Weak National Banks to Go Out of Business

For short time only the national
banks in the United States rated as
weak" will have chance to strength
en- themselves or go out of business.
The statement of the condition of
every national bank in the country at
the close of business Sept. will be
the last chance to show capital i'm
paired, any reduction of its reserve un-
der the limit and bad paper in its
vaults, or any concealed liabilities.
Acting on the principle that it is bet
ter to liquidate weak bank, pay off
the depositors and save some Of the in
vestment of the shareholders, Comp
troller Murray will use the authority of
his office, which is absolute, to compel
sound banking in the strong institu-
tions, and force the weak ones to
strengthen or retire.

COMMERCIAL CLUB SMOKER
Large Crowd Attend and Much Enthusi-
asm Shown-LunCh Served

The smoker which was held in the
rooms of the Commercial club last Fri
day night proved to be both interesting
and instructive. The smoker was well
advertised, and one of the largest
crowds ever entertained since the club
was organized turned out.
R. E. Trumble, professor of horti-
culture in the Wenatchee school, was
present and gave most interesting
talk on apple tree canker, a fruit tree
disease which has found lodgment in
this part OF the valley. He explained
how he determined what the disease
was, and the remedy which he found
efficacious. He also told the assem-
bled fruit growers, who were we'll rep
resented, just how and when to spray
for canker.
Since he was first invited to come
here and investigate this apple tree dis
ease he has made most exhaustive
study of the matter, which his lecture
indicated. The club extended him a
vote OF thanks, and will no doubt in
vite him to come here at some future
time.
After the lecture and some discus
sion on horticulture the ladies of the
Catholic church served a delicious
lunch, which was enjoyed immensely.
The lunch was followed by a smoker
and social intercourse Of an hours du-
ration.
That these meetings beget good
feeling and interest in club work no
one who was present doubts. We un-
derstand that other meetings of SINH
lar kind will follow at short intervals, of
which due notice will be given.

No Change Probable in Local Option Law

The result OF the primaries indicates
that there will be no change in the
local option law this year. In few
counties friends of the prohibition
workers were elected, but the general
results indicate that the voters are
willing to give the present law more
thorough trial before effecting any
change. The law has worked out
satisfactorily wherever it has been tried,
and is so utterly fair in allowing each
community to settle the liquor ques-
ton for itself, that any Legislators who
,rifie with it, or try to take up the time
of the coming session with another long
drawn out fight like that which occu-
pied the minds of the lawmakers in
1909, will make themselves unpopular.
II the eternal liquor question can be
eliminated from the discussions OF the
Legislature, many of the nominees be-
lieve that body can proftably spend its
time in cutting down the public
expenses, instead of fighting for the
entire session and then railroading an
enormous appropriations bill thru in
closing hours, as was done two years
ago.

The Tacoma News on Monday, Sept.
10, gave up its entire columns to the
editorial efforts of women, the Women S
Number being in charge of Mrs. Emma
Smith De Voc, president of the Wash
ington Equal Suffrage Association.
Mrs. De Voc appointed the editorial
staff, which comprised some of the
most prominent women in the state,
and turned out a first class newspaper,
only limited portion being devoted
to the suffrage campaign, while women S
activities in all the walks of life were
treated in various articles. The news
of the day was also we'll covered.
Mrs De Voc is conducting a Kitchen
Contest thru the columns of the Ia
coma daily, in which prizes are being
offered for the best articles dealing
with ways and means of improving
household work, making the work of
the home keeper less complicated and
more efficient. The suffrage leaders
are anxious to let the people realize
that it is not only the ballot that they
are working for, but the general i'm
provement of the condition OF woman
kind, especially along the lines Of
making her better wife and a better
housekeeper. On primary day in
many cities groups of suffrage workers
handed out suffrage literature at the
polls.

The theatrical trust has officially
invaded Seattle, and that city is to have
a new theatre, described by Marc
Klaw, of Klaw & Erlanger, as the finest
in the west. The senior partner of
the big theatrical combination was in
the city last week, making deal for
the immediate erection of the big new
theatre, which will stand on the old
University OF Washington grounds, and
will be known as the Metropolitan
Theatre. John Cort, the local theat-
rical magnate, has strong line Of
independent attractions booked for this
season, and will have things more or
less his own way until the new Klaw &
Erlanger show house is built. After
that the big fight will be on, and the
Northwest will see the best line Of
dramatic attractions it has ever had.
The Klaw & Erlanger forces will either
buy, build or control houses all over
the Northwest, and the independents
will try to do the same.

The flow of immigration into this
state has received a new impetus this
month by the Inauguration of month
during which the leading railroads are
granting special colonist rates from
eastern points to the Northwest. These
rates have formerly been confined to
a few months in the spring, when the
westward travel of new settlers has
always been heavy. People have the
moving spirit in the spring season, and
for that reason the special rates have
always been advertised at that season.
Now the railroads have decided that
wise settlers will come west in the fall,
when business is at its best. If they
settle in the cities they have the advant-
age OF starting in when the return of
activity comes after the summer lull.
If they take up land or buy farms, they
have the winter to prepare for spring
sowing, to erect necessary buildings,
fences, etc. Reports of the first few
days of the autumn colonist rates on the
Northern Pacific indicates that the plan
will be a success, and other roads will
probably handle good business. A
uniform west-bound rate of $25 from
St. Paul and Missouri River points,
$33 from Chicago, and $32 from St.
Louis has been made to attract new
corners.

