SCENES OF 1907 PANIC

He finds that $50oo0o,000 of "panic
money" was issued in different parts
of the country during the last three
months of 1907 to take the place of
ordinary currency which was unob-
tainable. These substitutes for cash
were in many forms, from the clearing
house certificates for amounts of from
$4,000 to 100000 with which banks
settled their balances to one another,
down to pay checks for sums as small
as one dollar or less, used by employ
ers in paying off their workers. Much
of this was real wildcat" currency
with no security behind it except the
name of the issuing concern and it was
accepted for use only because nothing
better could be obtained. In Pittsburg
alone $H,000,000 of these pay checks
were issued and in most of the other
big cities amounts nearly as large were
used by big concerns in meeting their
payrolls. The inquiry also brings out
the fact that not for century has any
other nation been compelled to resort
to such makeshift substitutes for money
as were employed on this occasion.
Only once in modern times has there
been such high premium on coin in
any European country as prevailed in
the United States during the latter

FROM MEET
Continued From Page one.

all the real dry sections Of the west
and southwest-much Of 1t grown on
from eight to fourteen inches of an
nual precipitation.
From what saw there. am more
than ever convinced OF the superiority
OF our North Dakota soil and climatic
conditions. The utter uselessness of
suffering from droughts dn this state
could not be more apparent. we have
the precipitation and all that is re-
quired is to husband our moisture
instead of permitting any considerable
portion of 1t to go to waste.
In fact, / am thoroughly convinced
that 1t is a God-send that we do not
get enough rainfall to carry the fer
tility of the land away in the run
off" that accompanies heavy and con-
tinuous down pours Of rain. Some day.
and soon, we shall rejoice that North
Dakota-every section Of it's almost
ideally situated and greatly blessed
with favorable conditions for success
full farming. The trouble with us is
the tenacity with which we insist on
applying humid methods to semi :
arid conditions.
II am furthermore convinced that,
within twenty years, millions Of acres
in the arid regions win produce an
nually more food for man and forage
for livestock than an equal number of
acres will produce in the humid belt.
Marke the prophecy.
THE trouble with our people is that
they do not realize the tremendous
value of our soil--and climate. The
sensible thing for us to do is imme-
diately TO begin a propaganda for
doubling the value Of every acre of
land in the state by more than doub-
ling the yield. This can be done
without anything near like doubling
the amount OF labor applied to the
acreage under cultivation. If other
states with two-thirds our rainfall
and otherwise less favorable by cli-
matte conditions can do so WELL we
should not be satisfied with crop fail
ures wholly chargeable to our imper-
feet system Of soil tiIlage, lack of crop
rotation, presence Of weeds, and
wastefulness of moisture that does not
happen to fall during the growing
season"

DISTINGUISHED
GEOLOGIST HERE
NOTED MAN I'M SCIENTIFIC Elk
PLoRATIoN FIELD IN THIS vi
cINlTY STUDYING LAKE AcAs.
sIz FiELD-WAs GUESS or A. G.
PROFESSOR.

Frank Leverett eminent glacialist
spent two days in town last week.
coming over from Minnesota where he
had been stationed the past two sea-
sons working out that state as related
TO the history of it's occupation by
glacial Lake Agassiz and the ice.
Mr. Leverett is perhaps the best au-
thority on glacial times in the United
States. His reputation is not confined
to this country alone, but he is quoted
widely in Europe where he has spent
year investigating the conditions
there. He is also an agriculturist and
his insight into soil conditions has
resulted in his geologic maps being
able to serve as soil maps in the states
covered by his labors.
Mr.. Leverett is a very interesting
writer and his federal reports are
valuable additions to science. Among
the more noted are his several books
on the great lakes history.
Mr.. Leverett's home is in Ann Arbor,
Mich, where he lectures in the uni
versity on his special theme after the
field season is closed.
While in Fargo Mr.. Leverett stopped
on North Broadway at the home of
Professor Hard, the A. c. geologist, his
friend and former pupil who will con-
tinue work along the same lines in
North Dakota.
The Investigations thus far In Min
nesota have dug up vast amount of
data relative to this region which
promises to shed new light on the
Lake Agassiz history. The report will
prove interesting reading to residents
Of the valley.
Besides his own field work, in which
he had assistants, Mr.. Leverett is
experimenting the survey Of other
areas.

