possessions. They are loyal to their
employers and bosses.
The Belgian government provid-
ed in the grant of the concession that
the company should provide the food
for the workmen, whivn costs about
is francs a month per man, a franc
being about 20 cents. In addition
to this each man receives six francs
in cash. His poll tax to the Bel
gian government is approximately
five francs a month, so he has no
great amount left to spend on his
wardrobe. But one outfit, used on
state occasions only, lasts a long
time in the Congo, and 1 doubt IL
there is a place on the globe where
men work for wages where there is
less complaint. The yare on a slid
ing scale, however, and every year
a man works his wages increase.
1.-The gold and copper mined is
melted into bullion and shipped to
Brussels, which is the Principal place
of business of the company. I can
give no idea of the amount that it
shipped each year, but it is great.
1.-The climate of the Congo basin
is hot and very humid. The tenn
perature is higher most of the year
than in the eastern part Of the
United States in July or August.
This is true at least six months in
the year and the nights are always
so hot hal it is difficult to sleep.
Changes of temperature are sudden
and very great, as an effect of the
frequently occurring ,ornadoes. 1t is
not unusual for the temperature to
drop ten degrees or more in an
hour. Yet it is not an unhealthy
place.
1.-THE Congo country is wonderful
in it's possibilities. Mining and
timber industries are but in their
infancy, and for centuries will yield
fortunes for those who will develop
them. There is agriculture and fruit
raising, which some day will be fol-
lowed on a gigantic scale. There
is no more favorable land on the
globe for raising coffee. sugar.
sugar, cereals and tobacco. Vast
sums will be required to bring these
pursuits to a commercial basis, for
much of the country must be treat
ed as the Panama isthmus was treat
ed-drained and diked and prepared
in advance of the active operations.
The Congo river is wonderful and
both drains and irrigates a vast ter
ritory. 1t is the sixth longest river
in the world and the third in vol
ume. I know of places where 1t Is
20 miles wide, and it is a deep
stream, navigable as far up as Stan
ley Falls for river steamers of 500
tons. 1t is no place for a poor man
to go unless he is prepared to live
like the natives, but for men or
means, who are able to obtain con
cessions, there r many opportuni-
ties."-Mining World.

Nephew Suspected of Crime

A nephew of Anon Vansickle, the
rancher who was found dead In his
cabin near Fallon recently, is being
sought by the sheriff's office for the
murder. Sheriff Coniff bases his
suspicion partly on a ,eport that the
uncle and nephew had serious diff
culties three years ago. The MUIR
dered man had apparently given shell
ter to some one on the night of the
tragedy, as a bed had been made on
the floor.

cling the state coat of arms.
The primary object of the association
is to secure greater returns for the
educational expenditures of the county.
II is felt that the principle OF economy,
learned first in respect to school equip
ment and supplies. may be carried over
into the broader education of the child
and become an important part OF
character instruction. The county com :
ynissioners are convinced that there is
con siderable waste which may be PEE
vented thru cooperation between the
school boards and pupils. Such waste
NAV take place in one Of the follow5ng
ways:
! Destruction Of outouildings and
fences.
pefacerent Of school buildings.
s. Mutilation OF interior walls.
1. Breaking OF window panes.
: Carving away of schol furniture
pals, shovels, brooms, etc.
s. Carving. cutting. and breaking
