BANKERS GETTING WISE.
They See Danger in the Mail-Order
System of Business.

1t is only lately that bankers of the
the mail-order system of business has
been a serious injury to them, killing
off the business of their towns, taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
gress.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed to consider
the buying-goods-awa away-from-home evil
as anything of particular concern to
them When Farmer Smith would
buy a draft for $50 or 500 to send
to Chicago. the banker got Ills ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead, while the facts re-
manned that if he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 of the farmer for the banker
might make dollar or two OF profit.
1t was only when the catalogue
houses started in to solicit deposits OF
the people of country towns and farm
ing communities that the bankers
took a tumble.
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea of their position in
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families,
and set bad example before the peo-
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way of staples
and luxuries. Bankers are conserva.
tive; and are not forward in making
suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money,
but in this matter it appears sufficient.
ly important to justify the exercise of
what influence the banker can com.
mand in behalf of home patronage. 1t
is the business of the town and sur
rounding country that affords profit
to the bank The greater this volume
of business can be made the better
for the banker and every interest OF
the town, and the farmers and other
laborers as we'll.

system of subways for City Pipes and
Wires.

European cities are making great
headway In the construction of sub
ways beneath the streets to contain
not only electric wires for light, pow
er and communication, but also for
the gas and water pipes. In London
subway for these utilities is now
built whenever new street is au-
thorized. Some of the London sub
ways are as large as seven feet high
by IL feet wide; there are already
seven miles of these pipe subways.
In Manchester the subway has now
reached a length of 1886 feet, and is
used exclusively for electric wires,
which are contained in pipes carried
on iron buckets fastened to the walls.
The cost was $39 per linear foot
Other cities where the system has
been Quilt are Leeds, Nottingham and
ST. Helens. The construction is paid
for by the city, which charges an an
nual rental from the service COM
panies, which more than pays the in
terest on the cost. These annual
charges are based on the diameter of
the pipe, ranging from so cents for
three-inch diameter or less up to
$3.50 for 36-inch per foot for water or
gas. For other companies the rate
is much higher, being $3.50 for three
inch pipes and $50 for 1S-inch per
500 feet. The freedom from leaks in
