ETUSEDTOGOLD
Present Regarded as a Good Time
to Establish That Standard
in India.
Notice Given by the Secretary OF
State That Exchange Is
Suspended.
Government Has Little Money to
Draw Upon Because OF
Slow Taxes.

LONDON, Sept. 2.--The following
notice was posted on the Bank Of Eng
land:
1.-THE secretary of state for India. in
council, gives notice that the sale OF
bills of exchange on Calcutta, Bombay
and Madras has been suspended for a
a period of not less than 10 weeks"
The government has very little money
in India to draw on owing to the fam
inc and the plague having rendered the
collection of taxes slow. The present
time may be opportune to accustom the
Indians to the use of gold instead OF
silver, though it would not have been
attempted had not the scarcity OF
money arisen.
The Daily telegraph, anticipating thu
action Of the Indian council, says:
The council may refuse to draw alto
gether, thus sending exchange up to the
! gold point, and render possible the es
tablishment of the gold standard IL

ate today. buI Sougnanour came to the
rescue with a proposition to take advan-
tage Of section 21I7 Of the revised stat
utes, which classifes the counties accord
ing to assessed valuation. The trouble
has been that a reduction of fees is like
~ to prove disadvantageous to small
counties, and Coughanour proposes to re-
lisve the embarrassment on this point by
giving the commissioners of third. fourth
and nth class counties power to increase
the rates provided In the bill. The mat
ter was finally put over to Friday to give
the members time to look into the Cough
amour plan.
The senate passed four bills and the
Joint resolution directing the land board
to withdraw the application Of es,ooO acres
of land in the Blackf0ot land district. A
motion to suspend the rules to pass the
bill making an appropriation for entry OF

rise to a lively debate. In which BALKAN

exempt farmers bitches from taxation;
by Harris, reducing salaries Of state Ofii-

Chairman Butler expressed the opinion
today that the populist party Is commit.

that question Il finally disposed OF. and
then he thinks It will be time enough
to take up other issues.

REMOVE A THORN IN THE SIDE.
o. n. a v. Opposition 60 Rates Can
he Overcome,

The announcement made that rezotia-
tons were In progress to buy the German
holdings Of per cent mortgage bonds of
the o. r. q N. created n stir among the
local railroad fraternity.
II has long been the ardent desire NJ the
Great Northern and tho Northern Pacific
to obtain control Of this promising prop
erty. and the fact that a syndicate IL pre-
pairing to get control Of large portion Of
the mortgage bonds Is taken to indicate
that eventually the o. r. 4 N. will pass
into other hands. II Is not the FIRST time
this attempt has been made. Five years
ago the Union Pacific made a proposition
to the Northern Pacific that the two
roads should acquire control OF the CO.
lumbia river highway and operate II
Jointly. The Northern Pacific could then
see no advantage in such an arrangement
and the deal fell through. II has not bssn
more than a year since the Great North
ern made traffic arrangement with the
o r. q ~, and since then there has been
an Interchange Of passengers and freight.
Had Il been possible. Jim HilI would have
purchased the o. Il. q N. and had a line
through to Portland.
According TO men posted on Northern
Pacific affairs, a move Of this sort has
been in contemplation by the bondholderu
for some time. The stock has risen stead.
lily ever since the first OF the year. De.
cember Il. 1906, Northern Pacific preferred
sold at s2A; yesterday the same stock sold
for TN.
Control Of the o. r. & N. can easily be
had. the New York syndicate cIaims
when the holdings Of the German capital
