A "Geeneral Settlement, !"

In the rich spoil that the Hapsburgs
accumulated over many centuries,
much Of which is coming back to the
nations that owned it, there Is hardly
a more interesting item than the coro-
nation robes that Italy now proposes
to have returned to Palermo, Sicily.
Henry vi, emperor Of the Holy Roman
empire in the twelfth century, subdued
the Sicilies and took back to Germany
the gorgeous costume that Saracen
artisans had made for Norman kings
who had come into control a hundred
years earlier. Since then the robes
have been worn by Hapsburg mon
archs at their coronations, and Of late
years they have been kept, between
these ceremonial occasions, in the i'm
perial treasury in Hofburg, Vienna.
The robes include magnificent
mantle, wonderfully embroidered alb

MALEKULANS NOT ALL BAD
Puonaelous South Pacific lslanders
ScrupuIousIy Honest, Though
Careless Of Human Life.

The sending Of a small naval forcs
to Malekula island, in the New Heb
rides. for the protection Of planters
against the natives brings some incl
dental Information about 4 peculiar
people with the undesirable fame Of
being the most bellicose Inhabitants
Of any island In the South Pacific.
Malekula island has long been under
tho joint control Of France and Eng
land, and at intervals some display
of force has been necessary to make
the islanders respect the local repre-
sentatives Of more advanced civil
ization. Despite their reputation for
pugnacity, however, there is much. de-
clares a recent writer, to be said for
the Malekulans. For one thing, they
are remarkably honest: the traveller
who goes among them knows that
however he may fare as regards per-
sonal safety, he Is In no danger what
ever Of losing his personal property.
And II he is careful not to irritate his
hosts, he Is likely to come away with
q pleasant memory Of the native VII
lage community, its discussions OF
community affairs in a kind Of village
forum, its dances, and its children'a
playground under the banyan tree
He learns also that many Of the vii.
lagos have q social club for men and
that the islander, who is also a crack
marksman with bow and arrow, takes
great satisfaction In belonging to it.

THE BLAND MINE.

A few days ago a rich strike was made in the Bland mine which tends to bear out the pre- diction of old time miners here that the Bland will develop into one of the best mines in this section. The new vein is be- tween three and four feet wide and assays from the general run of the lead show between $50 and $6O a ton in silver and cop per with good percentage of lead. The new strike has creat- ed no little excitement in this section and Sterling Mckinley, the general manager, is the re- cipient of warm congratulations on all sides. The Bland Mining company has a lease on the mine from the Baca Float grant people and has been doing good work on it.
 When R. R. Mason concluded to put up a mill to treat the ore from the Royal Blue mine, it was estimated that the mill. with
 a capacity for 100 tons would get fifty tons from that mine, twenty tons from the Bland and the remainder from surrounding properties but it now looks like the Bland will be able to greatly exceed that amount and assure the projector of the mill of an abundance of ore right at the start. In case he finds that the supply of ore exceeds the capa- city of the mill MT Mason will promptly increase it's capacity for he is a man of the progress, sive sort and determined worker. r.-Patagonian.

AMERICANS INVEST MILLIONS.

Washington, D. C-Uncle Sam sold $134, ,23O, ,697. .84 worth of Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates during 1919, accord ing to a report of the Savings Division of the Treasury Depart ment. Probably twice as much was lost by less cautious invest. ors in fake oil stocks and similar worthless paper.
 This investment of $134, ,OOO, GOO, particularly by persons Of small means throughout the Un- ited States, was made in the face of wave of high prices and extravaganza, tbe like of which we have not seen since Civil War days. Economists and financial experts consider the figures of the sale of these humble Government securities as a hopeful sign indicative that the country is slowly but surely adopting the only means out of our present industrial and finan- cial difficulties.-r economy, regular saving and investment by every one, wage earner to millionaire.
 Treasury Department officials
The border vidette., 1920-03-06

are confident that the 1920 re- turns on the Governments Thrift activities will show substan- tial increase. Renewed syste- matic efforts are being made to push the sale of the securities through banks, post offices, schools, and organizations of all kinds. Following the advice of Governor Harding of the Feder- al Reserve Board, the gospel of Work and Save" is being pre- ached contin ually, and the War Savings securities offered for sale as a ready vehicle for the safe investment of saved earn ings with Uncle Sam at four per cent interest compounded every three months. A definite effort is also being made to get into the households of the country with family budget system to promote savings.
 The Twelfth Federal Reserve District. which embraces the states of Oregon, Nevada, Wash ington, Utah, Idaho, California and part of Arizona, including, too, the territories of Alaska and Hawai-, invested $1O, 29O, 1885, 60 in the lowly Thrift Stamp, and the Treasury Savings Ger tificate, which latter comes in denominations of $1OO and 5000. Oregon, with an investment of S1 1865, ,683. .38, was fifth among the states of the Union in per capita sales of the Governments securities. Nevada was tenth.
