Answer
In general way, the Postal Saw
ings Bank means that the Govern
ment itself will establish a system of
Savings Banks which will enable
people to deposit their money with
the pOstmasters, and thus insure the
safety Of the deposit. There are sew
eral different plans proposed and
there is a great difference of opinions
as to which is the BEST But the sub
stance is that the postoffices shall
act as receivers of money saved up
for deposit, and that therefore each
one of these post offices will take to
itself, in some degree, the character
Of Savings Bank. This would re-
move one of the main troubles of the
present system. Postals Savings
Banks could not fail as long as the
Government itself was solvent;
whereas, when you put your money
in bank now, you never can tell for
certain whether you ever will see it
again.
Possibly you would not think I hit
young Ward too hard, if you had
known how hard he hit me. He had
no provocation whatever to jump on
me in that way, for I hadn't done a
thing to him. He misunderstood the
whole business, got his facts wrong,
and deserved a sharp call-down He
has no interest in the paper he edits;
being salaried man, paid by the
farmers of Mississippi, among whom

were not only surprised, but offend
ed, when young Ward, without any
cause for it, jumped on me.
I am very glad indeed that you
are doing your best to cooperate
with me for the uplift of our fellow
countrymen. T. E. w.

by similar process. Almost with
out exception, the necessaries of life
are controlled by these trusts, and
when the new tariff laws gave them
greater powers from the home mar
ket, they simply made use of them.
Not only has this Internal Aldrich
bill increased the cost of living in
this country, but it has narrowed our
foreign markets. The exports have
fallen off $152, 100000 within the
last few months.
Commerce means an exchange of
commodities. If we deny to the out
side world the right to bring it's
commodities to this market, we natu-
rally lessen our chance to dis
pose of our goods in the markets
of the outside world. The higher the
tariff, the smaller is our foreign mar
ket. Foreign vessels don't want to
come here, empty, to get carloads of
our goods; yet our tariffs are so high
that they can't bring in sufficiency
of foreign goods to enable us to get
our commodities into foreign mar
kets to the extent that we should.
How plain it must be to your mind
that if the tariff on cotton and wool
en- goods were lowered one-half, our
people could buy the goods at half
the price they pay now, and would
therefore consume about twice as
much. They do not now buy what
they need, for the simple reason that
the price will not enable them to do
so. Were the duty on cotton goods
to go down, the amount purchased
would go up; and, of course, this
would create a demand for raw cot
ton, which demand would, as mat
ter Of course, increase, permanently,
the price of raw cotton.
The fact that the farmer is not get
ting too much for his cotton is proven
by the official reports that show he is
not accommodating any profits. The
fact that the Trusts are charging us
outrageous prices, is proven by the
fact that they sell their goods in the
foreign markets at very much less
than prices that we have to pay for
the same goods, and that they make
a profit of 35 per cent. on the goods
sold abroad. Therefore, it would not
be necessary for you to consult the
official reports to be convinced that
you are outrageously imposed upon
by the home prices; but if you will
consult the official reports contained
in the Statistical abstract, published
every year, by the Government, you
will discover that the Steel Trust
alone makes greater profits every
year than the millions of farmers
have ever cleared i'm any year. AS to
the manufacturers, on the whole,
they not only clear 8 per cent on
the money invested, but some years
their excess profits reaches the amaz-
ing sum of two billion dollars. There
are only a few thousand capitalists
engaged in this protected industry,
but they pocket annually One-haIf of
the increase in wealth. 1t is simply

LIMITED TRAIN NNED
OVER WESTERN PACIFIC

Now that the Western Pacific
has been successfully inaugurated
and its pass enger trains are prov
ing such a success, the officers are
devoting their time and attention to
the new fall and winter schedule,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. AS is
we'll known. the great movement
to California opens in November
and December, or just as soon as
the cities of the east are in the
throes of cold weather. To handle
this enormous movement there are
no less than ten fine limited trains
to various Pacific ports. Now
that the Rio Grande has an outlet
to the coast resumption of the
Scenic Limited is now being dis
cussed. This train would cover
the distance from Denver to San
Francisco in fifty hours, and the
aim will be to have it traverse the
scenery of Colorado, of Salt Lake
basin and of the Feather river by
daylight.
, AS tentatively arranged it will
make no stops at all for local
passengers except at populous
cities and district terminals: 1t
will not be burdened by second
class sleepers or chair cars, but
will consist of the dynamo. bag
gage and buffet car combined, a
diner, three sleepers and an obser-
walton car.

