Held For Participation In the
 LateD.&R. {. Robbery HE HAD PLENTY OF MONEY
He Had Lately Come From Phoenix, Said His Name Was Charles Casey and That He Was Owner of a Coffee Plantation.

 The arrest was instigated by Jus tiee of the Peace Kramer, whose sus- picions were aroused by Casey's pe- culiar actions. Casey arrived from Phoenix on the 17th inst, and has since been drinking and circulat- ing money freely.
 Immediately on arrest he was re- lieved of A calibre revolver, 5000 in United States currency and $500 in Wells Fargo money orders pur- chased in Denver and Puebls about two weeks ago and made payable to Chas. Casey. The mans story has but served to confirm suspicion and no doubt is entertained that he is one of the men concerned in the train robbery.
 He claims to have a coffee plan- tation in some unnamed part of Mexico and to be proceeding to Cal ifornia with no avowed object. A grilling by Special Officer Vella has revealed nothing of the mans true antecendents or previous where abouts. He absolutely refuses to di- vulge the name of a single relative or other person qualified to vOuch for him and his strange story.
 He is about feet inches, dark black eyes, smooth shaved and wears a black slouch hat and dark readymade clothing, much worn. He bears all the ear marks of a desperate character. He is being held for instructions from Chief of Police Armstrong of Den yer

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

This subject has been brought to the front by
its recent discussion by President Taft, and we
may confidently look for some action upon it at
the ensuing session of Congress The question
has been thoroughly discussed and in principle
settled beyond controversy. The present need
and duty is action, not resurrection of old eX-
cuses and fallaces
The Postal Savings bill should be taken up at
the next session and enacted into law. Speaker
Cannon is opposed to it, but he is rot the admins
tration not the party, not the house, and the
people are in no mood to permit him and his little
clique to control legislation and decide what is
good for them at this or that time, if at all The
day of his "czardom" is past. He has himself, IN
his various apologies, disclaimed any desire TO
dictate to the majority; he has described himself
as it's humble instrument; he has challenged the
insurgents to appeal to the majority and depose
him from the speakers chair.
If the President intends TO ask Congress III pam
words o pass Postal Savings BILL the Republican
party will have an excellent opportunity to put
Cannonism to the test. With the moral support
of the administration within constitutional limits
and of public sentiment, the prOgressives in the
house can put Postal Bank bill through regard
less of bourbonism or buncombe in the chair
A wide difference exists in the savings bank
habit between the East and the West. The saw
ings bank proper is a trusteeship. The long set
tied New England view has made the private say
ings bank there safe institution. But frequent
breaches of trust, imprudences and losses have
made it unpopular in the West. In 1908 Massa-
chusetts savings banks had nearly 100000 de-
positors and $706940,596 in deposits. New York
had nearly 100000 depositors and $1,37S,OOO,OOO
in deposits Nebraska had only 1852 depositors
and little more than $2,OOO,OOO in deposits
The entire Pacific slope had not half-million
depositors and little more than $25O,00OOOO in
deposits. The South shows the same Indifference
to private savings banks. 1t is from the South
and West that vast influx OF money is to be
expected if the Postal Savings Bank system is
adopted 1t is the rural population OF these re-
gons that will feel a sense of security for their
surplus cash that is now absent, and it is their
Accommodations that are involved in the project.
Some economists compute at 100000 the sum
of money which would be drawn from hiding and
put into circulation by opening Postal Savings
Banks.

SEWARD AND HIS MONUMENT.

