IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.

EX-SENATOR
HAS MINES OE
BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 1.—Is W. A.
Clark, mine king and former senator
from Montana, overhauling John D. as
the richest man in America?
That’s the word out here. War pri
ces on metals have enormously in
creased Clark’s already fabulous in
come. And the difference between
Clark and Rockefeller and other Am
erican money monarchs is that Clark’s
holdings are all in his own name and
that of his family.
His intimates here say he could
raise $100,000,000 in cash in 24 hours
out of his own storehouse of wealth
and that he is probably the only man
in the United States who can.
His Rich Arizona Mine.
United Verde, the Arizona copper
mine for which Clark recently refused
$75,000,000, is alone paying him a
monthly dividend of $2,000,000. His
Butte mines also yield him enormous
sums.
Aside from the $50,000,000 he gave
France, the adopted land of his chil
dren, Clark has $20,000,000 loose
change he doesn’t know what to do
with.
A French syndicate wanted to pur
chase United Verde. “The Old Man,”
as they call him here, said:
“Well, I don’t want to sell Verde,
but I suppose everything has its price.
Tell you what I-’ll do. You survey the
property and pay me ten cents a
pound for all the ore actually in
sight.”
Worth a Staggering Sum.
When at 10 cents a pound the actual
ore bulked to the staggering figure of
$60,000,000 the syndicate threw up
their hands. And copper is today sell
ing around 35 cents a pound!
Clark has a $15,000,000 home in
New York, a $10,000,000 chateau in
Paris where his children live* another
palace in Los Angeles and the old
home in Butte.
In New York the brass trust wanted
to hold him up on the $1,000,000 fix
tures for his Fifth avenue home, so
Clark started a foundry of his own,
just for that purpose.
Starting as a bull team driver, a
vendor of spices and baking powders
here in the early days, he got in on the
first whack at the “billion-dollar hill”
at Butte.
Today, at 76, he has mines in Mon
tana, Arizona, California Michigan,
owns the Salt Lake line from Butte
to Los Angeles, has oil properties in
Wyoming—in fact owns tremendous
properties in nearly every state.
Every night he knows just what has
happened every day on all his hold
ings. He gets reports from them all—
a bushel basket of telegrams every
night at the New York offices.
Politics Cost Him Millions.
His political fights in Montana—and
they have been on the theory that
might makes right—have cost this
super-rich man millions.
It is from these political battles
that Clark says he has learned the
philosophy to which he today ascribes
his remarkable energy and business
acumen.
“I have learned never to worry,” he
asserts, “to conserve my energies. The
result is that I sleep like a child when
my head touches the pillow, and I
wake up fresh for any task.”
GERMANS DESTROYED THOUS
ANDS AIR CRAFT DURING WAR
BERLIN, Feb. 22.—From the begin
ning of the war to January 31, 1917,
German battle planes and anti-air
craft batteries destroyed 1,002 hostile
machines, or 167 enemy squadrons of
six machines each, according to offi
cial statistics obtained by the Over
seas News agency. In the period
stated 1,700 hostile aviators were put
out of the combat and machines val
ued at 50,000,000 marks were de
stroyed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. — (By
mail.)—Impending changes in the dip
lomatic service of the United States
after March 4 are deeply interesting
politicians here. Only President Wil
son himself knows where the axe is to
fall. It is certain, however, that there
will be a number of retirements in the
first line and also that many men now
holding positions as ministers will be
brought home to private life.
President Wilson has before him the
records of all the ambassadors and
ministers. Their resignations will be
in his hands when he takes the oath of |
office as president for the second term j
of March 4. Although it has been cus-1
tomary in the past for members of the ]
diplomatic corps to submit their res-1
ignations when a president has been '
re-elected, that has not been adhered j
to of late. In this instance President |
Wilson has let it be known that he j
will expect all resignations to be for
warded.
That there will be a change in a
number of the leading capitals is tak- i
en for granted. Gossip here asserts
that Ambassador Page in London is to
come home. His failure to get any
concessions from the British govern
ment in the boycott, mails and ship
detention matters has been ascribed to
an over abundance of amiability. How
ever, he is a very close friend of the
president and if he is brought home it
will be in part because he wants to i
come back.
Colonel House Talked Of.
In this connection there have been a
number of suggestions that Col. E. M.
House, the president’s closest adviser,
will go to London. The colonel has
denied this and the white house has
characterized the report as “at least
premature,” but it persists in diplo
matic circles. It is said that the pres
ident recognizes that in the peace ne
gotiations that will end the war, Great
Britain will be the most formidable
factor and that in consequence he will
want this country to be represented in
London by the one man who alone
knows his views as to the form peace
should take.
There will be no change at Petro
grad. David R. Francis, of St. Louis,,
will remain there, officials say. If he
so desires. He has proved an ideal
diplomat and has succeeded in forcing j
respect in quarters that up to now i
have treated the United States with i
very scant consideration.
Whether there are to be changes at;
Paris or Vienna is not known as yet.
It is understood that the president
would like to continue all the ambas
sadors in the belligerent countries un
til the war is over, if possible, but that
he has been urged to make at least
three changes.
So far as the corps of ministers is
concerned it is expected that there will
be many changes and that all purely
political officials will be replaced with
likely diplomatic timber.

UNO LABOR IS
ALASKA’S NEEDS
SEATTLE, Feb. 17.—“Alaska’s cry
ing need at the present time is min
ing men and capital, men with money,
who are willing to invest and those
who can mine and are willing to work.”
This is the statement made by F. M.
Kempler, who, with George J. Love,
United States commissioner at Valdez,
is a guest at the Frye this week, look
ing after mining interests, says the
Times.
“Alaska has a gold belt 200 miles
wide that cannot be equaled in any
part of the United States, and as a
mining proposition is undoubtedly the
richest country in the world,” said
Mr. Kempler. “There is not the least
doubt in my mind, and I have visited
about every big mining community in
the continent.
Dog Teams Supplanted.
"The roads throughout the territory
are being put in good condition,
though some of the older roads are
not kept up as well as they will be
later, but the automobile has supplant
ed the dog team in transporting mails,
and modern improvements have
wrought a miraculous change, and
business men throughout the country
are taking, and will take, advantage
of this comparatively new country in
which there is room for untold devel
opment.
“The effect of the fire on Valdez
will be the same as the epoch-making
fire that nearly wiped out Seattle dur
ing its early progress. Newer and
more substantial buildings will be
erected in place of the old wooden
structures that were set up during
the gold rush and the result will be
a new town with an increased and
brighter outlook upon the future
which bids fair to outstrip all other
Alaskan cities.”
BRITISH DRAWING NET CLOS
ER AROUND ENEMY IN AFRICA
LONDON, Feb. 23.—Cape Town
dispatches state that the British forc
es in German East Africa are draw
ing ever closer the net around around
the remnants of the enemy army cor
nered in a vast swamp of the south
east. The British government has ap
pointed a civil administrator of the
conquered territory, the whole of
which, north of the Central railway,
which runs across from the ocean to
Lake Tanganyika, will be thrown open
to trade soon. This renders available
the resources of the richest portion
of the territory, and opens up a direct
and easy outlet for those of the Bel
gian Congo, which enormous region is
brought by railroads weeks nearer to
Europe.
