Blame Put Upon Washington.

1t still pleases the mood of the street
to blame Washington for the bulk of the
trouble. Developments in that Capital Of
Unrest continue to disturb and terrify.
The interests refuse to blame themselves
for encouraging overspeculation and in
sIst on making Washington the goat. All
this talk about high prices, trust oppres-
son and loudly expressed complaints
about universal hard times in the face OF
apparent prosperity come at very en-
lbarraSsing time. The lash of popular
criticism falls on Wall street just when
lit is passing through one of those i'm
pleasant experiences incidental to DOL
collapSeS and failures which direct atten.
tion to the neglect of the stock exchange
to inaugurate those reforms within Itself
which it has promised as immunity from
hostile legislation.
All these things contribute to the gen
eral discomfort of the financial com
munity and tend to make people want 70
get close to shore and stay there until
the clouds roll by. Many people are
voicing the inquiry, Have we not been
overdiscounting the early stages of re-
turned prosperity, and has not the de-
cline in prices of stocks merely reflected
a sasacious foreknowledge of the fact?''
On this point there is now going on u
very earnest discussion among those who
try to keep an open mind on the bust
ness situation and who are always will
try to figure out the consequences. This
IS what gives to the market two sides.
Surplus Crop Reports.
Advices from the surplus crop states
are very generally to the effect that the
outlook for this years farm production
is better than usual. The heavy blanket
of snow which fell throughout the west
insures plenty of moisture and makes II
certain that farmers will begin the sea
son under the best of auspices. That is
considered a good many points in the
game and is already having an effect on
i sentiment. A big crop this year would

ting the backset which securities and
general business have encountered There
fore a strong bulish prayer is being
raised that conditions may continue ia
vorable and that the country may enter
upon the spring months with prospects
bright.
The banking and bond house of Fisk
Robinson & Co. went down with the good
will of the whole of Wall street. It is
generally looked upon as great misfor-
tune that a house of it's high character
should be obliged to close it's doors. 1t
was a white mans firm if there ever was
one in the banking field. The partners
were men of the highest character, and
the house tried to win out by doing
business on clean and patriotic plane.

HUGH LAVERTY KILLED
Tragedy Occures In Cabin
Near Kamiah.

Hugh Laverty, a we'll known
mining operator of the Pardee
and Lolo districts, a few miles
below Kamiah, was shot and
Killed Sunday by Ernest Thomas,
a fifteen-year old boy. The boy
admits the killing of Laverty but
states he was directed to do so
under most unsual circumstances.
The boys story is, that as he
and Laverty were about to enter
a cabin, he was seized by a man
who placed a shot gun in his
hands, and pressing a revolver
to his head, commanded him to
shoot Laverty, who was nearby.
The boy says in his fright he
obeyed the command. He states
there were three men, but can
give no description Of them.
Laverty was well known IN the
Elk City country, having spent
several summers in this district.

WORK IN TEN
MILE DISTRICT
Everything Moving Along
Nicely at Present.

At the Gilt Edge they have
driven the drift so feet on the
ledge from the station on the 100
foot level. The ledge here shows
5 feet Of good clean ore that
carries high values.
The contractors on the Gold
Bug are driving the cross-cut
tunnel. and as soon as the car
and rails arrive another shift will
be put on.
On the Wonder, which is under
bond to Spokane parties, they
have started work on a tunnel on
the Buckhorn side Of Gold Ridge.
This property has the best tunnel
sites in this district.
The Comet, which parallels
the Wonder on the south, has a
$50 foot tunnel on the Ten Mile
side Of the ridge, which gives
them quite a depth. The tunnel
follows the ledge all the way
and shows pay ore.
The lower tunnel on the Silver
Crown is now near the ledge, but
some soft material is causing
them trouble.
The lower cr0ss-cut tunnel on
the Seventeen, on Pioneer hill,
has cut a small vein, about
feet wide, that carries good
values, but nothing will be done
with this until the main ledge /.
reached.

Fires Near Elk City Are
Under Control.
RAIN HELPS FIGHTERS WIN
Large Fires on Forest Reserve
Still Burning.

The forest fire situation in so
far as the safety Of Elk City is
concerned, is now under control.
The rain Monday night, enabling
the men to work to advantage.
The fire between town and
American river burned over quite
a large area, and destroyed con-
siderable valuable timber, but
after fighting it day and night it
was stopped at the river, and no
further damage is looked for in
this direction.
The one that threatened to do
the worst damage, and cutoff
all communication with the out
side world was at Buffalo gulch
but Forester Porter called on the
citizens Of Elk City, who willing
ly responded, and the flames
were gotten under control before
they reached the heavy timber
through which the stage road
runs.
The large fires on the forest re
serve east Of the city are still
raging, although the men are
making heroic Efforts to check
them. The fire on the head Of
the Selway seems to be the
worst, although it is not in as
valuable timber as the one on the
Little Salmon.
A fire is burning on Iron noun
trim near NeWsome, and several
men have been sent to fight d..

BERLIN POLICE WOMAN
HAS NO TIME TO IDLE
Guardian of Youthful Delin-
quentS Is Busy Official

BERLIN, Feb. 26.-Fraulein Margaret
Dittmer, who was appointed on the
Berlin police staff in October, 1908, has
had no fewer than 604 cases to deal
with since she began her service.
Her work consists in acting as the
guardian of youthful delinquents, waits
and children who are i'll treated by
their parents. The former are commit
ted TO her charge to deal with as she
thinks fit, either to place them in re-
formatories or to restore them to their
parents after she has investigated the
circumstances.
Waits are placed in orphanages, and
in cases of parental cruelty, which have
been proved in court, 1T is F'raulein
Dittmer's duty to visit the homes at
irregular intervals to prevent the of
fense being repeated.
OF the 165 school boys and girls who
ran away from their homes in the
provinces to Berlin last year the ma
jority, says Fraulein Dittmer came to
the capital to view che imperial palace.
The remainder either came through a
spirit of adventure fired by reading
thrilling stories or because their parents
were too severe with them over their
lessons.
