Certainly nothing could be more

.FORPOSTAL Banks
A Bill Has Been introduced in Con-
gress Embodying the Postmas-
ter Generals Ideas.
A SAFE PLACE or DEPOSIT
Would Encourage Thrift and Keep
Money From. Being Hoarded-
Not subject to Legal Seiz-
ures or Taxation.


Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Knox
Wednesday introduced a bill to estab
lish a system OF postal savings
banks. The bill embodies the plan
outlined by Postmaster General Meyer
in his annual report and which he adj
vocated In public addresses being cal.
culated to encourage economy and
thrift and to afford place of deposit
free from any possibility of doubt for
vast sums of money which would be
otherwise boarded and kept out of cir
culation through ignorance or lack OF
confidence.
The bill authorizes the postmaster
general to establish a system of postal
savings banks comprised of such mon.
ey order Offices as he may designate
for that purpose.
Accounts may be opened and depos-
is made in any postal savings bank
established under this act by any per-
son Of the age of ten years or over
in his own name, by a married wo-
man in her own name and free from
any control or interference by her hus-
band, by a trustee as such on behalf
OF another person, by parent, guar
dian or other person for the benefit of
a child under ten years Of age, or by
any charitable or benevolent society
or association, provided that no per
son or organization shall have more
than one postal savings account, ex-
cept that trustee, parent, guardian
or ether person may have an individ-
ual account and an account In his rep
regentative capacity for each person
or child for whom he may be entitled
to open an account.
The bill further provides that such
postal banks shall receive deposits of
money In even dollars, with one dollar
as a minimum and postmasters are
required to make daily reports to the
postmaster general, who will forward
to the depositor written acknowl-
edgsment of its receipts. Deposits are
not liable to seizure or detention un-
der legal processes against the depos-
itor, and such funds are exempt from
taxation. Interest at the rate Of q
per cent per annum is allowed depos-
itors and the postmaster general is
authorized to place the money depos-
tied in postal savings banks in nation
al banks at rate Of interest satisfac-
tory to the secretary of the treasury.
These national repositories are to be
in the immediate vicinity Of postal
banks from which the money is drawn,
as safeguard against Capitalization
OF currency and as means Of facili-
tating the return Of money to the
channels OF trade. National banks are
prohibited from receiving any compen-
sation for cashing or collecting any
checks or any other services in con-
nection with postal banks. Withdraw
ais of deposits may be made at any
time subject to certain rules. The bill
carries an appropriation Of 100000
to give It effect.

STOESSEL GUILTY
The Grim Defender Of Port Arthur
Condemned 10 Death by a
Court-Martial.
WITH 4 PLEA FOR MERCY
The Sentence Was Pronounced for
surrendering the Fortress Before
All Means Of Defense Were
Exhausted.

1t. Petersburg, Feb, 21.--Lieutenant
General Stoessel was condemned to
death Thursday evening by a military
court for the surrender Of Port Arthur
td the Japanese.
..eneral Eock, who commanded the
fourth East Siberian division Of Port
Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for
disciplinary offense, which was not
connected with the surrender and Cen

