SEATTLE BANKER
 LIKES OUTLOOK

SEATTLE, Sept. 5.-That not only Seattle and the Northwest, but the entire country, is in sound financial condition despite the disastrous war raging in Europe was the authorita. tive statement made yesterday by Manson F. Backus, president of the National Bank of Commerce, and one of the leading fnanciers of the Pa cihc Coast.
 Mir. Backus declared that outside of San Francisco probably no city on the Coast would draw on the millions of dollars set aside by Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo for emer- gencles. and added that, even should some other sections need more funds. Seattle and the Northwest certainly would not,
 we have received the blanks of ap- plicatlon for moneys from this fund he said, but I do not believe we will ever use them. I have at hand tele- gram from F. A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York City, which is pertinent on the subject of general conditions at this time.
 .'It follows: The situation in this country is sound. There is no reason why the legitimate demands of busi- ness should not be taken care of ev- anywhere. Everyone here Gin New York) is cheerful in spite of the ter. rible situation in Europe
 Adjusted to Conditions.
 "We went through a drastic liquida- ton not long ago." Mir. Backus con tlnued, land as result have ad- justed ourselves to any needs for economy that may arise. Hence when the war came, we did not need to ad just ourselves further"
 Mr. Backus characterized the war as the greatest calamity that has befalI. en humanity in 100 years, and asserted that the world would need at least an. other 100 years to regain its former wealth and industries after the conflict has been ended.
 While America win derive certain benefits from 1t during the period of high prices of commodities, particular ly foodstuffs and various manufactur- ed products, Mir. BaclSus believes America will need to readjsut itself with the rest Of the world after the war, when European nations, impoy. erished, will no longer be able to pur- chase goods from this country at for mer prices.-Seattle Times.

DAWSON NEWSPAPER
 MAN OPTIMISTIC

There are great possibilities for the development of paying quartz mines In the Klondike section as we'll as the Stewart river country. according 10 Joseph>J. Green. the well known news paper man of the Daily Dawson News who passed through Juneau today on the Princess May enroute to vancou- yer and Portland. There is ore al ready discovered in the Sewart river country that is worth $500 per ton. There are some small rich mines in the Klondike One of these. the Loue Star on Victoria Gulch, a tributary Of famous Bonanza, is operating B. stamp mill and paying dividends, The day for quartz, Mir Green thinks, will come. but will not be hurried, until the big placers are further reduced. The dredges have had good season.
 Over 2.0OO men will remain In Dowson this winter, Mir. Green says, and many of them will spend the time prospecting old ground that has not been thoroughly prospected, and oth- CTS win so out looking for new pla- cers. There is olts of territory In Yu- kon, he thinks that has not yet been prospected. Many of these men who have been in the habit of leaving for the Outside every fall at the close of the season will remain in Dawson this year.
 Mir. Green expects to remain Out side about two month and on return will stop or in Juneau for a time.

ANTWERP A CITY
 RICH IN HISTORY

Antwerp, the city to whic hthe bei- glan royal family advance on Bruss' els. Is not only one of the oldest clt- les in Europe. but has many times played an important part in the max. ing of stirring history.
 Antwerp appears In history as early as the seventh century. A century later 1t was an important port and market town. In the twelfth century it was commercially prosperous and under the rule of the Dukes of Burgun- dy, who at times aspired not only to the throne of France, but harbored de- signs on the crown of England. In the fifteenth century Antwerp was one of the most important marts in Europe, the entering point for English and con. tinental trade. Tn the sixteenth cen tury, under the rule of Chas. V 1t was the seat of the Hanseatlc League and the money depot of Europe. In 15S4' S5 1t was besieged. taken and ruined by the Duke of Ava. In 1704 the French took the city and restored it's prosperity. Napoleon the Great at tempted to make 1t rival London.
 Antwerp, located on the schedt, hav- ing an outlet to the sea safeguarded by the British and French fleet, and being strongly fortified on the landward side. is regarded as impregnable, hence it's selection at this time by King AL bert as a place of refuge from which to direct the Belgian resistance to the German forces. The city's trnasit and other commerce of late years has run we'll over S1,OOO, O,OOO,OOO year. It has large industrial quarter and is a dia- mond center.
 The government of Antwerp is ad- ministered by burgomaster, assitsed by five assessors and municipal council of 30 members. The city's an nual budget is about $7.0O0.0O0. It's debt Is S6O,O00O,OO0 Water and gas are supplied by private corporations.
 The city has sixteen daily newspa- pers, six in French and ten in Flemish. There are many notable hospitals and educational institutions, two theatres
 nd noteworthy ecclesiastical and secu- lar buildings, among them the Cathe-' dral of Notre Dame. one of the sights of Europe ;the Hotel de Vile and the Museum of Art, where are priceelss paintings by Rubens. Winders, Van Dyck, Van Eych, Memling, Matys and others. Many old masters among painters, notably Rubens, were natives of Antwerp, long fomaus as an art cen ter.-Detroit Free Press.

IGNORES ACTION OF SENATE.
Governor GoIdsborough Guided BY At
torney General Poe.

Governor Goldsborough, following
the advice of Attorney General Edgar
Allan Poe, ignored the action of the
State Senate in making two appoint
ments to the State School Board.
These appointments were:
HARRY SHRIVER, Cumberland.
DIR. JOHN o. SPENCER, of Nor
gan College, Baltimore.
Mr. Shriver was appointed by the
Governor during the session of the
Senate to succeed Clayton Purnell.
Both are Democrats and both are resi-
dents of Allegany county. The Sem
ate refused to act on the appointment
of Mr.. Shriver. The effect Of this ac-
ton, or rather, lack of action, was to
continue Mr.. Purnell in Office.
The appointment of Dr. Spencer was
made before the Senate convened. He
was named to succeed Col w. S.
Powell. 1t was a recess appointment.
1t, therefore, went before the Senate
in the regular routine of business for
action. 1t was rejected. Despite this
action, the Attorney General advised
the Governor that he had the power
to name him. The reappointment was
accordingly made.

Middi.s Will Not Get Diplomas Early
This Year.

polis.-Upon his return from
Washington following a conference
with officials of the Navy Department,
Capt. William F. Fullam, superintend-
ent of the Naval Academy, announced
that the first class of midshipmen will
not be graduated in advance of the
regular time in June. Various mat
ters pertaining to the academy were
discussed at the conference, including
the June week commencement exer-
cises. No program has as yet been ar
ranged, but it is expected that Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels, as well as
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, will be
here for the occasion, and that Sacre-
tary Daniels will address the gradu-
ates. There is a chance that the I'M
dergraduates will go on foreign
cruise after all, although this was
practically called off several days ago.
