PIXIES PEAK CELEBRATION
IT HAS BEEN FIXED FOR SEP
TEMPER $500 NEXT.
The Centenary of the Discovery of
the Peak by Capt. ZebuIon VI.
Pike To he Duly Celebrated.


Washington, D. C.--Vice-Chair-
man Wray of the Colorado Springs
(Col.) association, which is preparing
to celebrate the centenary of the discov-
evry of Pixies Peak by Zebulon M.
Pike, has made arrangements with the
authorities here for a liberal represen-
tation of the government on the occa-
sion.
AS Capt. Pike made his expedition to
the Rocky mountains under the aus
pices of the army, of which he was at
the time an oficer, a large detachment
OF troops will be detailed to attend and
participate in the exercises. The date
for the celebration has been fixed for
September 1929, and as it will imme-
diately follow the annual maneuversy at
Fort Riley, the troops will be sent di-
rectly from that point. The exact
number has not been determined, but
Mr.. Wray is of the opinion that there
will be several thousand of them. Com
missioner Leupp, of the Indian bureau,
has also promised that the various
tribes OF Indians that inhabited the re-
gion of the peak at the time of Pixies
visit in 1906, shall be represented by
liberal delegations. These will include
Utes, C%heyennes, Arapahoes, Comanches
and others. Mr.. Wray has also re-
ceived assurances that copies of Pixies
manuscript reports on his expedition
will be supplied, and he expects to Sc
cure reproductions of the army uniform
used in Pixies time and also models Of
the modern warships, the Colorado and
the Denver.

JOHN r. WALSH ARRESTED
to the Comptroller and
Ing Banks Funds to Own Use.

Chicago.-John r. Walsh. who was
president of the defunct Chicago IA
tional bank which closed its doors
December 10, 1905, was, Friday, taken
into custody on a federal warrant
which charges him with violation Of
the national banking laws in makiag
false returns to the comptroller OF the
currency, and also asserts tbst he
converted to his own use, without
proper authority, funds of the bank
amounting to $4,000, 900. He was re-
leased after giving bonds of $50, 900.
The complaint alleges in specific
terms that. on November IL, 1905, the
Chicago national bank transmitted to
the comptroller of the currency a
statement of the financial condition
of the bank at the close of business
on November 8. In this statement
'the said John r. Walsh unlawfully
made certain false entries, to the ef-
feet that at the close of business on
the 9th day of November the amount
of loans and discounts of the said bank
ing association on which the officers
and directors thereof were then table,
either as payer or indorser, was $245,-
900, whereas in truth the amount Of
such loans and discounts was 49,
900, 900; and another raise entry to the
effect that the amount of loans and
discounts Of the association on which
the officers and directors were not
liable, payers or indorsers, was $10,'
658,226. Whereas in truth the amount
of such loans and discounts OF which
officers and directors were not liable
was much smaller, namely s 1850, 900"

SPRING TRADE
An Optimistic Feeling Peryades
business Circles and Heavy Build
ing Operations Anticipated.

New York.-Bradstreet's regular
weekly review says:
Favorable features still largely pre-
dominate. Country buyers are more in
evidence than at any previous time this
year and have bought literally. Win
ter wheat crop reports are as good as
ever, and the probability that a gen
eral coal strike may be avoided after
all lends strength to industry of all
kinds. 1t is true there is rather o
conservatism displayed by buyers for
the more distant future and prices Of
some commodities are being shaded,
but it is apparently regarded as certain
that an enormous spring business will
be done, that building will approximate,
if not surpass last years huge totals,
and that crop and trade developments
of the future will take care of next
seasons trade.

TREES HIS ONLY MONUMENT
Walnut and Pecan Trees the only
Monument to Mark the Grave
of Former Gov. HOgE.

Houston, Tex.-Deciduous trees are
the only monument that will mark the
grave of former Gov. Hogg at Austin.
Monday morning the body lying in
state in the reception room of the
state capitol, was viewed by thousands.
The funeral took place in the afternoon.
Interment was made by the side of his
wife.
In accordance with a request made
by the ex-governor several months ago,
when he was thought to be dying in
Fort Worth, the only monument that
will mark the grave will be pecan and
walnut trees, one planted at the head
and the other at the foot of the grave.
1t was the dying wish of the deceased
that the people of Texas might come
and gather nuts from the trees for
planting in other localities.

1t is perhaps not an overestimate
OF the value of the salt industry in
the state Of Kansas to say that no
other industry in the state has saved
the whole people of the state as much
money as the manufacture of salt.
When Kansas salt was first put on the
market Is years ago, eastern salt was
selling at an average price Of about
So per barrel. In Is years there has
been manufactured and consumed in
Kansas alone, approximately, $780,
900 barrels Of salt. 1t is very con-
sentative to estimate that the price
has been reduced at least 81 per
barrel.
