should not be supposed that the first public statement of Amalgamated was expected to cover everything in the Last and future of the eompaav. There will be another report next year and ir will reflect the great savings that are being made by the new shelter ar
 Anaconda. and the benefit to the com pany of the 15-cent copper market. Amalgamated will then be in a much stronger position financially and in- .vest0-s and spectators will draw com parisons between actually was and
 what vii be- The result of such comparison will be a warmer senti- iment than was created by the state ment that came out two weeks ago.
 The increase of quarter of a mll- lion dollars in the net earnings of the Amalgamated group of mines. shown by the reports recently filed with the tax authorities in Montana has made a decidedly good impression. That the company is in much better posi- ition than ever before is now quite generally recognized. Continuing high prices for copper, which now seem assured. will give Amalgagated a substantial cash surplus with q year or two and enable it to greatly add to its mining properties.
 Greene Consolidated stock has re- ceived better support. and it does not act now as though the price would break s20. Careful inquiry in New York leads me to believe that there is Jan element Of personal motive in the stories that have been circulated con Icernine Greene Gold.

 Another disturbing rumor circulated had to do with the financial backing of the several Greene projects. The suspension of Operations on one of the railroads Col.

Why, haint you herd bout that
dog tied to a hundred foot rope,

his tail at the tremendous rate of
mile in less than two hours =?
Why sur that purp he's at the
end of the rope and the trees
at the other, the tree wont turn so
the dog has to run. Yes he has.
Now the question is how long
will it take that dog to commit
susanside, by bumpin' his brains
out gainst that tree? Will that
dog be eny nearer his tail when
he hits that tree than he was a
year ago last Xmas? Will the
travellin' so gul darn fast make
that dog dizzy? Will the collision
with that tree generate currants of
electricity? Is that dog a Neufer-
land or Bill dog? Was he chris

| in his fail cnt nomnadoor2
You no. Mr.. Edutor, that dog
travels exackly fifty feet a minute.
Was there an automatic machine
attached to him and was any other
dogs allowed to firt with him
You see, Mr.. Scribe, a Teller gives
this question to me to work out,
but i can't, cause I don't no the size

Ter or was it nailed to him with
brass staples? Was, that dog a
purp or was he full grown gent
with side whiskers? Was the tree
a slippery elm or prickly ash?
Who's dog was he and where did
his father steel the rope? I'd like
to no if the county coroner held
an inquest over what was left of
that dog and was the verdict, COL

that dog must have had a lot of
nerve to take two hour, ten minutes

A New and Threaten
Ing Danger.

Paper Read Before the Cha,uauqua Circle.
During the past few years GER
tain men have been buying up
large tracts of land, considerable
Of which has been used for specu-
lation. These men are buying
thousands of acres and some of
them are buying whole villages
in order to establish large estates
for themselves. AS yet their oper-
atoms have been confined to the
East, but it will not be long before
the same thing will be done in the
West. At first glance it seems
as If every man is entitled to get
all he can Of this worlds goods,
but that theory will admit of
thorough examination. At pres
ent these large estates portend
no evil, and it may take genera
ton or so before they do, but like
all other evils they are bound to
be felt, and now is the time to
forstall this growing danger.
The easy-gojng, independent
American people will, in all prob
ability, laugh at the idea and say
it is only a bugbear; but they said
the same thing of the trusts only
a few years ago. We have many
precedents to establish our belief
that this is a menacing evil.
While we admire England for her
many good qualities, we are not
in love with her land system.
The situation in Ireland should
be a warning to us. Ireland, one
of the most fertile countries of the
world, one of the natural garden
spots. peopled by an industrious,
intelligent class of citizens, is in
a most critical condition, and all
because the land is in the hands
of few. Are we, in a few years,
going to be in similar condition?
The papers have considerable to
say of John D. Rockefeller who
has lately bought town in order
to found an estate. Many say this
is all right; that this vast country
affords plenty of room for such
large estates; that any number of
men could establish them and still
leave plenty of land for each in
habitant. But is this true, or for
how long will it be true?
I believe law should be passed
preventing any person from owning
more than one thousand acres, or
even a less amount. Then there
would be no menace to the country
from the evil I have been portray
ing. Land is natures provision
for the sustenance of life, and it
is only a question Of time when
some restriction will be necessary
to prevent any person from having
a monopoly of the land.

