BOYS REPORT A
 GRUESOME FIND

A story which may or may not be correct is being tolG about town by a number of small boys, relative to the discovery of 2 body in a cabin on Clear creek about five miles from Fairbanks. And as far as can be learned. no investigation of the story told by the boys has yet been made.
 Sonny" Morency is one membe" of the party of boys claiming to have found a body. He says that he and his young companions saw the figure of a man lying on a bunk in the cabin, which was locked, and that all of their attempts to rouse him were Of nc avail. although they made noise enough to waken the dead.
 And Sonny" thinks that the man is dead, for the reason that he was at the same place about two weeks ago and that nothing about the house has since been disturbed, not even a pile of freshly cut wood. He did not look irlo the house at that time.

ROOSEVELT IS
 WRITTEN UP.

NEW YORK; June 4.-In the New York Tribune this morning Mary Roberts Rhinehart, the famous nov velist, describes a visit she recently made to Col. Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. She starts her story by saying that she went there 70 analyze what she calls "the eternal boy" in the colonel, and to sum up her conclusions for the Ameri- can people. In part she says:
 If you like boys, you will like the colonel, for he has many boyish attributes Boyishly, he loves his friends and he hates his enemies, and all kinds ot hypocrisy in a like manner. And he likes praise. Ills boyishness recalls in him the quality seen in Lincoln as statesman, for in the fiery earnestness of man and always means what he says.
 "Col. Roosevelt says that he de- sires to awaken the people to the needs of the country. He began the campaign two years ago wt.a- out political ambitions, and he dit not have them until he heard UT occasionally voice from the wi : derness crying The country needs leader
 He also says that no nation will dare to make war on unified and prepared America headed by a real leader, although that leader does not necessarily need to be mi!i taristic And in speaking of leader ship he pointed to his presidential record saying You know my motto Speak softly and carry the big stick that beats the mailed fist every time.'
 He smiled sadly and seemed deeply moved when comparing Lin coin slavery days with the present Mexican situation. The latter. he said, had not been improved with

three years Of Democratic prepar cdness measures with Daniels in the cabinet He also said that if De. mocracy had kept faith with the people America would be prepareI now
 The colonel declares that he doesn't want the coward vote. by which he means that of the pacifistS of the country. He further assert ed that peace cannot keep house with fear He also said that no neutral protes' had yet been made against the wanton and cowardlv murder of non-Combatants such as has taken place during the grea' European war. And n talking of preparedness lie sad that he hearti- ly endorses the Swiss system Of universal training.

Banking Chances
 In South America

The bureau of foreign and do- mestic commerce, department of commerce. has just published an account of Banking Opportunities in South America" written by Dr. William H. Lough, well known financial writer of New York It is the result of MT. Lough's six months trip through South Ameri- ca. It deals with the subject in a clear, concrete and concise form.
 The British banks in South Am erica, according to MT Loughs re- port have taken the lead in fl nanCing the development of the prin- cipal countries. Of these there are five, with an aggregate capital and surplus of some $6O0OOOOO and total deposits and credits in ac- count current of over a quarter CT billion dollars.
 They have in the main been quite successful, the largest and most important British institution having paid dividends of 20 per cent an- nually for many years previous to the outbreak of tfe European war. This institution is the London X River Plate bank, which was es- tablished in 1862 and has now a paid up capital of S900O,0O0, with some thirty branches, Including sub sidiary banks in Brazil, Chile and Peru. The other British banks while paying less dividends. have all established themselves firmly.
 German banks are next in order by four institutions. They have developed larsly as part of the German plan of commercial expan sion, although MT. Lough says so far as South America is concerned there is no evidence to show that the German government has lent it's active assistance to the upbuild ing oi these institutions.
 They have rather been the pro duct of the German business organi. cations, by which each of several groups of industries centers around it's own particular bank. In furth ering the interests of these indus tries the banks have found it de sirable to establish themselves in South America. They have in the main also been successful

 The game yesterday was just what Fairbanks ball fans expected to see no better and no worse. But as a matter of fact, 1t can be said to the credit of the pail players, that they do very well considering the chance they have to practice, and the fans are therefore lucky to be afforded such glimpse of the great national game.
