OWNERSHIP OF ABSTRACT
COMPANY HAS CHANGED
Il. G. Peck Purchases Holdings of
Yakima County Abstract and
Realty Company.

The books, records. furniture and
all other property belonging to the
Yakima County Abstract and Realty
company, of which Dr.. Ritenour was
chased by Il. G.. Peck 1t is the in
tention of Mr.. Peck to add the alb
stract business to that of real estate
and insurance, in which he is already
engaged, and all departments will be
carried on as before the change.
When DR.. Ritenour purchased the
abstract business from the Lesh Land
company, it was planned to incor-
porate under the name of the
Yakima County Abstract and Realty
company. The plan was only par
TALLY perfected, owing to the short
time elapsing. and in all probability
it will now be made complete. Off
GERS will be elected who will at once
resign and be succeeded by officers
o. the new company, and thus the
latter will be enabled to proceed with
the business under the name of the
present incorporation. Mr.. Peck
will have associated with him Miss
Ida G. Peck, relative rom the
east. who is expected to arrive this
week. and who will look after part
of the office work. The present
Offices occupied by Mr.. Peck will be
given up, and he will remove them
10 the large room now used by the
abstract company ON First street.
Miss Lizzie Osborne will remain
with the new company and continue
in charge of the abstract books. As
sisted by two others. she is now in
deying the records, and until this
work is completed the company has
decided it would be best not to
attempt to furnish any abstracts.
They will be ready for the work
about the 18th or 18th of September.
George A. McWain will remain
with Mr. Peck and will have charge
of the real estate business.

0VERDRAWING OF ACCOUNT
NOW CONSTITUTES A CRIME
According to the Act of the Legisla.
ture, Which Went Into Effect
June claws Provisions.

The following information, which
The Herald publishes by request, if
borne in mind, will save a great deal
OF trouble, not only for the banks,
but for the depositors:
| On June 8, 1905, the new law went
crime for any person to draw a check
| or draft against an account in a ma
tional, state or private bank unless
the maker of such check or draft
has to his or her credit a sufficient
amount to pay.
In the earlier days of banking
many credits We're granted in the
form of Overdrafts, the bank merely
giving its customers permission to
draw checks to specified amount
This has been found dangerous sys-
tenn Many persons would keep no
record Of their drawings, the bank
would be compelled to call halt and
decline his checks, causing no end
of inconvenience and hard feelings.
Many of the old timers relate with
pride that at a certain time they had
an unlimited credit and that their
checks would be paid for any sum
they wished to draw. Parties would
also arrange for an overdraft privilege
with the premeditated intention of
drawing checks for more money than
they were entitled to, and if the I'M
fortunate holders of the dishonored
checks should seek relief through the
courts it was frequently held that
the maker of the check had the
privilege of an overdraft, that he had
merely made an error in his accounts
and was freed of any criminal liza
bility. 1t is different now. The
banks have thousands of accounts
| and cannot watch each and every one
of them. 1t is necessary, therefore,
that borrowers arrange for their
credits by giving an acceptable note.
The amount of the note is placed in
his subject to check account
and he is required to keep his books
straight and not draw checks for
greater amount than he has to his
actual credit. Banks, by the system
of overdrafts allowed their bookkeep-
ers and tellers to make their loans
which in many cases caused heavy
losses, the overdrafts running great
er than was intended by the manager
of the bank.
'lhe banks, therefore, must not
permit overdrafts One remarkable
feature of the banks in the eastern
states is the clearness from over
drawn accounts, many of them not
permitting an overdraft under any
consideration. The new law passed
by the legislature of the state of
Washington makes overdrafts a
crime; the people must learn this,
and thus save the banks the unpleas-
ant duty of refusing to permit over
| drafts even in the accounts of it's
most worthy patrons.

The weather prophets are begin

stated by an observing hunter that
all the game birds have departed for
the big timber fully month earlier
than is their custom. An old Indian
reports that the shucks on the corn

Mr.. Bryan's Commoner states that
the reports received from correspond
ents show a systematic effort on the
part of the railroads to coerce country
editors into either keeping silence or
opposing legislation on railroad rates.
The Commoner's comment is that not
all such editors will be coerced. They
certainly will not. 1t is reasonable TO
suppose that coercion of the country
press by the railroads would prove a
most difficult. not to say perilous, un-
dertaking. If any coercion has been
attempted in New England it has es-
caped our notice. The country press
will be found almost unanimously in
support of legislation that seems to
offer any practical solution of the rail-
road rate question. If the rural edi-
tors are not shouting about ii as
loudly as the Commoner and the Me-
tropolitan press. it is because they
realize that running a railroad is
somewhat different from running a
newspaper All good citizens will sup
port the government in any rational
measures looking toward relief from
the unfair discrimination of any cor
poration. on the other hand they
mostly recognize the difficulties Of the
situation and desire nothing that can
permanently injure the great trans
portation interests Of the country.

School Trips to Washington.

New Bedford Evening Standard
The senior class Of the Bellows Falls
high school recently made a trip TO
class -day exercises. Something may
be said for the innovation, and some
thing may probably be said against It,
Much depends on the way i'm which the
boys and girls saw the capital city OF
the United States No doubt ii would
be fine thing II every high school
graduate in this country could make
a trip to Washington to signalize the
close OF the course: but whether that
would always be satisfactory sub
stitute for the class day Is at the least
an open question. We are among the
firm believers in the theory that no
American citizen should omit seeing
Washington at least once in his life.
and this at some sacrifice In other d.
rectons; and if one visit could be made
at that period when the youth could
receive his impressions free from the
blight of boredom. no doubt ii would
be immensely to his advantage. As
part of an education the visit would
be. when we'll directed. of exceeding
value and in most cases worth to him
all that 1t would cost. 1t is not prac-
ticable. of course to include such edu-
cation within the limits of that which
is paid for by the community; but 1t
is good thing for parents to think
about, and opens up a field of useful
expenditure by millionaires who are
aiming to die poor.
