One Trustee Answers.
Editor HE TINES:

Editor IEE ZINES:
l have been waiting and hoping for sew
eral weeks past that the State Superlntend-
ent of Education, County Superintendent
or else some chairman of the various boards
of trustees would endeavor TO give You the
information you have so earnestly sought,
namely, the so-ca!led "mlsupproprlutlon
of the free school funds of the county" in
the purchase of maps, charts, etc, but as
none of the ato-e mentioned individuals
seem inclined to give the information and
rs you have in this weeks issue OF HE
TINES made charge that can be intended
for no other than the school district rep
resent, believe it my duty to reply.
Last week you stated that in Mt Zion
township $500 had been expended in the
purchase of three articles. and this week
YOU state that "our Schoo! district had pur-
chased 1920 worth Of maps and charts aud
have not had free school running for i've
years" This last reference must, OF course,
nave been to Mt Ziou My part in the
purchase of the maps, etc, for this district
was exactly in the conscientious discharge
of nv duty rs then saw it. admit that
now think (we) was imposed on in pay
| ing two or three times as much as the arti-
cles were worth, but when the purchase
was recommended by the County Superin-
tendent of Education and asked for by
some of the patrons of the school espe-
cially represent, what WAS left for me to
do? did not consult all the patrons, but
believe had / done so a majority would
have desired the purchase.
II saying our school district has lot had
free school running in five years is GER
tainly very great mistake. Our five
schools have almost without exception beer
running every year as long as most others
in the county and longer than great
many.
To discharge the duties of school
trustee Alright require time, prudence and
care, in return for which be receives nel-
ther remuneration and often no thanks.
and in some Instances the ill-will OF some
who would otherwise be we'll wishers and
friends.
I believe yet the people and patrons OF
the schools in our district will be satisfied
with our action in this matter, and we do
not fear the >crutny of the grand jury
in February" or any one else IN the dis
charge of my (our) duties.
Respectfully yours,
W. II. PLowDEN,
Trustee School District No. 10.

to understand that, notwithstanding the
moderate increase in the worlds crop of
this year over that of 1887. the supply
from new crop and stocks on hand will
not be up TO the average standard, and
they are consequently advancing their
bids for American wheat. The extent OF
the current foreign demand may be in
ferred from the fact that. within the last
ten days, engagements have been made
for the export of 100000 bushels of
wheat. This shows that a point in price
has been touched at which our farmers
are willing to sell: but 1t remains to be
seen whether, after such large foreign
purchases at the current range of values,
growers may not hold for further rise.
This ten millions OF bushels coming to
seaboard will be a severe tax upon the
carrying capacity of the railroads. and
our Chicago correspondent telegraphs us
-"the business the Northwest railroads
are doing = marvellous
1T is as yet too early to estimate the
effect OF tuese grain exports upon the
gold movement. Some moderate engage
ments are being made for the export of
the metal to this side; and although the
operations are light and only occasional.
they show that the exchange market is in
a condition which might readily yield to
the pressure of the bills to be made
however, would not necessarily mean i'm
ports of gold. The higher rate for money
at London than at New York would af-
ford tempting opportunity for sixty
days employment of Idle runds in the
purchase of exchange-a form of tran
sient investment which has been much
resorted to within the last twelve months,
and at one time to an extent estimated
at 500 900. In truth, we have no reason
to anxiously covet any further additions
to our already extraordinary stock OF the
yellow metal. A year ago our national
holdings of gold reached their highest
point, $3.50 600. Since then. We have
made net imports amounting to si25 900 600,
and the domestic production and receipts
from the klondike region must amount
to $40, 1000 600 more; which would make our
present national stock over $500, 900 600.
This places us far ahead OF France, which
has been the largest gold-holding coun-
try in the world, and puts our stock near
ly S200, ,00o0 900 in excess OF our former
highest figures. The receipts this week
at San Francisco from Melbourne)
amount to So. 10000. and at this port
81, 800. 900. making the weeks arrivals over
IS, ,000, 600 1t is to be hoped that some
more productive use may be found for our
increasing creditor foreign balances than
piling up stocks of gold in excess of all
requirements for money or banking pur-
poses"
The times., 1898-10-23

The street is puzzled at the attitude of
the stock market. The week closed yes
terday with considerable strength though
trading was dull. This is reversal Of
form and coming at the end of Il period
so unsatisfactory, 1t is most unexpected.
1t is hardly worth venturing opinions as
to the market this week. Many traders
and some of the careful observers of the
market expressed the conviction at the
close yesterday that a turn upward is to
be witnessed. Others were of the opinion
that the rally yesterday was simply re-
action, very temporary in character. from
the declines of the last few days. The
matters that are favorable to a better
feeling are the excellent bank statements,
the sudden strength in Tobacco, and the
great demand for American wheat. On
the other hand. there are still the cleo
tons, very uncertain in their outcome, and
certainly as threatening for the Republi-
cans at the moment as they have been at
any time. The advance of Tobacco is
known to have been simply manipulation,
and 1t is questionable if its influence for
the remainder of the market will be felt
much after the traders have thought the
matter over before the opening tomorrow.
London quotations showed a lower range
of prices in the early market yesterday,
but a better tone supervened before the
close.

His Kind of a Garter.

Nrioiii SulcdgO JOurnal.
The farmer and the new city boarder had been
tramping about for over an hour during all of
which time the farmer noticed that his guest
walked with stiff, mechanical sort Of limp in
his left leg that made him wonder Moreover he
had seen the city boarder strike that well-shaped
left leg against logs and rail fences in a manner
that would have doubled an ordinary man up
with his chin on his knees and made him rub his
shins for a half hour. But not wrinkle in the
city boarders face changed which made the
farmer wonder all the more.
Say began the farmer, intending to ask
in regard to the leg. But he CHANGED to notice
that the sock on it was down, and that changed
his purpose. q4.1

Haven't got tack about you have your, he
asked rolling up the trouser leg.
The farmer drew great handful of junk from
a pocket and, after lingering about in it, handed
out big, broad-headed carpet tack. The city
boarder drew up the sock, pressed the tack
through its top into his leg with his thumb, and
drove it in to the very head with a stone.
The farmer stood aghast.
well, that beats me! Keepn' yer sock up by
nailin' it to yer leg! Say, you can't have any
feelin' in that leg?'

down the trouser-leg. ITS artificial"
