Drop in Prices of Northwest

cial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The most
significant thing about today's bond
market was the indication that in
vestors had taken alarm at the con-
tinued decline in the market price of
the stocks of the northwestern rail-
roads and the conditions that such
decline represents. 1t was to be ex-
pected that confidence would be
shaken by such incidents as a re-
ceivership for the Minneapolis and
st. Louis railroad and by doubt as to
the continuance of the present divi-
dend on the stocks of the Hill roads.
The effect of the current pessimism
as to the railroad situation in that
market for such prime issues as
Great Northern 514s and Northern
Pacific SIS.
To less degree the same was
true of the higher coupon rate issues
selling at premium, the Great
Northern Is and the Northern Pacific
6s. 1t was not that there was so
very much change in the price at
which actual sales were made as II
was that these bonds were in supply
at concessions. 1t is not meant to
imply that any doubt was expressed
bonds, which are among the best of
railroad issues. The opinion is that
1t Is unusual for bonds of this grade
TO be responsive to anything but
changes in the money market.
The entire bond market was a little
lower. Il. & o. descriptions were ex-
ceptions, both the convertible AVS of
1888 and the Pittsburgh. Lake Erie
and West Virginia As of 1941 holding
very firm. Erie issues also. although
little lower, were well taken and
holders were much encouraged by the
very favorable earnings statement for
June. Minneapolis and ST. Louis
bonds added TO their losses of yester-
day following the receivership an
nouncement. Some support was found
for the refunding As around the low
level.
There was no very great change In
the foreign list.

Some of the fractions were lower,

The year 1922 will always be re-
membered by lovers of the American
Indian, as the year that saw the
opening of great monument to his
memory, the Museum of the Ameri-
can Indian, Heye Foundation, in New
York City.
This wonderful institution is the
result of unceasing labors on the part
of its director, George G. Heye. From
childhood he had been interested in
Indian productions, and had collected
number of representative speci-
MEMS In 1903 he obtained his first
archaeological collection which came
from prehistoric Pueblo ruins in So
zorro county, New Mexico. With this
as a nucleus the collection grew
apace. Many large accumulations
were obtained and expeditions we're
soon afield which added materially
to the value of this ever-increasing
embryonic museum.
In 1906 systematic research work
in Ecuador was undertaken, and the
results have given our country the
most complete collection of prehis-
toric artifacts from this region to be
found in the world, and the results
of the field explorations were pre-
scented to the scientific workers in
the form of two large illustrated vol
umes, which were distributed in this
country and Europe-museums, IL
braries, and individual specialists be-
ing presented with this tangible evil
dence of the work that one private

collector was doing to further the
cause of anthropology.
While collecting in a private way
Mr.. Heye had ever before him plan
for a great museum that would con-
tain everything pertaining to the life
and activities of the American In
dian, and in 1916 his hopes became
realities, and the cornerstone of the
new museum was laid. With the aid
of a board of trustees the building
the casing, and the collecting and in
stalling of over a million and a half
specimens has been made possible,
and, on November Is, 1922, the doors
of the museum were thrown open to
the public, and now on weekdays,
Sundays, and holidays, those who are
interested may enter at will, with
no thought of an admission fee, and
with access to everything that the
museum contains.
The director feels the urgent need
of gathering in the material evidence
of our fast disappearing tribes. In
this great search for specimens the
future alone is considered. The in
dividual counts for little in the great
scheme of the universe, but each can
do his share to help along in great
movements such as this whose object
