START NEW CURRENCY SYSTEM
Treasury Department Completes Plans
to Start Business This Week.

Treasury Department Completes Plans
to Start Business This Week.
The treasury department has now
completed its plans whereby the new
system of regional banks will be put
into operation all over the country
in few days. The Transforming of
our currency system has been the
most stupendous undertaking of our
government since the Civil War. The
old currency system under which we
were doing business, and are still do
ing business, has been a serious dan
ger to the entire world. Nothing but
the unlimited natural riches and
wealth and foreign capital has enabled
us to escape a financial breakdown
before this. The new system will
provide the element of elasticity to
the currency so that when business
begins to boom as it is bound to do in
few weeks the currency will auto
matically expand in accordance with
the requirements of the booming bust
ness.
The panics of 1893 and 1907
we're both brought on by the exhaus-
ton of capital, that is, the volume of
capital failed to expand with the ex-
pansion of expanding business. Both
of those panics were financial panics
and they came as quickly and as sud
denly as thunder-clap out of clear
sky. Under our old system any era
of prosperity would be obliged to cul
inmate in a panic in a few years on
account of the crudeness and inelas
ITCHY of our system that can be de
vised as we have borrowed the best
features from the financial systems Of
England, France and Germany, which
are the three best systems in the
world today.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

There is a continued easy tendency
in the prices of meats, while canned
and dried fruits are generally rather
easy in price. There are further adj
justments in the cotton goods situa-
ton, but with no marked declines
consequent upon the decentralization
in the market for the raw materials.
Some improvement is noted in this
connection, incident to the enlarged
acquisitions from European sources
for the manufactured product, and
with the freer operations of the mills,
it is believed that relief for the situa-
ton will soon be afforded. The most
pronounced strength is still evinced
in the market for breadstuffs. There
has been a further advance in the
price of wheat, already at top mark
for the season, under a sustained for
eign demand.
Sugar-The weakness that has been
characteristic of the sugar market for
several weeks past has undergone a
slight change during the past week
owing to the increased call from
abroad, and while there has been some
slight advance at primary markets,
the local quotations remain the same
as last week. To what extent this re-
action will be effective is problemat-
ical, although the basic position OF
sugar is undoubtedly a strong one, SO
far as the distant aspect of the mar
ket is concerned.
Provisions.
Butter-The butter market in Local
jobbing circles firmed up a trifie this
week and quotations are about 2C
higher all along the line, the range
being from 35c to 300.
Eggs-The egg business is confined
almost exclusively to eastern fresl
and local storage. the local fresh be
ing few and far between. Eastern
fresh are quoted this week at $10@1-
and local storage $4,000.
Poultry-Arrivals are still of large
proportions, but there has been M
| further changes in the quotations
since last report. With the near ap
proach of Thanksgiving turkeys arr
beginning to occupy the center of thu
market.
Dressed Meats-The undertone o
the market holds rather easy at pres
emit, although a slight uplift is note'
in pork and mutton. Other meats ar
quiet and unchanged.
Lard and Cured Meats-A declin
of one cent is noted in both local AM

While the local market experienced
an advance of zoe to Csc per barre
this week, it is asserted that millers
are making these prices as low as
they can consistently make them, the

ARCHILOS DOSTIE
PAYS FINE AND
COSTS TUESDAY
For Assault and Battery Nov,
IL, on Mrs. Louise
Loupien

The municipal court was the scent
Tuesday morning for the second time
this week of an assault and battery
case, and as is usual when such cases
come up before that tribunal the
courtroom was well filled by large
and appreciative audience. The re-
spondent in the case was Archilos
Dostie, who had been arrested on a
charge of assault and battery on the
person of Louise Lupien, who alleged
that the assault took place last Thurs
day night. Archilos conducted his own
case and entered plea of not guilty.
5, In her story to the court Mrs. Lou
pien claimed that Archilos threw her
out of the door of his house on the
night in question and into swill
cart, hurting her left elbow and bruis-
ing her hip, and she had her husband
present to attest to the truth of her
statement regarding the injury to her
hip. She claimed that she went to the
Dostie house on the night in question
because her husband was intoxicated
and not knowing where he was she
went to the Dostie house to see if he
was there. Her mission was also, she
claimed, to forbid Dostie selling liquor
to her husband. She claimed that
Dostie was in the habit of selling liq-
uor to her husband, and that she also
had bought liquor of Dostie, her last
purchase having been two half pints.
Her little boy aged about 10 years,
testified that he went with his mother
when she bought the liquor.
Dostie claimed in his testimony
that Mrs. Lupien came to his house on
Mt Vernon avenue between IL and IL
o'clock on the night. in question and
got him out of bedy that she wanted
to go up stairs and have trouble with
the people there and also wanted to
have trouble with him; that he was
afraid of her and So put her out of
doors. He also claimed that the
woman broke out a light of glass in
one of the windows of his house.
The court after. hearing the evil
dence in the case. declared Dostie
guilty and imposed a sentence of SIS
and costs or 80 days in Jail, and the
respondent paid.
