LAST YEARS BANK FAILURES.
Suspensions Fewer Than Noted I'm
Either 1903 or 1901.

Remarkable as 1t may appear,
were fewer suspensions of banks Of
all kinds in the United States in 1907
than in either 1903 or the year fol-
lowing, according to complete fig
ures which have just been received
in Portland.
At the same time no one heard of
any financial furry or money tight
ness in either of the two years mem
toned. The only reason why there
was so much excitement over the de-
preston of the year just closed was
that 1t was a short and sharp con-
flict with adversely in which practi-
cally all failures were punched with
in a few weeks.
Actual figures prepared by New
York financial journal show that
there was a total of SO failures in
1907, while there were 80 in 1903 and
SO in 1904.
The failures for the last year or
suspensions as they are designated,
for the reason that a majority of the
closed institutions will soon reopen
their doors, were divided as follows:
National banks, Ia; state banks, 2.S;
savings banks, 6; private banks, "a
and loan and trust companies. II. OF
these classes. with possibly one or two
exceptions. all suspended nationa
banks will soon resume business un
der a reorganization plan; a majorit!
of the state banks will do the same

HOW BOISE LOST CONVENTION
Political Bitterness Injected Into
WOolgrowers' Meeting.

Delegates who have just returned
from the state convention at Poca-
tello and the national convention at
Helena of the Woolgrowers, relate
how Boise lost the national conven-
tion which brought thousands of
delegates to Helena and which left
probably $4,000 in cash in that city,
says the Boise Capital News.
When the question of endorsing
Pocatello for the next national con-
vention came up, there was a strong
disposition to select Bose rather than
POcatello as the city of Idaho to be
boosted for the national convention.
But it was openly stated on the
floor of the convention and elsewhere
that certain delegates would not en-
dorse because of the rank support
that is given Pinchot and his policies
by an element in this city which al
ways todies to persons in political
power. For that reason Pocatello
won over Boise and. when the Idaho
delegates got to Helena they had lit
tie trouble in landing the national
convention for the Gate city, which
otherwise would have been brought to
Boise.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat, one
of the ablest papers sin the country,
has a noticeable editorial on "rhe
Westward March of Empire" that
shows how rapidly the center of pop
uation and business is shifting west
ward. It says:
"The swing of population and pow
er toward the western half of the
United States is strikingly shown in
the railway building Of the calendar
year 1907. The number of miles OF
track built in that year, exclusive Of
second track, sidings or electric lines
was 522O, and more than half were
laid west of the Mississippi. on the
region between the big river and the
Pacific coast 1924 miles of track
were constructed in the year. Sew
eral states which led in the mileage
of the year are in the trans-Missis-
sippi half of the country. Louisiana
led the states with 3S5 miles of new
track. and Texas, South Dakota,
Washington. California and Nevada
stood high on the roll. The older
states did very little railway building
in the year, the whole OF NeV Eng
land contributing less than 80 miles
to the total. while New York built
only 40 miles and Illinois but Is
miles.
And yet railway building west Of
| the Mississippi is so recent that many
persons still alive remember when it
began. From the east, through rail
connection was established with Chi
cago in 1853 and with the Mississip-
pi at Duck Island in 1854 and at East
! st. Louis i'm 1857. Through the
Hannibal and st. Joseph railway the
NJ .ssouri was touched IN 1859, and
at the meeting of the rails of the
Union Pacific which was being built
westward and the Central Pacific,
which was moving eastward, the con-
tinent was spanned in 1869. Though
there are five trans-continental lines
of road today none was completed
until 80 years ago.
"The comparative newness of the
big railways of the region west of the
Mississippi is shown by the fact that
the man who ran the first locomo-
tive on the Hannibal & st. Joseph
line is still alive and vigorous. From
1870 until 1905. Illinois led all the
states in number of miles of main
track, but in that year Texas went

WOMAN LANDS IN PRISON.
Peg-Ieg Female Worked Game on
IjabOrer.

The population of the penitentiary
was increased Saturday afternoon by
the arrival of IA prisoners from the
northern part of the state VINO were
escorted here by Travelling Guards
Esterbrook and Lowell, says the wal
la Walla Bulletin.
Among the motley array OF con-
victs. was Florence Eder. formerly
an inmate of the reform school, who
was arrested in Davenport a week
ago. and sentenced by Judge w. t.
warren to an indeterminate term OF
from six months to five years for
robbery from the person.
Her crime consisted OF getting a
laborer of Lind gloriously drunk and
then frisking his clothing of s12O
while he slumbered. He awoke while
the woman was going through his
pockets and before the ensuing scuf-
fle had subsidized the police dropped
in and took the woman off to jail.
She has peg leg and is considered
an all around bad character.

STREET CAR EXTENSION.
President /. w. Anderson Promises
WaIIa WaIIa q New Line.

Isaac w. Anderson, president Of the
Walla Walla Valley Traction com
pany is in Walla Walla on short
business trip, says the Walla Walla
Union. Mr.. Anderson yesterday In
company with other officials Of the
traction company, drove over the
route Of the proposed extension on
Pleasant street,
An official Of the company stated
this morning that II the necessary
bonds to construct the new line can
be disposed of, construction work
will probably be commenced shortly
in order to have the road completed
by April /, the time called for In the
contract with the property owners
who subscribed $4,000 towards the
road.
At the present time 1t is almost i'm
possible to sell railway bonds in the
east and an effort will probably be
made to negotiate local money to
build the line.
The traction company asked prop
erty owners for an extension of three
months time, agreeing to complete
the line by July /. Many property
owners agreed to the extension, while
others, it is said, have insisted that
the company comply with the first
agreement to complete the road by
April /.

to plans formulated last night at a

Much has been done for local line

announcement of still greater stream
stocking. comes as a bit of pleasing
news.

son line Are Being Purchased.
Eastern Washington and eastern
Oregon horses are declared to be
most suited for the heavy work re-
quired on the stage line from Daw-
son to White Horse, and Mr. Coutts'
superintendent OF the White Pass
overland stage and mail service be-
tween those points will arrive in a
few days for the purpose Of secur-
ing a number OF animals to carry on
the traffic during the summer
months, says a Walla Walla paper.
Mr.. Coutts will endeavor to secure
between 60 and 20 horses.
The horses of eastern Washington
and Oregon are declared to be espec-
tally we'll fitted for the work because
OF having been bred in a hardy cli-
mate and being a cross breed that
makes them sinewy and about the
right size. as to weight and ground
coverers. Each winter Dr. Coutts
makes trip into this section for
the purpose Of replenlshing his string
of horses.
From 100 to 150 horses are needeu
during the busy season. Relay stages
with from four to six horses each'
are operated on the run, each team
travelling one relay of about 20 miles
AT the close of the busy season some
NJ these horses are turned over TO
other stage lines, while still others
are nut out to pasture in the valleys
about Whitehorse.
In addition to producing the pest
horses for the purpose, the nland
empire is also regarded as being more
nlentiful with acceptable horses than
any other section OF the northwest

outcome of a meeting to be held by

General superintendent NJ. j.

The matter came up late last year

time it was decided that the engine
men were entitled to more pay, but
the exact amount and other details
were not fixed upon.
Other meetings have been held
