BIG FUND FROM
CORPORATIONS

BOISE, Ida, July Estate Treas
urar Hastings has compiled financial
statement of the corporations who
have thus far reported to the secre-
tary of state. The secretary notifies all
companies of the amount of tax due
the state from them. These records
are made on two books one for his
office and one for the state treasurer's
office. Thus far there are lob cor
porations' who have filed their state
ments and the total amount of their
tax is $4S94S. The law requires all
corporations to file their statements
with the secretary Of state before July
Is, but they have until August IS in
which to remit to the state treasurer.
About $4,000 has so far been turned
in to the state treasurer. 1t is ex-
pected that the state will derive at
least $4,000 from this source Of reva-
nue. per annum. A great majority are
very slow reporting, as over 5000 no.
tees were sent out but good many
of the corporations are dead and a
great many letters which were sent
out from the secretary's Office were re-
turned.

ORANGE CROP
EXTRA HEAVY
Seasons Output Beats All
Prior Records But
One Year

REDLANDS. Cal, July 22.-The
orange season in the Redlands district
| is practically over. Several of the
| packing houses have closed down and
it was estimated today that about 20
cars remain for shipment The ship
| ments from the Redlands station for
the season now are 1921 cars, against
S,O16 for last season. With the lem
on shipments of 20 cars and the 20
cars yet to go, the shipments from
Rdlands proper for the season are
over $500 cars. From Grafton, Men,
tone and Redlands junction, all in
cluded in the Redlands district, the
shipments for the season have reach
ed 500 cars making the district output
$500 cars, exceeded only in one year.
Fifteen cars were shipped the past
week against one for the correspond
ing week of last year. Only valen-
cias remain and they bring the high
prices predicted for them when the
navels We're out of the way.
This week the West American COM
pany of Redlands sold three cars for
$1,536 f. o. b. or "a per box and on
small lots even better returns have
been received and some auction prices
have gone above this mark. The sea-
son is closing strong on prices and all
who held valencias late will reap the
benefits. The lemon market also has
been good for the past week, but the
grapefruit market is weak.
The orange season in the Highland
district also is practically over, all
of the fruit going out this week. The
shipments from the district for the
season were 1858 cars, 314 cars more
than the shipments last season. The
increase is due to the new bearing
acreage and to the larger sizes. The
in the district will amount to
$960,O00 exclusive of packing, ship
ping and picking charges. This is
about 5000 per acre.

BIG CANAL FROM
LAKES TO GULF
Cost $5O,OOO,O8O Garry 80,
100000 Tons Annually at
Ore. Six b Price

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Ships Of
900 tons burden in the near future
will be enabled to load cotton, sugar.
! lumber and other supplies at New Or
leans, steam up the Mississippi and
ohio rivers to the Great Lakes and
return laden with wheat and ore and
coal. This was made possible this
week when the national government
ssued charter to the Lake Erie and
Ohio River Ship Canal company. The
company is to build a CANA by private
contract, but the operation OF the wa
terway will be under certain federal
supervision.
The ship channel as its name indi-
Gates. is to connect Lake Erie with the
/ Ohio river. Its northern terminus, I'M
less plans are modified or changed, is
to be at Geneva on the-Lake, some
seven miles west of Ashtabula, Ohio. 1t
will enter the Ohio river by utilizing
the Manhoning and Beaver rivers.
The distance covered by the canal is
1903 miles. The channel will be $50
feet wide, and it will have depth all
the way of IA feet. 1t is estimated
that, once completed. the canal will
have a capacity of 100000 tons of
freight annually. The cost will ap-
proximate $5O,00O,000, but II the earn
ings of foreign canals furnish any
criterion it win prove highly re-
munerative investment besides being
boon to shippers and a wonderful
upbuilder of the territory it traverses.
The saving this canal will effect to
shippers will he enormous. On an
average the cost of waterway trans
portation is one-siXth that by rail. AT
the last convention of the national
rivers and harbors congress its presi-
dent, Congressman Ransdell of Louisi-
ana. advanced some figures that show
ed clearly what waterway development
meant not only to the shipper, but to
the consumer who. in the last analy-
sis, is the one who feels the weight or
heavy transportation tolls In the ad-
vanced cost of the necessities of life.
Mr. Ransdell, in comparing rates,
pointed to the fact that the average
railroad charge is 76 mills per ton per
mile, and said:
There is an immense commerce on
the Ohio river, and there the freight
charge is .73 of one mill per ton per
mile. The tremendous commerce OF
the lower Ohio and the Mississippi be-
tween Louisville and New Orleans is
carried at a freight charge of .67 or
one mill per ton-less than one-elev- !
enth of the railroad charge. There Is
a splendid commerce on the Monon-
gahela river. and the freight charge Is
less than one-eleventh of the railroad
charge.
What would it amount TO in one
year If we could carry all our freight
by water? Last year the commerce OF
this country, which moved by ra l.
was 1908, 900, 900 tons. If it could have
been carried by water the saving
thereon would have BEEN in one year
$3.50. 900 600 These figures are so vast
that I know they stagger credulity bur
they are absolutely true. and defy any
man to contradict th"m."

