Commerce Department officials have
been warned by Secretary Chaplin to
bar the word optimism" in referring
to business conditions at home and
abroad
Mr.. Chaplin told newspaper men yes
terday the word had been worked to
death" in connection with the recent
business revival More So" he add
ed, than the word Cooperation was
stressed in all quarters during the
World War period"
The new cabinet officer issued his
order while discussing the upward
movement of the general indices during
the last 60 days. He said there still
are serious problems to be solved be-
fore recovery can be said to approach
completion.
He stressed, however, there were
many points in the world economic
structure showing tangible improve
ment, but not sufficient to express
optimism" over.
Tangible improvement Seen.
The point is,'' he declared, that
while improvement is Spotty, the fig
ures now show that the spots are
larger each week. Each new activity
spreads strength besides that given in
its own industry"
At the first press conference, last week,
Mr.. Chaplin said he would not assume
the role of a business prophet" He
said it was his opinion that ANY man
who dareS to venture prediction at
this stage Of the game is foolish"
The Secretary reported the general
indices had moved further upward dur
ing the last week as retail and whole
sale buying increased and additional
improvement was shown in the manu-
featuring industries.
At the same time Mr. Chaplin an
nounced that during the first half of
September deposits held by banks re-
opened during that period were greater
than those locked up in institutions
closing their doors. The figures he
gave were: 122500Ou in banks which
reopened and S7,70O,0o0 in banks that
were closed
He said such was a reversal OF the
financial tide that was predominating

Factors at Wo,k Abroad.
The Secretary said the department 5
attaches in London. Berlin, Paris and
Amsterdam had cabled him yesterday
that there were many factors at work
abroad that show that those countries
have been involved in exactly the same
situation as we have here, but the re-
ports of the attaches show that the
attitude Of the people is improving and
there certainly Is a new confidence be-
ing exhibited.
Concerning domestic conditions, Mr..
Chaplin gave it as his conviction that

HAMILTON, Ontario, September %.
Mayor w. D. Hoan of Milwaukee told
the Great Lakes Harbors Association
yesterday that powerful influences of
Illinois were at work lobbying against
ratification of the st. Lawrence water
ways treaty.
Mayor Hoan. who is president of the
association. said we must not under
lies ahead OF us, because our opponents,
I may say, are ready in turn tc fight
this question before the Senate"
Reviewing the work of past years,
Mayor Hoan said the association had
successfully opposed the colossal steal

fba Ghcago sanitary he canal aala and
mined to hold the Chicafo officials to
the decree that the diversion must not
exceed $500 cubic feet pc. second"
Want Early Ratification.
The association had then turned to
the St. Lawrence waterway project.
said Mayor Hoan, and after years of
effort believed the project was within
its grasp. But it is up to us to finish
the job, and finish it right" he added.

the project was now in the stage where
ratification by both countries would
mean construction work could begin.
I'VE ask for ratification by the gov
ernments of both countries this Winter"
said Mr.. Craig, 80 that construction
work may begin in 1888 and the wa
terways be completed by 1886. We ask
that because we believe our cause is
just. that the project is economically
sound and the need for it widespread"
he said.
Approval Is Forecast.
G. A. Mcguire, Toronto, honorary
president of the Canadian association,
said he believed it was generally ac-
cepted in Canada that the Federal Gov
ernment would ratify the treaty.
William G. Bruce, Milwaukee, honor
ary president Of the American associa-
tion, said the verdict of eminent engi-
neers on the ST. Lawrence project was
that no such development ever was SO
feasible or simple of achievement.

DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK?
BY Edison r.. Waite

That one of the most unusual pri-
vate collections of relics of the late
Col, VIM. F, ((Buffalo BID Cody is
housed at the Albany Hotel, Denver,
Colorado, and Frank r. Dutton, one
of the proprietors of the hotel, takes
great pleasure in showing these to his
friends and guests Of the hotel.
Mr.. buttons collection is in a glass
case in the main lobby Of the Albany
and among the mementos may be
found some medals bust of the Wild
West hero which is made of old
Treasury Certificates and the SOM
brero hat in which Col. Cody per-
formed during many of his years in
the sawdust arena. 1t is broad
Stetson of sweeping design and one
can almost envision the flowing locks
of the old scouts couture and the roll
ed brim as the sombrero was waved in
mighty sweep of gloved hand in ac-
acknowledgement of the plaudits OF the
ringside. There is also the gold foun-
tain pen with which the famous
Frontier Scout signed the Albany
register on the occasion of his last
visit to Denver, a gift to Mr.. button
from the Colonels brother in-law.
Mr. Dutton has been invited to
place his mementos with other col
lections, but this he has not done
preferring to retain his own private
Museum of Buffalo Bill Mementos at
the Albany Hotel.
A huge oil painting of Buffalo Bill
is to be seen on wall in the Albany's
Foyer near the case, and the walls
of Mr.. buttons private office also
contain excellent photographs of the
scout hero.
Buffalo Bills grave is located on the
top of magnificent Lookout Mountain
truly a fitting resting place for the
remains of the famous scout. Neal
the grave is 'Pahaska Tepee," where
in one may view a large collection Of
Buffalo Bills relics, including various
guns, saddles, wearing apparel, tro-
phies, etc.