ARRESTED IN OREGON

Some time last month Arthur
jacobson. peddler and junk man
from Idaho, drove through the
northern part of this county selling
his wares and getting junk. He
found no one around the old quartz
mill at Bull Run and spent four
days there gathering material to
sell in Idaho. Among the stuff
taken were the copper pla ties of
the mill. He took his junk to
BoiseCity and sold the copper plates
for 8 cents a pound. District
Attorney Taber was notified of
the disappearance of the copper
plates and Sheriff Clark was put
on his track. jacobson was ar
rested at Vale, Oregon, by Sheriff
Odell and Sheriff Clark left here
Monday night to bri ng Jacobson
back. He returned this morning
on No. 5 with his prisoner.
The copper plates are said to be
worth $1,000. They have been
taken from the junk dealer at Boise
City and are now in the possession
of the officers there. jacobson
admits taking the property and
gives as an excuse that he thought
the mill had been abandoned. He
is about DO years of agn and is
we'll spoken of by those who know
him in Idaho.

TO STOP COINAGE OF GOLD

Coinage Of gold in the United
State will be suspended for an in
definite period, if plans now form
ing in tn treasury department are
adopted. The idea is to issue gold
certificates for all gold bullion and
foreign coin turned into the mints,
instead of coming them into eagles
and double eagles. 1t is under
stood that Treasurer McClung in
his annual report will indorse the
plan. which was originated by A.
Platt Andrew, now assistant seer E.
tary of the treasury, when he was
director of the mint. Two reasons
for such step are pointed out.
The first is to save from $500, 600
to 100000 a year in mint ex-
penses. The second is to stop
coming gold at the expense of the
United States for the convenience
of foreign money markets, which
use it for the settlement of COM
mercial balances Tie Mining

AMERICAN EAGLE IS
. CAPTURED NEAR TOWN

Harry Muller. the man of mena-
gerie fame, has secured a valuable
acquisition to his already large
collection of curios. The new
addition is in form of a genuine
American eagle which was cap
tured on one of the ranches north
of town. The capture of the bird
was unusual. AS a party of men
were coming to town their atten-
ton was attracted by many black
birds flying around an object and
upon investigation it was discover
ed that porcupine and an eagle
were in deadly combat. Upon the
approach of the men the porcupine
made its escape, but the eagle was
unable to fly and its capture was
an easy matter. On being brought
to town it was discovered that the
mouth of the eagle was full of the
porcupine quilts and after the
quilts were taken out the King of
birds succumbed.
The bird measured seven feet
from tip to tip and is genuine
type of the American eagle. Mr..
Muller will have the bird mounted
by an expert taxidermist and it
will occupy conspicuous place in

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirly closed. Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

ELKO'S GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

A number of business men and
citizens gathered at Leonard Hall
last night TO meet a delegation
from Jarbidge to talk over con-
ditions in that camp and to discuss
means t. bring Jarbidge in closer
communication with Elko. Edgar
Reinhart presided and. Mr.. Nc
Bride acted as secretary.
Mr.. C. J. Nelson, representing
the Jarbidge Commercial Club,
made an interesting talk on the
res ources of the new camp as
shown by tie work already done,
the feeling of the people toward
Elko and the necessity for closer
communication between Jarbidge
and the railroad. He said that
last winter the people almost
unanimously favored Twin Falls,
Idaho, as their business point but
that the sentiment had changed and
that very large majority now
favored doing business at Elko or
some other railroad point. To
bring the business this way would
require the building of a good road
and a telephone line. A civil
engineer in the employ of the Jar
bidge Commercial Club was now in
the field sur veying different routes
and estimating the cost oe building
road from the camp to connect
with roads leading to the railroad.
He had no doubt of Jarbid ge
making good and suggested that a
committee be appointed from Elko's
citizens to go to Jarbidge and
investigate the resources of the
camp before investing money in
roads or telephone lines.
Mr.. c. G. Winter also spoke of
the conditions at Jarbidge and
corroborated what Mr.. Nelson had
said in regard to the need of closer
communication with Elkc and the
resources of the camp. He urged
the business men to reach out for
the trade that was now going to
Idaho. Prices were from 20 to 80
per cent lower here than in Twin
Falls and the business would come
this way if road was built into
Jarbidge.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Winter
talk, the suggestion of Mr.. Nelson
for the appointment of a commit
tee to go to Jarbidge and investi-
gate its resources was acted upon
and A. w. Hessop, w. T. Smith
and Jack Creighton were appointed
as the committee. Later in the
evening Commissioner Willis and
Mr.. Mcbride were added to the
committee.
Mr.. Nelson is soliciting sub
scriptions to fund to be used in
advertising the proven resources
of Jarbidge and he should meet
with generous response from our
people.
The business men of Elko should
bestir themselves to capture the
trade of Jarbidgc and surrounding
country. If necessary a fund
should be raised here to assist in
building road into that camp.
All reports agree that the camp
will make good and that large
volume of business will come this
way if an outlet is opened. Now
is the time to act.
