THE MAN WHO SHOUTS

High up in the Sierras, at Bridge
port, in Mono county, a man named
Montrose publishes a newspaper. In
spite of the dreariness of his sur
roundings, he manages to put an en-
thusiasm that would put others more
favorably situated to shame.
Situated many miles from the rail-
road, showed in half the time, and
with nothing in sight to enthuse over,
Re is forever shouting about Mono
county, touting it up as the greatest
pace on earth.
The people of Humboldt county can
learn a lesson from this man. In this
county we have all that can be desir-
cd in the way Of natural advantages,
end yet we have to be coaxed to shout
for our country and then it is done
in a half hearted way. We have every
thing in the world to enthuse us; let
us take our cue from Montrose of Mo
no, and shout for Humboldt county.
In reply to some who criticised his
ardor, the Mono editor says:
"When the sun forgets to shine and
the roses cease to bloom;
When the world has passed forever, all
is silent as the tomb;
Then will we forget our duty, and in
silence pass away,
But till then weTl shout for Mono.
Dare you stop us in our wayg'

Grain Supply Encouraging.

The Wall Street Journal says: The
American markets are much better
supplied with visible grain than at
any time in the last four years, for
this season of the year. The visible
supply is higher by 100000 bushels
than in 1906, 100000 bushels higher
than in 1905 and 100000 bushels
above the visible supply of 1904.
Judging from this supply, the country
could readily increase it's exports of
wheat, corn and oats to the point Of
$5000,000 a week, provided traffic ia
cilities were such as to bring the
product to the seaboard.

explosion occurred.
train on the narrow gauge railway
to the Pilares mine in some way
caught fire. In the train were two
open cars loaded with explosives, and
the fact that the concentration and a
good part of the town of Nacozari was
saved from ruins was due to the
bravery of the Mexican engineer of
the train, Jesus Garcia Realizing
that to cut out the burning cars and
escape on the engine would expose the
town to probable destruction, he called
to the rest of the crew to jump and
started to run the train away from the
town. He had taken it about a half
mile when the explosion occurred, and
he was blown to atoms. 1t is reported
that another member of the crew stay
ed with him and was killed. The heavy
death list is due to the fact that the
explosion occurred just as the trail

THE NORTHWEST is ALL RIGHT.
Crops Are Bound to Bring Money to
the Country.


The financial situation of Chicago
and the northwest is mainly matter
Of unlocking. That is to say, the or
binary facilities for commerce and the
transactions of banking business have
been curtailed by the shortage of cur
rency. The bankers are taking steps
to return to the normal conditions
They did not consider it safe yet, how.
ever, to begin the payment of cur
rency money whenever demanded, and
checks on the clearing house for small
amounts are now in preparation, to
be used as currency money
1t is almost certain that these checks
will be issued this week and several
million dollars of them will then be
available. But meanwhile the Golfers
of the banks and the pockets of indiv-
iduals have been somewhat replenish-
ed by the Importation of over $6,000,-
900 Of gold, and the deposits of the
United States government in national
banks have been increased several
millions. Seemingly, it is a question
of a few weeks at the longest when
money will be freely in circulation.
There is no manner of doubt that
the northwest is richer now than ever
before, not merely in fixed assets, but
in Immediately available capital. AS a
small illustration it may be mentioned
that the shipments of wheat and flour
for 10 weeks of the crop year amount
ed to S2,S53,000 bushels, against g.
100000 bushels for the corresponding
period last year, and the amount Of
money received for this product is
much greater per unit than last year
1t is to be assumed that shipments
from this time on will be less active
than heretofore, because the supply OF
currency is small and many of the
farmers refuse to accept checks. This
very fact, however, shows that the
producing class is financially strong
enough to sell when they get ready
The country banks have more cur
rency than ordinarily at this time of
the year, but are holding it for fear
it will be boarded by individuals if
paid out. The excess of shipments of
currency over receipts in Chicago dur
ing October was S24,711, $40, against
$16,765 200 the corresponding month
last year.

The surprise of the evening was the
quick victory scored by Chester
Brown of Seattle, the crack welter-
weight boxer, for he knocked out Jack
Walsh of the Multnomah club in
minute and 81 seconds of the first
round.
Ed Johnson, Multnomah's heavy
weight boxer scored a victory by
clearly earning the decision over Sam
Peck of Seattle in their three-round
bout
Idaho's varsity eleven, supposed to
be easy for the Washington State col
lege, Friday afternoon sprung a big
surprise and defeated their opponents
5 to 4, before the largest crowd that
ever saw a football game on the Idaho
field. Idaho worked the forward pass
successfully in the first half and sent
Savidge over for a touchdown, goal
being missed. In the second half
Washington rushed the ball near
enough for Hardy to kick a goal from
the 30-yard line. Idaho won on it's
merits. It's lighter team was the more
aggressive, its defense was magnif-
cent. the generalship of the quarter
back, Rodney Small, was superb, the
team pulled together as one man. there
was never a moments relaxation in
that desperate fighting spirit, and in
the end the husky eleven from Wash

BANkERSAT Meeting
INLAND empire FINANCIERS
AT SPOKANE, SUNDAY.
One Hundred and Sixty-one Present
Railroads Will Be Appealed to So
Crops Can Be Moved to Coast and
Shipped to Foreign Ports, Thereby
Getting the actual Money in Return.

