States treasurer.
What then was the situation?
Knowing ones began to see the adj
vantage of engaging in business
that ostensibly was backed by the
assets and credit of Uncle Sam and
the amount of capitalization from
minimum of $4,000 was reduced to
$4,000 (and under) to popularize the
preferred financial plan of the usur-
pers and satisfy the small fry and
enable them to further entrench them
selves and fatten off the earnings of
all industry, until banks with $4,000
(and under) capital borrowing all
the money in the smaller commune
ties, in amount several times their
own investment centralized and ele-
waited the servant money" as
medium of exchange to the position
of dominant master over the real
values whose necessities created it.
1t is no exception as the reports on
file and published at more or less
regular intervals at the call of the
comptroller of the treasury show that
these specially favored individual
parts of the whole system have bor-
rowed not twenty-five nor fifty per-
cent, but several hundred times, in
many instances, and scarcely ever
less than ten and more usually twen-
ty times their respective capitailiza-
tons issuing therefore their simple
unsecured promises to pay in the
form of certificates of deposit at the
lowest rate of interest they can per-
suade the unthinking, saving, pro-
ducing citizen to loan it to them at
and inducing the acceptance of this
rate by arguments as to the safety
of our institution that pays the lowest
rate over the one that offers a fair
err division of the profits. Nowhere
in any of the referred to statements
is any showing made of the expenses
of conducting the business and dis
closing the salaries paid to the Of
icers. They simply say, "less ex-
penses and taxes paid" Cutting off
both ends, the minimum and maxi
mum so that my structures may not be
criticized as exaggerating the I'M
fairness, | select banks with capital
ization of $4,000 and the analysis
will amply elucidate the point in
view. First-It has $4,000 capital

Ramey ridge is taking on new
life again. The Dewey mill is
running full blast, and a lO.stamp

Have Fine Little Plant,

Few people realize the fact
that we have within forty miles of
here one of the best equipped saw
mills OF the smaller class in the
country. We refer to the plant of
the Forest Lumber Co., of Forest.
This company at the present time
has in the neighborhood of l AGO.
600 feet of lumber of all kinds in
the yard and is constantly adding
to the supply, thus always assur.
ing plenty of stock. Moulding
and finishing lumber of all kinds
is manufactured as we'll as tim
bers and other kinds of lumber.
An eastern company has closed a
contract for large amount of the
product of the mill and several
weeks ago Spokane parties con-
tracted for enough lumber to as
sure the continuance of the oper-
alton OF the mill to the very limit.
The Forest people always keep
their grades up to the highest
and material purchased
here for a certain grade never
falls below. One great draw back
the company has had to contend
with is the lack Of transportation
and the cost of getting logs to the
mill and the manufactured product
to market but it is expected
that this disadvantage will be
overcome as 80 horsepower road
engine has been purchased aud
will haul 10000 feet of lum Der at
a trip, thus reducing the transpor-
tation charges to a reasonable
figure.

Plenty of Money in Cattle.

Cattle raising is great industry
in this county and the money
brought into the community
through this source is something
immense. In the east car load
shipments are boasted of but out
here in Idaho county nothing short
OF train load is considered worthy
Of mention. All summer long cat
tie have been shipped to the east
ern and coast markets by the train
load from Sites.
This week Bales & Jones make
. shipment Of train load of stuff
from Sites and every few weeks
that amount of stock has been sent
out by the firm during the past
several months.
c. lander, buyer for the firm
OF Fryer Bruhm, Seattle packers,
was in town the first of the week
on his wsy out from Whitebird
where he has been for the past
two weeks picking up stock for
his firm. He reports the purchase
OF q train load to 90 out about
the first of the month. This
means in the neighborhood of
$25, 900 will be paid by that firm
alone for this one shipment. Cat
tie can nowhere be grown cheaper
than right in this county and the
grade of stock is bred up to a
higher standard than any place in
the west. Cattlemen are fast be-
coming rich in Idaho county and
the money sent in to pay for stock
has been q great factor in making
the present prosperity for which
the county is noted.

WAY TO GET BUSINESS.

The trade territory of q town
can be pretty accurately measured
by the enterprise of it's business
men. Live tradesmen reach far
out beyond the natural territory
Of q community and make expenses
and a snug profit in fields neglected
by neighboring competitors. The
day has passed when profitable bus
mess will come to a merchant who
lacks in inclination or ability to
let the public know that he is an
xious for trade. and has bargains
to offer. Did you ever consider the
enormous amount of business a
town acquires by extending its
trade territory one mile in each
direction? It's worth thinking
about. Good roads, hospitality
and entertainment will do much
to accomplish this end, but the
main thing is honest marks, reas-
enable prices and liberal advertis-
ing. In some manner the public
must be appraised that it's pres
ence is desired, its dollars are ap-
preciated. People will travel
extra miles to be met with smile
and feel confident they are getting
square deal on what they buy
and sell, and that they are not
averse to be being enlightened
to the place where such conditions
exist,

through this city last week on his

PUBLIC OPINION AND Lee
GAL TECHNICALITIES.

