I Hundreds of thousands of thrifty
foung men and women throughout the
United States, who are ambitious to se
cure a competency for their old age, are
at a loss to know how to invest their
small savings to advantage.' There is
Scarcely a successful business man in
New York who does not receive in . his
mail every morning requests for informa
tion as to the best way to invest small
bums of money. ' " " -
1 With a view of obtaining some opin
ions on the subject a reporter called a
few days ago upon some of - the most
prominent and successful business men
of the country, noted for their, shrewd
investments., and asked them to give
their.opinions of the best way to invest
$100.
j Mr. Henry Clews, who has earned a
reputation for his sound judgment in all
matters relating to investments, said:
"The best investment for $100 is to
place it in a good savings bank and make
the foundation to build upon by frequent
additions to it. When the amount gets
large enough the first acquisition of prop
erty should buy a homestead, and when
that is accomplished it will give such
comfort and peace of mind to the owner

one another to that effect, "either by , h - it eivea him a status, in the com-
holding a convention 01 through some , lUUhity gTeaer than anything else.' It
other means of organization by which
the said understanding inay become
universal and be acted upon accord
ingly." The advice is good and right.
No assessment will ever be fair and uni

cash value. of everything they own. But
also gives him an established credit
which, when obtained, if judiciously and
conservatively used, will make it much
easier to acquire this world's goods.

ample to the assessors.. Had they prac
ticed as they preach their advice would
have more weight. A set of men who
would deliberately "equalize" one class
of property by putting it up to its cash
value and leave the rest at fifty cents on
the dollar or all the way from thirty to
seventy-five cents, cannot expect that
"their advice will have much moral force.
It would be very different if the assess
ors knew beforehand that the state board
would make the various assessment rolls
coniform to the statute where the
assessors had failed in this regard. As
it is assessments next year will be made
very much on the old plan. Each
assessor who has any patriotic pride in
him will do his best to see that other
countries do not get too far ahead of him
in their effort to evade a just proportion
of the state tax.
' ' If the editor of the Pomeroy (Wash.)
Independent is not a dangerous lunatic
he writes exactly like one. A man who
is capable of writing the following,
which appeared in the editorial column
of the last issue of his paper is not fit to
be at large let alone edit a newspaper.
The alliance whose devinely chosen
mouthpiece the crank pretends to be
ought to sit down on him, hard and fire
. bim unceremoneously out of its ranks.
Here is what he says : "The enemies of
this paper who do it an injury because
itexpoBes their corruption are one by
one being removed by Him who presides
over the destinies -of worlds and rewards
every being as is just and proper. Be
ware when you try to tear down with
your vile tongue this chosen instrument
for the defense of the people. The very
poison that such spit at this paper will
become a festering sore to remove their
corrupt carcasses from this mundane
snhere to 'one where the fire is not
quenched." 4 .
All the newspapers in Oregon whose
heads are in the Oregonian't stannchions
are falling into line with the Portland
crowd of tax-dodgers. Great are the
moulders of public opinion. Salem Jour
.nal. The Journal is away off. The Port
land "crowd of tax dadgere" have the
law on their side ; the more's the pity,
but they have it all the same. What
some of us object to is the" paying of
1 Multnomah county's state tax as well
as our own. If some counties are so
wedded to their moss Jnteguments that
they propose to let Multnomah get the
best of them that's their own lookout.
We're not built that "way in" Wasco
county. .
The Aatorian of January 26th has the
following:
The British ship Lawton is.now 77 days
out with a big cargo of tin plate aboard
for Astoria. There has been a good deal
eajd about tin plate since the passage of
. the McKinley bill. . Apart from any
political feature of the matter, but
purely as a matter of news, it is inter
esting to know that tin plate is cheaper
here today than it has .been. Last year
it sold as high as $6.75 a. box. Today
. good tin-plate of the same quality as
was held at $6.75 a year ago, can be had
for from tti to $6.15 a box. An ounce of
facts is worth a ton of theory of unsup
ported statements. . .v " -. - -. .

