500 Claims
The Scobey paper gives a
picturesque description of the ex-
element in that part Of the coun-
try.
The sleepy little villages Of Cor
onach and Fife Lake, Sask., just
a few miles north of Scobey, be-
came busting frontier towns over
night, with milling crowds of
strangers, prospectors, sight-seers,
promoters, lawyers, farmers and
policemen when the word spread
Monday morning that $50 Yam
kes" had begun setting up min
ing claim stakes in Goose Creek,
running between the W. villages.
And now every foot of the dry
creek bed has been staked, and
many farmers find carloads OF mo-
florists tramping over their wheat
fields, setting up stakes, wiring
off their choice hoped-to-be mines.
A closeup of the stakes shows the
number of the stake, the name of
the claim and the day, hour and
minute the stake was set us.
Last Chance" Prosperity,
Corinth, Fern, Fighting Dog, Ar
gonne, Chateau Thierry, Marquis,
Byng, Pershing Joffre,, Another
Sucker, The Nugget, etc, etc, are
just a few of the> spectacular
names found on the stakes, which
tell a little story all their own and
reveal to some extent the nation
alities, tendencies and experiences
in the lives of the individuals who
hope to find the glittering wealth
where abundant wheat crops are
produced at a loss.
Promoters Busy
Who started it? What caused
the sudden rush? Where's the
gold?
When answering those ques-
tons the promoters speak little
English but they Immediately
produce assayers reports showing
Sample No. 1 assaying S1.10 to
the ton" while samples 2 and 3
assay as high as $500 the ton, and
tell you about a 100000 drege
they are getting which will dig
down, find water, float in the wa
ter it finds and pour gold into the
laps of all those who will join the
corporation lat 5000 peri at the
rate of $4,000 per day.
She's here boys" you r as
sured. There's gold all through
here, coolies of it," But you ask,
"where would be a good place to
stake out?"
"Any place around here is
good" is the prompt rejoiner.
Then (aside) I'VE have some
mighty good ones left, the very
best, and you come up early in
the morning and We'll locate you
where you can't help but hit it
rich, make yourself independent

AN INSPIRING ACT
(From Great Falls Tribune)

V--V- -V-V -"- --T-"""-
From Seattle comes the report that John Leckney, 77year-
old hermit, native of Latvia, has left his estate of S2515 to the
United States to be applied to the war debt of his native country.
His bequest was inspired by his regret that the land of his birth
had failed to arrange to meet its obligation to the American
union.
One might conclude that the refuses gesture was fantas-
tic. No doubt that is true; but it expresses an attitude beautt
full to find. We do not know whether Leckney had become
naturaized or remained a citizen of the small Baltic republic
which was formerly a Russian province. Regardless of that,
it is evident that this humble dweler in America had a deep
appreciation of the blessings of this country and at the same
time possessed an understanding of the nobility that should per-
wade any government.
Patriotism, loosely defined, is love OF country. That love
should transcend mere fanaticism. It should include the desire
to make the country all that it ought to be as a vehicle of gov
renment, of justice, opportunity and humanity. Hence, we as
citizens should strive in a practical way to vitalize the ideals
on which the nation was founded. That is what the country
needs most of ali
Perhaps John Leckney had a simple conception of that very
thing. 1t grieved him that his native land should be remiss
in its obligations, and he felt that he had a personal RESPONSE
bilty. His little bequest will settle no war debt, but the amount
has been credited to Latvias accountant the world has re
ceived an inspiring lesson.

