The reclamation service is now paying
 s115.5O rent per month for quarters
 that are not fully satisfactory and the
 association is paying a goodly sum and
 standing in the shadow of a raise. In
 fact rents for such buildings are bound to be higher instead of lower, all over
 the city as the years go by. But the
 present rentals paid it is estimated will amount to the cost of a building in from fifteen to seventeen years. And once the rent money is paid out it will be gone. If it is paid out in a lump for a building the association
 will have a permanent home at no cost
 except the interest on its money.
 Then there is the advantage of being
 settled permanently, the construction of proper vaults and needs of a per manent business headquarters. and
 above all. comfortable and well ap-
 pointed offices for the small army of
 employees who it must be admitted are
 able to return more efficiency for the
 amount of their salaries when they are conveniently and comfortably located Another feature is the lighting. the fuel, the ianitor, etc. The figures giv- en as present expenses are exclusive of all those incidentals.
 It is true the reclamation service has ! been apportioned seven rooms in the proposed federal building. Probably before that is completed the ser vice will locally be the tail to the dog and the association will do the wag- ging And if that is not the case sever ! rooms vii be too small to serve tho purposes of the reclamation service
 Another point is that the two are Sc
 nearly mutual in their labors and so cooperative that they should by all
 means be in the same building.
 It would appear to be a one sided question and while a casual thought might suggest extravaganza the con 1 trary is true. It i s a question of whether one will spend his money foI something of only present and passing value or whether he will spend it fol something he can retain permanently The cost of the building must natur ! ally be considered and the thought oi
 an assessment to raise the money dis
 turbs some people If this were a few years later there might be occasion for l a more serious view. The farmers will ! then have their annual assessments fol | the reservoir to meet, whereas at the i present time and all the time until the present they have had no expense eX ! cept the trivial assessment for the in | cidentals of the association. If the
 building project is undertaken now th'
 structure can be put up. paid for and ! be occupied before the reservoir as-
 sessments begin. and then during tn 1 years while those assessments hani over the members, there will be n ] rent to pay.

THE CHICAGO PLAN
 OF EXAMINATION
EXTENDING TO BANKS OF OTHER
 CITIES.
A Clearing House Investigation of Con
 ditions.

Chicago. June 2O.-The movement for clearing house examination 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 ar engagement supplement the work of the federal and state examiners by sub hitting to examination by @ regular agent of the clearing house, with the idea of mutual protection and the fur ther safeguarding of the funds of de- positOrs. which have now reached the enormous total of twelve and half billion dollars for the whole United States. The plan was first put into effect about three years ago, largely through the efforts of one bank, the National Bank of the Republic. The Walsh banks were in course of liqui- dation at the time, and when the mo- tion to adopt was put in the clearing house by Vice President w. T. Fenton, it was regarded as an important step toward effective cooperation on the part of banking interests, and one which would put wise check on any reckless tendencies of individual mem bers which might be prejudicia; to the safety of others. Later, during the panic of 1907, the system naturally re- suite in confident unity of action | through the stormy days when cur rency payments were partially sus- pended, because of the knowledge each member of the clearing house had that l it was not threatened by unknown weaknesses on the part of some fellow ! institution with which it had dealings. As a result the St. Louis clearing house and those in Los Angeles and several other cities have already adopt' | ed it. and 1t is understood that clearing | houses in Philadelphia and other large | eastern money centers are likely to fol- low suit Meanwhile deposits in Chi cago banks have grown at a remarka- ble rate. Figures for the last twelve months, which have just been com piled, show several record gains, amounting to as much as $3,500000 in the case of the National Bank of the Republic. Three small banks have gone out of business during the year, or been absorbed by others, and cash resources of the remaining ones have | increased in proportion until now they are nearly ouble the 25 per cent legal requirement.

WATER TEMPLE FOR
 WATER USERS ASSN.
Project Receives the Endorsement ot Engineer L. C. Hill as Move m 'he Interest of Economy.

