WHY WE AMERICANS
THINK IN MILLIONS

From Alton, in Belgium, comes this
little human interest paragraph
When told that he had won 100000
in the Charleroi Exhibition lottery, a
railroad brakeman earning $14 a
month fell dead here The $14 a
month Belgian brakeman reception
of the unexpected fortune is the an
swer some people say they would be
'likely to make to the familiar dull
season inquiry, "What would you do
if you should get a million dollarss"
However, joy is fatal only to the few.
In this country we think only in mil
lions when we do not think in bill
lions Consequently the form of the
inquiry propounded by journals when
they wish to stimulate interest in the
daily issue at time when current
events seem stale and Improbable.
But in other lands $4,000 seems to
mean more to unplutoeratic persons
than the million to the American, and
it does mean more, though even an
American does not regard with entire
disdain the smaller sum. The sudden
accession of a million "plunks might,
though it is UNLIKELY, shock an Ameri-
can brakeman to death, but hardly a
mere 100000 of them. But suppose as
recompense for his arduous and inn
portant duties he was in receipt of
only $l4 monthlys
The lesson and interest of the news
from Alton, in Belgium, it will be per
eeived, are not in the fact that a sud
len accession of wealth killed brake
man, but in the contrast--not the con-
trast between the good fortune and
the news of i either, but the ineiden-
tai revelation of the contrast between
the pay of the European and the
American workman.-Pittsburg Ga

STATE BANk CASE
REACHES SUPREME COURT

The State Bank and Trust company
case has reached the Supreme Court.
Attorney General Thatcher has filed
the brief on which he bases his appeal
from the order by Judge Langan de
nying the attorneygeneral' motion
to set aside the order allowing tn,
salary of Frank Wildes as receiver of
the bank and allowing counsel fees
Mack, Green & Heer, attorneys for
Wildes.
The date of hearing the case on APP
peal in the Supreme Court has not
been set.
Abuse of discretionary powers is al
legged by the attorney general in his
brief on appeal. The brief sets out
that ii was within the sound discretion
of the court whether the motions to
set aside the orders complained of
should be sustained and that the court
failed to exercise this discretionary
power properly.-Rsno Gazette.

loss FROM FOREST FIRES
Will Be SMALL THIS YEAR

WASHINGTON, July 17.-As the
summer progresses without heavy FIRE
losses on tine nationi forests, the for
est service is having hopes for small
fire damage during 1913. Not only
has the fire loss on national forests TO
date been gratifyingly small, but con-
ditions everywhere except in the
southwest, according to the officials of
the forest service, are more than ordi-
narily favorable. They point out,
however, that the situation may
change almost over night, and that a
comparatively short period of general
dry weather and high winds may bring
disaster The appropriations for fire
fighting are not yet large enough to
insure immunity from heavy losses.
A system of telegraphie reports
from the field keep the chief forester
at Washington informed as to eondi
tions on the 1863 forests under Federal
supervision. During the past week
general rains in the far western states,
with the exception of Arizona and
New Mexico, have reduced the present
fire danger to minimum. But in the
latter two states the weather is re-
ported very dry, with occasional elee-
trical storms that bring chances for
fires set by lightning. -Four fires are
burning on the Coconino forest in
Arizona, and during the past week
there have been fifty-eight fires all
told in the two southwestern states.
The acreage burned is reported as
5000 acres, as against only 20 acres
reported burned on national forests in
all the other western states.
Thus far t..is season there have
been 30,793 acres burned over on the
national forests, or only sixteen-thous-
andths of one per cent of the acreage
which the forests include.

Plans to bring about the appoint
ment of a non-partisan tariff commits
sion by the government were discussed
at the business meeting &C the direct
ors of the Chamber of Commerce of
the united States in session at San
Francisco
They voted for appointment of a
special committee to submit the views
of the chamber to President Wilson,
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld and
chairman Underwood of the ways and
means committee of the house.
1t was announced that the attitude
of the organization toward the cur
rency bill will be declared only after
the questions involved are submitted
by a referendum vote to the CON-
mercial bodies making up the member
ship.
The directorate instructed the exec
utive committee to take up with the
Federal government certain questions
affecting international commercial re-
lations. concerning which resolutions
were adopted at the international con-
gress of chambers of commerce held
in Boston last September.
"To aid every administration by
cordial cooperation; to draw togeth-
er, in a common bond, the business
men of America in defense of the good
names, and in the creation of an in
strumentality through which they may
speak as a whole to the executive and
congress relative to the things which
business needs; to create force com
parable in every respect to the organ
lied forces of labor and of agricul-
ture, are the objects of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States as
outlined by Harry A. Wheeler of Chi
eago. president of the organization, be-
fore the San Francisco Chamber of

