boarding-houses where such can be re-
ceived. Good roomy, comfortable and

CONGESTION OF MONEY.
Redding Free Press: About one-thir-
teenth of the population of the United
States own $2,065, 100000 of the cash
wealth Of the country. That is to say
There are $685., 600 depositors carrying
that amount of money in the 80 saw
ings banks in these blessed United
States. The savings bank depositors
ought to be careful. They are likely to
incur Democratic accusation of seek
ing to monopolize the wealth of the
nation for be it remembered that the
Democratic party is opposed to monop-
/ olies and trusts and the boarding OF
wealth. The bare fact that the saw
ings bank deposits have increased one
hundred and twenty-three million dol
lars in the past year is an awful evil
! dence of prosperity, to say nothing or
the fact that this same class of money
hoarders own two hundred million dol
lars of the war bonds. If the Demo-
Gratis don't get into power soon pow
| erty Will have taken wings.
THE CASE OF ROBERTS.
| Yreka Journal: Interest is again in
creasing in the case of Representative
elect Roberts of Utah. The opponents
| of Mr.. Roberts are active, and he has
gone East. His opponents say that he
| left Utah because of knowledge that
a warrant had been issued for his ar
rest for violation of the anti-polygamy
law, but he denies that. However, he
| is now East, and says he doesn't intend
to return to Utah before the close Of
| the session of Congress, unless he is
denied seat in the House or is ex-
PEELED from that body after he takes
his seat He expresses confidence that
| he will be allowed TO serve the term
for which he was elected but that IS
not the prevailing opinion in Washing.

When the women AMI the churches

those who know the extent OF the

| TRUSTS IN EUROPE.
San Diego Union: Only at intervals
is anything heard about trusts in Eu-
rope, although they ara fiourishng
over there. In England the tendency
to combine is especially marked among
manufacturers. In France, according
to the testimony of American Consuls,
the principal industries are already in
the hands of trusts And even in Ger
many, where the press is constantly
prating about monopoIies in America,
combinations are steadily multiplying.
Two new trusts are in process of for
nation in the Fatherland the zinc
producers of Rhine Province have un-
dertaken to form a combination for
the purpose of limiting production and
fixing prices, and they talk OF asking
the American zine companies to join
them in a sort of world monopoly. In
fact, the Germans are fairly outdoins

that of the flour mlllers of The Rhine
Province, who have formed their COM

will join the trust.
