ings brought to our doors not only by
the daily papers but also by the NOV
ing-picture show. Great events like
the goings and comings of Roosevelt
will be trailed across the land by the
moving picture m with the new
sound recording attachment. We shall
hear the putting of the locomotive, the
rattle of the wheels, the shrieks of the
whistles and the shouting of the multi
tude. People will get to depend on the
show and thus will save car fare.
Many man who wanted to 60 to Reno
consoled himself with the thought that
he would see it all for nickle in the
moving pictures. The fact that the
police have interfered with his pleasure
doesn't alter the principle. History
can thus be stored away in rolls to be
looked at and listened to long after it
has taken it's place in the past. What
a wonderful thing it would be if the
children of today could see Mrs. Bob
Fitzsimmons at the ringside and could
hear her shout: ''Hit him in the Stats,
Bob!"-Chicago News.

DAWN HOMES
TO BUY AUTOS
thousands Of Mortgages for Automobiles
I,S Up Millions Of Dollars in West in
that thousands of Farms and City
Homes Are InCumbered for
This PURPOSE.

An extended inquiry has shown that
there are upward of 400, 600 automobiles
in the United States, says the Baltimore
American, the same beng approximate
ly valued at $780, 1000, 900. 1t is esti-
mated that one-half of this vast sum is
in auto vehicles for commercial purposes
and actual utility to replace the work
of horses, but that the other $500, 600, 900
is invested in autos for pleasure, out
door sport and luxurious living.
The inquiry, covering a period of
five years, shows tremendous growth
in the automobile industry. 1t also
shows that there is desire on the part
of great number of persons to own
automobiles even at the expense of
their haangs.
In the Middle West, Far West and
parts of the South the inquiry shows
that large percentage of automobiles
have been purchased by people upon
mortgages given on the vehicles or their
homes.
In Minneapolis, it is reported, one au-
tomobile firm holds mortgages on 1, 800
homes. In Wisconsin the mortgages
on autos and other property for the
purchase price are estimated at $4,000
900. Nebraska has SO, O00,O in mort
cages based on auto purchases; in Kan
sas the estimate is $4,000,000 in the
last three years. The money tightness
in Iowa is charged to the same condition.
In Indianapolis more than 1000 persons
are reported to have given mortgages
recently to buy automobiles. In Wy
oming only per cent of auto purchas-
ers are represented by mortgages, but
it is reported that Is per cent of the
purchasers are persons W cannot
afford the luxury.
In the East the reports indicate that
there are fewer mortgages, and in
thrifty New England the custom does
not appear in the records. From the
Western and Southwestern sections and
in some parts of the East reports show
that the bankers and other financial in
terests are refusing accommodations to
borrowers for the purpose of purchasing
automobiles. A bank officer in Newark
said that the savings banks have been
losing deposits from automobile pur-
chasers. In one of the suburban dis
tricts of New York it is reported there
has not been a single transfer of house
property in four months, which ia at
tributed to the heavy purchases of autos
in that section.

9O,OOO,OOO ACRES
OPEN TO PUBLIC
Officials AT Washington Claim West Will Be
Greatly Benefited by Large Acreage
Just Thrown Open to Agri-
cultural Surface
Entry.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Approximately
1000, 900 acres of land withdrawn from
entry as being valuable for coal depos-
its or for classification are thrown open
to agricultural surface entry under
regulations approved by Acting Secre-
tary of the Interior Pierce.
The opening of these lands was ac-
complished under the act of June %,
1910, one of the administration conser-
walton measures providing for the agri-
cultural entry Of the surface of public
coal lands, the coal deposits being re-
served for separate disposition by the
United States.
The West should be exceedingly bene-
fitted by the measure, according to Of
ficials of the interior department, per-
hitting, as it does, two-fold exploita-
tion--the use of the surface for crop
raising and the conservation of the
minerals.
. The act does not apply to Alaska.
