The truth of the remark on the occasional advis-
ability of contracting debts can be shown with much
COgenCy by reference to the French, the one hand
and the Americans the other. Your average
FrenChman has the greatest dread Of debts; Your
average American has, in that respect a heroic
courage. Accordingly, the average FrenChman will
and does descendnto minutieof thrift that are saved
from ridicule and contempt only by their touching
naiVete. He Will stint himself and his family to the
extreme, and never seriously think of riSking any
thing in enterprise of any sort. This national
trait of the French alone has been a most powerful
contributing to the of the totally bureau
Cratized state in France. For since the French
have little private initiative, for the reason Just
given, they love mighty State, provided it guar
antees them good per cent. the funds they lend
it. 1t is well known that the French State debt is
by far the largest in the world. The Americans on
the other hand, owe their amazing progress largely
to their courage in embarkng enterprises fed by
capital half their own, half not theirs.
Financial Honesty Pays Best
RCT whatever may may not be said in favor
~ of or against the contracting of debts by Young
elastic, and determined candidates of success II
remains true that at all ages and under all Circ11r
stances, financial honesty pays best. 1t has been
said of courage that it is the only thing that cannot
be simulated when properly put to a test. The
same may be said OF financial honesty 1t cannot
be simulated for any length of time and especially
IN countries where private finances practically
managed by public banks honesty, absolute honesty
IS the only possible way to lasting relations
These few remarks will be sufficient on a topic on
which, matter of fact, one needs special in
Structlon. We may now approach the consideration
OF other constants of success and in the first place
the great constant called education.
From whatever standpoint may consider this
powerful engine OF success; whether view it
historically, as 1t developed with the various
nations; or philOsOphicay, it ought TO be accord
ing to the latest systems psvchologv or practically
as 1t really has developed and exists the present
day-in every case come to the same conclusion.

boat, rammed a berg in 1907, and out of seventy
four men she was conveying to St. Pierre from St
Malo only ten got away from the shattered craft
in a Skiff without oars, sails and food, and OF
these six perished during the week they were adrt
before rescue came. When the schooner GOrgOn
was crushed in the foes in 1903 her eighteen men
established themselves on the ice with boats and
stores. and remained there for four days and
nights, until sighted by passing cargo-carrier.
Perils of the Dorymen
THE experiences of the dOrymen themselves are
perhaps even more remarkable than those of their
vessels When the fotas of the different COun-
tries are assembled on the Banks every season, in
quest of cod, halibut, haddOck, or maCkerel, the
scene is an animated one, with every type of sailing
vessel known to this age represented in the fleet.
When these men abroad on the deep, and fOgs
suddenly appear. they often find it impossible to
locate their vessels again, and Castaways the

T'HE third sPeciesof health. without which success
rarely be attained, is financial health
= Much has been said and written about a
subject universally interesting, and there is
lack of books giving the rules of thrift economy
prudent foresight, and similar homey but useful
qualities 1t IS, for instance, commonly believed
that debts are, to the famous phrase of the
German poet, the worst of sins and that any person
who does not live strictly within his her means
must in the end come to grief.
This, to speak seriously, cannot be entertained as
a general truth. There is such a thing being too
prudent; and more people have lost pounds by hug
gng pence too closely, than vice 1t is for in
stance, quite evident, not to say mathematically
certain, that he who spends trife too freely and,
say, for period of ten years, will during that time
spend superhuOusly varying two hundred to
one thousand pounds, according to his income. That
sum he has certainly lost; but mOre-rather less;
because by his generosity, hospitality, or general
easy going manners he may very well have made
friends who occasionally gave him an opportunity
of making money. On the other hand, the close
hsed discpinarian, or, still worse, the mser, who
has recoiled from spending penny a postage
stamp, unless he is absolutely obliged to do so;
such person, say, has missed hundreds of fair
opportunities in life, and while he has kept pence
he has lost pounds.

CROW LANDS ARE RICH.
One Million Acres i'm Montana to BE
Opened to Settlement.

According to advices at the interior
department plans for the opening of
the Crow Indian reservation in Mon
tana have so far progressed as to in
sure that the proclamation of the pres
ident will open this reservation early
in the fall. The exact date cannot yet
be given.
The reservation is to be opened un-
der the terms of the late homestead
mining and townsite laws, and will
throw open about 100000 acres of
land. The department officials say
that the Flathead reservation will not
be ready for opening before next
spring.
In commenting upon this important
intelligence the Butte Inter- Mountain
says: The news contained in the above
dispatch will be of decided interest to
the people of Montana and to many
residing out of the state who expect
to take a chance" when the drawing
for lands takes place. The land in
cluded in the portion of the Crow res
ervation that will be thrown open to
settlement is in the northern part now
included in Custer county.
For the most part it is rich bottom
land, susceptible to a high state of
cultivation. The Indians have culti-
waited some of these lands, but their
interests are chiefly stock growing.
Through portion of their reservation
the Indians have built extensive irri-
cation works. and the part that will
be now thrown open to settlement can
be irrigated without tremendous eX-
pense.
In general character the lands in
that portion of the reserve cores
ponds to the country in the Yellow
stone around Billings and Miles City.
These lands, where irrigated, produce
immense crops of alfalfa, and other
forage, together with grain, fruit and
all that may be grown in eastern
Montana, where the altitude is much
lower than i'm the central portion.
The opening of the reservation will
add to the Importance of all of the
towns on the Northern Pacific east Of
Billings and including that city. I'm
doubtedly several new towns will
spring up on the reservation, which
in time is destined to be one of the
richest sections of the state.

TaiIings Make Trouble at Wallace

The high water problem is still
proving source of annoyance. The
heavy bed of tailings in the river has
been cut away by the swift current
to a considerable extent, so that imme-
diately in the heart of the city the
water is lower today than it has been
for several days, although the volume
has not waned.
There is continuously, however, a
new supply of tailings washing down
stream and banking up in the lower
part of town, threatening danger. Yes

of miners under the direction of Street
Overseer Burton has been engaged in
blasting out the accommodating mass

FRISCO FACTORIES RUINED.
Many Foodstuffs Will Advance i'm Price
as Result of Earthquake.

The San Francisco disaster which
resulted in the destruction of all of
the wholesale and retail districts of
the Golden Gate city, will have an eff
feet on the markets of the Pacific
coast for some time, as it affected a
large number of staple articles of COM
merce that are distributed from there.
Among the other commodities be-
sides sugar, which comes first which
will be affected, are all varieties of
dried fruits beans, canned fruits and
vegetables. All of these staples were
distributed from the ruined city and
all of the factories from whence these
commodities came have been razed to
the ground.
1t is not thought that the price of
cereals will be affected. Although a
large number of cereal mills went
down in the ruins, the factories of Sc
attic, Tacoma, Portland and other
cities in the west can fully supply the
demand in this line.
Teas and coffees will probably not
advance in price. The big factory of
j. A. Folger & Co. was damaged very
slightly. Schillng5s Best plant was
practically destroyed. There are.
however, number of large coffee and
tea houses in the cities of Portland
and Seattle.
The northern staes may for a while
be shut off from receiving any of the
early California vegetables and fruits
as most of these things We're shipped
direct from San Francisco.