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.-With only
seven cases of plague reported during the

cisco Is almost eradicated as a result of
the vigorous sanitary campaign conducted
during the past four months by the
United States Marine hospital service.

health authorities.
DR.. Blues staff consists of Dr. w. G.
Rucker. his executive officer. and four

hospital service
Over 100000 has been expended in a
campaign of sanitation, and the monthly
payroll nt present Is about $4,000, "
which the federal government is paying
three-fourths. 1t is estimated that $780,

THE situation has greatly improved"

effective, despite the apathetic attitude Of
the people of San Francisco, some Of

W .rd us for the work that we are doing

while few cases of plague have oc-
Cured this month, rat plague has been
considerably on the increase. This, at
tribute to driving the rats to closer quar-

suit of our campaign, and the severe
weather during this month
''The work of sanitation will continue
unabated for some time yet and shall
until months pass without single case
being reported"
DR.. Blue said he would probably remain
in San Francisco until after next summer.

Sundays are beginning to resume their
usual tint, after three more or less
blue Sabbaths.'' Proprietors of moving
picture shows, who had gone to the
trouble to secure inJunctions against the
police, conducted their places of business
much as usual yesterday. except for the
fact that "barkers" were removed from
the sidewalk.
All the vaudeville theaters were open,
although the bills presented had been
considerably changed, in order to bring
them under a somewhat strained inter-
probation of the ruling allowing sacred

were great crowds at the concerts at
two operas and the uptown cafes and
restaurants were better patronized than
on the preceding two Sundays.

abroad than they had here. because here
we we're able to make distinctions, while
there at a remote distance the revela-
tions created distrust in our whole busi-
ness fabric.
when, therefore, two or three institu-
tions. banks and trust companies sup
posed to be solid were found to have
their capital impaired by stock jobbing
of their officers, the public was easily
frightened and the run upon the banks
began. The question then became not
one of loanable capital but one of actual
money to be used in the transactions of
the day--a very different question, though
OF course closely related.
TT would seem that our system of
currency is not arranged so as to permot
its volume to be increased temporarily
70 counteract the sudden drain OF money
by the boarding In panic. 1t Is probable
thta the stringency. which reached its
height on that dark day of October "a.
might in part have been alleviated had
we had currency which could automati-
cally enlarge itself to meet the tremen-
dous demand of a day or a week or a
month while public confidence was being
restored.
1.-The national administration. together
with many of the large capitalists Of
New York and elsewhere, put their
shoulders under the load and by various
devices of an unusual character, have
brought about the present condition of
gradually increasing confidence.
Injurious Consequences
''The injurious consequences to follow
from this panic are not likely to be so
astrous Industrial depression as the panic
of 1898 or the panic of 1873. and this for
the reason that the condition of the coun-
try makes it so much easier to resume
business gradually, to accumulate capi-
tai and then to renew the enterprises
which had to be abandoned for lack OF 1t.
"In the first place, we have solid
currency with no suggestion now OF
departure from the gold standard. In
1893 the pressure for free silver was on
and the threat of national reputation
had much to do with the delay in the
return to prosperous times. Our govern
ment finances now are In excellent con-
dition and we have a larger surplus. Our
farming communities in the west today
are not under the weight of mortgages
and of debt which distressed them in 1893
and 1873. They are prosperous and
wealthy.
Again, the railroads, which make up
a large part of the wealth of this coun-
try, are on much more solid founda-
tion than they were in 1893. Then many
of them had to be taken into hands of
and immense amounts expended
by means of receivers certificates dis
placing and destroying the value of
vested securities In order to put roads
in safe and income-earning condition.
The railroads today are in better con-
dition than they have ever been in their
history. Their gross receipts are larger
-
fore But few of them have recently
been built into new territory in which
business has to be created by introduc-
ing a new population"

BOYLE HEIGHTS MAY LOSE

Instead of having $4,000 in the general
fund, the city is in debt $4,000 to that
fund.
Checking UP of the appropriations by
the auditors department reveals that the

their means.
The city is indebted $2O,OO0 to the water
fund, as it borrowed to install new fire
