THE $500, coo, 900 ADVANCE
 TO THE RAILROADS

The federal government has agreed to advance $500, ,00O, ,OOO to
 the railroads and to take the se- curities of the roads in return. As Ithe result of government operation the roads have claims against the government and the government has claims against the roads. The deci- sion to make this advance of funds is the outcome of refunding negO- tiations that have recently been in progress between the railroad exec utiyes and the government.
 Just TOW the railroads need money to pay debts and to buy new equip ment. They will pay the govern ment 6 per cent interest on the half billion dollars that will he advanced during a period that, it is estimated, will cover six months We are told that tile money already advanced to the railroads has been n good investment for the govern .inent, becuse the government has been able to borrow at an interest rate lower than it has charged the roads.
 Secretary of Commerce Hoover says the advance of this half a bil- lion dollars to the railroads should be of material benefit to the whole country because.it will have a gen eral steadying effect on business. He looks upon the railroads as the key log in the existing commef- cial jam. He estimates that if this advance is made 100000 more men can be employed Sand he directs attention to the fact that the trans portation companies employ about 20 per cent of the labor of the country and buy about 20 per cent Of the equipment, supplies and other material sold in the United States.--- Ark.

He indicated by signs that ne had found the lump in the dry bed ol Ia stream northwest Of the fort Then he strolled out of the story over the horizon toward his Macken- zie River home.

But that is all he would divulge. He lived thereafter on what the frontier called the fat of the land. spending bis wealth with a lavish hand in the Peace River settlements. When he ran short of gold he went out into the woods and came back with pockets bursting with more. Efforts were made to follow him, but he was too cunning for his. trackers He was found frozen to death on the trail one day and took his SC. cret to the grave.
 The dry river bed is thought to have been once the channel of the Peace. It is known as Lost River though, except after heavy rains it never contains water It is twen- ty-fise miles northwest of Fort St Johns, which is on the eastern watershed of the divide

In fact, he managed to find consider able amusement over his clumsifiess, some two months ago, when he per mitted pair of new rubber heels to trip him up and hurl him headlong down two flights of stairs leading to the stoop of a neighbor's home. He was bruised bit instead of being killed outright. as would have happened in the case of some old fellow of sixty or seventy years; but he refused to call a doctor and has little to remind him of the fall now.

MT. Christensen says: Put me down as heartily in favor of an athletic program at the state fair. Count me in on any kind of meet and I will do what l can 10 boost 1t along.
