The conditions described by Mr. Grahsm
are confirmed by John Brandt, secretary
of the Nebraska Havings and Loan as

there is nothing doing in the way of new

pntnnanv comments on the Situation thus
".Whatever the outcome of the election, the
farm mortgage la not going to be affcctj-J
Jt Is one of tho securities which makes
Its own market. This Is what makes the
business of tho farm loan mortgage men
preferable to that nf the loan men- who
1 axe placing money on city property, though
as far as I know at this time there is no
reason why first-class . tlty . mortgoges
should be affocted by the possibility of a
change in the nations! administration.
"Personally I should like to see the farm
loan men organise. The day of co-opera
tion In business and social affairs Is with
us and the tlmo long ago past when It was
possible for the Individual to succeed with
out taking Into account the opinion and
efforts of his neighbors and of those who
have similar interests In life with himself.
Tills Is just as true with the farm loan
buskltss as with any other and It will be
only a matter of time when the lonn agent
of the west will have their state and na
tlonal organizations with tho complete
equipment of Intelligent officers and work
ing plana of operations that will add 1m
mensely to tho accomplishments of their
Industry. It Is In no way a disadvantago
and It is In many ways a positive help
to have such associations, and It Is some
nat remarkable that the farm loan men
it the west have been so slow to seise
upon their best interests along this line."
During the week the center of Interest
has been in the farm land business, the
drawing in South Dakota for lands on the
Rosebud reservation eclipses anything
wViclJ agrtTsT or" dealers Jn city .' property
could offer.
The, conditions on which , the Rosebud
land Is offered has apparently made tio dif
ference. The seekers after lands have
gone Into the nosfbud country, spent good
money to get there promised' to spend a
large sum If thry draw a number which'
I hey think will give them a good piece of
land and considered themselves lucky. Ac
cording to the best authorities In Omaha

stead law In both North and South Da

'or proof that "western land" is a term
which signifies fixed value now. Mr. Os
burre cites an experience: "In 1S98 I made
a trip to Iloldrege, Neb.," he says. "At
that rime It was a thriving village In
l'hclps county, surrounded with a good
farming country and lands selling at that
tllne at JIO to t2 per acre. My next atop
over on this trip wis at Hustls, a small
and thrifty village In Frontier county,
where land values average about JIO per
acre In the vicinity. My next stopover was
at Ilnlyoke, this side of Cheyenne and
that place waa a small railroad town sur
rounded by apparently god level lands
used solely by cattlemen for grazing pur
poses. The changes are quite a surprise.
I have recently been over this land and I
carefully noted the Improvement In each
locality. For instance, I find -land In
Phelps county now selling for from Sou to
SMI per acre. In Frontier county laud Is
selling for from W to ) per acre, with
many farm Improvements equal to eastern
Nebraska or Iowa."

