Des Moines Iowa, Nov. 9.-Judge Howe
has handed down a decision affecting tax
alton of al savings and national banks
in Iowa He rules that savings banks
may hold bonds and that the state may
collect taxes on the same from the DanK
itself. Government bonds may be re-
garded as an exemption from the prop
erty Of the bank itself, but in assessing
shares against the holders no deduction
can be made because the bank holds gov
erpment bonds.
The case involves 81, 100000 in assess
ments in the city Of Des Moines alone
and when applied by assessors all over
the state will increase the state assess :
ment not less than S50.0O0,000.

Vancouver, B. c.. Nov. 9.-Public opin-
ion is simmering down in this province

Lynn canal ports, Canada's claim was
practically annulled by the United States

velopment Of the ports as also by many
practical admissions in British and Cana
dian maps and speeches, including sew
eral addresses delivered in parliament at
Ottawa some years ago the abortive
Canadian Yukon railway project by the
way of Teslin lake by no less a person
than Premier Laurier himself.
On the other hand, Canada gains some
by no means unimportant concessions on

Ridley, but also, such leading British

In this opinion c. H. Lugrin, who until
