SEES A BRIGHT FUTURE
Montana Millionaire Says Fi
nancial Situation Is Clear
ing Rapidly.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Dec. 9.
In an Interview Senator W. A.
Clark, of Montana, who was hero in
connection with his railroad Interests
said:
"I am sure the financial situation
i3 clearing very fast. I received a
letter today from tho vice-president
of one of the largest banks in New
York, saying ho had just returned
from a trip to Chicago, where ho met
the clearing house members of that
city, and also bankers from St.
Louis,,Kansas City and St. Paul. All
these bankers agreed that tho worst
was over and tho cash payments
could be inaugurated very soon with
out trouble.
"The total reduction in the out
put of copper is so largo that six
months ought to see tho surplus
eliminated entirely, when that is
done, I expect to see copper go back
to about 1C cents a pound, and that
Is enough. At that figure consump
tion is posslblo on a large scale and
whilo it will not permit all the mines
to resume on the old basis, it will
still furnish employment for a large
proportion of the men who havo been
thrown out of employment by tho
recent slump."
ENJOYS' BEAR STEAK
AT THE BLANCO HOTEL
"nuchshot" Gets Off Practical Joko
On Wife of "Bud" Holland.
Bear steak was tho savory dish
supplied to a party of three In tho
dining room of the Blanco Hotel
last night and thereby aroused con
siderable Interest. It was not be
cause tho rest of tho boarders wore
left out In tho cold that, this feat
ure at dinner last night aroused so
much attention. It was because ono
of tho party ate bear meat, who had
never tried it before.
"Bud" Holland, tho cheerful dis
pencer of beverages in tho hotel bar,
and his other half, Mrs. Holland,
had for a long timo differed on the
relative qualities of bear steak and
steak of tho ordinary kind. Mrs.
Holland had declared on numerous
occasions that she would never eat
bear meat, and her opinion of those
who could eat it was not vory high.
Yesterday morning "Buckshot,"
the man who drives the Blanco bus
to meet the trains, noticed a young
bear lying on the docks" which was
being shipped to market. He quick
ly notified Mr. Holland of tho fact
and early In tho evening invited both
Mr. and Mrs. Holland to have dinner
at the Blanco with him.
A specially ordered meal was
brought in and three large, luscious
steaks occupied a conspiclous place
on the hospitable board. All three
had excellent appetites and the way
that steak disappeared was worth
watching. As a matter of fact there
wore quite a number of those in the
secret watching proceedings.
Whoa there was no more bear
steak loft, Mrs. Holland was inform
ed of what she had partaken, amid
much hllarlousness on the part of
"Buckshot," and nervousness on the
part of "Bud."

Railway Magnate Says We Aro on tho
Rood to Good Times and No
Cuming Backward.
NEW YORK. Deo. 10. Tfeat tho
country is already beginning to re
cover from the severe shock received
in tho recent panic is the opinion of
E. H. Harriman, as expressed in an
Interview published hero. He said:
"Wo are In the rebound from de--pfoBSlon
and ire aro in it to stay.
Thoro will bo no falling back. Each
step that wo aro taking is firm. Un
derneath the whole situation there
is industrial stability. There is too
much work to bo done and too great
capacity for doing it to allowa long-drawn-out
depression. There aro in
dications everywhere that confidence
is being restored. Tho country is
too big and the peoplo too sensible
to allow tho acts of a few men to
shako their faith in tho integrity of
our great financiers and business
men as a whole. Naturally, there
was a little scare at first, but with
spots only here and there, they
quickly recovered from their fright.
"Tho dawn of a now era of pros
perity Is here. Tho over-strain on
cash is being relieved, and credit is
onco more being allowed to perform
its normal work. But wo must not
expect at onco to see ovory lino of
commercial business activity as act
ivo as it has been during tho last
two years. Perhaps it is better for
tho country that it is not so. Wo
have a presidential campaign in front
of us. It is only natural that wo
should feel our way cautiously, for
somo timo. When I say cautiously,
however, I do not mean hosftatlngly,
but rather conservatively."

Thero is also on display a straw

profitable Investment for tho settlers

CHRISTMAS DON'TS.
Don't leave the cost mark on pres
ents. Don't let money dominate your
Christmas giving.
Don't let Christmas giving deter
iorate into a trade.
Don't embarrass yourself by giv
ing moro than you can afford.
Don't try to pay debts or return
obligations in your Christmas giving.
Don't give trashy things. Many an
attic could tell strange stories about
Christmas presents.
Don't make presents which your
friends will not know what to do
with, and which would merely en
cumber tho home.
Don't give because others expect
you to. Give because you lovo to. If
you cannot, keep tho gift.
Don't give too bulky articles to
peoplo who live ln small quarters, un-
loss you know that they need tho,
particular things you send them.
Don't wait until the last minute to
buy your presents, and then for lack
of time to make proper selections,
give what your better judgment con
demns. Don't decide to abstain from giving
just because you cannot afford ex
pensive presents. Tho thoughtful
ness of your gift, the interest you
tako in those to whom you give, are
principal things. The intrinsic value
of your gift counts very little.
Don't glvo things becauso they are
cheap and make a big show for the
money. As a rule It is a dangerous
thing to pick up a lot of all sorts of
things at bargain sales for Christmas
preGoata. It you do, there is always
