seeing the prospectors "pan" for gold.
The pan is made Of black steel and
is about ten inches in diameter at the
bottom, faring out into fourteen
inches at the top, and three inches
deep. Into this pan is placed sand
and gravel. Then the pan is placed
under water, turning II back and
forth. This settles the gold to the
bottom Of the pan, as It is heavier
than most other materials, and washes
the sand and gravel off, leaving the
gold deposited upon the bottom of the
pan. II there is any gold, IL will be
seen in small flakes much thinner
than this paper and not as large as
a pin head. In fact, It may be moth
ing but fine dust. II he should find
as much as six colors, as each flake
Of gold is called color, in a pan, II
would be worth about twenty-five
cents a cubic yard. I was surprised
to see how little of gold deposit they
could find in a pan and yet have a
plot Of ground worth anything. They
told me that people have found gold
nuggets in Alaska, in one pan, worth
several thousand dollars; the man
whom I saw panning has panned in
Alaska, s14 worth in one pan, taking
him perhaps as many minutes to do
so. One dollar per minute is perhaps
a little more than Berea workers re-
ceive.
Most of our goods were with us,
and soon we were assembling the
gasoline engine and drill parts. Gas
oline costs 81 per gallon delivered
but wood is free for the getting.
The second days running found q
broken crank shaft in the new en-

There happened to be another engine
at Hudson's Hope, forty miles away
so Mr.. Case sent for Il and received
it after five days. During these days
helped cut down trees to build
log foundation for our cooks tent
and sawed wood with large cross
cut saw, washed dishes, and read
little. The mail comes in only twice
a month. Reading matter was scarce
so I took things easy.
When the engine was received, WI

From Mr.. Beatte's our goods had
to be taken six miles up the river
in a boat, which was cut out Of a
log. IL was pulled along by men, who
walked along the bank and through
the water. IL was no easy task, as
the current was swift and banks
steep. At this boat we met Mr.. A.
II. Case and son, Albert, who have
been at Boone Tavern. Albert has

river and down into the valley where
the bushes, logs and trees nearly
knocked me out Of the saddle.
Across streams and miry places,
through the Flat along the river, and
finally to the camp we went.
This camp is located along the
Peace River, 600 miles north of the
United States border-line, the place
where the river flows through the
Rocky Mountains, in British Colum-
bia. Peace River is navigable for
600 miles, with but one or two port
ages. Cutting its way through rocks
and dirt, often its surface is as
smooth as any lake. Its banks are
covered with forests, where can be
found bear, dear, and many smaller
animals. The beaver, too, can be
seen.
We were glad to reach camp, con-
sisting of six tents and eight men

horses, space and silence, so far as
nature was concerned. Here they

Hot Indignation and genuine grief
have been aroused all over the land
by the revelations OF crookedness In or
ganized baseball In the grand jury In
vestigation In Chicago. That here ans
there might be found one or two
players who would sell out would not
be surprising, but that eight members
on one club should be guilty OF such
shameful II not criminal conduct
would be unbelievable were II not at
tested by the confessions OF some OF
the accused. These men not only sold
their honor and the respect and admi-
ration OF the American people. but
they sold out for petty sums and to
cheap gamblers. who double crossed"
them. and now they have nothing left
hut bitter reflections and the rem
nants OF their bribes.
The grand jury voted true bills
against eight men. seven OF whom are
still members OF the Chicago White
Sox club, the eighth having been sus-
pended last spring. They are accused
OF conspiracy TO do an unlawful act"

mature or over-enthusiastlc. Lithu-
ania and Poland, which were actually
fighting. have not ceased yet. though
they probably will before long. AS
for the dispute between Sweden and
Finland over the Aland Islands, the
former nation protests that there new
er was any danger OF hostilitles, as
she always settles international dis
putes peaceably. Swedish officials
said the quarrel with Finland would
be amicably ended. though they added
that Sweden never would give up the
Aland Islands.
Both the Poles and General Wrangel
continued their successful warfare on
the Russian soviet forces. The for
mer at last reports had captured the
important cities OF Ida and Pinsk.
and were steadily advancing north
eastward toward wilma. whose fall was
expected soon. Ida is the place
where Trotzky was said recently to
have established the headquarters OF
new Bolshevik army Of 10000 for a
fall campaign against the Poles. The
Ukralnians. who are operating on that
front, have recovered Kamanetz-Po-
dolsk from the Bolsheviki and are
said TO be planning a drive to form
junction with Wrangels forces and
to sever the soviet line Of communi-
cation between Kiev and Odessa.

Healthy Trade Indications

! a LTllOUGli exports from the United

We're also smashed, leaving net trade bal
anco in favor OF this country OF only
S2,S12.OOO.0 600 rs against net balance
OF S4.UO0.u00.0o0 the year before.
As Senator Harding would say, this rep
resents gradual but steady trend toward
, trade 'normalcy. This, within itself, is
Il healthy indication. The large trado bal
ances in favor OF America. which have been
accommodating since the outbreak OF the war

OF individual nations cannot be sustained
unless II is continuously stimulated by the
iniiowing stream Of prosperity from all

II is 4 mistaken idea that large trade
balances in favor Of individual nations re-
feet trade in its healthicst form Trade
finds its healthiest reflex in exchange of
-
or all OF the participating nations. Where
such Exchanges are restricted by the show
ing OF excess of exports over imports con-
tinuouSly in favor OF one nation, thus neces-
stating the settlement of the balances
against the other nation by gold PAYMENTS
Industry in the latter country is bound TO
anguish. and in time will be reflected by
shrinkage in the volume OF trade between
both. thus to that extent contributing TO
the depression OF the favored nations in
dUstricS.
For the United States, therefore, to pur-
sue Il trade policy that has for its chief
objective the building up Of favorable trade
balances, to be settled in gold means Il

mate effect of which is TO restrict internal

all productive enterprise.
Rcvcrting To the figures already men
toned, the increase OF our Imports in which

and imports is narrowed, the showing re-

spirit to lend assistance to the upbuilding
