AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER*
OFFERS PI AN FOR
SILVER REVIVAL
Relation of the American sil
ver mining industry of the
world at large and to the Ori
ent in particular, is credited
with being one of the principle
subjects of discussion in east
ern business and financial
circles. Edward S. Van Dyck,
financial authority, has offer
ed the suggestion that America
apply the principles that un
derlay British action in regard
to the rubber industry, says
the Wallace (Idaho) Press
Times Mining Review.
After reciting the evils that
now beset the silver miners,
Van Dyck declared that Amer
ican silver is in the same po
sition as British rubber. Brit
ain has the rubber supply of
the world and 80 per cent oi
the world’s silver is either min
ed in the United States or con
trolled by American capital.
Britain never hesitated when
bankruptcy threatened the
rubber industry, Van Dyck as
serted, adding that the United
States should not hesitate
when her silver industry is
threatened.
He proposes, in bric-f, that
all debts owed the United
States be made payable in sil
ver at $1 an ounce and that
similarly, payments by the
United States be made in the
same form. Congress could
easily and quickly provide the
legislation, Van Dyck declar
ed.
Prosperity in the west is
threatened by this situation,
and further, by Britain’s desire
to establish the gold standard
in India Van Dyck insists. He
shows that the trade with the
whole Orient will be affected.
“When Britain found she had
a rubber monopoly and that
monopoly was threatened, she
took measures to make the
monopoly pay,” said Van
Dyck, “Why should not Amer
ica do the same?”
TIME NECESSARY
'
Rome was not built in a day
and mines were not made
j over-night. Even under the
| most favorable circumstances
j it is usually a long, hard pull
j from the prospect stage to re
; alization of production and
dividends, but if mining prop
erties are well selected, intelli
gently developed, adequately
financed and honestly manag
ed, they hold forth a promise
of profit such as can be rare
ly realized from any other
form of investment.
Investors are prone, however,
by reason of misleading propa-1
ganda fed to them constantly !
and persistently by designing
and dishonest promoters, to
expect results in jig time from !
a mining development enter-;
arise where the physical ob- j
-tacles to be overcome must
lecssarily consume a consider-;
able period of time. If they
could use common sense, they
would realize the folly of such
expectation. On the other 1
hand, they have to guard |
igainst being induced to par
icipate in alleged develop
ment enterprises involving in-;
tensive labor and large ex
penditures over a long period ,
of years, with no adequate as- j
;urance that success will ulti- j
mately be attained. 1
A well planned mining op
eration necessarily involves
a reasonable amount of time
n its execution.—Northwest

F ADVERTISING STOPPED,
‘‘What would be the react
on upon the cost of living if
rdvertising ceased and its
oeneficient force were stop
oed?” This question, asked by
he Fourth Estate, provides
nuch food for rumination.
It is an interesting conjecture.
Advertising largely takes the
olace of personal selling ef
ort, which i3 very much more
expensive.
A California editor cogitat
ing on the possibility of a ces
sation of advertising says:
It would mean that our rail
road trains would be throng
ed with salesmen whose home
ward bound mail would carry
fewer orders, all of smaller
volume than now.
“Distribution upon the pres
ent scale would be impossible.
Manufacturing would fall off,
with a consequent decrease in
labor demand. Jobbers would
find their business proportion
ately limited. Retailers would
make fewer and slower turn
overs. Prices of all commodi
ties would take a rise that
would make war prices and
ante-war prices seem low by
comparison.”

