consequence is that there is a demand for more money than
we have and we CAN ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE YOU

I believe that any young man that
comes to the west will succee.l," aald M-.
Brown. "The difficulty out here la not In
finding an opportunity, but In keeping an
opportunity out of your way ao you won't
stumble over It. A young man wants a
little money; and a very little will eeo him
through. We are all lowans, Nebraskana
or Kansans out here and we won't see a
fellow from home 'fall down' If ha has any
good In him at all. The land la cheap;
there la a great deal of It; It can be had
on very easy terms, and a farmer atands a
better show of making things go than most
anybody. There are close cash markets.
The mlnrs afford a quick, cheap, outlet
for everything you can raise, and generally
speaking, I think that Horace Greelny'a ad
vice la better today than It ever waa. 'Go
weat, young man,' ought to be said again
by another man big enough to have every
body hear It. I am very glpd that The Bee
haa aeen this opportunity to make this ef
fort In the right direction.
"I get my Sunday Bee here Monday
night and that makes ma feel tbat I am
pretty close to Omaba and Iowa. I be
lieve that The Bee ran do a great, big
work In pointing out trese opportunities to
the younger men of Nebraska and its uls
ter states. And you can gay that we are
glad to see all the boys ocme and that we
will lend them a helping hand when they
get here.

"They rust have some money; grit, na
tive eenee, and hustle and Industry. The
west la no place for a laay man and he
won't succeed here any faater than he gets
aUng at other places.
What we reed most of all Is men with
money; cash la what Is wanted to lend to
the families comlrur here to make a new
start. Their security Is alwaya good; they
are willing to work and to make good, but
thev need the money for seed, trees, home
bullolng and temporary necessities while
the trees are growing.
"If you know anybody with money at
low rates of Interest In Omaha you may
send them here. He can double his money
right here In Idaho while he holds the best
security that was ever put tip."
And so talks a boy of 13, cashier of the
Filer State bank, with a home, a business
and a reputation In his town second to no
man's.

Mr. a. B. Wilson, secretary nf the

annual estimate. Having considered tiie
effect of Increased duties and price, he
saya: "I estimate the total expenditure of
the United Kingdom on alcoholic lluuors
during 1910 at 9776,812,425, as compared with
IM6.3(2,410 In 1
"There has, therefore, been a decrease
In expenditure of tJ.4S.8ri. If there had
been no Increase In prices the reduction In
the total expenditure would have been M.

was $17.25, and per family of flvo persons
$J6 2t. Theee figures are, of course, no real

population which actually consumed the

bers about 66 per cent of the tola! popula

expenditure Is approximately 11. 2ft per
person.
"Three special causes have hern In
operation during 1909 to reduce the con
sumption nf alcnlujllc liquors. The dimin

of spirits, which haa been the chief factor
In causing the enormous reduction of over

CAICl'TTA. April 23. (Special Dispatch
