les of industrial activity and for
years after the close of this war It
will be scarcer than it has ever been
in our history, for the reason that we

immigrants after the war and the
great bulk of them will be persons

pie are satisfied with their demands

tablished.
Prosperity Will Roll Rapidly to the
Rockies.
"The coming tide Of prosperity, ma
tionally will affect the Atlantic coast
first. but it will not take 1t long to
roll out to the Rocky mountains.
There is Just one cloud in the
'orizon. This prosperity is certain
to arouse deep-steated jealousies and
bitter rivalries among other nations
and we shall be assailed on every
possible manner. Already experts
from Japan are going all thorugh our
country studying our commercial
methods, feeling out the force of our
national sentiment but more particu-
larly are they examining our naval
| and military equipment and the re-
sources of the country along those
lines and the measures that are pro-
posed to remedy our present deplora-
Bile condition.
I'm these matters the sentimental
lists must be relegated to the rear,
, unless we desire to see not only our
commercial and industrial greatness
destroyed. but also our governmental
ideals and dreams ruthlessly thrown
into the international scrap heap OF
visionary experiments"

ELIMINATION OF TUBERCU-
L0SlS IN 10 YEARS Fl RECAST

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-Dr. Jeffer-
son d. Gibson of Denver. president
of the American Association of Clin-
ical Research, declared in an address
at the Hahnemann Medical college
here that within 10 years medical
science will probably have succeeded
in all but eliminating death from tu-
berculosis from vital statistics. Dr.
Gibson, whose address opened the
seventh annual meeting of the asso-
citation, said that recent discoveries
by which the presence of tubercular
tendencies can he detected even be-
fore the germs appear in the sputum,
together with later and higher de-
velopment of the A-ray, will in a
short time remove tuberculosis from
the list of necessarily fatal diseases.

l. n. Stevens, prominent lawyer
and business man of Denver, who re-
turned recently from an extensive
business trip to the larger eastern
cities, is quite optimistic over the
business outlook in the United States
He says:
IF every person in the United
States who owns anything of value
can and will hold on to it for another
twelve months there Is no doubt
about the market value of such thing
being greatly enhanced and within
three years all real estate and divi-
dend-paying securities will almost
double in value.
"It cannot be otherwise, for al
ready the American dollar is shoot
ing up in world value at a marvellous
rate and when the great war ends it
will take generation of full pressure
production all along the line for this
country even adequately to assist
Europe in making good the war
losses. There will be an enormous
initiation of currency in Europe, which
course will double and treble some
values, but the whole world will be
equally interested In seeing that this
imitation is scientifically controlled
I'D that it does not run riot for
even short period.
America Will Lead as Financial
Nation.
mot only will we be the leading
financial nation of the world, able
o control all foreign exchange. but
we will be the greatest industrial bee
hive the world ever saw. and unless
congress is most derelict in its duty
at the coming session we will be for
ever hereafter the great international
shipping and commercial nation.
labor has already had concessions
made to it in the last few weeks in
the great industrial centers of the
east that it has been fighting for for
years, and the close of this year will
probably see the eight-hour day uni

0. K. PARKER DOES SOME
DEATH VALLEY DRIvIMG

"A Teceut issue OL oiOtOr west, tne
Pacific coast motor car publication,
contains a story OF conquering the
western deserts. particularly Death
Valley. with an automobile.
The trip. which embraced 1000
miles, was not planned as a car test,
but the party, headed by o. X. Park
Yer, an engineer. well known in Canon
City. He had charge of the building
of the Beaver dam in the beginning.
He was prospecting for molybdenite. a
rare ore used in steel refining.
Motor West says:
Not only did the party dare death
in most awful forms but they cover
ed a region generally considered as
outside the pale OF the motor car.
The topography consists of noun
tain ranges with desert valleys. or
sinks, between the mountains, these
sinks being separated by uplifts OF
volcanic origin. The region is the
most desolate and barren in America.
and there are no roads out the trails
of the occasional prospector."
The article here describes the trip
across the Mojave desert and the ap-
proach to Death Valley by way OF
Wildrose canyon.
Continuing 1t says:
-wildrose canyon grades are so
steep that they seem almost impos-
s.ble for an automobile; In fact. II is
right there that many Of the cars
that have essayed the trip have come
TO grief, and perhaps this is as well.
for IL they cannot negotiate Wildrose
canyon they could not live through
the greater strain to come in the fight
with the sand dunes of Death Valley
THE Parker party found even
worse conditions than those that led
to the death of Pete Bush. who fell
victim. to the desert last year when
his water gave out miles from a sup
ply. The winter storms had piled up
the boulders and gravel in Emigrant
canyon until the way seemed fmpos-
sible for turro. However. they
fought their way through, only to find
when Death Valley was reached that
the whole fiat had been swept with
fierce winds until the sand dunes
were a veritable sea Of sandy waves
1T was 24-hour struggle. where
their lives hinged on the staunchnegs
OF the car Suffice TO cay that they
won, with never break nor never n
falter in the fight across Death Val
ley and up the malapi slope of the
Funeral range to Daylight Springs
and an altitude VI 1907 feet.
"The return trip was without Incl.
dent. There we're no mishaps and no
motor troubles. and the closing run
Of 4O7 miles was made in two days"
The article relates that the party
was successful in finding traces OF tho
precious molybdenite ore sought and
that another expedition VIII be fitted
out to more thoroughly prospect for
the mineral.
