painted yellow were taking part
in their first sundance and that
the ones painted the darkest were
the veterans. They had whistles in
their mouths and danced up to
the center pole and back, blowing
shrilly on whistles which they
held between their lips. Every once
in a while they would stop and

In the first years of this Mis-

older Indians understand the pur-
poses of the school or the need of
regular attendance. In 192S-29 there
were 142 enrolled in this school.

ON THE TRAIL
THRU WYOMING
(By C. B. MarshalD

Before leaving Riverton we were
driven around through the little
city which is about the size of
Wolf Point as far as population
goes, but which is built up in such
a way as to give the impression of
a considerably larger town. 1t was
laid out by the government in
August, 1906 to be a trading point
for homeSteaderS on the newly ced-
ed reservation lands. 1t received its
merge here, the Little and Big
Wind rivers, the Little and Big
Popo Agile, which is known as the
Big Horn river after it passes thru
the time the towns were laid out
the lots cost only the government
filing fee of $3.50, but some of the
early settlers met reverses, and
worry. In 1920 the town doomed
and some of the owners refused
$4,000 for the property their $3.50
lots had grown into.
Near Center o. State
Riverton is about 35 miles from
the exact geological center of Wy
oming. 1t has adjacent to it a vast
potential wealth of natural gas.
Wells produce over a hundred mil
lion feet of high power gas a day,
suitable for lighting, heating and
power purposes. This is a very
moist gas, and by passing it thru
a system of condensers it is pos
sible to obtain high test gas that
will run automobiles. A railroad
tie treating plant with a half mil
lion dollar yearly payroll and en-
ploying $50 men is one of the in
dustries of which they are proud. 6
A creamery, flour mill and ice |
factory are other industries. g
The Indian Country /
Leaving Riverton we were taken /
through the Indian country and q
reached Lander in the evening. +
The Arapahoe and Shoshone In r
dians live in the vicinity of River T

Both tribes were holding their a
dances the day we visited them, n
The Shoshone Indians live on the f
west end Of the reservation and n
the Arapahoes on the east end. f
There are about 1000 of each tribe n
on the reservation.

POSITION OF FRENCH
BANK Strengthened
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 23.-As a borrower
in the United States for the past sew
eral years, France has been the most
provident of the large European ma
lions. To some extern this was COM
PEELED by the situation developing out
of her failure to ratify the Mellon
Berenger agreement, which has now
been ratified by the French Chamber
Of Deputies by a small margin.
Under normal conditions this would
place France in a position to go ahead
and ask for American capital. From
a political standpoint, the doors would
be open for financial negotiations be-
tween the two countries. The debt
agreement, however, has been reached
at a time when the United States Is
short of capital to lend abroad and
when France, by the exercise Of q
strict national economy, has lifted her
self to a position of first rank among
the moneyed countries of the world.
It Is doubtful whether France Will
soon come to the American market for
new capital. Her banking position is
regarded as stronger than 1t has been
at any time in the past Is years. France
Is more likely to be lender than Dor
rover and to resume In time the credit
status which she had q quarter OF q
century ago when she was able to
finance Russia, Mexico, Turkey and many
other Of the smaller political divisions
of Europe.
France today dominates the money
markets Of Europe and is in q position
to influence the American money mar
ket decisively If she should wish at any
time to convert her present holdings Of
foreign exchange into gold. It Is esti-
mated by DIR. Benjamin M. Anderson,
IT,, that the Bank Of France today had
over 81 ,000, 900 900 in gold exchange.

MARYLAND PEACH CROP.

BALTIMORE, July % Especially -
The peach crop in Maryland this year
will amount to 1000 bushels, COM
pared with 465, 900 bushels and an aver
age production of 505,000 bushels for
the preceding four years. according to
s. r. Newell, Federal agricultural Stats
tician for Maryland.
The condition of apples on July /
points to total production of 2,266 900
bushels this year, as compared with
100000 bushels harvested In 1928, &C
cording to the report.
The preliminary estimate of the area
of potatoes for harvest in 1929 is 10000
acres. as compared with $1,000 acres
in 1928. Acreage Of early potatoes on
the Eastern Shore has been reduced ap-
proximately 40 per cent this year. but
the reduction in acreage from 1928 has
not been nearly as marked in other Sec
tons of the State. The reported con-
dition of potatoes at 81 per cent of
normal on July points to production
of 1888, 900 bushels this year.
