QUAkERS IN LONDON MUST
 SEEK LARGER QUARTERS LONDON, March 31. - Devonshire

House, iii the old city of London, which for 250 years has been the of ficial headquarters of the Society of Friends, is to be sold at auction. This is because the ancient and historic building is too small for the cor stantly growing activities of the Quakers, most of which take some form of charity.
 The Quakers acquired a part of the building for a meeting house in the 17th century. The monthly meetings of the executive committee, called the Meetings of Sufferings, were held there A library of all books written by Friends was formed, and the quarters have become the repository of a valuable collection of relics, relating to the history and works of the Quakers.

RUSSIAN STATE BANK Is
 VERITABLE GOLD MINE

MOSCOW, March 31.-Ten million dollars worth of gold, in Ruusian rubles and glistening ingots of bull lion, are heaped up in the treasure vaults of the Russian State Bank, the results of one years activities of this Soviet financial institution.
 Twelve months ago it started do- ing business with a capital of de- preciated paper rubles. Under the management of old-time Russian bankers, who never hesitated to take big profits and urged along the same lines by the national necessity to accumulate real money, the bank has been adding daily to it's reserve fund.
 An American, for example, takes a perfectly good check for $500 to this bank to be cashed. He waits an hour and receives a slip of paper bearing calibastic figures showing that the cashier will hand him $475 for the check Thereupon he can easily understand how some of these prof it's have been made The State Bank has monopoly on foreign exchange, but it will pay in actual American or English currency for the checks it receives, and the average foreign CT much prefers to pay five per cent and receive real money, instead of an armful of Soviet paper.
 Another advantageous practice of the bank is to change dollars into rubles, paying practically the same rate as the money changers on the illegal bourse. The difference may be only a few thousand rubles on the dollar but it is enough to add to the constant trickle of profits to the State Banks till.
 At the beginning of 1922 it was estimated that about 30O,OOO,O0O gold rubles were still in the hands of the peasants and other private per sons in Russia, having been buried or slowed away in old socks against a rainy day. The opening of legal banking operations, and the frank winking on the part of government authorities at operations on the so- called illegal bourses, have coaXed many millions of this gold from it's hiding places. A considerable DOT tion has found it's way to the State Bank, which sends it's own agents to these illegal bourses and offers for this gold, and for foreign cur rency, higher prices than the private traders can afford. For this the banks, of course, pays only paper money of which it seems to have an ineXhaustible supply.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-01-18

One Of the stirring periods of
Indian warfare against the white
invader in Montana was In the
summer of 1877, when Chief
Joseph and his band of Nez
Perces warriors made their mem-
OrabIe march across Idaho into
Montana territory, and fought
standstiH in the battle Of the Big
Hole, which came near being a
repetition of the Custer disaster.
Between the battle of the Big Hole,
fought August 8, 1877, and the
time Of the surrender of Joseph to
General Miles in the Bear Paw
mountains in October of the same
year, there were many thrilling in
cidents. One of these was the
Horse Prairie massacre, which is
described by Alex. Cr~uikshank, a
young man who served General
Howard as a scout in the pursuit
Of the hostiles and who helped to
bury the dead after killing Of the
whites at Horse Prairie creek. Mr..
Cruikshank, whose graphic des-
cription of this incident is given
below, is still hale and hearty, Is
living at Junction, Ida, and is one
of the pioneers who have watched
the wonderful transition from the
old to a new Montana. Cruik-
shank's narrative was secured by
George r.. MetleD.
