THE NORTHWEST ALL RIGHT.
Crops Are Bound to Bring Money to
the Country.

the Country
The financial situation of Chicago
and the northwest is mainly matter
of unlocking. That is to say, the or
binary facilities for commerce and the
transactions of banking business have
been curtailed by the shortage of cur
rency. The bankers are taking steps
to return to the normal conditions.
They did not consider 1t safe yet, how
ever, to begin the payment of cur
rency money whenever demanded, and
checks on the clearing house for small
amounts are now in preparation, to
he used as currency money.
1t is almost certain that these checks
will be issued this week and several
million dollars of them will then be
available. But meanwhile the Golfers
of the banks and the pockets of indiv-
iduals have been somewhat replenish-
ed by the importation of over $6,000.-
900 of gold. and the deposits of the
United States government in national
banks have been increased several
millions. Seemingly, it is a question
Of a few weeks at the longest when
money will be freely in circulation.
There is no manner of doubt that
the northwest is richer now than ever
before, not merely in fixed assets, but
in Immediately available capital AS q
small illustration it may be mentioned
that the shipments of wheat and -four
for 10 weeks Of the crop year amount
ed to 82.S53,000 bushels, against g.
100000 bushels for the corresponding
period last year, and the amount o.
money received for this product 3
much greater per unit than last year
1t is to be assumed that shipments
from this time on will be less active
than heretofore, because the supply @
currency is small and many of the
farmers refuse to accept checks. Thi
very fact, however, shows that the
producing class is financially strong
enough to sell when they get ready
The country banks have more cur
rency than ordinarily at this time OF
the year. but are holding it for fear
1t will be boarded by individuals if
paid out. The excess of shipments of
currency over receipts in Chicago dur
ing October was $24,711,510, against
$16,765,000 the corresponding month
last year.

Money for Inland Empire.

The announcement that the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway will
send in currency at the rate of prob
ably s1,000,000 a month to meet the
pay rolls on its extension through
Washington and Idaho is one of the
best assurances that could be given
that no anxiety need be entertained in
regard to the general financial situa-
ton. Putting this large amount OF
money into circulation in the north
west will materially aid in loosening
the stringency and win have de-
cidedly beneficial effect on the whole
community.

VOLCANO RAZES PEAKS.
BogosIav Island Is Transformed by
Disturbance

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE remark
able transformation that has occurred
in the topography of Bogoslav island,
Alaska, as the result of volcanic dis
turbances, is told in a report received
at the treasury department from
Lieutenant B. H. Camden, command
ing the revenue cutter McCu1loch. Re
garding the subsistence of McCulloch
peak, reported in recent dispatches, the
report says that the peak had entirely
disappeared and that astonishing
changes occurred in the profiles in
the neighboring peaks, whose outlines
had been softened to a general sym
metry by a padding of lava dust
that almost disguised them beyond
recognition, while the sand pit on the
peaks had attained a height varying
from 20 to 100 feet"

SPORTING NOTES.


L. c. Hull Of Brazenose college, a
Rhodes scholar from Michigan, has
again been successful in field athletics.
He won the 100-yard dash easily, in
10%.
Twelve to eight and all field goals
was the result Of the football game
Friday at Walla Walla In which Whit
man eliminated the University of
Washington from the championship
map.
1t was an even break between Multi
nomah and Seattle in the first inter
club boxing and wrestling champion
ship series which were inaugurated in
Portland Friday night. Seattle, Port
land and Spokane are entered in the
tournament.
The surprise of the evening was the
quick victory scored by Chester
Brown of Seattle. the crack welter-
weight boxer, for he knocked out Jack
Walsh Of the Multnomah club in 1
minute and 81 seconds of the first
round.
Ed Johnson, Multnomah's heavy
weight boxer, scored a victory by
clearly earning the decision over Sam
Peck of Seattle in their three-round
bout.
Idaho's varsity eleven, supposed to
be easy for the Washington State col
lege, Friday afternoon sprung a big
surprise and defeated their opponents
to 4, before the largest crowd that
ever saw a football game on the Idaho
field. Idaho worked the forward pass
successfully in the first half and sent
Savidge over for a touchdown, goal
being missed. In the second half
Washington rushed the ball near
enough for Hardy to kick a goal from
the 30-yard line. Idaho won on its
merits. It's lighter team was the more
aggressive, its defense was magnifi-
cent, the generalship of the quarter.
back, Rodney Small, was superb, the
team pulled together as one man, there
was never a moments relaxation in
that desperate fighting spirit, and in
the end the husky eleven from Wash
ington State college was out-gamed
and played to standstill.

ATTACKS TITLED CLASS.
"Truth" Hands Our Constitution a
Bouquet.

