BEAUTIFUL MINING
CAMP ONLY MEMORY
COPPER TOWN IN NEW MEX
ICO NOW AN EMPTY SHELL.
VILLAGE COST MILLIONS.

Tyrone, queen of the mining camps
of New Mexico, built at cost Of $3,-
100000 and given an artistic atmos-
phere through the influence of Mrs.
Cleveland H. Dodge, is an empty shell.
A few brief months ago 4,500 men,
women and children worked, lived
and enjoyed life in what probably is
the most beautiful mining camp in
the world. Now the Phelps-Dodge
corporations big copper mines are
closed, there is no ore awaiting ship
ment, no means of livelihood remains,
stores have been closed, inhabitants
are leaving and the railroad has serv-
ed notice that trains no longer will
run.
Miners Lived in Bungalows.
Tyrone boasts the most beautiful
railroad station in New Mexico.
Homes of miners are bungalows, not
the usual shanty type of western min
ing camps. Company houses were not
built of one type. They are all differ
ent. The camp was the pet OF Mrs.
Dodge, and largely through her in.
fuence a southern California type OF
building was carried out. A hospital,
theatre, library, elaborate school build
ing and one of the best electric light
ing and power plants in the state are
the towns most important attractions.
Closing of the town, however, is
considered only a temporary measure,
according to company officials, who
point out that the shutdown will con-
tinue only as long as the copper mark
ct remains in its present state OF stag
nation.

OWL AND HER YOUNG
IN WHITE HOUSE TREE
Mother Bird Kidding Administration
OF All Its Pests, Says President.

Of All Its rests, OayS PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-You have
it here on no less an authority than
President Harding that rough on rats
grows in white house trees.
The particular nemesis of rodents
referred to by the president OF the
United States is a mother owl that is
bringing up three little owls in the
white house yard.
The president does not wish to pose
as nature faker, but he has seen the
three baby owls with his own eyes
and he has it on the word of a white
house night watchman, whose integri-
ty he does not question, that the moth
er owl is frequently making off with
rats.
"And so there is hope" the presi-
dent told friend today, that the
rough on rats growing in our own
yard will soon rid the administration
of all its pests"

EXCHANGE ADVANCES

The advance of sterling exchange
from $3.51A on December 80 to
$3.73% on January II seems to puz.
zle the financial writer's. The COM
bination of the following factors
would account for most of this rise
if not all:
1. The semi-public Bank of Eng.
land has considerable control over
the foreign exchange rate of English
money
2. The British government through
its agent here has undoubtedly bought
more grain and cotton than it needs.
3. A rise in foreign exchange here
causes rise in the prices Of grain
cotton and other products we have
for export
Hence the rise in English exchange
helps the English agent to unload
his purchases which he doesn't need
at higher prices. Two months fall
ing exchange enabled the English
agents to buy at low prices.
BY its control of exchange rates anG
ocean freight rates and by centralized
buying the British government car
influence the prices of our exportable
products either way by at least II
per cent. j = a.

{ WASHINGTON, D. c. Senator
Curtis of Kansas has been picked by
the Republican machine to introduce
legislation changing the form Of or
ganization of the federal reserve
banks. :.,7
: The principal thing in the new plan
is to have one central bank and
number of branches instead of the
present IL. federal reserve banks.
At first thought this might seem
like change without difference,
but its purpose is to strengthen the
power of the J. P. Morgan interests
and their close allies. Each Of the
IL regional banks is at the present
time organized and manned by the
national banks in the respective dis
tricts. Each, therefore, has some
degree of independence which would
not be possible If the regional bank
were merely a branch Of the central
bank 49,
Each federal reserve bank would
have to be more slavish in it's obedi-
ence to what is popularity known as
the money trust, than it is now.
N. o. BANKERS HURT SELVES
) Efforts of the state of North d.
kota to sell $6,500,000 worth of state
bonds to Wall street investment
firms have to- meet the misrepresen-
tations aJout the. state made by the
politicians as we'll as natural Wall
street prejudice.
The papers are quoting some bond
sellers as saying: 1T is a plain
business proposition in which the
risk is too great But they don't
explain further. because this bare
statement gives the impression that
there is something the matter with
the bonds.
The plain fact is that what the
bond brokers mean by risk is that
they may not be able to sell the
bonds because of what Northwest
bankers and politicians and kept
press have been saying about North
Dakota. There is no question about
the value of the bonds; there is no
risk in them so long as North Da-
kota remains on the map.
There is considerable poetic justice
in the situation, however, because the
selling of these bonds would aid the
hard-pressed bankers of North Dakota
more than any other group.

DICE LONG KNOWN TO WORLD
Amusement Is Probably the Most An
cient Game, According to Records
OF Old Writers.

The oldest amusement in the world
is dice-throwing.
In some form or another, dice have
existed in every period Of history.
They are shown on early Egyptian
monuments, and some dug up at
Thebes recently are exactly similar to
those in use today. They are men
toned in laws regulating games
played in ancient Greece and Rome
and most other countries in Europe.
The invention of dice is attributed
to Palamedes one of the heroes who
sailed against Troy, about the year
1244 b. O., but the use of cubes with
npmbered sides for gambling purposes
is probably much earlier.
Frequent passages in the works Of
ancient writer's and numerous repre-
sentations@ in marble and paintings
show how popular dice-playing was
among them.
