Shopping As Insanity Cure;

In the stores the patients and attend

thousands of other women bent on the

The patients sought the usual haunts
Of bargain hunters and purchased with
a keen regard TO appearance and value
Just as their normal sisters were doing
all about them. Apparently the sales
women noted nothing ulSlsual in the
demeanor Of these custome1s.
Several of the patients were impressed
by the novelty of a moving stairway IN
one store. Some, timid at first, became
frequent passengers on the escalatOr
and left the store grudginSly.
The joke Of leaving oSders with the
numerous Santa Clauses they encoun-

Districts Birthday;
119 Years Since
Bill Was Signed

The District Of Columbia is 11s years
old today. There was no formal cele-
bration at the District building, how
ever, the Commissioners being too busily
engaged IN winding up the affairs OF the
year, and the clerks in checking UP their
Christmas presents and in wondering
how they are going TO get by until next
pay day.
The District came into legal existence
December 3, 17Ss. when the governor of
Maryland placed his signature upon the
bill ceding a portion Of that State TO the
National Government. The bill locating
the Capital in the District was formally
signed by President Washington July
16, $780, and by this act a seven years
struggle as 10 where the seat OF Cow
ernment should be located, was ended.
Congress assumed formal Jurisdiction
over the District February q, 1901.

new LUMBER Rates
LUMBERMEN EXPECT AN EARLY
HEARING OF CASE.
Interstate Commerce Commission
will Be Asked to Advance the Case
on the Calendar. Big Meetina of
Lumbermen Called for Next Wed.
neSday at Seattle.

SEATTLE, Nov. 2.-Leading lum-
bermen are not discouraged by the
report from Washington that there
has arisen in the minds of the mem-
bers OF the interstate commerce COM
missioners doubt as to whether
that body has the power to deter
mine the reasonableness or unreason-
ableness of rate under the new rail-
road rate law before that rate is ac-
tually put into effect. 1t is held By
the lumbermen that the new lumber
rate on Eastern shipments is now in
effect and that the commission has
the power to call for testimony as to
the reasonableness of that rate.
Referring to the question raised ia
Washington, Victor H. Beckman, Sec
retary of the Pacific Coast Lumbe:
Manufacturers Association, said yes.
terday afternoon:
"The new SO cent rate is in opera
tion and is perfectly legal after Nov.
ember 1. The injunction of the
court does not effect the legality ot
the new rate which theoretically be-
comes effective so far as the actual
parties to the complaint are concern
ed, and actually becomes operative
as far as those not parties to the
complaint are concerned.
"The courts order does not in any
way affect the rate itself, for such
questions can only be determined by
the interstate commerce commission
This brings the whole matter legally
before the interstate commerce COM
mission for final determination"
Attorneys for the lumbermen are
preparing the complaint to be filed
with the interstate commerce COM
mission and it is probable that it will
be ready some time this week. The
attorneys do not believe that the
case even under the most favorable
circumstances can be set for hearing
before the middle Of December and
that it will be at least the first of
February before final decision is
rendered by the interstate commerce
commission.
The meeting of lumber and shingle
manufacturers to be held next We'd
nesday in Elks' hall in the Alaska
building, is expected to be the largest
and most representative gathering of
it's kind ever held in the Northwest.

Of 1t, and thus throw the correspond
ent banks into panic. The next was
to startle the country by the most
heroic discharge of men and by stop
ping all classes of railroad and other
work, no matter how near to COM
pletion.
And everybody was scared sure
enough. Each one was inclined to
feel that he was nearing the jump
ing-off place. He couldn't tell what
was going to happen and so he
wanted all his money in a lump. The
day before he had confidence in
everything and everybody, but just
because of this manufactured Wall
street panic engineered with skill
and cleverness, he simply hasn't faith
in anything or anybody. Could any.
thing be more ridiculous or make
clearer how short after all is the dis
tance we have travelled in the line
of practical common-sense education
Take the banks of the city under
the best of conditions and they could
be forced at any time by a stampede
to close their doors. If they do bus
mess they must have a certain pro-
portion of their deposits out at in
terest. But how senseless it would
have been a week ago to have started
any trouble. We all know the re-
sources back of these banks. If
there Is value in anything, their re-
sources are enormous and far away
beyond the total of their liabilities.
Now what are the people of this town
going to do about it? Are they 60
ing to be sane and reasonable, ex-
pecting fair show themselves and
giving everyone a fair show, or are
they going to help along the Wall
street panic and bring about that
desperate condition of affairs which
the buccaneers of finance so much
desire?
The Telegram's guess is that they
are going to be sane and reasonable; +;
that they realize that this is the time
to conserve our institutions rather
than do thing to tear them down,
and that involved in the outcome is
not small group of citizens, whether
they be bankers or otherwise, but
absolutely all the people from top to
bottom, every man jack of them. The
business in front of us is everybody S
business, and everybody has a stake
in it. Then let us all act together.
Let us remember that all the re-
sources of yesterday are still with us,
will here remain, and that they can
not be taken away. Let us all feel
our individual responsibility to the
community as we'll as to each other,
and, facing the conditions like men,
pull this situation together during
the coming week and put it where it
rightly belongs, upon precisely as
firm basis as it occupied just one
week ago by the clock.-Portland

Isn't it queer state of affairs that
one day everybody should be we'll to
do and prosperous and the very next
be dead broke, or at least rate him
self SO, with the crops, prospects and
all the other conditions precisely the
same as they were? Is it possible that,
Notwithstanding our wealth ac-
tual and potential, the experience
we have had and the standing
accorded us in the world of commerce
and finance, there is no more sta
bility in our national financial insti-
tutions than this?
For an unusually long period the
country has been actually gorged
with prosperity. The crops have been
enormous and the prices, strange to
say, have been going higher and
higher. If the producer had been
permitted to make conditions to suit
him he couldn't have done so WE'LL
In the face of this prosperity mort
cages have disappeared, betterments
have been made and money has been
accumulated. In no other section of
the country were the people so gen.
orally prosperous as here.
Then in one day the stocks began
to tumble in New York, just as they
had tumbled dozen times before
since the era of prosperity has set in.
No one then cared a baubee where
the stocks want or how they tumbled.
The producers of the West were in
comfortable condition; they owed no
one, and the panic, such as it was,
confined itself to Wall street. 1t
looked as though the people were
learning something. But in this par
ticular case the screw was pressed
little further. The banks of the
country were encouraged by attrac-
tive rates of interest to send their
balances to New York. Under these
conditions enormous sums were ac-
cumulated there. Then the New York
banks simply declined to let go of
any of it to their correspondents in
the interior, and in one moment and
with one fell swOop we were precip-
itated from the heights of prosperity
to the depths of despair.
Thus stated and dissected, doesn't
it seem rather ridiculous that Amer
lean men of nerve and red blood and
experience should permit themselves
to be stampeded in moment? The
money belonging to the rest of the
country and now in New York has
not been destroyed. 1t is still there,
every dollar of it, and it is precise
ly as safe as it ever was. In the
course of time it will come back here
again, but not just now.
This is a plain and simple story of
the actual conditions. Were they
brought about or did they simply
occur? The Telegram's judgment is
that they were brought about. Con-
ditions were rapidly getting away
from the control of Wall street. This
young giant which we call the West
was standing on it's own feet, and,
left alone, would in the nature of
things soon begin to dictate. He
had to be curbed, and the ordinary
Wall street panic had absolutely no
effect upon him. The first move then
was to attract huge sums of money
to New York by Offering particularly
good rates Of interest and giving gov
ernment bonds as security. The next
was to refuse to let go of a dollar
