New La Sal District.

"Ihe La Sal MOUNTAINS anu hoW W
reach Them is the title Of q pamph-
let recently issued by the Moab
(Utah) board Of trade, prepared bv
Mr.. ]. N. Corbip, formerly Of this city
and now editor of the Grand Valley
Times at Moab. 1t is clear and con-
servative statement OF what has been
found in the way of gold and copper
mines in this locality, and also contains
other information OF value to prospectors.
The La Sal mountains are situated In
Eastern Utah, near the Colorado state
line, partially in Grand and partially In
San Juan counties. They are the east,
or, as the river runs there, on the north
side of the Grand river, and about ninety
miles from its junction with the Green
| to form the Colorado. These mountains
rise to a height Of 1850 feet, and are
$500 feet above the valley OF Grand
river at Moab. The formation IS lgne-
cious and metaphoric rocks abound.
Veins of quartz, quartzite porphyry'
and spar are well defined. In these
mountains occasional plrspectors have
found mineral, and there are numerous
evidences of mines having been WORKED
there By the Spaniards 200 or more years
ago. Last year the district began to at
tract special attention.

There is striking similarity between
the Mckinley badges now worn by the
"prosperityi5es" and Cleveland emblems
worn two years ago. The only appar-
ent difference is that the '9S model is
slightly larger, the texture is little
thinner, and it takes longer coat tail to
hide them.--Reform Press.

Frank 1. White, editor OF the Ldnt- :.
at Crystal Colo, was visitor OF the
writer Tuesday morning. Frank is
dandy, good fellow, if he is red headed.
Frank thinks Colorado is far ahead of
Kansas for a newspaper and he surely
ought to know as he has tried both
states a number of years. Mr.. White is
one of Colorados best pen pushers, but
to be with him, he reminds one OF some
boy he always has some joke to spring
and is always ready to receive one.
Frank used about quire of our writing
paper, writing letter to his best girl
but we do not care for that as paper is
too cheap to have any kick coming

AS rule Free Trade newspapers
are disposed to sheer at the recip-
rocity agreement just perfected be-
tween the United States and
France. They don't like agree
ments of this kind. The fact that
the reciprocity clause Of the Tariff
of 1897 is made effective in the So
curing of diminished duties upon
products of the United States that
are sold to foreign countries would
seem to demonstrate the practical
wisdom of the trainers of that
measure.
But it fails to strike the
Cobdenites this way. In their
way of thinking the proper prelude
to the negotiation of commercial
treaty is to strip yourself of any
possible advantage that Protect
i've Tariff secures. In that way
you have nothing to offer in return
for concessions.
It does not matter in the least
that in the new deal France we
have opened up larger market
for many lines of American ag-
ricultnral and manufactured pro-
ducts. The fact only adds to the
Free Traders discomfort, since it
shows so clearly that the Ameri-
can policy works a double benefit
that of defending our home mar.
ket against injurious foreign COM
potion, while at the same time en-.
larging the foreign demand for our
surplus products. Some people
are so hard to please!-American
Economist.

WASHINGTON. JULIO ~, 4O0O'
President Mckinley is deter
mined to rush the war, now that
our army as we'll as our navy has
been gotten into proper fighting
trim. If the capture of Santiago
de Cuba, which may be announced
any hour-the heaviest of its forts
and a portion of the Spanish fleet
have already been crushed and our
marines landed; the capture of
Porto Rico which will occur inside
Of ton days, and the capture of
tho Philippine does not cause
Spain to throw up the sponge and
ask for peace, Havana will at once
be invested on land as we'll as on
water, and flying squadron of our
fastest ships may be sent over to
lombard some of tho Spanish
coast cities. The delay in getting
the volunteer army ready has been
a scourse of as much worry to
President Mckinley as it has been
to any one else, but he wisely
made up his mind in the begin
ming that it should not fight until
it was ready to fight. The greater
portion of it is now ready to fight
and there is to be no more delay.

are enlisted they will be assigned

That the appointment of news
paper men to the position of post
master is a mistake and often
spoils a good editor to make a
poor official is drastically demon
strated by some of McCleary's
recent appointments in the second
district, who so persistently use
their editorial columns to malign
all those who happen to disagree
with them as to the supposed good
qualities of their patron. It is a
bad habit, boys, and will only
make matters worse.-St. Paul
