IN BUSINESS SESSION.
New York State Club Meets and Elects
Officers

A meeting of the New York State Club
was held Saturday at it's headquarters 514
9TH street northwest, at pm. 1t was de-
cided to open a bureau of information for
the state voters, where they can be in
structed as to the dates and railroad rates,
the arrangement being under the direction
OK the executive committee. The committee
on transportation reported one f1rst-class
limited fare for the round trip to all points
In the state with the following time limits:
New York city and Brooklyn-Registra-
ton, October ID, IA. Is, 20, q and %, limit
ed to five days; election. November 5, 6, Z
and 8. limited to November IA.
New York state-Registration October 49,
IA, 10, 20, Fl, %, limited to thirty days from
and including date of sale. Election, No
venber 5. 9. and s. limited to Novem-
Der IA.
Addresses were made by John A. Merritt
of Lockport. N. Y. and Philip Steele of
Albany A resolution was unanimously
passed indorsing the state ticket.
VIM. c. Conner was reelected president
for the sixth term. He made the opening
address, and paid a glowing tribute to
PRESIDENT Roosevelt. In the course of his
remarks he said the opposition orators say
the President is an unsafe man. 1 say give
us some more unsafe men like Theodore
Roosevelt. A man who cannot vote for
him is not interested in the success of his
country or it's people. more courageous.
more honest President never sat in the
chair. The election of Theodore Roosevelt
means no disturbance in business interests,
but a continuation of prosperity, the con-
struction of the Panama canal and the up
building of our commerce abroad.
With such generals as the republican or
ganization has at it's command and a united
party behind them, 1 see no chance of the
opposition winning. We are ready, they
are not prepared; we lead, they follow; we
build up. they destroy; we unite, they di-
vide; we are strong. they are feeble; we
win. they lose.
There are 1888 bona 1de voters in Wash
ington from the state of New York, and we
hope they will not fail to exercise their
right Of franchise.
The newly-elected officers are: President,
VIM. C. Conner, New York city; vice presi-
dent, John D. Stanton, Brooklyn; recording
secretary F. B. Squiyer, Auburn; financial
secretary John c. Babcock, Albany; treas
urer, William F. Kennedy, Brooklyn.
Executive committee-John A. Merritt,
Lockport, N Y; VIM. Miller Collier. Au-
burn: John Bullough, Brooklyn; Middleton
Smith, New York city; John Babcock, AL
bany; G. F. McMorris, Brooklyn; A. H.
King, Newburg.

OUNDATION BEGUN
AMERICAN SECURITY AND TRUST
COMPANY LAYS CORNER STONE.
New Building at Pennsylvania Avenue
and Fifteenth Stakeholder
Of Exercises.

A simple but appropriate program was
carried out this afternoon. when the cor
ner stone was laid OF the granite structure
which Is being erected at the northwest
corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and 18th
street by the American Security and Trust
Company. This time next year 1t Is ex-
pected the building will be completed and
the company will be occupying Its new
home.
In order to have a record made Of the
date of the erection of building which
will represent. when the cost of the ground
is included. an expenditure of about 5000.
600, 1t was decided to place in the granite
block at the corner a copper box contain
ing the records that are usually preserved
In this manner
There is no definite record, at least none
has thus far been found. of the date of the
erection of the old structure. which was re-
moved in order to make place for this
fine modern building. AS the home or the
branch in this city of what Is known as
the Second United States Bank. the old
building was associated with the early ms
tory of the city. 1t was erected prooaoiy
shortly prior to the year 1928 and had,
therefore, been standing nearly eighty
years when taken down.
In the opinion of Col. H. +. Blount, the
vice president of the company and the act
ing president in the absence from the city
of President Bell, the beginnings of the
successor of the old building ought to be
preserved in some form, and so simple
program for a corner stone laying was de-
viSed.
The Ceremonies.
At the close of the regular monthly meet
ing of the board of directors of the COM
pany this afternoon the members proceeded
to the site of the new structure. Col.
Blount presided, and a copper box contain
ing the following articles was placed In the
corner stone: List of stockholders, with
shares of each; officers of the company,
1904, in autograph directors of the COM
pany, 1901; charter, acts of Incorporation
and bylaws, annual reports from organiza-
ton to date, contracts relating to purchase
Of land and erection of building, copy OF
papers, city directory for 1904. A few words
were spoken by Col. Blount, and the cere-
monies came to an end
Col. Blount spoke as follows:
Gentlemen, Directors: l have invited
you to be present at the laying of the cor
ner stone of our new home-that is to be.
1t is through your wise and conservative
management that this increase of working
room has been called for and if we and our
successors are as vigilant in the future as
you have been in the past this corner stone
will long represent the rock foundation on
which our institution is built"

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-02-01

circular is issued by Congressman
Trimble, who represents the district
in Kentucky which is supposed to be
the genuine blue grass district, 1T is
not surprising that he may think there
is no other grass worthy of mention
except Kentucky blue grass The
statement made as to the lack of value
of the grass known as Canadian blue
grass, or P0G cOmpreSSd, is not war
ranted. The facts in the case are that
POd cOn1preSSG is an excellent grass
under many conditions, and in eastern
Washington it is fully the equal of
Kentucky blue grass, or PoG prdtenSiS,
for pasture.
"The prices for orchard grass and
meadow fescue in the market are prac-
tically the same. 1t is evident that
the author of the bill is not very well
posted on the relative values of these
different grasses for different parts of
the United States.
81 believe that if adulteration of this
character could be prevented it would
be an excellent thing, particularly
if the adulteration is in the form of
seeds of injurious plants, but I doubt
very much if this bill will prevent this
from being DONE"
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-02-01

has no sympathy with such movements,
and is glad to see that the attempt
to instruct the legislature of Oregon
as to some of it's duties in relation to
horticulture failed through the good
sense of the delegates. The same
might be said of the declaration made
by our friend, Col. Bosch, that the well
known Italian prune should have its
name changed to "the Oregon prune."
This locks like an attempt on the part
of Oregon to take all the credit that
belongs to the quartette of states in
prune raising. II the name were to be
changed at all it would be more ap-
propriate to make it "the Washington
prune," for the simple reason that in
Washington is found the finest prune
in the world. 1t wcdld have stirred
up hornets nest" in Washington and
threatened the disruption of the asso-
citation had the suggestion to change
the name to 'the Oregon prune"
carried.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-02-01

One of the questions today confront
ing the department of the postmaster
general in charge of rural delivery is
the inadequacy Of the pay given car
riers on rural routes. Six hundred dol
lars is the usual pay per year. The
carrier must keep a horse and his
route often takes him away from home
all day, giving scarcely any time for
attending to a small garden or some
other side line, so as to help replen-
ish his larder. In the east and south,
where the scale of wages is low, this
figure is sufficient to retain good men
indefinitely, but in the northwest the
situation is different. Wages are high
here and every man with ambition
knows he can generally get more than
$50 month at other lines Of work.
1t is, therefore, difficult to keep an
efficient carrier in the service long.
designations have been numerous and
the service has been so demoralized
in sections that the postoffice depart
ment has promised to have congress
make the scale higher. In some parts
of the country-at Hood River, Ore,
for instance-the service was in dang
er of being discontinued indefinitely
on account of the inability to secure
carriers. The patrons of certain routes
came to the rescue with subsidies of
$3.50.
