COLORADO BANKS

The resources of the national banks
of Colorado ON December 81 of last
year, according to the biennial report

of the state banks and trust companies

bank deposit in the state of $i62 ,245.-

1865 a person for every man, woman
and child in the state. Very few If
any states of the union have such an
average. The report Of the bank COM
missioner has just gone TO the printers
an will be ready for distribution in
few days.
Among his recommendations are:
(1) that all banks should be required
to keep reserve either in cash or on
deposit with an approved reserve
bank (2) that law should be enact
ed requiring all banks before declar-
ing dividens to certify each year at
least one-tenth of their net earnings
toward the creation of separate
fund. He recommends provision for
one more bank examiner. He also
recommends that the law should be
changed so that private bank can
be converted into state bank with.
out paying in its capital in cash.
His report shows the result of his
examination into the three banks
which failed in Colorado during the
past eighteen months, namely the
Colorado State bank of Durango, the
Smelter City bank of the same city
and the State bank at Rocky Ford.
In the Colorado State bank at
Durango his report shows over $3.50, :
600 of the assets to be worthless and
that since then corporation has

assets and will pay the bank off

EXPLOSION WRECKS BOAT
Miraculous Escape of Crew of Dyna.
mite Laden Vessel off Coast
of Mexico

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-Sur-
vivors of the explosion of the gaso-
line schooner Charles Hansen which
blew up off the Mexican coast June
20 arrived here last night on board
the Pacific Mail liner Newport, after
a series of privations that included
ten hungry days at La Trista Maria,
an island near the Mexican main
land.
The Hansen was loaded with pow
der and dynamite. When nine days
out from San Francisco the gasoline
engine began TO back-fire and the
fuel supply caught fire. For twenty
four hours the crew of nine tried to
extinguish the flames, which burned
the vessels boats. When the fire
had eaten through the decks and was
nearing the cargo of explosives, a
raft was hastily constructed and the
crew left the schooner.
Before they were 400 feet away
the vessel blew up, scattering wreck
age over the sea and almost over
whelming the craft After three
days the crew made La Trista Maria,
and there they existed for ten days
on shell fish and sea weed The cook
Harry Knordeck, died of starvation.
The eight survivors, including
Capt Charles Burke, Mate William
Lloyd and Engineer Frank Stetson,
were rescued by a Mexican govern
ment transport Capt Burke lost
his glass eye while on the island and
bemoans this i'll luck more than the
loss of the schooner.

THE NORTHWEST CROPS
Reports From the Harvest Fields of
The Northwest

WESTON, Ore.,-Harvest is now
on in full blast throughout the Wes-
ton wheat section. The yield SO far
indicates an average crop but many
fields will run from As to 55 bushels
per acre. AS a rule the berry Is
plump and heads well filled, not
withstanding an exceedingly dry sea-
son.
Many samples have been sent in
and all SO far tested, according to To-
cal buyers, run from SO to as high as
81 pounds to the bushel. AS a
weight Of only So pounds is required
for No. l wheat, it is seen that a
more than average gooa quality of
wheat is represented in this season s
crop. Some smut prevails in nearly
all of the fields, although extra care
was taken by the farmers in prepar-
ing their seed. So far there is no
market for wheat, as the grower is
holding his crop for the top market
price, which according to the opin-
ion of all will not be less than one
dollar per bushel.

j. ID. ALLEN IN JAIL

]. B. Allen, Jr., son of John B.
Allen, former United States Senator
from Washington, is in Jail at Spring
field, III. He is held on a charge of
disorderly conduct. He has been on
a prc4racted spree and wound up in
Jail. Efforts to induce him to re-
turn to his family in this state were
unavailing. Allen is a bad egg"
and has caused his parents much an
guish. He was convicted of a felony
in Alaska and sentenced to the fed
eral prison, but was released after a
hard fight by his father, backed by
all the political influence that could
be brought to bear in his behalf.
Now that his illustrious father is
dead he will not have that backing
to get him out of trouble. His
mother lives just outside the city
limits of Walla Walla.

LABOR UNIONS PROTEST
Demand That State Legislature Give
People Vote on Judges

The labor unions Of the State of
| Washington have started cam
paign to secure the repeal of the
law, taking away from the people the
right to nominate by direct vote
the judges of the state supreme
court. The Seattle Union Record,
which is the official organ of the
state federation of labor, is leading
the campaign.
Two official protests are printed by
the paper. One to be sent by the
union memb ers to Governor Hay, the
other to the members of the state
legislature. Every union man in
the state is urged to sign the pro-
and one to the members of the leg
and on etc the member of the leg
sender.
The movement has been started
| by the central labor council of Seat
tie. 1t is expected it will be taken
up by the unions all over the state.
d. c. Coates, associate editor of
the Labor World, states that he is
Of the opinion that the campaign
will be taken up locally. The OBJ
ject of the unions is to Hood the
governor and the members of the
| Legislature with protests and secure
the repeal of the law.
Protest to Governor
| The form of protest sent out from
Seattle is as follows:
To M. E. Hay governor, Olympia,
Wash: Sir:-Without giving any no.
tce to the people of the state, the
Legislature, ending in March, 1909,
took from the people the cherished
privilege of nominating their judges
of the supreme court, Who, among
the elective officers of this state,
could have been elected in 1908,
had he announced to his constituents
that he would help to deprive the
people of any portion of the direct
primary? Who will dare defend
such action in -.-e next campaign
You signed the bill, perhaps wit
out close scrutiny, but it is opposed
to our republican, form of govern
ment. Every good citizen demands
its repeal Very truly yours,

out the first electric railway news
that has been available for some
time. Here it is: 1T is rumored
here today that two representatives
of Jay P. Graves spent two days
here last week on matters dealing
with the extension of his electric line
system from the Palouse country in
to the valley. 1t is still insisted by
those who claim inside information
that the line is to slope down Step
toe CANYON, although others hold the
plans of Mr.. Graves have been prac-
tically completed whereby the line
is being extended from Moscow,
down Hatwai and through Lewis
ton to Charleston. 1t is stated the
plans have been held in allegiance for
several weeks on account of the ill
ness of Mr.. Graves and that other
wise his company would have made
definite announcement before this
time"

HATTON, Wash. in this
vicinity is progressing rapidly and a
number of farmers have already be-
gun hauling grain to town. Within
two or three days close to 10000
bushels of grain will have been sold
to local warehouse firms at an aver
age price of 80 cents a bushel A
majority of the growers will hold
their grain for a better price. In
the Michigan prairie vicinity, east of
this place, the yield is running from
90 to % bushels an acre. which will
net approximately $50 an acre. Men
are plentiful, although horses have
been scarce.