Bouquet.
London periodicals don't hand bou-
quets to American institutions often
enough to become tiresome, but the
current issue of Truth has one for the
United States constitution.
Truth has been publishing a series
of articles bitterly attacking the Brit
ish aristocracy under the caption,
Tainted Honesty"
1t compliments the trainers of the
American constitution for seeing that
the comforting of titles of dignity and
honor, even if not hereditary, led to
the creation of spurious order with
out a standard of merit, to the raising
of artificial distinctions between men
and man and to the corruption of pub
lie life by an appeal to the sordid and
unworthy.
Americans have been better for
their action" the paper continues. I'm
the United Kingdom the abuse has
continued to the present day. Under
a monarchical constitution it is prob
ably impossible to get rid of the sys-
tenn or to prevent it's abuse, but at
least we can rid ourselves of the most
mischievous and indefensible incidents
still attached to it.
1--WE can put an end to the associa-
lions of legislative rights with the
empty and so often tainted honors of
a title and the intolerable anomaly of
the transmission of such a right by
hereditary descent"

BANkERSATMEEIING
INLAND EMPIRE FINANClERs
AT SPOKANE, SUNDAY.
One Hundred and slxty-one Present
-RaIlroado VIII Be Appealed to So
Crops Can Be Moved to Coast and
Shipped to Foreign Ports, Thereby
Getting the actual Money in Return.

At the Inland Empire bankers con-
vention at Spokane Sunday to discuss
the general financial situation and its
special relation to the movement of
the vast wheat crop, general con-
fidence was expressed by the ISL req
resentatives of the banks of eastern
Washington, Idaho and Montana who
were present in the ability of their in
stitution to meet the situation.
At the conclusion of the conference
the following statement was given out
by e. T. Conan, vice president of the
Exchange National bank, and d. w.
Twohy, president of the Old National
bank, both of Spokane, who represent
ed the special committee chosen to re-
port on the situation:
THE banking situation throughout
the Inland Empire was thoroughly dis
cussed for more than two hours in
the general assembly. The visiting
bankers then unanimously decided to
appoint a committee composed of one
member from each county and district
in the Inland Empire to meet with the
OpOhdHS I1OuoG dSSOCldllOu
and determine what, if any, action
should be taken. This committee and
the Clearing House association gave
the matter careful consideration and
decided that the situation is as salts
factory as could possibly be expected
and did not, at this time, call for any
essential departure from existing
banking methods.
1--WE find that the situation among
the country bankers is very satisfac-
tory, all of them having large amounts
of loans secured by merchandise,
wheat and lumber in transit. AS soon
as the currency situation is sufficient
ly relieved the worst of the difficulties
will be over.
1--WE find that the only way to ac-
cumulate credit balances in the prin-
cipal exchange centers is by the con-
version of commodities into cash. To
accomplish this on large scale will
require several weeks and perhaps
months on account of the present linn
tied facilities for transportation.
This desired movement of crops
will be greatly aided by the action of
the state railroad commission, which
will endeavor to arrange with the rail-
roads for the most prompt shipment
of grain to fill the ships which are at
tidewater awaiting cargoes. ]. G. Law
renee, state railroad commissioner adj
vised the assembled bankers that
such an effort is now being made
The situation all over eastern Wash
ington and northern Idaho is improv-
ing and it is only a question of time
until there will be a gradual liquida-
ton of the obligations due the banks,
when they will be enabled to again
resume business under normal condi-
tions.
"The country banks seem we'll sup
piled with cash resources and the only
difficulty they have had was III con-
verting grain bills into credits with
the Coast cities. From reports made
to the meetings this difficulty will
soon be removed and they will be able
to secure such credit"

known origin has destroyed the Great
Northern elevator "a" in Superior. to-
.gether with 100000 bushels of grain,
principally wheat, all of which was
fully covered by insurance. The ele-
vator was owned by the Great North
'ern railroad, but was leased to the A.
ID. Thompson company Of Duluth. The
sparks soon ignited the Grand Repub-
lie mill on Tower bay slip, the Great
Lakes Dredge and Dock company's
dock and the Duluth-Superior Storage

Chair company.
The fire started at the southwest
corner of the elevator dock An alarm
was turned in and four fire tugs res
pended, but owing to the intense heat
they were driven out of the slip and
devoted their energies to saving the
adjoining property.
The steamers w. A. Parent and w
A. Rogers we're in the slip loading
wheat and the latter was to take out
5000 bushels of wheat Immediately
The steamers Utica, Alva and Chill
were on the opposite side of the slip
at merchandise dock and were pulled
out by tugs to save them from destruc-
tion. The Globe elevator, owned by
the Peavy company, was on fire, and
for time it looked as if it would 60
