1892 he was a candidate for United
States Senator but the fight resulted
in deadlock and the governor after
the adjournment of the legislature ap-
pointed another man to the place. Be-
fore the late legislature he again be-
came a candidate and was successful.
The same evening he received tele
gram telling him of great strike in
the LIE Roy mine, 5000 shares of the
stock of which was stored away among
his old papers. 1t is now worth about
S350000. He returned to his home at
Spokane, and while attending a recep-
ton given in his honor by his enthu-
siastic friends received another tele-
gram informing him of strike in
property at Trail creek, of which he
owned the major portion, but which
had been condemned as foolish in
vestment. 1t is said to be likely to
soon make him a millionaire. All of
this good fortune came to him inside of
a week. Now if anyone can draw a
good and sufficient moral from these
facts, to help his fellow man, they are
at his disposal. The old fairy stories
need polishing to come up to some of
the things that happen in the West.
Persons having mildewed wads of old
mining stock that are an affiiction
to the spirit to contemplate, may take
heart and enjoy the inexpensive pleas
ure of imagining how they would feel
in Turner's place.

The beautiful green, covering our
mountain sides and flecked with the
bright colors of lovely flowers, wore
over their bright garments drapery
of snow yesterday morning, and while
we were rustling chunks of wood to
build fire, the fellow who came in
and quoted that sentimental line
"What is so rare, as a day in JuneY'
while he was shaking snow off his hat
and macintosh may consider himself
in great good luck that he was not
pitched out into the storm. 1t is pref
ty tough to have to sit AL see the
snow falling at this time of the year,
but we can do so with complacency in
our cool and charming summer resort,
when we think of sweltering humanity
suffering elsewhere with too much heat.

Ola Min ng Camps.

While on our recent trip to northern
Elko county, Nevada, a visit was made
to some of the mining camps which
were in the height of their glory quar-
ter af century ago and have since
been almost idle. They all reminded
us very much of the appearance of Sill
yer City as it appeared in 1888, only
that the camps had never been devel-
oped to the same extent that Silver
City had pIior to the closing down of
the mines.
Mountain City,onc fiourishing camp
still stands in fairly well preserved
condition, with the buildings old but

mill standing with its old fashioned
machinery still in place and in fine
shape. 1t is still a camp with some
work and prospecting being done on
the mines and hopes still entertained
that, like Silver City, a revival is in
store for the camp in the not very dis
tant future. But grass is growing over

HIGH PRICES.
Their Relation to General Prosperity
-RepubIican Contradictions.

Their Relation to General Prosperity
-RepubIican Contradictions.
During the campaign last year it was
customary for the shouters for the gold
standard generally to depict in glowing
words to the laboring men the evils that
would result from high prices. They
usually admitted that the free coinage
of silver would result in a marked in
crease in the price of all farm products,
and in fact of all kinds of labor, but
they assured the laborer that this would
only make his condition worse. They
exhausted the English language to
show that what we wanted was good
money!" that is, money which would
purchase the largest amount of labor's
products. They commended with great
force that under free coinage the Ia
borer must pay twice as much for what
he eats; therefore his condition would
be great deal worse.
Providence has taken hand in the
matter, and by calamitous famine in
other countries the price of wheat and
other products have been greatly in
creased. Do we hear these shouters
sympathizing with the laboring man on
account of the increased cost of his
living? Not much! They are pointing
one and all to the high prices as an evil
dence of prosperity. Bimetallists have
always contended that the nation would
be prosperous when sufficient amount
of money was in circulation and when
the farmer received good price for his
crops. Under bimetallism, other condi-
tions being normal, the producer should
receive nearly, if not quite, twice as
much for the product of his labor as he
does under the single standard. The
cost of living would be increased, but
the increased amount of money in cir
culation would increase business and
enterprises of all kinds to such an ex-
tent that labor would be fully employed.
The purchasing power of the laborer
and producer would be greatly in
creased and prosperity would be gen
eral among all classes. Whatever pros
perity is brought to the people by the
increase in prices will simply go to
prove the correctness of the position
taken by bimetallists and the fallacy of
the single ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS indie
pendent. II