The question of the advisabilitv Of building a water temple" on the lot recently bought by the Salt River Val ley Water Users association, Is now a very pertinent one as the board or governors will shortly be called upon to take further action in the matter The project is heartily endorsed by al most all who are directly interested s" far as they have been heard rom There has been however some contrary opinion expressed. which makes the discussion of it timely Engineer l.. C. HHl of the reclamation service Was asked yesterday to express himself on the subject and did so freely, 1aForlhg the project unequiVocally.
 Mr. Hilrs views are surely desirable as he is at the head of the service which will occupy at least a half of the building when it is built. He fav- ors the project for two reasons pri- marily a dozen others incidentally Ihe two reasons are first economy and second the value of the advertising 1t will give the valley.
 There are some critics who assume without thinking that the move to put lip a building is merely to gratify the vanity of the association. or fill up the rest of the Y. NJ. C. A. block with buildings. on the contrary it was con- ceived solely as a business proposition It is true that the association at this time does not require a vast amount of room and has but few employees but it is true that the reclamation service has many employees. is in cramped quarters that are by no means the best suited for the work of the service. Ii is true also that the office force of the reclamation service will begin to di- minish before a great while. but just as fast as it does the force in the as- sociat ton will necessarily increase. As the government eliminates itself from the project the association will have to take hold There may be fewer draftsmen but there will be more ad- ministrative officials and plenty oi work so that it is not thought there will ever be fewer employees in the combined office service here in the valley than now.
 It is true also that the expenses oi the reclamation service on this project will finally have to be borne by the farmers of the valley. wherefore the service and the association should be considered as one in this discussion

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 336
 acres of city property which it needs
 for industrial purposes at a cost of
 only $1GO an acre, or less than the
 value of good Illinois farm land. Ac- cording to real estate men here, who
 have begun to investigate the matter,
 this is an absurd figure, and breaks
 all low price records. In support of this intention interesting statements are being compiled showing high and low prices paid for city property, many of which are of general inter- est, as showing the immense values of urban real estate due to recent con centratiOn of business in the big cities. The most valuable property in the city, according 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 | &, 5,000,00O an acre. This is based on | the last estimate of the county as- | sessors and board of review, which is considered to be conservative. At that | rate every square inch of space in | the shopping district is worth a dol | lar The lake front, now largely oc- | cupied by the Illinois Central rail
 road. is figured to be only slightly
 less valuable. A hundred-foot strip o1 | land on Michigan avenue between the l public library and Twelfth street is 1 put at $10,S60,000. Sales of office | buildings and property inside the looI district have now become very rare
 as a result of those high prices. and | have been replaced to a large extent | by long term leases. Occasional | transfers are recorded. however, for
 $1 ,OOO, 900 or $1,5OOOOO, and prices are ] slowly increasing In view of these

Board Of Equalization to Send
Appraiser Out Over State.

Although the county assessors who
assembled in Denver Tuesday and yes
terday made the substantial increase of
SIP, ,OOO, 900 in their local assessments,
members Of the state board of equali-
cation are not pleased with the result.
Gov. :Shafrath said yesterday that
the county assessors should have raised
their assessments to s25, 100000, and
that the board of equalization would
send an appraiser into all the counties
of the state to check up assessed valua-
tions, and thot the board would then
raise valuations wherever they thought
ahem to be low. And when this has
been accomplished it is the plan of the
board to put fiat raise of 10 per cent.
upon all but few counties, which have
satisfied the board of equalization.

Prepare Big Protest.

Protesting against the proposed re-

sented to President Taft on his arrival
in Denver. The Transmississippi con-
gress will turn the long list of names
over to the president.
The petition recites that to take from
circulation such an amount of money to
make way for bank notes would place
the power of contracting and expanding
the circulating medium in the hands of
the banking classes. 1t is further con-
tended that the demands of commerce
require the increased coinage of silver
and gold and that to put the silver
money out of the circulation would
prove hardship on the country.

The Home Merchant.

Without any thought of sentiment
Or suggestion that We owe allegiance
to anyone, the cold, hard truth is that
the re.al merchants OF our home towns
are the best friends we have, says an
exchange.
The retail merchant conducts a
school OF commerce for our education
and the tuition is free. Every man,
woman and child gets the benefit of see
ing in the home town about anything
that is of real Importance. He pro-
tects us against fraud and deceit. He
stands for the square deal.
You never ordered 5000 lightning
rod Of your home merchant and then
found your note for thousand dollars
in the bank next day as the result.
You never paid him $780, for range
that warped out of shape in six months
without your wife getting the money
back. He never charged you $500
for trailer" buggy that you found
afterwards could be bought anywhere
for $1,000.
No, the home merchant is just like
you. He lives where he does business
and his success depends on making a
friend of you and your neighbor. Like
you, he has to make good.
The retail merchant is now the one
great factor in our commercial system
and this is true solely because he rem
ders us better service than we can get
elsewhere. Take him away and our
home town is gone; take our home
town away and we deprive our children
Of the retail store, which is the great
est single educational factor in modern
life. No, it can not be. The retail
merchant will continue to abide in our
affections so long as we value our
homes. because the average citizen is
proud of his town Che always tells how
close his farm is to it, and he secretly
desplses the methods of peddlers-a
the peddler system is now known to be
the legitimate father of the whole cat
alogue house business.
