stock carried has dwindled to more than 100000 tons to nothing. and sellers are not seeking trade, except abroad, where they only hope for contracts for future deliv- cries.
 Present Pr.oss
 Regarding this condition Dun's review said on last Saturday:
 Every week now locks up larger pro- portion of the possible product of 1900 Con- tracts running we'll into that year are by no means infrequent. but in many lines embrace the majority of all transactions. Pig is getting higher still, owing to the im- possibility of getting as much as Is want ed. Bessemer has sold at $23 at Pittsburg, with s22 the minimum; gray forge at A9 and southern pig at $1S.60. Billets sold for $36 at Pittsburg, and are nominally $40 at Philadelphia.
 Some large steel sheet makers at Pitts; burg are sold ahead for the year, and the demand for plates is heavy everywhere, in spite of new and large mills at Pittsburg. Many orders are being booked, running weN into 1900 Most works at Chicago are covered for the year, and contracts with mills in Philadelphia are hard to get.
 
 rails for 1s0O at s9S, but for early delivery of rails $32 ton is quoted in the east"
 Some Refuse to Quote
 Advices from Pittsburg state that manu- facturers are looking for much higher prices. and that some manufacturers even decline to make quotations at all, saying it merely would be assisting in raising prices when they absolutely were helpless and could not produce the material to meet the demand.
 All the production in raw materials in the entire Pittsburg district is sold. and the first two months of 1900 will be taken up In filling old contracts already given out this year. There is absolutely nothing more to sell in Pittsburg this year. and the producers are declining to make quotations for the balance of the year.
 Reports from Philadelphia are that there will be an advance in all lines of the iron trade early in September, owing to the fact that the buyers have finished their esti- mates of their requirements for the next twelve months, which show the demand to be far in excess of the production. Demands Unanswered
 Serious shortage is threatened in struct- ural material, despite the advance of $5 a ton. Plate manufacturers are picking out the more desirable orders from the batch pressing for acceptance. Western imple- ment makers are making loud demands for steel for next years delivery, and calling for thirty and sixty days deliveries, which simply are impossible. Railroads must have car wheels and other equipment, and the pressure on all branches of the trade is tremendous.
 To meet all this the furnaces are pushed to their utmost capacity. Old and disused plants have been repaired and put in blast at great expense, yet the demand is for more and more. This Is true largely of the southern furnaces, where not single plant is idle that can be put into operation, while many more are being built. The output of coke is utterly inadequate, and some pro- ducers are talking of 8 coke, which would have seemed an impossibility two years ago

Will Catch Up Yet

Yet American statesmen are working steadily abroad, serene in the belief that the enormous producing capacity of this country only has been taken momentarily by surprise, and that the time is not far away when the worlds markets need not suffer because there is an overwhelming wave of prosperity in this country that re- quires all the product of iron and steel to aid business in its remarkable movement.
 Though their confidence in the resources and producing capacity of this country is not misplaced. it will be some time before the product in iron and steel will equal the demand here and abroad. Accord ing to the best authorities sn the trade, be- tween this time and thai there will be a u;nchinS fapa'na in rsw material The vast

Eastern
 Opposition To the Development Of the West. It is Strnng and Can be Over come Only Through a United Effort on the Part of the Western States and
 Territories.
4 subject 0fin crest to Eastern
 Manufacture: S.

