WILL PROTECT
STATE HEALTH
PUBLIC PHYSICIANS AND Of
FlClALS MEET SATURDAY TO
RECOMMEND LAWS NEEDED
IN STAMPING OUT DISEASE.

Theh first general meeting of the
health officers of the state will be
held in Seattle December IL and
a systematic line of progress in
preventing disease and stamping
out existing contagion is expected
to result. Members of all health
boards of the state are expected
to attend this session. DR.. Grieve,
health officer of Spokane, believes
that more actual results can be ac-
complished by this means than by
any other for the health interests
of the people as whole
A wide range of subjects will be
covered in the discussions planned
the most important being isola-
ton of contagious cases with which
municipalities have to deal; most
approved means of maintaining
healthful conditions in cities, and
the most effective methods of
fighting tuberculosis.
In the matter of contagion an
energetic effort will be made to
insure more thorough methods of
quarantining smallpox cases in
country districts. In many tran
silent cases now authorities in
smaller communities, instead of re-
porting cases to the county health
officers, simply order the patient
to leave on the theory that he will
go to the nearest city and find
care there at public expense. I'm
der the present system, contagion
is quarantined in the country
where discovered when reported,
but under the present system it is
frequently deported instead of be-
ing reported.
The health officers convention
will agree on restrictions deemed
necessary for the public health,
and these will be incorporated in
recommendation to the coming
session of the legislature for the
enactment of up to date health
statutes.

CONTRACT CLASH
TIES UP WILL !

An agreement entered into two
years ago by Mrs. Kate Fazon.
widow of the late Henry H. Fazon.
a few days after the death Of her
husband, by which she agreed to
pay w. ]. Fazon $4,000 from the
proceeds of her husbands estate,
and which agreement she now de-
clines to carry out because of a
lack of consideration, has caused
the executor of the will, Henry F..
Sorg, to apply to the superior
court as to what action to take.
Sorg has about 100000 belonging
to the trust, which he is ready to
distribute. The only heir under the
will is the widow. In the agree
ment referred to, made October 26,
1906, Mrs. Kazon agreed to pay A.
T. Kazon $1,000, w. ]. Kazon $4,000
and AL Kazon $4,000. The execu-
tor has made partial payments on
the widows agreement with A. T.
and AL Kazon, and is ready to pay
them the balance agreed upon, but
can not wind up the trust until
some agreement is reached az to
the claim of w. J. Kazon.

CURRENCY REPORT SHOWS
YEAR OF IMPROVEMENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The
annual report of the comptroller of
currency, Lawrence o. Murray,
shows that in 1907 the percentage
of cash holdings of all banks to
individual deposits was $50 per
cent. On or about June 80 of the
current year the banks of the coun-
try he'd in their vaults 1910 per
cent to meet the demands of de-
positors. National banks increased
their percentage of cash holdings
to individual deposits from 1910 to
20.33; state banks from S.2S to
1851, private banks from SIC to
6.71; loan and trust companies
from 493 to 6.34, and savings
banks from 0.7S to 1.25 per cent.
On or about June 80, 1908, the
banks of the country had on hand
s1,96S.329,6S3 against s1,113,742,316
in 1907, a gain of s254,5S7. 1867 dur
ing the year. About two-thirds of
the cash holdings of the banks of
the country is in national banks.
The stock of money in the United
States on June 80, 1907, was 49,

ent year it was reported at $3,37S,-

Bank resources have more than

jury in Judge Kennan's court
charged with larceny from the per-
son of w. A. Robey on November
10 last while Robey was asleep in
saloon. Harry Delaney and F. s.
Downing were arrested along with
Parker, and jointly charged with
him. A separate trial was asked,
and the state called the case
against Parker first, as the evil
dence against him is considered a
little stronger, owing to the fact
that part of the money alleged to
have been stolen was found on his
person. Don Kizer is prosecuting
the case, and Tustin & Moore are
appearing for the defense.

