able 10 work up the fullest supply
brought in daily. The discouraging fea-
lures of the business at the start nave
been traced to few interested in speco-
lations, but it will never be able TO occur
again, We think. The season closes with
a firm and ready market at good prices
for export, which the home market Is
comparatively without any supply
Prices have been lower this year
throughout the season than for 1914.
Last year the sales were based on an
average of about Sc per case, or 81 40 to
$3.50 per dozen / pound cans. This
year prices have ranged from Sl-5o to
Sl.35 per dozen.
The Suiter Creek Ensign OF August

adventure happened in the vicinity OF
Silver Lake, and is vouched for as cor

lunch and blankets, started out on
fishing excursion to the lake. Night

trout. and spreading his blankets under
pine tree, he determined to camp out
on his hunting grounds. He was soon
in the realm CT forgetfulness, his slnm-
bers being interspersed only by the IAN
cy-painted visions of dreamland. Al
length he was awakened by angry howls,
as Of wild beasts in conflict, and peep
ing out from under his blankets In thu
faint moonlight he saw two immens'
grizzlies engaged in terrible struggle
their grinders showing with distinctnes
as they paused for a moment to snarl
each other. The hunter was man Q
iron nerves, but did not relish the situa
ton OF affairs. Casting hasty glanc
to the top Of the tree, he reflected ha
, aloud: "That tree seems pretty tall

agility. As might be expected, in b
, hurry he forgot to finish his toilet, an
found himself up tree with onl

: from the night air, which in those hig
attitudes ia by no means warm in II
: middle of the Summer. To make ma
6 tiers worse, the grizzlies, instead of fgh
0 ing their battle to the end. ceased the
; ouarreling, squatted down on Il

with difficulty descended, wrapped

enteen days ago the Bank of California
failed. and as our fnancia! system is our
center OF gravity the Coast was thrown
off its equilibrium. Yet everything and
everybody have nearly recovered their
footing again and in few weeks every
thing will go on as ever. At all events
there is no apparent reason why things
should not. We have the same elements
of prosperity that we had two weeks
ago, the same sources of wealth, and
there is nothing to prevent continu-
ance of the prosperity. Apart from the
temporary financial stringency there is
no real or lasting grounds for depres
sive influence, the resources of the
Coast are of too solid and substantial {
nature to admit of any decadence and
the events OF the last two weeks may b.
looked upon simply as temporary re

The entire country is full Of wealth AM

nature, and for this reason it is idle L

Therefore 100000 in coin, intended

declares it twas guilty OF the most gigan-

But i. caps the climax by declaring the
institution was "popularly supposed to
