MOVING THE WHEAT CROP

One of the changed conditions present pointed by
representative of foreign wheat buyers Wabrg the other day
is that the banks OF this financing the harvesting Of
the wheat crop and doing with local money the Seattle Post
ntelgence few years since the money handle the crops
omabroad and interest paid upon considerable
Today the local banks the growing districts handling
the with local money without being compelled call
outside the state for assistance save that they have Withdrawn their
money from the deposit elsewhere
Moreover the money with which the interior banks supplied
row largely that OF the wheat growers themselves All OF the
banks Eastern Washington have been carrying heavy deposit
for several years past deposits abnoma heavy fact
as compared with the population OF the cities and towns IN which
they do business
OF course foreign grain buyers require
They have large advances OF money from the outside with which TO
buy the CROP but the growers do 60 anywhere
home IN order to secure money with which to harvest and market
their gram Indeed large proportion OF them need no assistance
at all but have enough OF their meet all
to the time when they sell.
For the last three years local banks the wheatgrowng dis
c have furnished fair proportion of the money needed hande
the crops This year they will furnish all OF it, and will also be in
position make loans to buyers upon security of the bills of adng
and policies When the harvested there will be
great money foreign banks but the direct
contrary, the banks of the weagrowing districts will have
due them from outside of the which they
draw upon when needed There will be perfect flood of
pouring into this state when the crop sold
THE published criticism because Idaho decenty represent
cd the opening of the Seattle exposition only capou but
positively s cost the state of Idaho about S1Oo be ap
propraey represented this and this expense but
small fraction of the expended by other states for that event
If Idaho was to be represented at all and The Statesman readily
that the desire of the people that should be- had to
be represented right of spending little
staying home and giving the impression that Idaho sister state
OF Washington. was blank BOISE Statesman
To the excerpt from the morning paper the Lewiston
Tribune makes this causic reply:
The incident if stood and unrelated other things
would be comparatively trivial and its critics be wretchedy bad
perpetrators But materially connected with other
specifically that the public funds and the official energies
expended personal property and hunkesm the exclusion of the
substantial purposes of the occasion If the inter
been attended would have made serious
eectua objection the officials making honest and proud
parade connection with what they had accomplished but the fact
that the the what making such deep and
humiang impression the The Statesman asserts the
official pageantry but fraction of what other
pended the line That assertion open question The
brigade has boasted that the only such brigade that
correctly uniformed all occasions That does indicate that
the Idaho expenditure for pop insignificant beside the others
The Tribune also doubts but merely matter of opinion and not
of acthat other states have expended their
ton appropriation that all Where governoany
governor except Idahohas attended the exposition the b
opinion that the expense of the regular appropriation
travelling and other expenses of the office and OF the
exposition fund all The applies military officers
officials in the they travelling officially
personally In other words Idaho the Tribune believes
has the gor
fcaon Of governor and his and his apponees while the
resources its achievements opportunities
and hopes has been left ignored nsulted and ashamed
No prize fights for Boise perfectly vulgar and brutal
don hernow Nothing but booze parties after midnight swell
enough for our hundred 1t laugh this merry
tempt the pot has for the backness OF the kettle
None Of Idahos resources are worthy represented
but or governor and staff larger swah than other visitors
That is the Brady idea of Idaho and OF her governor
ayhap the governor staff be induced make pema
nen exhibit OF themselves Seattle Even exhibit OF gold lace
iunkeys is better than no exhibit at all
Free raw materials demands President Taft some
hing like the days Of Grover Cleveland
