Seven Million Savings Bank Acc
counts.

The number of depositors in the say.
ings banks of the United States has
doubled in the last seventeen years. The
total amount of their deposits has in
creased from 1925 ,247,37l in 1887 to
81 935, 2O4 ,s45 in 1908. The statistics for
1903 show 7 ,3O5 ,22s individual depositors
and the increase in the average of indi-
vidual holdings since 1887 is little more
than 10 per cent.
Special students of this phase OF our
national life find it impossible to classify
the depositors with accuracy, but their
general conclusion ia that one-half of
the amount deposited represents the
savings Of the wage earning class. The
figures not only show an increasing
prosperity among those Of small incomes,
but also indicate an increasing frugality.
The rich may be getting richer, but the
standard of living for all is higher than
ever before, and the so-called poor
have unquestionably grown richer as
well as their more fortunate fellow
countrymen. The cry of the rich grow
ing richer and the poor growing poorer
is to-day only the wall Of the unscrupu-
lous demagogue.
The Bankers Monthly for August pre-
sents some interesting figures. 1t shows
that out of the total deposits Of the entire
country, 1875 per cent are in the State
Of New York; 2o.6 in the county Of New
York; and that twelve savings banks in
the county of New York hold HIS per
cent. of the entire national deposit in
such institutions.
The report Of the Comptroller Of the
Currency for 10000 shows the average
amount of individual deposits in differ
ent sections Of the country. as follows:

Aterdos to
zach deposition.

The part Of this grand total of deposits
which may be credited to the wage
earning class by no means represents
all of the savings Of that group. The
building and loan associations, with
total assets of more than $500, ZOO, 600, are
favorite form of investment for many.
Personal boarding, life insurance, and
even modest investment in stocks and
bonds, are other channels Of accumula-
ton. In country towns and in small
cities there are many wage earners who
own their homes.
All this is evidence of the extent to
which the wage earners Of the United
States have shared in o'r national pros
perity.

CHAMPIONS SETTLE RS CAUSE.
Bede Appeals to President From De-
partment Swamp Land Ruling. ~

~@ partment Swamp Land Ruling.
"A Washington special, April %, to the
News Tribune says:
Congressman J. Adam Bede sent
personal letter to President Roosevelt
tod1y bearing on the recent ruling #
tue secretary of thu interior regarding
swamp lands in northern Minnesota,
wht / in it is held that al contests as to
whether or not lands are swamp or agri-
cultural must b determined by the
field notes of surveyors.
Mr. Bnde's statement Is of most serl-
Gus import, for the matter is one #
great i'm ortance to thousands of set
tiers He claims that an executive
officer cannon set aside an act of con-
gress. Mr.Bede says in part:
If the order of the secretary of the
interior is enforced a great many bona
tide homesteaders must lose their lands
with the improvements they have made
thereon.
Can the ruling of this department
take FROM a citizen his rights under
an act of congress? Had this ruling
applied only to past surveys it would
not seem so harsh, but to decide in adj
vance that whatever field notes shall be
made by any surveyor-perhaps uaborn
regardless of blunder, malice. or
caprice, must be conclusive, even though
he has traversed only the section ]ines
and has never actually seen the lands,
and that all Lying human testimony
must be excluded, though cloud Of
witnesses appear, is to do violence to
every sense of justice and to rob c,ti-
zen of his fundamental right to the tes-
timony Of lis neighbors and the judy
ment of his peers
"As all desirable surveyed lands are
mmediately taken, this order is prac'j-
calIy a repeal of the homestead law in
Minnesota, for set tiers will rot go In
and make improvements if field notes to
b. made afterwards-and made without
|
Of the lands-can GUST them from their
CLAIMS.
Il trust it may not be invidious to
eugg' st that these settlers, Drawing al
Ethe hardsbips of frontier life, are the
kind Of citizens that make and save d
country, and that, however humble they
may be, they have rights which our gov
eminent should respect. Some have
come from N 'rway, Sweden, Finland
Germany and other countries to find
homes among ne. But it was the same
class of settlers who, coming to this
country and settling in the moth and
west half a century ago, made it possible
to preserve the union.
Il ask only that the government keep
faith with these people under an act OF
congress and that the department
modify it's order to the end that snch
law be observ, a."

At the council meeting Monday even.
ing an ordinance to restrain cattle, hors-

introduced but was laid on the table.
Stock running at large is the source of
much ANNOYANCE. particuiarly to those
who try to raise gardens of any kind;
but on account of local conditions that
make 1t impossible to herd stock the
conncl! is in qnandary what to do to be
fair to all. Without restraining ordi-
nance people must fence their garden
patches. But owners of gardens are
not the only ones to be considered, and

sarily upon the public simply bee 1use 1t

REINDEER EXPEDITION.

Alaskan Trip for Uncle Sam.
HedIey Redmeyer of Tofte, this
county, has accepted an offer from the
U. S. Government to go to Alaska On
another reindeer expedition; and he is
arranging his business affairs here with
the intention Of leaving the latter part
of June. After visiting with his parents
near Seattle couple of weeks, accompa-
MED by two Fin'anders who have lad
former experience and their families, he
will 60 to Bethel Mission on tue Susko-
win river, where the Government has
corral OF Siberian reindeer to be taken to
the interior. From there they will take
A herd of 800 head across country 1900
miles to Copper Center, on the Copper
river. Mr.. Redmeyer will have charge
# the expedition. They will start from
Bethel in November.
The raising of reindeer in Alaska,
which was intrt duced ly the Govern
ment as an experiment in 1892 has prov
on great success, Beginning with. a
herd of 20 then, there are now over 1000
head distributed among the various
missions throughout the territory. The
work is carried on under the supervision
of Dr.. Sheldon jackson, U. s. general
agent of education 10 Alaska.
The purpose is 10 provide means of
subsistence for the natives of that coun-
try to take the place of fishing aud other
natural sources of food supply, which
are rapidly depicting leaving the people
more or less destitute.
Esklmos and Indians are taken into
th Sc missions and given three years
course of training in the raising and
handling of reindeer. They are then
given possession of a certain number
under fve-year contract to care for
them and return the same number t.

purposes and as beasts of burden.

that trip Is an interesting one.
When the Government decided on the

He expects to be gone at least year
