BreRkers Ahead.

Although America is now enjoying an
era of unbounded prosperity, there are
ominous danger signals flashing across
the horizon that foreshadow, unless
brakes are applied, the most disastrous
financial panic this country has ever wit
messed. Uncle Sam is literally sitting on
the safety valve while the furnace under
the boiler is being crammed with explo.
sive fuel.
Within less than FIVE years ten billions
Of over-valued securities have been emit
ted and planted like torpedoes and sub
marine mines in the financial sea, by
the captains of industry, and hundreds
Of millions more Of these inflated securi.
ties are being fabricated every week to
be deposited in the vaults of trust com
! panies, life insurance panies, savings
banks and banking concerns of every
description. At least $4,000, 100000 of
unadulterated water injected into Amer
| lean railroads is Classed among the valu-
| able securities held as collaterals and
investments by life and fire insurance
companies, savings banks, peoples de-
positories and educational institutions.
IN the state of Massachusetts alone $S45,-
! $50 93S in railway securities are held in
trust and as collateras in public deposit
tories, and S442,354,Os6 Of these securi-
ties are held by savings bank deposito-
ries Of six states.
What will the outcome be if this pro-
cess Of initiation and over-cs pitalization
keeps up? What would the outcome be
if thousand kegs Of dynamite were to
be set Off under the New York Stock ex.
change? With all its accumulated
wealth and vast resources this country is
sure to experience a terrific shock from
center to circumference whenever the
tension to which this fabric of credit has
been exposed shall have reached its
limit.
Under ordinary conditions one great
financial panic occurs at least once in
every twenty years. This accounted for
the panics of 1887 and 1857, and the
limit of the tension created by the civil
war was reached in 1873 four years ear
lier, to be followed again by the twenty
year period which terminated in 1898
Under the law governing these CONNER
cial cyclones the next panic will be due
by 1913, but it may come sooner if the
captains of industry are not summarily
stopped in their efforts to float dynamite
torpedoes and submarine mines in the
| financial sea.-Omaha Bee.

distinct and definite purpose of the For

utilizing the material that is now fit for
lumber. In doing 80, it will also pro.
vide for the reproduction of the forest
and the restocking Of those areas upon
which forest conditions are defective
Work Of this kind has been successfully
carried on for some years in the Black
Hills Forest Reserve, and has been be-

on the lands of the Chippewa Indians
in northern Minnesota, from which it is
proposed to create another National re-

The public in general, and lumbermen
in particular, will be interested to know
that in this last case the restrictions i'm

Mining Items.

ing the work ofremoving the water from
the Gertie shaft and drifts near Hill
City. The undertaking will require
some time yet, possibly a month, by
which time the mill now in course Of
construction will be in readiness for
operation and then it will be determined
whether or not the ore from the Gertie
will be of sufficient value to warrant
working the property. The Gertie is be-
lieved to be one Of the best tin prospects

Considerable interest is being mani

Info rmation comes from Washington
that the mature timber on the National
forest reserves is TO be offered for sale.
This announcement is in line with the
declared purpose of the Department of
Agriculture to develop the National for
est reserves by use. The restriction for
merly laid upon the export of timber
from the States in which the forest re-
serves we're located has been removed,
and the law now places no limitation on
the shipment of timber grown on any
forest reserve except those in the State
of Idaho and the Black Hills forest re-
serve in South Dakota. The effect OF
this change in the law, and the declared
policy Of the Department of Agriculture,
is that the timber on the reserves may
now be cut and disposed of to the high
est bidder. On many of the reserves
there are great quantities of mature tim
Der, and on some of them the facilities
for getting it out at reasonable cost are
excellent. The Forest Service, which
has charge Of the administration of the
reserves, is anxious to begin the cutting
| of this mature timber as soon as possi-
ble, and it is prepared to consider offers
/ from lumbermen who wish to undertake
such operations.
1t is perhaps well to call attention tc
the fact that this announcement does
not mean that the forest reserves are so
ing to be devastated under authority o
the Government On the contrary, th'
