The Great Victoria Falls.

South Africa, that ''dark CONT
nent," which we knew as The Great
Unknown only few short years ago,
is no longer the land of mystery that
it was only few decades ago. Since
the intrepid DIR. David Livingstone
sacrificed his life in exploiting this
continent of amazing resources; since
James Gordon Bennett s memorable
and laconic "Find Livingstone lad
dressed to Henry M. Stanley, South
Africa has been the cynosure of the
world powers. To discover the most
magnificent and awe-inspiring scene
on the face of the earth-The Great
Falls of the Zambesi-was a fitting
reward for the heroism and selfsacri-
fee of the great Livingstone. And
that one achievement, aside from all
others, might well have made him feel
content to lay down his life. Since
the great discovery, the world has
heard only at intervals of this sub
lime spectacle. 1t has still been SO
inaccessible that writers and even
lecturers of travel have hesitated to
plunge into the vast, strange CONT
nent and therefore the public knows
only in a dim, vague way of the most
beautiful gem of the worlds scenery.

dangers that kept Others back, Lyman

tor his well.placed government depos-
its. Instead of making public depos,
its in the central reserve deposito'
ries, such as Chicago, he has favored
the institutions in the interior. BY
80 doing the money intended for the
specific purpose of assisting in the
of crops has not immedl'
ately flowed back to the eastern
banks, but has been absorbed in the
very localities where it could be ap-
piled to the needs and requirements
of the country banks, who are find
ing it possible to finance the move
ment of the crops of their localities as
never before. OF course there are ex-
ceptions to this condition in certain
localities, but in general the banks
throughout the middle west are in
clined to be optimistic, 1t is CON
servatively estimated that the three
states of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota will receive this year between
$50, 100000 and $75,000,000 more for
their crops than they received last
year, although it is a well-known fact
that they have grown and marketed
less grain. The same might also be
said of conditions in the central west
and southwest. Therefore, with such
state of universal prosperity beyond
the Mississippi valley, it is not at all
unlikely the investment demands in
that section of the country will be
the first to be received and appre-
ciated in the eastern markets. There
never has been a storm which hash t
cleared up.D

BruttLebOrO Local
BRATTLEBORO BOY
SAYS WEST is O. X.
G. Fred Childs After Trip Through
Great Agricultural Section Says
Prosperity Is Unchecked
Crops Better Than Ever.

Optimism throughout the northwest
as the result of great prosperity, con
tinuing without check, is the report
brought by C. Fred Childs, of Fisk &
Robinson, after trip through that
section, and reported in a recent IS
sue of the Chicago Evening Post.
''The question of the situation in
the investment market at the present
time" said Mr.. Childs, "seems to be
one for the public alone to solve rath-
err than one for the bond dealer to
analyze, and until there returns to
the minds of the investing public a
more normal state of confidence,
prophecies are of little Importance.
Nearly every idol of the prejudiced
investor has been overthrow and he
apparently hesitates to cast his an
chor anywhere in the existing storm.
In fact, and perhaps with reason, he
doubts his beliefs and believes his
doubts. 1t is noticeable, however,
that the pessimism prevailing in the
eastern market has not invaded the
great grain belt-the region beyond
the Mlssissippi-and perhaps this IS
best indicated by the prosperity OF
the country banks in the northwest
ern and southwestern states.
"The banks in reserve centers
throughout the middle west have I'M
doubtedly extended their credit to the
limit, and with the strong local de-
mands for their available funds they
have been less generous in supplying
their eastern correspondents with sub
stantial deposits. The same state of
affairs seems to have developed in the
relationship of the small country
bank with its central correspondent,
with the result that institutions in the
interior of the northwestern and
southwestern states are in a better
position to handle their local territory
alone than ever before. Another evil
dence of this fact may be found in
the increased demand by the smaller
banks for commercial paper, which for
the last thirty days has been very
noticeable. Furthermore, great
MANY of the national banks with q
small capital have been purchasing
current issues of railroad notes as
well as high grade railroad bonds at
their present attractive prices which,
up to this time, has been very unus-
ual. In spite of the fact that they
have enjoyed healthy local demand
for funds at about per cent, these
small banks have found that their de-
posits were equal to the demand.
Some of the most important institu-
lions in the northwest report that
their deposits now exceed any in their
history. We are advised by some of
our clients who had more tentative
arrangements with their Chicago and
New York correspondents to supply
them with funds which they antici-
pated might be required for the move
ment of the crops that thus far they
had found it unnecessary to avail of
their options, inasmuch as they are
finding it easier to meet their local
requirements this year than ever be-
fore.
"Perhaps a certain amount of cred
it for this state of affairs should be

A BUILDING AND LOAN ASso-
CITATION.
Steps Toward Forming One to Be
Taken Next Tuesday Evening.


The new industries committee of
the board of trade, to which the ques'
ton of more tenement aecommoda-
tions for Brattleboro was referred a
few weeks ago, decided at a meeting
held Tuesday evening to push the
project of building and loan asso-
citation for this town. In accordance
with this plan D. Eldredge of Boston
has been engaged to speak in the au-
ditorium Tuesday evening with re-
gard to these organizations. Mr..
Eldredge is man of wide and extend
ed experience in all that pertains to
building and loan associations. lie IS
treasurer of three cooperative banks
in the city Of Boston and is considered
the highest authority in New England
on this subject.
Brattleboro needs more bona fide
home owners instead of home renters
and the aim OF a building and loan
association is to bring about this con
dition. 1t will give the man of small
capital chance to build home and
pay for it as he goes along, But In
order to make successful an organlza-
ton of this kind it is necessary TO in
terest not only men who wish to build
but those willing to make a safe mon
ey investment on home security-an
investment that not only pays divi-
dends in money but also adds to the
welfare of the community.
1t is hoped that large number OF
people will turn out next Tuesday
evening to hear the building and loan
association idea outlined by Mr..
Eldredge. Brattleboro must have more
houses before it can hope to secure
new industries.

Editor Brattleboro Reformer:
Your timely editorial regarding the
proposed Y. NJ. C. A. at Rutland, copied
in the Rutland Herald, has been read
with much interest. wish to express
my appreciation of the catholic spirit
that suggested it. The words OF caution
are 50 well tempered that only a cap
tious person could take offense at the
warning given as to what to avoid, dan.
gers so many associations have suffered
from. Allow me to say that if the work
now under consideration is again inaug-
urated in the city of Rutland, as soon as
a new, up-to-date association building
can be procured. and which there is rea-
son to hope will be before 1910, the
breadth on which it is projected will not
disappoint the friends of the cause,