AT the Inland Empire bankers con-
vention at Spokane Sunday to discuss
the general financial situation and its
special relation to the movement of
the vast wheat crop, general con-
fidence was expressed by the 161 rep
resentatives of the banks of eastern
Washington, Idaho and Montana who
were present in the ability of their in
stitution to meet the situation.
At the conclusion of the conference
the following statement was given out
by E. T. Conan, vice president of the
Exchange National bank, and d. w.
Twohy, president of the Old National
bank, both of Spokane, who represent
ed the special committee chosen to re-
port on the situation:
THE banking situation throughout
the Inland Empire was thoroughly dis
cussed for more than two hours in
the general assembly The visiting
bankers then unanimously decided to
appoint a committee composed of one
member from each county and district
in the Inland Empire to meet with the
Spokane Clearing House association
and determine what, if any, action
should be taken. This committee and
the Clearing House association gave
the matter careful consideration and
decided that the situation is as salts
factory as could possibly be expected
and did not, at this time, call for any
essential departure from existing
banking methods.
1--WE find that the situation among
the country bankers is very satisfac-
tory, all of them having large amounts
of loans secured by merchandise,
wheat and lumber in transit AS soon
as the currency situation is sufficient
ly relieved the worst of the difficulties
will be over.
Eve find that the only way to ac-
cumulate credit balances in the prin-
cipal exchange centers is by the con-
version of commodities into cash. To
accomplish this on a large scale will
require several weeks and perhaps
months on account of the present linn
tied facilities for transportation.
This desired movement of crops
will be greatly aided by the action of
the state railroad commission, which
will endeavor to arrange with the rail
roads for the most prompt shipment
of grain to fill the ships which are at
tidewater awaiting cargoes ]. c. Law
renee, state railroad commissioner, ad-
vised the assembled bankers that
such an effort is now being made.
The situation all over eastern Wash
ington and northern Idaho is improv-
ing and it is only a question of time
until there will be a gradual liquida-
ton of the obligations due the banks,
when they will be enabled to again
resume business under normal condi-
tions.
"The country banks seem well sup
piled with cash resources and the only
difficulty they have had was in con-
verting grain bills into credits with
the Coast cities. From reports made
to the meetings this difficulty will
soon be removed and they will be able
to secure such credit"

SUPERIOR Big fire
LOSS OF PROPERTY AMOUNTS
NEARLY Three MILLION.
Thousands of Bushels of Wheat, Grain
Elevators and Flour Mills Go Up in
Smoke-Origin of Fire Unknown
Fully Covered by nsurance-DuIuth
Sent Her Fire Department to Help.

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 10.-Fire of I'M
known origin has destroyed the Great
Northern elevator ga" in Superior, to-
gether with 100000 bushels of grain,
principally wheat, all of which was
fully covered by insurance. The ele-
vator was owned by the Great North
ern railroad, but was leased to the A.
d. Thompson company of Duluth. The
sparks soon ignited the Grand Repub-
lie mill on Tower bay slip, the Great
Lakes Dredge and Dock companys
dock and the Duluth-Superior Storage
company's building, which contained
the finishing plant of the Webster
Chair company.
The fire started at the southwest
corner of the elevator dock. An alarm
was turned in and four fire tugs res
ponded but owing to the intense heat
they were driven out of the slip and
devoted their energies to saving the
adjoining property.
The steamers W. A. Parent and w.
A. Rogers were in the slip loading
wheat and the latter was to take out
100000 bushels of wheat Immediately.
The steamers Utica, Alva and Chilli
were on the opposite side of the slip
at a merchandise dock and were pulled
out by tugs to save them from destruc-
ton. The Globe elevator, owned by
the Peavy company, was on fire, and
for a time it looked as if it would go,
but the fremen succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames. lie blaze al
so extended to the sawmill property
of the Priton, Kimball & Barber COM
pany, but this likewise was extinguish-
ed before serious damage was done.
The combined departments of Duluth
and Superior fought the fire. The
property destroyed is as follows: One
Great Northern elevator, Mankato
-four mill, Grand Republic mill and
elevator, Commander mill and eleva-
tor, 20 dwellings and several small
warehouses lining the bay front. The
flames had communicated to the st.
Paul and Western Coal company's
dock and the Office of the shipbuilding
company was destroyed. 1t is now es-
timated that the damage may reach
81, SOC, 900.
Later Report.
The loss is estimated at 100000
One man who entered the plant of
the Duluth-Superior Storage company
to rescue a tool chest, was not seen
again and is thought to have persisted
in the flames.
The total loss is figured at $2,26S.-
900, including about three-fourths of
a million in wheat. The losses are:
Great Northern elevator "a" and
power house, $1,2500OO; Grand Repub-
lie mill, $150,000; Freeman mill and
elevator and Mankato mill and eleva-
tor, 100000, Webster Manufacturing
company, 100000; Republic elevator
and contents, $225,O00; Great Lakes
Dredge & Docking company, $4,000;
Great Northern merchandise docks.
500 Whitney Brothers, marine
contractors, 1000; Superior Ship
building company, 100000; small
dwelling houses, $4,000.
All concerned excepting Whitney
Brothers had insurance covering a
large proportion of their losses.
