The financial situation has remained
rather accute all the week. While the
banks of the country have mot exactly
suspended specie payment, yet none of
them give out dollar in money.if they
can help it. In all large eastern cities
people and factory operatives
have been paid in checks, usually in
small denominations from IS upwards
with the exception that they'be accept
ed by the merchants and trade people.
A letter from re}abivessays that,is the
way that nearly all business is being
done there this week. Nearer home the
grain markets hsye been practically
closed for want Of naoney. .All,the. time
the daily papers have been saying that
tomorrow or in few, days things would
loosen up, but they still remain. tight.
1t is expected however that the ship.
ments of gold from Europe nowhere OF
on the way will help to start'the wheels
moving. However, under the circum.
stances there have beenveryfew failures
of banks or other business houses. II
there had been many such failuresit is
probable that every bank lntthe country
would have suspended specie payments
and many of them would have refused
to pay out money of any kind, until the
strigency was, over.

There's limit to the size of the big

liAait Yf the depth of the harbors. The
Ibsitania is now too big for Liverpool
decks and there are not more than thre g
or four harbors on our Atlantic coast
that she can enter. This fact also limits
the size of the big battle ships. While
the passenger steamers can run regular
ly into the deeper harbors, the battle
ship that can only lie outside of the
harbors, will be at great disadvantage
in time of war. When a vessel has a
draft of 30 feet or over, it must hunt its
way carefully even in getting into New
York.

The talk about whether the state or
the general government shall govern
the interstate lines of railways
makes US think of the old story
of the little boy and his mother who
owned the household cat jointly, and
agreed that the front part of the cat
should be long to the mother and the,
latter part to the boy. One day soon
after the division Of the common pro-
perty, the mother heard the cat mewing
in apparent pain in an adjoining room.
"Willie" said the mother "what are
you doing to my part of the cat?" ooh,
mother I didn't touch your part, but I
stepped on the tail of my part and your

are afraid state regulation will always
make ''the other part holler."

Arranging for Champlain Celebration.
At the meeting of the commission
on the Lake Champlain Tercenten-
NAL celebration, to be held on Lake
Champlsin in 1909 In honor of the
discovery of that body of water, held
in Burlington Saturday afternoon,
Governor Proctor acting as chairman
of the commission, appointed COM
mittee consisting of Prof. w. Z. How
ard of Middlebury and w. H. Crock
EFT OF st. Adams, to visit Albany and
ask the New York legislature to APP
point a commission similar to the
Vermont commission, to confer with
it in regard to the celebration. A
committee consisting of Horace w.
Bailey and L. NJ. Hays was also APP
pointed to visit Ottawa and present
the same matter before Parliament,
looking toward the appointment of a
third commission. Governor Proctor
will probably accompany Professor
Howard and Mr.. Crockett to Albany.
The event will probably begin July A.
"Hi-Lo" Taxes.
A comparison of the tax rates of the
various towns and cities of Vermont
this year notwithstanding food for
speculation as to why some are so
high and others so low. In commu-
mites where those paying poll taxes
only are in great majority, high tax
brings the greater revenue and low
appraisal lets out the property own
ers. The state tax, which is certain
per cent of the grand list, can be
materially cut down also by low ap-
praisal and the town or city adopting
this method can collect just as much
revenue for its own expenses by vot-
ing a high tax rate. Howsoever, this
does not prove that the four towns
whose tax rates are over SO have any
ulteri motive or that they make
their appraisals lower than those that
have tax rates of less than 81. The
high and low tax rate towns fol-
low: Landgrove, $3.50; Jamaica, So

HOSTING DEVICES.
Machinery That Was Used In Building
thu Pyramids.

InS ' yFamlCS.
Hosting machines We're used in both
AsSyria and Egypt G,0O0 or more years
ago. In order to hoist the great
stones of the pyramids some form of
derrick was employed. Probably the
first construction was that which is
now known to mechanics as the shear
legs. This is made Of two great tim
bers tied together in the form of a
capital \, the two ends resting on the
ground and rope being run over and
attached at the top.
With one of these the pyramid build
ers could have raised large stones step
by step. which was doubtless their
method. We can imagine we see the
great A frame leaning over an incline
Of perhaps fifty degrees with a block
of stone tied on. Then a great crowd
of men get hold of the rope on the
opposite side, perhaps assisted by some
draft oxen, and all strain and pull until
the A frame stands erect and the stone
is swung up into the air. where it can
be pushed into the desired place.
Such a continuance could be used to
lift stones six or eight feet. which was
sufficient for the construction of the
first pyramid. Doubtless better hoist
ing devices were constructed as more
pyramids were built-Circle Magazine.

