First come, first served cheerfully as
serted Burmah, striving hard to keep his
qualification masked, and looking expect
antly at Pick, who could not stand the
pressure, and announced that he too would
like to have at least two lots.
But Kirby refused to declare himself, and
sat quietly. Burmah's eyes cleaned little
savagely; but he made no comment on Kir-
by's hesitancy.
"Very well,7 he said, stepping to the wall
and unrolling the set of plats that he had
brought back from Hubbard's work tent.
4Now, if you want my advice, III say that
this part here indicating with a fat fore
finger, will probably be the main business
street. Indeed, III tell you in confidence
that it is Colonel Hatch's plan to induce mer

land, down there, can be sold for warehouses,
factories piers, shipyards, and all of that.

With the exception of Kirby they all in

pasted little red tags, reading Sold" on

back as if skeptical; but Burnah Jones did
not even look at him. Far be it from Bur

following the morning after their return to
Seattle. ats the biggest opportunity that

there's ten to one bet that it's goin' to be

hold
He paused impressively, and the four
young men, who were longing around III at
tentive attitudes, nodded briskly to show
that they were ready to do the taking hold
as soon as a place for a grip might be ex-
posed.
"Listen!" Burmah went on in confiden-

Samuel's lean face resolved into an amia-

Advertise the line or count me out And
you say, Take the count Isn't that about
the size of it?'
Somewhat picturesquely and forcibly ex
pressed, fear that you have correctly esti-
mated the situation"
"But why" insisted Solder, "are you SO
set in your ways? There's no telling how
much you might increase your business if
you advertised the Tuyler brand. It's poor
policy to tell man that you can't get along
without his merchandise; but I'm frank
enough to say that there's not a concern in
the country that puts out such good clothing.
The only trouble is that not enough people
know about it. Your competitors are build
ing up regulations with the younger genera
tion, and selling right and left to people who
ought to be wearing Tuyler clothes.
"Mr. SOLDER said Beekman Tuyler, "the
demand for clothing of our type IS neces-
sarily limited

retailer.
a am sorry replied Tuyler, @that our
opinions do not coincide. Although we may
be wrong in estimating our market, still we
can't bring ourselves to believe that adver-
tising will benefit US. We design our own
fabrics, and necessarily this restricts our out
put, since it is impossible to duplicate goods
after reasonable lapse of time. That is
one argument in support OF my contention.
Furthermore our standard of workmanship
is very high. Many of our tailors have been
employed by the firm from the days of their
apprenticeship. Some, indeed, are the sons
of journeymen, whose fathers in turn were
in the employ of our house in previous gen.
erations. Suddenly to increase our working
force would necessitate the employment of
large numbers of inferior workers. | speak
advisedly, as experience has demonstrated
that few establishments outside of the finer

Solder, "there are various ways to skin cat.

American advertising agent who
; acts as a medium between pa
pers published by members of
! the race and the large advertis-
!. ing agencies.
II these agencies could be made
:. to see the value of advertising in
! papers published by the ycolored
1 race they would no doubt place
! large advertising contracts with
our agents to be distributed
J among race papers.
The above Is the general meth
; cd adopted by Hunter c. Haynes,
whose work In securing adver-
} tisements for race papers has
/ given him u clearer insight into
! the. rather difficult problem of
placing matter from the big ad-
: vertising agencies with our pub
1 fishers.
Mr.. Haynes would like to get
In touch with every editor and

! to secure good paying advertise
I ments for his publications. The

| LOCAL BANKER RS
DENOUNCE BILL
Declare Currency Measure
Entails Many Unneces-
Sary HardshipS

That San Francisco bankers are
more or less opposed to some of the
features of the pending currency
measure Is common knowledge in
banking and financial circles. but up
to the present time none Of them has
come out in such open denunciation Of
the proposed law as have the officers
of the American National bank of this
city in statement issued today in the
form of financial letter. This state
ment, which is believed to voice the
prevailing sentiment among local
bankers, says:
while the bill embodies many
principles of banking and currency
reform that the bankers have advo-
Gated for years, there is an almost
unanimous feeling that 1T entails un-
wise and unnecessary hardships upon
the existing national banks, and its
drastic provisions should be modified.
Particular objection is made to the
compulsory measure, which requires
national banks to furnish all the capi-
tai and most of the deposits for the
federal reserve institutions - under
pain of forfeiting their charters
while having almost no voice in their
management
There is no more logic or justice
in compelling the banks to furnish
capital for government banking in
StitutfOn than there would be in COM
pelling the newspaper to furnish cap
ital for government newspaper or
ganized to compete with other news
papers. or in compelling the railroads
to furnish capital and traffic for
government railroad. Suggestions to
amend the act so as to eliminate
these unwelcome provisions are heard
by congress with respectful toler-
ance, but no change OF attitude. Yet
the bankers have not asked for con-
troll of the reserve banks, but only
minority representation on the board; /;
and that subscriptions to the reserve
bank stock be permissive. not COM
pulsory.
Unless the business public assents
to the new principle OF government
Get forth by the advocates OF the bill,
1t is time business men should be
heard in protest. If private capital
in the form of bank shares can be
commandeered for governmental pur-
poses, against the consent of the
owner, why may not private capital in
anv other form be treated In like
manner? 1t is doubtful II the social
istic tendencies of the times have pro-
gressed so for as to make this pros
rect attractive to the majority of cit

ing. For the present best judges OF
market conditions. while advocating
purchases on declines for moderate
profits, believe that the future course
of prices in the markets of the world
will be governed by the outcome of
the Argentine. Australian and Indian
crops.
Argentina is within month of the
beginning of harvest in the northern
sections, and prospects are favorable,
although the acreage is smaller than
last year. There is no certainty
about an Argentine crop, however,
until it is thrashed and shipped. as
there have been many years in which
prospects UP to harvest have been
most favorable but rains at and after
harvest have caused serious losses.
Corn is looked upon as more likely
to be influenced by weather conditions
from now on than by any other fac
tor. Weak holders have liquidated

short interest, some of which Is for
the strongest spectators. Farmers
