M Gilbert, appointed sapeimtendent of the state ' - - training; school .for boys, held that position before, and it z. -was .Mr. Gilbert , who. xecommended the rpurchase;of a new site, "in "'order to get land more suited, to the crops .in the ""cultivation and harvesting of which the help of boys may be ; utilized; and in order to have a new institution constructed : on the cottage plan, for .the better segregation of boys, as to their physical, mental and moral qualities: ) Mr. Gilbert believes that with the right kind of land and equipment, and the proper crops, including hush and tree fruits and nuts of the best varieties, the industrial school for boys may ultimately be made entirely self supporting, j That i3 a high aim. " s i , I It has never been done. Neither, however, had a prison conducted along modern lines ever been made self supporting, in the entire history of the world, up to about nineteen years ago,; when the peniten tiary at Stillwater, Minnesota, was taken entirely, from thq "burdens of the taxpayers of that tate; and it has gone ori building from, its own earnings entirely a magnificent new ... prison, ana snops and equipment; and had surplus earnings of about $300,000 last year. ' ?' , t - An industrial school for boys might not be made eitirely ; self -supporting from shops alone, or from general farming. Anyway, it has never been done. - !- 1 j ' ; - . But such an institution might be made self supporting here, with help from the production of strawberries, logan berries, evergreen. blackberriesy prunes, etc., and filberts and v." walnuts , . v- - .- i v:- . ;, '., v ' r And in fact Mr. Gilbert has had a survey made, by a man , ho is competent; and this ; man declares that the Oregon industrial school for boys can finally be made self supporting, as the trees mature :-.: ! . : - .- j. : Arid ultimately more than self supporting T Well, that is certainly a goaLwoiih working for.

T PLAYING WITH FIRE ; Partial, recovery of the exchange value of the French franc has oc casioned, both rejoicing and J, regrets-in Paris and other, parts of France. .. When the franc fell dar ing the; weeks immediately, follow ing the French occupation of the Ruhr! it filled many among the French themselves with .conster nation; :: and" this was multiplied among, other nationalities 'holding French currency or -securities Since: 1914 losses . totaling Ml ions have been occasioned in Europe by .the sudden collapse of some national currency. : Russia registered first; hut the, Austrian money j soon followed; and' then came the de facto remonetization of the mark. : : rvf; ' - During the 'last weeks of Jan- nary : and throughout the whole of February a very wave of j fev erish ' burin? swept over France. The currency that had been hid den awayn the proverbial stock ing came j Into- view. There was alarm lest the franc should follow the downward plunge of the kron en" and : the- mark. Speculators took advantage . of . the . situation. There was a great- sale of furs from Russia and of . diamonds from Holland. ; Many Ofi the French retail stores . were fairly stripped bare of merchandise, j ' "Francs have fallen from 12 to the dollar to 17 to the dollar," murmured the foolish-wise among the populace. "Perhaps three months from now they will have fallen to 60" to jfhe" dollar or less. iHave we not seen -the mark! go from 200 to the dollar to 20,600 to the dollar in less than a year? It is better to have goods or pro perty In these ' distressful - days than the money." V . 'i M French' buying 'during the last of January was" almost as hystey ical as German buying last Aug ust.

I, Speculating ' in foreign ex change Is as great a hazard fas dabbling in wild-cat oil or mining securities. The market never does what It Is expected to do. During the last- two years Americans alone paid something like' SI, 000,000,000 for, marks that are now almost without value. It is the opinion of most . economists that the franc;, will, within a few years, follow the pound sterling back to par. But.: as none can foresee what will haoDen In Eur ope next week, much less next year, speculation in tthe franc is a i hazard. ; .:j GENERAL BUSINESS EXPAND- ISO , 1 - The current 1 weekly financial news letter ot Henry Clews ft Co-, Wall, street authorities, contains the following paragraphs: "Business throughout the eoun try, after a couple of years rest, Is forging ahead at, a pace , not equalled since 1920, when' plants were working overtime. - Nor - is there anything in sight which would convey the idea that the peak has been reached, and that there Is to be a material alowine down of trade activity for a long distance ahead.
