town you meet your neighbors Setur.
day afternoons and exchange news
and experience. You go 70 It for ., day
Of recreation when the snow comes,
the fair, or on holidays.
There during the winter lecture
course you hear great orators and ex-
cellent musicians. The political rallies,
the church conference or association
are held there.
BY and by in the. pretty little VII
lage church, whose spire you can see
from your farm, you son will preach
the gospel In the brick building two
doors from the corner. = feymsr boy
will open a law once. and In the little
frame two blocks away another son
of the soil, Just back from college, will
begin the practice of medicine.
There is the high school to which
you send your children. and there
after awhile your daughter will teach.
And some day when you find the
farm work too heavy for your age, and
want to get near the children. you will
build on that grassy corner lot two
doors from the Methodist church and
move to town.
Yes, the town is a mighty good
thing to have, pleasant thing; and
the more you put into 1t the more you
get out Of 1t. For 1t grows according
to the trade it gets and the more it
grows the more 1t can buy and the
higher will go your land.
The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why 1t is right that the country peo-
pie spend their money at home is the
moral obligation.
The town is yours. yours to ruin or
prosper. The same sense of obliga-
ton should prompt you to support 1t.
as prompted our old Teutonic ances-
tors In the forests OF Germany to
stand elbow to elbow in protection Of
their village. The same spirit of loyal
ty should inspire you as fired the
Highland Scot to spend his blood for
the welfare of his clan.
The country town with all its faults
is the best governed. most enlight-
ened. most moral. and happiest spot
in American civilization. 1t is good
safe place. Not too swift. nor yet too
slow. In touch with the current OF
progress, but not racing with greed.
The place from which come nearly all
the great business men, lawyers,
scholars, preachers, physicians. The
place where men are neighborly and
helpful.
This town, my farmer friend. 10
yours. But the city belongs to the
Gilpin observer., 1907-03-07

Find 200 acres OF good land almost
anywhere that is 20 miles from town
and you can buy it for $25 an acre.
The same land within ten miles will
bring $35, within five miles its value
Is $50, within two miles $S5 an acre.
Thus that town has increased the
land within a radius OF ten miles an
average of $35 dollars an acre. AS
that is about the age of country towns
generally. you may figure that town.
as long as 1t is fairly prosperous. in
creases the land around 1t an average
OF one dollar an acre every year.
Not considering staple articles like
cattle, hogs and grain which can be
shipped and sold anyway, the town as
q local market is worth at least SIS
a year to the ordinary farmer.
For example: This year the peach
markets were so glutted no ordinary
fruit would pay the express. Around
the little town In which the writer
lives most farmers have a few peach
trees. The 1000 inhabitants bought
nearly every bushel in the vicinity at
from 40 cents to dollar a bushel.
More than $4,000 was paid for peaches
within three weeks.
That was clear gain which must be
set over to the credit of the town.
Plums, cherries, early vegetables,
scores OF little odds and ends, perish
able stun that the farmer could not or
would not ship he turns into cash at
the home town.
So II a man owns 200 acres within
reach of town. he will receive $275 a
year direct cash value from that
town, none of which he would receive
from the mail order house.
To be sure. the town does not do
nate him that amount, the town was
not built for the purpose of philan-
thropy. yet he receives an actual cash
benefit because the town is there: and
he is under actual financial obliga-
tions to return that benefit by spend
ing his money at home.
1t is not an obligation that the law
would recognize, but 1t is one that ap-
peals to those independent, clean
hearted men OF high honor who feel
that perfect honesty demands that
when benefits are received from
stranger or brother, friend or foe,
benefits should b>A returned.

It Is right for the country to spend
It's money with tie home town because

A preacher who was q crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for a rest handed
him text he thought safe. THE way
of the transgressor Is hard"
Friends" said the preacher. "thero
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First. the transgressor.
Second, his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once. to the third"
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given, but sup
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason:
1t is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques-
ton in every transaction is whether
1t Is right or wrong. Not will l save
money, but is 1t just? Not is it more
convenient, but Is 1t fair? Not
whether is it good business, but
whether 1t is good morals?
For you and l know. and all the
world Is coming to krow, that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And man may be as dis
honest In saving money as in getting
1t.
1t Is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send it
away because we are under obliga-
tions to the home town, but not to
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is un
der financial obligations to the town.
OF course the town is also indebted
to the country, but the town cannot
help but pay its debt, its very exist
ence does that. Hence we are merely
discussing the country side Of the OBJ
legation.

