T IS OFFICIALLY STATED by the General Passenger Agent of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad that 74,630 tourists visited Colorado last year, 50,000 having been booked for that State from the East and. the remainder taking advantage of stop-over privileges. He says further that each of these tourists spent an average of $20 in thé State, making a snug total of nearly $1,5,000,000. The exact number.of tourists who visited California last year has not been officially given, but a conservative estimate would place it greatly in excess of the above figures, as well as the amouut of money spent. Heretofore Southern Cali fornia has enjoyed the principal benefit ensuing from this yearly influx of Eastern tourists which, by the way, is constantly increasing as the years go by. How this has been accomplished and why such great results has accrued to the lower section of the State is no difficult problem to solve. Eleven letters of the alphabet explains it in a very simple manner—ADVERTISING. Southern California spends over $100,000 yearly for advertising her resources and facilities she has to offer for home-seekers, and her investment has proven to be a big paying one, which fact has never been disputed. Northern California has spent the fat sum of $5000 during the pasi TWO years to accomplish the same ree sults and yet the people of this section wondex why homeseekers and tourists do not flock here as fast as they do in the lower part of the State. What can we expect? Or, putting it a little plainer, what do we expect for nothing? This coming spring and summer tourists will flock to this State in greater numbers than ever before, and it is time for Northern California to be waking up out of its lethargy and bestirring itself, if it is desirous of getting a fair share of this tourist trade. Nevada County should “get a move on” just as much as any other county in this section. We certainly have the natural advantages of climate and scenery to attract the tourist and as.an additional attraction for homeseekers.we.can present extra inducements as our county’s resources are many and varied. Nevada County turns out more bullion than any other county in the State, and is the most accessible mining district where all classes of mining can be seen and engaged in by tourists who wish to make a good investment. Our facilities for those wishing to engage in fruit-raising and farming are also first-class. Let our people reach out for tourists and home-seekers and induce them to come here. If this won't do it the TRANscRIPT will take steps and see what arTangements can be made with the Railroad Company for bringing excursionists here during the summer. All the advantages that could be combined in any one place amount to nothing unless the people who desire to use and enjoy those advantages find out that they really exist, and where they are. To this end persistent advertising is necessary. It is not enough to spend a thousand dollars\in one week or one month, and then fold your hands or go fishing. The effort must be a‘ continuous one--every month, and week, and day in the year. It is not necessary, in all cases, to have expensive pamphlets, on costly paper and with a profusion of half-tones. Such are for the wealthy tourist alone. _ But the ordinary tourist, the business man off for a vacation, possibly looking for a new location, and those who come here as tourists but who are really looking fora place where they can better their condition, both physically and financially, want plain, direct, straightforward facts and figures about material things. Wehave been dead long enough, so to speak, and it is time we showed some life. @ae4ee*44444646 ‘The Sugar War. HE BRUSSELS CONFERENCE which asgemb ed to consider a proposition to abolish bounties paid on exports of sugar has failed to come to an agreement acceptable to all the bounty-paying governments. The result.of the failure will probably be the imposition of countervailing duties by Great Britain and France. While France has paid bounties on exports of sugar, it was ready to join in a movement to let the sugar industry .stand on its own footing. Great Britain has found profit in the cheapening of sugar which resulted from the bounty system. For some years it has imported sugar at less than the cost of production. The cheapness of sugar in England has giyen an impetus to.the fruit-preserving industry, but it has ruined the sugar industry in several of the British colonies, whose main article of export was sugar. As the United States has for some years imposed, in addition to the regular duty on sugar, a tax equal fo the amount of bounty paid by the different countries, it is not a matter of great importance to our people whether sugar bounties are paid or not. But the fact that the market of the United Kingdom was supplied with sugar at léss than the cost of production has had a bad effect upon that industty in Cuba. The reduction in duties on Cuban sugar by the United States has been urged on the ground that Cuba could not compete with the sugar from countries which paid a part of the cost of production. If the British Government should act promptly in the imposition of countervailing duties the Cuban crop for the last year would find a ready market in the United Kingdom. ; a Supervisors. your life and that.is through an pperage were the startling words heard y Wis., from her doctor after he had vainly tried to cure her of a frightful case of stomach trouble and yellow jaundice.

The mine is of fair-value, but the idea of float ing it for such a large-fignre is simply preposterous.
