BANKS ARE ALL
IN GOOD SHAPE
OFFICERS HERE SURPRISED
AT STATEMENT MADE BY CON-
TRoLLER OF CURRENCY.

Bankers Here Say Banks Were New
err I'm Better ConditiOn---Mr. r. D..
Bloodworth Says the Banks Have
Greater Resources Now Than Ever
Before, Though He Thinks the
Loans They Have Made Are Also
LarSer-Thinks Usual Money Will
Have to he Obtained from New
York, but no More.
Savannah bankers take exceptions to
the statement recently made by the
controller Of the currency to the effect
that banks in Georgia are not as we'll
will be made upon them as they were
in 1903. The banks in Savannah at
least were never in better condition
Savannah bank officials say.
According to the statement, the de-
mand on the banks in most of the
states will be about the same as last
year, though in a few. Georgia in
cluded, the demand is expected to be
heavier. There are several states in
cluded with Georgia in the statement
that the banks are not in as good
position to meet demands as formerly.
Mr.. F. D. Bloodworth, cashier of the
National Bank of Savannah, said yes
terday that the banks were
never in better condition. The
resources are greater than ever be-
fore, he said. but he though it also
true that larger loans had been made
To meet the demands that are to be
made upon them, he thinks New York
will have to be called upon.
1.-The banks are in as good condition
as ever" he said, 'ibut l think they
will have to call on New York banks
for as much money as ever early in
the season."
Mr.. Mills B. Lane, president Of the
Citizens Bank, said upon his return
from New York two weeks ago that
he thought in short time the bank
ers would be seeking borrowers, in
stead of the borrowers approaching
the bankers, as is now the case. With
in the next ninety days he said he ex-
pected to see more money in the
South than there would be opportuni-
ties for immediate, profitable invest
ment.
All the bankers agree that the banks
are in excellent shape, though they do
not all agree as to whether the de-
mand upon them for moving the crop
this year is to be greater than last.
Not only are the city banks in good
shape, but the banks in the smaller
towns are also said to have plenty OF
money on hand. There has been less
borrowing from the city banks than
formerly, and the city banks in turn
have done less borrowing from the
North.

Liver FIuke in Live Stock.

One of our subscribers at Royal,
Clallam County, has noticed his stock
more or less affected with some mys-
terious disease that, while not killing
them off directly, was keeping them in
very poor condition. He finally wrote
The Ranch, giving an outline of the
way his stock was affected and asking
for definition of the disease and the
remedy He said: "My stock has
some kind of disease in the liver. l
have noticed it with the sheep, whose
'ivers are full of small, fat leaf-shaped
insects. In some sheep I have butch
cred this insect was quite numerous
and the liver was white spotted.
also found the same kind in the liver
of 21h-year-old heifer, which l butch
cred lately, and l came to the conclu-
sion that all my cattle are affected
with it, as they are not doing as we'll
as they should. I have good hay.
mixed clover and timothy. They eat
any amount and their droppings are
soft, but still, they look raggy and
poor. I keep them in a good barn
and when rainy l turn them out just

Free RANGE Declared a Curse.

William Hanley, of Burns, Ore, is
the president of the newly formed Ore
gon Cattlegrowers' Association. Mr..
Hanley has spent many years on the
range and is pretty well posted on
conditions. Regarding the granting of
free range by the government to stock
men, Mr.. Hanley is most outspoken.
He says the practice is a curse and
should be abolished. 1t would be far
better for all concerned to abolish
he asserts, and adds that it is one of
"favoritism, unfair privileges and rot
tenness." The cure for the iniquity,
as he views it, is private ownership,
or the leasing of the range where a
sale by the government is impracti-
cable The reasons advanced by Mr..
Hanley in the premises appear emf
nelly sound. He defines the practice
thus: "The man who has the strong
est pull gets the free range, and the
man who hollers the loudest has the
strongest pull. Meanwhile, self-respect-
ing citizens are forced to the outside,
to make way for the fellows that boiler
and have the pull. That's how the
sheep of the man with the pull in Cas-
cade reserve are worth 81 head
more than those of the less fortunate
brother. The latter pays taxes which
the other man doesn't, in order to
support a government which gives his
rival free grass out of his pocket or
out of his toll, and he finds the gov
eminent, to which he pays taxes, aid
ing to his detriment the other fellow
who doesn't pay taxes. The govern
ment should sell it's ranges to highest
bidders, if you please, and should lease
to highest bidders grazing lands in re-
serves. That's the way to protect the
grass, since if a man puts his money
into land he's going to take care of
it; otherwise it makes no difference
to him whether the grass is pulled,
up with the roots or not. Land that
passes into private ownership will con-
tribute taxes to the support of gov
eminent. Payment of taxes will COM
pei the owners to turn the land to
a profitable use. Just now the govern
ment subsidies free land against pri-
yate land and compels the pri-
The latter bear the expense of pro-
tecting property and administering the

body. He delivered a strong annual
address, calling attention to variety
of problems that are of vital import
ance to the livestock interests. The
sheepmen's convention was presided
over by President F. e. Warren.
