BOSTON, Jan. 2S.-The Commercial

Welcome Depositors.

"Of course our duty is to welcome

an the official intimatiOn which will
be sent to sinners after January 1. 1t
will be pointed out that the cost of
running the savings bank has been ap-
preciably increased during recent years
by this habit of using the bank as a
current account instead of for the pur-
pose of saving money. People will be
asked to do their business with as few
separate payments or Withdrawals as
possible
I'm particularly bad cases it has been
decided to forward the offending de-
positor a carefully Worded notice
pointing out that the frequent paying
in and drawing out of small sums is
an abuse of the privileges of the bank

LOCAL OPTION
FORCES GATHER
DAYTON DRYS PREPARING TO
OPEN CAMPAIGN AND VETS
ARE GETTING BUSY.
THOUGH DRY BY COUNCILS
ORDER TOWN WILL VOTE TO
LEARN PEOPLES WILL.

DAYTON, Wash, Jan. 2S.-(Spec-
ial.)-"Dry" Dayton will vote on local
option March 20. This was assured
Monday when the nine petitions which
have been circulated calling for a
special election on that date, were
filed with the city clerk. 1t was lit
tie trouble to secure the necessary
number of signatures. VETS" and
"drys" signed with equal alacrity, the
'wets" believing that special cleo
ton will turn the defeat of Decem-
Der 1908, when the saloons were voted
out, into victory and the 'drys" eager
to risk everything in an effort to Sc
cure more stringent regulations.
That the coming fight is to be
bitter one is shown by the fact that
registration for the first two weeks,
eclipses that of any previous election
Over 275 have registered, which means
that already half of the voters of the
city are waiting for the polls to open
The "drys" according to the Rev. G.
A. Housed, one of the leaders, are ex-
pecting to organize for active campaign
work in the next few days, while on
the other hand the "Wets" are said
to be secretly organizing for the pur-
pose Of reversing their recent defeat
If local option is defeated 1t viii
mean the return of the saloons fol
two years. Owing to the fact that
Dayton is the first town in the North
west to vote on local option in ar
effort to make q "drier" town, wide
spread interest is attaching to the
situation here.

PROSECUTION
CLOSES CASE
HENEY FINISHES TESTIMONY OF
WITNESSES AND DEFENSE
TO HAVE INNINGS.
JUDGE WOLVERTON ADJOURNS
COURT UNTIL MONDAY-DE-
TENSE GIVES EVIDENCE.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 2S.-The
prosecution today rested it's case in
the trial of former Congressman Bin
ger Hermann, charged with conspiracy
to defraud the government and with
out loss of time, the defense begun
the introduction of testimony. Not
sufficient progress had been made
when court adjourned, to disclose the
line it will follow; further than that
one of the points will be an attempt
to prove that Hermann as commits
sioner opposed the creation or eX-
tension of forest reserves unless the
lieu land act should be repealed or
materially modified.
w. Scott Smith, private secretary
of Secretary of the Interior E. A.
Hitchcock, testified that early in 1901
the secretary sent for Commissioner
Hermann and called his attention to
serious "leaks" in his department.
Hitchcock, the witness testified, told
Hermann that individual lawyers were
informing him of official action on
matters of which Hitchcock had not
been advised. Hitchcock told Her
mann that such procedure must be
stopped. or the secretary would him

IRREGULAR APPEARANCE
Trade Situation Affected by Various
Outside Disturbances

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-R. G. Dun
and company's weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
Measured by such tests as bank
clearingS and railroad earnings, there
is no visible dimunition in the VOL
ume of industrial and mercantile trans
actions; and yet, with such happening
as the English elections, the Paris
flood, the agitation over high prices,
and the rather violent break in the
New York stock market it would be
strange. indeed, if the various trades
did not. in some degree, feel the eff
feet of these disturbances. Then,
weather conditions have been in places,
unfavOrable to distribution.
Therefore the situation presents an
irregular appearance, dut to an uneven
trade development This irregularity
to some extent, in the iron and steel
trade, although an event of the week
was the declaration of an extra divi
dend by the principal producers. The
decline in security prices, the recent
fall in cotton and the tendency to low
er values for some foOdstuffs are like
~ to make the situation more whole

MCGEE testified that he had taken this
report to Hermann and that Hermann
had told MCGEE that the commissions

son to pass on the report.
For the defense, Colonel Worthinc-
ton opened by introducing a mass of
documentary evidence consisting of
official reports made by Hermann. and
correspondence signed by him as COM
missioner. These documents showed
that Hermann had on repeated occa-
sions spoken of the frauds in the ex-
change of school lands included with
in the reserves for government lands
located outside the reserves Also
that Hermann had in several instances
opposed the creation of new forest
reserve, or the extension of the
boundaries of those already es-
tablished, and that Hermann in
dictated that he would continue his
opposition until the lieu land law had
been repealed or amended so as to
provide that the land within a re-
serve could be exchanged only for land
of like character outside of the re-
serve. The defense was still engaged
in the submission of documentary ev-
idence when Judge WOlverton ad-

Dealers Kept Busy Filling Orders For
Spring Goods From Retailers

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
Cross currents in demand render
general characterization difficult.
Wholesale and jObbing trade in spring
goods tends to expand, travellers on
the road are sending in better orders
and the outlook for the future in those
lines is optimistic. Retail trade fol-
lowing the activity engendered by Jam
uary clearance sales is quieter, pend
ing the further advance of the win
ter season. Filling in orders from re-
tailers to jobbers are moderate. Man
ufacturing industry is very busily en-
ployed with large orders ahead.
There are some evidences that a
spirit of conservatism is being engend-
cred by the breaks in securities and
cotton, the talk of government prose-
cutiOns of alleged unlawful cOmbina-
| tons, and the widespread revolt against
high food prices. Evidences of this are
| found in the hesitation reported in
some branches of the iron trade, and
reflection of the last mentioned devel-
opment is had in a very general reduc-
ton of prices of livestock, meats, eggs,
butter and Kindred products.
