According to the story Of Peyton's S

shot by 13-year-old Indian lad,

the Indians they were under arrest,
one of them grabbed the officer by

Washington, Oct. 23.-The alb
stract of the report of the condition
of 1858 national banks under call
issued by the comptroller OF the
currency for statements on Septem-
Der 23, 1908, issued today, furnish
ed evidence, in the opinion of treas
ury department officials, OF vastly
improved business conditions.
The five principal items in the re-
turns show that since February IA,
1908, the loans and deposits in the
national banks of the country have
increased from $4,422,353,647 to
a difference in a lit
tie over seven months of about $328,-
600, 900, and during the same per-
iod the total resources of national
banks have increased $631, 900, 900.

1t is presumed that if very large
vote is polled the various boards
will hardly be able to furnish early
returns. and if there should be much
cutting done by the voters of the
county the work would be consider
ably complicated.

ocratic ticket has the place of honor
and the republican ticket comes sec
ond
The other tickets come in this or
der: Prohibition party, socialist par
ty, socialist labor party, peoples par
ty and Independent party.
The socialist labor party ticket has
five candidates for state offices, and
only two presidential electors. The
republican ticket has state and eoun-
ty candidates, but no candidates for
precinct offices. The only candidate
for state office on the prohibition
ticket is Ed Rogers for lieutenant
governor. G. H. Wilson for lieutenant
governor is also the only state can
didate on the independent party
ticket. The peoples party ticket has
no candidates for state offices. The

EPLUMs ARE ALSO NEW ARRIVALS

PRICE IS REASONABLE
Market GIutted With Hood River

Billings produce merchants are
tempting lovers OF good things to eat
with big luscious cantaloupe-the
first in the local market this season.
Muskmelons have also made their ap-
pearance In the market. Despite the
fact that they are the seasons first,
the price is far from prohibitive. They
sell for 20scents q pound, two pounds

lar.
Plums, the dark colored ones from
California. are another feature Of the
fruit market. Being new arrivals the
price Is probably at the highest but
at so cents q basket or is cents a
pound they are not bad.
The apricots received this week, are
ripper than those which preceded them
last week and sell at the same price
as plums. The Hood River straw
berry season is now at its height and
the market is fairly glutted with
these--the best Of all berries outside
OF the home grown.
But few crates Of the home grown
berries have been placed on the maj.
ket, although 1t is known that the
valley ranchers are raising more than
ever before this season. Those which
have been brought In were III big de.
mand and superior in size and flavor
to any yet shown. Owing to the linn
tied supply dealers will not quote

P%ineapples, the largest and best
vet. arg, in demand at 25 cents apiece.
There has been a material reduction
in the price. Of cherries, which are
selling at 80 cents a pound or 50 a
box this week. Watermelons are
selling for much less than a week
ago also and the dealers are asking
four and a half cents a pound.
The vegetable market is featureless
SO far as new arrivals are concerned.
New carrots, beets and turnips-
homo grown-are quoted at four
pounds for a quarter. twenty-five
cents will also buy four pounds Of
new potatoes, which are larger in
size as the season progresses. Three
lunches for q dime is the price Of ex-
ira large red and white radishes, and
home grown onions. Lettuce is quot
ed at 20 cents a pound.
