District Attorney

Another of the new officials who
will take Office tomorrow is Clarence
J. McFadden, who was elected to the
office of district attorney by a splen-
polls was the more complimentary
to him from the fact that he had
running against him one of the
brightest legal luminaries of the dis
triet; for none stands higher in the
profession than James Lockhart,
both as a lawyer and man.
Mr.. McFadden came here from
Salt Lake in the early days, and
soon proved himself a most capable
lawyer, and a man of rare intelli-
gence and discrimination. During
his residence in the district he has
been on one side or the other of
some of the most interesting and in
volved litigation which has come be-
fore the courts. Always of an ag-
gressive nature he has shone in
court; but his aggressiveness has al
ways been tempered by his courte-
GUS and winning ann which never
failed of its effect On both judge and
jury.
The new district attorney is a
gentleman with a well stored mind,
which is a fountain of knowledge on
almost every subject brought up for
discussion. He is argumentative,
and always has good logical reasons
for his arguments. 1t is a delight to
him TO argue. and while he always
goes in to win, yet to the man who
bests him he yields with a grace of
manner which is one of his chief
charms. and which has done so much
to make him the number of friends
in the district.
In this respect Mr.. MeFadden has
made friends among all classes, and
they all had their coats off for him
during election. But he himself was
the wheel horse in his own election
and he was campaigning all the time
from the moment of his nomination
until the polls closed on election day.
The people believe that he was the
right man for the office, and there
is no doubt that he will give them a
good, fair and just administration.

NEW CURRENCY
SYSTEM NEEDED
DIRECTOR OF MINIS, GEORGE II.
ROBERTS, POINTS OUT NEED
FOR ELASTIC ELEMENT IN OUR
MONEY SUPPLY.

In an address last week given be-
fore the Social Science Club of Phila-
delphia, George +. Roberts, director
of the United States MINIS. offered a
number of suggestions which could
well pc considered shy the legislators
who now have before them the ques-
ton of improving the financial condi-
tions of the United States. Mr.. Rob-
erts went into details in his address
and after reciting many of the weak
nesses of the present system, stated
that there could be no permanent
cure till the system was backed up by
good lawful money and plenty of 1t.
In part Mr.. Roberts said:
The most encouraging feature of
this campaign for a more scientific
currency system is the fact that it is
now generally admitted that some
thing Is seriously wrong in the pres
ent system. 1t has always seemed to
a great many people that If all our
money was good and the supply in
creasing from year to year in what
appeared to be an adequate amount,
nothing more was required. Nobody
can say that a monetary stock of $35
per capita is not on general principles
large enough, or thai an increase
from $2S to $35 in ten years net
enough. That is not the point of the
controversy. The contention is for
an elastic element in the currency.
and elasticity means contraction as
well as expansion. There must be
contraction after expansion in order
10 regain the power TO expand again.
Then, again, it has been a COM
mon view that il is the exclusive
function of the government to furn-
ish she money of a country, and that
the bank should have nothing to do
with the supply; that they should
simply receive money on deposit and
loan it or pay it out on demand.
This sounds plausible, for un-
doubleday ii is the function of the
government to Gefine what shall be
legal tender and TO supervise and
safeguard the currency supply, but
neither the government nor any other
body can determine in advance how
much money will be required from
time to time. No authority can de-
termine how much money the people
of this country will want to use or to
handle in the year 1911. Nobody can
tell within hundreds of millions of
dollars what the volume of business
will be next year, or what proportion
OF that business will be handled by
means or private instruments of ex-
change or what portion will require
cash; nor can one tell how much of
the $4,000, 90, goo of bank deposits
may be called for in ash g any time.

