NO BONDS,

some OF the advocates Of the bond is
emo ,ell MS that we must borrow money
ito enable the City 10 keep up win
the citizens" That is convenient way
OF saying. practically, that the citizens
must borrow 100000 to keep up with
themselves. Whether that Is good pol
ley depends entirely on circumstances
Sometimes 1t may be good policy TO
borrow money; oftener it Is not
But one important reason why the
citizens should not borrow money az
this time Is this, that they have no rea-
son to believe that the money VIII be
spent for the purposes for which 1t IS
asked On the contrary, they have
every reason to believe that II viii be
used TO cover up past extravaganza
and possible wrong doing. and in the
furtherance of party interests.
The citizens know very well that the
majority of the City Council is com
posed of men who, no matter how wor-
thy they personally may be, are not
free TO serve the city, but are mere
dolls under the control of the manipu
Iators behind the screen.
II is very true that Salt Lake has
every advantage for becoming large
and important city. 1t has been kept
back. somewhat, by the insane policy of
ofiice-hunters who have made fanati-
cism and bigotry the stepping stones
upon which to reach the goal of their
ambition. But the advantages are such
that the City has grown TO its present
size, Notwithstanding the contemplate
falsehoods that have been circulated
by the ofIice-hunters and their allies
II. however. the desire Is that Salt
Lake shall come to its full rights, the
insane strife must cease. Unity, har.
mony. and good feelings must he re-
stored. It is time enough, then, to
talk about how much money is needed
for improvements.

A WEALTHY INDIAN.

Lon Hin of Harrington, Tex, is be-
lieved to be the richest indian in the
world. The Kansas City Star estim-
ates his fortune at $6Oo0,O0O. Ac-
cordlng to that paper. he owns more
than 800, 600 acres of the best land in
tho Rio Grande valley Every foot OF
it can be irrigated. At the rate which
other land in this section of the same
character is selling, $40 per acre for
this 500 900 acres would not be an ex-
ccssive figure.
Lon Hill, the Star says, is proud of
his Indian blood and a stranger is not
long in his presence before the fact is
made known by Mr.. Hill that he is an
Indian This Indian has been able to
take care OF himself" he will say. II
never have received anything from
the government and am not expect
ing anything" The marvellous thing
about the great fortune which Hin
now possesses is that he has accum-
ulated 1t all during the last six years.
He located at Brownsville, twenty-five
miles below Harrington. little more
than six years ago. That was before
a railroad had been built into the reg
ion When he had got well settled in
the border town this progressive In
dian began the work of interesting
capital to build railroad to the place
and as each mile of track was COM
pleted the land adjacent thereto and
into demand for farming purposes
and its value doubled, trebled and
quadrupled In a short time. In the
meantime Lon Hill was buying more
land and loading himself UP with OPP
lions to purchase stiIimore The land
which he had bought for 81 and $3.50
an acre went to IS an acre before the
railroad had reached Brownsville.
When the line was finished and tho
influx of investors and home-seekers
began. land values mounted higher
and higher.
This Is an interesting story. 1t Is
not so very long since the Indians were
regarded as savages. Today some Of
them have risen to eminence In Vari-
Gus directions, The gulf between
savagery and civilization is, evidently,
not so wide as some have supposed

SAVE AND INVEST.

A savings bank is one of the best
teachers OF economy. Edward A. Har-
per, editor of the Financial World, says
it is primary, grammar and high
school trainer in the use of money.
1t is great pity that our country
has not that necessary adjunct to civ
ilization, the postal savings bank, so
that Ill people of moderate means
might have before them a constant re-
ninder and Involvement to save.
TO save money Is the first step and
the hardest one for most people to
take. The average person so much
likes to spend. even to squander his
earnings. that the habit of saving is
somewhat difficalt to acquire.
After the saving comes the invest
ing. Money saved but not invested is
only Moderately productive, and
though It rays the average man we'll

Passing to the matter OF investment
In other enterprises, three basic prin-
ciples are given FOR success. They are
summarized as follows;
~ Invest with honest men.
20 Invest with men of sound judg
ment.
sd Invest under conditions where you
receive your full proportional quota OF
what your money actually earns.
To these Mr. Harper adds two per
