BOERSIANER'S
COM MENT ON
BUSINESS
By BOERSIAyA

A. Barton Hepburn declares that in
lending some $4,000 0O0, ,00O to Euro
pean countries the Government made
1t easy for foreigners to get American
exchange and quite as easy to
change the trade balances of neutral
countries with the United States into
European exchange. The English
and the French would not take ster-
ling exchange at the fixed price Of
$410. They reduced the pound and
the franc to their proper value by de-
preciating American exchange. This
depreciation in American exchange
was at the expense Of American busi-
ness.
After the armistice. when the
French and the English exchange
were no longer pegged. they at snce
fell, and coincident Herewith Ameri.
can exchange rose.
Our first task Is to encourage the
1quidatton OF loans secured by Gov
ernment obligations as rapidly as
possible" states a letter to the banks
OF the Fifth district, "and to have
these absorbed by the savings Of the
people. To do this we must encour-
oSe turiIC ana discourage the spend.
ing OF money for luxuries and for un-
necessary things until the Govern
mept securities are absorbed.
AT the same ii ne we should fur
ther accelerate the reduction Of cred
It's to normal proportions by discour-
aging the use Of money for unneces-
sary speculative enterprises At a
time when more credit is needed for
increased agricultural and CONNER
cial activities than Is available, none
can really be spared for purely spec
ulative purposes.
"Ali bankers should carefully anal
we all applications for loans, exer.
else proper restraint upon loans for
speculative purposes, and refuse
hose that are unnecessary, to the
end that necessary requirements may
be first fully met"

Decided decreases in the deposits OF

almost simultaneously during the
month have been felt by many of the
local Institutions.

RIVER
 WILL bE MINED
 DURING WINTER

There will be considerable mining activity on Bettles river, in the Koyukuk district, during the com ling winter, according to Jules Oliver, veteran pilot, who is just back from 6 voyage up the Koyukuk river on the steamer Reliance. Upon reach ing Panama, Oliver was detailed to
 bring the steamer Seattle No. to Nenana. He arrived here Saturday and left for Cinema yesterday aboard
 the Reliance, which followed the Sc- attle No. into port.
 The men who have ground on Bettles river, Oliver says, are pre- pairing to do at lot of work during
 the winter. They have taken out
 some gold already, but the extent
 of the pay will not be known until
 about the first of the year.
 Oliver was informed that about fcrty men would winter on Bettles river and on Lake creek, a tributary iof Bettles. At present they are 1 engaged in cutting wood and mak- ! ing other preparations for winter operations. As soon as the snow 1 comes, they will begin hauling in their supplies.
 The Reliance was fortunate in finding a fair stage of water on the last voyage up the koyukuk The water had been very low, and but for the fact that rain came when it did, it is very doubtful if the steamer would have been able to reach the upper stations, which would have been a serious blow to the hoyukukerS, lnaSmuch as they depended upon the Reliance to de- liver sufficient supplies to carry them through the winter.
 There had been no new develop ments in the Hog River district at the time of the Reliance's arrival there, but considerable work prob ably will be done during the winter by the 35 men who will continue the search for the paystreak. Sam Dubin had forty tons of supplies on the Reliance for his trading post, in anticipation of busy season.

BARRAGE LANDS
 GENTLE CARIBOU NEAR RAILROAD

Hunting is good near the new winter camp which is now being established by the Alaskan Engi- neering commission beyond the end of steel south of Nenana. At any rate, that is the report sent to The News from Engineer Kestly's head quarters, where the members of his party are now feasting on juicy steaks cut from the carcass of . fat caribou that recently surren- dered to John Kestly and Dorwin Browne after a mighty battle in the nearby woods.
 After getting the work started on the new camp, kestly and Browne mushed up the trail toward Savage fork, in search of game. On the first day out, after passing Moreno's place. they came across a herd of caribou, but as they were tired and far from camp, contented themselves with noting the position of the ami mals and figuring out just about where they would be the next day On nearing camp about an hour later, the boys ran into a small herd of about six or seven caribou feeding calmly close to the camp Neither had had any experience in big game hunting in the North, and they were consequently not wise to the ways of the woodland caribou They immediately deployed in skir- mishing order, and crawled on their stomachs until within range of the game The caribou, as is usual with the animals, did not give a whoop for the hunters, whose presence they doubtless had sensed long before the men started to crawl toward the herd.
 The boys wriggled painfully through the brush until they were within about 100 yards or less of the herA. which they considered to be just the right range. Kestly then passed the sign, previously agreed upon, to Dorwin, and botn immediately opened fire. They were armed with the latest type of rifles and were rated good shots, bu- both were excited and fearful that the caribou would vanish at the first shot
 Rapid fire was kept up vigorously for some time, while the caribou continued feeding calmly as if noth- ing had happened. Seven shots apiece had been fired and not caribou had bitten the dust, when it occurred to Dorwin that some thing was wrong somewhere He suspected that someone. perhaps the BCwen-Myers party, had put out some caribou decoys, in which event they were merely wasting ammun:- tion. He ceased firing, but prudent ly reflled his magazine while await ing developments.
 At that juncture the herd began to move away, slowly, with a huge buck in the lead. Instinctively. both men resumed firing, but concentrat- ed their aim on the big caribou in the lead, and after eight or nine shots had been fired, they had the satisfaction of seeing the animal fall. It was their first caribou. but the question of which fired the fatal shot is still an open one
 After the caribou had been prop erly bled and dressed, the carcass was cached and Dorwin hastened to the Mills camp for pack animals, while Engineer Kestly started for town with the liver and heart of the caribou as trophies of the | chase

1t buys share in the work OF

which this association is striving to

meet it's health needs. 1t buys share
in every sanatorium that is built,

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-12-11
Has the Great Idea in Health Work

anti-tuberculosis forces have taken
this cue, and there is no other state
where education on this topic is car
ried to the country dweller as it is in
Wisconsin.
"Once a year, for one month, the
association goes into the business Of
merchandising Red Cross seals. From
Thanksgiving Day to Christmas is the
selling season. There may be CONNER
cial organizations in the country which
have as complete and pervasive sys-
tenn, but have yet to hear of it. 1t
is a saturated solution of selling. How
any citizen of Wisconsin, unless he Is
a real badger and lives in a burrOw,
can escape getting his chance to pur-
chase seal and thus contribute his
cent to the cause, is difficult to i'm
agine.
Education, more education, and still
more education. Not penny comes
into headquarters that has not bought
some one a lesson of health in the
giving. Not a penny goes out but bears
to some other it's message of life saw
ing. 1t is the only campaign in scores
that have studied in which there Is
no waste.
1.-TWO qualities in the work of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton have strongly impressed me. They
are experiences in method anu concen-
tration of effort.
Each year the cry goes up from a
widening area, Come over into Mace
donia and help u.s. Each year the
over-strained, undermined, courage
GUS and self-devoting band of workers
are harder put to it to meet the appeal
which means life and death to so
many. They are fighting the fight OF
the whole people, and they need and
deserve the support of no less than
the whole people.
eff there is any other public work
in this country returning equal divt-
dends of service, do not know it."
