BANkERSAT Meeting
INLAND EMPIRE FINANCIERS
AT SPuKANE, SUNDAY.
One Hundred and Sixty-one Present

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, genqral con-
fidence was expressed by the 161 rep
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. 7. 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
Spokane Clearing House association
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-
cipa exchange centers is by the con
version of commodities into cash. TO
accomplish this on a 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 oi
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. J. c. Law
renee, state railroad commissioner. ad-
vised the assembled bankers tDt
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 well sup
piled with cash resources and the only
difficulty they have had was in 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"

Few at Present.

A financial force that will furnish
mighty uplift of no mean measure
to the monetary situation throughout
the United States may be reckOned
upon TO make itself felt within the
near future. when European investors,
according to views expressed in New
York city by international banking
houses, are expected to come to the
New York market and purchase stand
ard securities whose prices have been
forced to low levels by urgent liquida-
ton.
Purchases Of American securities on
large scale by foreign investors
spell gold imports of large proper
tions, and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that millions would soon be
poured into New York in payment for
securities purchased at the present
level. Arbitrage houses already re-
port purchases of an investmt Nt
character by foreigners and as the sit
uation clears the purchases will in
crease.
England and the continent bought
largely of American securities last
March, when the local market was suf-
fering from severe decline. and arbi-
trage brokers now say that bargain
hunters abroad are again nibbling at
good American securities.
I'VE are going to have some feat
ures of 1898 over again." said a mem
Der of an international banking house.
After the storm came the calm in
that year,and while we were adjusting
ourselves to new order of affairs the
European investor came into our mar
ket and bought heavily of our stocks,
which did more than anything else to
bring needed gold to our shores. The
storm center is now behind us and pur-
chases for foreign account will soon
help swell our credit abroad and pre-
vent cessation of gold Importation |
have London adviceS that many Eng
lish institutions are dispCsing of Eng
lish and Argentine railroads in prepar-
alton for investment in this market A
momentary stringency brought about
by an excess of prosperity can never
be provocative of continued distrust
OF our institutions, and with a clearing
situation the capital Of Europe will
find its way here for investment when
the yield on the investment is greater
than in any financial market in the
world"
European houses are said to be bare
of American securities which were
sold here last summer, according to
reports made by arbitrage houses here
and these houses may now be consid-
cred as probable purchasers Of the
very securities which they sold many
points higher than present prices.
Money for Inland Empire.
The announcement that the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway will
send in currency at the rate of prob
ably $1,00O,000 a month to meet the
pay rolls on its extension through
E 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 loosenine
the stringency and will have a de
cidedly beneficial effect on The whole
community.

COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
Prospects are Good for a Great Success
EVERY DAY-THE fine new BUILDINGS NEARLY READY
FOR CANYON C0UNTY'S Big ANNUAL FAIR

heaval, when the old guard was kick
ed out, without ceremony. In Janua-
ry the association was enabled to re-
organize by paying Messrs. Froman &
Mosby some 100000. The present
officers of the association are H. d.
Andrews, president; T. X. Little, vice
president; w. r. Sebree, treasurer;
]. B. Gowen, secretary; D. D. Camp
bell, H. w. Dorman, ]. H. Lowell, N.
s. Miller, w. H. Roadway. w. B.
Mitchell and H. A. Grif1ths, directors.
While the fair has been a success
each year, yet we must remember
that it has had many vicissitudes OF
fortune. 1t was never a financial sue
cess, and never will have any great
amount of money in the treasury.
All the association expects to do
Is to keep up and little in advance
of the country. The officers will put
forth every effort to hold fair that
will also be creditable to Canyon
county. In the years when bad
weather prevailed and the attendance
was consequently small, 1t took stout
hearts to keep things going. During
those dismal times Canyon county
is to be congratulated that men like
Campbell and Gowen and the others
were in charge. These two men as
the head and working part of the as
ISOLATION assumed the burden and
| bore it. To be sure they had on the
Board of Directors Caldwells strong
est and ablest men. These men
stood behind their officers manfully.
But now the Canyon County Fair
Association is in way to get on
its feet. The officers are putting
forth strenuous effort to make this
years fair success Last year the
premiums amounted to $1073.75 and
$4,000 in special premiums. The
attendance last year was 1854 and
1000 free admissions on children's
day, making a total 1854. This yeal
the premiums offered amount t.
$1S0O.00 and $4,000 special prem
iums, making 4 total of $2500.0 90
Prospects for This Year.
From consultation with sSecretar,
Gowen we learn that the prospect
for the fair this year are far bette
than ever before. Several thing
are responsible for this condition

Fair Notes.


