Doris, Calf, Sept, 1908.

To the Editor-Herewith I am
sending you an article on the Phil
ippines which you are invited to
use in any way you may see best
1 belieev it would be very effective
if you could have your county
committee print off a large number
and scatter them broadcast.
1 spent nine years in the Philip
pine Islands in the newspaper and
banking business, and believe I
was in position to learn as much
of what was going on, and what
effect Taft's policy had upon the
interests of the Islands and their
people, as any man there. What
is stated above is on the authority
of my own knowledge and belief.
The reason I left the Islands
was the effect Taft's Postal Banks
had on my business as banker in
Zamboanga. The bank of Zam-
boanga was organized in May, 1905,
and prospered until the establish
ment of the Postal Banks. These
banks had the effect of gathering
up the money in circulation, and
as it was shipped to Manila our
section lost the use of fully so per
cent of the currency formerly in
circulation. This SO disturbed
business the bank, with great diff
ficulty, succeeded in collecting it's
notes. Under such conditions, it
became necessary to either wind
up the affairs of the bank or con-
duct business at loss. l closed
the doors of the bank of Zam-
boanga, April s, 1908, and returned
to California, establishing the
Butte Valley state bank at Doris,
of which l am president, July l.,
1908.
I am unable to see why Taft's
Postal banks, if established in this
country, will not have the effect
of driving out all small banks, as
it had in the Philippines. Every
postofice will become a depository.
The funds gathered up will not be
loaned where deposited, but will be
shipped to reserve centers and
loaned to the big banks, which in
turn will loan them to stock gam
blers who can afford to pay a
higher rate for money to gamble
on than legitimate business can
pay. Thus the rural communities
and small towns and cities will be
robbed of their currency and left
without the means to carry on
business.
On the other hand the Okla
homa law has proven, in practical
operation, most beneficial to the
small banks and at the same time
keeps the money of the people at
home. With the Oklahoma law
in force throughout the states a
panic would be impossible. Under
the Postal bank, as proposed by
Taft, 1 am unable to see how a
continuous panic could possibly
be avoided.
This I consider the paramount
issue of the campaign, and you
can do no better work than by
keeping the people alive to the
danger of Postal banks.
Very truly yours,
|

FAvORS FLINT BILL,
But President Has Warm seanee With
 Hsrriman's Attorney.

A conference was held Wednesday between President Roosevelt, Secre- tary Garfield of the Interior Depart ment, and Engineer Cory and Maxwell Evarts, the latter counsel for E. H. Hartman The object of the meeting was to hurry if possible, the passage of the bill to reimburse the Southern Pacific railway for repairing the break in the Colorado river. It was an nounced that as a result of the con ference, the President would write a letter to Chairman Miller of the House Committee on Claims, suggesting that the Flint bill be passed.
 A special despatch to the Los An geles Times says:
 Maxwell Evarts, attorney for E. Fl. Hartman, bolted out of the White House in a great state of excitement.
 He waved his arms beat his hands, talked in a loud and angry tone of voice and gave other evidences of thoroughly enraged man He was ac- companied by Senator Flint of Cali fornia and C. H. Cory
 It appears that Evarts had been having an unpleasant quarter of an hour in the Presidents cabinet room. When talking with the President about the matter today something happened which caused MT. Evarts to lose his temper and rush out of the White House like a mad bull. Nobody seems to know what was said to so upset Evarts, but it is reported that he be- he did not know what he was talking about

EUCALYPTUS PLANTING.

Eucalyptus trees should be planted in six-foot squares in the Imperial Valley where the water is cheap and easy to apply and with such rich soil. The cost of the trees will depend upon the market. Perhaps $1.5O to $20O per 100. Cultivation would cost about $2.00 an acre for the first two years and after that the only expense will be water and it's application.
 Five years would give timber that would give. about 5000 posts and an indefinite amount of stovewood per acre. These figures are based on the Red Gum, Eucalyptus Rostrata-J. w. Mills.

VALUE OF EUCALYPTUS.
Depends Upon sswmIlls aad Available
 Markets.

A rancher writes to the Rural Press: will you kindly inform me what mar ket there is for logs of the rostrata or red gum. It costs about $3 per cord to work it into stove wood, which is worth about $4 OR the ranch corded up. Where does the big profit come in as figured out in articles appearing at different times in your columns? |? If there is market for the logs, want to know it."
 The editor says: We have put in warning notes frequently in connec- tion with the high values of eucalyp- tus timber which writers make use of. It seems to us that they need, for their attainment, a sawmill, lum- Der yard, and hustling salesman, and all these cannot be supplied on every ranch. Except in a few places, per haps, these figures on the value of gum logs seem to us prophetic rather than actual"

A NATIONAL HERO,

III Major Andrew S. Rowan Fort
Douglas has a man distinguished by
one of the most arduolls and difficult
enterprises committed to one single in.
dividual during the late war and also
as being the hero of story which has
become known as a text book for col
leges. a motto for the military camps,
a theme for clergy men and reference
of general heroism for orators through
out the English speaking world. 1t is the
famous Message to Garcia, written by
Ebert Hubbard and having for its
chief note the enterprise of Maj Row
an, at that time lieutenant and en-
ployed In the military information
bureau, in carrying to the leader of the
Cuban Insurgents at the beginning of
the SpanlshAmerican war an import
ant message delivered by the depart
ment of war. in relation to the coop
GRAFTON of the insurgent forces with
the American army.
The beginning sentences of Hub
bard's story best illustrate the charac-
ter OF the man now stationed at the
local post. They read as follows:
In all this Cuban business there ls
one man who stands out on the hori-
Non of my memory like Mars at peri
fhelion. When war broke out between
Spain and the United States, it was
very necessary to communicate quick
sly with the leader of the insurgents.