Mr.. Davis Instructive FiEuFes-Im>
pending Deficiency of Brendstuffs.
In the Forum has appeared an i'm
portant article entitled: 1.-THE Impend.
ing Deficiency of Breadstuffs" We do
not care much for Mr.. Davis conclu-
sions. 1t would be difficult really to get
ones self into panic over any coming
deficiency when we remember the vast
areas that might easily be turned into
the cultivation of grains. A rise in
price, a sure market are all that would
be required to bring about a great in
crease in the production of cereals.
But Mr.. Davis has produced some fig
ures which are instructive. He shows
that the population has increased in Is
years about 81 per cent, while the acre
age of wheat has increased only about
25 per cent. It has not kept up with the
increase of the population. He shows
also that other breadstuffs have in
creased even less than wheat
What becomes, then, of the talk about
over-production as the cause of the de-
cline in the price of wheat and other
food products?
The Outlook in pointing out the sig
nificance of the statistics calls attention
to the fact that the amount of grain to
the acre has remained about the same,
and that the total export of breadstuffs
from India and other Asiatie countries
IS barely the product of 100000 acres.
This leaves absolutely no solid ground
upon which the over-produetion argu-
ment can stand. The fall of prices
simply measures the EXCHANGED value
of gold.--Western Rural.

gent had to look on in gloomy silence
while their eleven champions drove
away to do battle without the help OF
their lusty cheers.
When he went home on Friday night
Stubby Fields was as gloomy as any of
his mates, though he was not included
in their punishment. He would have
given anything, at the very least his
prospect of new winter suit, to see
the game with Wilton. But he knew
that he was expected to help with the
potato digging on the following day, so
he resoiutely choked down his wishes
and the tears they brought with them,
and said nothing about it. It seemed
to him as though some good angel had
interfered in his behalf when his father
said, after supper:
Il sold a cow in Wilton to-day, and
somebody will have to lead her down
there tomorrow morning. Ifyou want
to you can do it, Edward" (Stubby
had been baptized as Edward, though
he sometimes forgot that fact himself)
1T will take up most of the day, and
If you can manage to see that football
game, too, you might as well do it,
Before daylight Stubby was on his
way, accompanied by a fat red cow
that refused to go more than three
miles an hour in spite of the boys ur-
gent applications of the end of his lead
ing rope He had hoped to reach the
town before his schoolmates, but he
was unfortunate, for just as he was
turning down a side street and rejoic-
ing at his escape, a coach swept past
with all the Cascade football team on
top. Stubby turned away his head, but
not in time to avoid recognition. There
was a chorus of "Hellos!" and then
some jeering remarks addressed joint
ly to Stubby and his four-footed com
panion. Capt. Phil quickly silenced
the testers, and the coach ratified on;
but the sting of the bantering words
remained behind, and Stubby's cheeks
were still burning with shame and
anger when he turned out of the yard
where he had finally got rid of the
cow.
His first impulse was to turn back
without waiting to see the game: but
his loyalty to Cascade soon banished
this feeling, and he made up his mind
that the team should have one man to
cheer for them as long as his breath
held out.
The game was an exciting one, and
Stubby was never in his seat except
when those about him pulled him down.
Every time the Wilton players made a
gain the air rang with cheer on cheer
from the crowd, while only Stubby's
shrill voice rewarded the efforts of
Cascade. He shouted most.lustily, but
soon his voice was too hoarse to make
itself heard through the din around
him except by an occasional spasmodic
effort.
Gradually Stubby's cheerful face
clouded, for the game was going
against Cascade. Her players were
more skiIlful than their opponents, but
the Wilton team were too heavy for
them. Twice, by sheer force of weight,
Wilton drove the ball down the field
and across the Cascade goal line,
though once their full back missed the
goa! Or the kick. Then, by desperate