NAMES or FLOWERS.
Where Some of Them Come From and
What They Mean.

IL is interesting to know how certain
flowers received their names. Many
were named after people. For in
stance. the fuchsias were so called be-
cause they were discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. -)ahlias were named for
Andre Dahl who first brought them
from Peru. Ihe camellia received its
name from missionary named Ka-
mel, who carried specimens of this
flower from Japan to France. The
magnolia was named in honor of Mag
mol de Montpelier Other flower names
are descriptive. Lady's slipper resem-
bles q tiny slipper. The blossoms of
lady's tresses are twisted like a braid
of hair. The flowers of the foxglove
are like the fingers of a glove. The
name fOxglove is said to be a corrup-
ton Of folks glove" or ''fairy's glove"
Aster means star and received its name
from the starlke rays of this flower.
Daisy is really days eye" Dandelion
means lions tooth. Do you think the
name is appropriate for this notched,
rather jagged flower?
Anemone means wind flower" The
anemOne is so uelicately poised that it
trembles in the slightest breeze.
Dutchman's breeches resemble nothing
so much as a baggy pair of trousers.

PROSPEROUS RANCHERS OF HAY
COUNTRY PURCHASE HOMES
IN GARDEN CITY.

John Chandler recently OF Hay,
Washington, was in Walla Walla last
week and purchased a tract of land in
the Ennis addition east of the city
where he will erect a fine residence and
make his home in the future. His
brother VIM Chandler. already owns
a home adjoining the tract secured by
John Chandler.
The moving of these gentlemen to
WaIla Walla recalls an incident in the
progress of the northwest demonstrate
ing the opportunities offered in this
western country for the rapid accumu-

years ago the Chandler brothers, to-
gether with a number of other people.
some of whom are now well known
citizens of Walla Walla, located on
land in the Hay country. That section
was undeveloped and prospects did not
appear rosy for the future. The major
ity of the settlers gave up the struggle
and abandoned their land or sold for
practically nothing. The Chandler
brothers remained and developed their
land as best they could under the cir
cumstances.

WILL REFLECT ANKENY
GEORGE H. BAKER CREDITED
WITH BEING OUT ON CAM
PAIGN TRIP.

Is Marshall George H. Baker, 'the
man who will re-elect Levi Ankeny?'
That's what he is credited with be-
ing at North Yakima, Congressman
Jones' town.
United States Marshal G. H. Ba-
ker is here from Spokane and will be
in the city for several days." says the
Yakima Democrat. Mr.. Baker is popu-
larly credited with being the man who
will defeat Wesley L. Jones for sena-
tor and re-elect Levi Ankeny-if he can
and his foray into the 'enemy's coun-
try is therefore a matter of some hote
aside from the fact that he is here on
business. He had nothing to say for
publication. In fact, he never YET has
had anything of that kind to say. The
marshal is not much given to CONVEX
sation. He is a genial, comparable
man, but when it comes to making a
noise-well, Sheriff John Edwards is a
boiler factory alongside of him.
He has many friends among the
old-timers who are always glad to see
him when he comes to town.'-Spokane

brothers prospered with the country

that section and are among the
wealthy farmers of the state.

are now in position to enjoy life IL

off. And so with the boy during his
maturing day. Unless his environment
is such as to allow his surplus energy
an opportunity to be utilized as it de-
velops, i. will burst forth at certain
intervals and the question is whether
that energy will be exerted for the
good or for the bad. In the larger cities,
where conditions are such that the
street is the only home known to
thousands of boys they cannot work
off this surplus energy and their lives
become cramped."
Such is the philosophy of Jacob Riis,
the famous reformer who is to speak
to Spokane people this week.
Mr.. Riis advocates the establishment
of clubs for boys, not where they can
spend their time in idleness, but where
they will be surrounded by homelike
influences and where they can avail
themselves of educational Opportuni-
ties. In the city of New York, he
states, there are at least $4,000 tru-
ants, who are being reared in idleness
and profligacy and whose character
will be nodded in accordance with the
environment and influence with which
in the future they are surrounded
