into a state OF practical stagnation. Tho

stdcred to pronisc any large Improvement
In the condition OF the money market.
The cash item showed n gain OF some
thing over a million dollars, which was
better than expected, but the loans al
the same time increased $685., 800. The.
resulting growth in the deposit item and
the expansion OF tho reserve requirement
resulted in a shrinkagc in the surplus OF
$50s,575. The change in the loan item
may have been Influenced by the shifting
OF accounts incident to the large divi-
dend payments on Wednesday, but the
repayment OF maturing obligations to for
#eign borrowers. which was reflected IN the
weeks demand for foreign exchange, IL
supposed also TO kave been ansf,rrcd

No hat FOR
DEAR DOGC|E

Workers in a local department
store were driven almost to in
sanity by a well dressed young
woman few days ago. She rush.
ed in with hair flying, grabbed the
first floorwalker she saw. and pro-
claimed that she must catch the
Cdeur d'Alene train in 10 minutes.
Her list was at least a yard long,
and it hard to decipher the names
ofiethe articles. Last of all she
wanted bright red maine braid and
tie wire" None of the clerks
knew what "tie wire was and she
began questioning from the station
cry to the hardware department. In
the latter place a clerk asked what
the wire was for.
sssShe hesitated, then confessed it
vas to make a frame for a hat
q hat intended to shade her dear
doggie when he followed her trap.
The braid was for the same pur-
pose. But the store which boasts
of it's varied stock, was not pro-
vided with wire for dogs hats. The
girl failed of her purpose, and
missed her train In the bargain.

CAMPAIGN ON

The local Referendum league,
according to statement made by
an officer this morning. will make a
harder and more effective cam
palgn for the reforms advocated by
the league in the future than has
been made in the past. The league
in very short space of time has
accomplished much progress and
the officers are now engaged in
securing material for campaign
of education which will include
every portion of the state and will
continue until election day.
One feature of this work that
has given the promoters great
satisfaction has been the manner
in which citizens of every walk
of life and all political creeds have
Joined the league and are pledging
themselves to aid in securing re-
forms in the state of Washington
which has proved so successful in
Oregon, so successful that the Ore
gonian in recent issue stated
that that state is today the most
democratic and the best gov
erned" OF any state in the union,
and that 1t is now a government
for and by the people"

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The rush
of American millionaires to Europe
for summer sightseeing and travel
Is now at its height and their mum.
Der skaters all previous records.
An average of two steamers Z
day have been departing from this
port for more than three months
laden to their full capacity. A
review Of the passenger lists OF
these departed liners indicates that
more than one-sixth of the vested
wealth of this entire country is
now represented by its chief ad.
ministrators on the continent.
Aside from the millionaires
many thousands of men in all
crafts. from the corner grocer to
the western farmer. together with
their families. are jostlng with
the captains of finance in the great
transatlantic exodus.
Steamship records show that in
four months more than a quarter
of a million persons have taken
passage upon snips bound for Eu-
ropen ports. About one-half are
emigrants, who have accumulated
their pile" and are now off to
their native soil to live in comfort.
The regal magniticence of the
millionaire's summer trip abroad
was exemplified by Rodney Rodman
Wanamaker of Philadelphia, who.
while In London, engaged an entire
floor of the expensive Carlton hotel
for the comfort of himself and
family.