:: CONNECT THE
: FISHERIES

SEATTLE, Dec. 10.-The signal
corps Of the army is about to es-
tablish a Wire station at Peters
burg and another to connect across
at Wrangel, an announcement that
is of the greatest importance to
the fishing interests which center
at these points.
The houses are being built and
within two months 1t is expected
that the stations will be fully
equipped and in operation.
Petersburg is the headquarters
for a large feet of halibut schoon-
ers which spend the winter in
southeastern Alaskan waters. The
catches are landed at Petersburg
and there are trans-shipped by
regular steamers to the market in
Seattle.
BY means of wireless it will be
possible for dealers to keep in
touch with the source of supply,
while owners can communicate
without delay with their vessels.

GOOD PAY AND
MORE WORK

Editor, The Press-Permit me
to give an opinion of the city wage
scale subject The scale is certain
ly not out of proportion with the
price of any other labor or trade
and l believe that any man who
performs eight hours of hard work
with pick and shovel, or any SINH
lar work, is entitled to such remun-
Grafton. But there is question to
this, do the men working for the
city as rule earn the money they
get?"
Let any competent man, a Judge
of labor, stand and watch a gang
of men on city work and he will
soon find out that a very small per-
centage of them earn what they
get. Most of the foreman jobs,
and they are numerous. are OBJ
tanned through favoritism or politi-
cal influence, and many of the
common jobs also. l have heard
it said that no man could get a
city job without some kind of a
pull. The men know this and do
not care IL they work or not. They
are getting paid for something
else.
This is one reason why city
work is so expensive to the taxpay-
er and there is so little accomplish
ed with the vast amount of
money that is spent. l will give
one instance and could give many
more if necessary.
Last year there was a water ex-
tension put in on Grand street, a
six inch main 800 feet long. 1t
took IS men three days to do the
work in practically loose ground.
Six good men should have done
this EARLY in two days. One man
moved three shovels of dirt in five
minutes by The watch and this
early in May.
/ say this: Keep up the scale
by all means; but also keep up the
standard of work done. Employ
competent and conscientious fore.
men and reduce their number.
We should not forget that the
city treasury is in reality the
pocket of the taxpayer and that as
such he is entitled to get the
proper returns for his money. Nc
establishment of any kind car
prosper II it's employees do not per
form their duties properly.
But II there should be reduc
ton of the city's pay scale fol
economy's sake, which l hope not
then let Il begin at the top.
] cannot remember of hearing
any kick from the higher officials
and councilmen when Some tim'
ago all their salaries wehe raiset
quite substantially. Yours, r
Jundtz.

gated s9,146,O17,917, the increase
since that date amounting to $780,
437, 392,476, or ia per cent.
Of the 33 national banks for
which receivers were appointed
during the year ended October 81,
1908, banks, with aggregate CAPT
tai of $1,290,000, were restored to
solvency and authorized to resume
business, while receivers proceed
ed to liquidate the assets of "a

taken charge of by the receivers
of these "a banks was $31, 415,511,
tn liabilities, so far as reported,
being $19,342,610. Dividends to the
amount of $7,994,666 have been
paid to creditors of the banks
which failed during the year, and
the affairs of one such bank having
been finally settled, the receiver

Noting the cause of failure of
banks placed in charge of receiv-
ers during the year, it appears that
seven banks were wrecked by the
cashier, one by defalcation of Off
GERS, and three chiefly through
fraudulent management, among
other causes. OF the remainder,
four failed from excessive loans to
others and depreciation of securi-
ties, etc.; three by reason of in
judicious banking; two from exces-
sive loans to directors and others,
and two from depreciation of Sc
curities; one from failure of large
debtors. and one from general
stringency in the money market.

but a few exceptions. For many
years nine tenths of the food
staples used by the Japanese popu-

imported from Japan, but the Japa-

modes of living.
The most noticeable shrinkage
of the Japanese expectations is in

place. The Japanese merchants of
