them not to plant any more potatoes

that large amount, through the

to keep the price low for at least year

MONEY TO GET RID OF.
San Francisco Banker Anxious to
Loan It-Seattle's High Credit.

A glut of money is something that many
OF us are not troubled with-a glut of the
absence of money is more general But
Manager George Tourny, of the German
bank at San Francisco said last night that
his institution was refusing deposits every
day. The German bank has probably in
vested more money in loans in Seattle
than any one other institution. Before
the fire it was loaning money here, and
directly after the fire Manager Tourny
was here in person to direct the placing
of over 1000 900. all of which went into
tho rebuilding of the city to it's present
standard of good business blocks. Mr..
Tourny always has had and has now a.
great deal of faith in Seattle. Last night
he said:
az am almost ashamed TO say that now
the business outlook for Seattle IS better
than that of San Francisco. Times were
better four months ago in San Francisco
than they are now. San Francisco is be-

Prosperity of the Missions In Japan.

preached yesterday morning N Grace
Episcopal church. and in the evening at
Trinity church. Bishop McKim was sent
70 Janan from the Chicago diocese In 1850
Speaking OF his work last night he said;
sit Is our aim 10 develop a sclf-support-
ing Japanese church, and our efforts are
being rewarded. Seven years ago there
was boom In our work. Everything
that was Western was grasped by the bet
ter class of natives. Then there came a
reaction. and everything that was for
eign became unpopular. In that year or
two. however, all the missions in Japan
were particularly successful. Six or seven
additional EMISSIONS were opened in ia
pan. Six native ministers had commits
slons from the government as chapiains
in the army, and Shinto priests asking
the same privileges were refused. The
Japanese minister OF war gave permission
10 every missionary To- visit the missions,
preach and distribute tracts. We believe
this To be the result of the impressions
made BY the Christian soldiers in the Jap
anesa army. The Roman Catholic mis-
eioneriss are the strongest and most influ-
ert,ai in that field, and the Russian Greek
church has great strength also. The
Methodists and EpiscopalIans are about
equally strong. Tho Presby terians, six
