seuuent Industrial decentralization. But a
new influence has been at work in re-
cent years to mitigate the usual penalty
for speculative excuses and exhausted
credit. Through the addition of 1363mil-
lions to the lawful money reserves, our
banks were enabled to add II billion
to their deposits and, by an augmenta-
ton of 1874 millions in capital items,
thus permitting an increase in loans and
investments of nearly 2 billions after
the middle of September, 1902, The
recent steadily increasing money sup
ply will the mint director observes,
account for the renewed and sustain
ed activity which has been so marvel
ously shown since the above period of
depression. 1t would seem, therefore
that with our augmented gold stock
and the promise for its further expan-
sion, there is good foundation for ex-
pectations of continuance of pros
porous conditions, though the demands
upon capital may be fully as great in
the immediate future as in the recent
past
The worlds production in 1906 eX-
ceeded 400 millions, and possibly
reached 410 millions, against 376 mill
ions in 1905. Not only was the increase
in the output large in South Africa,
where the record production before the
Boer war was exceeded, but the output
in the country, for the first time in our
history, reached 100 millions, gain of
about 20 millions compared with 1905
The director estimates that outside
this country and South Africa gains or
losses in gold produc tion last year will
just about offset each other There
seems to be a good basis for the ex-
pectation that the Transvaal output
will be further augmented in the cur
rent year. 1t has lately been held
somewhat in check because of deficien-
cies in labor, but the demand for the
metal, especially in England, is so
great that the British government
may be inclined to recede from its
position on the labor question and CON
sent to the employment of natives or
Chinese in order that there shall be
every facility possible extended for the
metal in that teri. tory. The prospects
for a further import increase in gold
production in the United States APP
pears to be excellent. New railroads
are being constructed in Nevada which
will stimulate exploration and develop
ment of mines and facilitate transpor-
tation of the ore, thus cheapening the
cost of production; the director there
fore estimates that the output in 1907
in Nevada will double that of last year,
probably reaching II millions. Alaska
also promises further gains in 1907.
Capital is being invested in mining en-
terprises in that territory in large
amounts, new and effective methods of
mining and treatment have been intro
duced and in other ways energetic eff
forts to promote production are being
prosecuted; the results of these new
facilities were shown last year in a
largely increased output, and even
more satisfactory..results are looked for
in the near future.

the day previous, had stretched until
they had to be shortened. But the
visitors did not seem to mind, and we
enjoyed their company.
And there were lot of them, many
more than a hundred. Thirty-three
ladies whose names were obtained will
receive printed calling cards as soon as
they can be turned out. 1t was the in
tention to print as many as possible
during the reception. but this was pre-
vented by the way the machinery didn't
work. The coming week the cards will
be ready for delivery. Some of them
go out of town TO addresses that are un-
certain. and If these do not reach their
destination on time the ladies will confer
favor by giving notice To that effect

Adjoining the American Falls
Townsite.


American Falls is TO have park on
an island in Snake river. The island
adjoins the townsite and is less than
half mile from the business part of
town, and embraces about twenty acres.
The brush is being cleared from the is
land and extensive improvements are
planned The entire island will be
parked, planted to shurbbery and shade
trees, interspersed with summer and
fall fruit trees, and seeded TO grass.
Rose bushes and flower beds will add to
the natural beauty of the island, which
is surrounded by wide channel of the
river on either side. Boats will convey
people 10 and from the park.
Among the Improvements will be a
large dancing pavilion and large num-

aggregate several thousand dollars.
Many of the larger trees on the island
may be allowed TO remain for shade
