THURSDAY. APRIL 27, 1899.

Next Monday. May LIST, an election
will be held in school district No. 4 for
one school director to succeed Fl. A.
Dawley, whose time has expired. We
think we voice the sentiments of the pub
lie when we state that Mr.. Dawley's re
election would be gratifying. He has
served the district with marked efficiency
for number of years, at all times taking
deep interest in school affairs. But he
has concluded that he has carried this
part of "the white mans burden" long
enough and declines reelection. L. W.
Dabcock has been prevailed on to be-
come candidate aud will make an ex-
cellent director. The election will be
held at Williams & Clark's shop Monday
next from to 5 p. m. After the polls
close the meeting will be organized for
the transaction OF any business which
,uay come before it.
Rocky Ford's financial standing is
high, as evidenced by the bids for the
$4,000 water bonds opened by the town
council Friday evening. The bids were
as follows: Sweet, Of New York, par,
plus S19O premium; State Bank of Rocky
Ford par, plus $40 premium: F. d.
lowering par, plus s340 premium; j. b.
Downey, par; Rollins & Son, par, plus
s36o premium, they also agreeing to pay
for engraving the bonds and all expenses
csnnected with their issue. In letter
accompanying the successful bid was the
statement that the offer OF such pre-
MUM on five per cent bonds was due to
the wide reputation Rocky Ford enjoyed
throughout the east by reason OF our
cantaloupe and watermelon shipments.
The Town Council isto be congratulated
on floating so successful loan, and our
citizens are to be congratulated on the
fact that this bord issue will secure an
Improvement OF our water system which
will give much needed fire protection.
The recently published report Of the
territorial secretary Of Oklahoma con-
tains some figures that should cause
the people to think. The figures are in
relation to fire insurance and show about
the conditions which prevail all over the
country. The various fire companies
operating in the territory took in for
premiums $167.0O0 and paid out for
Losses $4,000. This enormous profit
should have been snved to the property
owners by mutual insurance. Fire in
.surance is good thing, which every
body should have, but there is no good
common sense in paying too mnch for it.
The people should do their own insur-
aAce by means Of mutual companies.

Since it is given out that gold has
become so very plentiful and will
never become scarce any more, why
this continued solicitude about the
endless chain If there is always
to be an abundance of gold in circu-
lation, as it is now claimed by the
single gold standard advocates, it
will be impossible to raid the gold
reserve through the endless chain"
process. A run can only be made
on the gold reserve when there is a
scarcity of gold in circulation. If
everybody has gold money there
could be no object ia raiding the re-
serve, or If it were raided it could be