Wen "Weary Willie" travels nl ng th
dusty rond. or sppesrs In the Illustrated
weeklies he do"S nit lo k like a serious
problem. But when It Is stated by a
prominent railway officlsl that vagrants
cost the American railways st Irsst tVi.
OnO.onO a year, because of their depreda
tions, the nistter looks n ore serious. Or
lando F. Lewis, secretary of the Natlowtl
Committee on Vagrancy, has recently re
ceived from a half hundred railroads In the
United states tho latest word regarding va
grancy on their lines. Thla Information
will be tabulated and published shortly, as
an Important contribution to our knowl
edge of vagrancy. We are today able to
quote a few of the more Important state
ments. W. II. Canniff, president cf the Nw
York, Chicago & St Loula railroad, states
that on one occasion during June 103 men
were ejcted from one of the freight trains
of the company In a Journey of 132 miles.
J. E. Chllds, general manager of the New
Tork, Ontario Westerns aays that therV
are probably BO per cent more vagrants
passing over the line than a year ago.
Typical dcpr-flatlnna of these vagrants are
hold-ups and breaking Into cars and sta
tions. The Norfolk & Western reports,
through Its president, thst the Increase in
vagrancy over a year aso is 26 per cent, a
fact particularly wjticeabla In the Increased
robbery of oars. "We have bad," reports
the president, "Instances of brakemen and
conductors being killed or assaulted In at
tempting to eject trespassers, and not all
of these trespassers are vagrants and with
out means."
George B. Flsfle, general manager of the
Northern Pacific, reporta that the line Is
more troubled with vagrants this year than
ever before. . They pilfer cars, set fires
along the rlght-of-wsy, build fires Inside of
cars, use the company's materials for the
construction of shanties, terrorise the oc
cupants of section houses and commit the
various usual depredations.
. The Pennsylvania railroad, reporting
through Its president, shows that it Is
thoroughly stirred up by tho trsmp nut
ssnce, and durlrsr April, May and June,
, made S.JlM) arreais, as against l.tH4
arrests for August, September and Octo
ber, 1907.
These quotations might be extended many
times. The dally papers, however, give
other striking slatenients. In some of the
eastern states there Is n plague of yegg
piep, committing petty thefts., breaking
into stores, robbing; farm houses and. In
general, commlttlt.g various kinds of law
lessness. These "yeggs" are accustomed to
travel on freight trains. Fortunately for a
woman who had been threatened by a va
grant at, Camden, N. J., recently, her hus
band waa at home and gave the beggar a
mind thrashing. When such things hap
pen the police often make a "roumd-up,"
which, because spasmodic and because the
vagrants are frequently let off with a sus
pended sentence, has little effect.
A New Torker Interested In the tramp
question, who for a yearMias gathered
from all over the United States clippings
relating to vagrancy, snys that the most
striking thing about the clippins la the en
tire absence of plans anywhere for treat
ing the question of vagrancy vstematic
ally. ir also states that far too frequently
there come to his attention reports 'of most
atrocious assaults yDon.. WiUiien and chil
dren, these brutal ' crimes" 'being possible
because of the continued Indifference dis
played by most communities toward any
systematic plan for reducing vagrancy. He
says further:
"What can we do? Several things are
simple and effective'. ' We can refuse food
nt the door. We can make work a re
quirement for a subsequent meal. We can
urge thut vagrants receive reasonably long
sentences when arraigned before magis
trates. If they are evidently habitual va
grants. So far as possible co-operation
ought to be maintained between railroad
police and city police. Unless tramp tres
passers upon railways are convicted when
arraigned In court the railroads have little
power to reduce railway trespass. City
police should not tolerate evident vagrants
upon the streets of the city. We should
endeavor to obtain when possible more
adequate vagrancy legislation. If railway
trespass Is at present not covered by our
laws, it should be. So long as towns or
cities must stand the expenses of vagrants
committed to Jail or to the workhouse. Just
so long will towns or cities be loath to
commit. The maintenance of committed
vagrants should be a state charge. Most
Important of all among measures that can
be at once adopted la the necessity of ac
compnnylng a sentence for vagrancy with
hard labor. Wherever hard labor is re
quired, too, vagrants become suddenly less
I In number.
J "In connection with work the labor col
ony bill Is to be Introduced Into 'he New
I Tork legislature next winter seems a most
interesting attempt to reduce vagrancy.
ine diii, rramed by specialists in charitable
work. In New York state, proposes an ap
propriation for a labor colony to which
habitual vagrants shall be committed, their
terms to be indefinite. Good care, good
food, a reasonable amount of real work,
reformatory influences, a parole, system
and a chance to learn a trade are among
Its principal features. The bill la modeled
In many respects upon compulsory labor
colonies which have already proved their
auccsa in Europe. Of course, one labor
colony will not solve the vagrancy ques
tion, but It will make a good beginning
and will be watched with great Interest as
an important experiment." Pittsburg Dis

JLixri. ff So
Progress before precedent Is as appli
cable to the construction of houses, as to
national legislation. We can easily under
btarul why our forefathers la their pri
mitive way, built their habitations of wood.
It was necessary to clear, the land of tim
ber, In order to obtain open fields for culti
vation, and us there was no contractors
In tlioso days, each mun hewed his own
home, out of the forest, thereby muklng hia
labor serve a double purpose. Clay pro
ducts were unknown in the country at
that time. Tlicso primitive homes were not
bouutlful, but there gradually evolved from
the necessities of frame construction,' a
classic style called the "carpenters' re
naissance," but more specifically, it Is the
colonial architecture in wood. They are
homes In -their way, but we have as a
nation outgrown them and necessity has
brought out other and more durable, ma
terials with which to shelter our families.
Our stately forests are fast disappearing
before tho hand Hi search of gold, but old
Mother earth still remains and from her
bottomless clay beds we must obtain our
building material of tho future the uses
of which are so well known In the present
day and have long since been tried and
not found wanting.
The. wooden age of house building be
longs to the past. It Is fitting and proper
from every view-point to make our houses
of brick today, as It was to make them
of wood in the olden times. It is unques
tionably a more durable construction and
therefore more economical. A perishable
material must be very cheap indeed If It
is less expense in the long run, tuau a more
durable, subxtiuue, but wood construction
is not cheap under the prevailing prices of
lumber. In addition to the durability and
economy of brick construction is the wider
range admitted In the matter of beauty,
Even age adds to its beauty, Instead of
fcwudual deterioration and final decay. -
A brick house will command Immediate
respect, even when poorly designed in an
architectural way. How enduring and sub
stantial It looka with Its solid walls and
deep reveals, how much strength of har
acter la expressed In the very co or of
brick work, which only becomes the more
beautiful wWh age, and it fasts unrenewed
for agea. It pardonably wears a blush of
vanity which will not come off under blast
ing frost or driving rain, or blister beneath
the summer sun. Us beauty la not "akin
deep," but four Inches of good, sound, old
Mother Earth, baked to withstand the
heat of the hottest aun and with a fineness
of texture which makes it imperious to
other climatic attacks. Moisture does not
affect brick work. It la true that it Is
more or less porous, but there are so many
simple ways of preventing the moisture
from penetrating the Inner surface of . a
wall that that is not a point to be consid
ered. Brii k will not dlalntergrate when It is
frosted, as is the case with many kinds
of atone. Having already been burned In
the kilns until popaque. it will withstand
the hottest fire and will not crack and
crumble under the severe test of alternate
Intense heating and sudden cooling with
water. Marble becomes chalk under this
lest and but few kinds of stone will stand
It.
Kinoe stone will not stand as well as
tin. k. the varying conditions under which
ll is often placed, it Is nut strange that
the life of a wood-frame house is so
much shorter than that of a brick one
Wood will rot when damp. It will deterio

