Exceptionally Good Clearing
House Statement Issued
for the Week

Millions Ahead of Last
Previous Report

Rejecting the general situation
commercially, the bank clearings OF
San Francisco are again in the ascend
ant. amounting. for the week ending
at noon Thursday, to $36, ,367, ,443-S7-
Not only is this a gain of more than
s3.500.000 over the rather small clear
ing house total last week. but this
weeks figure is nearly s1,00O,000 great
er than the clearings reported two
weeks ago. at a time when the banks
had been clearing a greater volume for
four consecutive weeks; in other words,
the figure for the week just ended
shows gain for the fifth time in six
weeks. AS a holiday entered into the
corresponding week last year. no COM
parfsons are available in San Fran
cisco or the other California cities: the
bank ciearlngs for the five. day week
last year were s36,794.240.26.
Los Angeles bank clearings for the
week just ended were $S,149.955, sew
eral hundred thousand dollars less than
a week ago; for the short week COR
responding in 1907 the clearings totaled
$S,779.868. Oakland banks show a gain
of nearly $1.000,000 over last week, the
figure being $1,404,939.67; in 1907. for
the five day week. the record was
S2,154.5 4.566.65.
The California Promotion commit
tees weekly report also shows the clear
ings OF the smaller California cities
which have duly organized financial in
stitutions of the kind. San Jose banks
cleared s469,S57.22; for the short week
in 1907 the. clearings were s459.296.47.
Stockton banks reported clearings of
s591,070.26 for the week, while for the
corresponding week last year, one of
the first weeks in the history of the
clearing house, the figure was $780,
263.59. Following are the clearings of
the other cities, where the official
clearing house proceedings have been
installed within the year: Sacramento,
1882, ,505.67; San Diego, S784,642.75:
Fresno. s465.786.16. Adding together
the weeks business in the eight cities
a grand total of s4s.os6. .2o0.6O is given.

 Politically speaking Mir. Noll does not care to be quoted. He has a lean- ing toward Taft but he belongs to the Bryan church so he don't care a whole lot who is elected. He says that in the east the talk all seems to be about prohibitions: not that anybody expects the prohibition ticket to be elected but because the issue has some weight and is being used by the old parties where it can serve a purpose. The democrats expect to carry Indiana but are giving all possible prominence to prohibition to incline anti-whiskey republicans that way. In Ohio they are rather endorsing prohibition to pull strength to their party. The issue is cutting considerable figure in the state campaigns and furnishes a subject for much political gossip though actual prohibition success is not dreamed of to any such extent as the securing of the offices.

Social Distinctions.

At noontime when the twenty odd
men employed ON the excavations for
a new building stopped work for lur-
cheon a man who had bsen interested
in their progress noticed that they
separated into little groups. Upon
inquiry he found that the reason for
this clannishness was class distinc-
tion as rigidly observed as in "socie-
ty" itself. Driver fraternized with
driver, engineer with engineer, shov.
eler with shoveler.

Woman's Claim On Glacier.

Mrs. Mary E. Hart, formerly of Los
Angeles, who has just returned to
Seattle after visiting Alaska, has the
distinction of being the first person
TO stake out a mining claim IN a
glacier while it was still in action.
Sidney Noise, with the local arehi-
tect firm of Hunt & Gray, was on
board the Seattle, which has just re-
turned from trip to the Klondike,
and he states that for the first time
in nine years passengers were able
to make landing at Muir Glacier,
near Skagway.
The glacier Is considered far from
safe, but Mrs. Hart, with natural love
of adventure. stepped triumphantly
ashore and was followed by others
eager for the experience of landing
upon the forbidding ice field.
1t was found that the moraine, a
deposit freighted with precious ore
which is always carried with the ice
In this section, had already become
quite solid, and Mrs. Hart forthwith
staked out claim.
Mrs, Hart has passed a number oi
years in Alaska and is conversant
with the mining situation there, hav.
ing owned and superintended the
work in several claims. In order tc
gain experience she at one time
worked with pick in her own mine
