Mighty Good Reading.

One Of the best signs of a return

stantlal prosperity is represented
in Spokane, bank clearings.
From all the Pacific Northwest
similar stories come in, which
show that the revival i, general.
The bank clearings in all of the
large ceLters have increased won
derfully, but in no other place is
increase more noticeable than in
his city.
Six years ago the clearings for
the week ending September 7 were
S244, 7S8. The clearings for the
week ending September 7, 1899,
SI595, This record speaks for
itself. Ii it does not indicate a re-
turn of confidence and the ex-
pansion Of business then nothing
does. 1t means that the week 5
transactions were six times as
great this year as they were in
the dark days of the panic.
For several years the cleaiings

four years following altogether
There are few places in the COUNT y
which can make such n financial
showing as this and it bears the
Spokane people out i'll claiming
that this city is as active in a bust
way as any other in all the
country.
The bank clearings indicate tina
something is doing, that capital i:
busy, that people are trading, tina
property il changing hands, tina
money is being made in commercial
circles. Resources are not hoard

The Change in the West.

One of the most remarkable
features of the present commercial
situation is the part which the
western banks are playing in the
general financial operations of the
country. as indicated by reports of
the convention OF bankers as.
ISOLATION in Cleveland. Wall
street experts have stated that
efforts which have been made to
force decline of the market have
tailed because the western banks
are supplied with money far be-
yond their local needs, and because
all good securities put upon the
market have been snapped up by
nonresident purchasers.

problems of the Northwest are
simply in allegiance for the present
but the inaction will not last long.
Agreement is possible, in order to
avoid duplication of lines; and yet
the nature of the rivalry is such
that no basis on which agreement
may be reached is apparent"
The vital thing for Lewiston is
the completion of the Lewiston
Riparia branch, thus giving an out
let for the products of this country
over the most natural and direct
route to tide water, and in any
event this is assured. In case an
agreement is reached the line will
be used by the Northern Pacific to
transfer the traffic gathered at
Lewiston by the operation of its
branch lines; and if combination
is not mad, the O. r & N. will
build it alone and extend its own
feeders into the interior. and the
Northern Pacific will be forced to
parallel the present lines down the
Columbia. The suspension is
temporary, pending an attempt tC
reach an agreement. The end is
ceItain aud Lewiston position for
the future secure.

ern fuauciers, has not been made.
In fact money has been easier in
the east, aud a tension in the
money market has been aver,ed by
reason of the abundance of money
in the west. The west has had
money TO invest instead of being
in a position where it has wanted
to borrow money The crops are
being moved, not with eastern
car i,al, as has been the case i'll the
past, but with western money.
1t is a most obvious fact that
the west is prosperous beyond all
precedent. 1t has ceased to be a
debtor section and has become a
creditor section. 1t has shaken off
the grip OF poverty, of which the
people have complained aud for
which they have been seeking a
panacea. 1t has plenty Of money-
money for all necessities and COM
forts, money for Injuries, money
to invest. In short, the west, in
common with the rest OF the
country, is reaping to the full the
benefits which flow from the pro
lection of American labor aud oil
American interests in general. -

The Tax Levy.

The taxes to be raised in Nez
Perez county for State and county
purposes for the year 1899 will be
in aggregate $40, 975, and the levy
will be aboht 81 so on the $roo.
These ale the facts, MS determined
by the commissioners this week.
The so called legal levy" of s. so
will not make the amount neces-
sary TO meet the expenses of State
aud county government. A study
of the railroad assessments as
equalized by the State Board is an
interesting one, In connection with
the charge that some one has blum
dered in making the assessment.
The Northern Pacific Railway lines
in Nee Perez county were assessed
by the State Board of Equalization
at $6a5o per mile, although the
same have been already bonded at
Sas, 600 per mile. Property valua-
tons in Me- Perez county were III
creased over 70 per cent by the
assessment of this year, and there
is hardly a taxpayer in the county
tina; will claim that the present
valuations are far short of the
actual cash value of the property
levied upon. And had the railroad
been assessed at something like its
actual valae the assessed valua.
tons would have been increased
nearly a hali-million dollars and
the tax levy would he diminished
to 81 81 on the SIoo. In fixing a
blame for increased taxation Tor

A Temporary Truce.

In accordance with the provi-
sions of the six months truce, work
has stopped on the instruction of
railroad lines in the Clearwater
country. There is every indica-
ton, however, that the truce Is
considered very temporary. In
many instances the contractors will
not even remove their outfits from
the field and the camps of engi-
ncers still remain. The reelection
of President Mohler is an indica
ion that his policies will be re-
tanned with reference to the exten.
sion of the road in the Columbia
basin.

1t is not Dreyfus that will be
degraded in the ceremony at Rem
mes on Champs Mars, but rather
French Justice. The trial of
Dreyius was farce. Justice is
outraged by the decision of the
court at Rennes. The end has
been evident for some weeks, but
still the hope remained that the
press of public opinion might
cause the Judges to decide the case
on its merits rather than rendering
a decision with the purpose of
saving the general staff from a
world wide scandal. But this at
tempt to shield the real conspirators
is on par wi h the strategy of the
ostrich that hides its head in the
send to escape discovery, Out,
side of France conviction has been
reached that Dreyfus is a scape-
goat, that the real culprits are
men high in power and rank in
the French army, that the military
system of France is rotten to the
core. The outside world is not
deceived by the verdict at Renues
Justice has been outraged and
France is convicted and degraded
by public opinion in every civilized
country of the world if speedy ap.
peal is not taken from the decision
just now receiving the condemna
ton OF ever lover of justice.
