WHAT THE KIDNEYS WILL DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
OF impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure
matter Is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout. gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy. deposit in the urine. etc. But
il you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.

Statement from III Private and
State Banlss-TOtal Deposits With

-wItbdrawpls Have Been Light.

State Bank Examiner James Steel
has prepared a statement of the con-
dition of state and private banks at
the close of business December 3,
1907 says the Portland Telegram.
According to the best information the
examiner has received there were 1874
state and private banks In Oregon on
that date, and of these III reported
and 90 declined.
Steel made his first canvass Au-
gust 2S, when there were 141 state
and private banks, 1O5 reporting,
seven branch banks not reporting,
five new banks not reporting, IL ig-
noring the examiners request for a
statement

porting December 2 amounted to

There are IS national banks in the
state and these with the III state and
private banks reporting December 3.
show individual deposits aggregating
$56.6S9,45261. Loans OF the national
banks amounted to $40, 1850 O.353.33, so
that with the state banks there were
$40,2S9,630.20 loans and discounts.
The national banks had $3,63O,257.S2
in securities and bonds. not includ-
ing United states bonds to secure cir
culation, deposits. premiums, 8 pei
cent redemption fund and due from
the United States treasurer
Compared with the statement of
August 22. the state and private
banks show a big increase in cash on
hand, exchanges for clearing house
real estate. banking premises and fix
lures and reduction in overdrafts.
The statistics compiled by State
Bank Examiner Steel are voluntary
on the part of the state and private
banks. rs the law compelling them
to make the statements is not yet in
effect. 1t will be noted that only a
few refused TO supply the data re.
quested, for Steel can only request
at present and not demand the re.
ports.
In the statement Of August and De-
cember the period before and during
the financial stringency is covered,
yet the December report of the state
and private banks shows a healthy
condition and the banks are i'm excel
lent condition. The December report
discloses withdrawal OF $4,000. 900
indiv dual deposits, divided among
III banks, making an average with
drawal of but $4,000 for each inst-
tuition. This is a better record than
that made by the national banks, of
which there are 80 and they ran off
sc, 000. 900. or an average of $l0S,O00.

Department VIII Try New Plan in In
dian Schools on Nez Perce Reser-
walton.
The first action looking toward
the abolishment of the government
boarding schools for the education OF
the youth Of the Nez Perce tribe is
now being taken by the Indian de-
partment in selecting a site In the
vicinity OF Kamiah for the establish
ment OF a day school for the Indians
Of that section, says the Lewiston
Teller
The matter has been before the de-
partment for some time, and action
has been finally taken by advising In
dian Agent Lipps to investigate the
condition at Kamiah and II a suf-
ficient number of pupils can be Sc
cured for the successful operation Of
day school there, 1t is understood
the department will not be adverse
to such action.
The question Of disseminating the
boarding school will be determined by
the result Of the day school venture,
and il Is generally understood that in
the event the day school plan meets
with the success which Is expected Of
H. other such schools will be estab-
lished at favorable points on the res
ervation and the boarding school at
Fort Lapwai discontinued.
IT is stated this policy is but a con-
tinuatlon of the position taken by the
Indian department as possible. The
department is encouraging the Indian
to transact his own business and ex-
poets eventually for him to conduct
his own schools.

nized as a common belonging
to the Pueblo Indians, and
that these had assigned it
to an American, Charles Bent,
who afterward became the
first American Governor of
the Territory. After a year
or two of dispute, Armijo
was reinstated as Governor,
and Beaubien and Miranda
were confirmed in the pos
session of their grant, which
was explicitly stated to con-
tain not more than fifteen
to eighteen square leagues,
or. roughly, from sixty-siX
thousand to eighty thousand
acres. In 1916, Beaubien
purchased Miranda's interest
and became sole owner.
About that time, Lucien
Benjamin Maxwell drifted

began herding sheep on a

cused him of cheating; but it seemed impossible

stayed with him.
In 1864 Charles Beaubien died, and Maxwell
purchased his rights from the heirs, becoming
thenceforth sole owner of the Maxwell Ranch, or
the Maxwell Land Grant, 1t was called thereafter.
He built baronial mansion at Cimarron, and began
entertaining in style and on scale that have never
since been emuated in the Southwest. Expense

SO that the Maxwell mansion became the stopping
place for every traveller, frelghter, and fugitive
that passed through that part OF the country.
Plates always laid in anticipation of twenty
and often the tables had to be prepared second
time. Most of the apartments were fitted up IN
the most lavish manner possible in the prevailing
Mexican style but several were devoid of any
furnishing tables, chairs, and cards.
Every year the gambling mania that possessed
Maxwell became more acute, until he seemed unable
amusement 1t said that he always kept from
twenty-five thousand to fifty thousand dollars IN
gold and silver coin in drawers about the house He
never knew how much money he had, never kept
track of the number of his sheep, and never knew
how much he realized from his wool clip. That he
was robbed habitually by both guests and en-
poyees everyone believed; but whether this was
true not he neither knew cared
With the acquisition of the land grant, his sheep
given ample grazing ground and multiplied
until they numbered tens of thousands. Soon the
grant as defined by Miranda and Beaubien was per-
ceved to be entirely too small, and Maxwell began
to make indefinite claims to the possession of vast
principaty. stating that the grant really conveyed
all lands drained by the Red River and its tribu
taries. He possessed both the nerve and the power
enforce his claims, that no one cared to dis
pute them. His MexCans completely enthraed
by the prevailing system of peonage; but they were
closely bound to him by ties OF self interest
and personal attachment He never refused them
anything they asked for, and whatever they were
unwilling ask for they stole. They all loved him,
and they all robbed him. There was not one who
would not have fought for him, or who would have
hesitated to assassinate anyone who trespassed
upon lands claimed by him. or made any attempt
to question his pretensions. He was literally mon
arch of all he surveyed.
Then gold discovered at ElZabethtown.
Maxwell didn't need it; but that reason why
he shouldn't have it. He felt of his ability to
establish his claim by the right of might, to barony
greater in extent than some of the Kingdoms OF
Europe. So he spent fortune building tume

is deserving of mention in this category, not on
account of anything he accomplished, nor even
account of anything he attempted, but because
of his association with Aaron Burr the most over
rated of American adventures. He a native
of Prussia, and served under Frederick the Great.
Then he went to Spain, entered the royal service
there, and was sent special mission to Mexico.
While Louisiana still under the dominion of
Spain, he obtained a grant of land, comprising
thirty miles square, between the Mississippi
and the Red Rivers.
Then he fell in with Aaron Burr and per-
suaded to cede to that prince of confidence men
four hundred thousand acres. This Burr intended
to nucleus upon which to plant colony,
