RETURN Of
CONFIDENCE
Events of the Past Week i'm Finan.
Cial Circles Highly Re-
assuring.

New York, Dec. 9.-The events Of
the past week in the financial world
have been such as usually mark the
gradual return of confidence and the
restoration of normal conditions in
the banks.
The declaration of the secretary
of the treasury to issue only about
$4,000, 900 of the $150,00O,00O in
the new securities, which he express
ed a willingness to issue if condi-
tions required, the disclosure of un-
usually strong reserves by country
banks reporting to the controller of
the currency, the decline in the cur
rency premium and the improve
ment of the New York bank state
ment have all been features of the
week which have tended towards
stability and reinsurance.

RESERVOIR

Some time ago the Daily World
printed a news item stating that the
city water reservoir was cleaned out.
Several of our readers have come to
the World within the past few days
in regard to this matter, stating that
there was a mistake in the report,
and asked that it be made right.
Accordingly, a World representa-
tive saw the water commissioner, and
received the following interview:
Eve spent several days at work
on the reservoir. We found from one
to three feet of sand on the bottom.
We took out three-fifths of the sand
cad then quit work.
This sand came down through the
water pipes most of it during the
time when tie washout occurred at
the flume We found nothing of a
filthy. character, nor did we find any
impurities. The sand comes down
through the pipe and always will
continue to do so.
Il do not deem it wise to do any
thing more with it until spring. By
that time we will have the pump run
ming at the Columbia river to help
supply the ci-y with water while the
reservoir is being cleaned.
AT the nresent time, the city is
in danger Of fire, too, when there is
no extra supply for several days.

that 35 out of 1913 were successful
the first time up. Some of these sue
cessful inexperienced applicants have
been up as many as three times be-
fore.
This is the smallest examination in
many years, being little more than
one-half the size of the August ex-
animation. There are various rea-
sons for this-one, the large issue IF
permanent first-grade certificates last
July; second, the power of the coun-
ty superintendent to issue temporary
certificates for a year, and the power
of superintendents in cities of 10000
to do the same, and last, by far the
most important reason, there was 4
greater percentage of successful ap-
plicants in August than formerly.

Horticulture. County Com
missioner Will be Asked
to Advance Money.

l am sincerely sorry that this mat
ter has developed in this way, but
am pOwerless to do otherwise than
to comply with these orders. In the
meantime, will you please explain the
matter to your board of county COM
missioners, and see if they will, at
least for time, guarantee to pay
for this service. The counties have
to bear this expense anyway, as your
salaries are charged to the counties
to reimburse the state. The condi-

in regard to the states advancing
this money, and later collecting it
from the counties. Please explain to
the county commissioners and see if
this work can be pursued without in

Kindly acknowledge receipt of this

About Final Proofs .

A great many people have the mis-.
taken idea hat no more proof on land
can ic offered at this time. Proof may
be made now a. before the recent rul-
ing the only difference being hat the
government does n accept the fees or
payment on land. After a proof has
been made the papers in the case are
forwarded to Woodward, and some
time after the papers in each cas-
reach that office an inspector will come
QUO and make a personal examination
of the land and if he finds that the
person offering the proc! complied
with The law, the applicant is then
notified To send in the purchase price
of the land together with other neces-
sary fees, and upon receipt Of said fees
a final receipt il issued from the
Woodward office. There is reason To
believe ma more or less delay will re-
suit in getting inspectors into this
part of the country aud at this time we
are unable to inform those who have
made proof (or contemplate doing so,)
when an Inspector will make the
rounds aud the Woodward land Office
has not set gwen u such information
and perhaps that office is not informed
in regard to inspcctors.-Guymon Her