When it comes down to determining
the cause of the panic, Secretary An
drew finds that it was due primarily TO
defects in the banking and currency
system. AS soon as the FIRST alarm
spread the banks in all parts of the
country began fighting one another to
secure and hold as large supply Of
currency as possible. They could not
issue additional bank notes to meet the
situation because in order to do this
they would have had to purchase gov
eminent bonds which would have de-
pleted their funds still further. The
remedy, in his opinion, is the organi-
zation of cooperative association
through which the banks will act to-
gether in cases of emergency, instead
of fighting one another, and legal pro-
vision by which bank notes can be is
sued against other forms of security
than government bonds. This is the
system which many business men are
now advocating. A number of the
most prominent business men in the
country recently formed an organiza-
ton in Chicago under the name of the
National Citizens League for the pur-
pose of bringing about the improve
ment of the banking and currency sys-
tenn OF the country along these lines.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct 23.-Appre-
hension of a beef shortage with con-
sequent high prices is not without
foundation, according to stoekmen and
traders at stockyard centers through

those for this season In previous years.
At South St Paul the October run

Montana and the Dalxotas, shows de-
crease OF about $4,000 head. Chicago

Investigation Conducted by an Official of

Washington, Oct. II. - The fourth
anniversary OF the panic of 1907, which
began in New York on Oct. % Of that
year and quickly spread to other parts
OF the country until every state and al
most every town and village was in
volved in it, gives special point to an
elaborate investigation of that event
which has been made by Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury Andrew. The
panic broke so suddenly and there was
so much confusion while it was at its
height that some of its remarkable
features escaped attention at the time
and have been brought out for the first
time by Secretary Andrews inyestiga-

WILLISTON GETS
NEXT CONFERENCE

Grand Forks N. D., oct. 23.-Yes-
terday was a big day for the churches
OF Grand Forks, practically all the
pulpits of the city being filed with
Methodist preachers. There were
many special services and love feasts
in the Methodist churches.
Williston was chosen as the meet
ing place for next year at the session
OF the Methodist conference on
Saturday following an executive ses-
sion lasting for two hours in which the
conference claimants fund matter
was thoroughly threshed out.
When Bishop Mcintyre asked the
question. Where will the conference
go next year?' Rev. Frank S. Hollett
was on his feet and answered will
iliston." The APPLAUSE which greeted
the answer indicated that the Getty of
opportunity" was favorite with the
ministers. Rev. BENZ. Babcock pre-
sented an invitation from Velva and
in an interesting talk told Of what
Velva had and would do for the con-
ference.
Mr. Hollett then read kilograms and
letters from the mayor of Williston,
the secretary OF the commercial club
and finally presented the KEY of the
city. On vote Williston was the
choice of all but few Of the confer
ence members and the choice was
made unanimous.
ksrr Reappointed.
The executive session was called
Immediately after conference conyen-
ed in the morning and the report and
recommendations of the board of con-
troll of the conference claimants fund
was given by Judge Pollock as repre-
sentative Of the board. Rev. James
Anderson of Valley City, treasurer of
the fund gave his report. After an
interesting discussion Rev. Alex Karr
was reappointed as secretary, the
movement to stop further additions 10
the fund being squelched by an AL
most unanimous vote. Harley Grover
of Lisbon was appointed treasurer of
the fund. On Secretary Karr's sug-
gestion the motion reappointing him
will mean the termination or the work
OF collecting the fund at the next con-
ference OF the church.

part Of the panic year. That was III
France at one brief period during the
Commune.
One OF the most remarkable features
OF the panic as brought out by the re-
cent investigation was that it gave rise
to the longest holiday on record. This
was in California, where holidays were
declared continuously for more than
seven weeks, from Oct 81 to Dec. I'll,
in order to enable the banks TO decline
payment and to prevent the forcing OF
collections that would have driven
many business houses into bankruptcy.
In several other states, including Ore
gon and Nevada, similar holidays were
declared for shorter periods.
