half an hour, or 1t might have been an

into the rights of the people line when

Then he broke loose in a yell that
made Clarence sound like penny whis-

Clarence passed us in the stretch,
though we'd left him at the post But
it struck us all as very much on the
twist that none of the society came
along 1t didn't seem like it was any
occasion for silent thought. Anyway
they stuck, and when he found that out
Clarence had a powerful bunch to go
back and have relapse. We hollow
squared him and took him back to the
Topfioor Debating club to talk ii over.
Theories were thick and plenty
about the Silent Thinkers and the gem
eral opinion was that Bill and they had
put 1t all up. Some way, though, the
finish didn't fit in with that idea. All
the time we were discussing it and
Clarence was getting fretty and humid
around the collar Bill did the wise owl
and never said a word Finally Bob
Kinks said that unless Bill opened up
and gave us full diagram he was go
ing back home to have the place raided
as private annex to the Home for AS

That's all right said Bill comfort
ably. Don't worry about their not be-

Their Enormous Increase Within the
Past Generation.
The growth of land values in one of
the most wonderful phenomena of the
age. Every inch of land between King
williams statue and Trinity square,
London, cost thirty pounds ten shi-
lings, or at the rate of one hundred and
ninety-one million pounds per acre-be-
yond all doubt the highest price ever
paid in England for land. The South
Eastern railway company was asked at
the rate of sixty-fve million dollars per
acre for a piece of ground in Bermond-
sey, which had a depth of sixteen feet
only. The demand was SO exorbitant
that even railway company had to
pause finally declining to purchase In
the year 1880 land in Cannon street YVES

this identical street went up to seventy
five dollars square foot-an increase

The County Printing.

In an article published this week
Prof. Lamy intimates that the County
Commissioners have been "humbugged
by INSCRIPTIONS persons" and says the
COURIER received over $500 the past
year for county advertising. This is
so plain lie that it isn't worth while
to contradict it, but the facts in regard
to the county advertising will be of in
terest to our readers.
During the past year the COURIER
did all the advertising required by the
county, whether ordered by the Com
missioners or the other county officers,
free of charge. Not single line pub
lished in the COURIER has been charged
to the county. No bill has been pre-
scented for advertising and the county
has not paid the COURIER one cent for
advertising of any kind during that
time. The Commissioners, the Coun-
ty Clerk and the Auditor will all cor
roborate the above statements. The
COURIER carried out its contract with
the Commissioners to the letter, and
the county has not paid cent for adj
vertising of any description to any
person during the year.
The COURIER published the county
tax list, and Prof. Lamy evidently be-
lieves that the law requires its publica-
tion in newspaper. 1t does not. The
COURIER has never been paid for pub
fishing the tax list in all the years of
its existence. 1t publishes it each year
as "A matter of news to its readers.
The Assessor must have about 900
copies of the tax list printed to mail to
each individual tax payer. This is job
work, mot advertising) and is paid
for by the county. The law says the
Assessor shall have the copies printed
and authorizes the Commissioners to
allow the bill contracted by him for
the work.
The COURIER printed the copies of
the tax list for the Assessor, large
number of court blanks, posters offer
ing a reward for the arrest of Joe Pete,
and mere than dozen different jobs
of work for the County Auditor, Su-
perintendent of Schools, County Clerk
and Assessor and received in payment
for the entire lot, for the whole year,
the sum of $1,000.
This doesn't indicate that the Com
missioners have been humbugged and
it il whole lot short of over 5000 for
county advertising.

monia, after an illness of about ten
days. Deceased was never very strong
and on the day John McCue's house
burned he ran from his home to the
fire, distance of over mile. The I'M
usual exertion exhausted his strength
and he caught cold. He was taken
sick that night and pneumonia set in,
causing his death.
Mr.. Bull was born in Carson Valley
and was so years, months and days
old. He leaves a mother and several
brothers and sisters to mourn his early
death.
