Investigating Land Cases.

H. R. Berndt, special agent for
the U. S. Land Office, spent the
past week IN and around Goodrich
looking after the protests which
are filed against about fifty claims
in this vicinity. Mr. Berndt has
won the good will of everyone in
this locality by his fair and square
manner of handling this business.
He has aimed to give everyone a
fair shake and says that the main
trouble lies in the ignorance of the
homesteader in regard to the law
which governs public lands. Flick.

The Financier says: THE striking fea-
ture of tie official statement of the New
York associated banks last week was the
increase of S3,S32 500 in loans. This was
entirely contrary TO expectation, a de-
crease being confidently looked for. as
indeed it has been for the last three
weeks. as the result of liquidation in the
stock market and the consequent can
cellation of bank loans.
1t appears probable. however that the
reason which was assigned in the bank
statement analysis of the previous week
for the failure of the loan item to re-
fleet the stock liquidation was correct
and that the otherwise una ccounted for
changes in this item We're due to relOan-
ing Of money. released by the cancella-
tiOn Of collateral loans and also that
loaning by the banks at call has largely
increased because OF the absentauOn by
the trust companies from such loans in

for money, these companies being mdis-
posed to disturb their deposits with
banks, upon which deposits they probably
realize a better. average return. in the
