BEAUTIFUL LIFE OF
SARAH M. COOPER ENDS

Mrs. Sarah M. Cooper, mother of
Mrs. J. L. Champlin of this city, died
at the home of her daughter at an
early hour Tuesday morning, March
13, after a short illness. Mrs. Cooper
had been in delicate health since last
fall and an attack of bronchial pneu-
monia was more than the frailties
incident to old age could withstand.
On November 22nd of last year she
passed her S2nd birthday.
In her passing away the community
lost one of those beautiful, God fear
ing characters which had been an in
spiration and help to all with whom
she came in contact Mrs. Cooper
had been a lifelong member of the
Methodist church and an active
worker in church affairs. Always be-
lieving that it was more blessed to
give than to receive, she was gem
erous almost to a fault and ever con-.
siderate of someone other than her
self.
Possessed of strong constitution
she had been active in local church
and social work during the last years
of her life, giving freely of her time
and effort wherever opportunity was
offered.
Besides the immediate relatives she
leaves host of friends to mourn her
loss, for Mrs. Cooper was one of those
good, wholesome, Christian women
whom to know was to respect and to
love. Her kindly, generous disposi-

PLAN OF THE new
FARM CREDITS ACT
SHORT TIME LOAN SYSTEM
THAT is ADAPTED TO AGRI-
CULTURAL NEEDS
Special to The Heerald -

Special to The Herald
Washington, D. c., March 12.-The
agricultural credits act, passed by the
sixty-seventh congress in its closing
hours the first of the month, furnishes
the basis for a system of intermediate
credit adapted to farm conditions and
farm needs, according to Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace. The secretary
is of the opinion that quite likely ex-
perience will show need of amend
ments, but says the present act as
passed and signed by President Hard
ing will bring about a reduction in
the interest which farmers must pay
for money borrowed.
The. act, divided into two parts,
provides government agencies for
handling agricultural loans and auth
orizes the organization of private
agencies under government supervi-
sion for making loans on livestock
security and farm commodities on the
way to market.
Through Federal Land Banks
The government loan activities will
be carried on in connection with the
federal land banks, there being one in
each of the 12 districts of the country.
Each of these IL banks makes land
mortgage loans Each bank is under
the direction of the farm loan bureau
at Washington. In connection with
each land bank there is to be estab
lished an intermediate credit bank,
located at the same town as the land
bank, and under the supervision of
the bank officials.
Each of the 12 intermediate banks
is to be supplied with not to exceed
$5,000,000 by the federal govern
ment. These banks are authorized
to discount farmers notes which have |
been taken for from six months
to three years. The banks may also
loan direct to farmers cooperative
associations under conditions set forth
IN the act.
The credit bank may issue deben-
lures which will have back of them

There has, naturally, been strong
confidence in this city that the decis-
ion would be favorable to our cause,
and confdnce just as firm in the OPP
posite result at Poplar. But it has
been realized that the court might
rule either way, according to the
viewpoint taken. Evidently the
judgment of the court was that it
is better to leave the county offices
as they are until the contest can be
tried on its merits.
Does Not Affect Contest
The decision affects the final result
not in the least and certainty of Wolf
Points victory is thoroughly estab-
lished. It's valid majority of 1872 can
not be shaken and will probably be
substantially increased after the Pop
lar side has been gone into. SO far
as known no judge has been agreed
upon to sit on the contest case and, of
course, no date set for it to begin,
but these matters will be settled at an
early date.
At the last general election, when
the people of the county voted on
the question Of a permanent county
seat, Wolf Point received 2O02 votes
to 1910 for Poplar, a majority Of
1872. Judge Conner granted Poplar
a temporary restraining order and
after the hearing, begun on the goth
OF last December, Judge Green, for
business reasons, he stated, issued
an injunction pendente lite, holding
the officials at Poplar. Wolf Point
appealed from the decision.

The whole contest is merely play

LEASE TO LOCAL MEN

In this connection owners with
land to lease should remember
that the outsiders who are sure to
invade the field and seek to acquire
leases will do SO on speculation. The
local men, locally interested, who
are bringing in a rig to start the
actual development are entitled
to the leases where the owners
wish to sell them.

The Hot Springs district contains tin deposits of promise.
 The mineral output of the region tributary to the railroad in 1922 is to be credited as follows: Fifteen auriferous lode mines produced s3O5,88S in gold and S5,000 in sil- yer, and 216 placer mines produced S1,306,000 in gold and $S,919 in silver.

MINING ALONG ALASKA
 RAILROAD

The Alaska Railroad traverses a region rich in mineral wealth, whose resources have been disclosed by investigations of the De- partment of the Interior made by the Geological Survey, dur ing the last 25 years. The new rail- road directly serves the mining ln- terests of Kanai Peninsula, the Sus- itna and Matanuska valleys, and the central part of the Yukon basin, and will also improve the accessi- bilty of the entire Yukon basin. The mines of the vast inland region of Alaska that is now directly or indirectly served by the railroad have, under the primitive condi- tions of transportation that have existed in the past, produced min erals with s150,O0o.
 In 1922 the territory immediate ly tributary to the railroad produc- ed s2,O34.210 worth of gold, silver, coal, and a little lead, copper, and tin. Indirectly the railroad serves much larger mining region which in 1922 produced over s3,o0o,00o worth of minerals.
 On leaving the coast the railroad tra- verses Kenai Peninsula. where gold mining has been going on in a small way for 28 years. At Anchorage it is only a short distance from the Willow Creek lode district, which in the last decade has produced over S2,O00.O0O worth of gold. A branch line provides transportation for the high grade coals of the Matanuska field. hat already had stimulating effect on the development of other mining districts. The Yentna placer distric,, which produced by hydraul- ic and dredge mining s223,0O0 worth of gold in 1922, is accessible by 60-mile wagon road from Tal- keetna station. Between Anchorage and Broad Pass there are undevelop- ed copper deposits within 10 to 20 miles of the railroad:
 The railroad also traverses the western margin of the large Nenana Ignite field whose Ignite coal re- serves are estimated at over 5000 OOO,00O tons This field is the chief source Of fuel for. the great inland region of Alaska and it's develop ment, because the railroad con ztruction. has already stimulated placer mining in the nearby dis tricts. ~.:: .+
 About 50 miles west of the rail- road lies the Kantishna district where placer mining in a small way has long been going on. Here some promising gold and silver lodes have been found, and only the completion of a wagon road is needed to asure their de. elcpment.
 The district around Fairbanks, the railroad terminus, has since the dis covery of gold there in 1903 produc ed 3,6S6.976 worth of mineral, chiefly from the placer mines. Lode mining in a small way has been go ing on since 1910 but has beer hampered by the high cost of trans portation and the lack of coal This situation has been changed b. the building of the railroad. In 192. the Fairbanks district produces S725,273 worth of minerals, ant mining is now on the increase Tungsten, antimony and silverlea' lodes as well as gold, have beel mined in this district.
