TO REPLACE AMERICAN SILVER
Banks in Canada to Collect Coin and
Transmit 1t to Montreal

New Westminster, B. CA scheme
for the complete expulsion of Ameri-
can silver from circulation in the Do
minion of Canada has been devised
by the dominion government and will
be put into operation in all Canadian
banks. Every bank in the dominion
has been notified to collect the silver
and transmit it, at the expense of
the government, to the New York
agency of the Bank of Montreal,
where it will be exchanged for gold.
On this exchange the banks will get
a commission of three-eighths of /
per cent, which also will be given
on all subsequent shipments.
There will be no discount on Ameri-
can silver in Canada; the banks will
continue to accept it, but will never
pay it out when cashing checks or
making change. Besides a profit to
the dominion government and the
banks, the above scheme will put a
lot of Canadian coin into circulation.

ANCIENT TRAGEDY UNEARTHED
Skeletons and Armor Are Found by
Laborers in ireland

While diging on land near Roscom-
mon, Ireland, a laborer discovered a
cavern with an arched roof about six
feet in depth. From this a narrow
winding passage led to an old castle
about quarter of a mile distant.
The underground passage is we'll
built, and some of the walls bear
traces of inscriptions, while at a GER
tain point a number of skeletons and
bones were found, together with a
quantity of metal, which proved to
be armor and weapons, evidently of
great antiquity.
An old legend in connection with
the castle runs to the effect that
ages ago the remains of one of the
most powerful of the Connaught
clans took refuge in battle and be-
ing driven into the passage it was
closed up at either end by their foes
and the warriors were thus left to
their death.

His stable consists of some 100000

From 100000 to 100000 calves are
branded with his brand every spring.
More than a thousand cowboys and
so on keep his cattle on a thousand

At his slaughter and packing houses,
near Chihuahua City, 100000 cattle,

Even New Jersey Rubs Its Eyes

Even in trustridden New Jersey
there is a loud call for reform and
Governor Strokes has recommended
to the legislature that the life of
franchises for public utilities be
limited to twenty-five years, with a
provision for referendum for longer
terms. But the legislature of New
Jersey will have to improve on the
governors recommendation if it wants
to protect the people, by providing for
a referendum for all franchises and
better still adopt the referendum sys-
tenn, SO that the people can veto the
acts of the legislature of which they
do not approve and initiate legislation
that their representatives refuse or
neglect to pass.

THE BIGGEST FARM
Don Luis Terrazas' Eight Million
Acres Present SuperIative.

In moment of vinous enthusiasm
Daniel Webster put his hand in his
pocket, asked how much the national
debt was, and offered to pay it him
self. A Mexican farmer, Don Luis
Terrazas, great friend of President
Diaz, once offered to assume the Mex
lean national debt; but it wouldn't
have kept him awake nights if his
offer had been accepted. Don Luis
has what you might call tidy little
farm at Chihuahua; about eight mil
lion acres. Takes the Mexican Gen.
trains more than half a day to cross
it. Whew! Don Luis is thought to
own more than million cattle, but a
bagatelle of hundred thousand or
so more or less never bothers him

We also have several acres in COM