Iert the court roaming on his sons
shoulder.
A public festival Is being organized
by the municipality of st. Petersburg
In honor Of the defenders of the fort
ress.
The passing OF the sentence Of death
upon Lieutenant General Stoessel is a
harsh and tragic ending to the career
Of this Russian commander, who three
years ago, was acclaimed around the
world as the "hero Of Port Arthur"
The general, who was decorated by
Emperor William Of Germany and
gallant defense Of the Port Arthur
honored by the Russian army for his
fortress, has now been tried and found
wanting In courage and capability by
his own people and sentenced to give
up ms lire TO the retisn OF army pres
tige
Captain Tsunoda, who, on behalf OF
General Nogi conducted the negotia-
lions for the surrender Of the fortress,
came out last summer with an open
letter In defense Of General Stoessel.
The Japanese captain painted a pitt
able picture of the conditions prevail
ing at Port Arthur. All proper food
was exhausted, he said, and the TO-
900 Russians under arms were In no
condition to fight. The key to the
fortress was gone when 1908 metre
HILL" was captured. General Stoes-
sci, according to the Japanese ohicer,
might have held out for a fortnight
longer, but the result would have been
an inevitable massacre in which 1t
would have been difficult to dlstin-
gulsh combatants from non-combat-
ants. In conclusion Captain Tsunc@l
said: a
"If others forget 1t, we remember
that Port Arthur cost us $4,000 lives
by gunfre alone. We dug 40 kilo-
meters OF parallels and expended 3d.
000, 900 rounds of AMMUNITION.
European history chronicles the
glorious equalization OF Port Arthur
and 1t is so considered in Japan. That
is why the emperor OF japan ordered
General Nogl to treat General stoes'
sci with all the honors due to gal
liant soldier.

Strike At coIdfieId.
Carson, New, Feb. 3.-The extra SEES,
sion of the Nevada legislature ad-
journed sine die Saturday. The fol
lowing resolution concluded the actual
work of the legislature:
Whereas, The legislature believes
the present industrial conditions at
Goldfleld to be detrimental to the best
interests of the state, enforcing idle
ness on many good citizens, and as 1t
appears that the restoration of the
former wage scale at Goldfield could
end the present controversy, be it
Resolved, That we believe that high
wages and good conditions secure a
high class of skilled labor, which re-
suits in CORRESPONDENCE low cost OF
production, thereby increasing the
profits to the mine owner; therefore,
we suggest and recommend that the
former scale of wages be restored to
the Goldfield miners and that a copy
be forwarded by the secretary of state
to the Mine Operators Association at
Go1dfield."
Both houses adopted the resolutions
without dissenting vote.

More Of those present would talk,
but 1t was stated un0fficially that the
subject which kept the steel men In
conference so long was q proposal to
reduce the price Of steel In general
and particularly the price Of steel rails,
because it is feared that In view OF
the financial depression, the railroads
yould not buy rails this year and would
postpone their extensions unless the
price OF steel was placed low enough
to make It an object for them to buy
now.

WALLA WALLA FARMERS
CLOSE BIG SACK CONTRACT

Walla Walla, Feb. 3.-The farmers
OF the Walla Walla country are in high
spirits over the termination of their
negotiations with the dealers In grain
sacks for their 1908 supply. At a
meeting Of the Farmers Cooperative
and Educational Union in this CITY con-
tracts were signed by large number
OF farmers for a total of 1885, 1856 Cal
cutta grain sacks at price OF Z 3-S
cents each, delivered at any railroad
station in Walla Walla county. This
is 5-8 cents less than the prevailing
price of the same sacks last year. and
l 5-S cents less than the price of the
product of the jute mill at the state
penitentiary last year.
A number of bidders were present at
the meeting and filed sealed bids with
the secretary after it was known how
many sacks were wanted. The bid of
j. q. Smith, representing Kerr, Clifford
q Co., was found to be the lowest,
and arrangements were made for the
payment and delivery. One-tenth of
the purchase price is to be paid down
and the balance upon delivery of the
sacks, between June Is and August /.
The number of sacks contracted for
represents a total expenditure on the
part of the farmers of $1O3, 1874, and
the cash payment will represent $1O,-
1927.
This is the first time for number
OF years that the farmers have been
able to secure their sacks at such a
low price, and their success will no
doubt stimulate the interest and men,
bership in the Cooperative and Educa-
tional Union throughout the grain
growing section of the Northwest.
Owing to the fact that only a small
part of the output of the penitentiary
jute mill is assigned for sale in each
county. the result of the meeting
means saving of nearly $4,000 to the
farmers of the Walla Walla valley. It
is estimated that it will require nearly
100000 sacks to care for the grain
this year, in the event of an average
crop.
