AFTER COUNTY BONDS.

Credit.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Boulder, March BOULDER has en-
joyed the presence for the past two days
of number of representatives of some
of the large bond-buying houses CT the
country, called here by the sale of s75,-
900 Of county bonds, the issue being
made to take up an older issue at 6 per
cent. A notable feature of the sale
was that old Jefferson county has a
credit that is first class, as her bonds
have sold at a lower rate of interest
than any other county, municipal or
other bonds in the state of Montana.
1T also proves to be very advantageous
time for the sale of bonds, as Eastern
investors are keen to buy, and the work
of the county commissioners in this re-
spect will save several thousand dollars.
There were II bidders and the close
ness of the bids indicate how fine the
financial institutions figure on propo-
sition of this kind.

scented by James Ross, agreed to take
the issue of $4,000 of Az per cent. 20

1t appears that in the matter OF
spreading typhoid, the oyster has been
unjustly maligned. Some experiments
carried out under the direction of the
British Royal society show that sea
water is inimical to the growth of the
typhoid bacilli. Bacilli were placed in
oysters, and, although their presence
was demonstrated in one case on the
twenty-frst day following, there still
appeared to be no initial Or subsequent
multiplication of the germs. AS to
green oysters, the investigators say
that some are wholesome and some are
not. The greenness in the former case
is due to the presence of a harmless
vegetable pigment, with which, Also
there may be associated small guam
tity of an iron salt, but this has no
connection with the coloring matter.
In the other kind of green oysters the
color is due to a deleterious salt of
copper. The epicure1 is therefore rec
commended not to eat green oysters un-
less he knows where they came from.