MEMORIES.

THROUGH my narrow prison window
On the outside world gaze:
Bars or ratings can not hinder
Thoughts or Visions flight through space.
Pressed my face is to the railing;
LOngingly 1 look beyond;
Outward. upward, onward sailing
Flies my fancy, on and on.
Past the distant blue horizon;
Past the woodlands misty glade;
Past the golden clouds that rise on
Through the East's enpurping shade,
Back to boyhood's many pleasures,
Back to meadow. brook and dell;
Back to all those little treasures,
That while boy loved so well.
Back to we1l-remembered places,
Where 1 once was wont to roam
Back, mid kind and well-loved faces
In my dear old Eastern home.
Thus my fantasy goes sailing
Back through bOyhood's scenes and years,
While my face is 'gainst the railing
And my vision dimmed with tears.

HIS is the season of the year
when sea serpents become
visible to the human vision

and it also recalls to my
memory peculiar and almost ia
tai adventure that befell me some
years ago, brought about by a de-
vouring anxiety to look upon a
real, up-to-da sea serpent. While
touring through the beautiful state
of North Dakota, I had arrived at,
during the latter part of June, the
beautiful little city Of Devils Lake
located a short distance from the
lake bearing that name. While
talking to the proprietor of the
hotel at which [ was staying our
conversation turned upon the SUBJ
ject of sea serpents, and he told
me with tone Of sincerity that l
could not resist, that out in the
deep waters of the lake there was
gigantic serpent. that it had been
observed upon several occasions oy
boating parties among whom were
men whose veracity was indisputa-
BILE.
That night l dreamed of SER
penis from the size of an angle
worm up to monsters hundreds of
feet in length. Being from Mis-
souri, I wished to be shown. there:
fore early the next morning [
procured a broncho and blackboard
from nearby livery stable and
drove out to the lake. Eagerly
scanning the smooth surface of the
water as | drove along, [ at last
reached turn in the road where
it was Tapped by the waves of the
lake. I brought the broncho to a
halt and sat admiring the beauti-
full sight. After short time I
became drowsy and soon fell
asleep. My broncho during the
meantime had waded out into the
water where he could cool himself
off and quench his thirst. Sud-
denly [ was aroused by peculiar
swishing sound and looking out
in the direction from which it pro-
ceeded, saw some hundred feet
away a huge head uplifted upon
sinuous neck, waving back and
forth. In the center of the head
were two charming eyes, while
upon each side of the mouth pro-
truded large fangs. Back of the
neck in undulating curves was sew
eral feet of brownish colored body
which seemed, to my startled
vision, about as large IN circum-
ference as a nail key, tapering off
into a spike-like tail. The body
was of a flesh color underneath
while the rest was covered with
large scales.
The terrorizing object was CON-
ing toward me with great speed
and emitting loud Kisses. I
grasped my whip and piled it with
all my might upon the quivering
sides of the broncho. But mad
dened with fright he refused to
answer to the reins, and madly
plunging about carried me out into
the lake and soon lost his foot
ing. In a few moments the buck
board was overturned and the
: horse broke loose from the fasten-
ings while [ was rapidly carried
out into a nearby whirlpool. The
last l saw of my equine friend,
before I sank underneath the
whirling waters, he was EMBODIED
in the grasp of the serpent giving
forth human-like cries of terror
and pain.
I was carried down, down into
such depths it seemed as if I
would be crushed like an. eggshell
under the terrific weight of water
I lost consciousness and when
regained my senses I found myself
in a subterraneous passage carried
along like ship without ruddel
