PROTECTING DEPOSITS IN BANKS.
An Ohio Example Of Taft's Position
and okIahoma's Proof Of eryan's
Position.

one OF the plankS OF the Denver
platform favors guaranteed bank de.
posits. Mr.. Bryan addressed the Ohio
legislature in February favoring guar
anteed deposits. Former Governor
Herrick subsequently addressed the
legislature in reply to Mr.. Bryan. op-
posing any such protection for banks
and bank depositors.
Mr.. Taft, in his speech of accep-
lance, denounced the plank of the
Denver platform, which declares for
a national law for banks similar to
the Oklahoma law for state banks,
thereby coinciding in the views of Mr..
Herrick and opposing the views Of Mr.
Bryan.
Below are two dispatches showing
what Mr.. Bryan stands for and what
Mr.. Taft stands for:
THE OHIO WAY.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 1.-THE cred
itors' committee charged with an in
vestigation of the affairs of the de-
funct Farmers and Merchants bank,
the cashier of which, Henry w. Ga
zell, is under arrest charged with en-
bezzlement, tonight reported that the
depositors will be forced to shoulder
a loss Of $415,O00.
The report, made in meeting of
$500 depositors, charged the deficit to
Gazell, alleging his speculations
proved disastrous to the institution.
TAFT STANDS FOR THIS.
THE OKLAHOMA WAY.
Guthrie. OKLA, May 21.-Within one
hour from the time H. H. Smock, Ok
lahoma banking commission, had
taken charge of the International
Bank of Colgate he had authority to
pay the depositors in full, though
the banks cash and available funds
in other banks fell $4,000 short of
the total amount Of deposits. The
commissioner was able to do this I'M
der the operation of the new banking
law, and this is the first time 1t has
been called into use.
BRYAN STANDS FOR THIS.

We indorse the administration of
Governor Hughes, who has shown
himself a courageous executive, re-
solved to accomplish what he be-

be the freest action in the selection
of the delegates we favor legislation

Are Returning

DULUTH, Sept. 16.-While forest
fires are still burning along the
north shore. it is believed they have
passed the danger point so far as
the threatened destruction of VIII
lagos is concerned. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of good
timber is being destroyed, however.
Grand Marais. Chicago Bay Hove
land. Big Bay. Pigeon river and
other smaller settlements Immediate
ly along the shore are thought to be
safe On the Meseba range the
flames are no longer considered dan
gerous TO the different towns.
\ downpour of rain would put an
end to the flames.
The refugees picked up at different
points along the shore and taken to
Grand Marais have returned to their

GOVERNMENT BLUNDERS.
Discontinuance of Mail Route Be-
tween Aurum and Muncy De-
pfiVes I:SO Persons.

\ petition carrying the names of
l9 signers. residents OF Muncy
Creek and Aurum. was received last
evening by CASTOR Olsen of Muncy,
who is now here. asking that the mail
route between Osceola. Aurum and
Muncy be re-established The petit
tion will be forwarded to the post
office department by Mr.. Olsen today.
On September | the service which
had to that time been conducted for
a number of years with three stages
a week, was suddenly stopped, for
what reason no one seems TO know.
There are various rumors as to the
cause, one being that because the
mail weight. of | , sacks as an aver
age, going and coming, was given to
other portions of the route, presuma-
bly, between Cherry Creek and Os-
ceola and for this reason ii did not
appear on the government reports
that anyone was being served by the
Aurum mail stage.
This is fallaey, however, as
there are more than 1870 persons who
received their mail by It, 1t is ex-
pected that as soon MS the petition
reaches the department the mail
route will be re-established. At
present many of the residents of the
district are put to great inconyen-
fence, in some cases having To go
several miles for their mail.

a proposition to increase the capitali-
zation Of the concern from $250,000
to $750,000 will be voted upon.
The cost of the land, of the con-
struction of the immense power canal
and the erection of the pumping ma
chlnery and other work of the COM
pany has been more than 100000 up
to date and it is more than probable
that the extension Of the scope of the
project is planned.
Among visitors to Hanford last
week were Samuel Hill, w. ]. Hill
goss. of st. Paul, one of Hills chief
land appraisers. and n. w. Miller,
chief construction engineer of the
North Bank railroad, and each Of
them spent several days going over
the territory to be watered and in
spectlng the plant.
There Is no doubt that Hill intends
the North Bank road from Pasco via
the Columbia to point Of junction
with the Great Northern system, and
this would give the easy grade road
down the river to Vancouver the
chance to handle economically practi-
cally all OF the heavy freight destined
for tidewater originating in the state
of Washington. Incidentally, the road
would pass through White Bluffs,
Hanford and the growing settlements
