PROSPERITY OF WEST
Is Becoming a Creditor Instead Of a
Debtor.
CHARLES G. DAWES TALKS
BANKS MAKING LOANS IN THE
EASTERN MARKETS.
Comptroller of Currency Says That
While a Few Years Ago the
Western States We're Specializing
In Future Values, They Are Today
Developing Present Values.

Chicago. Ills, June 24.-Compsroller
Charles G. Dawes was in Chicago on
his return journey from Puget sound,
whittier he accompanied Senator Fair
banks of Indiana. The latter went up
to Alaska on the revenue cutter Nc
Culloch to investigate the boundary
dispute. The comptroller spoke of the
financial condition of the west and
other matters of current interest, say
ing:
To-day the west is becoming a cred
itor instead of a debtor. and is doing a
large portion of its business with its
own capital. Many of the banks in the
west which a few years ago were re-
discounting large lines of paper at high
rates in the east are now competitors
in the making of loans in the eastern
markets.
The conditions of business through
out the west is extremely good and in
marked contrast with the conditions
which existed there several years ago.
The people seem to be engaged almost
exclusively in the development of the
great resources of the country.
THE west of 1892 was in a great
measure devoted to specializing upon
future values, as was to a certain ex-
tent the case throughout the country
but the west of 1899 is developing pres
ent values. While the western man of
1892 dealt largely in equities. he is now
dealing very largely in unincumbered
fees. The recovery of the west from
the depression of 1898 has been spien-
did. That such complete recovery
could be made on the Pacific coast in
a few years is a commentary upon the
great resources of the country and a
tribute to the character of its popula-
ton.
There seems to be a general senti-
ment on the part of the people on the
coast that the Alaskan boundary diff
ficulty will be properly and rightfully
settled without trouble. They feeI
however. the keeneSt interest in the
subject, and fully realize the import
ance of a proper decision to their own
commercial welfare.

CORRECT MIDSUMMER STYLESFORMEN

For the dog days and lounging at
home, loose silk coats are beyond all
dispute the coolest and the most pre-
sentable negligee jackets possible
Ribbed Japanese silk. that will wash
like tea cup, makes a coat that is
WondrouSly comfortable when the ther-
mometer is establishing a record every
minute These coats are made up on
this side of the water or come from the
hands of a Japanese tailor, taught the
art of them by EngliShJnen out in the
east, who give deal of attention to
dressing with reference to the climate.
The silks they are cut from are usually
in light summary tint, and the shape
OF the garment is that of the long tried
and Notwithstanding blazer.
French Bathing Clothes.
Last season a manufacturer be-
thought himself seriously of the incon-
gruouS appearance of his sex on the
fashionable beaches and tried TO push
a suit made of a stiff green and white
striped goods that more nearly resem-
bled he'd ticking than anything else in
quality, and no man could justifiably
bring himself to the point of wearing
It. At one or two places this season
have been seen what are called French
bathing clothes. They show points
worth adoption.
The elastic dark blue brooches are
met at the knee by rough wool long
hose. that, like those of the eighteenth
century, roll up over the knee and curl
back to cover the elastic circles neces-
sary for keeping them in place. Some
distance below the hips falls tunic
of rough dark blue flannel, short
sleeved, with a smallish collar rolling
away from a vest of stripes and held
at its point by a white sailors neck
tie. This tunic may or may not be
worn with a broad flannel belt, and it
surely deserves to be introduced at
every sea beach where men take their
dip along with the women.
The Brown Straw Bowler.
The straw hat season came in with
out a flourish and few novelties. Over
in England they have been trying to
the BritiSher fondly terms his derby.
The straw bowler is far cooler than
the fiat sailor with its nearly air-tisht
crown, 20 which we cling on this side
and perhaps if the Prince of Wales
would consent to crown his royal head
with a comfortable dome of cigar-col-
ored straw, men on two sides of the
Atlantic would follow his cue.
Around about the summer resorts the
fishing, cycling, driving contingent of
the male population seem to prefer
their very lightweight pearl gray AL
pines TO the new smart Japanese cane
sailors that seem the one venture the
manufacturers have attempted in de-
Walton from the conventional tough.
yellow. skimming dish affair.
Many of the straw hats have their
crown belts of black groS- grained silk
drawn at the side through perfectly
fat black enamel slides. and a con-
siderable showing has been made of
the blue-banded cream straws and caps

for that knight pledged to recover the
Holy Grail, and this fatal seat was oc-

notable of which is Tennyson's Ar

The earliest picture Of King Arthur
and his famous round table was found
only lately in an old manuscript in the
National library of Paris. According
to the legend, this wonderful table was
made by the great Wizard Merlin and
came into the possession of King Ar
thur only when he married Queen
Guinevere. A hundred knights were
presented to him with the table, but it
had room for $50. Every seat was oc-
cupied when King Arthur instituted his
order of The Knights Of the Round
