SHARP STOCK DECLINE
Break BeieUed To Be Due to San
Francisco Disaster.

sharp break occurred in the stock market
in the late trading yesterday as the elimination
of q declining tendency which had prevailed
during the day. and prices of several stocks sank
to the low level of the year. The weakness was
attributable to variety of causes, of which
was uneaslness over the condition of of
the fire insurance companies which have been
heavy losers by the fire in San Francisco. Then,
too, 1t was believed that much of the days SELL
ing represented the liquidation of securities
holdings by fire companies for the purpose of
obtaining funds with which to meet the heavy
indemnity claims to be made upon them from
the devastated city, and that the total of such
selling would release a volume of securities so
great as to test severely the absorptive capacity
of the market. To the liquidation movement
was added in the afternoon extensive selling for
the short account which accelerated the DOWN
ward progress of prices, and probably also some
of the pools threw overheard part of their hold
ings.

STILL WANT MORE DIVIDENDS.
Wells-Fargo Losses in San Francisco Do Not
Deter Osgruntled Stockholders.

The movement started few weeks ago by large
stockholders IN Wells Fargo Co. to secure an
increase IN the annual dividend from to l6 per
cent is not 10 be abandoned as a consequence OF
losses which the company may have suffered in the
San Francisco catastrophe. Walter c. Stokes &
Co. leaders of the movement, yesterday issued the
following statement:
There is absolutely truth in the report that
Walter g. Stokes & Co have abandoned their ef-
forts 10 force the Wells-Fargo management to
make liberal distribution of its earnings TO
the stockholders. AS they represent 10
per of the stockholders. they feel certain OF
accomplishing their purpose at the annual meeting
IN August. The small loss suffered by the company
in the San Francisco fire can have effect and in
no way changes the basis of their contention.

81. Petersburg April 23-Instead of frankly

Condition of Idaho Banks.

State Bank Commissioner Love
land has made report on the con-
dition of all the banks in Idaho on
and encouraging document. There
are 80 state, private and savings
banks and trust companies, and 80
national banks in the state The
totals of the statement show pros
porous condition of the banking in
stitutions, although this is not the
time of year when deposits are g. n
orally the largest. In the spring
there are generally lower DEPOSITS
and heavier loans. 1t is interesting
to note that about 81 per cent of
the total deposits are Immediately
available. Tine national banks
make a better showing comparative
ly than do the state banks, and the
majority of them are much older
institutions than the other banks.
More than 20 of the state banks
commenced business within the last
year. The total deposits of both the
national and state banks on April g
of this year were $40, 924, 227. 43
and the total resources we're $27,-
! 032, 263.o3, of which $14, $50, =

private banks. The total loans of
all the banks amount to the fine
sum of SIS, 731, 241.15, while there

The way the thing looks to a
man up tree, is that thes defense
in the Meyer Haywood case fears
that the prosecution has too much
political influence with the court
at Caldwell for the permanent well
fare of the accused, and is therefore
trying to equalize this handicap by
distributing tons of literature calcu-
lated to prejudice possible jurors in
favor of the defendants. In either
case the trial will not be on the
square and change of venue ought
to be taken.

UNCLE SAM WILL SELL
Town LOTS All AUCTION

Your Uncle Samuel hath three
towns to sell The same will be
put up at auction at a date soon
to be announced! Irrigation
Oasis town lots All ready to
blossom like the rose. -
1t is something entirely new
1t was made legal by an act of
congress approved April 10, 1906
Towns laid out in the new irriga-
ton projects may now be sold at
auction. And, in the same act,
the government is given the right
to furnish, under lease, unlimited
power to private individuals for
manufacturing purposes. The first
auction will occur in few weeks.
Three towns are to be put up for
sale, and they are out in Idaho on
the Snake river. They have come
into existence within the past IL
months. A year ago there was
nothing there but sand, sage brush,
coyotes and rattlesnakes. There
was not a habitation within 30
miles. Now there are banks,
stores, school houses and churches.
All is due to the magic of govern
ment irrigation.
The towns are Hepburn, Scher-
rer and Rupert.
On the map look for the southern
boundary of Idaho. Bordering this
line and just about the middle of it
is Lincoln county. In the southeast
corner of the county is the Minido-
ka irrigation project, which con-
sists il reclaiming 1870, 900 acres of
desert by damming the Snake rive r
and diverting the water to the
lands. The three towns have sprung
up along the newly built railroad.
The latest census shows that no
less than 1000 people are now set
tied on the irrigation tract. But
the people on the irrigation town
sites are there merely by sufferance.
The same is true of the buildings.
There are 1872 business houses, two
banks, three newspapers and q
school, which opened with 20 pu-
pills. But not a foot of town land
has yet passed from the government
possession. The people have taker
their chances in making improve
ments.
Plans are now being made for the
auction, when FOR spot cash Uncle

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
ROOSEVELT, THE SHATTERED
IDOL.

President Rooscvelt's erstwhile
admirers, both democrats and re-
publicans, who had been led to hope
By his continued brave talk, that he
would effect some much needed re-
forms in the administration of this
government of ours; that he sim
cerely intended to clip the claws,
pull the fangs of the republics most
dangerous menace, the trusts and
other powerful combinations of
predatory wealth, have of late
feared that he was attempting too
much; to use common expression,
had bitten off more than he could
chew. He has repeatedly failed to
make good. The Beef trust gave
him terrific jolt. He met with
signal defeat on the statehood bill
and the Philippine tariff measure.
He has won a technical victory in
the suit brouhgt against the Paper
trust, but has accomplished no ma
tcrial good.
Friends of the president have per-
sstcntly chung to the hope that he
would deliver the goods in the case
of the railroad rate bill, and now
they have been disappointed in that
quarter also. Their idol has been
shattered, as we'll. Senators Till
man and Bailey, in open session
Monday, accused him of bad faith,
and effcctually punctured his lofty
claims to patriotism. 1t seems that
these two democratic senator's had
agreed to deliver enough of their
party votes to pass the bill, the
president agreeing to stand pat on
certain provisions. The most inn
portant of these were that the
courts should be allowed to review
the action of the Interstate Com
mcrcc commission on two points
only, that of the authority of the
commission and the constitutionality
of its action, and to include pro-
vision forbidding the issuance OF
intcrlocutory injunctions. Instead
of abiding by this promise, he has
approved of amendments that an
null both of these provisions and
cmasculates the measure-a virtual
surrender to the rail roads.
To the charges made by Senators
Tillman and Bailey, the president
has replied at wearying length, anc
had his attorney general supple.

as long and equally as indirect ano
cvasive. Neither meet the issue
squarely; both dodge repeatedly anc