A mob in New Orleans made one
sensible condition to back the law.
1t was that "no lawyer would in.
terpose technical objections" In.
cidentally they practically exacted
pledge that the man would be
convicted, which was, of course,
wrong, though it worked no un.
just hardship in this case, since
the man really was guilty. But
the demand for no technical OBJ
structions was actually sensible,
something that can rarely be said
of the action of any mob, says the
Fresno Republican.
It is not practicable, nor would
it be desirable, to capture every
prisoner and hold him in the hands
Of vigilance committee until the
lawyers make pledge not to de-
fend him on any ground except
that he "did not do it," No sort
Of mob rule is tolerable, even to
squelch the lawyers. But public
opinion can, in perfectly definite
and at the same time perfectly legit-
innate way, accomplish the same
purpose. All that is needed is that
standard of public honor which is
enforced by law in the army and
navy, and ought to he enforced by
general consent among gentlemen
everywhere-that man against
whose honor aspersions have been
made shall himself insist on trial
that shall 60 to the bottom OF the
question. When charges affecting
the honor of military officer are
made, even in the most informal
way, it is his duty to demand Q

court in every possible way TO find
out the whole truth. If he is gull
ty, of course he does not do it.
Then everybody assumes him gull
ty, and If it happens to be matter
in which no other trial or other
direct punishment is available, he
is simply "put into Coventry

studiously courteous and formal to

Society has it in its power to do
the same thing to every civilian

ing his personal honor, evades a
trial which would clearly show
whether or not he did that wrong.

for instance, have the legal right to

the bride was given. But they
have the right to hold up their
heads among their fellow men only
by showing that they did not give

WILL AVOID LITIGATION.
Government Settlers Number of I'M
portant Matters in Philippines.

Washington.-An agreement has
been reached between the secretary of
war and the representatives of the
Catholic church in the Philippines re-
garding a number of important mat
ters of controversy which will obviate
the necessity of prolonging threaten
inging and vexatious litigations.
Regarding the landed properties, the
agreement provides that the Roman
Catholic church, through the arch
bishop of Manila, shall possess abso-
lutte title to the land and property per-
tanning to the hospital of San Jose, the
hospital of San Juan de Dios, the col
lege of Santa Isabella These proper
ties are valued at $2,06e,0O0 The
church relinquishes to the govern
ment of the Philippines all claims and
demands upon the estate of Santa Po-
tenciana and upon the hospital and
foundation of Santa Lazzio, except
that the archbishop is to retain DOS
session of the block in which the pres
ent Santa Cruz cemetery is situated.
The Spanish-Filipino bank dispute
also was settled, by which all claims
to the exclusive privileges and TO note
issues beyond the amount approved by
the American government are aban-
doned, but upon the other hand the
bank receives the confirmation with
out litigation and important privileges

Two Shots Fired at FalliereS,
But the Aim of the AS
sassin Was Bad.
Excited Crowds Prevented From
Lynchng the Man After His Ar
rest.-Prisoner Declares He is
the Victim of Many Viii
Ianies.

Paris.-The national fete on Sun
day was marred by a dastardly at
tempt on the life of President Fal-
Heres by Leon Maille, naval reser-
visit of Havre who, it is believed, is
suffering from the mania of persecu-
ton. Maille fired two shots at the
president, but did not hit him. He
was at once placed under arrest.
The landeau in which the president,
Premier Clemenceau and the presi-
dents secretary were seated had ar
rived at the corner of Leseur street
when, from the curb the would-be as
sassin fired in quick succession two
shots point blank at the president.
Miraculously no one was hit. Presi-
dent Fallieres was cool and collected
when the cortege stopped. The diplo-
mats who were following the presi-
dents carriage alighted from their
carriage and hurried to the side of M.
Fallieres.
Finding that nobody had been in
jured, by the presidents orders, the
cortege moved on. In the meantime
two policemen seized Maille, who
made no resistance, but the police
with difficulty prevented the irate
crowds from lynching the prisoner UNI
til a Gordon of reserves came up and
conducted him to the station. There
Maille refused to give any reasons
for his act, saying:
"The revelations I have are so
grave and serious that I will only
make them before a magistrate for
transmission to the chief Of state. 1t
is matter between the government
and me. l am the victim of many vii
lainies."

the Japanese-American situation
which he declares to be more absorb

The correspondent says that as ro
suit of his inquiries he learns the sit
uatiOn is really strained. althouyb
both governments are trying to con.
ceal the fact. He asserts that since
June 20 the question has entered upon
an acute phase. Japan has been send
ing the United States extremely cate
gorical notes stating without bitter
ness but in the clearest terms the di.
lena that unless Washington is able
to control California, Japan will con-
slider herself free to act directly
against California. Nothing, however
yet has been exchanged precluding a
pacific settlement, but many of the
Japanese at The Hague are of the
opinion that the Japanese government
ought to act without delay and not
give America time to utilize her vast
resources and economic potentiality, a
hundred fold greater than Japan's, to
perfect warlike preparations.