bodies

MOVING PICTURES AS
REPRESSORS OF EMOTION

moving picture exposition TINS
week brings forth some startling
figures. II is said that last year
3, 900, 100000 persons paid $319,00o,-
900 to see these performances and that
the business now involves an invest
ment of over $s0,000,O0O, with the
craze raging worse than ever.
How far this growth will continue
remains to be seen, but already it is
having its effect upon the looks and
emotions of Americans. In the theater
which once rang with laughter and ap-
plause sits an audience with no ap-
parent disposition to betray any feel
ing of excitement, mirth or pathos.
The pictures flicker across the screen,
the crowds look and make no noise,
and when it is over they file out as
dolefullv as though returning from a
| funeral.
Undoubtedly the moving picture has
done good. 1t has provided cheap en-
tertainment for the masses. II has en-
abled the whole family to enjoy itself
and has diverted manv dimes and nick
els from saloons. At one time it
threatened to work mischief by its
appeals of the baser sort, but quickly
the evil was recognized and there is
now fairly effective regulation that
keeps the pictures from crossing the
| line.
But he thew good or better than
merely good, the result of substituting
photography for personality is verv
marked II is practically impossible
to create enthusiasm by pictures. Pho
tographv is often beautiful. often ar
tistie. and some of the effects wrought
by the film makers are extraordinary,
but they seldom achieve even a pas
sable imitation of the grip of the real
drama, and even though they may sue
ceed in articulating the spoken word
with the moving scene, there is always
the consciousness that it isn't just
what il pretends to be.
So the Americans going by the mil
lion to the new entertainments sit in
silence and imperceptibly acquire a
solemnity that may become national
habit. We hope not-but the ten
dency is unmistakable.-Phi
Ledger.

JUDGE N s. BONNI-
FIELD LAID TO REST

The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late Judge M. 5. Bonni-
field were held at 1890 O'Clock this
morning, on the lawn in front of the
family residence on Bridge street. A
large number of friends and neighbors
of the family were in attendance to
pay their last respects to the memory
of the departed jurist.
The service was conducted by Rev.
J. II. Henry, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, of which congrega-
tion deceased was member, and dur
ing his brief remarks the speaker paid
an eloquent tribute to the eminent
abilities and sterling qualities of his
departed friend.
Music appropriate to the occasion
was supplied by the church choir, com
posed of Mrs. A. ID. Dern, Mrs. J. II.
Henry, Mrs. Charles Nofsinger, Miss
Florence Guthrie, Miss Irma Brown,
organist; Prof f. l.. Maxwell and
Preston Oneal. During the exercises,
the choir rendered Nearer, NY God,
to Thee, "Sweet Bye and BYE. -
"Shall We Gather at the River" Mrs.
Charles Nofsinger also sang solo,
"When | Shall See Him Face to
Face
The handsome casket rested on a
eatalfaque stationed under a canopy,
at the left of the entrance to the resi-
dence, and was banked with bouquets
and wreaths of beautiful flowers. At
the conclusion of the service all who
wished were given an opportunity to
take farewell look at the features of
the departed, after which the cortege
was formed, made up almost entirely
of automobiles, and proceeded to the
cemetery.
The honorary pallbearers were W.
G. Adamson, +. g. Hoenstine, X. f. l..
,Windle. p. Laveaga, ID. Pascal, s. G.
Lamb, and the active, J. A. Rogers,
Chris Wolf, Chris Diehl, J. Sheehan,

TO MARKtT APPLE CROP
ON COOPERATIVE PLAN
Especial to the Silver State

SPOKANE, Wash. July 17.--Out of
a conference of apply growers in Spo-
kane last November has been evolved
a cooperative marketing organization
which will be launched next week on
a continent wide basis, having exclus-
i've agencies in $50 leading centers of
North America, extending from Mon
treal to Texas, and from Florida to
eastern Montana.
Through these agencies most of the
great apple crop of the states of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana will be marketed comparatively
under one central selling agency.
The organization of Pacific North
west fruit growers is considered by
bankers and business men to be the
most important economic development
of the present decade, and they are
freely asserting that this cooperative
movement will mean the salvation of
the apple industry of these states,
which last year produced 10000 car
loads.
Carload shipments will commence
next week under direction of General
Manager J. II. Robbins at the Spo-
kane headquarters of the distributors.
While apples perhaps will constitute
the bulk of the corporation ship
ments, all deeiduous fruits Of the four
states will be distributed.
In addition to $50 exclusive agents.
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
will have representatives covering
the middle western gateways at Oma-
ha and Minneapolis, as well as at Chi
cago and New York headquarters, two
in the territory of Montana and the
Dakotas and three in the provinces of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
II. f. Davidson, large grower of
Hood River, Ore, president of the dis
tributors, will go to New York August
|. and III. +. Smith, sales manager
from southern Idaho, to Chicago t.
perfect organizations at these head
quarters.
