Prosperity in the Palouse.
(Spokesman-Review,


1t is doubtful if in any other section
of the country there 10 more noticeable
change in conditions during the last ten
years than in the Palouse. 1t might al
most be termed an advance from pow
erty to affluence, from depression to
prosperity, from general dependency to
universal hope, citation and contentment.
Ten years ago the entire country was
complaining of hard times, and the Pa
louise was about as hard hit as any other
section that found itself hard up and
with no apparent way of getting out of
the difficulty. The people had little or
no money, their farms were mortgaged,
back interest was due, small debts had
accumulated, their products found poor
markets, and it was an unusually san
guine man who could see daylight ahead
The land of those who would sell went
begging; there was no demand for it.
And if real estate transfers were re-
corded, it was not because the purchaser
wished to buy. but because he was
forced to do it if he would get what was
coming to him.
Since that gloomy period the heavy
skies have lifted, and for several years
fortune has continued to favor those who
struggled with so much determination
against the adversely that spared so few.
Many of those who succeeded by great
effort in holding their farms have been
able not only to raise their mortgages
and get square with the world, but also
to increase their property and reap
larger profits than ever from greater
acreage. 1t is not a question as TO who
will buy, but as to who will sell. The
farmers, as a rule, do not care to part
with their holdings, but are anxious to
add to what they already have. They
have done well with their crops, and
homeseekers from the east having
learned of it are eager to acquire Palouse
land. AS result, there is a more gem
eral improvement of farms and more
solid movement in farm property than
the Palcuse has witnessed for many
wears.

cultivated. They try to 60 beyond the
limit, and they-and the hired man
pay the penalty.
Under existing general conditions, the
farm hand can hardly be blamed for pro-
tecting himself neither can afford to
recede from his position, yet one or the
other must do so. The time may some
day come when it will be possible to
conduct the ordinary farm on ordinary
business principles-when regular hours
will prevail and farm work will become
something better than mere drudgery-
but so long as present methods prevail,
either the farmer or his help Tor both)
must get the short end of the strike

PULLMAN, Wash, April Z

SASANNAA'5 W S-~@N't - r. a.
Editor of the HERALD.-Under
date Of April | noticed a commu-
nication from Mr.. Thos. Neill in
regard to what was supposed to be
statement of Mr.. Aaron Jones in
Pullman March 25th. Mr.. Neill,
in reviewing the figures, was correct
in his statements. Your informant
as to the statements of Mr.. Jones
was mistaken. Mr.. Jones said that
the farmer created 10 per cent. OF
the wealth, but ommitted to say
what proportion of the 1914, O0O,O 0O,-
700 the farmer now owned. This
omission was intentional, and he
stated later that he had done so for
the sole purpose of giving the audi
ence an opportunity to ask the
question: What per cent. of this
wealth does the farmer now own?"
No one asked the question; there
fore Mr.. Jones never stated what
was the lot of the farmer.
We are glad Mr.. Neill took up
this question, as it gives us good
opportunity to correct the error of
the press. One of the fundamental
principles of the Grange is to study
the economic questions of the day,
and | think no greater wrong can
be done our order than the circula-
ton of misleading statements pur-
ported to emanate from the worthy
master of the national grange.

to be the best they have ever witnessed.

It was the second revival of the regattas
instituted many years ago by the Potomac
River Regatta Association. The annual
meeting of the best oafsnaen In this Sec
tion of the country was formerly feature
on the Potomac. But for several years past
there was lack of enthusiasm which pre-
cluded the possibility of creditable repre-
sentation of high-claSS racing crews, and
SO the enjoyable aquatics were allowed to
lapse.

TO BE BANKED AT ST. LOUIS.
Secretary Shaw Arranges to Deposit
$2,5OO,OOO Government Funds.

Secretary Shaw who is in the west, an
nounced late Saturday afternoon that he
had arranged to deposit with certain ma
tional banks of st. Louis the sum of 81 5OO,-
600 of government money, to be secured by
approved state and municipal bonds. The
Secretary states that he has taken that ac-
ton because the banks have been under a
strain to meet the demands caused by the
expenses Of the Louisiana purchase exposi-
ton. AS the crop-moving season Is now on,
and as the banks have been doing much in
aid of the exposition, the Secretary thinks
he is justified in temporarily increasing the
deposits of government money now with
the banks Of that city. He states that the
deposits will not remain permanently with
the banks. He permits the use of securi-
ties other than government bonds because
of the high price of government bonds at
this time. The state and municipal securi-
ties to be received by the treasury will be
for only so per cent of their face value and
the banks will not be required to take out
circulation. The money will be sent to ST.
Louis as soon as the requisite amount Of Sc
curities has been received by the Treasury
Department.

THE POSTAL INVESTIGATION.
Work May Be Complsted by October
1st.

The investigation into the postal scandals
will be pushed forward to completion as
RAPIDLY as possible from now on. and by
October 1t is expected that the work will
have been completed. ( Solicitor General
Hoyt Of the Department of Justice and
Messrs Charles J. Bonaparte and Holmes
Conrad. the special counsel selected, will be
in the city shortly in order to assist in the
task of completing the Investigation. Addi-
tional indictments are expected to be made
by the federal grand Jury in postal cases
now under consideration.
The arrest Of George w. Beavers, late
superintendent of the division of allowances
and salaries. is expected in the not far dis
tant future, although it may be couple of
weeks before the law officers decide that
the time has come to make the arrest It
is understood that the arrest of Mr. Beav-
ers can be made at any time it is deemed
expedient, and that in the view of those
prosecuting the cases 1t will be just as we'll,
if not better. to defer his arrest for some
time. But the investigation nears an
end the time for this action is looked for
not far off.
AT the Post Office Department today the
inspectors were busily engaged in the rooms
assigned for their use few days ago
the fifth floor. Several of the inspectors
who have not yet completed the writing of
their reports were in these rooms all day.
No decision has yet been reached by the
disposition of the $4,000 which is being
withheld from the Bundy Manufacturing
Company for the time clocks furnished tho
department. by the company. 1t is under
stood that the so-called Contract" by
which Masten and Beavers undertook 10
bind the department to the purchase of
Bundy clocks for a period Of four years,
was merely a letter signed by Masten as
acting first assistant postmaster general
accepting a proposition" made by the
Eundy company, and was, in reality, no
contract at ALL
1t is suggested that as there is no valid
contract existing the department can turn
back to the company the surplus clocks
which were apparently purchased for no
other purpose than to swell the bill, and
decline to pay for them. This would save
the government thousands of dollars. An
ether solution advanced is that a COM
promise may be reached by which the gov
ernment will pay the regular market price
or less for the clocks, cutting out the 40
per cent" or $50 to $50 advance on each
clock.
