BARS LET DOWN TO
ALL ROAD HOUSES
Practically no Restrictions to Sale Of
Liquor Outside Incorporated
Towns.

TACOMA, July 17.-.-County Prose
cutting Attorney J. l.. McMurray to-
day notified Pierce county legislators
of the act of the last legislature in
repeating the liquor statutes so that
outside of the corporate limits OF cit
les there are no restrictions beyond
the nominal government and state re-
gulations Mr.. McMarray had his
attention drawn to the blunder of the
legislature by Prosecuting Attorney
Augustus Brawley, of Skagit county,
who has written all the prosecuting
attorneys of the state urging their CO.
operation in demanding that the leg
islators shall repair the breach.
McMurray says tha- road houses
and saloons can now spring up any
where in the state and snap their
fingers at the county commissioners,
who may desire to prohibit their be-
ing planted in certain localities. Nc
Murray believes the legislature at the
reopening of the special session can
heal all the defects OF the law if
bill is framed at once.

GOWNS COST FALLS
ON COUNTY. SAYS THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL

VANCOUVER, Wash, July 16.--
Judge w. w. McCredie, of the su-
perior court of this district, has re-
ceved letter from Attorney General
w. b. Bell in regard to his not wear
ing gown when hearing causes in
court. The judge holds that the
state or county should pay for the
gown, and has not refused to wear
one. However, the attorney general
is of the opinion that the county COM
missiOners should pay for the gown,
the same as it would for any other ex-
pense incurred by the Judge, in the
official performance of his duties. The
judge has asked the county commits
sioners if they would approve a bill
for gown, and they have replied
that they would not. When asked
what he would advise the commits
sioners to do concerning the propo-
sition, County Attorney J. P. Staple
ton stated that he would advise them
to not approve such bill.

A TOTEM POLE
Indian Jimmy Has Fine One on Elk.
hibition at City Hall. Will Raj
file It Off.

One of the best Totem poles ever
seen in this city was brought to the
City hall Thursday and set up fer
exhibition by Jimmy" a we'll known
Siwash character. Jimmy got Mayor
Benn's permission to place his fam
lily tree at the city hall and is now
trying to dispose of it by the rattle
method.
The pole is an ingenious piece of
work, being hewed out of a solid
log with the crudest of tools, though
some of the figures are excellent.
Jimmy is evidently believer in the
Darwin theory, for the first figure
on his genealogical pole is thac of
a whale, indicating no doubt, that
he is a descendant of that tishy Mann
mel. The rest of his ancestory are
represented by carvings of varying
hideousness and the whole is crown
ed by Il huge duck with wings part
ly extended.

TRIES AGAIN TO DESERT BABE
Mrs. Brunk Walks to Montesano Car
rying Baby Boy-Thought to Be
Insane.

Mrs. Brunk, who was apprehend-
ed by the police last Tuesday while
attempting to desert her young baby,
again attempted to desert the infant
by walking all the way to Montesano
carrying her oldest child. Mrs.
Brunk had been taken to her faith
er's ranch, on the Wishkah, but last
Thursday leaving the youngest child
with her parents and promising to
return, she set out and walked near
ly to Montesano, when she was taken
up by the authorities and returned to
Aberdeen on Friday.
The woman it is believed is of un-
sound mind, but as she has found
a home with family in Aberdeen,
no charges will be brought against
her. However, an effort is being
made to find home for the babies.

THE BARNARD AND

stretches and crows over nothings as
though he was ever the big 1T.
BY the middle of each night, the
ROSTERS self-consciousness, rises to
such high point that he has to open
up his crow-safety valve, or burst;
SO he "whoops it up for all cre-

in evidence; when the farmers wife

crows as if he was the provider for

The men who do great things in
this world are too busy to talk about
them. Many men go through life on
the Peruna plan; they dope them
selves with many bottles of the
medicine for little output of bene-
fit. They get "swelled up" over their
own personality, so they dilate about
themselves fully 200 per cent over

