ma Trading Is Mission of
William CoIey

vessel had aboard not so much as a
pistol and that sawmill outfit con-
stituted her sole cargo was the asser-
ton made today by Norfolk agents of

This statement was in response to
a report that the William Coley had
been purchased by a person closely
connected with former President Ze-
laya of Nicaragua and had sailed from
Norfolk June 26 for Bluefields as a
possible filibusterer. It was further
stated that the Coley for a number of
years was a w1ecking steamer on this
coast and had been sold to the COM
pany generate, James M. Deitrick,
general manager, and was on her way
to Bluefields via Jacksonville, Fla,
and Kingston, Jamaica, where she
would be used in barging bananas,
principally on the Rio Grande river,
Nicaragua.

steamer, the Fortuna, was to be sent

INDIAN CHIEFS PLAN
TO BUILD OWN TOWNS
Braves Attending Big Sun to Stop
Rowing Habit

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklo., July a.
Indian chiefs attending the Big Sun-or
Willow-dances, at Big Jake's crossing
near Clinton, Okla, announced today
that they had decided to build num-
ber of towns In which only Indians
would be permitted to live.
1t is planned that these towns shall
be governed solely by Indians, who
shall have their own stores and shops,
doctors, lawyers and other professional
and business men.
1t is believed that this will do much
to break up the rowing habit among
the red men of Western Oklahoma and
give them better opportunities in an
economic way
The Indians own much land on which
desirable town lots could be located.
J. w Strongheart, grandson of Sit
ting Bull, in advocating various re-
forms among the Indians said that re-
ligion and less politics was needed in
the Indian missions and schools.

IAssociated Press1

NEW YORK, July 2.-The statement
of clearing house banks for the week
shows that the banks hold $18,91S, ,450
more than the requirements of the 20
per cent reserve rule. This is a de-
crease of SO, 956,175 in the proportionate
cash reserve as compared with last

The associated banks of New York
city, according to the statement of ac-
tual conditions published Saturday,
lost within the week about two-thirds
of their reserve the surplus standing
July at $500. 800. compared with over
$25, 900, 900 reported the week previous
The striking feature of the current
week was a decrease of approximately
$19, 100000 in specie and legal tender.
This was three times the amount in
dicated by the preliminary estimates
based on known transactions with the
interior and the sub-treasury. The
heavy decrease Is due probably to COM
plications connected with the enormous
July 1 dividend disbursements, which
broke all former records. There. was
some surprise also at the increase of
$9,S13,S 500 in loans, as the logical ten
dency based on the weeks business
was toward contraction rather than ex-
pansion in this item.
Deposits fell $9995,S00 as a result of
the operations noted above, and the
cash reserve in the banks is now only
25.7e per cent as against 27.11 per cent
for the previous week. The statement
based on averages showed an expan-
sion of fifteen and three fourths mill
lions in loans, a decrease Of little over

Car of King Davids for Stark Bros.
Will Not Be Exhibited at
Spokane.

T. H. Atkinson, manager for Stark

King David apples. 1t will be ship
ped direct to the nursery company
at Louisiana, Mo. 1t was the orig
inal intention to exhibit this carload
at Spokane in the apple show. This
has been found to be impractible.
The King David is a comparative
ly new variety and its ability to
withstand the ordeal of exhibition is
unknown. To endanger the fruit
might entail a loss of $1400 to the
nursery company.
An examination of the apples is
a revelation. The wonderful lustre
and deep red color make the display
one not soon to be forgotten. Doubt
less the carload would have been the
sensation at the apple show.

This is the regular semi-annual
visit of Mr.. Insinger to this section
He came here first II years ago and
last night INDUCED in "reminiscences
of the early days.
Mr.. Muysken is a director of the
bank which is the medium of invest
ment through this section of a vas.
amount of Holland money. The OBJ
ject of the present visit was to de-
eide whether to increase the loans
for the future. The gentlemen were
pleased to state to the Daily World
that they were more favorably i'm
pressed than ever before with the
future of the Wenatchee valley
They have no hesitation in making
loans here under the proper restric-
tons.
The present visit is the first one
for Mr. Muysken. He said that
everything seemed very strange to
him because so entirely iifferen,
from anything he has ever seen be-
fore. He did not know what to think
of it all and was very reticent about
expressing any opinion.
This morning the financiers went
to Waterville. In years past the
bank has loaned more money in that
section than around Wenatchee.
