SITUATION NOT NEARLY SO BAD
AS FIRST THOUGHT
COMPANIES ENTIRELY SOLVENT
And Difficulties Will Prove to Be
Only Temporary

New York, Oct 25-Another nerve,
racking day has passed, but the fn-
ancial institutions of New York
have shown extraordinary power Of
resistance to the pressure put upon
them. While it is true that several
minor institutions have been forced
to close their doors, yet two things
should be said about them first, that
the amount invoived was not so great
as TO exert any marked influence ON
the general situation, as these banks
were located in residential quarters
and did not come into touch with
the larger financial institutions of the
metropolis; and second that there Ia
every reason to believe that these
banks and trust companies are en-
tirely solvent and their difficulties
will prove to be only temporary, and
due entirely to inability to secure
ready cash on >--e gilt edged securi-
ties in their vaults.
In the --ght of the general excite
ment the savings banks thought Ii
wise to put into effect the rule re-.
quiring thirty to sixty days notice for
the withdrawal of deposits, and this
will prevent the withdrawal of money
which would otherwise be put in safe
ty deposit boxes. The savings banks.
II they continued to make payments.
would be obliged to withdraw funds
from the national banks, thereby
causing an additional strain on the
general banklng situation. There
was not the slightest hint that any
of the savings institutions was In any
thing but the soundest condition and
it was pointed out that the savings
banks of this state are so restricted
by law in investing their money that
there can be no question that all OF
the securities in their possession are
of good value and readily salable in
normal times.

NORTHWEST NEWS
SAYS FIGURES ARE NOT FAIR
JUDGE MCGEE SCORES STATES
COMPARISONS OF RAILROAD
EARNINGS.

St. Paul, Sept. 8.-Judge j. F. Nc
Gee Of Minneapolis, who represents
the stockholders Of the 500 road in
the preliminary motion which is now
being argued in the rate cases in tho
United States circuit court, said yes
terday that it was not fair for the
states statisticians to base their cal
culations of what the roads could earn
under the new passenger rate law on
the results obtained during two
months OF the prosperous year Of
1907, as in sc doing they overlook the
fact that hard times will come again.
Judge MCGEE explained that Mr..
Yapp took the receipts from passenger
traffic for May and June, 1907, and in
stead of comparing them with the re-
ceipts for the corresponding months
Of 1906, he stock the total receipts
from such traffic for 1906 and divided
it by six. The fallacy of this compari-
son, said Mr.. MCGEE lies in the fact
that it assumes that May and June,
1906, were only average months.
The actual fact, said Mr.. McGee, as
shown by the reports of conductors
and station agents, is that the re-
celpts from passenger traffic on the
500 road fer May and June, 1906, were
81, 900 more than the amount obtained
by Mr.. Yapp's process of getting at
the figures.

LIVE STOCK DAY A SUCCESS
BIG CROWD TURNS OUT - CIVIL
WAR VETERANS GUESTS OF

St. Paul, Sept. 6. - Live stock and
dairy day recorded another great sue
less at the 1907 Minnesota state fair.
It is the day to which visitors from
the country look forward, and they
turned out in large numbers. While
reports from various sources are that
there has not been quite as much trav-
ell from outside points as in former
years, the attendance at the fair does
not show it. The weather yesterday
was not favorable to the success OF
the fair.
The grounds took on a military as
pect toward noon. Survivors of Min
nesota regiments which participated
in the great strife went out and held
a grand reunion. President B. F. Mel
son of the agricultural society deliv'
cred the address Of welcome. D.. w

half Of the state.

Chameleons can be kept alive for
years by making a frame to fit over a
plant in a f1owerpot and covering it
with mosquito netting, which must be
long enough to tie with a string about
the pot. Keep the pot in the sunniest
window and water the plant every day
through the netting. You will be sur
prised to see how eagerly the little
creatures will drink the running water
after they get over their fear. Set a

liberate under the netting. The cham
eleons will not be backward about
