From the Marion Standard
 Whatever of enduring worth has been wrought in our great government, has been wrought through the power of pub lie opinion. This has ever been the main- spring of progress and the protector from impending disaster. The things that are in the hearts of the people have been more powerful than munitions of war and more enduring than material possessions. In the hearts of the people are the in- violable laws and the sole source of en- during government

THE WORLDS LUMBER KING.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
 Thomas B. Walker. who has been in- vestigating Pacific coast forests for many years, has returned to Minneapolis after an absence of six months, the holder of enough timber lands to give him the title of lumber king of the world
 In an interview Mir. Walker said that he had at last completed the work he started some four. or five years ago. He is now owner of a very large tract Of timber land in northwestern california, and intends to put in a railroad to haul out the lumber and supply the country, which is largely devoted to grazing of cattle and sheep. in the uplands and to grain and fruit growing in the valleys. The timber is sugar and white pine, and is the best that grows in any spot in the world. ffs
 Even if the timber which MT. Walker has purchased did not exist, the country is settled to an extent that would war rant the construction of railroad through it, and, vice versa, If the coun- try was not settled, the timber alone would make a railway profitable ven- ture. In this way it will be possible to conduct the affairs of the railroad with out competition.
 At Fall River Mills is a steady water power with a minimum equivalent to 5000 horsepower. The fall is about 80 fet with a variance of only six inches a year in volume. Other towns in the locality are Berne Valley, Jittsville Beaver, Alden, Alluris and Lake View. The railroad will extend from the Ore gon road, in the Sacramento valley, to Lake View. The construction will be comparatively easy for mountain road It can be built on 2 per cent grade at a slight cost and on 11k per cent grade with little more expenditure of money and time For carrying lumber there will be a down-hill haul, which will sim plify the question of transportation to a great degree, as there will be nothing but local freight to be hauled up hils.

CHARACTERISTIC OF THE
 USUAL MONEY SAVER

been sent to and deposited in Ireland. And now that she is old and feeble she wishes to use her surplus earnings, and we cannot help her
 A woman appeared at the paying tell- CTS window some time ago with book that had been mutilated beyond recovery. Erasures had been made and entries that were so palpabiy false that her book was sent to me for adjustment, and 1t leaked out in the course of my conver- sation with her that she had not one but pearly dozen pass books of accounts with different banks, all of which had been altered and dishgured by the man" to whom the books had been intrusted. Her thousands had been stolen by the one to whom she had given her life.
 A pawnbroker came to me during a run on the bank some time ago and de- manded the right of drawing out his money without the customary notice and to. strengthen his case said he was not only a depositor, but real estate owner and a borrower from us to the tune of several thousand dollars. By investigation I found that his loan was past due and pdyIuGHI III OEQef we might pay him; but he preferred to keep the money in his own pocket for his a per cent a month" rather than pay 1t out on the possibility of getting it back through the regular channels of the bank.
 The habit of thrift is often produced in simple ways. The wives of the great wage-earning class largely have the care of the earnings of the family. Many of them do their shopping mainly in the dis- trict in which this bank is situated For convenience and security they deposit these earnings from time to time with the bank, and as they make their purchases they withdraw the money needed, so that their accounts are active, and in one sense not properly savings bank accounts; but there is always small balance left over at the end of each six months upon which interest is credited. Many of these people, who have never caught the idea of saving before, seeing the gradual ac- cumulation, become possessed with the idea of increasing the amounts SO de- posted, and thus. in this unusual way, the habit of thrift is extending among thousands of families in this great city.

John Harsen Rhodes, in the washingtc Times

NM ANY a book might be written
 V about the idiosyncrasles of the savings bank depositor. He is always an interesting study, for he repre- sents nearly every variety of the genus homo Rich or poor old or young, by the very nature of his act of putting out his money at interest he becomes an In vestor and a man of thrift-a person of interest to both the philanthroplst and the financier.
 The passion for saving is often an ac- quired habit, and I have no doubt that l could pick out number of fulI- iedged mlsers from out list of deposltors who have become so from the gradual accumulation of their original deposits There are some people who love to hoard They go without food and clothing in or der that the entries in their bank book may grow in arithmetical progression.
 At the other extreme are those who come to the bank for a pastirne and re- gard the depositing and drawing of their money as a game, recreation. And be- tween these two there is a line that ln- ciuoes all classes, cases of jolly thrift and sorrowing poverty. of those who exult in their ownership and in their winnings, and those who eke out an ex- istence on the scant interest their little prinopal earns for them
 Out on the line there Is woman with shiny, patched dress. Her aristocratic hands are covered with gloves worn white at the seams Too feeble to work. she lives on the piainest fare in the most humble quarters. Her obligations are met with religious punctuality, and are paid for with the pittance she draws twice year from her interest account.

