THE SILVER LINING.
(Anaconda Standard)

For many years silver sat in the
back row and watched gold and cop.
Ger ascend the scale of prominence ir
the realm Of aristocratic metals. Sill.
yer suffered mighty fall in 1893 and
since that year until last summer 1!
was merely tolerated. Different now
silver is back in its old position. and
If the government should remove the
price it set upon the metal, producers
say that it would jump up to parity,
$1.29.
Mining men all over the country
are sending out scouts to buy up
promising silver property. This Is the
word that comes from Salt Lake,
where agents Of investors are as thick
as urchins at a sand lot baseball
game. There are many low grade sill
yer properties in the west and some

RANCH LIFE NOT ATTRACTIVE
TO DoUGHBoYs.

In finding work for the returning
soldiers consideration must be given
to the character of their employment
before they entered the army. Secre-
tary Lane is entitled to credit for
evolving his scheme of providing
farm homes for the men on the un-
settled lands of the west and south,
but although the object he has in
mind is a most worthy one it can
scarcely be the success he predicts if
it Is adopted. Men who have spent
their lives in cities are not going to
foresake their old habits and ac-
quaintances to move to the country.
Nothing has occurred to them in
their army life tending to change
their normal method of living; on the
contrary, the longer they have re-
manned abroad the greater has been
their longing for home. Whatever
may have been soldiers craving for
adventure before the war, it has been
thoroughly satisfied by his life at the
front, and he thinks only of coming
back to the familiar scenes of his
earlier life
The truth of that statement is prov
en- by recent experiences of the ranch
ers of Oregon and the northwest. The
branch of the federal employment SER
vice at The Dalles has been unable to
supply the demand for labor on the
LEGAL ranches. 1t is stated that while
the Office was opened primarily to Sc
cure work for returning soldiers and
sailors practically none of them have
been willing to accept ranch Jobs.
