The Frontier Still Lives

Our foreign friends have two pictures of Amer
lea. One is of an America which is all New York,
clatter and uproar and high buildings and modern
efficiency and convenience. land where people
push buttons, and light and heat and even food
comes forth. A land Ct ease and cream and silk.
The other picture is of the stuff that wild west
novels made ola land of wild forests and
tomahawkng redskins, of wild animals and log
cabins and deep SHOWS and hardship of all sorts.
We laugh at the foreigners for this latter picture,
but we ourselves are sometimes laughable for
assuming their first picture to be rather true Of
America as whole.
We think of this entire country from coast to
coast a vast expanse of modern civilized living.
Just day ago Mrs. Peter Hornado of Camp
Nine Stanilaus, Calf, opened her cabin door to be
sprung upon by ravenous wolf
With her bare hands she fought him. Her cloth
ing was torn from her, ard her body bleed
ing mass of torn flesh when she ran into the cabin,
the VOLTS teeth still in her he went with her. She
hit him with a chair and the beast ran out the door,
only to spring in again through open window.
Finally neighbOrs came and the wolf was killed.

The Shirt That Counts

The prospect of Christmas was rather drear for
the tepositcrs of the Arkansas Valley Bank Of Fort
Smith, Ark Last spring one of its directors robbed
the institution of $ll240O and to top it all off just
last week another embezzlement Of $4,000 was
discovered. The bank faced the prospect OF a run
on the bank on Christmas eve.
But for this, as we'll for many another Christ
mas crisis, there hero John c. Gardner,
president of the Arkansas Valley Trust Company,
was the man. Last Wednesday night, after fellow
bankers Of Fort Smith had declared they would
not absorb the assets and liabilities of the failing
bank for the $4,000 guarantee subscribed by its
directors Gardner called in the business men Of
the town.
II was up to them he told them, to- guarantee a
sufficient amount to insure the absorbing banks
against any loss exceeding $4,000.
Bitterly opposing factions met common ground
Old quarres, ancient and bitter business rivalries
were forgotten A helping hand extended to
the unfortunate bank Doctors, lawyers, merchants
: and chiefs guaranteed $4,000.
= The other banks in the town absorbed the failing
institution. The smallest depostor's mite was
protected 1t Christmas evening, but the spirit
shown is something uncommon.

Buffalo Sanctuary

The suggestion of VanCampen Heilner, eminent
naturalist that the government should intervene to
halt the proposed slaughter of herd of buffalo
on Antelope Island. Utah, is one that instantly
strikes popular chord.
According to Mr.. Heilner, this is the last Of the
wild herds that once roamed from the Mississippi
- the Pacific coast The part that the buffalo
played in the early days Of the country is too well
known to rehearse. It supplied food to our early
settlers, without which it is possible that the west
ward movement Of the middle Of the last century
might have been long delayed.
Mr. Helner suggests that the government pur.
chase the animals and the island and
m6ke it . sanctuary and breeding ground for the
herd. The storm Of protest that swept the country
with word Of the proposed slaughter indicates that
popular sentiment would back up Washington were
