SECRETARY SHAWs'
REPORT.
LAST

Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
NJ. Shaw has filed his last official re-
port. 1t is a carefully compiled
statement and will be reviewed with
interest by all Americans who like
to keep informed concerning the work.
ings Of that vast and complicated de-
partment of government which deals
with the finances of the nation.
The report shows that the total
revenues of the government for the
fiscal year of 1906 were S762. 1856. 9O4. GO.
The total expenditures amounted to
$736, III, 528.Ol.
The difference between receipts
and expenditures means surplus of
of s25. 500. 1922. 81.
Secretary Shaw appropriately OUT
lines some of the most notable ac-
complishments of the five years in
which he has been at the head of the
treasury department.
Notwithstanding the expenditures
of $lO, 600, 900 to the republic of Pan
anna and $40. 900. 600 to the Panama
Canal company for the right of way
on which to construct the canal and
$40, 100000 expended in preliminary
work upon the canal and the issuance
of $50. 900, 600 IN bonds for continuing
the work of construction, the bonded
Indebtedness of the government has
increased during the last five years
$14. 900, 600, the annual interest charge
has decreased $4,000, 600. the money
in the treasury to the credit of the
general fund has increased nearly
$50, 900. 600. while the total circula-
tion in the country has increased
$500. 600, 600 and the per capita circu-
lation nearly SIS.
| The history of the United States
treasury department will do full
justice to Leslie M. Shaw Its YER
dict will not rest upon the testi-
mony of the carping critics who have
no use for man with enough brains
and independence of character to out
line policy and adhere to it to the
end. 1t will give him rank among
the ablest secretaries of the treasury
who ever occupied the position.
| In the five years in which he has
been at the head of the treasury de-
partment Secretary Shaw has reflect
ed nothing but honor upon the state
of Iowa, and his old neighbors will
wish him we'll wherever he goes or in
whatever he undertakes.

LODGE BUILDINGS
AT SPOKANE FAIR
-Four Permanent Structures Will
Be on the Grounds
This Year.

One of the most noticeable features
about this years Spokane Fair will be
the new buildings erected by lodges and
other organizations. Last year the
W. c. T. U. stood alone in this particu.
lar. having the only special permanent
building on the grounds. This year
there will be four permanent buildings
added.
The Woodmen of the World have
erected log cabin. which is an attract
i've building with great fireplace. where
they will entertain their friends. The
Women of Woodcraft have built bun.
galow next to the w. o. w. cabin, which
is unusually neat in appearance and will
be attractively furnished and occupied
by committees from Spokane lodges.
The Modern Woodmen of America will
have one of the most substantial build.
ings in Spokane. 1t will be built from
no less an expensive materia. than con.
crete. The members propose to have
the most elegant accommodations Of any
organization on the grounds. Another
bungalow will be built by the Fraternal
Brotherhood. this making the fourth sub.
stantial permanent building put up this
year.
These are not all the organizations
which will have deliberately furnished
headquarters. The Knights and Ladies
of Security, the Maccabees and the Odd
Fellows were not able to put up perma-
nent buildings this time, but will be on
the grounds in tents.

A basket containing some fine samples
of peaches. plums, pears. apples and
peach plums was brought to this Office
last Monday by M. V. Simas OF Cow
creek. The fruit was of a rich flavor
and are the finest samples we have seen
OF home production. They were raised
without irrigation in the gentleman's
orchard twelve miles east of town.
Among the interesting exhibits which
will be made in the Home Industry
building of the Spokane Interstate Fair
by the 10000 Club of Spokane will be a
printing press and outfit in operation.
This will be installed by the Quick Print
Co. of Spokane, which will publish a
daily bulletin on the fair grounds.
Just as the men we're quitting work for
noon last Friday fire broke out on the
threshing outfit OF Gustave PLACER near
Paha completely destroying the whole
machinery. besides two stacks of wheat.
The men worked hard to extinguish the
blaze. but were unable to save anything
except the horses. Insurance of $3.50
was carried.
Bernie Brockhausen, who has Tor the
past sixteen months oficiated as the
chief hot air artist at Martins Cafe, be-
sides doing stunts at china Juggling and
fancy cooking. left last Friday for Pros

Wooden shoes are gathering into use
in America, chiefly among our adopted
citizens. A few years ago there was sup
posed to be only one maker of sabots in
New York City. Now there are known
to be several manufacturers in New
York and other cities. Indeed, the in.
dustry has grown in Michigan to be
lusty infant, and manufacturers from
that state have asked to be protected by
a tariff on the foreign product.

being very rough and uneven. Most of
his men have secured jobs on threshing
machines and will continue in the field.
