Says the Jasper (Fla.) News: There
is an industry in this county that but
little is known about. It is the alliga-
tor hide business. During the season
from June to Sept. o. A. Worley Of
this place bought 757 hides, for which
he paid the sum of $467. Doubtless our
most timid citizen never thought that
757 gators could be found In this love-

The Post-Inteliisencer yesterday print
Cd . letter from = washinxson soldier
ut PasiG. wherein were ret forth with
some amplitude the reasons why the

controlling cause was the travel pay.
which viii amount TO about 80 for each
private. and which he will lose under
the army regulations Ii he comes direct
10 Seattle from Manila.
No one In Warrington wants the SOL
diers 10 forfeit this money. II was
hoped that arrangements might be
made by which the boys wouid. Ii they
came straight home. receive the extra
travel ray as a bonus. or on some basis
Of constructive mileage. But. ii IL can
not be done. the people OF The state win
certainly waive any sentiment or wishes
they may have in favor Of the superior
financial argument In favor OF San
Francisco The Illuminating experience
Of Portland in this very same matter II
not without its lessen for Seattle. IRE
ueudous effort was made to have the
Second Oregon taken direct To Portland
and il all hut succeeded: but with the
unexpected result that the project was
strongly and unanimously opposed by
the regiment itself. The next best thing
was to hiring them home after the mus
ter-out. In a body a. nearly as possible:
~ that plan was adopted.
II the Washington regiment desires
10 so To san Franciscan Il has SO
voted is not gracious nor desirable

compensation for any loss 1t may suf-
fer. The cost would be about s3s 900.

from the recent report of the Director
of the Mint that one-half of the worlds

of the world, from the discovery of
America to the present time is, ten
billion dollars, or to be exact, $685.
O59,60O. and of this amount 5,S4l $685.
600 or over one-half has been produced
since 1860, and $3.50, ,260, 400 or over
one-fourth since 1885. The average
production prior to 1860 was about
$4,000 600 per annum; from 1860 to
1890, about ten times that average per
annum, and in 1899 is at the rate of
1926, 100000 per annum. These start
ling facts, showing the rapid increase in
gold production, demonstrate the
absurdity Of the claim that the money
metal Of the world is not being increas-
ed at rate necessary to keep pace with
the increased population or increased
demands Of commerce.
