NO ROW AT MCCARTHY
SAYS COMMERCIAL SECRETARY

In a communication received by a
late boat from ]. A. Barrett, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce OF
that enterprising little railroad city,
Mr.. Barrett states that the Prospect
or and Miner were in error in stat
ing that a general row had occurred
there between miners and citizens.
Mr.. Barrett stated that there was a
little row between Montenegrin
from the Treadwell mine and one Mr..
Smith, who would not stand for an in
suit, which was right, but no battle
occurred between the townspeopla
and the miners from the Bonanza,
and there was no gun play or knives
used, and no one hurt. The row
amounted to nothing, and the citi-
zens of the town feeling that the city
had been misrepresented asked these
papers to make correction.
A commercial traveller was res
ponsible for the Miners story of the
battle, and we printed the story as
given. Happily. we were wrong and
cheerfully make the correction.

INDIVIDUAL THRIFT.
u Mems to the Man Whist Conssrva-
ton Does to the Nation.

The movement to encourage the peo-
pie of this country to curb extrava-
gance and 10 save money is rapidly
growing, and il is q good thing that
it is so. We need such a campaign,
and its gospel of thrift should he
spread broadcast throughout our land.
The American people must save. They
can no longer afford to waste.
1t was the tremendous natural wealth
of this country that made Americans
q nation of spendthrifts. Now the end
Of natures bounty is actually i'll sight.
All of the better public lands have been
taken up. The government is carefully
estimating our resources of coal and
oil. Water power is being developed
and husbanded. Wealth is not half so
easy to create as once it was, and for
that reason there is nation wide ap-
preciation of the necessity for conserv-
ing it. Thrift means TO Tic individual
life exactly what conservation does to
the nation.
This movement for saving money
means a good deal more than the curb
ing Of individual extravaganza. 1t
means more capital available for the
uses Of commerce. 1t means that when
you have saved $1,000 you will find it
a good deal easier to borrow another
$1,000 IL you have good investment in
view.

1t turned out, the crossing of No Man s.