OFFICIAL ROSTER Of WHITE PINE COUNTY

the people of White Pine county in
public life, for several years ago, he
occupied the double Office of treas
urer and county clerk. Since then
he has been ever busy in the interest
of the people, and has eome to be
considered as ~inyulnerable, both in
conduct of public office and in the
minds and voters of the people.
The Office of assessor is most try
ing for the reason that it is the
province of that official to appraise
the value of property. In doing this
a mans first duty is to the county at
large; but al the anne time he is
assessing the property of the peo-
pie by whose votes he was placed in
office. In this trying position Mr..
Miles came through with flying
%colors, for he pleased both the coun-
ty in general and the individual
property owners.
That this is true could not have
been attested to in a greater measure
than by the treatment accorded him
by the people in the primaries and
at the polls. Mr.. Miles was the
unanimous choice of the Democratic
party to succeed himself; and the
Republican party paid him the high
compliment of indorsing his admin
istration by the fact that no Repub-
liean candidate for the position was
named. He had some opposi-
ton on the part of the Labor candi-
date, but there was but a little fight
put up against him in the ranks of
labor. He went into Office by one of
the greatest majorities on any ticket;
and the people have cause for IN
graduation that he is to be the
assessor for two years more.

whom he has come in contact during
his tenure of Office, and his extreme
ly sociable qualities and overfiowing
good fellowship have made and kept
for him thousands of friends on the
outside.
BILLY" Mcknight, as he is best
known far and near, was born in this
county, his birthplace being Hamil-
ton, the event of his birth having oc-
CURED long after the boom in that
camp, the scene of the first and great
White Pine excitement. While Mr..
Mcknight did not share the boom,
still as he grew into manhood he
argued to himself that there would be
other booms, or at least just as good
opportunities for the rising young
man in the west.
Upon his return to Ely from school,
an opening was found for him in his
present Office, which was then con
Quoted by ID. S. Dickerson, and who
made him his deputy. Since then the
Office has grown apace, and Mr.. Me-
Knight has grown up with 1t and into
it. Its Importance has increased each
year, but the multiplication of work
has found no change in the incum-
bent, unless it be that he is even
more alert in the discharge of his du-
ties. He is seldom out of the office,
and he is always there when his SER
vices are needed.
1t would hardly be possible for a
man to have been born in a mining
camp and not be susceptible to the in
~fiuences which surround him at
birth; and SO it has been with Mr..
Mcknight. He has been active in
mining ventures and has done his
share toward the building up of the
district in this respect. He has not
made a great fortune as yet in his
mining investments, but he has sub
lime faith in the future of the county,
and believes hat he will get his in
that field as well as in the political
field which has been so rich in favors
to him. This quality in Mr.. Mcknight
is another virtue which commends it
self to the people of White Pine
county, and the miners of the district
have always been among his staunch-
est supporters when ii comes to cleo
ton time.
His first advent into Ely was in the
year 1902, and his first election to
office vas in 1906, when the boom
was raging in the district, aud when
Ely was a household name all over
the mining world. New people had
come to the district with the news of
the great work which was being done
in the mines and with the consequent
spread of the boom. With the new
corners Mr.. Mcknight made friends
as rapidly as he had done with the
oldtimerS. His Office was necessarily
a busy place, and n where many of
the newcomers transacted much of
their work. The treatment accorded
them there made them firm and last
ing friends of the Recorder and
auditor and it was not necessary to
do politics with them to secure their
SURFACES at the next election. It is
n of Billy Meningitis erowning
virtues that when he makes a friend
he keeps him, and this has been the
greatest success in his political ca
reer. No better evidence of this
could be desired than the big popu-
lar vote which swept him into office
at the last election.

existence of some fine gold, silver and

In addition to some prospect holes
the company has for its main working

proximately 800 feet. Within twenty
three feet from the portals of the

ty-seven feet and a large ore bearing

All of these demands are uncertain
and fuctuating, and they are directed
not to the government, nor to the Of
fieers of the treasury. but to the
banks. 1t is the providence of the gov
eminent to supervise the supply, but
the demand actually falls upon the
banks, and the supply must be af-
forded through the banks.
The fact is that the great bulk Of
the payments in a country like the
United States are not made in money.
Money has become the small change
of the business world. The drafts
and checks that represent the pay
ments of commerce meet in the clear
ing house and practically offset and
cancel themselves. Nine-tenths of
the so-called bank deposits are not
made in money, but are simply
credits that arise in the exchanges.
They are payable in money and on
demand, but If the banks are called
upon to liquidate an undue portion of
them at any time it simply cannot be
done. We fall into just such a dead
lock as We had in 1907.
The south, for example, at this
season of the year, by the sale of its
cotton crop, Is creating heavy credits,
or deposits in New York or other
cities. In the usual order of events
these will be drawn upon to pay for
the south's purchases outside, and
the entire exchange will be effected
by the handling of comparatively lit
tie money. If the south should at

