DUNNED FOR A DOLLAR
United States Treasury Buys a
Cheap Lot in Salt Lake City

When the committee of treasury Off
Gals went out to select a location for
a government building at Salt Lake
City, they were offered two sites, one
of them by the Mormon church, OPP
posite the Temple, free of cost, and the
other by Walker Bros, nearer the cen
tire of the town, for the consideration
of 81, says the Chicago Record The
latter was selected, the deeds were
made out, signed and recorded, and
the property has belonged to the gov
eminent ever since the LIST of August
last. Several days ago Secretary Gage
received a letter from Walker Bros,
dunning him for the dollar which was
set down as the consideration in the
deed. They said they had sold the
land at reasonable price, and expect
ed the government to keep its agree
ment and pay them the 81 in cash
Secretary Gage had the cabinet
maker in the treasury department to
make box of rare woods inlaid, lined
it with velvet and in the lid placed
the following letter, written by the
best penman in the department.:
Gentlemen: In full payment for a
certain lot of land in the city of Salt
Lake, conveyed by you to the United
States Aug l, 1899, l hand you this,
the price stipulated, one dollar ($1). It

he believed the street had seen about
the last of the high money rates. The
National City bank received yesterday
$5,000,000 of government deposits, which
it proceeded at once to loan on the
stock exchange at per cent for the
purpose of relieving to that extent the
money stringency. The sub treasury
yesterday afternoon received from thu
depository banks $6,5OO,OOO in govern
ment bonds, as collateral for added de-
posits of government revenues. The
extra revenues will begin to flow into
the banks at once, and will be used in
the regular course of business.

CHAPTER VII.

Next morning the result of Padre Sebastiano's discussion with the two mates was apparent, for Diaz came to the captain and broached the subject of heading for Santa Rosa. Halstead demurred little at frst-said the change of course would make him late, as it was, etc.-but finally admitted that it would take only few hours more, and said that he had no objec- tions. This was Thrrsdny. spent the afternoon and most of Friday with Senorita Gracia, liking her better the more I saw of her. 1 was pretty sure that Halstead had a little the advan- tage of me in her regard, but she never showed it while we were together. In fact, as the time drew near when.I was to leave the steamer, she seemed dis posed. by unmistakable evidences of liking for me, to produce an impress sion that neither years nor absence could efface; and she certainly sue ceeded. When I said good night at the door of her stateroom, Friday evening, I wondered a little what the result would be should I throw up the enter prise and remain on board. But the captain was boring over the chart again when I reached our quarters. and one glance at his face was suffi- cient to banish ail indecision. On my part. the affair had been, so far, mere ly speculative; there had been no op- portunity for action Halstead, on the other hand. was now fully committed. He and. McPherson had taken def- mite step which there was no retrac- ing-which might cost them their posi- tions whether we were successful or not-and. while he had certainly gone into the affair with the hope of better ing his condition, knew that but for my persistence he wouldn't have at tempted it. He looked up as came in, and motioned me to close the door. Six bells had just struck, and all the passengers were below, so we were not likely to be disturbed. He asked me where had seen the padre last.
 ''In the saloon, drinking rum and wa ter. Why?"

coming on deck together, or when they approached Halstead and myself as we were enjoying our after-dinner touched his cap and retired to port, but the padre, remaining upon the ladder until he should receive per mission to invade the official precincts. said that he'd like to have little chat about the voyage.
 Halstead sent one of the quarter masters below for another stool, and courteously offered him cigar. Whe- we were settled comfortably, the padre said:
 .Senor Capitan, this my first voyage is to the Ladrones; but much of the interes I have for them, and the in- fencion have to un gran description write while among las Islas do re main. You the knowledge have that I go to Saipan, believe. Yes? And Saipan is how far from Agana?"
 ''M'--well, let me see. I presume you'll stop at Garapang, that's Tana- pag harbor. About hundred and twenty-five miles, padre"
 And the transportation, capitan I am told that nothing they have but the--the proas, the native boats; and that very wet they sometimes are muy descomodo."
 Well, they are rather cramped for room, and, guess, when there's much of wind, rather sloppy. Still, they are very fast; if you have a good wind you can make the run in nine or ten hours, I should say
 "sNine or ten of the hours! Sam tisima! In the one posicion! What does one not do DOT la seryicio pic! He is not the voyage dangerous, is he, capitano?"
 Dangerous? Oh, I don't think so, at this time of year. You might strike a hurricane in July or August but you could put in at one of the islands if the weather looked threatening; they're none of them very far apart. You're familiar with the general po- sition of the archipelago, are you not padreo"
 "Si, senor; I have seen them upon the atlas. Like the string of little pin-points."
