IN CONGRESS-
HOUSE.

The-EHly appointed house com mittee on banking and currency held its first meeting Wednesday, spending two and one-half hours in discuss ing the currency question in several of it's phases. At the conclusion oi the meeting several of the members stated that as a result of the confer ence the members of the committee were now nearer together than they ever had been before, notwithstanding the same men-with the exception Of three-composed the committee dur ing the F'ifty-ninth congress.
 The only definite action taken at this initial meeting was the authoriz- ing from the chair of the appointment of a subcommittee of five to draft and submit a currency bill to correct the present financial situation. There will be no hearings before the convention until the subcommittee has finished it's task, and the completed draft is in the hands of the chairman.
 The recurrence of two phases of the currency question marked the confer ence These were: The creation of elasticity in the currency, and the depositing of reserve balances in na- tional banks. The committee was ap- parently agreed that it will sanction no move to increase the bulk of pa- per money, but will confine itself to 2 the consideration of the best means of injecting elasticity. The plan of providing for the issuance of national bank credit notes, which can be in stantly drawn into circulation when general condition require an in- creased currency, and retirement as promptly as when the need has passed, was presented and discussed at some length.
 The action of the house committee on banking and currency at its first meeting was in line with the we'll known purpose of Speaker Cannon and the house leaders to make every show of earnest effort to get currency legislation, and, at the same time. make the least haste possible. The purpose in the house is to put the issue ID to the senate. The members of the lower body are carefully trying to create the impression in the coun- try that they are ready to act, but will not put bill through to be emas- culated, and, perhaps, talked to death in the senate.
 Scores of currency relief bills al- ready have been cast into the basket on the speakers desk and have been referred to the committee. Chairman Fowler was authorized to appoint a committee of five to go through the various bills, select and reject fea- lures and suggest committee bill.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou- ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great CT strength than other makes.

With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt waist just as we'll at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use Starch that does not stick to the iron

Hunts Cure has saved more people from the "Old Scratch" than any other known agent, simply because it makes scratching entirely unnecessary. One application relieves any form of itch ing skin disease that ever afflicted mankind. One box guaranteed to cure any one case.

Walla Walla Feb. 7.-ESorbitant
prices which the farmers along the
proposed line. of the Dayton-Wallula
Traction company or Columbia &
Walla Walla company, demanded for
their land has caused the practical
abandonment of the original route Sc
lected. The directors of the road are
now planning on running the road
through another section of the coun-
try, where the prices will not be so
high.
General Manager ]. H. Morrow of
the c. & w. w. said today that it was
fact that the high prices being asked
had caused the practical abandon
ment of the route near Dayton, but
that he could not say just where the
road would run, as that was still un-
decided.
According to word from Dayton, as
soon as this report was spread, del
egation of farmers at once met with
Captain NJ. r. Hanger, one of the di-
rectors, with the object of arranging
a new route, to pass UP Milestone
Hollow to Turner, 12 miles north of
Dayton, and connect with the Graves
line in Whitman county.
An offer of 100000, it is claimed
was made to the promoters of the line
to have the road constructed along
the above route. If this is done it is
claimed that there will be electric
communication from Coeur d'Alene
| City, Idaho, to Wallula, Wash, as the
road from Coeur d'Alene runs to Spo-
kane and the Spokane & Inland is
now building to the Palouse country,
where the latest report says, the C.
& w. w. will be connected.

EA holiday on the calendar depenas HVmore for its charm upon tradition and H the customs handed down from genera ton to generation than does that fateful night of mirth and mystery-Hallowe'e en. Most of our American holidays com memorate historic events within the past century and a half and consequently can not, of course have any of the charac- teristics of ancient ceremonial. Even Christmas has, in it's observance, been modernized out of all semblance of the old-time celebration. Halloween, how ever, not only retains its time me-honored significance and long-established ritual but finds its chief attraction in these re- minders of bygone periods
 The festival of the night of October 31 has a number of different designations, though none are so commonly used as Halloween. The others are All Hallow Even, Nutcrack Night and Snapapple Night, the latter two being derived Of course from practices associated with the occasion. Halloween derives It's most common name as the eve or vigil of All Saints or All Hallows Day (No- vember D. From time out of mind this has been heralded as night when witches devils and other mischief mak- Ing beings go abroad on their baneful midnight errands. By a strange coinci- dence, however, this same night is sup posed to be devoted by the fairies to grand anniversary celebration.
 The traditions of Halloween also teach that on no other night in the twelve month do such supernatural influences prevail as after dark on the final day of October. According to ancient beliefs the spirits of the dead then wander about and in some instances the spirits of living per sons have conferred upon them the tenn porary power to join the ghostly clan. Persons who have had the good fortune to be born on october 31 are especially likely to be warned or advised by the elves on each recurring anniversary of