The race track at the fair grounds
Ia now finished at cost Of $1365.50.
Caldwell always has the best and
there is no exception to the rule In
the case of the race track at the new
fair grounds. President Campbell
makes the statement that there is no
track in the northwest that is its
equal.
Secretary Gowen has applications
for "a stalls. J. w. Garrett has
asked for eight additional stalls for
his registered cattle. The board is
seriously contemplating increasing
the number Of sheds and stalls.
The board OF directors has decided
to grant the privilege of erecting
stalls to those who desire for their
individual use. Provided that the
stalls erected conform with the style
Of those put up by the association.
This plan will afford the ranchers
and others an opportunity to have
their own stables during the fair,
after which they can be locked ur
until again needed.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1907-08-24

in the first place, (although Mr..
Gowen will not admit it, much cred
1t is due the secretary. He has CIV
en- the fair attention early enough in
the season to enable the farmers to
know what is coming. By special
arrangements the premium lists
were distributed in the county per-
sonally. Consequently the farmers
know about the fair, the awards Of
fered and the conditions. They
have become interested and propose
saving and exhibiting the products
of their gardens, orchards and field.
They are writing the secretary for
further particulars and notifying
him that they will be on hand with
the goods. This applies to the Pay
cite as we'll as the Boise valley. 1t
will be remembered that last year
some few people came over from the
Payette. They were treated SO
handsomely that they were delight
ed. They won prizes and premiums,
and on returning have told their
friends and neighbors of their good
treatment. This year they will come
back heavily reinforced.
In the second place the past
| fairs have awakened in the farmers
orchardists, dairymen, stock men
and poultrymen a healthy pride in
| the product of their endeavors.
Those who exhibited before not only
learned better methods and saw bet
ter stock, but were spurred on to
produce such stock. 1t naturally
followed that they have produced q
finer product. This applies to all
classes. When the farmer starts to
take interest and pride in his work
he will bring that product to the
county fair BY so doing he teaches
his neighbors and learns himself.
In the third place this summer
has brought forth in abundance The
climate has been ideal. There hal
been little water trouble. Sunshine

soil will always produce the fruit
of the field in their highest perfec
ton. The stock men have been sue

The recent completion of the Boise
Caldwell Interurban railway between
that city and Caldwell. marked the
beginning of period of interurban
railway building, that means the con-
struction of network of lines through
this valley, a great partof the Payette
valley and a small part Of the lower
Snake river valley. Owing to its
geographical position Caldwell Is
bound to be the hub. The Tribune
has no doubt but that the promoters
of this system originally intended to
make Boise the center. However,
Bosses location is against her. 1t
would be a physical impossibility
to make Boise the hub Of the system.
That position belongs to Caldwell and
there is no power on earth that can
make it otherwise. Roads will
emanate In all directions from Cald-
well. It is the purpose of w. ID.
Pierce and associates to extend the
line to Emmett, Talks Store. Pearl,
Payette, New Plymouth, Parma, Ros-
we'll and Nampa. Take map and
look at Caldwell's position:
The interurban company is capital
lied at 100000 and about $780,
900 has been expended on the Boise
Caldwell line. It is proposed by the
company to expend In all on the con-
struction of lines and other enter
prises in southern Idaho the sum OF
| $5,000,000, and in Boise alone $780,
900, in addition to the amount al
ready expended there, will be used
In extending its line, covering a dis
lance of a bout s miles. Work on
the extension in Boise has commenc-
ed and construction il being pushed
rapidly. The extensions being made
and those contemplated will be OF
the same substantial character az
