The amount was small, only $6,000,000. Does this mean that this country will keep on in that direction? We think not. .. This country will probably continue to be an export surplus '-jtfion. In that event we will gradually cease being a creditor nation. We cannot be both, for after awhile we would have all the gold and no one could buy our products. The world war left us a creditor nation and our post-war lending in creased the debt to us. If we had consented to take goods to pay the interest and principal of debts we might have developed as a creditor nation. We refused to do so. Con sequently the debtor countries after a few years stopped paying. The result is that through defaults or through repur chases at greatly lowered prices their debt to us is being ex punged at our loss of course. We may continue some loans, but on a greatly reduced scale. Our international bankers fell down, although their failure was more due to political impediments than to their own dumbness. Great Britain will steadily resume her place as the world's great money market. English recovery is proceeding steadily. She will have to get on a gold basis ; but that will come in time either through recovery of the pound sterling to gold parity or through devaluation of the pound as France devalued the franc. Proof of the recovery in Britain is seen in the conver sion of one of her big war loans into a new issue at a lower rate of interest. The war loan refunded amounts to over two billion pounds, or approximately ten billion dollars. It has been drawing 5o interest and will be exchanged for a new issue drawing interest. The saving in interest will be huge. The announcement of the proposal was received with enthusiasm and British funds commanded higher prices. Such an achievement in this country would entitle a treas-' ury secretary to be acclaimed as the greatest since Alcxan : der Hamilton. The conversion marks the essential sound - ness of Britain's public finance and the confidence in her future, also the increasing ease of the money situation in London. Thus we shall see as years pass, London becoming once more the major capital market of the world. New York will continue to serve, but her major interests will be in the fi nancing of development on the American continent. Our in ' itial experience in the field of international money-lending has been chilling, and American dollars will stay rather closely to home for many years ahead. From the Weekly Exchanges THERE'S one editor in Oregon who has succeeded in dodging the depression by having his wife do the hoard ing of a $5 gold piece. It all came out at Sunday school, and the editor, Earle Richardson of the Dallas Itemizer-Obser- ver, admits it in his paper. It came this wise: Mr. Richard son, let their four-year old daughter Vivian Eileen, take a penny from her purse for Sunday school. The girl naturally took the brightest penny in the coin bag and deposited it in the collection plate. When they counted the pennies they found the bright one, a $5 gold piece and traced it back to the Richardson family, and Earle says it is a pocket piece a-is wife has carried for a number of years. Anyway wives of other editors over the state will be glad to know that one $5 gold piece was retrieved from going to save the heathen. A Gervais man has found an airplane bug.

This preface fol lows: 1s S S "This book deals with Just an ordinary boy, brought up, how ever, among people and conditions that were not ordinary. This little town of Silverton and the neigh borhood around it wer made up of men and women who had left the best sections of the eastern states to go west that they might avoid the railroads and conditions that followed them. Strange as it may seem, one of the early settlers of Silverton had moved from Con- it ia imperative that yon proper footgear and do special foot excise.

Such a statement might mislead some people into thinking that the man was a crank, but such was not the case. On the contrary he was a man of distinctive type, of much nobility of purpose, that had just happened In his early youth to imagine that he would not like railroading. And the people that followed his example were people of good blood and in some instan ces of high education and in all tney made up a fine average com munity. More than likely many small towns in New England 200 years ago were like Silverton was 20 years ago, but a town like Sil verton was then would be hard to locate nowadays, and the Sil verton of today is in few respects like the fine old dignified town of even 1885. They were the pi oneers and the first generation. Today it's different. The old Sil verton was given a certain dig nity by a very large and remark ably shaped old oak tree that stood in the renter of Mala stree't; how old it was no one knew but It had been the shade for the Molal'.a and Santlam In dians for unknown generations and was more than likely in the direct route of these Indians who went to and fro from the council of the great Multnomah tribe on the Columbia river prior to the falling of the 'Bridge of the Gods.' The old oak, as everybody called it, was a stately giant, and the early settlers of Silverton looked a fitting people to group themselves under it and around It, and, as I hare said, It was the superb character of both men and women that made Silverton. the old town, so distinctly different. S "The tree and town were near ly all destroyed once by fire. A merchant named Alex Ross let a lighted candle brush against his beard and from his whiskers the blaze leaped madly Into the lace curtains of his store window, and one of the handsomest eity blocks wa oon nurnt to tne ground. The town then got a good hook and ladder company, and a fire brigade was organized with a tower and a fire bell on top of ii. i ears passed and passed and the firemen crew niriar in attentive at the annual fire drilL ine nre department consisted of a hose, hook and ladder wagoa with some fine axes with gliding u iu Diauea, some long leather bUCketB.