lem consists OF determining how gov
eminent can maintain an even balance
between aggregatsons of interest on the
one hand and the whole people on the
other, protecting the latter against ex-
tortion and saving the former from as
saults.
The solution is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the situation
is without precedent. But is not
progress being made along sane and
cautious lines2 Surely no menace to
property or to human rights lies in the
striving for such a solution. Both will
be safe guarded by its certain finding. "

Progressive Candidates for Supreme Court

No sooner had the primaries of Sept.
Is been decided and the news of the
Insurgent victory spread over the state
than it became known that the next
move of the Progressives will be to
nominate ticket of Supreme Court
judges, to oppose the five present
incumbents who were nominated for
reelection by the recent Republican
convention in Tacoma. This action
by the Insurgents, after they have
swept the state with senatorial and
congressional nominees, has been the
most exciting news in the political
arena, and it is somewhat complicated
by the fact that the Democrats hold a
convention in Tacoma on Sept. 81 to
nominate Supreme Court judges.
Rufus R. Wilson, who managed the
Poindexter campaign, is secretary Of
the Non-Partisan Judiciary League,
which will hold a convention in Tacoma
Sept. 26 and name the Insurgent can
didates for the Supreme Court. The
league will also declare itself in favor of
the nomination of Supreme Court
judges in the direct primary, but on
non-partisan ballot, just as Superior
Court judges are now nominated.
The direct primary law does not pro-
vide for the holding of conventions by
new parties except on primary day,
hence it is believed that the Non
Partisan League will nominate a ticket
comprising one or two of the present
judges, one or two Insurgents and two
Democrats. This ticket the Democrats
will endorse on the following day,
when they convene in Tacoma, and the
ticket will appear on the ballots in No
vember as a Democrat ticket. 1t is
expected to have the support Of
Democrats and Progressive Republicans
at the election, in whicn case it will
have every chance of success. Among
the candidates mentioned as likely to
appear on the non-partisan ballot are
two Of the present judges, Rudkin and
Fullerton, and two prominent Demo-
Gratis, William Hickman Moore, former
mayor of Seattle, and jeremiah Neterer,
once a Judge OF the Supreme Court
and later Superior Court judge in What
com County. The nomination of such
ticket will be protest against the
convention system of nominating
judges, which will likely result in the
return Of the judicial nomination to the
direct primary as soon as the legisla-
ture meets.

The city of Ellensburg is overun
with rats. They are so numerous as to
be considered a menace to property
and to public health, and the health
officer has wired authorities of coast
cities for the best known way of ridding
the country of the pest. Up to a year
ago rodents were almost unknown in
Ellensburg.

Mr.. H. L. Blanchard, assistant su-
perintendent OF the Western Washing
ton experiment station, had charge of a
car loaded with model buildings for an
up-to-date poultry plant, with exhibits
of feeds, and several pens of good and
undesirable fowls.
Concerning the feeding of hens for
egg production he said that laying
hens should have variety of grains,
with meat scraps or milk, grit, shell or
ground bone, and always plenty of
green feed, either alfalfa, clover, cut
lawn grass, mangels, kale, lettuce or
cabbage. Green feed he emphasized
as the all important part OF chickens
feed.
Grains he said should be fed in lit
ter, so that the hens would have to
scratch for this feed. Bran and beef
scraps should be kept in hoppers and
always available, so that in case the
birds are unable to fill their crops by
scratching in the litter for grain they
may, before going to roost, help them
selves at the hoppers.
He said that better results would be
secured by keeping the heavy birds,
White Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, etc.,
in an enclosure, about IS birds to a pen
25x50 feet, with laying house 12x15.
Two runways should be used for each
laying house, one on either side, the
runs being cultivated and sown to
grass, or alfalfa, or some other crop up
on alternate years. Mr.. Blanchard

For winter injury, Prof. Thornber
advised cutting out the severely in
jured parts of the tree, and re-shaping
by pruning. Where the heart wood
becomes black it is not necessary to
cut out the tree, but simply to give it
good, thorough tillage the next season.
To avoid winter injury he advised COW
er crops, hairy vetch or fall wheat sown
in August, and cessation of cultivation
about the first of September.

Violators of Law Find Fortune

Violators of Law Find Fortune,
"One of the richest strikes in recent
years in Alaska resulted from the eff
forts of two prospectors TO evade the
officers of the law said Thomas l..
Jessup of Portland. Ore. "These
lucky fellows were prospecting on a
large scale. They were proceeding along
the Yukon river in a fftyfoot steamer
that looked more like house boat than
crudely constructed river vessel. 1t
was a fiat bottomed, side wheeler af
fair, and it was certain TO be held up
by anv boat Inspector with two eyes
in his head. These chaps knew this
but they were taking q chance. So
when friend brought them the tip that
the inspectors were coming. they did
the only thing left-they ran away
They ran their ramshackle boat into the
Intoke river, and from that into one of
the smaller streams that fed the In
toke. Here they tied up to wait for
the inspectors to get out of that part
of the country. Being very energetic
gentlemen, they proceeded TO do a little
prospecting TO pass away the time. In
day or so they struck paying streak
OF coarse shot gold. 1t was a great find
and they staked out claims for them
selves and the men who were interested
with them in the expedition.
''Before last winter set in there was
at least 2OO0 prospectors on the scene,
and more of them have been going there
this summer. The new camp is about
700 miles from Fairbanks. There may
be a moral in this incident. but for the
life of me | can 7 figure out what it is.
But it's pretty certain that if those
prospectors hadn I violated the law
they wouldn t have found a fortune.
