ANGLO-FRENCH ENTENTE
HAS FINANCIAL SIDE

LONDON, June 1.-THE Angio-French
entente cordiaie has its financial as well
as Its sentimental aspect. How i'm
mense Is the financial side of the friend
ship may be understood rapidly from
the compendium Of facts and figures
upon the trade between the two coun-
tries which form the annual report just
issued Of the British chamber Of COM
merce in Paris.
France imported from the United
Kingdom last year for home consump-
ton goods which were valued at En-
109, 900. and England received from
France goods which were estimated at
e4S. 1874. 500. France buys more from
England than she purchases from any
other country. The goods France pro-
cures from the United Kingdom amount
now to II per cent Of her imports from
the whole world. and of the exports of
France considerably more than one
fourth (27.2 per cent? come 10 the
United Kingdom. French exports TO
England are more than double those to
Germany. and nearly five times those
to the United States.
France and England are the two
largest partners In the commerce OF
Europe since no other European country
manufactures that England requires.
nor does any other European people
utilize SO much as the French do OF the
produce of British brains and labor.
That Is the commerce side Of the entente
cOrdiale.

SELLING ORDERS NUMEROUS

NEW YORK, June 12-Wali Street
was disappointed today at the failure Of
the stock market to respond TO the APP
parently good conditions everywhere.
The financial district is beginning to
feel that tho Equitable life troubles are
just beginning. The refusal of Thomas

dence.
From surface indications, at least,
policyholders are worried more than

NEW YORK.

After Saturdays exhibition OF renew
ed vitality, it can scarcely be doubted
that the tendency of the markets Of the
present week will be inspired largely
by the unlocked for settlement of the
troubles of the Equitable. and should the
promise afforded by recent dispatches
be fulfilled and. Russia accept the me-
dtation OF the powers and authorize
oVertrres for peace. there need be little
hesitation IN forecaSting a consistently
upward trend for securities both at
home and abroad. The wave of reaction
which has swept over the market has
now lasted nearly three months, its be-
development of the first outward signs
OF trouble in the internal management
OF the Equitable. For a fortnight or
more the European marnets failed to
reflect accurately the disturbance IN the
local trading, fnanciers at transatlantic
cause OF the sudden spasmodic reactions
which We're of almost daily occurrence
II stocks at this center. At length, q
fair understanding of the situation
dawned upon European operators and
since Their the volume of trading in
died to Insignificant proportions. and
the weakness in the tone of our securi-
ties dealt in at European centers has
been a potent factor IN depressing the
home market. The fair prospect that
the present week Will witness not alone
table difficulties. but also the first. and
perchance hating steps on Russia

niShes the Surest prognostc that the

fessor of ecclesiastical history at the

to the students Of Georgetown Univer-

Manhood" as his topic, and outlined
from that text the obligations that
young men leaving college owe their

peal for high purposes IN life.
The speaker emphasized the fact that
too many men were slaves to the times
and In discussing this topic, said, in
part: The spirit OF irreverence has
become so familiar Il thing that it has
invaded our very homes. and our chill

God that we could honestly say that

Cody Gold Mine,

When Cody was but a myth, not was
even christened, some eight or nine
years ago, a mining company vas start
ed here, and rich paying deposits were
discovered along the banks of the Sho-
shone river between the present bridge
and the depot. A man named Hymer
spent several thousands dollars in con-
structing a ditch from near the present
site of the government dam. Heavy
piping was freighted from Billings at
vast expense. Engineers were sent
out, and for a time it was thought best
t o dynamite the granite sides Of the
25-foot canyon and with the wreckage
thus formed, construct q dam of suf1i-
cientheigth todeveloppower with which
to sluice the gold bearing strata Owing
to financial complications the project
was finally abandoned. At the present
efforts are being made to utilize the
waste power, and with free water, in
stall a system of hydraulic pipes, and
wash out the rich gold. Personally we
are not familiar with mining pos
sibilities, but those who are, assure us
that in the near future the known
prospects along the banks of the river
at this point, will soon equal, if not ex-

Farewell Mr.. Gilmore And Family.

Mr.. r. L. Gilmore, who for a long
time past has been a very valuable
citizen of Big Horn county, is en-
gagged in closing up his business
affairs in this vicinity preparatory to
moving himself and family to Red Bluff,
California, where he has purchased a
large fruit ranch and it is with regret
that we say farewell to these very
estimable people. for w know we shall
sorely miss them in the future. Mr..
Gilmore is a pioneer at heart apd

regions.

Washington, Sept. 20.-According to
an official estimate made by the gen.
eral land office the reclamation fund
June 80 last, was approximately $685.
600, 900. Estimates of amount contrib
uted by various states during the past
fiscal year, show declines as compared
with 1904, accept in W cases. This
decline is attributed TO the falling off
in timber business and the creation OF
large forest reservations.
Colorado, which u year ago contrib
uted $472,3 I9, this year contributed on
ly 1910, O60. Wyoming, ayear ago con-
tributed $325,2s3 and this year only
s2l3, o62. Idaho gave S493, 697 in 1904,
and this year S370,2S2, but Utah shows
an increase from S4S, ZIG in 1904 to $780,
ZIG and is the only state save Nebraska
which increased its contribution, based
on public land sales.
