TACOMA, April 19.-Business is i'm

enlargement of wholesale and retail
distribution. but trade generally is
maintaining good proportions, despite
the fact that there has been another

manufacturing concerns which were
closed down for some time and equip
ment for new industries. Farm work
is still retarded to a considerable ex-
tent, and crops will be later by sew
eral weeks than the normal. but the
conditions hold fiattering for excep-
tlOnal returns. So far as cereals are
concerned the outlook is regarded as
propitious for harvest of wheat that

fact is recognized that complete re-

active periods of the year is impos-
sible until provided by the construc-

TOO MANY STAMPS

A Boston publisher .petitioned the
last congress for a substitute for a
postage stamp currency. He said that
in one month of this year he had re-
ceived through the mails postage
stamps, mostly of the two smallest
denominations amounting to $4.470.63.
AS there were far more stamps thar
he could use in his business he had to
dispose Of some at a discount through
brokers. Many stamps were damag-
ed. His money loss, all things tax
Ell into account, was about $450. II
there had been fractional currency,
which could be sent with reasonable
safety through the mails, his loss
would have been trivial.
Only a comparatively small num-
Der have a vivid recollection of the
fractional currency which served Ior
small change during the civil war and
a few years Immediately thereafter.
They have not forgotten the delight
they felt when the gradual rise in val
ue of greenbacks brought the silver
dimes, half dimes, and quarters back
into circulation. They were more
than pleased to get rid of the dirty,
greasy, ragged, easily counterfelted
chicken feed" they had been COM
PEELED to use.
The government would now supply
a superior article of fractional cur
rency if it were to repeat the expert
ment. but while most men prefer pa
per to gold coin or silver dollars, 1t
is not likely that they would give up
the small silver unless they had to- l!
stands the wear and tear Of constant
use much better than a paper cur
rency would Unless redemption wert
rapid the small notes would
soon become soiled and unpleasant.
1t would be an easy, an inexpensive
matter TO put in circulation a limit
ed quantity of fractional currency and
see how the people took to it. II they
did not like it, it would soon find its
way back to the treasury unIee7
there should happen to be scarcity
Of small silver. That happens occa-
The only fault which can be found
with the small silver is that it cannot
be conveniently sent by mail. People
who wish to make small remittances
and do not find it convenient to get
money orders. or dislike to pay the
fee, fall back on postage stamps. The
Boston publisher is not the only suf-
ferer from this practice. There are
thousands of business men through
out the country who would have
joined with him in an appeal to con-
sress if they had been given an OPP
pOrtunity.
Postage stamps do not make a sat-
sfactory currency. Those who use
them as currency ought 10 be given
4 substitute. There should be enough
inventive genius in the treasury or
pOstOf1ice department to get up some
thing that will commend itself W
congress and the public and will re-
Iieve the business establishments
whose customers load them down

Marriage

The following clipping from an

will be of interest to many of
our readers:
"Will1am P. Greer, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Nat Greer, of this city,
was married in San Antonio yes
terday to Miss Ethel Ellen Edgar.
The wedding took place at the
home of the brides mother in the
Alamo City. Both of the young
people are great favorites in Ell
Paso and. the best wishes of
their many friends follow them
to the beautiful ranch on the
Brazos. which will be their fu-
ture home"
While the bride is not known
to us, the groom, little "Billy, "
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nat Greer, who for many years
resided in this county, was well
known to nearly all of us. AS a
boy little Billie was as full ot
mischief as his face was full Of
freckles, and a prime favorite
with everyone.
We will mail to him a marked
copy of this issue of the ARGUS
and if he can successfully deny
the allegation we will "set 'em
up" and at the same time Offer
to them our best wishes and
congratulations.
