TAXPAYERS of Fremont county
should congratulate themselves on the
economical and business manner in
which the county affairs have been
handled during the last four or five
years. Few counties have a better
record of reduction in debt and tax
levy. In five years the outstanding
debt has been reduced from Sl45, ISL .56
to 5l,7ol.03. Over $4,000 has been
spent in substantial improvements and
with all these expenditures the tax levy

PUEBLO COUNTY has just succeeded
in refunding its entire bonded indebt-
edness, amounting to S350,OOO. The
bonds will run ten or twenty years and
draw 5 per cent interest. In this con-
nection, for sake of the comparison, it
might be well to say that the entire
bonded indebtedness of our own county
(Fremont) is only $1,000.

DIR. Leslie with Us Again.

DR. Leslie has returned. He arrived
early Sunday morning in company with
Sheriff Blythe, who went to Rawlins
Wyoming, last week for the express
purpose of accompanying Mr. Leslie
here. This gentleman is held here on
the charge of getting money under
false pretense from Rev. Chase His
case is peculiar one. 1t seems that
there are no other charges of fraud
against him here and no indication that
he practiced such, though he certainly
has made false pretentions. II devel.
opes that from here DR. Leslie went to
Castle Rock, where he was known by
another name. and at Rawlins he nut
out a sign: 'Dr. Frank ID. Leelyle."
He will be given a hearing at all early
date

A VERY good index to the business
of the country is to take the receipts of
the railroad companies. The Denver

cent for July 1897 over the same month
last year. All the railroads in the
country are making marked increase
and as a consequence railroad stocks

THE LITTLE BROWN HOUSE.

Wee, brown house, with echoiDg hall,
Magic roof and curving wall,
What art thou? Beloved SO well,
Whence has come thy potent spell?
Framed three centuries ago.
AL thy secret would know.
From the Architect Supreme
Came my plan: a starlight CLEAN
Sorrows darkest night to cheer;
Love to man hath sent me here.
whose finds mine inner key
Finds life, joy and liberty.
Wee brown house, SO frail, so strong.
Home of gladness, tears. and song,
Sounding from thy wondrous floors.
Floating through thy oircling doors,
Triumph. sorrow. joy, despair
Why has each its echo there?
Lo! shining hope 1 stand,
Beckoning all with outstretched hand.
Thou may'st find, in bending near,
loves deep secrets vocal here.
Love is lord my walls within
am called a violin.

a ROUsING RATIFICATION.
Virginia Democrats Hear Addresses
From Their Candidates,

Richmond, Va. Sept. S.-The demo-
cratic state ratification meeting. held here
this afternoon was a success in spite of
the fact that exceedingly inauspicious
weather prevailed and the further fact
that the meeting was held in the exposi-
ton grounds auditorium, which is a mile
and half from the heart of the city,
though reached by street cars.
The meeting was under the auspices of
the Powhattan Club of this city. and the
leading speakers were the democratic
nominees for state offices-Hon. ]. Hoge
Tyler of Pulaski, the nominee for COVER
nor; Hon. Edward Echols of stanton.
the nominee for lieutenant governor and
Hon A J. Montague of Danville, the
nominee for attorney general. A good au-
dlence was present, considering the in
clemency of the weather and it proved
a very enthusiastic one, and one very cor
dial to the speakers. Many prominent
democrats from various sections of the
state come into the city to-day to attend
the meeting.
Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson chairman of the
state democratic committee, presided and
introduced in turn Messrs. Tyler, Echols
and Montague.
Mr.. Tyler's speech was full of wit and
ment, he referred 10 the tariff matter said
the Wilson act while possibly not all that
might have been desired, was undoubtedly
working in the interest of the American
farmer and of all producers better than
any other law we have ever had He point
ed out the value Of the exports of cotton
bread stuffs and meats from this COUNTRY
and said it remained to be seen whether
the Dingley bill would aid us or not in
finding a market for these products He
contrasted the republican with the demo-
cratic administration of public affairs to
the disadvantage of the former in the
matter of economy and asserted that the
democratic party Is the party of the people,
and low taxes and plenty of circulating
money. He referred briefly TO the evil of
trusts and combines, and to the necessity
for economy in the administration of state
affairs, and closed with prediction of
victory for the democratic party, state
and national.
Mr.. Echols spoke Of the bright prospects
for democratic success and made partc-
ularly eloquent address.
Mr.. Montague discussed the question of
the free coinage of silver, and his argu-
ment was mastery. lie held that this
country is ready and willing to accept BIZ
metallism by International agreement, but
that it should not wait for the concurrence
of any foreign nation, but should lead in
TIC mattel II 9llOuiu lAOt pSl4lll any
foreign country to dictate to it a policy in
regard to the matter.
Chairman Ellyson, in his remarks intro
ducing Mr.. Tyler as the democratic nomi-
nee for governor, said he CTyleD was the
man of all others to whom the honor of
that nomination should have gone. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Ellyson was
Mr.. Tyler's only opponent for the nomina-
ton.
Messrs. Tyler, Echols and Montague
were entertained at a banquet after the
meeting by Acca Temple of Mystic Shrin-
ers, though neither of them is Shriner
himself.

sound all the way, as 1t was foggy most
Of the time.
This commercial company advertised In
the Chicago papers in connection with the
Great Northern railroad that on arrival at
ST. Michael the passengers would be trans
ferred to steam barges or barges under
tow and taken to Dawson City, in place Of
which we were dumped on the shore and
had 10 put up our tents and live In them
God only knows how long, for we must
build these barges here. We brought the
frame of a river boat $50 feet long and ma
chinery and will have to put 1t together
ourselves. as the company only brought
fourteen carpenters, and the contract they
made us sign on reaching Seattle specifies
that we are TO furnish our labor for put
ting together the boat hauling cargo, get
ting fuel, etc, and we are not TO receive
a dollar for our labor-quite a snap after
we have paid them over $4,000, as IL cost
the 200 Of US 800 apiece for our ticket and
transporting our one-half ton of provis-
ions. This country is one great swamp,
fifty feet from the shore, and you sink TO
the knees In the moss, grass and slush.
We are camped out on the small dry
spots we could find If the whole crowd
ID not down with typhoid fever before the
boat Is finished II will be remarkable. We
are in better luck, hard as it
is than many, as there are two
shiploads camped here now; they
came on about the same proposition as we
did and were dumped on the shore and
the steamers went back, leaving the peo-
pie TO get out Of It the best they can. 1t
looks like an army encamped here to see
hundreds of tents around the bay. Many
of these people have no money togo back
or up the river If they could get there and
the North American Transportation and
Trading Company and the Alaska Com
mercial Company will not take any one
without provisions. 1t is suicide to go up
the river without enough food for a year.
and there is no timber here or any fuel,
as the timber line Is several hundred miles
up the river.
The revenue cutter Bear came In from
the Arctic ocean the other day with the
captain and his wife of some whaler;
they were caught in the ce and lost their
ship. The rest of the crew were carried
off on the ice to the north and the remains
of some were found, evidently killed and
partly eaten by the polar bears. Wood
has filed on a claim for 100 acres of land
here and will engage in the transporta-
ton and trading business next year with
the steamer we chumps are building for
his company. We must work or starve
here. so work we must. They put up
so-called tent. in which we eat and they
even work in the passengers to wait on
the table; all of our plates, cups ETC.. are
tin.
This isn't very clean or plain, as / have.
to write il out on case of meat, and Ii
Is drizzling and raining little There are
lots of Chicago people with us.
