DREW DEPENDS HIaIsELF

In n Letter to Secretary FoStcr-IIIS omis-
sion in tho Koystone Bank Case was nm
Oversight.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. O.-Ex-Bank
Examiner William P. Drew tonight
forwarded to Secretary of the Treasury
Foster a detailed statement OF his work
in connection with the Keystone Ma
tional bank.
The statement is in vindication Of
himself and deals with the action OF
comptroller OF the currency Lacey in
asking for his resignation owing to his
omission in his January report OF the
condition OF Keystone bank OF the
clearing house loan.
In relation to the omission Mr.. Drew
says it was purely an oversight in tran
scribing. Hewas not aware Of the omis-
sion until June 90. 1t would have been
fair, the statement says, to the examiner
that his reports, particularly concerning
n bank known to the comptroller to be
in an unsatisfactory, not TO say perilous
condition, should be promptly and
fully collated in the comptroller's office
and all important discrepancies clearly
pointed out at once.
In conclusion, Mr.. Drew says he be-
lievcs he has demonstrated that the
omission in the report referred to was
largely supplied by the letter transmit
ting it, which, when understood, could
have boen logically inferred from other
information in the comptroller's office,
and was virtually without practical eff
feet in governing the department in its
action toward the bank in question.

PLENTY OF APPLE JACK.
Tho DIsmantlcd DIstillerios OF Berks
County VIII be Set Going.

READING, Pa, Aug. O. Farmers
throughout Eastern Pennsylvania are
congratulating themselves on the fine
prospects for apple jack this year. The
apple crop promises to be tremendous
in the coming fall, and accordingly it
is expected that there will be a
large distillation Of applejack, which is
an exceedingly profitable product here
abouts in good apple years. Last year
no apple-iack at all was made in the
Schuylkill Valley, and the delightful
liquid is consequently scarce. 1t is
now quoted at g 80 per gallon, whereas
the price usually ranges from 81 % to
81 IS.
There are seven applc-iack distilleries
in Berks county alone that have not
been in use for several seasons. The
indications are TINT these and many
new ones will be put in operation be-
fore the close OF next month. Distillers
Of applc-jack are required by law to pay
an internal revenue tax OF 30 cents per
gallon, and to make regular reports OF
their production.

cheerful. American railroads were al

The farmers of Kansas are paying
off their mortgages before they come
due, and the result will be that Eastern
capitalists will soon be seeking new
investments. Capital is not going to
lie idle long, and some section will
derive the benefits of it. Why not
solicit share at least Of these funds
for the building of railroads and de-
velopment of this the most favored
part Of the great southwestP Safe
loans can be made in this territory,
and at reasonable rates Of interest. To
be sure, the cry is always raised when
lands are mortgaged that the debt can
never be paid, and that the interest
will soon equal the principal. Such is
not the case, but even grant 1t to be so.
Is it not better to secure capital to inn
prove our vast areas Of fertile and
tillable land, than TO allow them Ia
remain as created, trampled over by a
few thousand head of cattle and sheepF
No one can contradict but what the
average stock range would yield q
much larger profit each year were il
cultivated and crops taken therefron
than it does to-day at the prices stock
command. Were the interest on a
mortgage to equal the principal at the
expiration of ten years (Which it would
not). the farmer would be able to pay
off his Indebtedness and still realize q
snug sum for his labors. No better
illustration of this fact is needed thar
the turn affairs have taken with the
Kansas landowners. For years the
farmer thought himself overburdec
with taxation and many left theil
farms entirely, claiming that they
could not make living on them, ant
now the good news is being heralded
to the world that those who stuck Il
their farming and paid strict attention
to business are paying off their mort
cages before they are due. Certainl.
| this prosperity will not come to maj
by his mortgaging his place and sittin;
idly by, doing nothing whatever, for |
takes energy, push and perseverance
to make success of even the mos
trivial enterprise. We hope to see a
, no distant day the small, well improves
farm occupying conspicuous place il
Northern Arizona, and to this en'
invite foreign capital to our midst.

Arizona a Maligned Territory.

In commenting upon Acting Gov
ernor Murphy's report, the Denver
Republican of recent date says:
'Arizona is probably the most ma
ligned territory in the Union. 1t is
commonly thought of as though it were
desert-a vast waste of sand, blister
ing under torrid sun. But as mat
ter of fact it is highly favored part OF
the arid region. 1t contains forest
of nearly 10, 200 square miles in area
one of the largest forests in the United
States. Besides, it has numerous fer
tile valleys, watered by never falling
streams. These valleys are being re-
claimed by irrigation, and the results
show that the soil and climate of Ari-
zona are both well adapted to the pro-
duction of various agricultural products
of the temperate zone.
.sOne of the valleys referred to is
that of the Salt River, which lies in the
southern part of the territory, and Of
which the principal city is Phoenix.
This valley has a semi-tropical climate.
Oranges, lemons and various other
semi-tropical fruits are grown there
with the greatest success. These fruits
ripen earlier than they do in Southern
California, and this gives the Salt
River country an advantage over Cali
fornia in supplying the early fruit
market of the far East. Horticulture
in that part of Arizona is destined to
become a prosperous rnd extensive in

OUR local authorities are to be c

Our local authorities are to be con-
graduated upon the methods taken by
them to rid Flagstaff of the tramp
nuisance. Heretofore when these
gentry were takeninto custody, charges
of petty larceny or something similar
were entered against them. Their
fines they never paid, and the county
was put to the expense of feeding and
taking care of them at dead loss.
During the past week those who were
arrested for pilfering or showing no
visible means of support were taken
into court and charged with yagrancy
upon which charge. in case of con-
viction, the prisoner can be enrolled
in the chain gang and compelled to do
duty ON the public highways. As the
tramp is adverse TO work at best, we
think our officials have taken the best
means within their power TO rid the
town Of this piifering, debauched and
insolent class of humanity, for when it
once becomes known among them that
Flagstaff is supporting a iirst-elass
chain gang they will give us wide
berth.
