There Is No Hitch in the
Transfer of $l70,-
100000
$40, 100000 TO BE
TRANSFERRED
Only a Little Commercial
Paper Was Redis-
counted

Washington. Nov. l9-How $l70,000,-
600 in gold and lawful money was shift
ed without hitch from the banks which
Iare members of the federal reserve sys-
TEN to their reserve banks is told in re
ports to the federal reserve board OF
this total, about $l37 100000 was in gold
or gold certificates and the rest in other
forms OF money. According to the cstl-
mates, between $70,o00,000 and SS0,0o0,-
600 is yet to be transferred from the
member banks to the reserve banks to
meet the present reserve requirements.
| The reserve board recently requested
| that the banks use money in this opera
ton and. so far as the first days re-
ports show, no attempt was made to
resort to that provision of the currenc
act which allows banks to make part OF
this transfer in commercial paper. The
first day of the IL reserve banks APP
parently was devoted largely to count
ing this money and to the usual cere-
monies accompanying the launching OF
a new organization. Only few million
dollars worth OF commercial paper was
rediscounted.
Officials who are watching the opera
tion of the banks say there is every rea-
son to expect large amounts OF redis
counts in the near future. At present
there is close to S300,O00,000 of emer-
gcncy currency and possibly Sl00,000,000
clearing house loan certificates outstand-
ing or in the hands OF banks. The emer-
gency currency is subject to a tax by
the government of 3 per cent for the
first three months aifd an increase after
that period until it reaches 9 per cent.
Clearing house certificates also are put
out at high interest rates. Both the
emergency currency and the certificates
ar secured by paper, which officials be-
Iicve in most instances would be subject
to rediseount by the federal reserve
banks.
Although the demand several months
ago from banks for circulating notes
caused the issuance of emergency cur
rency. il is pointed out that there now
is more currency in circulation than is
needed and it is probable that treas
ury officials will use their influence TO |
avoid further issues. There have been |
few applications on the last week and |
many indications that the demand is
about over.
Under the new law. the banks can OBJ |
tain federal reserve notes by rediseount
ing with reserve banks the same sort |
If commercial paper that they put up
'or emergency currency. So far, the
-eserve board has put no tax on federal
'eserve notes. If high tax is imposed
alter, such a step probably will be only
temporary and designed to prevent a
urther increase in the circulating me.
lium until most OF the emergency cur
ency has been retired.
About S20,0O0000 of federal reserve
totes have been printed and are in the
lands OF the federal reserve agents of
he different reserve hanks. Their sub
titution for emergency currency is ex-
ected to be gradual.
The board has begun the collection Of
hc data which is designed to give the
eserye bank a central credit bureau,
nth valuable information concerning
orrowers whose paper is being redis-
ounted by reserve banks.

HURRY-UP ORDER
ON PANAMA CANAL
Col. Goethals Is Determined That Last
of Finishing Touches Shall Be
Completed Ahead of Time

Panama, Nov. ia hurry-up order
has been issued by Governor Goethals
for the completion of the canal. The
time limit set by Congress is July, 1916,
and Col. Goethals is determined that
the last of the finishing touches in
every department from dredging to
landscape gardening shall be completed
ahead rather than behind time. Col.
Goethals himself is setting pace, and
may be seen often at work in the adj
ministration building at Balboa late at
night.
Men and machines now on the isthmus
are said to be working harder than at
any time since the great work was
started ten years ago.
Every morning Col. Cocktails appears
at some part OF the work where he has
not been for several days previously,
to hurry things along. There is the case
of the steam shoyels delving into the
side OF Sosa bill for the rock that goes
TO form the east breakwater in front of
Colon harbor. On each one is huge
placard which shows the numbers of
cars loaded as the work progresses. For
passed if possible. On Sosa hill the
man who has charge of loading the cars
that take the rock so miles across the
sthmus to the new hreakwater is work
ING against the man in charge of trans
those same cars those 50 miles
while the man who unloads them out
near the end of the 2-mile trestle is
-ushing things so that he will always
De just a little ahead of the other two.
Al present there are 200 to $50 cars of
'oek sent him every working day.

CHAIRMAN GIBSON.

J. H Gipson, chairman OF the Pro-
gressive party of Idaho. was in Sho-
shone on Tuesday in conference with
leading members Of his party here
The Journal acknowledges a pleasant
call from him. He thinks the Pro
gresive party very much alive, es-
peeially in Minidoka county and Lin
coin. In the former county Mr.. Clip
son has been doing effective work
as the organizer of his party forces.
He said there was a situation
somewhat different here in the fact
that. he has been informed, both the
Republicans and Progressives were
compelled to act in accord in local af-
fairs to secure good local government
while the Progressives would not by
any manner of means give up their or
ganization. Mr.. Gipson had been told
that an influential section of the local
Democratic party had compelled this
alliance on local issues.

THIS is STILL WORSE.
fuailev News-Miner.)