The greatest obstacle in the path of stordge of water in the West by the Federal government lies in Eastern opposition among farmers
 Many E ,stern men cannot be con- vinced that the development of the West means a sympathetic quick ening in the East through increased ! manufacturing to supply Western communities, which will employ additional labor and cause an in- creased Eastern demand for farm products.
 An official of the Eastern Grange and q member Of other farmers or. ganizati0ns--a man liberal minded on most large questions-said, in discussing the question, that he coull not see anything but local benefit to the West to result from | irrigation, and as far as Govern ment assistance was concerned he was strongly opposed to it. The whole people should not be taxed to help out a few sparsely settled arid States
 But how about doing the work through an equitable division of the river and harbor bill appfopri. atiOns, giving the West some sort of show against the immenses an nual expenditure in the East under this biIl?" was asked.
 | "Eo, no it would be a direct in- jury to the Eastern farmerr East ern farmers don't want the opening up of more Western lands"
 Upon the suggestion that this was a narrow view-to retard the development of any part of the United States-the reply was made that the people as whole were not called upon to Rubsidize the West: let the Western States do their own developing, Moreover, .le said, he believed the East, particularly the Grange and other farm urgariza-, tIons, would shut down squarely upon such projects when the mat fer was brought before them as m issue. They only needed to under stand it tn veto it.
 While this dcgin-the-manger policy Is rot general in the East there are undoubtedly many East erners who entertain just such nar- TOW views, IS was very clearly seen in the fight for national aid along these lines made in the last Con gress- The West ahnnld not de- ceiye itself in the belief that there will be no Eastern opposition to Government expenditures for stor- age of water. This fact, then sim :,ly emphasizes the necessity for the utmost harmony Of purpose and action by the people of the West in demanding the adoption bv the Government of policy whose enactment means the future life of the Western country. The great arid West is no mere corner

Dear Friendly Editor =

Dear Friendly Editor :-
 Some time ago your cor respondent read an "ad" in your paper inquiring for an assistant teacher. Two points therein at iracted special attention: Salary, $35 per month ;" "Home talent preferred. Evidently something beyond the ordinary inspired some one to insert that lad "
 One of the Great Dailies of the Golden West" deigned to give the matter passing notice, lent in such terms as to leave the impress sion upon the minds Of strangers that we of Arizona are four thou sand years behind the times of the average community and at least TEN thousand behind the times of the coast cities.
 Let us see: two of us unf0rtu nate Arizona IaSORAMUsEs recently had occasion to visit Il portion of California's mining region. Before we had purchased our "Pucket Map of California" we asked four very bright APPEARING specimens of the HoMo GENUS. where is Jackson? In what part of the state is Ama- dor County? Not one of hem had heard of Jackson or Amador c0un- y,-and they were corn, raised and educated in the city where the Great Daiy is published
 Ignorance is found everywhere one need not look from under his own hea'lgearto to find it. The base- ness of ignorance is found in not removing it when discovered.
 But the "a.l" in question was not inspired hy that dull child, misap, prrhemsion, as we take it. It so happens thnt we know something ofthe conditions existing in the community where that "Thirty-fve Dollar Teacher" IS wanted. The School Bnard has good reasons for wishing to employ ata low salary this year. If the same conditions are allowed to exist another year, ar continually. then let tho Great Daily "Whoop 'em up" as a set of inc0mpetents.
 However, one may find in every state such persons as we of Arizo- na are supposed to be: ones who think that One Dollar and "siI bits, per day, five days week, for 24 weeks out of fifty-two, is an enor- nous salary per annum. Why, even in the great commonwealth of California, we found teachers serv- ing at salary of Thirty. five Dol lars per month And they were Native Sons And Daughters of the Golden West"-O MIsERUM ME {! or words to that effect.
 IL is said that some real good teachers will at times accept small salary rather than remain idle. Two such teachers are known personal ly by the writer, They have in, tense love for the work. and-what k a very great consolation to them as we might observe-they were asked but once in their lives to work at small salary. Wherever you find teachers employed eOntin- u0uslv at small salaries, you Wift rarely find many marble monn- ments in notwithstanding. not for the living, they care not for the dead.
 We take 1t for granted that the second clause, Home talent pre- fsrred," does not mean to insinuate preferences on the part Of the Board tn starve Rnre une well known in the community rather than starve a stranger. We don't gather that inference at all. We also infer that, it does not mean to fling anything disrespectful at out

The Dewey Purifier and Separator

The Dewey for separating grain
from foul seeds of all kinds is perhaps
without rival in that field. 1t is SO
constructed that q mixture Sof oats,
wheat, grass seed, and mustard or any
like mixture will be resolved into it's
origonal elements, each appearing by
itself. 1t will make almosta complete
separation of timothy and clover seed.
In making separation which involves
five different kinds and grades of
seeds, but one change of selves is re-
quired and the mill is so adjusted that
this requires but moments time.
They may be seen and tested at the
Office in Cresco, or by statesmen at your
farm. They do not carry the mixture
to be separated but will take the fal M
ers grain as they find it and show him
what it contains.
