Poetry, music, flowers, speeches, con-
gratulations and carmel wine" reigned
supreme last Sunday night at the beau
tiful and spacious residence of Mr.

second avenue. 1t was banquet ten
dered to Sol Bloomgarden ("Jeho-

devoted wife at the head of the table,
surrounded by seventy five of his most
enthusiastic friends and admirers, the
feast opened at 8 O'Clock and was kept
up until the peaks of the Rockies were
plainly visible through the gray dawn Of
the morning. After partaking of the
many palatable material things prepared
by the host and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs.
Levine Jacob Marinoff, toastmaster,
opened the intellectual part Of the pro-
gram with a few appropriate remarks.
In compliance with the request of Mr..
Bloomgarden, the many speakers did not
confine themselves to the mere praising
and bouquet throwing, but INDUCED in
a free and exhaustive discussion and an
alysis of the works of the poet, which
proved of great interest to the banquet
ers and was thoroughly enjoyed by Mr..
Bloomgarden. Following were the spe-
cial features of the evening: A poem
dedicated to Jehoash, written and read
by "A. Shapiro of Pueblo; "Jehoash as

 Let such additional notes be subject to a graduated tax as follows: The first five per cent. taxed at the rate of ? per cent per annum; the second ! per cent. taxed at the rate If per cent; the third per cent taxed at the rate of 1 Ter cent; then an issue equal to 10 per cent of the capital taxed , per cent: then an issue equal to 10 per cent of capital, taxed per 'cent
 Let the proceeds of this graduated tax constitute a guaranty fund, in the custody of the government. for the re- demption of the notes of failed banks.
 To insure the prompt retirement of notes when not needed. let redemption agencies be established at sub-trea uries and other convenient points.
 Let all the notes of a bank be alike in form. and let it be the duty of the United States treasurer to redeem all the notes Of a failed bank. as 2t pres ent. in full on presentation, and to recoup itself from the assets of the failed bank and from the guaranty fund.
 9 That the law restricting the re- tirement of national bank notes to 8. .000. 900 per month by the deposit of lawful money. be repealed.
 g. That future issues of United States bonds be not made available as a basis for the issue of national bank notes.
 4. That the laws regulating the operations of the United States treas ury be amended in such a manner that they shall not, as now, interfere with the money market: and to this end we suggest law requiring that all money in the general fund of the treasury above a reasonable working balance be deposited in national banks.

GOOD WEEKS WORK
 Al GRANITE REEF
Another Section Of the Under Water
 Foundation Has Been Begun.

Fine progress was made last week in the construction work at Granite Reef. The foundation was completed in that section of the dam, construc- ton of which was just begun a week ago Sunday. and the big cement apron. seyenty-five feet wide. below the sec ton just north of it was finished and the apron pushed out some distance to- ward the river behind this last con- structed section of the foundation.
 To explain better just how far the work has progressed. the dam has been actually completed 4SO feet from the north side. together wi-h the apron be- low where an apron was needed. which is only a part of the way for most of this part of the dam Is built on solid rock which comes to the dry season water line. The foundation up to the water level is completed l40 feet furth- er. or 620 feet from Jhe north bank. The apron below this section is about sevenJy-five feet wide and is also completed to within fifty feet of the end of the foundation. or to the 57D foot mark from the north side of the river This apron as far as complet- ed is solid cement floor 15Xl50 feet in size. on rock foundation. and vii!

be much larger before the dam is fin ished.
 There is now just 2S0 feet Gin length) of foundation to build, to finish the structure from it's subterranean depth up to the present water level and a coi- fer tam is under construction around d sCventy-five foot section of this distance. There is little doubt but that in this present seventy-fiye foot section, the jutting bedrock from the southside will be safely anchored upon and the rest of it will be comparatively easy sailing"
 In the near future work will be re- sumed from the south side and the completed dam carried out to the wat CTS edge, d matter of perhaps a hun dred feet. After the seven,y-five foot section now started from the north side is brought up to water level cof- fer dam will De thrown across the DOT ton of the river bed where the water now runs and the water will be divert ed across the foundation and apron constructed to water level and de- scribed above, as between the present scene of operations and the end of the competed tNU feet ltOul tile north side. This will give the river a smooth cement bed over 200 feet wide, to be used temporarily while the ioun- dation is being placed in that section where the water now runs. After that nothing can happen to hurt. If the big floods come down they will have a smooth water level cement founda- ton 10 glide over, which will be con- stantly growing narrower, as the work proceeds in the piling up of concrete above the normal water level, working from both ends. When the aperture between the two finished ends of the dam gets narrow enough, coffer dam will be built above it in the shape of an arch or half circle, joining either the dam at each end. and the water will in that way be diverted through the waste gates or in the head gates on one or both sides of the river, while Ghe closure to the big dam is being made in the center. And then MT. River will be bound. gagged and hob bled and will be made to eat out of the governments hand, conquered and broken in spirit, but it's usefulness nightly magnified.

