WESTERN BANK LOANS.

Beyond question the most interest
ing factor in the current financial sit,
uation is the large expansion of bank
loans in the West, through 1909 and the
past six months. These loans have
left the Western banks with little cur
Irency to send East and kept low the re-
serve of the reserve cities, New York
Philadelphia and Chicago. Not even
the drain of $30,000,00O of gold sent
abroad in May altered this.
George NJ. Reynolds, of the Chicago
Continental National Bank, who at As
becomes the president of the CONNER
cal, consolidated with the Continental,
lays these expanded loans in an article

chases of farmers Crops have been
high for three years. Farms have made
large profits. Farmers in the central
Mississippi Valley States have been
liberal purchasers Of lands in the
newer and remote sections of the coua-
try, with view of acquiring land SUN
cient to provide their children VIII
farms Joined to speculative realty
sales this has created an expansion OF
bank loans in the interior, which
reaches $500,00O,000 if not more.
The average country banker has
been taken by surprise" He did not
realize that the loans he was max ng
would be used to pay distant purch-
asses. His reserves have been pulled
down. He has had tAlraw on his
Eastern reserves. Ordinarily around
March 1 the average country banker,
says Mr.. Reynolds, is obliged to make
many loans in real estate mortgages
Heretofore these mortgages have been
turned into money very readily after
March l." THIS year, though Offered
at per cent, as against in previous
years, the mortgages do not move

KILL THE FLIES-KEEP DOWN
DISEASE.

In the May number of the National
Geographic Magazine, published by
the Nat. onaI Geographic Society
Washington, the leading article is a
seasonable paper on the house fly il

1t is not pleasant reading, but 1t
would be well if all householders and
housewives would study it carefully
and act on its recommendations The
thesis maintained by the author, Mr.. n.
A. Cobb, who evidently has made a
long and careful study of the subject,
s, that so far from the musca dom
estica, being the harmless and in
nocent though troublesome little crea,
ture he is usually supposed to be, he
is in reality one of the worst enemies
of mankind, the most active and in
dustrious distributor of typhoid, tuber-
culosis, cholera infantum and other
d seases known. Born in filth and
offal, he scents these wherever they
exist and carries them to our kitchens,
our table, our nurseries and our cham
bers, with the most direful and fatal
results. The author says:
PLIES kill a greater number of hui
man beings than all the beasts Of prey.
with all the poisonous serpents added
They sJread disease which Stays thous-
ands
He wipes his feet on the food that
you eat, on the faces and on the lips of
your sleeping children. THIS does
more to spread typhoid and cholera
infantum and other intestinal diseases
than any other cause"
The author closes his article with a
number of warning "donts," which we
would all do well to heed:
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't permit them near your food.
especially milk.
Don't have feeding places where fl, es
can load themselves with elections
from typhoid or dysenteric patients.
Don't allow your fruits and confec-
tons to be exposed to swarms of flies.
Don't let flies crawl over the baby's
mouth and swarm upon the nipple of
its nursing bottle
Clean up your premises, inside and
out, and then as much as you can see
that others do the same.
Keep flies away from the kitchen.
out of the dining room and away from
the sick, especially from those ill with
contagious disease.
Prevent consumptives from expec-
tor2ting where flies can feed upon it.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is to destroy flies in every poss bic
way.
"A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
poison, one which is not dangerous to
human life, is bichromate of potash in
solution. Dissolve one dram, which
can be bought at any drug store, IN
two ounces of water, and add in a lit
tie sugar Put some of this solut on in
shallow dishes and distribute them
about the house"
Let all Unite in a crusade against
flies and thus help to reduce the NOR
tally lists.

And hear the prayer she prayed;

Tears gathering in her eye,

ABSTRACT COMPA-
MES TO COMBINE

1t is understood that there is plan
on foot to combine the Hood River
Abstract Company, of which j. M.
Schmeltzer is secretary, and the Wau-
coma Abstract Company, in which
Messrs. Bishop, Wentz and Howe are
interested. While the managers of
both companies acknowledged yester-
day that negotiations were under way
for consolidation they insisted that
definite agreement had been reached
as yet. 1t is probable, however, that
by the end of this week the combina-
tion will have been completed. The
fact that the Waucoma company has
taken it's advertisement from The Gla-
eier is indicative of the intention to
combine under the name of the older
company and it is understood that
Messrs. Schmeltzer and Bishop will be
the chief owners of the new concern,
it being the intention of their present
respective associate to engage in other
business.

BILL CANCER FOR
SHERIFF. DEMOCRAT

Republican candidates for county
offices are beginning to show up pretty
thick during the past week since the
selection of the delegates to the county
assembly, but the first Democrat to
show his head above the water is Con-
stable Bill Ganger, who acknowledges
that he would accept the nomination
for County Sheriff on the Democrat
ticket. Bill, who is also chief of the
fire department and an ex-city mar
shal, says he has it figured out that
the county would be better off with
some Democrat officers and while it is
possible that the members of the mi
nority party may not be numerous
enough to furnish all the officers, that
he for one would be willing to be the
official peace officer and tax collector.
He says that in spite of the fact that
nearly all of the counties of the state
are strongly Republican, the majority
of them have Democrat sheriffs and,
while he does not insinuate that the
Republicans need Democrat to hold
them level, he thinks that this is good
