ARTHUR G. PRITCHARD, CASHIER
FIDELITY TRUST CO., TACO
MA, WASH.

The subject of this sketch, whose
portrait appears herewith, is at tho
head of one of the strongest financial
institutions in the Northwest-the Fl.
deity Trust Co., of Tacoma. Mr.. AR.
thur G. Pritchard is one of the ablest.
most progressive and popular finan.
ciers on the Coast and has fully
earned the distinguished place he
holds among them. The popularity
and rapid development and growth
of the Fidelity Trust Co.'s extensive
business for many years is due large.
ly to Mr.. Pritchard's business acu.
men and faithful devotion to the af.
fairs of the great concern of which he
is cashier.
The Fidelity Trust Co. has a paid.
up capital of 100000, a surplus Of
$4,000 and deposits of 81 600, 900. It's
savings bank department pays per
cent interest semi-annually on depos-
it's.
The remarkably substantial growth
of the Fidelity Trust Co.'S business sug-
gests the leading characteristic of Mr..
Pritchard's business policy. He is
known in financial circles far beyond
the borders of the Pacific Coast as a
conservative, careful and safe finan-
cier. The growth of the City of Des-
tiny is in great measure due to the
and public-spirited bust
ness methods and foresight of such
young stalwarts in the commercial
world as Iar. Arthur Pritchard.
The new age. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1896-1905, 1906-02-17

Wisconsin and Minnesota for many
years, he became so greatly impressed
and delighted with Tacoma and the
region of which it is the commercial
center that he chose it for his per-
manent home, and has ever since
been one of the greatest business fac.
tors in it's development.
Though modest and democratic in
demeanor, and not inclined to boast
of his many successes and prefer
ments, there is perhaps no citizen of
Tacoma who has held so many and
varied positions of trust and respon-
sibility as Mr. Mccormick. He is
every inch the progressive, success
full business man, but he is more than
that; he is a scholar, a student,
man who enjoys and can take lead
ing place in educational affairs and
in society; a man utterly clean,
square, upright and above reproach in
all his methods and transactions; a
man to be trusted implicitly in any
position, private or public, that he
assumes.
Mr.McCormick has indeed had a
wonderfully busy and brilliant career,
one perhaps not paralleled in variety,
scope and success by that of any man
in the Pacific Northwest. He was
born in Pennsylvania on a farm in
lS47, of Irish descent, and attended
school and did farm work till 1861,
when he went into the army, but was
sent home on account of his youth,
and then attended military institute
in Philadelphia. He then studied law
and was for several months in a rail-
way Office, and then became clerk
in a store in Ohio for a year. In 1868
he became cashier of firm of lum-
Der manufacturers in Winona. Mimi.
with which he has ever since been in.
timately associated. On account of
poor health from office confinement,
he opened a retail lumber store at
Wanseka, Mimi, in which he has
since been interested. While at this
place he filed the office of council
man, mayor and state senator. About
1882 he became interested, through
the then president of the c., st. P.

wisconsin, and became secretary and
treasurer of the North Wisconsin
Lumber Co., among his associates be-
Ing F. Weyerhauser, W. H. Laird, M.
G. and ]. L. Norton, A. J. Hayward
and others. The company bought Is
townships of timber land and built
large mill, which it operated till
1902. This company also organized
and conducted the Sawyer County
bank. In 1890 Mr.. Mccormick organ
lied the Northern Grain G Flour Co.,
OF Ashland, Wis, and has been its
secretary and treasurer ever since,
the company having offices in Chi
cago and elevators at Manitowac

Railroads Contractor Talks of New

work 20 miles north of Vancouver.
cit will compare with any roads in the
Atlantic states. Some of the grading
will cost $4,000 mile. There are
two miles, at point II miles north of
Vancouver, where there are no trees to
speak of and no rocks, that will cost
$50, 900 each, but it is all steam shovel
work. 1t is estimated that the sub
contractor, who will work steam
shovel, about 20 men and several teams
of borses, will need at least a year to
complete these two miles.
"The grade of the road from Van
couver to Kennewick will not exceed
two-tenths of per cent, as compared
with 2 per cent grade in the present
line across the mountains. No carve
will be greater than degrees as COM
pared with or degrees in the y. r.

Members Supplied the Cash.

