PROPOSITION FOR EXAMINATION
OF BANKS MEETS WITH FAv-
OR EVERYWHERE.
News of Chicago, Its Doinss and Say
inss, by Special Correspondent
of This Paper.

CHICAGO, June 23.-(Special.) 1.-The
movement for clearing house examin-
alton of banks, which was first put
into effect in Chicago, is gaining
ground elsewhere, and financial men
here report that several other large
cities are about to adopt it. The
banks, under this arrangement sup
plement the work Of the federal and
state examiners by submitting to ex-
animation by a regular agent of the
clearing house, with the idea of mu-
tual protection and the further safe
guarding of the funds of depositers,
which have now reached the enormous
,, total of twelve and a half billion dol
lars for the whole United States. The
plan just went into effect about
three years ago, largely through the
efforts of one bank, the National Bank
of the Republic. The Walsh banks
were in the course of liquidation at the
time and when the motion to adopt
was put in the clearing house by Vice
President w. T. Fenton, it was regard
ed as an important step toward eff
fective cooperation on the part of
banking interests and one which would
put a wise check on any reckless tend
encies of individual members which
might be prejudicial to the safety Of
others. Later during the panic of
1907, the system naturally resulted in
confident unity of action through the
were partially suspended, because Of
the knowledge each member of the
clearing house had that it was not
threatened by unknown weaknesses on
the part of some fellow institution
with which it had dealings. AS a re-
suit the ST. Louis clearing house and
those in Los Angeles and several
other cities have already adopted it
and it is understood that clearing
houses in Philadelphia and othsr large
eastern money centers are likely to fol-
low suit. Meanwhile deposits in Chica-
go banks have grown at a remarkable
rate. Figures for the last twelve months
which have just been compiled, show
several record gains, amounting to as
much as $3500,000 in the case of the
National Bank of the Republic. Three
small banks have gone out of bust
by others and cash resources of the
remaining ones have increased in pro-
portion until now they are nearly
double the % per cent legal require

Schools Are Closed.

The closing of the public schools
which have turned loose this month
no less than seventeen million restless
Boys and girls throughout the United
States, has again marked the real be-
ginning of the vacation season in Chi
cago and the middle west. Extra
trains on the As railroads having ter
minals in Chicago are leaving crowded
every day with families seeking a
charge of scene and rest or recrea-
ton. The Canadian summer resorts
are drawing larger numbers this year
than ever before, especially the lakes
of Northern Ontario, and the streams
and woods of the Algonquin National
park and the governments other great
reserve about Lake Temagami. Fishing
and shooting in the primeval wilder
of the cool northland are principally
responsible for the turn of the tide in
point or place of transfer for much of
this summer emigration. From here
the stream of pleasure seekers follow
many routes by rail and boat to the
international boundary and the tracks
of the Canadian Northern and Grand
Trunk railways. Reports from Mani
toba state that the American colonies
of vacationists are springing up this
year in the region about Rainy river
and the Lake of the Woods. The fe-
yer for hunting is also said to be much
greater than usual, due in part, it is
alleged, to the wide currency given the
reports of ex-President Roosevelts
exploits in East Africa. The game
laws of Canada have succeeded in pre-
serving the moose and elk in their
original haunts in such numbers that
good shooting is assured for years to
come. The same is true regarding the
fish. Veteran rodsmen who have re-
turned from Canada bring back amaZ
ing stories of heroic muskalOnge and
gamy trout and bass, with which to
regale the great army of tstay-at-i
homes, without whom vacations could
not exist.

Steel Trust Wins.

A shreWd victory for the "steel trust
in which the state of Illinois is the
loser, has been disclosed by a tardy
investigation of the bill recently
passed by the state Legislature, which
has just been signed by Governor
Deneen, giving the Illinois steel COM
pany the right to purchase valuable
reclaimed lands along the shore of
Lake Michigan. By the terms of the
bill the company will acquire 1886 acres
of city property which it needs for In
dustriaI purposes at a cost of only 800
an acre, or less than the value of good
Illinois farm land. According to real
estate men here, who have begun to
investigate the matter this is an alb
surd figure, and breaks all low price
records. In support of this intention
piled showing high and low prices
paid for city property, many of which
the immense values or urban real es-
tate due to recent concentration of
business in the big cities. The most
valuable property in the city, accord
ing to these figures, and probably In
the entire west, is located in the retail
shopping district along State street,
and, put in terms of acres like the
Illinois Steel lands, it is worth in the
neighborhood of $5,O0O,000 an acre.
This is based on the last estimate of
the county assessors and board of re-
view, which is considered to be con-
sentative. At that rate every square
inch of space in the shopping district
is worth a dollar. The lake front, now
largely occupied by the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad, is figured to be only but
slightly less valuable. A hundred foot
strip of land on Michigan avenue be-
tween the public library and Twelfth
street is put up at $10,860,000. Sales
Of office buildings and property inside
the loop district have now become
very rare, as a result Of these high
prices, and have been replaced to a
large extent by long term leases. Oc-'
casional transfers are recorded, how
ever, for $1.000,O00 or $500, 900, and
prices are slowly increasing. In view
of these facts men familiar with such
matters do not hesitate to assert that
the steel trust lawyers put one over
on the state when they secured their
lands for 500 an acre, even though the
property is not situated in the heart OF
the CITY and was reclaimed at the ex-
pense Of the company.

