sentiment for In
dependence

Mr.. J. Clayton Nichols. formerly OF
this city, one of Grand Junction
early Residents, writes interesting
~ OF conditions in the Philippines
IN letter to his brother, Henry Mich
ols OF this city, and the many old time
friends of the gentleman, who has
been resident of Manila for quite a
long period, always read with interest
any letter from that gentleman that
! are given to the public.
In the following brief but enter
tanning letter from Mr.. Nichols he
gives evidence of the idea that seems
to be prevailing among a large num-
Der of Americans in the islands as
well as among the natives themselves
that the Philippines should have full
independence at an early date. e.
The letter follows:

My temper sometimes warns up
with the climate Last Friday / sent
a gang of twelve natives out to Mala-
bon to load some railroad rails in
small boats. When l arrived they
had been at work two and a half
hours and had loaded 60 rails. l made
things so hot that they thought the
meridian sun was an iceburg. They
loaded the next 80 rails in As min
utes.

ANNUAL TESTS
OF ALLU. S. COINS
BEGAN IN PHILADELPHIA TO-

cEEplNG.
Special to the Herald.

! Special to the Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE
Assay Commission met at the United
States Mint in this city today to be-
gin the annual tests of the coinage
Specimens from all the different
shipments of coins are examined. one
in every thousand in the case of gold
coins, and one in every two thbus-
and in the case of silver coins. The
tolerance. or limit of divergency al
lowed by law is one and half grains
for silver and half a grain for gold
1t is one of the duues of the commits
sion to see that these limits have
not been exceeded.
Upon assembling today the men,
bers of the commission first examined
the scales which were to be used
By them in Weighing the coins. The
standard weight used is the Troy
pound of $3.50 grains. the government
beng in possession of a duplicate of
the original made in London in 1927.
This duplicate is kept with great for
mality in the dual charge of the direc-
tor of the mint, and the superinten-
dent of the Philadelphia mint Each
official has a key to one OF the two
locks of the box, making it impos-
sible TO open 1t unless both act in
conjunction. Inside the box is still
another one containing a third, in
which the standard pound is secure
ly screwed.
Judging from past experience and
the care with which the coins are
manufactured the commission is not
likely to discover any discrepancies.
After the weighing tests have been
completed the commission will inves-
tigate the fneness of the gold and
silver in the coins. 1t is expected
that the tests will continue until Sat
