1t is understood that some dissatisfac-
ton is being expressed by the commits
sary department of the construction
camps now at work on the Colorado and
Northwestern railway to Ward relative
to rates on supplies at this point. 1t is
even suggested that unless some con-
cessions are made, all trading will be
done in Denver. Boulder merchants
know their own interests best perhaps,
but it seems very regrettable to lose the
immense amount of trading that will re-
suit from the maintenance of Boulder as
a supply center for those camps when
concessions can be made without any
real loss.

Tho c'ton crop in Washington coun-
ty is looking especially well. There is
no doubt but that the cotton along tho
banks Of Deer creek is tho best seen for
years at this season. There are worms,
however, reported in some localities.
There is some doubt expressed as to
whether the worms are the regular
army worms or tho grass worms, but
damage is being done, whatever name
may be applied to the pests. Orders
for paris green are being received in
Grccnville daily, and il serious damage
by tho worms is prevented the chances
are that Washington county will make
as good a crop of cotton as has been pro-
duccd in several years, notwithstaud-
ing the overflow. u 1t tho worms are a
regular nightmare to the planters. The
corn crop promises better now than two
weeks ago.

OF the mind. y


THE declaration that all nations
will go to the gold standard" said Mr..
Stewart, 'is declaration that they
are prepared to return to barbarism.
1t is estimated that there are about
four billions of silver dollars doing
duty as money. II all this silver coin
is to be discarded and the vacuum filed
with gold, it will take many genera
tions before the amount of metallic
money of the world will equal the gold
and silver now doing duty as money.
If all nations adopt the gold standard,
humanity must wait for relief until the
silver to be discarded shall have been
replaced by gold from the mines and
enough additional added to keep pace
with population and business.
"Mr. Preston says that the amount
of gold produced in the world this year
will be S240, 200, COO. If this were true,
it would not alter the case. There
never has been any one year in the
worlds history when $40 600, 900 of
gold was produced. About Sl60, 600, 600
was the maximum in the palmy days
of California and Australia, the like of
which we probably shall never see
again. But suppose that S240, 200, 900 II
year of gold could be produced, more
than half of that will be consumed in
arts. If a hundred millions of new
gold could go into circulation it would
be n condition unparalleled in the
history of the world, and result
entirely improbable. A hundred mil
lions year would take 40 years TO sup
ply the place of the silver coin now do
ing duty, which the director of the
mint says is to be Immediately dis
carded.'
Mr. Stewart believed that the inti-
nation of Director Preston that Mexico
can not pay the interest on her foreign
debt while she maintains free coinage
is an intimation that Mexico can not
pay that interest at all.
Mexico said Mr.. Stewart, pays
the interest on her foreign debts with
her productions. Her productions are
stimulated by free silver, and her min
erals, her sugar, her tobacco and her
coffee will buy as much gold
to pay interest on her foreign debt
rs if she were on gold basis. On the
silver basis she can produce, but on the
gold basis she could not produce
enough and would retrograde into
barbarism and repudiate her foreign
debt"
Mr.. Stewart expresses his opinion of
Mr., Preston in the following charac-
teristically vigorous style:
IL pronounce any man in the employ
of the United States who will pro-
claim that silver is to be entirely de-
stroyed, Notwithstanding the plat
form of the republican party that it
should be restored by information
al bimetallism Notwithstanding the
fact that this country depends upon
it-recreant to his duty and an enemy
of his country. What reliance can be
placed on the statistics of a man who
can talk as Mr. Preston does in his in
terview? A man who will talk such
heresy as he does against the profess
sions of all parties in this country can
not be relied upon to state facts with
regard to the production of either
metal, and fear that he is as ignorant
of this as he is of propriety in a public
officer"

DOMINION REGULATIONS.
Administration OF the Government of the
Yukon Valley Gold Fields.

TORONTO, Oat., Aug. 10.-A special to
the Globe from Ottawa says that the
Dominion government has reached sew
eral important decisions in regard to
the Yukon country, and the working OF
the gold fields there.
1t has been decided to toappoint an ad-
ministrator for the district, who will
have entire charge of all the Canadian
officials there and be the chief eXecu-
tive officer of the government, Maj.
Walshc, former commander OF the
North vest mounted police, is to be APP
pointed to the position. The party of
mounted polio, to leave Manitoba
next week for the gold country has
been increased from 90 to 81. They
will take with them two Maxim guns.
The mining regulations have been
amended in an important particular.
AT present a miner is at liberty to
stake out claim of 800 feet running
along with the stream and back to the
bank. This has been reduced to 100
feet, and the new regulation will so
into force Immediately.
A court for the administration of
civil and criminal justice for the gold
district has also been decided upon.
Justice McGuire, of Prince Albert, is to
preside over the court.

house.
The town of Oroo is the headquar-
ters of the smugglers. Freighters
from the states bringing in produce
come up the trail to Krugers. pay duty
on stuff they have in their wagons, and
then follow the road down across the
line to Oroo. Here they pick up big
quantities of all sorts of groceries,
principally tobacco an canned goods,
and follow the road into Canada again,
to which they gaia access without diff
ticulty. us all the goods have presum-
ably paid duty at krugers, farther back
