Cent conquers the West.

Whether the currency stringency is
responsible for II or not, 1t is certain
that the long existing prejudice of the
west against the use OF the cent is
being broken down. In Oregon and
Washington merchants are yielding
to the demands of their patrons,
many Of them people OF eastern birth
who have settled in the northwest, to
introduce the copper coin in business
transactions. Formerly no coin small
er than the five-cent piece was in cir
culation, and in cases where purchases
came to sums which were not multi
pies of five 1t was the custom to make
transactions In "even money" The
principal objection TO the reform in
this method Is that 1t means addi-
tional work for accountants and an
entire change in cash registers. New
ertheless, many of these, and larger
number Of slot machines, have been
changed so as to receive cents. De-