Wenatchee - The Chelan County
Horticultural association held its regu-
lar monthly meeting last week in
Wenatchee. 1t was found the cash on
hand was insufficient to pay the bills
presented this month. To overcome
this about 20 members paid their bills
for one year in advance. The reason
for the many billie is the large expense
incurred in holding the farmers insti-
tute few weeks ago. The society is
in a prosperous condition and the
shortage of cash is only temporary

president of the board of trustees of
the Ashland, Wis, academy, and trus-
tee of the Congregational church
there. He is an eminent member of
the Masonic fraternity, a member of
the Sons of Veterans, Of the Sons of
the American Revolution, Of the So
ciety of the War of 1912, and of the
Minnesota club. He served six years
in the sos as treasurer of Sawyer
county, and was subsequently chair
man of its board of supervisors. He
was delegate to the National Re-
publican conventions of 1880 and 1900.
Mr.. Mccormick in his busy life has
found time to write considerable, hav-
ing written several noted articles and
pamphlets on local educational, bust
ness and historical subjects.
Mr. Mccormick was married in
1870, and there are two surviving
children, his elder son, William Laird
Mccormick. Jr., being a prominent
lawyer and public man of Ashland,
Wis.
What he was for many years In
Wisconsin and Minnesota, Mr.. Nc
Cormick is in Tacoma and Washing
ton-a very active, progressive en-
terprising, useful and model business
man and leading citizen. His chief
interests are now here, and he has
done, is doing and will do, very much
toward building up and advancing the
interests Of this city and region. Mr..
Mccormick has a national as well as
local fame, and his election as may
or would be commented on in sew
eral states of the Union. Mr.. Nc
Cormick has always dealt fairly and
literally with wage-earners, of which
ne has been one; he is liberal to
worthy charities; he is deeply and
zealously interested in education; he
believes thoroughly in good, clean
municipal government; he Is a man
of vast experience in business and
public affairs; he is a man to be thor
oughly trusted in any executive posi-
ton, and would undoubtedly make an
ideal mayor of Tacoma, where his
business interests are now conferred.
Personally Mr.. Mccormick is a
stout, strong, robust, handsome, at
tactive man, who looks several years
younger than he is; he is approach
able and affable; is endowed with
great capacity for work; is clear
headed and in every respect reliable;
and the Republicans of Tacoma GER

ton as their candidate for mayer

CONFER on REAPPORTIONMENT
Gov. Higgins and the Joint Legislative
Committee in Session.

ALBANY, April 25.-Gov. Higgins and
the members Of the joint legislative re-
apportionment committee were in session
for several hours and until after midnight
tonight in the executive chamber consider
ing the proposed reapportionment of the
Senate and Assembly districts. The joint
legislative committee tomorrow afternoon
will meet and formulate the legislative
reapportionment bill, which will be intro
duced in both houses, probably on Friday.
The Oddities are making their fight
in the Senate, but seem to forget hat the
Republican vote in the Senate is sufficiently
large to enable o Higgins to pass his
own plan for reapportionment, which is
framed in the interest OF the party at large
in the State, rather h to bolster up any
discredited political boss in any locality.
The Odell-Halpin apportionment for New
York county ia discredited generally, and
Gov. Higgins can get mis- a~pportionment
plan through the Senate, even If the Odell-
Halpin combination should carry out their
threats to effect a combination with the
Democratic Senators to thwart the Gov
ernor's plans.
After the apportionment plan as desired
by Gov. Higgins and the present manage
ment Of the Republican State organization
becomes a law, the Republican district
leaders in New York city Of the Odell-Halpin
stripe will hear something drop.

THE CHURCH CHORAL SOCIETY.
HoratiO Parker's "Hora NovtssIma" Sung
at the Second Recital.


