Industrial Alcohol for Farmers.

The value of industrial alcohol to
farmers is the theme Of an article in the
current issue of Harper Weekly, which
shows the interest that farmers of this
country, particularly in the west and
east, are taking in the new fluid. A
farmers national committee was ap-
pointed nearly a year ago, and its object
is to promote the use of alcohol in the
industrial arts, and especially to encour-
age its use for light, heat, and power, to
the end that now markets for farm prod
ucts shall be opened, modern improve
ments brought into the rural home, the
toll of the farmers wife lessened, and
all the benefits of cheap alcohol diffused
among the people in the shortest posi-
BILE time. 1t is urged that farmers make
every possible use of the fluid.
1t is known that Augustus Saint
Gaudens left an autobiography, which
he wrote and dictated during the last
years of his life. The Century will print
it in 1909.

Spokane's Good Record.

In making a new record for Spo-
kane bank clearings for a single week
by passing the $4,000, 900 mark, Spo-
kane not only made an increase of 6.7
per cent over the corresponding week
Of 1907, but jumped from 28th to 25th
among the 100 cities reported by Brad
street S. The cities passed were Port
land, Ore, and Albany, N. Y.
One of the remarkable things in con-
n~ection with the cl~earings is that Wash
ington, a comparatively new and
sparsely settled state, is one among
four states in the United States to have
three cities reporting clearings of $5,-
100000 or over. The three cities in
Washington with $5,OOO,O 900 or over are
Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma. The
other states are New York, in which
are New York city, Albany and Buffalo,
and Ohio, in which are Cincinnati
Cleveland and Columbus, and Texas, in
which are Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston
and Galveston.
