Boise Statesman, Charles Lockerman
killed a mountain lion that measured
some seven feet in length. The animal
was trailed to a cave. One of the men
with Lockerman went into the cave
and started a fire. The smoke drove
the feline out and, as it emerged,
bounding through the fire and smoke,
Lockerman shot and killed it.
Boise Statesman: The controversy
over the action taken by Surveyor Cen
eral Perrault respecting the men whom
he found in Office when he assumed the
duties of his place continues to attract
much attention. Just what the out
come of it is to be does not appear.
Some think that action will be delayed
until the president shall determine
whether or not the office is to remain
under the civil service law. In the
meantime there viii be much specula-
ton about the outcome.
Blackfoot News: Receiver w. H
Stufflebeam of the First National bank
at Moscow has been requested to re-
sign. AS the News understands the
situation Mr.. Stuff1ebeam was entirely
satisfactory to the creditors of the
bank and was doing splendid work in
getting at Bob Browns banking sys-
tenn and this was too much for some
OF Mr.. Browns friends. Some fog horn
talking will grow out of Mr.. Stuf1e-
beams removal and it will give a
spicy seasoning to the politics of north
Idaho next year.

WYOMING.

Governor Richards had this to say
anent the coming meeting of cattlemen
in Denver: while the value of cattle
is greater than that of any other kind
of live stock in the western states and
territories at the present time, sheep
are a close second. The returns for
assessment purposes in Wyoming for
the current year show that during the
past ten years the total valuation of
cattle has decreased 60 per cent, horses
have decreased So per cent, while sheep
have increased 293 per cent, and swine
have increased 217 per cent. This has
been a good year for those engaged in
either the cattle or sheep business, and
both branches of industry should be
equally we'll represented in this con-
vention."

HOW ARMOUR ESCAPES.
Law Inadequate to Mulct Him In
New York State

Albany, N Y, Dec. 27.-The state de-
partment Of agriculture, the attorney
generals Office and the special counsel
engaged in the prosecution of Armour
81 Co. of Chicago, for damages amount
ing to S17O0,OOO, for violations of the
law in the distribution of oleomargar-
inc throughout the state, find them
selves IL a predicament that seems to
foreshadow failure to convict. When
a recent court order was promulgated,
giving the state counsel the right to ex-
anime the books of the various railroad
companies for evidence as to shipment,
it was believed that the conviction of
the Armours would be easily accom-
plished. It was found, however, that
the same court order refuses the state
a change of venue, and comDelS the
commissioner of agriculture and the
state counsel to prosecute the suits, of
which there are a score. in the coun-
ties in which the violation is said to
have occurred.
This would mean endless litigation,
without much prospect of result. Some
time ago the Armour people sought to
make an agreement with the state au-
thorities, whereby, if the suits were
dropped, they would pay a certain
amount, and promise not to deliver any
more unmarked oleomargarine in the
state. The proposition has been sub
mitted to the governor and while he
believes that the prosecution should
&C on, if there is any chance to con-
Wet, as a lawyer he is inclined to the
idea that the settlement would be more
advantageous to the state.

New York. Dec. N.-The only active in
terest in today's stock market was mani
tested by professional traders and they
devoted themselves almost altogether to
the recent speculative favorites of the
market which are comprised in one group
known as the specialties, and more par
ticularly the stocks of local corporations
and traction companies. The tone Of
trading was unsettled and at times, fever
ish. The strength of specialties caused
strong opening and upheld prices in the
general market so far as there was any
movement. a general movement to real
ize, due to the continued stiffness OF
apprehension over the threatening de-
velopmentS in the far east, carried prices
to last weeks level, where they remained,
in the case of many stocks. until the
close.

FACTS ABOUT SAVINGS BANKS
TENDENCY TO PAY A LOWER
RATE OF INTEREST.
New York Banks Are Not Earning
As Much AS a Few Years Ago
Bankers Interviewed.

New York. Dec. 27-With the announce
ment of the dividends to be paid next
month by the various savings banks of
this city there is general tendency to
pay a lower rate of interest than hereto
lore. A few years ago practically all the
older banks were paying interest al per
per cent per annum, but gradually this
mas been changed, so that next year the
rate OF interest in many instances will be
3lA per cent. President McMann of the
Emlgrant Industrial Savings bank said
today:
Conditions are such now that the va
rioEs banks are not earning as much as
few years ago and consequently it is i'm
practicable to pay q, rate of interest that
would perhaps tend to reduce the surplus.
The tendency is ever toward q lower
rate. say 3 per cent; not this year, nor
next, perhaps, but eventually. Most of
the per cent government bonds have ma
tured, and but few years can elapse be-
fore they are all redeemed. While banks
held these bonds it was possible to pay 4
per cent, but now In taking care OF our
new business it is not possible for bank
to earn more than 3% per cent on its cap
ital Money on call is at present very
cheap, and there must be of necessity a
retrenchment of some kind. Real estate
/ cannot be counted on too strongly, and
! today we cannot get in some instances
more than 4A per cent on the very best
i bond and mortgage"
President ]. II. Rhoades of the Green
witch Savings bank said there was d gen
eral feeling. especially up the state, that
under the present condition of investment
and returns per cent was too high, and
undoubtedly the bankers would welcome
any general movement to reduce the rate
Indeed, Mr. Rhoades had been asked to
! lend his influence in this direction. The
fact that railroads could refund their
bonds at 81 per cent showed apparently
that savings banks were in many in
stances giving a higher rate of interest
than conditions warranted. Mr.. Rhoades
f1lr-
would reduce their rates to 81 per cent
and possibly per cent.