New York, Nov. 13.-It Is reported that

In the announcement that the Moore
Bros. had been compelled to throw over
board their holdings in North Western
the street found the key to the three
days of fierce raiding from which the
market has suffered. That John D.
Rockefeller and his allies had succeeded
in disposing, at least to their present sat-
isfaction, of the ambitious westerners was
cited as proved by the subsequent rapid
advance throughout the list.

THE NOMADIC LIFE.
The President Spends the Day Read
ing M. Jusseroud's Book
in French.
The Train Will Reach the Hunting
Grounds About 8 O'clock
This Afternoon.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 13.-The presi-
Dental train arrived here over the Illinois
Central at 9:20 this morning The train
was about fifteen minutes late. For
some distance this morning it was run at
speed OF over seventy miles an hour to,
make up the lost time. The president
was anxious to reach the hunting camp
this afternoon early enough to set into the
woods this evening and the schedule of
the train was fastened to meet his desire.
The train Is now due to reach Smedes,
Miss. at o'clock. The hunting camp
is about ten miles distant from there and
the remainder Of the journey will be made
on horseback. \ ~
The president has with him the hunting
outfit used by him for many years in his
hunting trips after big game inatfe neigh
borhood OF his ranch on the Little@ Mis-
souri,. In Dakota, and in the mountains of
Idaho, Montana and Colorado. 1t in
cludes fringed buckskin suit such as was
worn by the old wilderness hunter and his
favorite Winchester 1920. With this
weapon he has killed many of his hunt
ing trophies. 1t bears the interesting
scars Of one of his battles with cougar,
or mountain lion. In closing with a
wounded cat the president thrust the
stock into his mouth. It shows the teeth
marks of the enraged animal and the

hunting knife attached Most of the bull
let's are soft nosed but few of them are

While thus prepared for wilderness con-
ditions. it Is not probable that the presi
dent will don his buckskin suit unless he
finds that genuine conditions prevail
On the journey down here the president
has spent considerable portion Of his
time rea ding. one of the books in which
he is particularly interested being 1.-THE
Noradic Life" by M. Jusseroud, the new
French ambassador who Is to succeed NJ

Big Vote for Reelection and Condi-

tors in His Canvass.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Jamestown, N. D.. Nov. Ex-Governor
Frank White will be candidate to sue
coed Senator H. c. Hansbrough. The in
formation comes from a source that can
not be doubted. Governor Whites great
ajority of over $4,000 has shown that
he Is popular with the people, his friends
argue. and he will have good following
when the legislature meets to elect Sem
ator Hansbrough's successor.
1t is said the governor has received as
Isurances from numerous friends over the
state that his candidacy will be looked
on with favor. Added to this is the fact
that he is in favor with the powers that
have the say in republican circles in the
state. The failure of Colonel c. B. Little
of Burleigh county to secure the cleo
I ton of representatives favorable to his
senatorial aspirations has practically
killed his boom. and the candidates now
In the open are H. c. Hansbrough. the
incumbent. and M. N. Johnson, the ex-
congressman. Judge Cowan, having failed
in his own county, is not likely to- be con-
sidered.
Governor Whites friends consider the
heavy majority given him this year as
evidence that the people indorse his posi-
ton on the merger question and are
pleased with his administration. They
rely on his fine record in the Philippines
and popularity with the members of the
North Dakota regiment to help him. It
is pointed out that his majority this year
is the largest ever received by a candi-
date for governor in the state, and this
despite the strong opposition centered on
him by the democrats.
Another argument advanced in favor
of the governor is the business-like man.

promptly after having paid off large