The unwilling of statue to VIM H. Seward at
the A.-Y.-P. Exposition to remain permanently on
the campus of Washington State University was
fitting tribute to the man who secured THIS
valuable territory to the possession and use OF
the United States. 1t here in Seattle that
President Roosevelt said in 1903:
"The men of my age, who are in this audience,
will not be old men before they see of the
greatest and most populous states of the entire
Union in Alaska. | predict that Alaska within
the next century will support as large a popula-
ton as does the entire Scandinavian peninsula OF
Europe, the people of which by their brains and
energies have left their mark on the face OF
Europe. | predict that you will see Alaska with
her resources of minerals, her fisheries and her
possibilities that almost exceed belief produce as
hardy and vigorous a race as any part OF
America
The present gigantic strides in the development
of industries and transportation in Alaska IS
bringing about rapid fulfllment of the prophecy.
In this agriculture is having share. as shown
by the exhibits in the Alaska building.
Professor C. G. Georgcson, special agent of the
Department of Agriculture, in charge of investiga
tons in Alaska, has borne out the prophecy. In
a recent interview he said:
THE area of Alaska is, in round numbers, $780,
600 square miles. Out of this total area it is
estimated that approximately 100000 square miles
can be utilized for agricultural and for grazing
purposes. Alaska has great agricultural posi-
bilities, but in all northern countries, the pos
sbities are limited to the culture of hardy crops
Alaskas possibilities limited in grain crops
to the growth of barley oats, rye, buckWheat
and some wheat.
'AI the hardy vegetables grown success
fully-potatoes, cabbage, caufower, rutabagas
turnips carrots, parsnips, peas lettuce, radlshes
rhubarb ETC., but it is revelation to most people
that even these crops can be grown there Not
only vegetables be grown but Alaska produce
is the finest in the world in point of quality. BY
reason of the long hours of daylight, the growth
is very rapid which produces crispness and
flavor that are not approached by vegetables
grown under screening sun.

WATCHING OUR SMOKE

Senator Robert Lynn Cox of New York was
chairman of the Armstrong Commission OF In
vestgation into insurance company methods when
Governor Hughes was counsel for the commission
Senator Cox holds now the position OF general
counsel and manager of the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents representing $l,8OO,OO0OOO
Of insurance assets tWothirds OF the total held
in 200 companies.
do you people of the Pacific Coast know that
64 per cent of the reserves of the association OF
life insurance interests / represent which we nave
collected from Pacific Coast patrons, is invested
in Pacific Coast securities?' he asked while IN
Seattle THAT means that we have invested all
the reserve fund and GA per cent in addition II
means to put it concretey, that Eastern capital
lists consider the Pacific Coast the investment OPP
portunity of the world. This conception Is not
based on a system of inflated values, which, to be
frank NAV be found in the West, at certain points,
consequent from enormously great and rapid de-
yelopment but on what is actually here in the way
of sure security This is not alone land values,
but securities of all kinds.
Quietly the insurance presidents OF great
Eastern companies have visited the West during
the present year. They have been viewing the
Expostion, the country rounding out the aesthetic
faculty-ostensiby. Really, they have been esti-
mating the investment value of your country.
Theirs is business estimate, not founded on
high flights of wordy eloquence, emanating from
effusve individuals whose enthusiasm sWamps
their Judgment, but on facts and figures they have
found here. Let say returns do more than
hatter the West"

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW

The industrial population Of the country is once
more actively and may say, fully employed
and their earnings are in the aggregate greater
than ever in our records. Every business agency
and statistical bureau agrees in estimating that
the values of our agricultural products for the
year will total hundreds of millions OF dollars
above any production of our own or of any other
nation that ever existed. Given, then, these two
numerous classes of our people, with an earning
power a purchasing power and a paying power
beyond every period Of our wonderful business
history and it means to the manufacturer, to the
banker to the merchant and to the host OF trades
men and all the agents of trade and commerce
the greatest volume of business that was ever
booked or ever created, says the Evening Teller.
1t means prosperity at every fresde by which
common sense and thrift abide. 1t insures a con-
tented and happy people enjoying the results of
energy good judgment and persistent effort to
attain to higher standards in all that goes to
make up the best in modern civilization. 1t
stimulates a development in every city, county

EVENING.

