AT OYSTER BAY MEETING
Wilhelm Now Out for Good Time in
Gotham.
VISITED CoNEY LAST NIGHT
Forenoon With Correspondence-Visit
to Hospital to See Sick saiIor-In
Financial District.

NEW YORK, August 29.-Prince Wilhelm
of Sweden and a party of his dinner guests
at the Hotel Aston saw everything worth
seeing and visited all the attractions of
Luna Park and Dreamland a Coney Island
last night. The prince declared that he
had not had 80 much fun for a long while.
The first news the prince received on aris-
ing today that John Person, one of the
sailors of the Fy!gia, had fallen overheard
from a landing float off West 10Th street
in the Hudson river and was nearly drown
ed After being in the water for nearly a
quarter of an hour the sailor was rescued
and taken to hospital. where Commodore
Lingberg soon visited him. The doctors in
formed the officer that Person would re-
cover if pneumonia did not result from his
immersion. On learning of 1t Prince Will
helm said he wanted to visit the sailor, and
it was arranged that he should do so at .
pm. today. After visiting the hospital the
prince planned to visit the points of interest
in the fina ncial district.
Sailor Bell is a protege of the prince and
is held in high regard by him Bell gave
the prince his first lesson in seamanship,
and his royal highness is naturally con-
carned about the condition of his tutor.
The crew of the Fylgia had hard fight
was very dark, and at first Bell could not
be located. He was pulled up with Crap
ping hooks. At Roosevelt Hospital 1t was
said that he was in pretty bad shape, but
would probably recover.
This afternoon twenty officers and ninety
men of the crew of the Fylgia will go to
the horse races at the Empire City track
guests of the track officials. The prince,
however, will not accompany them. He de-
voted the forenoon to his correspondence.
The prince was delighted with President
Roosevelt. with whom he had luncheon. and
he is quoted as having tod a prominent
felloW-countryman that he was much
prised to find the chief executive a man of
even greater rigor and enthusiasm than he
had pictured him. The President, the
prince said. also made him feel very much
at home and amazed him by his familiarity
with Swedish history and literature and his
interest in Swedish affairs.
Besides the visit to the Singer building
the princes program for today includes a
little riding about Manhattan in an auto
mobile, taking in Central Park and the Riv-
erside drive. and tonight he will be the
guest at banquet at Sherry's, arranged
for him by John A. Spergren, president of
the Swedish Chamber of Commerce

Dry Farming Congress.

The dry farming congress that will
be held in Salt Lake this winter
should be productive Of a great deal
of good for Idaho. Millions Of acres
of the Gem State are open to produc.
tive dry farming methods. Magnif-
cent success has attended this indus
try wherever tried, and each year sees
the addition to the cultivated area of
hundreds Of thousands of acres.
Down in the Minidoka tract, where
the settlers are patiently waiting
for the red tape department of the
national reclamation service to de-
liver water, scores of iron hearted
men are seeding their dry farms with
wheat and oats, reaping in many cases
a wonderful crop. Along the Short
Line in southern Idaho there are hun
dreds of thousands of acres of fertile
land adapted ideally to dry farming.
The same is true of the entire south
east, and especially Of the upper val
ley of the Snake. To learn something
about the science of dry farming,
many delegates from Idaho should
attend the Salt Lake congress. Poe

The Flow OF Gold

Deseret News: In times of normal
trade, the precious metals are export
ed as commodities from the countries
that produce them to those that do
not, and this movement of the metals
as bullion causes no uneasiness and
has no other significance than the
shipment of other merchandise of the
same value.
In times of stringency and panic,
gold is boarded, and it's export from
any country is then regarded with
apprehension.
When the money market is dis
turbed and men fear to lend money,
they charge higher rate of interest
or altogether refuse to lend. Banks
do the same thing Yesterday the I'M
erial bank Of Germany demanded the
highest rate of discount 1t has ever
charged-7h per cent-in order to
discourage it's patrons from shipping
gold out of the kingdom. The Bank
of England and that Of Paris have
taken similar action.
And yet it is not gold, but conf
dence, that is needed. The supply of
gold is never sufficient to do the
money work of the world. Credit is
the effective means whereby the
worlds commerce is conducted, and
is at all times much greater in
amount than the worlds stock of
gold coin. Restore confidence, and
the gold and silver can do all the
work. Destroy confidence, and there
is not, and perhaps never will be
enough of the precious metals to do
the work, Of exchange.
Everything that conduces to conf
dence increases the working power of
the precious metals and of the certifi-
Gates or checks based upon them. If
people could only understand that
confidence will prevent furry or
panic, they would not do anything to
weaken confidence, as by Withdraw
ing their money from circulation.
A feasible plan of increasing the
medium in times of strin-
gency is a problem not fully solved
In any country. and perhaps less full
ly solved in our own than in several
states. There is much room
for improvement in regulating the
supply of the current money Of the
realm, as we'll as in the needless ex-
citability Of the people.
Most Of the panics have their ORR
gin in the groundless fears and sense :
less action of thse whose money is in
banks, in foolishly starting to run on
the bank in which they have money. Z
