TOWN OF MICHEL, B. c.,
AGAIN SWEPT BY FIRE

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept 3o.-The
town of Michel, B. c., was again swept
by fire early Tuesday morning, the
cause being unknown. Practically all
the business houses were wiped out
except the Great Northern hotel, the
Kootenal hotel, drug store, barber
shop and billiard hall. The loss is es-
timated at $40, 900 with small insurance.
Within a year the machinery exports Of
Japan have increased five-fold.

Max Figman will be the attraction !
nesday Oct. 9Th and 7th, in the de-
lightfu comedy 1.-THE Substitute" by |
Beulah M. Dix and Evelyn Greenleaf !
Sutherland, author Of 1.-THE Road to
Yesterday" Mr.. Figman is one of
those genuine artists whose perform
ance always bears a study and ma
lysis and who abounds in magne-
tism that drains the auditor more
than once to see him. 1.-THE Substi-
tute" is a play that will live for
years and afford more enjoyment each
time it is seen. The story is inter-
esting the action bright and snappy
and the comedy simply irresistible.
Mr.. Figman brings with him COM
pany specially selected for their parts
and a production new and complete
in every detail If the hit he made
elsewhere last season is as1y criterion
the theater will be packed during his
engagement here.
"Under Southern Skyes," the most
SUCCESSFUL play of the present day
whose scene is located in the south,
occupies a place by itself in South
ern drama For long period we
have had Southern plays founded
upon one Of two subjects. The civil
war, or the moonshiner. Lottie Blair
Parker, the author Of "Under South;
ern Skies" has chosen a different
theme and it was evidently a well
come change to theatergoers, for they
have patronized the play 50 literally
that it is now playing it's eighth sea-
son, and everywhere to crowded
houses. Mrs. Parker's theme in "Un-
der Southern Skies is a story of love
and of suffering. It moves the spec
tator to sympathy and tears. But the,
setting of the story, the manner in
which it is told, is what constitutes
the delightful charm Of the play and
! takes people to see it over and over
again. Under Southern Skies" not
withstanding the tenseness and pathoss
of it's theme is full of entertainment;
and laughter as many plays whose
! only aim is to anuse.. So deftly are
the laughs mingled with the tears
! that an effort Of pure nature is pro.
duced which is as fascinating as it
Is unusual in plays. "A more than
usually large cast is necessary to por-
tray the characters in "Under South

wholly or in part, in order to help in
the quelling Of popular distrust and
the undermining Of confidence in all
banking institutions.
No Delay for Dopositors.
; It is quite apparent that under
guarantee Of deposits there would be
no alteration Of conditions affecting
banks now, 80 far as concerns espion-
age maintained by one over another.
The important difference, however,
would be that depositors would not be
subject to the annoying, often dfsas-
trous, delays in getting their money
which now they experience when
banks fail.
But, that fewer failures would oc-
suits Of such a law. Everyone knows
that many runs are precpitated on
banks which are absolutely sound.
Many a man, faithful, safe, conserva
tive, conscientious in caring for the
money Of his depositors, has suffered
runs caused by some rumor started
through malice. Many an honest
banker has had his heart broken By
senseless runs, and has groaned in
spirit as he realized that gross intus-
tfce has been done as reward for ear
nest and able keeping Of the trust re-
posed in him by his depositors.
The Barring Failure.
When 4 dozen years ago, Barring
Brothers. Of London, suspended, It was
due to that very espionage by other
bankers to which Mr.. Gage refers.
The Barings had embarked in many
South American enterprises, some Of
which were manifestly unsafe.
The governors Of the Bank Of Eng
land, sensing the danger, refused to
accept securities backed by them as
basis for the issuance Of bank notes
under the custom Of that country; that
action never has been adversely criti-
cized in any country, although 1t has
been discussed ever since the world
over.
Modern business is conducted on the
basis for the issuance Of bank notes
tie actual money passes from hand to
hand.
Modern System of Credits.
You go to your bank with bundle
Of checks and drafts and deposit them
to your credit. Against that account
thus opened, you draw checks. They
pass into the world Of business, are
accepted at face value, and circu-
late virtually as does gold, silver and
currency. If you pay your bills in
checks, often you pass through weeks
at time when you have only a rifle
Of loose change in your pocket for
street car fare and the small things
you need from day to day costing too
little to bother to draw a check.
"A check cancelled is a voucher"
has become a maxim in the business
world.

SCRIBE A. Booth & Co., the concern
which virtually monopolizes the fish
business in the west. 4 director of
Swift Il Co, ridiculed the story on
the ground that two industrials could

Armor & Co, said there was not the
slightest foundation for the reports.
There is nc present or prospective
idea of such a deal" he said. we

1t appears that the idea of CONSOLE

fact that p. A. Valentine was recently

The Democratic convention yester-
day was a good deal of a joke in
more ways than one. In the first
place, its work was entirely a matter
of form. Its ticket stands no show
of overcoming the big Republican
majority which White Pine has and
the bother of naming it might as well
have been saved. In view of which
the strenuous times the machine has
been having and the rumpus that has
been stirred up in the bowels of the
local Democracy might as we'll have
been avoided.

vantage, however, over the men
named by the Republicans on Tues
day, in ability or in any other man

principles which mean much to the
advantage of county, state and ma
ton. Also behind them are a great
many men in this county who be-
lieve that these principles are right
and that for the best interests of all
they should have hearty endorse

around 500 in excess OF the Demo-

strength that in this campaign is
pledged to Organism, which is one
thing today and another tomorrow,

They are men who have demonstrat-

duct of their own affairs. They have
acquaintance with the county and its
needs and come from different local

Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Nicholson will COM
pose a working body that will see to
it that public improvements are Sc
cured and that the business affairs
of the county are conducted in a man

also see TO it that every part of the
county gets a fair share of the public

They are on a platform declaring for

plish a great deal for the betterment
of conditions in the county.