The second afternoon recital OF the Church
Choral Society took place yesterday In the
Church of Zion and st. Timothy in West
Fifty-seventh street. The music heard con-
sisted of Bach's air from the suite in d,
the chorale, 20 quanta qualia,' Horatio
w. Parker's -Hora Noyissima' and l..
Boellmann's "Fantasie Dialoguee.' for or
chestra and organ. The solo singers were
Eva Emmett Wycoff, soprano; Mrs. Lulu
Cornu, contralto; Cecil James, tenor, and
Ericsson Bushnell, bass. Richard Henry
Warren conducted.
DR.. Parker's @Hora Novissima' was
written for the Church Choral Society and
produced by it on May 8, 1893. Since that
can cities, at the Cincinnati and Worcester
festivals, and at the Worcester and Chester
festivals in England. 1t gave American
music a new standing in the British lsles.
and won for its composer. the degree OF
doctor of music from Cambridge University.
1t wears we'll, as all good music does. 1t
is sincere in conception, sound in scholar
ship, admirable in the wealth OF its details,
and mastery in its Capitalization around
one principal theme Of dignity and beauty.
DR.. Parker has not been idle since he COM
posed this work, but nothing else from his
pen surpasses it in originality and sustained
excellence.
Yesterdays performances was not one
to give new hearers OF the composition an
appreciation of its merits. The s~oloists
were unfortunate in their information in
many places, and the chorus still more so.
The chorus, too, was without balance.
The sopranos produced a weak and hollow
quality Of tone, which was u~nhappily con.
trasted with the valiant p~roclarnations OF
the male choir. The orchestra was too
strong for the vocal forces, and hence many
choral passages were almost obliterated.
All this is the more to be regretted be-
cause, as the a~nnotator of the programme
pertinently pointed out, the need Of such
an organization as the Church Choral So
ciety is greater just now than it has been at
any previous time. The Dismissal from the
service Of the Roman Church of music not
in accord with the elder spirit of the liturgy
has thrown into disuse many noble COM
positions with which the world would not
wish to part.
The Church Choral Society is in a posi-
ton to perform some of these works in
surroundings suited to them. That liber-
atty of view which charaoterizes the Episco-
pal Church will undoubtedly welcome them
10 the repertory Of this organization.
But a higher grade Of artistic effort than
that of yesterday will be essential to an
enjoyment of these works.

Chicaeo Banks Losing Deposits.

CHICAGO, April 2S.-A remarkable loss
in deposits has been experienced by the
banks of Chicago since the last bank call.
The reports made in response to the recent
call revealed conditions on April Q. To-
day one of the larger State banks reported
a loss in deposits in the intervening two
and a half weeks Of 1000, 600.
In proportion to the total deposits held
this loss Is perhaps q little larger than the
average, although a loss Of 81, 1000, 900 was
reported by one Of the big national banks,
while another national institution reported
that Its deposits had fallen off considerably
more than 81 900 900.
AS a result predictions are freely made
that rates will hold firm at present figures
throughout the summer. Most OF the loans
are now made at 9 per cent.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB
OF UHR STATE or NEW Y0RKT0
BE she NEW NAME.

Proposal II 20 Make n q Central nee ting
Place for Democratic VINO Are Weary
or the Diet Of GOcialistio HuGks-Ad
dress to Democratic to ne Prepared.
The members Of the Democratic Club
decided last night to 60 ahead with the
attempt to make its organization the ma
tional headquarters Of the Democratic
party by remaining the dub Inc starting
a movement to draw to 1t leading Demo-
Gratis from all parts Of the country. The
committee appointed to submit recon-
mendations on the proposal presented
it's report to a special meeting Of the club.
The report urged that the time was oppor-
tune for the forming Of q central meeting
place for Democrats who were anxious
that the party should return to O oon-
sentative policy; and that such o national
headquarters as 1t was proposed to create
would bring together the great mass OF
Democrats Of the country who were averee
to dabbling further with radical ideas.
The committee suggested that the club
should be renamed the National Democratic
Club Of the City Of New York. After the
report had been read Samuel Untermyer
called attention to the fact that there were
already in existence in this city
three clubs OF that name. These were clubs
which were formed IN tne seventh, twenty
first and Twenty-eight districts in 1895 to
combat the silver Democrats.
As the club therefore could not a a
single title to the name suggested In the
report it was decided to amend the report
so that the new name Of the club should
be that Of the National Democratic Club
Of the State Of New York. With this al
teration the rep rt was adopted. The
meeting was attended by over 300 men,
beTB, but only four negative votes were
cast and a subsequent resolution to make
the vote unanimous was adopted without
dissent.
Charles F. Murphy, who, although he
had signed the committee report, Is under
stood not to think much of the innovations
was not present at the meeting, nor was
j. Sergeant Cram, his friend, who was
expected to lead an opposition movement.
Only two or three district leaders attended
the meeting. -.
The board of governors was directed
to prepare and distribute an address to the
representative Democrats of the nation
describing the action taken last night and
asking their support to make a success OF
the national club scheme and urging them
to give proof Of their cooperation. to that
end by becoming members Of the club.
