Defation World Problem,

Dehation is emphatically 4 world
problem, and must always be thought
of in the light of world market for
gold and Of gradual but certain re-
turn Of the leading European countries
to the gold standard.
II the history of modern wars teaches
anything, it teaches that industrial and
agricultural reconstruction after a dis
astrous war is usually more prompt
than had been generally expected. War
scraps much that is bad along with the
good. Antiquated machinery and meth
DDS give way to more modern ones. In
wars life and death struggle for eff
cheney, much economic progress is
made. Belligerent countries learn from
each other and in many important lines
Of production there is strong pressure
to make each belligerent country adopt
the methods Of the most efficient. War
plows up old economic ruts and tears
down time honored economic prejudices.
Such was the story Of the French Revo-
luton, of our own Civil War and of
the Franco-Prussian War We may
therefore reasonably expect fairly
rapid industrial recuperation of Europe
when once the work is we'll started.
England and Belgium are already fore
ing the way.
While Europe's economic situation
will never be in the future what it was
prior to the great war, and while 1t is
fair guess that the economic posi-
tion Of the United States relative to
that of Europe will be permanently en-
hanced by the events Of the last seven
years, some clues as to the extent of
dehation needed, may, none the less,
probably be obtained from an attempt
to answer the question: What would
probably be the general price situa-
tion II the world should return in
few years to something like the gen.
eral monetary and economic position
in which it would probably have found
itself had there been no war?
During the eight years ending with
1913 average wholesale prices in some
Of the, leading gold standard countries
OF the world increased in the follow
ing percentages: Canada, Depart
ment Of Labor index numbers, 18 per
cent; Great Britain, Economist index
numbers, 1s per cent; France, R@forme
Economique index numbers, 21 per
cent; Germany, JahrbGcher fur Ma
tionalokonomie index numbers, 20 per
cent; United States, Bureau Of Labor
Statistics index numbers, II per cent
This gives an average rate Of increase
OF 10 per cent for these five countries.

French War Bride of John Collard

Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Coifard left Tues
day morning for Casper, Wyo.. in re-
sponse to a message received Monday
conveying the sad intelligence of the
death of their daughter-in-law, MRS.
John B. Collard. at her home on Mon
day morning. No details were con-
veyed in the message, but as it is
known that Mrs Cellard had been a

Mrs Collard was formerly Miss

BELT COAL HOLDS THE MARKET
IN COMPETITION WITH THE BEST

from more distant mines of the state
and decided cut has been made in
prices by these dealers, who find that
the local coal has invaded their mar
ket and made for itself place in di-
rect competition with coal that hereto
fore has held the highest reputation.
The recent cuts by retail dealers leads
one to wonder as to former profits in
the retail coal business. The opera
tors, so far as we can learn. have
made no cuts in prices recently, in
fact they claim that there is not
chance to produce any cheaper coal
at the present scale of wages.
At present every mine in the Belt
field is working full time and most of
them finding it difficult to keep up
with orders. The mine of the G., w.
Merkle Coal company is now employ
ing 125 men and producing 5000 tons
per week. Probably 70 per cent of the
coal from this mine is taken by the
Great Northern railway. the balance
being carefully sorted and screened
and graded into commercial sizes for
the general market SO far il has
been impossible for this mine to fill
all orders for commercial sizes.
Altogether there are close 10 200
men employed in the coal industry in
the Belt field, and Notwithstanding
the telepathy which makes known in
iustrial conditions throughout the
mining region, there has been no great
influx of men seeking work, and at
present there are very few idle men in
ha district OF course with the gres-
nnt conditions obtaining in the west,
the mines have had no difficulty in
securing all the skilled eeHE miners
needed and there is no encouragement
for those seeking work 10 come here.

Carpenter to Talk
ON Preservation
Of Montana Came

M. S. Carpenter, secretary OF the
Mostana Sportsmen's association, was
visitor in Belt Saturday arranging
to hold meeting here next Wednes-
day evening at the Pythian hall for
the purpose Of arousing interest IN the
protection and the propagation Of
Montana's game. Aside from his Of
ficial connection with the associatios,
which is doing much to preserve the
wild life of Montana, Mr. Carpenter is
an enthusiast on the subject and loses
no opportunity To impress his views
upon casual listeners. He says he is
selling "a new brand of sportsman-
ship for Montana the factor neces-
sary to propagate wild life. He told
Of eastern states. of which Pennsyl-
vania is an example, where game has
been carefully guarded and IN Penn
sylvania where it was impossible for
sportsmen to get little more than a
sparrow, II is now possible for them
to get 5000 deer without seriously
depicting the herds.
In 1916, 500 elk were killed for their
teeth in the Yellowstone district, he
said. The poachers dress in white
clothes asd sneak up on the herds OF
elk. shooting them with small calibre
guns. possibly with slencers, and then
follow the wounded animals until they
die. taking only the teeth and allowing
the coyotes. wolves and mountain lions
to tear up the animals. The game
wardens and foresters have reduced
this practice until osly so elk were
killed for their teeth last winter.
Mr.. Carpenter does not confine his
energy and efforts TO the preservation
Of big game. but includes the song
birds as well as all game fowl, lie
has made deep study Of the whole
game and song bird life of Montana
and their enemies, and has most IN
teresting lise of talk for all lovers OF
sport and wild life. His lecture next
Wednesda*aeseRinE will l~be illustrated
with a fine collection Of lantern slides.
Mr. Carpenter has also arranged to
talk to the school children Wednesday
morning, believing as he states, that
he has Az interesting and Instructive
lesson for our future conservers OF
game life.