At any rate the old store was nrst to burn. The depart ment was hard to arouse as the fire started at 2 a. m. or there abouts. Dr. Davis was awakened by the glare of light. He thought he had overslept; and that it was sunuo. Fullv awake ha ran tn Tin the fire bell, bat little by little the farmers had cut oft the rope to tie their teama till It was out of the doctor's reach. K threw rocks at the bell but was nervous and excited and only hit it once, so resorted to yelling 'Fire!' on the principal streets until his voice gave out. Silverton was noted as a place to get sleep and rest in, and the doctor was wind ed and hoarse before he awoke many of the old settlers. Thav found the hose gone, some one had borrowed it to Irrigate his garden; the leather buckets were an gone, we had had one in our parlor for years with moss and 'everlasting flowers' ia it aa aa ornament, and the only things they found to flrht the flamaa ware three of the company's fire helmets, ana these cam la handy to keep oft the heat, as a whole row Of wooden bnildinra ware as fire, to say nothing of 50,000 ce- uar sningies, and it was nearly noon before the fire burned Itaalf out. when it cam to the sparse settlement.

"No I had a headache this morning? and did not care about reading? them." "Then I bare the very sad duty to inform yon that your slater Christine ia dead." The announcement seemed to have no effect whatever upon Ed gar Quires. His wife covered her face with her bands, and her shocd ders beared and ahuddered. but Edgar Quires sat bolt upright, straight as a tree, and his eyes, fixed on Thatcher Colt, remained blank. "Dead I" he repeated in a calm voice, That la impossible. Ton must have made a mistake in iden tities I" "Christine Quires is dead," re peated Colt inexorably. "She was murdered!" At the last word, Edgar Quires seemed to be galvanized into ac tion. His hands gripping the edge of the desk, be stood np, bent over, bringing his face close to Col fa, and baring? long?, straight white teeth like fangs in the jaws ef a wolf. "Murdered!" he cried. "Christine murdered! How? What do you meant Murdered! Then I know who killed her!" Colt, too, had risen to his feet He put one hand calmly on the brother'a shoulder. "Name him!" "Name him! Ill kill him! Ill kill him with alow torture," raged Edgar Quires. He was not loud nor violent; but ift was a terrible thing to be a witness of this strong man's fury. It waa a fury that spoke in low and awful tones, the more ter rible because one felt it waa un der a too complete mastery; that he meant what he said and would carry out his threats. "Name the man," repeated Colt severely. "It is our business to find him and the law's business to try and to punish." Mrs. Quires lifted up her tear stained face, "I well tell you," she cried, in a broken voice. "It is an actor, about whom Christine had found out un speakable things. His name is Guy Everett. Find him and you will have her murderer!" It did not seem plausible that Edgar Quires or his wife could have concocted such a circumstan tial account Manifestly the brother was angry because" his wife had revealed Everett's name. His in tention of dealing personally with the actor seemed thoroughly real istic. But Colt managed him deftly and finally the brother was leaning the town was there yet and the pioneers were not all gone. They j would go on determined not to be stopped by a fire. In fact bluffs seldom got away with much there, and I can cite one instance that waa truly Silverton in every sense. A 'Campbellite' minister by the name of Clark Braden came there to conduct a revival meeting. He waa a man of quite some rorce and reputation, and a big quiet audience greeted him at his first hearing. He got on all right until near the close when he Issued a aweeping chal leare to anr Infidels nr f-M thinkers to debate with him ia Silverton.

Edgar Quires was the man who could take disaster squarely on the chin, and rive a bold face to mis fortune, when taken by surprise. But now, in the calm after the first shock, he waa becoming emotional; he must be jacked up suddenly. Colt's next question was almost aa accusation: mr I - tv ay are you ana your wue trying to put the blame on Guy Everett?" The strong face of Edgar Quires settled into a rock-like rigidity, in which only the eyes were human. "Gay Everett killed her," be re peated inflexibly. "But you must have a reason for saying so?" "Christine expected him to kill her." Edgar Quires made this start ling announcement with a calmness that waa terrifying. One felt that he would kill Guy Everett on sight "You must be explicit Tell me exactly what you know," urged Colt "It is silly for you to think that you can avenge her death. We are men and we must meet the sit uation like men." "That ia what I Intend to do." said the brother quietly. M r a . -V A . . quires uia ner nana against his arm. "Eddie," ahe pleaded. "Mr. Colt is right We do not want any more trouble. Tell him what he asks." A flicker of tenderness was in the strong man's eyes. I saw that he loved his wife, and he bad said that he loved his sister. "I will tell you what I know," he agreed readily. "I have no wish to argue with you as to what I con ceive to be my duty. We hare had enough talk. Christine and I had lunch together a week ago at the MeAlpin Hotel. It waa then that we discussed her financial affairs. She had made heavy Investments on the market The advice came from Lola Care we. She told me then that she might have to call on me for cash. I agreed to help her, if she prom ised never to get herself in such a jam again. I was very fond of Christine, anyhow, that is what we met to discuss at luncheon. But toward the close, we talked of her peasonal affairs. She told me of having tee Guy Everett And ahe said that he hoped to marry Lola. She told me that ahe waa afraid of him. The reason was that Guy Ev erett believed that ahe influenced Lola against him. Aa a matter of fact Christine said ahe had done nothing of the kind. She had no wish to meddle in Lola's affairs. But for some reason, Guy Everett believed that she was his enemy. They had one violent row. Chris tone described that row to me. She said that Everett had acted like a beast He waa drunk at thm tim He had threatened her life if she did not ston interferins -n'th Vi business."
