He seemed to be doing well and gained in strength up to within a few days of his death. He was an ex- cellent young man, had many noble traits of character and gained many sympathetic friends while in our midst. His remains were inferred here.
 A dance was given Saturday evening last at the residence of John Chisholm. near the rock quarry, by the Flagstaff Dancing club, new organization of this town, which was largely attended. The music was excellent, and 1t was in the wee small hours that the merry makers managed to break away and see the sun rise. The club gave another dance at Babbitt's hall last night, which was an enjoyable affair. This organi- zation proposes to give dance about once week. The one given last night was in honor of Jim Smith, who leaves today to rejoin his regiment.

''Shinplasters. "

Now we are to have a return of the shinplaster-not because OFT silver money has taken fright, as it did during the great war, and proposes to "hide out" but because there isn't enough of it to do the work that is required of it, and the secretary of the treasury has to belp it out by an issue of paper currency. The movement in favor of such an issue originated in Ne braska, in the form of a circular addressed to numerous congress- men, asking them to favor bill embodying provision for the is- sue of small paper currency. The suggestion has met with favor at the treasury department, and it is said that in short time $10.000,- 900 of this currency will be placed on sale in the various postoff1ces where the demand is greatest. The main object to be subserved is to facilitate the transmission of small amounts of money in letters for the benefit of country people making small mail purchases at distance. Without some such conveniences, small sums are sent in silver and are easily detected in letters, or a postal order must be purchased, involving unnecessary expense.
 In addition to these, the secre- tary has issued, during the last 60 days, gold certificates of conven- tent denominations, representing in the aggregate more than twenty millions of dollars, and all of these were taken up into the circulation as fast as they could be given out.

The raising Of the tax rate is simply
the penalty the citizens must suffer for
shlftlessness and incompetency on the
part OF successive city governments.
To increase the rate to Si7O would be-
an outrage. But the present figure.
$.65. is only less am outrage by cents.
Every tax payer and every city official
knows that the wealth and resources of
this municipality are sufficient TO pro-
vide all the necessary revenue at far
lower rate than that. But this is a
problem that requires something more
than frivolous discussion at few
meetings 10 solve and whatever seri-
Gus work has ever been done With it
has been allowed to slide. The Goo Goo
spasm accomplished nothing by it's

The ordinance fixing the tax rate for
the coming fiscal year was introduced
in the Board OF Aldermen last evening
and =.teek= =fes=fi#se= rushing step
That is to say is was tabled. This is
the usual process. You first introduce
your tax ordinance. Your finapce COM
mittee explains that the tax rate must
be raised. The councilmen. or alder
men, as the case may be. shudder.
There Is moment OF hesitation. Then
motion TO table. This is the annual
formula. After awhile the tax ordi-
nance is lifted from the table. II lt.
is heavy with the trouble 1t brings
when the committee first fetches II into
the chamber, it weighs whole tons
when II lis lifted from the table. There
is discussion. The committee explains
that it Will be SO many cents shy on
the hundred at the end OF the year If
the tax rate is not raised in accordance
with the suggestions. But while it is
protesting. the clerk of the committee
is figuring out the estimates so as TO
get through the year somehow, because
from lcng and trying experience the
clerk is morally certain that the tax
rate is not going to be raised But
some Of the committee are young at
the business and cultivate ideals while
the clerk fgures out figures.