The cleaning DER the sleeping country steals
AS through the woodland scenes serenely fine,
We drive evening, laughing as our wheels
Disturb the lazy sheep and thoughtful kline.
Ts sunset time and in the glorious west
The golden clouds announce approaching night
But DINNER grow their rays to his rest
The blazing light-god sinks down out of sight
The tortuous cky-line's indistinctly blue,
Above it, hame-like, bright celestial fire
Is halong the landscape which we view
And gliding far St Agatha's church spire.
The colors change and instead of gold
Blood-red's the tint which dominates the sky
And then carmne enfold
The feecy banks of clouds up on high
Then in flash the stars their faces show,
A thousand more each moment are revealed;
And as subdued wondering homeWard
We call the twinlling sky Gods daisy field

absolute mpartiaty in the matter of awarding

AGRICULTURE IN THE SCHOOLS

This subject is taking deep hold on the rural
poulation and those connected with their educa-
tional interests. AT the convention of Farmers
institute workers at Portland Dean Eugene DaVen
port of the University of Illinois advocated teach
ing agriculture in all the schools as follows:
eff Agricultural Colleges and experiment sta
tons have shown anything it is that science
help the occupation of farming and that agricu
ture be successfully taught They have
shown, too, that whether the young man is edu
Gated away from or towards the farm depends
upon the kind of education he gets and the edu
cational atmosphere of the school he attends.
This is the foundation of the demand that
agriculture be taught in schools other than in
one college in each state. | would insist that
every high school that has country constituency
should put in a department OF agriculture ana
that the boy who is to be farmer or thinks he
is should devote fourth of his time to that study
1t is bad public policy to educate people OF oil
ferent professions separately.
Dean e. A. Burnett of the University OF Ne
braSka also made similar recommendations, say
ing on this subject:
at is granted that Agricultural Colleges serve
but few of the young men and women OF any
state. The great need at the present time is an
adequate education in the secondary schools.
"There but two methods proposed Tor the
extension of agricultural training to these schools
One is to include it in the high school courses
and the other is to establish agricultural schools
with sufficiently diversified courses in strictly
rural communities and give them, IN addition TO
income by local taxation, support from the state.
Both these gentlemen are graduates or Mlchl
gan Agricultural College and have done excellent
educational and Farmers Institute work.
The National Association Of American Agricu
tural Colleges and Experiment Stations elected
as president w. j. Kerr of Oregon Agricultural
College; vice-presdents, H. J. Waters, Kansas;
W. p Brooks, Massachusetts; c. A. Lory, Color
ado; P H. Rolfes Florida L.. Foster New Mexico;
secrctarytreasurer, j. H. Hills, of Vermont; bib
liographer, A. G. True, of Washington, ID. e. 1t
also adopted the following resolution:
This association recognizes that the spirit OF
the Morrill, law intended that the instruction pro-
vided for in the law should include instruction in
subjects pertaining to agriculture, engineering
and the sciences leading thereto, whether in Uni
versities containing Agricultural Colleges or in
separate Agricultural Colleges
The Washington State College will open with
an increased attendance and improved facilities
for caring for it's students new departure Is
the one-year for dairy students. This is to
be commended. The Ranch believes in providing
one and twoyear courses for those who cannot
remain to complete the fouryear courses OF in
struction in agricultural subjects Governor

year students at it's Agricultural College.

The opening of the great Stock Yards at Port
land September Is marks the beginning of an era
in the Pacific Northwest when live stock shall
command a larger share of attention from the
farmer as a means of dversifying his most i'm
portant industry. 1t is the forerunner of other
ventures in handling live stock and its products
in a more intensive and economical manner. There
is always a large amount of loss and expense In
making long shipments of live stock and return
shipments of their products to the same localities.
Then too there is variety of by-products from
the carcasses that are of great value when ac-
cumulated so as to be handled economically but
are valueless in the small quantities that gather
in the ordinary local slaughter-houses. 1t is from
these insignificant wastes that profits accrue to all
large manufacturing enterprises, and the live
stock trade is a prominent example. 1t is sig
nificant that this enterprise is launched at the
time when the Portland and the A.-Y.P. Live
Stock Shows put this branch of farm industry in
the foreground.