event he held that such exploitation
I and development were specially pro-
vided for by law.
AS to lands not in forest reserves,
the Commissioner held that withdraw
ais for ranger stations could not be
made in the states of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado and
Wyoming, for the act of June, 1907,
commonly known as the Fulton act,
prohibits the creation of forest re-
serves, or the enlargement of existing
reserves in the six states named, with
out specific authority of Congress.
That law was intended to prevent the
further extension of the forest re-
serve area in those states, and the
Commissioner held that the creation or
ranger stations outside of reserves was
practical enlargement of the forest
reserve area, and consequently con-
jtrary to law.
AS stated, Secretary Garfield overrul-
ed the COMMISSIONER, ,and created
ranger stations in some of the states
named but the first time Secretary
Ballinger had occasion to act on Pin
chot's recommendation in cases aris-
ing in Oregon and Idaho, ne reversed
the ruling Of MS predecessor and sus-
tanned the Commissioner of the Land
Office.
Mr.. Pinchot contends that the crea-
ton of ranger stations is not a vfo-
lation of the Fulton act, and does not
increase the forest reserve area in
any state. He maintains that ranger
stations are not forest reserves. His
argument is the direct reverse of that
of the Land Commissioner and Secre-
tary of the Interior, and eventually
someone must decide which interpre-
tation is correct. In the main, west
ern senator's who are lawyers sustain
the Ballinger Interpretation.
Aside from the law of the case, ac-
cording to the Interior Departments
view, it is held that there is no ex-
cuse for creating ranger stations out
side the forest reserves. There is
ample room within the reserve boun-
diaries to provide quarters and accom-
modations of rangers, whose entire
time is supposed to be spent within
the reserves, and to segregate tracts
here and there, outside the reserves,
for the exclusive use of forest rangers
is held to be without justification.
In answer to this, the Forestry Off
Gals contend that it is not always
convenient to have their stations cen
trally located in the reserves, and it
is necessary, in order to procure con-
venient headquarters, to go outside
the reserves, but near their boundaries.
1t is oftentimes considered essential to
be near some line Of communication
with the outside world.
Until the Attorney General renders
an opinion on the disputed question,
Mr.. Pinchot will get no more lands
for ranger stations in the
six states named in the Fulton law,
and then only in the event the Attor-
ney General holds a view different
from that entertained by Secretary
Ballinger, the Land Commissioner, and
the Assistant Attorney General. for
the Interior Department.

BALLINGER OPPOSES
FORESTER PINCHOT

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The At
torney General will probably be called
upon The law; Clifford Pinchot holds
ferences that have arisen between the
Secretary of the Interior and the For
est Service, with reference to the en-.
forcement of certain provisions of the
law governing forest reserves. Secre-
tary Ballinger places one construction
upon the law; Clifford Pinchot holds
the opposite view, and there is no mid
die ground of compromise. In cases
Of this sort, where there is conflict be-
tween two branches of the federal ser.
vice, Ringing upon the Interpretation
of the law the Attorney General is the
arbiter, and therefore Mr.. Wickersham
is likely to be called upon to determine
whether Ballinger or Pinchot is right.
The trouble grows out of the desire
of Mr.. Pinchot to establish what are
known as ranger stations" in and
adjacent to forest reserves in the va
rious western states. These stations
are, as rule, quarter section tracts
set apart for the use of forest rangers,
and on them are created cabins, pro-
viding quarters and offices for the
field men in charge of various reserves.
large number of such stations have
been established in times past, but not
nearly a sufficient number, and trouble
has arisen over the proper method of
setting apart land for this purpose.
There was no difficulty in the days
when James r. Garfield was Secretary
OF the Interior, for Mr.. Garfield o. X d
all recommendation made by Mr.. Pin
ehot, and friction was an unheard-
of thing. Now, however, Secretary
Ballinger looks to the law and, when
the recommendations of Mr.. Pinchot
are at variance with the law, those re-
Communications are not carried out.
After seven years, during which time
he has had his own way without re-
serve, Mr.. Pinchot is not a little an
noyed to find that his plans are being
held up. Therefore he has appealed
to the President, and the President
will find it necessary to call upon his
attorney general.
Mr. Pinchot, in recent times, has
been creating forest ranger stations,
both inside and outside of forest re-
serves. Where he desired to establish
a station inside a reserve, he had an
order issued by the Interior Depart
ment withdrawing the desired land
from any sort of appropriation or use
by private interests, even from home
stealing under the June IL, 1906. When
he wanted to create a station outside
of existing reserves, he had the land
withdrawn from entry and set apart
for the use of his men. Secretary
Garfield always made these Withdraw
ais upon demand and in doing so over
rode the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, who in most instances adj
vised against the course recommended
by Mr.. Pinchot. He held it was not
necessary to withdraw lands already
in a forest reserve, as those lands
are already under the jurisdiction of
the Secretary of Agriculture and can
only be utilized with his permission,
unless it be that some one desires to
make mineral exploitation, in which