We meet men repeatedly that we
consider good for while, because
they repeatedly admit and insist they
are good-but in due time we seldom
fail to find out they are mistaken;
they simply forgot to put about four
cipher symbols before the word
good" No man should strain him
self to show that he is a smart man
or a good man, for he is sure to be
found out. Simply do the best you
can and let it go at that-at any
rate, don't flop your wings and crow

to raise balloons, but poor stuff to
keep them up. The person who has
the perennial habit of growing, brag-
ging and strutting about all things
that concern himself, also has the
habit of 'petering out when the

In a newspaper interview ATTAINED

that he will be present at the meet

leaders, he says. 'are on salary

evil influences over the legislature
and the judiciary of this state
The attorney AYERS that such men
ARE enabled to do business and Sc
cure justice behind closed doors,
which, for such purposes, are barred
to other lawyers
Through the newspapers" he
says, Il have read a number of state
ments concerning the action Of the
State Bar Association may take at
it's next meeting, and that | was one
of those who might be hauled over
the Goals because of the statements
l made during the last campaign
against Root and Grow.
"Whatever l did or said by way
of criticism was open and candid,
made to the public in public, and /
confined my discussion to the unfit
ness of Root and Crow, who were
candidates, but if the Bar Association
proposes to organize itself into a
high court of impeachment and bring
before it all the lawyers in this state
who have criticised one or more men,
bers of the supreme court, Aberdeen
will enjoy an extended session, and |
have no doubt that it will be exceed
ingly interesting.
THAT we have crooked jurists in
this state is because the members of
the legal fraternity have failed to
exercise proper courage in demandins;
a clean judiciary and criticising
judges for unseemly conduct"

SEEKERS OF LAND
NUMBER 5000
First Three Days Of Application for
Reservation Lands Fails to
Stem Tide.

SPOKANE, July 1.-THE number
of applications for reservation lands
today was somewhat smaller than on
the preceding days, not only hero, but
in Coeur d'Alene and Missoula, while
Kalispel about $500 applications
were filed; in Coeur dAlene, $500;
in Missoula, 1900, and in Kalispell
800. The total for three days in
Spokane and Coeur d'Alene is little
more than 23,0O each.
The crowds at the hotels are easing
off, and it appears that many persons
who have come West to file are pass
ing through to Seattle to see the ex-
position and are planning to apply on
their way back.
At Coeur d'Alene, where serious
trouble among the notaries was
threatened, an agreement has been
reached whereby all will ct together
Danish competition and pool receipts
Notaries here say that about one
out every ten applicants is woman,
in almost all cases from the east,
seeking a home in the west. Many
of the men who apply look upon il as
a huge gamble. The women, how
ever, are in earnest. Wisconsin, Min
nesOta, Illinois and Iowa, are the out
side states most largely represented,
though Oregon and Washington lead.
The grand total for three days of re-
gistration is about $4,000.

the platform on what he under
stood to be the principle of protec-
tion and its justification, namely.
that after an industry was protected
by duty equal to the difference
between the cost of production
abroad and the cost of production in
this country, including fair prof
it to the manufacturer, the energy
and enterprise of American business
men and capitalists, the effectiveness
OF American labor and the ingenu-
ity of American inventors under the
impulse of competition behind the
tariff wall would reduce the cost of
production, and that with reduction
of the cost of production the tariff
rate would become unnecessarily
high and ought to be reduced
Question of Fact.
This was the general opinion of
the tariff, as claimed by the defend
ers of the protective system-not in
every case. but as a general rule
that of course a revision of the tariff
could not be perfect, must have de-
fects and inconsistencies, but insofar
as his influence went when called up
on to act in connection with legisla-
tiOn, it would be thrown in the d.
rectiOn of performing the promises
of the party as he understood them
and that if iron ore and oil and coal
and hides did not need protection and
the conditions were such as to enable
the home producers of hides to com.
pete successfully without reduction
of wages with the producers from
abroad, then they did not need a duty
and their articles should go on the
free list.
1T was a question of fact with
respect to which he hoped to make
up his mind on such evidence as was
available to him in order to carry
out what he understood to be the
promises Of the party to the whole
people. He said he felt that his po-
sition as the titular head of the Re-
publican party and as president gave
him somewhat broader point of
view than that of any member of
congress in respect to articles pro-
duced in his single district. He felt
strongly the call for downward re-
vision within the limitations of the
protective principle, and he hoped to
be able to respond to that call as
he heard it, as well in the interests
of the party as that of the country"