Montana Pioneer Finds Pot of Gold
Ilnst Barle.l by Him Many
Years Ago.
Of all the thrilling stories told by visiting
pioneers of Montana, cue by George I.is
com of Miles City has a golden setting
which makes It especially interesting, in
lfWli Liscom was a member of a parly of
fur huntiia who operated In this section
of the state. Early in January of thst
year they were camped over near the
gap." One day Liscoin rode several
inlles away from the camp after seme
otter skins which lie believed could be
obtained st a small creek out from the
"gap." When some distance from the
camp he met an Indian who manifested
Interest in the destination or the white
man. H' aKked questions which caused
Liscoin to grow susplcicus. He wanted to
id iow his friendliness by shaking hands
Willi his while br titer.
I Ll.xioni reached nut and shook hands
but as lie brought Ins hand back he pulled
the Indian's revolver from the belt. A mo.
incut later lh6 Indian exclaimed, "Indians!"
and pointed back of L'Scom. The hui.tei
looked buck, but at the same time he
divined the object of the redskin and threw
his hand up over hia head. As he did so
the wagon spoke with which the aborigine
inu-nded to brain hia victim came down
on the upraised hand, and as a result Lis
coin has a stiff finger. The fur hunter
sent a bullet into the li d an, who In top
pling off his horte caught one arm in the
surcinnlc of Ukoiii'i horse. Thinking he
was not dead and was holding on, the
white man put another bullet through tlu.
Indian throat.
The weight of the redskin's body finally
broke the surcingle ail Lincoln's horse
ran away. Fortunately, the Indian's horse
did not run away. About that time six
teen Indiana got within firing distance and
began to shoot. The Indian's horse was
wounded, and using the body cf the auima)
as a breastwork, Liscoin began to do a
little execution. He laid low an lndan
with ea li of the firt tlx-Mints. ' It finally

When one comes to compare the actual
difference In cost between a brlck-walled
house and even an entirely fire-proof
house, with an old style of frame construc
tion It is surprising (owing, of course, to
the rapidly rising price of lumber) what
little difference of cost exists between,
and when one comes to consider the saving
of repairs, the feeling of security, the
beauty gained and the durability of a brick
house, to say nothing of the saving In heat
and Insurance, one should stop and think
twice before building a frame house at the
present time.
Most bouses nowadays are built on thrift
less principles of economy, 'ine prospective
home builder loses sight of the fact that
for a slight incresse In cost and more care
In construction the life of a house can be
greatly prolonged and that the saving in
repairs alone will more than offset the ad
ditional expense. A brick house will
greatly lncreasethe value of the property
on which it stands and the -property around
It. To build a brick house Is to build a
house which your children and their chil
dren can enjoy fireproof, a thing of
beauty to them, as It will be to you, to say
nothing of the added aecurlty, the appear
ance of substantiality and ready sableness.
The additional cost Is nominal.
four or five of them who were still alive
rode away.
But the white man did not escape with
out wounds. He made his way back to
camp. "Old Man" Buchanan, who still
lives out near Kendall, attempted a bit
of surg -ry, using a bullet mould lm his
effort to get a bullet which had been flat
tened against one of the billies In IJscom's
leg. Later the camp in which Llscom was
lying was attached by Indians and ha
buried tSXl In gold dust. He supposed
that some member of the party had dug
it up until Buchanan a few . months ago
told liini that, so far as he kn-w, the
gold dust was si ill where it was burled.
Accordingly, Irj May of this year, forty-two
years and four months after It was buried,
Liscom went to. the old camping place In
the "gap" and uncovered the gold dust.
The powder box and chamois bag in which
It was buried had disintegrated, but all
the gold dust was there.

made by arrows and bullets, which speak
