The District of Columbia. which was

of Congress that it didn't have its regular
day in the House from March % to May
50, the date of adjournment. will have
its first inning of the present session
next Monday. The District committee

to the fifteen now on the calendar and
left over" from last session.
Chairman Smith expects to get all fif-
teen of. these measures before the House
and disposed of, which he can do in the
event that no fight develops on one or
more Of them. But as. several, of the
bills are of more than ordinary interest
and Importance. it would seem, Judging
from previous performances. that even

local calendar will be swept clean.
Status of the Gas Bill.
Representative Cary of Wisconsin
author Of the bill to reduce the price oi
gas to the consumer in the District to ~
cents thousand cubic feet, is not in the
city. and may not be here this session
Chairman Smith received word the other
day that Mr.. Cary had suffered an attack
of nervous prOstration, and had beer
taken to a sanatorium. Mr.. Smith has
decided, in view Of this fact. either to put
the Cary bill in the hands of some othel
member of the committee or else take
care of it himself on the floor next Mon
day.
Two committee amendments to the Cary
bill fix January L. 1909. the time. wher
the maximum rate OF 30 cents shall &C
into effect. But this date was set at the
report, of the bill to the House last ses.
sion, and in the event of it's passage Mon.
day this limit probably will be extended
until next July or thereabouts. Another
committee amendment guards against
any deterioration of the quality Of the
gas 10 be furnished at the reduced rate
There are several members of the Dis.
trict committee who believe that the com
mittee took snap Judgment in fixing tho
maximum rate of gas at 81 cents. They
do not pretend to say that this price is
either too low or too high. but they. ir-
sist that IT 1t happens to be correct ther

peared to testify with respect to "a rea-

pointed out the fact that the east half of
the state contained all the natural adj
vantages for becoming the manufacturing
portion of the great lsw commonwealth.
He dweIt upon the many and varied re-
sources Of Vinita and her vicinity. He
demonstrated to the club that Vinita s
opportunity was now at hand, and though
apoogizing for presuming to advise such
a body of earnest looking town builders.
the Colonel gave some splendid advice
upon the necessity of concerted action in
order to make town. He said that many
sacrifices Of time and of money would be
necessary but that in time the financial
returns would amply repay for the present
sacrifices.
At the close of the address OF Colonel
Sleeper some Of the local orators took oc-
sasion to say some things along the line
Of making city. and before the meeting
came to close delirious enthusiasm
seemed to take hold Of the assembly. and
feeling of confidence in the future Of
vinita was aroused that ausurs well for
the advancement Of the citys interests.
After enjoying the refreshments and
the heart to heart talks; after extending a
vote Of thanks to Colonel Sleeper for con
descending to come and address the club,
and after a large number Of new members
had been added to the roster Of the clubs
working force, the meeting adjourned at
late hour and those who had attended
went their way feeling better toward
Vinita, their townsmen and themselves
Tor having been present to hear and take
part in the plans for a new era in town

NATIONAL BANKS
HAVE BIG Loss
Comptroller's Report Shows Decrease
Of $500, 900 in Deposits i'm
Oklahoma Banks.

Washington. Aug. S,-After the COM
pIetion Of the abstract Of conditions of the
national banks, showing an increase in
the aggregate individual deposits Of all
the banks during the period from May IA
TO July Is, the experts in the Office Of the
comptroller of the currency were interested
in checking up the situation with refer
ence to the national banks of Oklahoma
to observe what changes, if any, have
been caused in that state by the deposits
guaranty law.
1t is disclosed that comparing figures
on capital, deposits, aggregate resources
loans and discounts and cash items, the
Oklahoma national banks during the pc
Rod from December 3, 1907. TO May IA,
1908, made few changes.
Since the guaranty law went into effect
however, and comparing the conditions OF
the banks on July is with the showing
they made on May IA last. it is shown
that with one less bank in operation, the
deposits declined from $38,300,00O to
S36, 10000; aggregate resources from
$40, 100000 to $68,400,000, and the
cash items declined about $l,O00,00O. At
