Very Few Failures
in State This Year

Montana is not behind the process
sion, commercially, according to figures
compiled by Philip s. Rush, state man
ager for r. q. Dun & Co., in which it
is shown that Montana, along with the
other states of the union, is keeping up
remarkable record for small number
of commercial or mercantile failures
this year.
Dun's figures, based on the most ac-
curate information obtainable, shows
that in the United States, out of almost
two million merchants engaged in busi-
ness, there were only 1927 failures
during the first quarter of 1920, as
against 1904 during the corresponding
period of 1919. and 1926 during the
first quarter of 1915-the year when
there were more commercial failures
than ever before had been recorded.
Furthermore, the amount of liabilities
recorded in the failures for the mer-
chants of the first quarter, was small.
Montana, with something like 10,500
merchants in business, exclusive of
banking concerns, insurance and real
estate agencies, and other lines not
classed as strictly mercantile, had, dur
II commercial failures. The total as
sets of these II amounted to SS1 63S,
with total liabilities of $130,457; there
fore creditors should receive at least
an average Of 30 per cent on their
claims for those who have failed this
year. In 1919, there were 26 mercantile
failures in Montana during the first
four months, so it will be seen that the
number shows a very marked decrease
this year over last year, nOtwithstand-
ing detarding factors in business such
as the strikes that have taken place
in most of the larger cities of the state
since the first of January, 1920.

WHITE WOMAN ACCUSED
 OF KIDNAPPING INDIAN
 ON ACCOUNT OF WEALTH

TOPEKA, Kan, May 9 Whether the legal supervisor of guardlan-at- law over an Indian is supposed to in- clude the latter's matrimonial venture must be decided by the Kansas su- preme court in the habeas corpus proceedings brought by Carl J. O'Hor- nett of Henrietta, Okla, to recover the custodian-ship of Jackson Barnett, aged 70, Creek Indian of Henrietta.
 Barnett, known as the richest h. dian in the world" owns oil lands val ued at more than million dollars.
 Under most romantic circumstances, Barnett last February eloped and was married to a young white woman, Mrs. Anna Laura Lowe, at Coffeyville Kan. O'Hornett charges that the old Indians bride is "an adventures of the most pronounced type" and that she "kidnaped" Barnett because of his wealth.

CHAIN OF HOTELS MAY
 BE ESTABLISHED IN NORTH

A plan with unlimited capital be- hind it is in the preliminary stages for owning and controlling a chain of ho- tels in the main cities in Alaska, from Ketchikan to Anchorage.
 Parties in Juneau have been ap- preached with a view of getting a hotel there to form one of the links, and it is said thaG negotiations have been opened with parties in Ketchikar and Cordova, and later that people in Se'vard and Anchorage will be ap- preached.
 The purpose of the incorporators, it is said, is to lower the cost by buying supplies on a much larger scale for the chain of hotels; also they have in view a plain to interest syndicates which make a business of catering to the tourist trade in different parts of the world. It is believed that the time is near at hand when tourist associa- tions will become actively interested in advertising an Alaska trip and making it recreation center for those who seek novelty in scenery and health and hunting and fishing Ju- neau Capital.
