Blaze at Moscow

Moscow, July THE residence
of w. M. Fields burned at midnight
and the building and contents are a
total loss. The cause of the fire is
not known.
Mr.. Field, who has ben in poor
health for months, went to Lewiston
a week ago, on the advice of his
doctor, hoping to be benefited by
the lower altitude. Mrs. Fields
accompanied him. There was no
one at home except their son, Harry,
a jeweler who is employed at Wal
lace's jewelry store. He was awak-
ened about eleven o'clock by the
smell of smoke and the cracking of
flames. He discovered the lower
part of the building all on fire and
filled with a dense smoke. He
gathered an armful of clothing from
the hooks in his room and rushed
down the stairs, escaping from the
building in half suffocated condi-
ton, and gave the alarm. The heat
from the burning building was in
tense and it was with difficulty that
the adjacent buildings were saved.
Mr.. Fields carried $500 insurance
on the building with Thompson
Bros. agency. in the Agricultural
Insurance Co. of Watertown, N. Y.
and $1,000 on his household goods,
with the Cornwall agency, in Penn
sylvania.

FORT LAPWA| IS
SWEPT BY FIRE

Lapwai, July 8.-(Special to the
Gazette. )-Lapwai suffered a fire
loss estimated at about $13, 500 this
afternoon, three business houses,
one lodging house and one home
being wiped out entirely, together
with their contents.
The blaze was discovered shortly
after l O'Clock in the apartments of
Charles Hofsetter over his bakery,
and with the resistance of only a
bucket brigade manned by the citi-
zens of the village, it ragged until it
burned itself out at about $3.50
O'Clock. The fire was caused by
the explosion of a gasoline stove.
The Hofsetter family lived on the
second floor of the building con-
taining their bakery, and the flames
spread so rapidly that it was found
impossible to remove any of the
furnishings, their loss being total.
Next to the bakery was the barber
shop operated by Charles Eller,
who managed to save a part of his
equipment. The home of J. B.
Watson, prominent merchant here.
fell prey to the flames and in little
time was razed to the ground and
all contents destroyed. The lodg-
ing house conducted by w. D.
Rowland. two-story affair, caught
and burned like so much tinder
The fine cement block building,
owned by John Rice and occupied
by the Wallace drug store and
Smiths restaurant, next caught and
crumpled to the ground with the ex-
ception of a partly standing wall.
During the burning of the Hof-
setter home, Mrs. Hofstetter pos
sessed the idea that her daughter
had been caught with the burning
building and the excitement of the
moment and the terrific heat caused
her to become unconscious. The
little girl at the time was playing in
neighboring yard, when brought
before her mother, who was frantic
with grief, the latter failed to recog-
nize her. Mrs. Hofstetter was TAX
en- to Lewiston for treatment.
The following are the losses as
reported this evening:
Charles Hofstetter, residence fur
nishings. bakery and building, $500;

THE year ir.:t closed" said Mr..
Ralch. has been very satisfactory in
business way and money has been
comparatively easy.
With the big crops we have had
during the season just past the outlook
is favorable altho a great many of the
farmers are holding on to their grain
because of the lower prices.
TT Us hard to predict what the COM
ing year will bring forth thruout the
country. because conditions are subjec:
to immediate change. but from any
thing that l am able to observe at the
present time there is no cause for any
alarm in a financial way st home.
The war between Turkey and the
Balkan states is having it's influence or
the money market but just how far this
influence may extend, should the war
continue any great length Of time, is
not easy to forecast.
This war has caused more or less
OF furry already in the big European
money centers. where are held many
SECURITIES from this county. The de-
mand for money at home, or to tide
over their own interests, has caused
these European bankers to dump their
United States and other securities upon
New York.
Whatever absorbs the surplus funds
OF New York banks. brokers, insurance
companies, etc., is Immediately felt In
Chicago and thruout the west in cur
failing supply and raising notes OF
long time money for farm mortgages,
bond issues, etc. Another reason for
the heavy shrinkage Of deposits and
the raDid tightening OF the money mar
ket, is the large withdrawal Of funds

there Is doubt about the concentration
Of wealth in New York City among
well informed bankers thruou, the
country.
George F. Kirby, president Of the
Fidelity Savings Bank, points to the
fallacy Of this belief in facts and fig
ures complied by A. Piatt Andrews Of
Gloucester Mass. in a pamphlet on
the Money Trust" issued recently.
The figures, as prepared by Mr.. An
drew. are of interest, and compare con-
ditions in America with those in the
European countries, to the advantage
Of this country.

