So, in conclusion, submit to Judge

United States is the sole arbiter OF
what material shall be coined into
money, or rather, upon what material
the money fat shall siiiaiiii be impressed
coined or stamped, whether it be paper,
tin, leather or what else. There is no
need to change the constitution, as
Judge Fitzgerald hastily assumes; all
we need to do to correct the seeming

to get rid of the brazen-faced rascality
that now and for years back, has

claim of desire to better the condition

Our Old Lover

Editor Independent: The persistent
devotion of the American people to
their political parties is in pitiful con-
trast with the very uncertain devotion
of the political parties to the people.
True the expressions of devotion tc
people which are annually made by the
two dominant political parties are in
manner as fattering and obsequious as
was Fagius' devotion to my dear
boys" in Dickens Story of oliver Twist.
And in their persistent party loyalty,
the dear people themselves haye-by
means of tariff schedules and by spe-
cial legislation Of their party repre-
sentatives in government picked
pockets, to enrich favorite clinents Of
the political parties, as nimbly as
Fagius "Artful Dodger," and have, as
did Oliver Twist under leadership Of
Fagin, burglarized the premises ana
violated the personal rights of the
American citizen.
With the threat to reduce wages
and even threat of the loss of op-
portunity to work (for the masters) the
people have been frightened, repeat
edly, into doing things they knew to
be wrong; and they have been, by mis-
representations, buncoed into doing
great wrongs which they believed. to
be right.
In platforms, campaign speeches and
through their subsidized newspapers,

self-constituted patriots, continuously

BIOLOGIST W. T. LEE
He Has Returned From an Interest-
 ing Colorado River Trip.

w. T. Lee, the geologist attached to | the local offices of the reclamation ser vice has returned from a two months trip along the Colorado between Need les and point some distance above the | mouth of the grand canyon. The pur- pose of the trip was a general recon noissance of tn eriver and adjoining valleys for the discovery and record ing of any facts that might be of use
 to the reclamation service in the fur
 therance of their stora ge and diversion
 projects on the Colorado.
 MT. Lee employed two boatmen at
 Needles, the party then going to King man, whence it went overland to a point near the mouth of Hualpai can yon. They took with them the materials and tools necessary for the building of twenty foot boat, together with SUD-
 plies for a two months trip. The boat
 was built on a sandbar, with hammer and saw and was caulked with oakum
 Though it was roughly constructed it was a solid craft and never leaked a, dIOp. < They journeyed up the river some distance, being gone from their ponit of authorization ten days and reaching a point about 175 miles above Naedlss. 1 Pulling against the current and drag ging the boat over one rapid after an
 other was by no means a lazy man. job, the greatest distance travelled up stream in any one day being six miles,
 and that was hard work from daylight till dark. They went far enough up the gorge to see canyon walls a mile high
 on either side, and as the river was
 rising quite rapidly they decided it was ! Nsala ten days absence from the point of | authorization, the river raised five feet.
 which means a good deal in a stream
 of whirlpools and rapids, with dizzy walls on either side.
 But going down the river was easy, too easy, in fact, and more dangerous
 even than going up. 1t was 2 contjnu ous shooting of rapids with the con-
 stant danger that on any one of them the boat might be ground to pieces.
 capsiZed or shunted into a whirlpool
 In the journey down the river to Need les they encountered ninety-nine rap-
 ids and there would no doubt have been
 more of them in evidence had the river
 been at lower stage. Another dange-
 of the down journey was the driftwood
 which began 10 come down freely when
 the water got up a few feet.
 The trip was completed, however,
 without misihap or a single important adventure and though it was hard work
 and somewhat perilous, it was an inter
 esting and novel journey. There had been some fear that renegade Flutes might be encountered, as two or three | friends of one of the boatmen had been killed by them within a year or two, but no Indians were met and but very few white men. Quite a number of
 mountain sheep or bighorns were seen.
 During the trip ten stamp mills were
 seen from the river, only one of which
 was running. The cost of power in that section makes milling almost impossi- ble, but many mine owners hope to be able to work their properties after the completion of the Salt Lake railroad,
 which will pass within fifteen miles of
 the river where it makes the turn south.

THE BATRE SUIT
The Principal Matter in District Court Yesterday.

The principal matter in the district court yesterday was the trial of the case of Charles Batre and others vs. the Valley Bank and Shirley Christy. The plaintiffs allege the conversion to the bank of 5000 shares of Cieneguita mining stock. It is stated that Batre and Shirley Christy were indebted in 1902 to the bank in the sum of s, 750. The indebtedness was in the shape of over drafts and an arrangement was made by which they could deposit each 5000 shares of the copper stock as col lateral. An order for 5,000 shares was given Batre by Judge Barnes, who was then in New York. It was understood that the certificate for the stock when issued should be made out in the name of Mrs. Batre. It was also understood that Col Christy should give Shirley Christy an order for 5000 shares of the stock to be deposited along with that of Batre. Batre says that he has not found out what became of his stock and he asks for an accounting.
 What testimony was introduced yes terday related to the value of the stock. There were only two witnesses examined before court adjourned Batre and Dr. Ford of the copper company. both of whom testified that the stock was worth $7.50 a share. Before the testimony of pr. Ford was concluded court adjourned for the day. Judge Kent had been indisposed, suffering from an affection of the throat, and he was holding court contrary to the ad-