THE MONETARY COMMISSION.
Interesting Facts and Figures About
the Country's Banks, Both
National and State.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The mon
etary commission, sof which Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island is chairman,
is preparing an exhaustive report of
its Investigations into the financial
resources of the country. It's COM
pilation is designed to show the ex-
act condition of banks at the close
of business on April %, 1909.
Practically every incorporated bank
in the country furnished the COM
mission a report for it's investiga-
ton, and a large number of private
institutions also provided data. The
compilation comprises the most COM
plete and comprehensive information
relating to banks in the United States
ever printed. The banks reporting
include $3.50 national banks, H.
319 state banks, 1903 mutual and
stock savings banks, 1,497 private
banks and 1,097 loan and trust COM
panies. The total resources of all
these institutions are more than
>.
A brief analysis of the resources
and liabilities shows loans of $11,-
373, 000,000 investments in bonds,
ETC., S4,614, 100000; due from banks,
$2,562, 000,000; cash on hand, in
Guiding $500, 100000 in gold coin
and certificates amounting to ST.
092, 000,000; capital, $1,S00,000,-
600; surplus and profits, $1,835, 000,-
600; due to banks, $2,4S4,O0O,0 900;
deposits, $14, 100000, including
government deposits and other liza
bilities of 100000.
Of the deposits Sc, 100000 are
subject to check, $4,926, 100000 are
savings deposits, $1,212, 100000 are
on time and 1925, 100000 consist of
demand certificates.
The total deposits in these banks
on or about June 80, 1909, were
$13,595, 100000 credited to over 25,-
100000 depositors, ranging from 81
upward. Nearly fifteen million de-
positors held savings or time &C
counts. The average rate of inter-
est paid on savings accounts is 3.5 5
per cent and 80 on other savings
accounts.
Over 40 per cent. of the banks pay
no interest on ordinary deposits.
The number of banks has more than
doubled since 1900, and the commits
sion's report includes 1,145 more
than were reported to the comptroller
in 1908.

Largest of All Irrigation Schemes Is

Engineers are now engaged in the
Sacramento valley on the largest of
all the schemes planned by the gov
eminent. It's ultimate object is to
control the flow from watershed of
over 1000 square miles, and to inn
prove the two great rivers in Cali
fornia. When the task is completed
over 100000 acres of rich land, at
present dry and sunbaked during
eight months of the year, will have
been brought under irrigation, and
large areas of bottom land, at pres
ent subject to annual overflow and
great destruction by the floods, will
have been reclaimed. The work will
involve the control of sufficient wa
ter power over the greater part of
the Sacramento valley, which extends
for $50 miles from Mt. Shasta to San
Francisco bay, and at its widest part
reaches about 100 miles from mount
ain range to mountain range.

DOWN TO A POSTAGE STAMP
There Are Men in Hard Luck Who
Try to Get Cash For the Lit

The clerk at the stamp window of

pushed back scent stamp that had
been offered to him.
Sorry" he said. "You can't buy

The man who had rendered the
stamp looked disappointed, but went
away without word, and the clerk
turned to a friend who had been
Longing near the window.
You'd be surprised to know" he
said, how many people try to cash
in stamps here. Some want me to
buy them back at their face value,
Others want stamps of a lower de-
nomination, like that fellow. But
I've never had a man ask me for
two scent stamps for a 10, or two
rs and a 1 for a s. They all want
to realize few cents in actual
money"
That's queer" said the friend.
"Can you explain it?'
They're down and out" answered
the clerk. They dig up some old
postage stamps they've been carry
ing in their pockets for weeks, per-
haps, and try to raise enough on
them to buy q frankfurter and roll
or a loaf of bread. | know what

to turn him down, as the department
instructs me to do every time, but
he seemed to be so anxious to get
that single cent back in change that
took it out of my own pocket and
gave it to him.

about him. The next morning | hap

best to make amends by buying a
breakfast for him, and he told me
the story of that stamp. 1t seems
that he had been reduced to 4 cents
and a 2-cent stamp. There's a place
where you can get a big bowl of
soup with coffee and bread for 5
cents, but they wouldn't accept the
stamp there, and he'd been trying all
the evening to raise at least 1 cent
on it to make up the price of