The Consolidated Gem people have
completely remodelled the Newton An
mex mill, says the Idaho Springs Ga
zette, for the handling of the ores
from the Gem mines pending the erec-
ton of the immense mill to be placed
at the mouth OF the Newhouse tunnel.
The system embodies all Of the points
of the Newton mill. which has treated
these and other ores successfully In
the Annex mill the handling of the
product will be by gravity, thus ma
terially reducing the cost of treatment.
From the time the ores leave the cars
until the product is dumped into the
railroad cars finished concentrate.
the handling by employees is avoided.
From the rolls and crushers the ores
go to the various mesh screens and to
the jigs and tables. the shines being
carried to tanks. The concentrates are
carried by launders and pipes to set
Ting bins and from there hoisted into
the freight cars. This system Of hand
ling the lower grade material will re-
duce the cost OF hauling the product
and make It possible to haul and treat
the ores from the mines at cost OF
$1.02 per ton, where the present cost
Is 81. 80 ton. AS the company has i'm
mense reserves Of low-grade mineral,
the profit in saving alone will be most
gratifying.

altogether applicable to other towns in
the State, but radically unsuited to itself.
In such case. the intelligent work of the
board of trade would have secured an ex-
ception in favor of its own locality, which
would have in no way injured the value of
the law to the State in general.
Look yourself over and see where the
present State laws hamper your well be-
ing, and then through your board OF trade
have it set Alright. Yours is an exceed
ingly fortunate town if it can not discover
wherein it has been hampered to greater
or less degree by the work of our past and
present law makers.
In closing. gentlemen, would call your
attention to the records of all our great
New England cities. They were small
once, and to their boards of trade, citi-
zens' associations, commercial clubs, or
other trade bodies, they are heavily in
debted for the positions which they have
attained.
1t takes time to build cities, but when
once established, they become forever
source Of pride and of boundless value to
its citizens. But if each man holds back
and imagines that his colleague is going
to step forth and take the laboring oar.
just so sure will the craft, eventually, run
aground.

OUR 1MPREGNABLE POSITION.


 Though all danger if there ever was any. of a countrywide panic Is over, it is with satisfaction that we of the Salt River Valley may contemplate the impregnable position we occupy against financial assaults. We have al ready shown that in the very nature of things. in the absence of any man. ufacturing industry dependent upon an outside market, there was no inter est here that could be actively dis turbed by any panic.
 Conditions in the valley are much different from what they were in 1893, and 1894. Then, many farms were mortgaged. Farmers were dependent upon the banks and the banks were not in their present state of independ- ence. Prices were low and there was little market, either at home or abroad for live stock or farm products.
 Now there is a market for every thing. and a majority of the farmers. instead of being tempted to sell. are in such a position that they can af- ford to wait on the possibility that prices many still go higher.
 There is for instance, the item of hay. It was never before so high and never before was there so much of it in stacks ready for the market when the market becomes sufficiently at tractive. It is said that none is selling for less than SIP ton and majority of the farmers are not ready to sell at that figure.
 So long as such a condition of af- fairs exist, there can be no hard times nor any reason for hard times. Those who have to buy hay may feel panicky, but after all. they are partic- ipants in the general prosperity.
 There is only one disadvantage we could suffer in the event of wide spread financial disaster elsewhere, and that effect would be negative. We would undergo disappointment rather than loss. There would be a delay in railroad development and the con- strUctiOn of the through line to which we have so impatientIy looked for ward
 One can not be bankrupted by de- priving him of something he never had. His condition can be rendered no worse than it had formerly been. His prosperity cannot be reduced unless it has anticipated the advantages he had expected. But fortunately our pres ent prosperity has not come about by discounting the future.
