AMERICAN DOLLAR SOON 10
RE WORTH A DOLLAR AGAIN

In an interview at Billings recently
Louis j. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern railway, sad: 1T Will only
be a little while before the great
American dollar again will be worth
a dollar.
at has been worth only fifty cents
for long time. Hut the present
situation is only temporary
Existing conditions are but the re-
f1ex Of the world war, Mr.. Hi assert
cd. Every country has gone through
it, he said. and it would be absurd
to expect the United States to es-
cape.
Things are now mending,' he
continued. 1T is when people real
ize they are in a hole that they be-
gin to climb out. Everybody now
realizes conditions, which have been
existent for some time, and have be-
gun to climb out. The situation may
be tight, but it is we'll to remember
that it is only temporary.
Worse condi0ns have prevailed
before. The damage they did has
been forgotten. We are all right
now.'
MIR. Hill was somewhat reluctant
to forecast an approximate date for
the return Of normal conditions. but
said he believed the country and its
business would he on an even keel
by spring.
He also declared that Montana and
other states OF the northwest soon
would begin to feel the beneficial eff
fects Of tremendous influx Of peo-
pie, chilly hardy immigrants from
the north European countries-"the
kind of people that made this part
of the country he explained.
There Is u big wave of population
headed this way, and population is
what Montana needs.

Curious Old Papers

Hunting through an old trunk
which belonged to Mr.. Sac Brew
er deceased, Ben Brewer discov-
cred some very old examination
sheets and other ancient docu.
ments. The examination sheets
were splendidly written, mathe-
matical examples stated and
worked out on paper which was
unusually we'll preserved and
dated Oct. "a, 1926. There were
also some certificates of stocks
in gold and silver mines and oil
stock dated along about 1908.
The old gentleman seldom ever
considered investment in corpor-
alton stuff and it was a surprise
to those who discovered the cer-
tifcates. Perhaps in years the
old trunk had not been molested
except to place some strictly pri.
vate paper in it for safe keep
ing. Uncle Sac Brewer was en-.
gagged during his entire life with
helping others, no matter who il
was who needed help, more thar
plotting and Shaving for himself,
and primitive ways, simple liv
ing and honest dealing appealed
more to him than schemes fol-
progress, display and autocratit
disregard of rights of others 81
