Banking System Causes Panics.
(Andrew Carnegie il Leglie's. }

tAndrew Carnegie IA Leslie 3,
/ note that some writer has said
there are u 900 reasons why the
country needs banking reform. He
meant our ~ 900 banks. But | say
there are ninety-odd millions reasons
Imean that it concerns the fortunes,
the income, the bread and butter Of
the United States. 1t is the great hui
manitarian issue Of the day. You re-
call the panicof 1907. It was very
bad. The banks broke down, and
then business broke down We got
over it that is the wonderful thing
about this resourceful country, for
no other land could have stood such
a disaster. But there was great suf-
fering. Good business houses. went
to the wall; half million men were
thrown out Of work. Charity had
more than it could do to take care
ofSthe homeless and foodless. The
banks did not suffer 50 much, but
all the people who work did,
Now our bad banking system
brought this panic on, just as it has
brought on panics in the past, just
as it will bring them on fit is not
corrected. Bear this fact in mind,
and then consider that in Europe
they don't have panics. They con-
troll them there, 50 that they harm
no one. We can do it here. Why
not? The problem is simple enough.
If the people would only interest
themselves. they would grasp the
idea and want TO know more. Then,
when they understood how the mat
ter strikes Monochrome to the fam
lily exchequer and livelihood they
would rise upand demand that Con-
gress give them reform law at once.

A Great Moral Awakening.

Not alone in Chicago, but also IN
other places, the business men have
joined forces to drive out the vice
districts. Clean men Of affairs have
taken unto themselves the reins Of
government in Seattle, and duringthe
last nine months every questionable
character has been compelled to give
up the business or leave town. Los
Angeles cast out the vice districts
years ago, and business men willaf-
firm that this city has enjoyed since
that time phenomenal prosperity
Iowa has, through redlight iniunc-
ton law, cleaned house from cellar
to garrett. Show me d state or city
which is free from vice resorts, and

! Sand-Line Brick In 1911.


The sand-lime brick industry in
the United States seems to have
had a checkered experience, as
shown by the report on the produc-
ton Of sand-line brick in 1911,
just issued by the United States
Geological Survey The industry
was started in 1901 but did not
make much progress until 1908,
when there were Is plants reporting
products valued at $155,040. The
industry grew rapidly from that
year until 1907, when there were
81 plantsreporting 81 ,225, 769 worth
Of products. From this it has
declined, until there were but e6
operating firms reporting products
valued at 1897 1854. This was a
decrease Of 1911 .489, or 1882 per
cent, from 1907, the year Of max
imum output. Twenty six States re-
ported sand-lime brick in 1911, a
decrease of 2. Michigan was the
leading State, reporting products,
valued at $210.OO1, or 23.39 per
cent of the total. Michigan's product
decreased $50, 618, or ~. "a per cent,
from 1910. New York was second
in value of products, with $95, $50,
or 10. So per cent Of the total. This
was an increase of Sc, 78O, or 7.61
per cent, over 1910. New York and
Wisconsin were the only States that
showed an increase in the value OF
sand-lime brick, the latter increa-
ing $3S, 913, Or 1872 per cent.
The average price per thousand
for common sand-lime brick in 1911
was 5000, compared with 1886 in
1910; for front brick it was 1888
per thousand, againsts1o. 9oin 1910.
In 1911 common brick composed
81 80 per cent of the value Of all
gand-lime brick, front brick 7.85
Der cent. In 1910 these percentages
were 81 81 and 1858 respectively.

WORK OF THE COAST WOMEN.
"The coast women are busy, too,"
said Miss Powell, modestly overlooking
the enormous amount of work that she
herself covers week in and week out.
"They must keep house, besides often
doing the mans work about the place.
Often wood must be cut as well as food
cooked, if perchance either IS to be had.
Father and the big boys are out with
the tide before daylight, and many
times the breakfast of the little ones
cannot be cooked until the mother has
welded the axe, or broken the brush for

often from a distance, and used with
economy. Housekeeping, always task

The dear sweet-scented flowers,
With yellow bees a-buzzin'
Through all the peaceful hours.

For little feet a-swingin',
The sod beneath the lilac bush
With early violets springin'.
Low pinks and bouncin'- BEETLES,
An marigolds in rows.
Wee. snowy, sweet alyssum,
An dainty button rose.

Red peoples swayin' light,
And perky, gay snap dragons
In velvet coats Sedight.
The very names are music,
Like elf horns blown in dreams.
They're swayin' now before my eyes
Till each presence seems.
If God gives me no garden
In answer to my prayer,
But just keeps me awaitin'
Till get over there,
The first thing will ask for
An keep on asking, too
Will be an old-time garden

An hummin' birds an butterflies,

had a third funeral, IA wedding and made
many calls. My orders are often prac-
tically sealed. just live among the
people, and do with my might whatever
my hands find to do. 1t may be prayers
with the sick; it may be closing the eyes
of the dying: it may, as the other night
after school, making bread for the chill
dren in a family from which l helped
bury the mother last spring.
This busy and versatile woman, whose
activity consists partly in preaching, but
more of the time in practicing what she
and other Christians preach, has not only
that keen sympathy for the women of
the coast that expresses itself by pitch
ing in and helping at the household tasks,
but that other sympathy that under
stands the difficulties of their life and
the needs of their spirit. Whether the
men be farmers or tishers-and many are
both the daily routine of the women is
arduous, and where the husband, brother
or son follows the sea, is often fraught
with anxiety.
AWED BY TREACHERY OF THE SEA.
'The treachery and the awfulness of
the sea have sunk deep into the coast
women's hearts, said Miss Powell.
Tossing out there in wind and storm,
with cruel rocks all about, is Jim or
Jack. The baby wakes at midnight in
the grip of Group. Miles of darkness and
water stretch between the baby and the
doctors help-and that help may be too
late after all. What wonder that few of
the coast women, lost as they would be
away from it, really love the ocean or
take delight in it. The human interest
overshadows everything else.''
The periodic visits of the Sunbeam on
her regular beat summer ard winter are
a godsend to these isolated jewellers of
the coast. More of the coast is charted
to come within this beat than can be
visited regularly on account Of the still
inadequate equipment and the lack OF

Agitation for Good Roads

There is a move on for better
roads leading into Friday Harbor
and especially along the rural ma
route. VIM. Handles is especially
interested in this latter because ne
IS compelled to travel it every day.
He says if every resident on the
route were to volunteer their SER
vices they could in three or four
davs have road to be proud OF and
which would economic in time and
expense on every trip made. The
distance is % miles. There are
about 60 teams and forty men with
out teams along the route. The cal
culation has been made that with the
teams working two days and the
men three or four, bad road could
be made into a good one. The ex-
ample of county in Iowa may be
helpful: The farmers wanted a
road across the county graded and
piked, The commissioners couldn't
afford to do it. Volunteers were
called for, a meeting neld, and day
set for work. When the time came
it was found that there was a man
and team for every sixteen feet OF
the way. and one of the finest roads
in the state was made, clear across
the county in just four hours.
In speaking of the team work here
Mr.. Handles said that there is no
part of the whole distance where
gravel would have. to be hauled
more than three-quarters of a mile.

Rev. f. M. Calvin of Anacortes,
who conducted three funeral SER
vices on that day. The first was
that of Milton Doan, a former resi-
dent who was accidentally killed in
a logging camp near Sedro-W oolley.
After that came the funeral Of
Frank Hall who comitted suicide at
Mt. Vernon last week by cutting his
throat with a razor. The other fu-
neral was that of Mrs. Frank Ora
ham. who was burned to death last
Wednesday.
