Population Was Only 100000.
Those figures seem insignificant
to us now, but they were staggering
then. 1t should be borne in mind
that instead of being a nation of
more than 100,000,000 the popula-
ton was less than 100000, one
sixth of which were slaves. New York
the largest city in the country, had a
population of $4,000. There were
only six cities in the United States
with population of more than $500.
We had no great Industrial centers
our population being mostly agricul-
tural and none too prosperous.
The total expenditures of our Gov
ernment during the period of 1912
to 1915 for military and naval pur-
poses, interest on loans and for pen
sions was s119,624, 900. And some
of that was borrowed at rates that
seem incredible now. Treasury notes
were sold bearing interest as high as
Z per cent. And some of the issues
were sold below par at discounts
reaching as much as 35 per cent in
March, 1916.
Cost Of the Mexican War.
The Mexican War cost us $63, $685.
621, or at least that was the excess
of expense in our War Department
from April I, 1916, to April 1, 1849,
over the total for the previous three
normal years. That was borrowed at
5 to per cent and the bonds, in
stead of being discounted or taken at
par, were sold at a premium so thor
been established by that time.
Loans, long time and short time,
aggregating approximately $4,O0O,-
100000, were floated during the civ
il war period, some of it rates as high
as 7.30 per cent. Many who will SUBJ
scribe to the per cent liberty loan
bonds in the next four weeks can
remember the dark days of '62 when
another popular loan was offered 1t
was for $5O0,0OO,O0O at per cent.
1t was authorized in February and in
the following December less than
$24,000,000 had been subscribed.

SEVENTY YEAR OLD MAN

Charles Berg, clerk and recorder
of Park county, claims the distinc
ton of being the oldest resident of
Montana serving as clerk for a draft
board, and reports received by the
members of the exemption board in
district No. 1, indicate that he has
the most perfect record of his boards
work of any such officer in the state.
Mr.. Berg, who is 70 years old, has
made a perfect docket of the boards
proceedings. A total of 483 men have
been called in his county for exami-
nation for the national army. The
record, which he devised, shows the
action taken in each individual case,
together with encyclopedia notes re-
specting each case, in numerous in
stances of an intimate nature, and
checks to the dot of an i with the
records of the county in the district
boards office, and with the records
in the adjutant generals department.
He is pioneer of Montana, served

MONTANA CRAWLING FISH
FOR NATIONAL MUSEUM

Samples of Montana grayling fish
are being collected by w. T. Thomp-
son, superintendent of the federal
fish hatchery at Bozeman, for dis
play in the national museum at Wash
ington, d. G.
He was requested to make the COL
lection as result Of two shipments
of fish which the hatchery made to
the San Francisco exposition, and
which attracted great deal of at
tention not only from visitors from
all parts of the United States, but also
from the visitors from the bureau of
fisheries at Washington, D. c., the
aquarium at San Francisco being es-
pecially popular.
Henry O'Malley, chief of the fish
culture division of the bureau Of fish
cries, met Mr.. Thompson when both
were making official visits to Glacier
National park the past summer and
asked that the collection be made.

State Gives More Than Loan
of rs; Nation Spends Weekly
Sum Equal Cost of Revolution

Montana's subscription to the sec
ond Liberty Loan of 1917, when the
figures are all in, will undoubtedly
be larger than the first great liberty
loan authorized by the Continental
Congress in 1776. The United
States is spending every week now
more money than the entire cost of
the American Revolution.
The $5,0O0,0 100000 in subscrip-
tions expected to the new loan will
equal approximately $500. 100000,
in excess of the cost of all the wars
our nation has had from it's begin
ming. The highest point reached by
our public debt previous to the pres
ent year was $2,846, 100000, owed
or. September /, 1865, at the close
of the Civil War. We are about to
subscribe more money than that in
the second liberty loan and offered
more than that at the liberty loan
campaign last summer.
Our present war financing would
sound like a fairy tale to Alexander
Hamilton who wrestled with the
problem of establishing the infant
nations credit. 1t would seem incred-
able to Albert Gallatin, who was at
the treasury helm in the war with
England in 1912, or even to Salmon
p. Chase, who struggled with the
problems of national finance in the
trying days of the Civil War.
First Domestic War Loan.
The first domestic war loan in this
country was for 5000 pounds ster-
ling ($30,000), made in June, 1775,
with which to buy powder. Congress,
in Oct, 1875, authorized a loan of
$5,OO0,000 at 4 per cent. The rate
was too low, and was later raised to
per cent, and even at the higher
figure less than $4,O00,000 of the
issue was sold. At the end of four
years subscriptions to loans aggre-
gated $63,289,000, but such was
the credit of the Government that
those loans represented specie val
ue of only $7,684,000. In 1882 the
interest on the loans was not met.
In the early days of the Revolution
the Government, and some colonies
issued currency and notes to finance
war expenditures. At the end of four
years the governmental issue was
$241,552,78O and that of the states
$2O9,524,780. That currency had
deprecated to such an extent that
Congress made provision that it
should be accepted on a basis of
$40 of paper to S silver. At the end
of the Revolution, when the finances
of the republic were reorganiZed, the
Government assumed responsibility
