interest rates, provided always there Is
no question as to a single standard Of
values on which these credits are bas-
ed -

Mr.. HESING DEHD.
One OF the Notable Figures of Chi
cago Suddenly Removed.

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Washington
Hesing, proprietor of the Illinois Stats
Zeitung, one Of the leading German
papers of the Northwest, and postmas-
ter of Chicago during the last term of
President Cleveland, died suddenly this
afternoon of heart disease, at his home,
Michigan avenue. Mr.. Hesing had been
Ill for several days with a severe cold,
but was rapidly recovering, and his
death was a heavy shock to his family
and friends. During the afternoon he
was down town and attended to several
business matters returning to his resi-
dence shortly after o'clock. Mrs.
Hesing at the time was out shopping,
and the last person who spoke to Mr..
Hesing was a servant girl whom he
met in the hallway on the way to his
room. A few minutes after 4 the girl
went to Mr.. Hesing's room on an er-
rand, and when she entered he was
half sitting, half reclining on sofa,
with his head supported by his hand.
He was breathing heavily, but there
was nothing unusual in his appearance,
and the girl, supposing him to be
asleep, went out as softly as possible
in order to avoid rousing MIN. From
that time until o'clock, when Mrs.
Hesing returned, he was alone in the
room. His wife noticed at once upon
entering the room that he was very
i'll, and quickly summoned assistance,
but by the time medical aid was at
hand Mr. Hesing was dead. The ply
sicians declared that he had died of
heart disease and said that In all prob
ability they could not have saved him
had they reached him before life was
extinct.