increase their holdings of the United States bonds which are deposited as security: and they cannot at will re- gain possession Of the bonds by the deposit of lawful money for the re tirement of their notes. On account of the investment nsideratlons re- gardirg bonds which are involved in tle issue of national bank notes, we find that this class of currency, which in most other leading countries pos sesses a useful flexibility. is here is- sued and retired utterly without re- gard to the countrys varying needs for currency.
 Notwithstanding the inadequacy of the bcnd-secured circulation of our na- tional banks. our deliberations have brought us to the conclusion that il would be unwiso to disturb this circu- lation or to recommend any substitute for it as it now exists, for such a course would lead to an negotiable depreciation of the United States bonds now outstanding. In our opin- ion. however. future issues of govern ment bonds should not be made avail able as basis for bank notes. for the great increase in the bond cir culation that has taken place within the last six years furnishes evidence that the existing system of note issue without adequate redemption might become dangerous.
 We have had brought before us for consideration two classes of remedies for existing evils:-G radical meas ures involving the creation Of corpOr- ations with powers and privileges un- like these now possessed by any Amer ican institution; C2) measures which would enlarge the privileges of corpor- ations already in existence. We have deemed it best to select from each of these classes the one which we believe to be the best. IT the country is ready for radical addition to our financial system. We believe that the worlds experience proves beyond question that a central bank of issue controlled by the government ought to be establish ed. If. however. the people of the United States shrink from the creation of such an institution We believe that the wisest alternative is a simple measure enlarging the prese8t note issue privilege Of national banks in such manner that their right of issue shall not vary with their ownership of United States bonds. and under such conditions that the retirement of their notes when not needed shall be certain ana automatic.
 We therefore make the following recommendations:
 1. That legislation bc enacted which shall provide the country with a flex- ible and elastic bank note currency: and to this end We suggest that either one of the two following plans might wisely be adopted:
 (aD Let there be created a central bank of issue similar to the Bank of Germany or the Bank of France. such bank 10 deal exclusively with banks its stock to be owned in part by bank ing institutions and in part by the government, but in its management representatives of the government shall be supreme. This central bank shall issue currency. rediscount for other banks. held public money. and act as agent Of the government in re- deeming its paper money and making its disbursements.
 Or (b) Let any national bank whose bond-secUred circulation equals 90 per cent of its capital have authority to

Summary Of Recommendations of New York Chamber of Commerce to Be Considered Today by Phoenix Board of Trade.

The announcement in yesterday mornings Republican that the board

 In yesterdays mail there was re .aiHed at The Republican office a pa rer-backed book Of over fifty pages. .ntitlcd The Currency" and issued by the New York chamber of commerce. The first half of the book is devoted ro the report of the committee of the chamber of commerce. which recom- uends the central bank idea. The rther half is a reprint of letters from the arrangements Of foreign banks. About half of the report is a recital of currency conditions and facts which affect them. The opinion of the com mittee is then set forth at length and inc report closes with a summary in condensed form. In view of the fact that Phoenix financiers are called up an Co express their opinion this af- tyrnoon. as further food for thought, herewith is presented the
 Summary of the Report.
 We find that our currency is seri- "uslv defective in that its volume does not vary with the demand, so that the business of the country is alternately .Vposcd to the evils of redundant and of a deficient supply.
 When the need for currency in- oreases. as it does every autumn when the crops are harvested. our banks are obliged to pay out lawful money from their reserves. and in consequence to raise their rates of interest on demand and time loans. These operations are sr source Of real loss to the commercial and industrial interests Cf the entire country. They work injury to our merchants. to our manufacturers, and to our farmers,-in shCrt, to all classes of producers.
 When. on the other hand. the sup ply of currency is excessive. as it usu- ally iS in the spring. the consequent congestion of banking reserves forces an ahnormally low rate of interest and ~o tends to excite a dangerous specu- latiye spirit in our markets and eX- changes.
 We believe that this oscillation be- tween periods of contraction and in ta'i1n is the direct consequence of the artificial and unnecessary inflexibility .f our currency due tc restrictions which are placed by law upon the issue at bank notes. Under the existing law national banks can increase their issue of notes only in proportion as they

Reynoldsvile's Board Of Trade--a Little

Death Of the Project to Organize 1t.

"Once upon time last October perhaps--Rey ynolds
Vile people woke up sufficiently to realize that the town

saying for long time the press said and industrial

The Trade that Goes from Reyno1dsvil1e
to Chicago is Menace to Home Prosper
ity which Our Merchants Should Combat

The business man who does not advertise has much
reason to complain when trade that might be his goes else
where-to Chicago for instance.
We have no commendaon for mail order houses or the
practice OF ordering goods from any out Of town firm that
can be procured Ia Reynoldsve We condemn utterly the
system because IL takes money out OF the should
remain In circulation here and hence detrimental to
home prosperity.
Some-a good many, perhapssend to mail order houses
for goods at home doing under the impression
that they getting their goods cheaper than the home
merchant offers.
We know OF Reynodsville merchants who contradict
that belief and show upon their shelves goods identical with
those advertised In the mail order
priced cheaper than the city houses quotations.
Now no man will send away for an article he can buy
cheaper at home, II he knows the fact
Yet hundreds OF orders do 90 to Chicago
The inference Is that he does not know what the home
merchants have to oerand It's up to the home merchants
to let him know II they expect to get his trade.
The mail order houses have built their business solely
by advertising Day In and day on, they proclaim the
bargains they offer to the public.