(Hailey News Miner)
Parties who came up from the Mag
ic dam a few days ago state that one
of the game wardens received a three
pound trout from a fisherman there
that had been dynamited.
The attention of the angler was at
tracted by a sore in the fish's belly,
and he gave it to the game warden.
Upon opening the trout stone the
size of a large playing marble was
found inside, showing that it had been
driven in there by an explosion or
other great force.
The fact leads to the belief that
nowder is being used. There seems to
be no way to protect the fish other
than to close the Magic dam and VI
cinity to anglers.
1t appears that some people are not
satisfied with fishing through the ice,
catching over the limit, and otner-
wise violating the game laws, but they
resort to the use of dynamite

DEATH CAME FROM
FALL INTO CANYON
LORENZO BIXBY, POPULAR RAIL
ROADER, LOST LIFE WHILE
FISHING AT KETCHUM.

Lorenzo Bixby, freight brakeman on
the Ketchum branch of the short
Line, lost his life at Ketchum on Fri
day last while fishing. His lifeless
body WAS found in shallow water, but
it is supposed that he had been kill
ed in fall into the deep canyon and
not drowned at all His head and
neck bore marks as il caused by
fall upon the rocks The body had
floated some distance down stream
when found
Mr.. Bixby had gone fishing with
another Of the train crew late in the
afternoon. His companion returned
at supper time. At eight o'clock it
was determined by his companions
to look for him, when they discovered
the body as stated.
They saw by footprints on the bank
where he had been fishing also saw
his line caught in a cottonwood, a
rotten branch of the tree laying on
the ground and recently broken. There
was also a depression on the bank
such as a falling body would make
and a hat in the water caught on
some brushes. The water at this
place was about four feet deep and
the current was quite swift. Follow
ing down the river for about 106
yards The body was found. It was in
about foot of water, was icy cold
and the man had seemingly been dead
couple of hours.
The indications were that BiXby's
line caught in the tree, that he had
climbed up to loosen it, that a limb
broke, that he fell head first, then
probably rolled into the river.
The body was brought to Shoshone
Saturday afternoon. Here the dead
man had his home, with his wife and
three children, making a fine family.
He was a good citizen. Before locat-
ing here in January ne had a run out
of Glenn's Ferry and before that was
on the Nampa- Boise run. The body
was taken to BlaclSfoot for burial in
charge of the association of trainmen
to which he belonged.

DEATH CALLS ANDY OLESoN,
A SHOSHONE OLD-TIMER.

Andy Oleson, an old-timer around
Shoshone, where everybody was his
friend died Sunday morning from the
natural intirmities of old age. For
nearly a quarter of a century the old
man was a faithful school janitor in
this town, and also for many years
looked after the cleaning of town
churches. Gentleness and kindness
marked everything he did.
He was native of Norway. In his
youth, with a ship load of other Nor
wegians he was shanghied and taken
to the Sandwich Islands, where he was
compelled to labor on a plantation for
many years as a slave. He was near
middle-age when he finally escaped,
being about fifty when he arrived in
Shoshone in 1885. The school board
furnished him a little cabin home and
the old man lived comfortably on
small salary. In late years he had
charge of the rth-side school.
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon from the Methodist
church, C. f. Borden, w. G. Custer,
Robert ]. and Alvin l. Mcmahon, A. A.
Walters, Harry w. Anderson being
the pail bearers. Rev. H. E. Mcleod
conducted the services and o. ]. Bren-
nan prepared the body for burial
Out of the savings of a long life OF
toll the old man left enough to meet
the expenses of his burial but if he
had been less fortunate there are
those of his friends here who would
have seen his body reverently laid
away for final repose in the grave.
May mis- honest soul rest in peace.

FEDERAL HELP FOR
IDAHO HOG CHOLERA.

WASHINGTON, March.-Under
special appropriation made BY Con-
gress, the Department of Agriculture
is preparing to ship to Idaho large
quantities Of hog cholera serum, for
distribution among the farmers whose
swine are infected. The appropria-
tion was secured largely through the
efforts OF Senator Brady. a member
Of the Committee on Agriculture, and
the Senator has been promised by the
Secretary Of Agriculture that Idaho
viii get a large share of the benefit
from the $4,000 appropriated now
available. The Senator is urging the
Secretary to send several experts
from the Bureau of Animal Industry
to Idaho to demonstrate to the farm
ers proper methods of using hog
cholera. He has furnished the de-
partment a list Of counties in which
the disease is prevalent and the De-
rartment will act along lines suS-
gested by Senator Brady.
The Senate recently passed a bill
which allows settlers on Government
irrigation projects 20 years instead of
10 to pay for water AS the bill was
reported to the senate it required
payment of 5 per cent of the water
charge at the time of fling entry or
making water right application. On
the motion of Senator Borah this pro-
vision was amended so as to reduce
the initial payment to 2 per cent. AS
the bill now stands, lands under Gov
ernment projects may be entered
whenever water is available and the
initial pament of two per centyshtH
initial payment of 2 per cent will be
made when the charge per acre is es-
tabnshed.