in cash it would disturb the financial
equilibrium of the whole world.
So that when a man says he does
not believe in an elastic currency, or
that if all our money is as good as
gold, nothing more is required. or
that the banks should have nothing
to do with issuing currency, he over
looks the fact that the business of the
country is not done with gold, or
with any kind of money, but by
means of bank credit; and when this
credit receives a shock there is no
way to prevent a widespread disaster
except by supporting it or substitute
ing some higher form of credit.
I'VE have about SIG, 900, 900 900
of bank deposits in the United States
and only about $4,000, 000, 900 of
money in the country all told, in the
banks and out. The supply of money
adjusts itself to the usual and ordi-
nary methods of making settlements
through the banks and clearing
houses. And this elimination of cash
is all right; this system of clearing
is sound; it is scientific, it is economi-
cal, 1t is permanent; but it never will
be secure until ii is backed up with
machinery by which the banks on the
basis of good assets can be supplied
with lawful money to meet any de-
mands that may come upon them.
When everybody knows that such ma
chinery exists, we will be free from
panic, as they are in all other coun-
tries where such machinery exists"

HOP CROP is
$4,000 BALES
BELOW NORMAL

From $4,000 to $4,000 bales is the
estimate made by hop men here of
the hop crop for Oregon this season
That figure falls short just $4,000
bales of the crop of last season when
$4,000 bales of hops were harvested
The shortage is attributed to the
early frost in March and the heat
wave that swept over the valley in
July. The early frost and heat both
retard the growth of the hops, say
the hop men, and they fail to weigh
this year as they did last. The quail
ity, however, seems to be as good as
ever.
The market continues to hover
about 32 cents pound.

|DR. JAMES I. COOK
DIES AT MT. SOLON
For Fifty Years He Practiced
Profession In This Section

Mt. Scion, Va, Nov. 29.-Dr.
James T. Clark, for SO years a prac-
ticing physician at this place and one
of Mt. Solon's most influential citi-
zens, died at his home here ,yester-
day morning at 1915 O'Clock, after
a brief illness. He was aged 81
years, eight months and four days.
DR.. Clark practiced his profession
here with great success for half a
century. For the last few years he
did not ride and drive as formerly,
but up to the very last he had pa
tents who had come to him for
treatment.
The doctor was a kind neighbor
and indulgent father and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him. His
happiest moments were when con-
tributing to the comfort and enjoy
ment of others. He was fond of COM
pany and took great pains in enter
tanning his visitors. He was a fine
ccnversationalist and possessed I'M
usual intelligence, yet he was exceed
ingly modest and considerate of those
possessing less intelligence and Gull
ture, thereby making all feel COM
Portable when in his presence. He.was
son of the late Pleasant H. Clark,
who died many years ago at Mt.
Crawford, and was born in Waynes-
boro, Va, in 1920 and was the Oldest
member of family of nine children,
all of whom preceded him to the
grave. They were Mrs. Felix T.
Sheets, Mrs. J. J. Cupp, Mrs. James
Irwin, Messrs. Henry Clark and four
brothers, Albert, John, William and
Erasmus. He is survived by two
children. Mrs. Belle Kerr and Profes-
scr James T. Clark, by his first wife,
who was Miss Martha Blakemore, a
daughter of the late Henry Blake
more of this place; also a grand
daughter, Mrs. Irene Ensign, of
Huntington, W. Va. His second wife
was Mrs. Mary Kyle, who died a
number of years ago.
Late in life he became a member
of the M. E. Church, at this place.
After being received into church fell
lowship he took much interest in all
the requirements of membership and
the uplift of church and people, and
was a liberal contributor of his
means for the advancement of
Christianity.
DR.. Clark left a large estate.