MAN: BUILDER
Man is the builder of his own
fortune. The mark he sets is
the plan by which he will work
and the blocks with which he
will build are the hours of
today. An hour misspent today
is a block mislaid which must
be torn out tomorrow and re
placed. On the other hand, an
hour improved today is the
block laid trim and true that
may be forgotten but that will
'tar.d the ravages of the storm
and leave the tomorrow for
rther blocks.
The time allotted to man in
which to complete his building
is short; old age is the task
master swooping down upon
he worker toiling with mis
laid blocks. Men who misuse
heir hours of youth will spend
>1?1 age tearing down and re
building in feverish but futile
haste to spread a protecting
•oof over their declining years.
Not so with the man who
makes every hour count in his
>uilding plan. His walls shall
defy the chill blasts of old age.
Just for Fun
Modern young people are as
hard to understand as their
parents.
\
The person who has complete
•ontrol of his conduct doesn’t
try to control that of others.
A Well-to-do man is one who
has all the money he needs
but not enough to make a fooi
of him.
The modern mother doesn’t
have to attend lectures to list
in to advice to mothers. Her
daughter gives her all the ad
vice she needs.
A lot of women spend tne i
first years of their lives tak
ing tonics to get fat and the
last years taking dope to get
thin.
It is getting so that if a girl
really has a lot of modesty
you’ve to guess at it just as
you used to guess at some oth
er things she kept out of sight.
Women are adopting many \
masculine ideas, but the reason
they don’t have as many pock
ets in their clothes as the men
do is because there would be
more pockets than clothes.
The rich old guy who marries
a chorus girl has one advan
tage, he can see what he is
getting.
Modern morality is easier.
Eve would have thought twice
about the apple if there had
been neighbors to find out
about it.
“And you say you lost control
of your car?”
“Yes, I couldn’t keep up the
installments.”
“Triplets,” announced the
nurse to the proud father.
“Really,” he said, “I can hard
ly believe my own census.”
Motorist: “These chickens in
the road cause a lot of acci
dents.”
Farmer: “But not as many as
the chickens beside the driv
er.”
The African Baptist church
was making a drive for funds
and two colored sisters were
bearing down hard on Uncle
Rastus.
“I can’t give nuthing” explain
ed the old darky. “I owes near
ly everybody in this here ole
town already.”
“But said one of the collectors,
“Don’t you think you owe the
Lord something too?”
“I does, sister, indeed,” said
the old man; “But he ain’t
pushing me like my other cred
itors is”
Something ought to be done
to stop the proposed invasion
of Mexico by the Ford car.
Conditions, down there are
shaky enough already.
How would you classify a
telphone girl? Is it a business
or a profession?
Neither it is a calling!
“My girl is a live wire.”
“What daya mean—fulla
pep?”
“No, everything she wears is
charged.”
A Scotchman went into a doc
tor’s office to have some
Winters removed from his
tongue.
‘This is a most extraordinary
accident,” said the doctor.
“How in the word did it hap
pen?”
“Well, you see, Doc., I was op
ening a bottle of Scotch at my
house the other night and I
spilled some of it on the floor.”
This startling advertisement
recently appeared in a town
newspaper:
“The ladies of the Plum Street
Church have discarded clothes
of all kinds. Call at 44 North
Plum Street and inspect
them.”
“Write me a story,” said the
teacher, “that contains some
references to religion, to the
nobility, and to modesty. And
it must be short.”
Ten minutes later Johnny
raised his hand “Well, Johnny,
let’s hear what you have writ
ten.”
And Johnny read: “My Gawd,
said the Countess, take your
hand off my knee.” .
Virtue always triumphs. The
same wind that frisks skirts
abqut (fills pryjng eyes with
dust.
The fellow who looks ahead
usually gets ahead.
Thinking that you are better
than others is a positve proof
that you are not.

Reliable Information
Relative To
PORTLAND CANAL
MINING DISTRICT
A miserly old map visited one
of his relatives uninvited.
One morning his little niece
approached him unexpectedly,
with the indignant question:
“Uncle are you a cannibal?”
The old man was startled,
and said:
“No, of course not, my dear;
but what you makes you ask?”
The little girl replied: “Oh,
I thought you must be, because
mamma was saying this morn
ing just as you came in that
you always lived off your
relatives.”
