GOLDEN
TIDE TURNS

PARIS, Sept. 22-The turn of
the tide of gold towards New York
is exciting the attention of bankers
and other financiers, who say that
this restores the natural movement,
which has been abnormally re-
versed for the last two years, part
ly owing to the war in the far east.
Officials of the Bank of France,
when seen by The Press Monday,
stated that the shipments to the
United States we're the resumption
of the usual conditions at this time
of year. The bank itself had not
made shipments, but the officials
referred to the shipments made by
Lazard, Freres & Co. as Indicating
the general tendency. However,
the bank did not regard the move
ment as likely to make serious in
roads into the French stock of gold
owing to the unusually large gold
balance in the Bank of France.

would be chance to gamble on
the blue or the gold. No one would
be able to enjoy the sensation of
watching little gold ball spinning
around the circumference of a
wheel before it drops in the pocket.
"The first ball out of the wooden
bottle" is the rule of the new game.
The new form of taking
chances" was not inaugurated I'M
til after the grand jury had ad-
journed. AS it is, it may be that
the prosecuting attorney will be
compelled to look into the matter.
1t is said that he has been told of
the little layout" but as yet has
not been present at any of the little
Sitting" where the paraphernalia
was in full operation.
1t would seem anomalous in the
years to come to know that the
county of Spokane had been sued
to recover sum of money said
to have been lost at gaming in the
courthouse with new and popular
device known as pick the blue or
the gold"
The game is new yet, having
been known to the professional
operatives now in charge of it but
a day or so, and it is fact that they
have not yet progressed to the
state where their fingers deceive
the eye while setting the blue and
the gold little boys in motion. No
books have as yet been posted, but
the game promises to be popular
among the devotees.
Next Wednesday the little balls
will fall to determine where the de-
fault divorce cases are to go and
there will be a number of persons
interested in finding out whether
chance has sent them to No. / or
No. 2.

1t is understood that Mr.. Corbin
has paid the state good price for
the parts of the lots he desires for
his right of way. 1t may be that
he may desire to purchase at the
sale the remainder of those lots for
warehouse purposes. 1t is said that
a strip of more than 100 feet for
railroad right of way can not be
purchased through state lands cred
tied to the schools, and that is the
reason why these fractional lots

Two more robberies were report

of which entailed the loss of a
buggy and the other clothing,

the side of the brick are other
magic terms which in the parlance
of the devotees of the game indi-
cate that IF the ball comes blue,
she will go to No. 1, and if she
comes gold she will go to No. g."
That means if after the little blue
and gold balls have been properly
manipulated in the hands of the op-
erative the first one which falls
out casts the die for department
No. l of the superior court in and
for Spokane county, in which de-
partment the action at law then in
the balance Of fate and justice must
be tried. If "she comes gold" the
case must be tried in department
No. 2 of the superior court in and
