! S. Assay Office in New York is about
50 1910 100000 in bars OF gold and silver
and i'll coin. Mr.. Baker reported BY
far the greater part of it, about three
billion is in gold. This is estimated
to be about third of the gold supply
of the whole world.
The United States now holds more
; gold than ever before in its history and
more than any other country i'll the
world This is because we have be-
come the worlds greatest creditor ma
ton. We,are selling far more goods
than we are buying SO European
buyers owe money to manufacturers
and others in the United States.to bal
ance this trade credit. This is OF
course aside from the war loans that
our Government made to foreign gov
ernmcnts. The interest and principal
of these is an additional debt due here.
Since the foreign countries are not
now producing and sending to us en-
ough goods to offset their debts here,
they must ship money instead. This
they have been doing i'll the form of
gold, usually inthe shape of solid gold
bars. Under our free system OF coin
age OF gold, the United States Govern
ment must receive and coin into mon
ey, free of charge, any gold presented
to the treasury for that purpose. When
the foreign gold arrives here it is pre-
scented to the treasury, but instead of
being coined into gold pieces, it
is simply stored i'll the minis and paper
money is issued to represent it. This
money is then used to pay the debts OF
foreign traders in this country.
So it happens that our gold pile has
been growing very rapidly in the past
few years, The stream of gold began
to pour in about 1915. when the war
had cut off our imports, but we were
selling great quantities of war supplies
to Europe 1t has continued almost
uninterrupted since.

Better TRAIN SERVICE
FOR NEVADA SHIPPERS

Returning yesterday morning from
San Francisco, where on March IS,
livestock shippers and growers OF Ne
vada and California had their annual
sessions with freight officials of the
Southern Pacific railroad, Secretary
Metcalf. of the Nevada Livestock
association reported we'll attended
and beneficial meeting, says the Reno
Journal
Shippers and growers generally re-
ported improved livestock railway ser
vice during 1921 as result OF the adj
option by the railway officials of
many of the suggestions made at the
meeting a year ago. For Nevada
Mr.. Metcalf stated that shippers OF
livestock this year could look for con-
siderable improvement in feeding, wa
tcring and handling facilities at the
Sparks, Carlin and Montelo yards,
concerning which complaints have
been made in the past The twice.
d-Weck livestock extra, running lat
stock through from western Nevada
to San Francisco without unloading,
has been big success, generally
speaking. and for 1922 the service is
to be extended in northern Nevada by
4 oncc-a-week connection with this
livestock trains from points as far
north as Susanvillc Changes in
schedule are also to be considered so
as to give shippers of fat cattle and
lambs in the fall from eastern Nevada
better connection with the live
stock extra west from .Lovelock in
cases where shipments are not of
sufficient size for making a special
train
According to Mr.. Metcali, the big
benefits from improved livestock
railway service OF the kind mentioned
come from the ability to get fat
Lambs and steers from the range to
the market with less shrinkage in
weight and, therefore. greater re-
turns to the shipper

MANY INDIANS
ARE DESTITUTE

1t has been reported during the past
several weeks that number Of aged
Washoc Indians were in destitute
conditions at their huts in different
parts OF the valley This week O. @.
Haughcr. who has always taken more
or less interest i'll the welfare of the
aged Indians. wrote to Rev. Scott,
Indian Missionary worker in Reno, in
forming him of the unfortunate con
dition Of a number of aged Indians
who are reported on the verge of star
Walton, says the Gardncrvilc Courier
According to MIR. Scott. who has in
vcstigated conditions. many OF the In
dian families are in urgent need of
food. Mr.. Scott has given the board
OF commissioners list of the Indian
families that must be relieved at once.
During recent investigation of condi-
tons. he says. according to the Ga
zettc. he found many persons i'll want
including some old women and a
young Indian widow and small child
rem. This woman, he said. has been
feeding her children with scraps she
could pick up around Gardnerville
For the past number of years the
United States Indian department al
lowed a certain monthly amont to
care for the needy cases among the
local Indians with an agreement Of
support from the county commission
crs. Through these two sources the
needy Indians were amply cared for
AS matter of fact. many of the
young Indians. it is said, found that
it was quite easy to obtain food at
the huts where supplies had been furn-
ished. with a result that big. able
bodied Indians were getting the benefit
OF the support intended for the aged
and needy Indians
Last fall the Indian agents asked
the county to give its support to
the Indians as it had been in the past
but at the same time intimated that
the department would be unable to
help in the charitable work among
the local tribe.

SAN LUIS VALLEY TOUTED
AS COMING BIG OIL FIELD

The broken drill stem and bit.
for which the drillers at the tess
well at Hooper have been fishing.
was recovered late Tuesday after
noon while q large crowd of p,,o-
pie looked on. Wednesday. tie
drillers and helpers began trimming
out the well with an eleven and one
fourth inch bit so that they can
use any kind Of casing in the we'll
in the future.
1t will be several days before all
the mud has been cleaned out and
the suspended drilling operations
can go on. 1t will probably be .
week later before the lime through
which they are now drilling can be
penetrated. After that the well will
be brought in, and that decides
whether 1t will be a gusher. a pro-
ducer or duster.
The directors OF the Valley Oil
company are very optimistic since
recovering the lost drill stem and
are confident that the San Luis
valley will become one Of the grea.
est oil fields In the country.
The names Of Col. A. E. Hump
ries and Governor Shoup have been
mentioned among those interested
In this oil field.
The we'll is causing excitement
all over the state especially around
Denver. 1t is said that Denver peo-
pie and many well known finan-
ciers are buying leases. 1t is ex-
pected. II this well brings in oil
that these financiers will begin
drilling operations on nearby land.
Lots OF leases have been chang
ing hands. However most OF the
people are keeping a part OF their
leases. The prices vary. Reports
coming In from the we'll declare that
some OF the leases are bringing in
very high prices. Lots OF stock 10
being sold.
The Journal is advised that other
companies are already making nr-
rangements TO drill In this valley
and that the Center district. the
Del Norte district and others will re-
ceive attention from the oil geolo-
gists.

diversity his farming operations
that he will have several incomes
each year instead of only one or
two.
We don't want to quit raising
potatoes altogether or any other
farm product: but we should 20
regulate these crops. and the thing
applies to livestock, that the ex-
tent OF our operations fit into .
good constructive rotation system.
II we had all done this. we would
not be confronted today by the huge
overproduction Of potatoes and the
correspondingly low price Of the
same. The people Of the United
States consume around four bushels
Of potatoes per capita per year; 20
II We produce = hundred million
bushels more than the per capita
consumption. isn't II natural that
some Of these spuds are bound to

whole matter 10 up to the farmers
themselves.
The County Farm Bureau will
hold two meetings In the near fu-
ture. one At Monte Vista. the other

ings being to find out what the
people want done for the coming
season. then try 70 help them carry
out the same.
