Grain Buyers Active

Pullman is well supplied with grain
buyers. In addition to having all the
old line houses represented here
there are a mum Der of independent
buyers, among these being O. A.
Price, representing the Ford Grair
Company, of Spokane; Ira Nye. rep
rescenting the Farmers Union Term
inal Warehouse Company; l.. r. Nil
Ter, representing the Sanford-C Camp
bell Henley Company; William
Chambers, who buys for himself and
sells where he can get the best price
and T. w Amos. representing NJ.
H. Houser.
All of these are active and are buy
ing large quantities of grain both at
Pullman and at neighboring points.
Every day these buyers are out in
the country or visiting warehouses
at side tracks near Pullman. The
farmers are showing a tendency to
sell their grain early as they have lost
money by holding too long in the two
past seasons. 1t is believed by con-
sentative men that the crop of grain
near Pullman this year will bring to
the producers more money than any
crop ever grown in the history of the
county.

OF the cattle were bought from Ry-
an Bros. and Jerry Hogan
Dealers say if these prices prevail
Tor livestock the prices of beef W.
be advanced. Hogs are higher than
formerly, good hogs bringing 1-2
cents per pound. The export market
will not justify these prices and a
drop is expected when farmers get
their hogs fattened and ready for the
market, but at this time of year fat
hogs are scarce and farmers have no
time to take them to town for sale.
consequently the demand is in excess
of the supply.

to be given in celebration Of the dis
covery Of the south pole on Decem-
Der %. 1911, by the Captain Scott ex-

diction deliberately. He said in an
interview, discussing tonight's cele-

discovery Of the south pole. I may
be few days out Of the way, but 1t

AMERICAN BANKS NEEDED.
Demanded by American Interests In
South America.

South America.
The crying need of American in
terests in South America is the es-
tablishment of American banks, ac-
cording to Prof. Paul S. Reinsch, of
the University of Wisconsin, whe re-
Gently returned from the Pan-Ameri-
can conference at Buenos Ayres, Ar
gentine.
I'VE have the business" said Prof.
Deinsch, land now We need banks to
business in South America. The
banking methods prevailing in South
American cities are extremely slow
and antiquated. They would quickly
be forced aside should an American
bank enter into competition with
them.
"At present, the only method Of ex-
change is through London or other
European financial centers, a most
roundabout and inconvenient system
for American shippers. The banking
business in South America is practi-
cally entirely in the hands of foreign
ers. In Buenos Ayres. for example
outside of the National Bank of Ar
gentine, all the other banks are own
ed by Europeans. There are severa
British banks, an Italian bank, Ger.
man banks, French banks. and so on
Prof. Reinsch's views are shared
by Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh, who in his annual report sub
mitted to congress, urges Legislation
which will permit national banks II

es in foreign lands. This attitude Il
endorsed by officials of the state de-
partment.

Though Jeffries-Johnson Films Have

May Not be Shown-City Officers

Will the Jeffries-J Johnson fight pic
lures be allowed to be exhibited in
this city? Undoubtedly they will. for
Manager Matlock Of the Pastime the
ater has secured the films for Satur-
day and Monday and there is no dis
position on the part of the city au-
thorities to prohibit the attraction
However, there is a movement being
started which has for its purpose the
prevention of the exhibition and 1t re-
mains to be seen how effective the
effort will be.
No sooner had 1t been announced
that the pictures of the famous Reno
ring battle would be shown in this
city than local fans began to manifest
certain signs of interest and enthusi-
asm, while at the same time certain
women began to bestir themselves to
prevent these fans or anybody else in
the city from gratifying their lust for
blood in any such manner. While
as yet no definite plan has been de-
cided upon by the ladies, Mrs. G.. w
Rugg. president of the local w. c. T

edict against the exhibition Of the pic.

was being scheduled, 1 would immedl'
ately take measures to prevent it,
he said, but 1 see no reason to feal
a shadow In my opinion the Jeffries
Johnson pictures are no more demon
alizing than many others that are
shown, and the fact that they hav'
been barred from many cities is M
argument to be applied here. 1t i
not for moral reasons that they ar
prohibited but because of the rae