trust" exists. They are WORTH of close
consideration and furnish food for
thought.
The total number OF banks in the
United States is 25,116
In 1900 there was, as reported, a
separate bank to every 1857 Of popula-
ton.
In 1912 there was a separate bank to
every 3,7SS of population.
In 1900 New York City's proportion
of the countrys banking resources was
23.2 per cent.
In 1912 this proportion had fallen to
1879 per cent
In 1908 ten London banks held &c per
cent of England's total commercial de-
posts.
In 1903 four Paris banks held So per
cent of Frances total deposits as re-
ported.

four members, while the London clear
Berlin only 10. The clearing house con-
troll in London, Berlin, and Paris Is in
the hands Of few, while in New York
more than three times as many insti-
tutions are represented in the clearing
house than in any of the three Euro
pean centers.
In cold figures the money deposited
in New York banking houses seems
stupendous and when one does not
calculate the percentage this amount
is of the entire money on deposit in
the country's banks. it would appear
that New York had indeed concentrated
practically all the wealth OF America.
Compared with the banking deposits
outside of New York City. however. the
New York deposits are small, so small
in fact, as to be almost negligible.
Apparently, then, the danger from the
so-called money trust lies not in the
concentration Of money" In New York
City. The greater danger, and the
danger to be most feared of any of the
numerous dangers besetting our COM
mercial life is the control of wealth by
q few The system Of interdirectnr-
ships in great banking houses, trust
companies. transportation lines. and
other large financial enterprises. brings
these big enterprises under the control
of very few men and therein lies the
danger to commercial America.

The members Of the Berlin clearing

The members Of the New York City

There is one unfair feature about the
figures. The London and Paris finan-
cial institutions referred to have many
branch banks, making great total
number Of banks. However. they are
simply branches Of the parent institu-
ton. and can not be classed as inde-
pendent banks such as exist in the
United States.
There is not so much fear Of the con.
centration Of wealth in New York City.
believes Mr.. Kirby. as there is Of the
disposition Of certain great financiers
to reach out and identify themselves
with numerous enterprises both In the
New York field and in every section
of the country.
The figures do not show q concentra-
ton Of wealth in the big money center
OF the country, as Is the general belief.
but on the contrary would prove that
| New York actually has but small
percentage Of the wealth Of the coun-
try. 1t is not concentration, but con-
troll, that is to be feared in Mr.. Kirby's
opinion.
| Concentration Of wealth in leading
European cities is far greater than in
New York; in fact, II the figures are
, to be believed. the money Of England.
France and Germany is largely con-
centrated at London, Paris and Berlin.
while in America the banks of New
York hold a very small proportion OF
the deposits Of the country.

hiding places and have resulted in
panicky condition.
The enormous crops OF the past year
have aided materially in supporting
the feeling Of confidence, and the only
complaint heard from the farms is the
prevailing low prices for grain.
Continued Prosperity, Says Howe.
In reviewing conditions II. j. Hove.
vice president OF the Fidelity Savings
Bank, said:
General banking and financial con-
ditions the past year have been good,
and the prospects are bright for con-
tinuance Of prosperity. I can see no
reason at this time To anticipate any
change in conditions unless il be for
the better Money mas not been tight.
OF course, there was a furry in New
York, and call money went 10 20 per
cent. but that panicky feeling was not
reflected in business here and was
scarcely felt in western banking cir
cles.
There is no greater demand FOR
money now than there usually is at
this season OF the year. I don't believe
the presidential campaign, or the re-
suit Of the election, had any material
effect on the money market. We have
not felt any change as result.
Conditions are such as would MAJ
urallv bring about feeling of financial
distress to some extent. owing TO the
change in administration. the Balkan
war and the prospects Of a general
European war, but the American peo-
pie have passed that time when they
will become alarmed at every cry Of
