SEEKING OIL AND GAS LANDS
Uncle Sam Has Biologists at Work on
Investigations for the Benefit of
the Public.

Uncle Sam now has a corps of
trained biologists working throughout
this country to obtain information that
will assist in developing the oil and
gas resources, but their work, unlike
that of the biologists in the employ of
oil and gas companies, is done for the
benefit of the country as a whole, and
the landowner as well as the oil man
can make use of the information it OBJ
tains.
1t is now generally conceded that the
work of locating places where oil and
gas are likely to be found by drilling
is task for painstaking and scientific
geology. Although biologists do not
brag that they can positively deter
mine whether oil and gas can be found
In any special region, they can locate
the geologic structures-the rock
arches and domes-which have a great
influence on the accumulation of oil
and gas. For this reason most of the

STAGES into DISCARD WEALTH IS SCATTERED
Change Shown by Location of
Biggest National Banks.
Hundred Largest Institutions Now Are
Distributed Through % States,
Uncle Sam Reports.

That the wealth of the country is
being distributed more widely and not
concentrated in a few of the larger
cities as it was a few years ago is in
dicated by a statement of Uncle Sam
regarding the location of the hundred
largest national banks of the country.
Officials of the treasury department
attribute this change largely to the
operation of the new federal reserve
system.
Formerly the one hundred largest
national banks in the United States
were congested principally in a com
paratively few financial centers. To
day the big banks are distributed
through % states and in 80 cities, en-
bracing every section of the country.
The 100 national banks with the
largest resources as shown by a recent
call, all have resources in excess of
$20,OO0,OO0 with one exception, the ex-
ception being one of the Chicago banks.
Oklahoma. Alabama, Louisiana, Vir-
ginia, Washington, New Jersey and
Oregon each contain one of the 100
largest banks.
Texas, Nebraska, Maryland, Michi-
gan, Indiana and Wisconsin each con-
tain two of these banks.
Colorado has three.
Ohio, Minnesota and Massachusetts
each have five.
California and Illinois have sc ZEN
each.
Missouri has eight.
Pennsylvania has 10.
New York has %.
In two months the resources of the
100 largest banks increased $55O,OO0.-
600, or nearly 8 per cent.
Outside of the central reserve cities
the large banks which showed in
creases of as much as $5,O00,000 each
In deposits in this period were those
located in Dallas, New Orleans, Buff
falo, Kansas City, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Cleveland, Pittsburgh anf
Boston.
Among the 100 largest banks wer,
only five which did not show an in
crease. Three of these banks showing
reductions were located In New York
and two in California. The largest re-
duction shown by any one of these FIVE
banks was less than $2,250,0O0.
The largest percentage of increase
was shown by bank in Texas, which
increased over 33 per cent, or over
S6,000,000.

Automobiles Replace Horses in
Yellowstone Park.
Uncle Sam Decides That Picturesque
Vehicles Must Give Way to More
Modern Transportation.

The old slow-going, picturesque
horse-drawn stages have passed for
ever from the Yellowstone National
park. They will be supplanted by
comfortable, ten-passenger automo-
biles, which will run the visitor rap
idly through the long stretches of
lodge-pole forests that intervene be-
tween the spots of special interest.
The hurried visitor may then spend a
minimum of time in travel and have
more time at the geysers, the lake
and the canyon. The leisurely visitor
may linger as he pleases at the points
which command his special interest.
But one may, if he chooses, hire Il
hOrse-drawn surrey.
The passing of the horse is one of
the result of an entire reorganization
made by Uncle Sam of the living and
transportation facilities of Yellowstone.
BY agreement of the concessioners,
three new companies will supplant the
half-dozen or more which have existed
heretofore. A new transportation COM
pany has been organized to furnish
motor service for the entire park. The
hotel company will also reorganize on
q broader basis, and the camps will
combine on a basis which, with new
equipment and increased facilities, will
give the public greatly bettered serv-
ice.
The passing of the horse-drawn
stages has enabled the interior depart
ment to so simplify the schedules that
the private motorist will have as much
freedom in the park, within reasonable
regulations for the public safety, as
upon the common highways without.
With these sweeping constructive
changes the department believes that
the Yellowstone National park will en-
ter upon a period of extraordinary pub
lie usefulness and comfort.

STANDING BY THE PRESI-
DENT,

The nature of freedom demands
that it be permitted to roam un
checked and untrammeled, but al
ways within certain fixed and
definite limits. The liberty en-
.Joyed by the citizens of this Re-
public is greater, perhaps, than
that with which any other nation
in the. world is blessed. We have
freedom OF speech, Of the press, Of
religion, OF opinion. But a time
comes Ill the history of every
nation when the individual with
his particular interests must of
necessity be submerged in the
general welfare of the people at
large. Once at least in the history
OF every nation comes a time
when the pressure of enemies
from without can be successfully
resisted only by united pressure

United States, the conditions Of
which he understood thoroughly.
During the years of his admin
istration as Apostolic Delegate in
Washington, Cardinal Falconio
proved himself a most wise and
prudent director Of the destiny Of
the Church i'll our midst. BY his
high sense Of justice and his I'M
swerving loyalty to strict Catho-
lie principles he made himself
trusted and beloved by all. His
activity and solicitude led him to
take a prominent part in every
great movement that concerned
the Church at large, and prin-
cipally the progress and better
ment Of religious conditions in
this country. To this end he Wis
tied nearly every diocese in the
United States, and was always
willing to grace by the dignity Of
his office ecclesiastical functions
throughout the country. While in
Washington his home was ever
the center Of the CHI lrch in
America, the center whel zee radi-
ated not only authority and juris-
diction, but kindliness, encourage
ment, and advice.
Cardinal Falconio was a man Of
gentle disposition, and, like all
really great men, was ever I'M
selfish and untiring. as we'll as
amiablc and devoted. Ills sim
cerity and simplicity, which rem
dered him easy Of approach, won
all hearts to him. The fact that
he was a naturalized American
citizen since 1872, that he had
lived in our midst for many years
as pastor, professor, and mission
worker, gave him a deeper insight
into the practical conditions of
our national life than could pos
sibly be cleaned by any other
prelate who had not enjoyed
equal opportunities. AS far as
the Church i'll America is CON
cerned Cardinal Falconio occupied
position which cannot be filled.

"Buffalo Bill" and the
Sisters
FAMOUS SCOUT HELD CATHOLIC
NUNS IN HIGHEST ESTEEM,

Buffalo Bill Colonel William Fred
erick Cody, the great scout and
Snowman, had some thought of be-
coming a Catholic long before he
was Oh his deathbed, according to
facts that have come to light since
the story of his baptism was printed.
Several years ago, when Colonel
Cody was paying a visit to Denver.
Stanley McGinnis, who has a national
reputation as a color photography
expert and lecturer, went by appoint
ment to take some pictures of Buffalo
Bill. Five or six men were waiting
to see the scout, when a couple of
Catholic Sisters who had some bust.
ness with Colonel Cody made their
appearance. With his characteristic
gallantry, Buffalo Bill Immediately
waved aside all the men, and had the
Sisters admitted Immediately to his
presence. When they were going,
Colonel Cody made this remark about
them:
Those dear Sisters belong TO the
noblest women on this earth. They're
always doing good. They don't ask
you, What's your religion either.
You know there's some Catholic blood
in my family, and I'm not so far apart
from them as you might think
