The band played many appropriate songs. and the young couple were escorted to the Ike Woods residence where they will make their temporary home. The merrymakers got very little sleep. as it was three am. before the party of serenaders broke up. and then only from sheer exhaustion.

\ CHARITABLE MOVEMENT
 BY PEOPLE OF SPOKANE
THAT ALL APPLICANTS MAY
 HAVE A CHANCE.
In the Drawing for Indian Lands
 Today.

Spokane. Wash, Aug. S.-Arrange- ments have been completed by the Spokane chamber of commerce to provide full postage for all the un- stamped envelopes, containing appli- cations for registration on lands in the three Indian reservations. mailed in Spokane. Occur d'Alene, Idaho. and Mlssoula and Kalispell. Mont, thus assuring to every person regis tered before midnight on August ,, an even chance in the drawings be- ginning tomorrow morning.
 Frank w Smith. baseball fan and patron of amateur sports, originated the plan and was the first subscriber to the fund. which was raised fin an hour. When he learned that more than l.400 unstamped envelopes were held in the Spokane post office and as many more at the three other registry points he realized that sever al thousand persons would thus be deprived of the opportunity to partici- pate in Uncle Sam's big lottery.
 He brought the matter to the at tention of l.. c. Monroe. secretary of the commercial organization, with the result that sufficient funds were forwarded to the postmasters of the four cities to insure the delivery of every unstamped letter to James w. Written. superintendent of the opening at Occur d'Alene, Idaho.
 More than 295.000 persons were registered and it is conservative estimate that at least two per cent neglected to provide postage to carry the applications. which many come thousands of miles to procure to their des,ination Mir Smith said. Tt wbuld be unfortunate to deprive these people Of the chance to take part in the drawing. as would be the case if they waited for the re- turn of the applications from the dead eltter office. Paying for all the letters held for postage is the only way to make certain that none was left out. as there are no marks by which an individual envelope can be distinguished"

ALFALFA UNSHAKEN
 FROM THE THRONE
It Keeps on Reigning Regardless of Oranges, Sugar Beets, Etc.

A few months ago The Repub- lican published an interview with a Phoenix man who has dealt largely . in hay and ought to know as much about it as anybody setting forth the theory that the day of cheap hay in the Salt River valley is over Alfalfa has in recent years not been consid- cred as profitable a crop as some other products on account of the knowledge that in years gone by it has been down as low as from four to six dollars a ton almost every hay making season. and except in occa- sional years of short crop or drouth. it seldom got as high as ten dollars in the winter The interview set forth the theory that there would never be any more cheap hay in this valley: that it would seldom be be- low eight or ten dollars a ton and most of the time much higher. The theory was backed by the needs of an ever widening field of mining ac- tivity in Arizona, which will provide a market for all the valleys can pro duce and by the further fact of large expOrtations of hay to Honolulu and the orient that makes the supply scarce and the price high in Cali fornia.
 Present conditions seem to be prov ing the theory as far as it can be proved in the short time that has elapsed. There is no great movement in hay just now. The market is a little slow but it is firm at from eleven to twelve dollars. and this is the very heart of the hay making season. More years than otherwise, at this time of the year hay has only been worth half what it is today. And the present price is not due to any crop failure or unusual local demand. The alfalfa farmers have had good crops this season and cut a very creditable tonnage and will have more to cut. But they are not keen to sell for they know the tendency of the market is upward. One man said yesterday. and he is a close judge of the market. that the price the coming winter will be fully as high as last winter when it was from fourteen to fifteen dollars, and it may even go higher. There will surely be some resumption of the shipments to California and it is known that already there has been an inquiry from Texas concerning seventy-five car loads. This outside demand with the expected resumption of railroad building the coming fall, as well as greater activity in mining, will undoubtedly keep the hay mar ket at a high level all winter Verify, alfalfa is still king. even if the price of land has trebled.

LOTS Of WATER IN
 ALL THE RIVERS
It is Expected that all the Ditches Will be Full Today.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof There may be a big drouth before the week is out. but just now it is pleasing to announce that the streams in these parts are all running with a good flow and for the present moment there is irrigation water for everybody. who can get it from the river to the land. The Arizona canal was running full to its capacity yes terday and probably will be today. The water had not got down last evening in sufficient quantity to fill all the ditches, but it is presumed it will during the night and that all the canals on the north side will be full today.
 There was a raise of six inches at the Roosevelt dam yesterday which means a greatly augmented flow foI the time being. How long it will last is all conjecture. The Salt alone at Richins' station yesterday carried 20,440 inches and the Verde at the same point measured 70, $40 inches, making a total flow of over 900OO inches at Granite Reef. None of it went over the dam, however. for the big canals were able to divert the en- tire flow at the heads. though a part of it had to be returned to the river through the waste gates.
 The Verde flood may be short lived for the stream was receding again last evening, but anyhow there should be water enough to give all the farms at least one fine soaking.
 Travellers who came from the north yesterday afternoon, reported that it rained steadily for four hours at Con- gross Junction, and that the Hassa- yampa and the Agua F'ria rivers were both carrying good big streams.

WISCONSIN BANK
CLOSES DOORS
Alleged Shortage Of $2lo,-
600 Discovered.
NO ARRESTS MADE AS YET

Action Expected to Follow Confer
eaccs Of Federal Authorities Now
at Mineral Point-President Of In
stitution Given Time to Raise Mon
ey to Carry It Through, but He
Failed to Secure Amount Needed.
Washington, Oct. 13.-The discov-
cry Of alleged forgeries and defalca-
lions aggregating, according to unoffi-
cial advices, approximately 100000,
resulted in closing the doors of the
First National bank Of Mineral Point,
Wis. and the appointment of John
w. Schofield of the office of the
comptroller of the currency as receiv-
er of the Wisconsin institution. Ar
rests were expected to follow the
closing of the bank after a confer
ence between the federal authorities
at Mineral Point.
The first word Of irreg ularities in
the hank reached the treasury depart
nlent on Oct. 5, when National Bank
Examiner Richard w. Goodhart, who
had been making his regular
ination of the banks condition. telc-
graphei to the comptroller Of the cur
rency that he had found some short
ages and questionable paper. The
first indications were that the loss
would reach only 800, 900. The figures
of the discrepancy then began to
grow. Scon the amount vas in
creased by $4,000 and the next and
last amount reported to Washington
swelled The loss TO s12S,000. The
losses on other papers in the bank
subsequently discovered probably &C.
counts fer the difference between this
amount and tho 100000 of alleged
shortage announced in the press re-
ports.
s. Calvert Spensley is president of
the bank. He expressed to the bank
examiner confidence in his ability to
carry the bank through its troubles.
The bank officials sought cash to
place to the credit of the bank and
succeeded in obtaining q small
amount. President Spensley declared
that he could raise 100000 in cash
within six days, but he was evidently
unable to negotiate that amount on
the banks credit and Examiner
Goodhart reported by telegraph thar
the bank had been closed.
