The ruddy, t rugged, hale pioneers or prospectors. And more, often the prospector, with his wonderful day dream, underlying And undergo ing his hardships, and privations, are soon forgotten and overlooked. Seldom does man' today atop -to think, Why the west? It was sot originally, contemplated, thfi .erec tion of great buildings and the construction ot big cities, nor the development ot vast tracts of farm lands, nor the enjoyment of peace ful homes, but it. was the insati able desire tor gold, and the bid den treasures of the mountains, and the surprises .of the unknown hills that drove him on, so prim arily answering the question, we will have to say mines and min ing with Its precious metals, was the first answer to why the west? When Columbus set nis Heart on railing west from Spain to discov er a! new route to the West Indies, it was not that he desired to find new lands, but to bring more gold back to his town home country, and herein lies the funny part of ROCK SPRINGS Egg Goal UTAH Nut Coal I- $15.00 PER TON PHONE 1855 Order Early the, whole , scheme of the times. In a careful reading of his story, of his trials and tribulations, a you do not find bankers and rich men Offering their moneys for this en terprise and development, nor did they advise their friends to back him. His story so tar as financial men are concerned in those days, la the same today. -All bankers look upon new enterprises and new developments with the same hazy eye,- always ready to say, "Leave your money here. Trust the bank and .the banker. Beware! No doubt you will think we hare drifted a long ways from the Question, Why the west? Perhaps we have, but I want to leave this one thought; hammer home this one fact to the reading public, that the banker and financial men. have done a very small part in really building np and developing the community. It has (been the sturdy, trudging prospector and miner, If you please, who has lo cated the hidden springs on the desert: who has found the beauti ful sheltered valleys ot the moun tain, where the country teems to- da with school houses and manu facturing plants, and wno irom actual necessity during his day, has proven that he can live in the remote and all . but inaccessible places of the wilds, and has suc cessfully laid the cornerstone and foundation of our present west. It is not my intention nor pur pose in this article to advise any one to spend one cent in mines or mining. All I want to do is to drive home the fact that if it had not been for the untiring efforts of the miner and prospector, and his constant efforts, we would not have reached our present state of perfection today. Just while we are on this subject, let me say do not be over-cautious in invest ments for future developments; neither be a spendthrift, for it "is a conclusive fact that all mining propositions have a risk, but that is true in everything elBe, and in nearly every successful mine you will find it passes through seve ral stages ot speculativeness, Just as a child must take a' chance of bumps and bruises, mumps and measles. The point that we want you to take home and think about isWby the westt 1s that if the miner and prospector made the tlrst jrest, and if you followed him then, why ia ft not good busi ness to follow him now and build a greater weett X do not want you to think by ANNUAL BUDGET FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 24 This original estimate shows in parallel columns the unit costs of the several services, materials and supplied for .the three fiscal years next preceding the current year, the detail expenditures for the iasi one ot saia uiree preceding jiscai years ana me vuegei allowances ana expenditures lor six monins Of the current yean.

H. H. LOTZ. Salem, Or., Jan. 5, 1924. GERMANY HAS SEEN MANY CHANCELLORS UNDER THE REPUBLIC (By Mail) BERLIN", Dec. 19. Germany's chancellors have changed so often under the republic, that few Ger mans can remember the names of all the men who have attempted to keep governments together in the five years of democracy which have brought such troubled times to the German nubile. There have been nine different chancel lors under the democratic regime. In the 47 years which elapsed from the time Bismarck expanded Germany into an empire and be came its first chancellor until the republic was declared, there were only eight chancellors. Bismarck himself served 19 years before he fell out with the dethroned kaiser, who is now in Holland, and made way for Gen eral von Caprivi in 1850. Caprivi held office for four years and was succeeded by Prince Hohenlohe who retained office for six years. Prince Buelow then became chan cellor for nine years. Von Beth-man-HolIweg took over the office in 1909 and left it eight years la ter. -: Dr. Michaelis was chancellor from July until November, 1917. Count Hertling took over the off ice then, and held it till Septem ber, 1918. He was succeeded by Prince Max of Baden, who was in office only a few weeks. Fried rich Ebert, the present president of the Reich, became chancellor for two days, from Nov. 9 to Nor. 11. 1918. He marked the transi tion into the democratic period. After his two days of service a commission of six socialists: El ert, Scheidemann and Landsberg of the majority party and Haas? Dittmann and Barth of the inde pendents, took over the govern ment and there was no regular cabinet until February, 1919 when the national assembly met at Wei mar and Philip Scheidemann be came chancellor. He resigned the following June rather than sign the Versailles Treaty, and Gustav Bauer took over the office ;for about a year. Hermann Mueller became chan cellor in March, 1920, and remain ed in office three months. Then Constantin Pehrenbach, of the Catholic party became chan cellor and held the post for H a year. Joseph Wirth, also of the Catholic party, came into office in May, 1921, and retired in Novem ber. 1922. Dr. William Cuno took over the post of chancellor tipon Wirth's retirement and held it till last August under, the trying situation brought about by the occupation of the Ruhr by the French, and the efforts of the German govern ment to defeat the French by pas sive resistance. The catastrophic financial col lapse and the decline of the mark to a point neer before reached by any other great power's money forced Dr. Cuno's retirement, and Dr. Gustajr Stresemann attempted to patch up what remained t the republic after the disastrous at tempt to finance Ruhr resistance at the sacrifice ot the interests of the rest of the republic. Stresemann held on till Novem ber with 4 coalition cabinet, but the food shotage and the mount ing bread prices, together with wide-spread unemployment and tho clashes of authority between the Bavarian and Saxon govern ments and the Berlin cerftral gov ernment, proved his undoing and ho made way for Dr. William Marx, of the Catholic party, the present chancellor. Dr. Strese mann remains in the Marx cabinet as -minister ot foreign affairs. Of the nine- meji who have held the chancellorship under the re public four were social democrats, Kbert, Scheidemann, Bauer -and' Mueller. Three belonged to the Catholic party, Fehrenbach, Wirth and Marx. Cuno was a non-parliamentary chancellor, having been selected asf the rcpreestita tive ot no party, and Stresemann held the chancellorship as a mem ber of the People's party.