ApprOved By Committee Seek Police Protection for
 Children Near School Crossings

Regulation of the school calen- Ger for the balance of the year so hs to make up for the time lost due to the late opening date of fhe schools on account of the in- xantiIe paralysis epidemic was sub snitted to the town school commit tee at a meeting held yesterday afternoon in Superintendent of Schools Harold E. Chitetnden's of- flee and met with the approval of the committee. The schedule as drafted by Supt Chittenden calls for sessions totaling 180 days, thus complying with the state law. Un- der the schedule adopted there will be a two-day vacation at Thanks giving, Thursday and Friday, with sessions being resumed on the fol- lowing Monday. The Christmas recess will extend until January 4. The schools will close on February 26 for a weeks vacatoin, sessions being resumed on March z. An- other vacation will be had from April 29 until May 9. The schools will close for Memorial day, May 80, and from then on sessions will be uninterrupted until the clos- ing date June IF.
 Want Protection for Children.
 Supt Chittenden informed the committee that he had a confer ence with Chief of Police John A. Adamson in reference to having officers stationed near the schools when children are going and re- turning from sessions. Chief Ad- amson informed him that at the present time no officers are avail able for this work and the de- partment budget will not permit of putting on extra officers. It was suggested at committee meeting some time ago that the janitors act as traffic officers near the schools, this suggestion has been frowned upon by the committee members.

NEW CREDIT BANK OPENS IN
 WALL ST AREA
Its Quarters Are Same Used in Liquidating Most
 Disastrous Failure
BY DEXTER H. FEED NEA Service Writer

New York - Headquarters of the National Credit Corporation, the Hoover er-conceived organization for loosening up the frozen assets of the country's banks by raising some $SOO,000,000, Is now doing business in the same rooms where assets of Americas worst bank tall- ure were liquidated.
 Offices of the Bank of United States debacle have literally been showed into a corner. and now the new constructive scheme is taking it's place with high hope that con fidence will be restored and the rout of the depression started.
 The headquarters offices are on the sixth floor of the Federal he- serve Bank of New York at 33 LiD- erty street, only three blocks from Wall street, in the heart of the H. nancial district of America.
 Everything New
 The offices are new but unlm- pressive. Yet in them one Of the greatest financial maneuvers in history will be watched by the na- ton. Mortimer N. Buckner, presi- dent of the credit corporation, as- sembks his staff with knowledge that they are meeting a crisis.
 Even with half-height parti- tions erected in one end of the floor space, a sweep of bare con- crete walls and pillars extends in the opposite direction. If neces- ssry, officers say, it will be easy to expand as more room Is needed.
 Though possibly a billion dol lars will be handled indirectly. not one cent will ever be in the offices. It will all be represented on paper, and as dozens of stenog- raphers, young executives and as- sistants labor diligently to make the plan operative money will flow in and out only by symbols.
 The 12 directors of the gigantic corporation may never see the of- fices. They are back in their own Federal Reserve districts directing their own organizations as suggest ed by President Buckner.
 Many Seek Jobs
 Upon their shoulders will rest the responsibility of raising a huge sum by asking banks to subscribe two per cent of their outstanding deposits. Each bank can draw on the central fund up to the amount subscribed even if 1t has not paid in the entire amount. Banks in need can have more than the sub scribed amount to meet an emer- gency if other banks in their dis tricts agree.
 So the headquarters here will be simply executive offices with President Buckner watching every development around the country Working with him is a small staff which will be gradually increased as necessity arises.
 Already bankers temporarily out of work because of the de- pression are seeking positions with the new corporation. If i, weren't for the steady chatter oi typewriters and the incessant scanning of long sheets of paper it would appear like an employ ment agency. But 1t gives the off. ces a business-like aspect even be- fore work is fairly under way.

BILL DAVIS"
 IS STILL TOPIC

Ranger. Tex. (UP)-This West Texas city is still talking about the case of Bill Davis," negro trash wagon driver, who until his death concealed the fact that he was Buck Carter, heir to Oklahoma oil lands worth more than $1.000, 900.
 "Davis' had driven his ram shackle trash wagon about Ram gers back alleys for ten years. When he became i'll at 40, he told friends his real identity. He was the son of a negro, who had been enriched through ownership of q large farm in the Carter oil field of Oklahoma.
 Relatives, aided by Oklahoma officers. confirmed his real identity. It was revealed that n S10,OOO rec ward for information regarding Carter's whereabouts had been of. Tered for several years.
 It was believed that Carter con- eealed his identity because of q misunderstanding arising from Eouble over mortgaged property.
