BANKS NEEDED
IN SOUTH AMERICA NOW

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The cry
ing need of American interests in
South America is the establishment
OF American banks, according to
Paul S. Reinsch, of the University of
Wisconsin, who recently returned
from the Pan-American conference
at Buenos Ayres, Argentine.
I'VE have the business" said
Prof. Reinsch, land now we need
banks to accommodate American
firms doing bushes in South Ameri-
ca. The banking methods prevailing
IN South American cities are extreme
ly slow and antiquated. They would
quickly be forced aside should an
American bank enter into competi-
tion with them.
AT present, the only method of
exchange is through London or 9TH
er European financial centers, a
most roundabout and announcement
system for American shippers. The
banking business IN South America
is practically entirely in the hands of
foreigners. In Buenos Ayres, for
example, outside of the Natinal Bank
OF Argentine, all the other banks are
owned by foreigners. There are sew
eral British banks, an Italian bank,
German banks, French banks, and so
on"
Prof. Reinsch's views are shared by
Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh,
who in his annual report submitted to
urges legislation which will
permit national banks in the United
states to establish branches in for
egn lands. This attitude is endorsed
by officials of the State Department.

OLDEST HOMESTEADER
In SOUTH DAKOTA

Hayes, S. D., Dec. 2S-Editor
Sioux City Tribune: I read in your
paper of homesteader who was be-
tween 70 and 80 years of age, and
who made proof on a quarter of
land and for whom it was claimed
that he was the oldest homesteader
west of the river.
A homesteader, Christian Chris
Hanson, aged So years, recently made
proof before me. He made the
round trip of 40 miles in one day to
make his proof. His claim is about
40 miles from the nearest railroad
town, and he seems to be strong and
healthy and may easily be good for
another IS years.
Yours truly,
ALFRED NICHOLS.

Impressed With the Coming Greatness
of St. Andrews Bay.

Editor National Tribune: During a
recent trip thru the South 1t was my
fortune to visit ST. Andrews Bay, the
location of your new colony, and l was
most fayorably impressed with its pos
sibilities. The Gulf of Mexico is to play
the same part in the Western World
that the Mediterranean has in the old.
The older Mediterranean has pretty
we'll had its day. Italy, which extends
into the Mediterranean, was long the
center of the worlds greatest activity.
Florida in the new world has waters
similar in command of things that Italy
enjoys, and in the great drama to be
enacted in coming years our peninsula
must cut an equally important figure.
st. Andrews Bay is the largest and
deepest harbOr on the Gulf Coast, and
on its shores must rise a commanding
city, TO whose wharves ships will come
from every country. Back of 1t there
is population now reaching well up
to lO0,000,O00 people, among whom is
ditiused more activity and intelligence
than is found in any other Nation on
the face of the earth. 1t is this people
that Is now engaged in connecting the
waters of the Atlantic and Pacific by
canal, the Panama, which must be-
come great artery of commerce. st.
Andrews Bay is the only large and
well-sheltered harbor the American
people have tributary to this canal.
There is already one railroad reaching
the Bay. and others. are in course of
construction. The u. s.. Government
has realized the Importance of the Bay,
and the last Congress appropriated q
quarter of a million dollars to improve
the channel and connect it by canal
with {: river system which must bring
a vast amount of inland trade to the
harbor This alone ought to build up
a big place. To judge the possibilities
of this locality by what has been done
but think that the individual who
makes an investment there and joins in
the improvement will profit largely by
SO doing. do not think l am too op-
timistic in this view, and friends to
whom l have talked are beginning to
believe that my conception of the New
South is not Overdrawn. Yours truly

Pensions.

VIM l. Ham, 9Th Me, Brunswick,
Me, enlisted April 19, 1861, and served
until Aug. Is, 1865, in four different
armies. His wife had five brothers In
the Union army, one OF whom lost an
arm, one was shot thru the lungs and
one was promoted for bravery. There
were cousins and unclcs without num-
Der. Now they are all gone, and he and
his wife are just able to totter around,
and he thinks $12 month is too little
TO pay rent and keep up their house. II
there could be an advance, they would
not walk into store and whisper mild
" that they would like TO be trusted
until next pension day, but they would
slam down on the counter and speak
loud enough for anyone to hear, Give
me five cents worth OF your best Indian
meal" and walk out with all the au-
dacity of a millionaire.
A. s. Holiday Saith ILL.,. Creston,
Iowa, thinks that the action of the
Pension Committee in the National En-
campmont was unexpIainable. The
Pension Committee has not kept in
touch with the wants of the comrades
all over the country. The National
Tribune pension bill is the best of all,
and he heartily indorses il.
William II. Birge, Franklin, Pa, be-
lieves that there are so, 900 or more old
veterans on the pension roll that do not
need an increase of pension. for the rea-
SON that their income is such that they
do not need a pension. There is no
more use in increasing these pensions
than there is to add another million
dollars to John ID. Rockefeller's wealth
William H. Mentzer Hazleton, Pa,
says that the action of the Encampment
in favor OF rating of st5 at Sc. $40 at
10 and s25 at rs. is not to the minds
Of the veterans there. They prefer a.
rating OF 3iS at &C. $25 at 20 and $50
