On the subject of the prevailing
tightness in the money market and
high rates of interest George e
Roberts, director of the mint and
long prominent authority on ma
tional economic affairs, says the
stringent money condition al this
time is due to the immense demand
on transportation by manufacturing
and other industries. These interests
are extremely active. They are fast /
expanding and also profitable. but !
the railroads are unable to carry all
the tonnage offered. Railroads have
consequently sought to raise large
sums of money to extend tracks, add
to equipment and enlarge terminals
TO what Mr.. Roberts calls an alb
normal prosperity is due the fact
that railroads have issued new
stocks and bonds amounting to
nearly billion dollars. forcing UP
the rate of interest until the move
ment is checked At the same time
labor is scarce, wages are high and
materials of construction are eXpen-
sive, so that development in some
degree is halted Mr. Roberts looks
on the new railroad legislation as
a minor point in the situation. In
a word. he attributes the tight mon.
ey market to a prosperity so great
that supplies and facilities in some
measure have become congested.

 This latest acquisition is the speci- men obtained by the AlexandeT-Gos- ling expedition on the River Welle in the northernmost corner Of the Congo Free State, some hundred of miles from the nearest place where examples of the okapi have hitherto been found.
 The Welle species. as seen in the cleverly mounted specimens at South Kensington, is a good deal darker than the specimens from the Ituri and Semliki forests. and may turn out a distinct local race of the ami nal The Misunderstanding speci- men has a further interest attached to 1t in being the only one of the okapi captured by a white man first hand, all the other skins in Europe having been obtained through na- tives.-London Globe.

hict Watson is the Fairbanks candi-
date, just as Charles ". Miller, Of

Friends Of Beveridge also threatened
that If Miller was not given the NOM
