An Indian Make Swap

A b. Ostrauder, a pioneer of wvo.
ming now spending his declining
years in New York thus writes on
early days in Wyoming to the New
York Herald:
IT first met Jim Brideer. the from.
tiersman, in the early winter of 1855.
81 at the suffers store. the nrincIna1
hangout for the old timers, at Fort
PM kearney. Dakota. near wyo-
ming. Some of these men were pio.
neers and pathfinders of the same
type as Jamie Boone. Simon Kenton.
Sam Houston. Davy Crockett and Kit
Carson.
when I entered the store mons
those sitting Town I noticed one man
Tilted back In a chair, with one arm
resting on the counter. His hat which
had once been OF light color but now
looked like smoke was pulled down
SO that it had nearly half of his
face.
Before speaking to any one I felt
that this must be old Jim Bridger.
Nearly every one coming In would
make 1t a point to walk past him on
the way to the stove with a Hello
Jim,' or How do. Jim?' and he
would sometimes reply by how or
more often by q. nod.
IN a few minutes a man I knew
came in, and after saluting Bridger
with a nod and How do?' stood by
the stove a few minutes and then
came over to the counter. At my
timid suggestion he introduced me ms
the kid, referring to an incident of
the previous fall; and subsequently
the famous frontiersman and guide,

over. passed favorably on the quail

given to me at Fort Laramie.
while I was there a big party OF
Crow Indians with their families
came to the fort to make swap The
mounted bucks came ahead in single
file, followed by a long string OF
squaws driving horses dragging tepee
poles loaded with robes, skins and
other goods. When the head of the
procession approached the fort thu
other end was just coming over the
top Of the hill. They came along the
north side, entered the largo gate in
the eastern Enclosure, and set up their
village in the extreme northeast cor

goods brought in for the swap. 1

could get one or two of those buffalo

Savings in the United States

TOTAL SAVINGS deposits in banks in the Unit
ed States amount to slightly more than s16,50o.
OO0,O0O according to an exhaustive study lust COM
pleted by the American Bankers association. This
total is in conflict with the estimates recently is.
sued by a United States government bureau, plac-
ing the total savings for the country at s97O0o.
O0O,OOO, a figure which is based on mutual savings
bank deposits and outstanding United States
bonds.
The present figure of sixteen and a half billions
includes savings deposits, certificates of deposit of
thirty days and over, and postal savings, for which
the most complete data yet compiled has been OBJ
tanned through a SPECIAL nationwide inquiry made
in cooperation with Comptroller of the Currency
Grissinger, the supervisors of state banks. and in.
dividual bankers.
The diversity of savings bank practice through.
out the country, and differences in social conditions
from section to section, make complete data and
safe intersectional comparisons difficult.
The variety of methods under which savings are
deposited offers further. proof of the fact that the
vast bulk of the peoples savings is entirely beyond
the control of any effective grouping of financiers
which can be conceived.

Tdxdtion's Independent Fart

DuRING the past few months northwestern states
have experienced a revival of their lumber in
dustry. Mills are operating, worlmen are being
employed, many %shiploads of lumber are moving
to various ports and thousands of cars are being
transported east.
The result is that lumber, the barometer of pros.
perity in the Pacific Northwest, is again employ
ing its thousands of workmen with resulting pros.
perity to many communities.
me question of taxation plays a most important
part in the lumber industry, not only through the
direct taxes paid by the industry itself but through
the taxes. paid by the owner of a cottage, a man.
sion, an office building or a railroad.
The higher the tax burden goes, the less the incen-
tive for the investor to put his money into physical
improvements which make him a fine target for the
assessor.
Construction work is the life blood of the lum-
Der industry. Therefore, any condition which dis.
courages construction, automatically reflects on
lumber production and the employment of labor.
AT the present time delayed building activity is re-
sponsible for the unusual period of new construc.
ton work.
Let us all strive for reduced taxation which in
the future will encourage rather than discourage
the investor in building enterprises. We could do
no other one thing which would be a greater sta
b1lizer and stimulant to production enterprise.

He sent his forked fire from Heaven
to bring Him a chart of the

And I have made n rainbow thing for

a Wonderful Record

fTHE CONSUMMATE skill with which the ma
- tion's finances have been handled is reflected
in the report of Secretary Mellon on the condition
of the treasury on June 80, the last day o fthe fiscal
year, 1922. An estimated deficit of $4,000, 900 has
been turned into an actual surplus of 1914, 600, 900.
100000
1t is probable that never before in the history
of the country has a fiscal year shown such a tire
financial policies. The gross extravaganza that had
featured the formed administration gave way to a
program of rigid economy when President Harding
took office on March a, 1921. 1t has been impossible
however, to estimate accurately the full effect of
