The West and tho Banks.

With the return of better times the
West is likely TO recover from its in
cipient madness. A little while ago there
was something like a proclamation OF
new secession. The expanding
and radical regions of the remote
continent, We were told, did not need the
slow and old-fashioned communities of the
Atlantic. They could afford to drop the
East and they should do IT Their chief
grievance was a financial one. They wanted
to play such tricks with the currency
and the standards of value as they please d
without interference. 1t Is pleasant to re-
ceive token of friendliness and common
sense from the young state OF Washing
ton. Seattle has among its other mod
ern improvements q clearing house.
The other day this association
met and resolved that recent criti-
cisms on the New York city. banks were
unwarranted and unjust and that the
course of these banks should be COM
mended by the people of the United States
as wise, patriotic and of the widest popu-
lar benefit" This is intelligent and
reasonable. Now and then the opinion
seems TO prevail in some quarters, chiefly
beyond Chicago, that bank is palpable
evil spirit, impelled by its own
vicious instincts 10 destroy or in
jure all objects coming within its
reach. and that when a number of these
spirits combine. the day of doom draws
near. The people of Seattle are TO be
clearer view that banks are merely
public institutions, devised and
controlled by solid and trustworthy bust
ness men for useful public purpose, and

CHEHsIIs, Oct og.-ispeeiai. AS ap-
pears by the figures on the county auditors
books the assessed valuation Of the city of
chehalis is greater than that of any other
city in the county for the FIRST time. It's
lower than last year, but the valuation Of the
entire county is much lower in proper
ton. As it IL generally onceded that the
assessment this year was more fairly made
than for some years past. ii Is apparent
that In spite of hard times, Chehaiis has
made substantial and gratifying progress
in the last year. while other towns have
barely held their own or have actually
fallen behind. This Is due to the fact with
which the Chehalis people always con-
tented themselves in the boom period three
or four years ago. when neighboring towns
boosted OF their more rapid advancement,
that the rich agricultural valleys of the
ChehAlis and Newaukum Immediately
tributary would guarantee the town
stability. and even prosperity.
when the heat of the boom
had proved Its own destruction,
aud speculation had brought disaster TO
more promising communities. The as
sessed valuation Of the four principal
towns of Lewis county this year Is as fol-
lows: Chehalis, SOL ,0s9; Centralia,
so72, TAI; Winlock. $40, SIS; Toledo, $is. 76i.
