Took Option on 5120 Acres.
The land was offered at the uni
form price of SIPS an acre with wa

and the balance within 10 years at 6
per cent interest. Mr.. Scott took an
option on the 512O acres still unsold

The response to the caravan trek

applicants. emphasizing congeniality

How He Got the Idea.
Mr.. Scott has a friend an engineer
who does not wish his name used be
cause of business complications. Each
summer the two families have taken
automobile excursions out of these
trips the present plan gradually grew.
At first only the two families were to
follow Horace Greeley's advice Then
mutual friend also wanted to join
and the party began to grow.
When Mr. Scott decided on a col
ony. he wrote to commercial clubs
and city and state officials throughout
the west Among the first to answer
was Governor ID. w. Davis of Idaho.
The governor suggested that Mr.

Internal Value

(5) The internal value of money in
country in its relation to commodities
should be stabilized; the utopian idea
of a restitution of the pre-war value
of money should be abandoned, and the
future financial policy should be de-
termined as soon as possible and given
publicity.
80 This sterilization of the various
money units should be regarded as in
the interests of all the nations, and
should in future be the object Of their
mutual attention.
CD Means should be found whereby
floating debts in foreign countries in
the shape of bank drafts, other than
notes or bank debts on current ac-
count, may be transformed into loans
with a fixed rate of interest.
l8) The present differences Of price
in favor of the home market sr be-
tween foreign buyers or various nation
alities should be abolished by interna-
tional agreements.
90 One-sided obstacles to commerce
between the various countries should
be removed.
100 An inquiry should be held to
ascertain whether international trade
cannot be revived by the introduction
of kind of international monetary
system.
(tD An inquiry should be held to
ascertain whether it is not to the COM
mon interests of the world that fresh
appreciation should be prevented, and
that for this purpose international
agreements should be concluded In or
der to keep the monetary demand for
gold within reasonable limits.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.~-prices in the
wheat market developed reactionary
tendency on Saturday, and at the close
OF the day showed net losses of 1ss to Q
cents. The selling was not Of large
volume, and many thought that the
market has been well liquidated Those
who had bought on the assumption that
Fridays rally had marked a turn in
the market sold, however, and the de-
mand was limited, with traders cautious
about taking the long side over Sunday.
The principal bearish feature OF the ,ay
vas break or cents per bushel In No
venber wheat III Buenos hyros. This was
taken TO indicate that holders of old wheat
there were more inclined to sell in prerara-
tion for the marketing OF the new crop, In
Fact cables from Europe declared that offers
OF both old and new wheat from the Ar
genttne were iarger and more on COM
petitiye basis with America than for MANY
months. Tho Northwestern markets were
also lower. and much OF the bulilsh feeling
expressed on Friday was Lost Gables w. .

The corn market was CON paratiyely firm
early in the session. with very little selliny
pressure and scattered demand based
on the recent show OF resistance TO bearlsh

couraged holders and subsequently, the
market eased of and closed easy with net

Premium ON Dollar Turning
Chilean Merchants to Europe
Financial Troubles of South American Country
Laid to Failure to Diversity Indus
tries During Prosperity

at the beginning of the year with i'm
ported goods, and it is probable that
no great Improvement in foreign pur-
chases will take place until the sur
plus has been worked OFF, The inevita-
Bile rise in retail prices has been grad
ual, owing to the prevailing custom of
selling off old stocks at old prices and
increasing the prices only on new
goods imported at higher cost 1t is
estimated that present stocks will not
be exhausted short of four to six
months, and it is likely that the recent
general increase of 80 per cent on i'm
port duties will not be reflected in pre-
vailing prices TO any great extent for
some months TO come.
Monetary Reform Needed
The elevated prices which the en-
treme cost Of the dollar would impose
on all imported American merchandise
is the determining factor in the efforts
being made by Chilean merchants
toward the resumption OF trade with
Europe. American made goods are, in
the majority of cases, recognized here
as superior, but the serious prejudice
which the exchange disparity is Great
enthusiasm will be evidenced toward a
continuation of trade with the United
States until some relief in exchange is
in sight.
For the realization Of this desidera-
tun, complete reform in the monetary
system Of the country appears to be
necessary. There have been repeated
issues Of paper currency, with no gold
reserve, resulting in continual Huc-
tuation in the value of the gold peso
in terms of the paper peso (the pre-
MUM on gold to-day is quoted at 1856
per cent?, which naturally tends to
sggravate exchange difficulties. There
is equally felt the need OF more
equal and adequate system Of taxation,
a budget compatible with the fiscal in-
come, and more diversified exploita-
tion of the country's products.

