BANKS ISSUE
CASHIER CHECKS
Are Backed by Actual Cash in
Their Vaults

curious depositors anxious as to the
welfare of their funds and the cause
of the action taken by the banks.
The flood of checks which each month
is thrown into the banks of Spokane
after laboring men of large railways
and construction projects are paid
of has been the principal source Of
difficulty in making cash payments.
Hundreds Of thousands of dollars are
each month paid to railway men by
the banks on deposits made by drafts
of contractors, the actual money be-
ing deposited in institutions of the
east and middle west. The issuing
of cashiers checks will in a measure
force railway contractors to draw
funds from eastern institutions and
ship them west for payment of their
employees.

G. Nj. Trigg, of State Line, was
in the city last evening on business
connected with the con struetion of
the Heutter bridge, intended to span
the Spokane river about three miles
below Occur d'Alene. Mr.. Trigg is
one of the commissioners of the coun-
ty who recently let the contract to
the Carscallen brothers foT the erec-
tion of this bridge. Before the con-
tract was let the commissioners
secured donations from ranchers
ageregating about $1,000 to be con-
tributed in cash aud construction
material, the larger donations be-
ing cash
The commissioner states that the
Ianchers are ready TO fulfill their
part of the contract as soon as they
could get the material on the ground.
About 5000 to their donations are to
be in timbers foI pilings. The Car
scallen brothers will begin active
construction as soon as the piling
arrives on the ground which the
ranchers will begin to haul tomor-
row.
Heretofore these settlers were al
most cut of from the rest OF the
world, compelling them to reach the
city over a very rough road by way
of the b. r. Lewis mill, requiring
them to cross the Spokane river
bridge at the Fort grounds. But the
greatest inconvenience was in con-
nection with school advantages. At
no time could the children ford the
stream, compelling their parents to
take them across the river in skin,

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE
Banker Gives Explanation or
the Situation.

A man Of experience and a student
Of finances. Rufus jackson, cashier
of the First National bank Of this
city, gives the Press his views OF the
present situation as follows:
THE financial situation aside from
the recent New York furry is ex-
planned in this way: During the
summer months or the times in which
a very little of the productions of
the country are being marketed the
general flow OF cash Is into the banks
of every town and hamlet OF the
country. These in turn send this
money to their correspondents in the
larger towns for their credit to draw
drafts against, and they to the cities
or money centers Of the country, so
that at the time of year before the
new crop comes to the market the
banks in the money centers are full
OF cash. The fall of the year comes
on with bountiful crop and every
body has something to sell which
makes a demand for more money.
As the productions Of the season
come to market the local banks furn-
ish the buyer with cash, drawing on
their correspondents in the smaller
cities and they in turn on their cor
respondents in the larger cities. or
money centers, which causes great
flow Of money to the country which
goes into the producers hands and
pockets. This Is the present situa-
tion and New York, the great money
center of the United States, or we
might say, of North America, finds
herself running low on cash aud she
says to Chicago, we can't ship you
any more currency until the situation
let's up Chicago says the same TO
the Twin Cities, Omaha, Kansas
City, st. Louis and they to the cities
of the west.
''This puts Spokane in the posi-
tlon, that she must deny all the banks
Of the Inland Empire that cluster
around her as their financial center.
AS to the banks of Occur d'Alene they
were never in better condition than
at the present time, all having un
hand large reserves and ample cash
to conduct the business of the town
and surrounding country under any
ordinary circumstances; but with
Spokane refusing to cash their checks

Spokane, WASH, Oct. 30.--Cash-
ier's checks to The amount of $780,
900 we're issued this morning from
the associated banks of the city,
which yesterday voted to marguerite
the system of putting these checks
into circulation instead of meeting
in cash the face value of individual
checks presented for payment. The
checks, which we're printed last night
are made payable to bearer and are Of
81, 81, So and $40 denominations.
Banks which are members of the
clearing house association will thus
handle their local business.
''The move taken by banks in issu-
ing cashiers checks made payable to
bearer, is an outgrowth of the plan
instituted yesterday by Issuing these
checks payable to order or to an in
dividual. Their time limit is in
definite. They will be accepted by
all merchants and business men of
the city the same as currency, the
object being to keep money in the
banks rather than have it taken out
and sent out of the country" said
W. D. Vincent, cashier Of the Old
National bank and president of the
Washington State Bankers associa-
ton.
NO WILDCAT CURRENCY.
wildcat currency will in this
case not be issued, the checks being
orders for amounts on deposit in the
different banks. In panic days in
years past money could not be Sc
cured because of there being no credit
to back checks issued. In this case
we have the money on deposit, and
after eastern banks have been tided
over we will receive amounts due
US, and cashiers checks will be called
in. When the checks are returned
to as through the clearing house
new ones are issued when Necessary.
When presented by deposition they
are treated as so much money and
added to the holders account.
''This method has been adoped as
further protection of the interests
of depositors and the bank itself.
If all money on deposit was drawn
out the country would be subjected
to financial difficulties such as pre-
vailed in 1898. Bankers are taking
moves to prevent repetition. Should
a check for $50 be presented to a
bank the holder will be given several
dollars in cash and cashiers checks
to cover the balance. A limit has
necessarily been placed on the amount
of cash given on any check"
A feeling of secruity among bus
mess men was in evidence after a
thorough knowledge of the plan had
been gained. Bank cashiers were
besieged during banking hours by

PUPILS PLANTED
TREES YESTERDAY

= The third Arbor day celebra ton in
this Territory was that of yesterday.
The day is being observed this year in
all the schools of the Territory, though
owing to the fact that in schools it
was understood that the first Friday
instead of the third Friday in Novem-
Der was the day, some schools cele-
brated the day two weeks ago.
The prizes that were awarded last
year are handed down this year from
one grade to the next or where the
prize was considered prize of the
school it is still so held. Trees are be-
ing planted at every school house in
the Islands. The trees have been
supplied either directly by the gov
eminent nursery or through the Board
of Education.
superintendent Babbitt says that the
influence and sentiment of Arbor day
is effective throughout the Territory
and has proved most excellent. 1t has
developed a splendid spirit among the
pupils and every school yard in the
Territory shows the effects of this
spirit
In Honolulu there We're observances
appropriate for the day at nearly ev-
cry school, and at some of them there
were quite elaborate ceremonies.
Among those where much was made
of the day was the High School, the
Kaahumanu School and the Kaiulani
School.