A "GILT EDGED BOND," SAYS DR. DEPEW
, Dr. Chauncey M. Depew advised that
the $100 should be made grow to $1,000
before being invested in any enterprise.
: "Put it in the savings bank." said the
doctor, "where it can draw compound
interest, and add to it as you can until
it becomes a thousand. Then consult
some wise, conservative banker and in
vest it in a gilt edged bond which can be
registered. There is no investment for
$100 except to put it into a savings bank
that is absolutely safe. The chances are
that if he went to inquire he would meet
speculative gentlemen who would land
his $100 in some mining or other similar
scheme which promised large returns,
and that would be the end of it."
' Mr FVmat.Tia Wiman ia nf fTia rtTMTiimi
that "the best way to invest $100 is to
buy a share in some well managed local
building and loan association. These
associations represent the aggregate sav
ings of their members, and the money is
invested only in houses built by one of
their own number. The investment - is
therefore a very safe one, because men
will pay for their homes and the interest
due thereon sooner than they would pay
for anything else. The money can' be
withdrawn, if need be, while it rests
with the society, and it pays as good an
interest as any other safe enterprise can
afford. Compared with the savings bank
it yields about twice the interest, while
the security is generally just as good. .
"Of course all depends upon manage
ment, but taken as a whole the money
of poor people put into building loan as
sociations has been more honestly ad
ministered by the poor people themselves
than has been any other financial trust
in the country. In proportion to the
enormous amount invested, which now
reaches over $700,000,000 reaching that
of the capital of all the national banks
the amount of defalcations has been in
finitesimal. "The rate of interest paid has been
larger, the purpose accomplished nobler,
and the security just as safe as that of
the average railroad, bank, mortgage or
insurance investment. " 1 put $100 away
every month in a building and loan as
sociation, conscious that it is the very
safest and best investment that 1 can
make. By it 1 am enabled to insure my
life for $20,000, and 1 am all the time ac
cumulating, not only the principal, but
interest, which thus far has averaged 10
percent. ' -
I " "UNCLE" BUFU3 HATCH'S VIEWS.
I 'Uncle" Bufus Hatch, who has lost
over $1,000,000 in . Wall street, does
not recommend any "high flying" in
vestment. His advice for putting out
$100 was to "go slow," and he added:
j'If you can find a solvent savings bank,
put the $100 there, and be satisfied with
o or 4 per cent, interest. It would seem,
Ihowever, from disclosures that national
panks and savings banks and all other
banks are more or less open to criticism.
fTha irani- maioritv of the Tmblic do not
.know how to take care of their savings
and are easily induced to put them
wherever they are promised a big per
cent, interest. ' - ". -
However all this may. be," and "Un
tie" Rufus Hatch looked . very serious,
under any and all events, keep out of
iWall street. 'Teach the public, to shun
its precincts. ' It is simply suicide for a
nan to go into Wall street with $100. If
he had $100,000,000 that might do. My
advice to thrifty persons is to keep the
100 saved and keep adding to it until it
lias accumulated to a reasonable amount.
Then buy an annuity for life or a paid up
life insurance for your wife and chil
dren." New York World.
Another New Smoke Preventive.
James Murphy, a Chicagoan, is the
latest to come forward with a smoke
consuming . device. Rather, though, is
it Mr. Murphy's plan to-prevent- smoke,'
and this he seems to do- very effectually
by a patent arrangement which he places
on boilers and stoves. 'It is the idea to
catch and burn' the gases that are liber
ated from the coal before they form the
smoke. The smoke itself, the' inventor
says, cannot be burned after it has once
been formed, so he burns the gases.
The principle is that of taking air up
from the ashpit in a furnace through
fire clay - pipes to a hot air chamber
above the grate bars. From here it is
thrown- from all four sides of the grate
through a three-quarter inch, space which
is left open all around the fire, the space
being partially ledged over with a "lip"
that throws the air across the furnace.
The distribution of this hot air equally
over the fire catches the gases from the
coal before they are formed into smoke
and ignites and burns them.
. Thus only about 20 per cent. , of the
usual amount of smoke contains no car
bon, ia not dirty at all and is white
instead of sooty. Mr. Murphy demon
strates the principle of his device in a
stove, where, the results are more easily
seen. The stove is fitted with three fire
clay pipes on each side to conduct the
air. The stove burns any kind of coal
or coke and from none of them can any
smoke be seen to arise. The stove makes
its own' draft from the'airshaft. ; The
flame burns inward, and close to the
middle pf the grate. An examination
of the chimney shows no smoke going

- Xbe Leaning Tower at Sacagossa.
A committee appointed to report on
the famous Torre Nuova in the Plaza
San Filiper, in the capital of Aragon,
has issued a pessimistic account. It is
feared that this clock tower a very fine
example of the kind, will have to be
pulled down. Excessive rains and floods
have caused a subsidence of the soil and
the structure is deemed unsafe. The
construction of this torre inclinada was
begun in the Fifteenth century, under
the direction of two Spanish, two Moor
ish - and one Jewish architect; it is
octagonal in form, 800 feet high,' 45 in
diameter, and leans about 10 feet out
of the perpendicular. Stone steps. 260
in number, lead inside to the top gallery. '
It has been stated that the leaning of
the tower was due to the caprice of the
architects, but an old crack in its side
and a careful examination of the founda
tion led to the conclusion that it was
want of care on the part of the builders.
The Aaragonese speak of the ancient
crack as an old wound in its side, of
which the Torre Nuova is now dying.
This "old wound" was under treatment
in the year 1860, but an unfortunate re
lapse threatens to result in an entire col
lapse. Tablet

Getting Rich Fa-st.
Two young men near Los Angeles,
Cal., are rapidly making a fortune slay
ing coyotes. Last April they were not
worth fifty dollars, but now they have
$3,700 to their credit in bank and they
are adding about $150 a week to their
deposit. . They have fifty traps set, and
with these and their rifles are rapidly
thinning out the coyotes in Los Angeles
and San Bernardino counties. At five
dollars a scalp there is more -money in
hunting coyotes than in growing grain
or fruit, but the business will, probably
come to an end when the next, legisla
ture meets. The law which was passed
as a joke has proved to be very costly

A Russian journal reports an interest
ing case of a philanthropic physician.
Visiting the patients of his districts, the
doctor found that in many instances
their sickness was caused by hanger.
To the most needy he prescribed "six
pounds of pure rye flour in doses of two
pounds a day." - He-ordered his patient
to get the medicine at the drug store of
the nearest village, where it would be
issued free of , charge every day. The
good doctor made arrangements with
the druggist to supply the flour at his
expense.' In this way his patients will