Short, Quiet Session, With
Quotations Firm at Open
ing; Dec. Heavily Sold

The cotton market was quiet on Sat
urday with fluctuations irregular. The
frmer technical position was reflected
in an early advance, but aside from
scattered Wall Street and local cover
ing there appeared to be very little de-
mand, and the market later eased Off,
closing at net decline of to 18
points. December contracts sold at
1858 on the early rally, later breaking
to 1926 and closing at 1880. A fea-
ture of the late trading was active

Of March by brokers who were believed

Srccsol Foreign FtHdnciol Correspondence
SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 23.--Chile IS
suffering from the paralysis of her
chief Industry nitrate OF soda. This,
In word, expresses the economic
blight which has fallen on the country
like the ancient Egyptian plaques, dam
aging her prosperity 10 an almost ir-
reparable degree.
Here, as in most other countries
where prosperity has prevailed Cor any
considerable length of time, the people
have been deluded by the idea that il
would last forever. Thus the Chilean
nation has failed to seek the diversi-
fcation of its productive activities and
so provide the sole foundation sutfi
sientiy solid on which to build per
:nanent estate OF economic wellbeing.
In recent months. TO be sure, there
has been q noticeable tendency on the
part of legislators to find remedy FOR
the evils resulting from the country's
dependence on single product, and an
effort has been made toward increasing
agricultural production and exports
Projects introduced in Congress for
economic and financial reforms have
been legion, but. as is too often the
case at such times. have been limited
to eloquent discussion, and no adequate
means have get been found to regulate
the present unbalancing Of trade.
Depreciation of Peso
The depreciation OF the peso CON
tinues to be one of the most important
financial problems of the country. At
the beginning OF the present month the
dollar reached the unprecedentedly
high mark of little more than II
pesos, which means that at that rate it
would cost Chilean merchant $3.50 for
a dollar draft Of SI00. This high rate,
IS can be easily imagined, IS rendering
impossible all operations of business
character with the United States.
The Chilean market was well stocked

Economic Friction

tl2) Economic friction oecasioned by
the recently constructed political from
tiers should be minimized by as wide
IN application as possible of the prin~
ciple OF free trade between the various
countries of central Europe, and trade
through and between these countries
should be freed from all restrictions.
(l3) All kinds of discrimination in
the domain of commercial policy be-
their origin should be abolished.
(14) 1t should be recognized that the
principle of the open door" is of
primary Importance in view OF the con-
centration OF ownership of colonies
and spheres of influence which is q
consequence of the war.
I6) The fundamental principle OF
private property should be recog-
ognized and in this respect equal
rights should be accorded to the sub
jects of all other countries.
(16) All relief measures for suffer-
ing countries should be organized with
the sincere intention to develop their
production and trade and thereby to
place them in a position to be able to
look after themselves as soon as pos
sible, and to become actually useful
members Of the family of nations.
(17) That the existence of right
to reimbursement for the material
sent to the suffering countries should
be recognized both by the legislation
OF those countries and by those powers
by which they may, in soma way or
other. be controlled.
(lS) Specia. attention should be d.
rected to the organization of the rail-
way system in Central Europe in order
that equal and, as far as possible,
esicient treatment may be secured to
all traffic, the railways may be placed
upon a paying basis, and they may be
supplied with that capital which, in
view Of their development, they most
urgently need.
(19) Special attention should be de-
voted TO the necessity of developing
non European countries, to their pro
duction Of foodstuffs and raw mate
rails and to the emigration from Eu-
rope necessary for that purpose.
(20) 1t should be recognized that in
loans to su;Ssering countries
should only be provided out of current

(l) In every country the rate Of IN
terest should be raised to level cor
responding to the tightness of capital
actually existing.
(2) Government expenditure should
be strictly confined within such limits
that imitation Of country's currency
Is avoided; for this purpose the present
procedure of supporting consumption by
artificially reduced prices or by direct
subsidies should be discontinued; re
duction of military expenditure should
be secured by the creation of really
peaceful relations between the various

(3) The issue of notes and suchlike
