who have been in all corners of the
globe are here and many are the tales
of sudden and lost wealth which are
to be heard. Some of the stories
would cause a Munchasen to gasp
with envy.
George Watkin Evans of Seattle
representing the federal bureau Of
mines, is now in the Olympia Tenino
field making an investigation for the
United States government.
The latest Tacoma company in the
field is the Fidelity Oil company.
This company has one of the smallest
capitalizations Of any company in the
field. being incorporated for $780,
900.
1t Is rumored that a number of
Tacoma property owners holding
tracts on the South Tacoma prairie
will endeavor to prove the extent of
the Tenine field by driving wells on
the prairie near American Lake and
close to Hillhurst.

That Much Censured War Tax.

Davenport Tribune.)
The war tax is being censured by
many, some in jest, and many in earn
est, many saying that war tax in
time of peace is unprecedented. Just
stop to consider that the present
times, with, nearly the whole world
at war, is also Unprecedented. The
United States is justified in meeting
the unprecedented situation with un-
precedented measures.

Business Depression Now Over.
Ellensburg Democracy

Business Depression Now Over.
(Ellensburg Democracy
Reports from all over the country
show that the recent business depres-
sion is fast giving way to real bust
ness prosperity. The business of the
country is growing all the time, and
while we are bound to have periods
of depression, while working q hard
ship at the time, are of great value
to the people as whole in teaching
them to use more economy and con-
servatism in their business and pri-
vate life. There is no question but
what the business depression of the
past few months was brought on by
conditions that we're not for the best
interests of the people as a whole.
It was simply reaction from the
high speculative period of a few years
ago which resulted in raising every
thing, including real estate to a false
valuation. Everything was bought
upon q speculative basis. True bust
ness values did not enter into the
great majority of land transactions.
Everyone who bought, bought with
the hope and expectation Of selling
at a higher price than what they paid.
Few stopped to figure IL the purchase
would pay interest or dividend upon
the price paid, that was left for the
last purchaser to figure out, and he is
still figuring. The business of this
country when conducted upon eco
nomic and real value lines is at all
times in healthy condition, and it is
only when fictitious and speculative
values are operated upon that trouble
comes,

Good Signs For Lumber Trade.

Monroe independently
The Index-Galena sawmill, which
was in great part destroyed by fire
recently, will be rebuilt at once. This
is good sign Of the times, and that
the outlook for the lumber trade is
promising. If the lumber trade was
as punk as some try to make it ap-
pear 1t is, there would not be great
incentive to get back into the business
again. A very active year for 1915
is the forecast Of all the experienced
and conservative mill men.

Mn name Treatment.

But IN spite OF the seriousness Of the
present crisis the plight OF the stock EN-
change employee has been greatly exag-
geratcd by the calamity bowler II is
far from true that the majority OF brok
erage houses are discharsing their EN-
ployees Wholesale without regard TO tho
consequences TO the employee. Weak
firms are doing It. Of course. as a matter
OF dire necessity. But as a general rule
the situation has been met in a spirit OF
helpfulness and self-sacrifice on the part
OF employer and employee alike In the
case OF one house with a large force
the partners consulted the STAFF before
taking any measures at all. II was
pointed out that tho present crisis is one
in which every one must bear his share
OF the burden and the proposal was made
for a reduction OF 25 per cent. In SAL
aries for the present month, with the
intimatIon tSst another cut would be
made further To th'. the employees
agreed. Moreover. the reduction was
made with certain restrictions. II was
provided that II the change promised 10

had to be met this particular case would

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Fat Yesrs and Lean Years.

The present state of the financial dis
trlct Is OF course due to well defined
causes entirely beyond Its control. Every
one In the district employer and employee
alike, is In the same boat, all suffering
from the paralysis of business. Tho brok-
ersge house which finds itself obliged to
cut expenses and to let some Of Its en-
ployees go does SO unwillingly, for an
office force Is q trained machine which
II takes years to build up to a high state
OF efficiency. Firms that are able to
keep their men will be In a position to
take advantage OF opportunities when
business Is resumed. But In many cases
the cutting down of expenses in this way
has been unavoidable. The burden has
been ~ the harder to bear because for
three of four years now business has
been steadily growing worse and Wall
Street has been largely living on Its
fat" But generally speaking . con-
trlbuting cause for the present plight Is
the fact that the financial district has
never had proper realization OF the
nature Of the business II does. Like
none other In the world the business OF
speculation Is essentially one OF violent
fluctuations. Wall street has never treated
it's business scientifically. Every boom
that has been seen has been considered
al the time as a permanent movement and
every period OF lean times simply as
prelude to another boom greater than
the last The result has been that all
lean times have been unnecessarily hard.
If one ultimate effect OF the present ex-
pericnce Is a better realization by Wall
street itself OF the business II docs a sub
stantial bulwsrk will be built I'M against
hard times in the future.

ment by the copper producers yesterday n

a period tho brass mills were operating
on better time than other consuming in
dustries, in consequence OF which condi-
ton they bought copper, but these neces-
stiles have been fIlcd temporarily at

Trading In Foreign Money.

Bullion merchants In this city are doing
quite a little business IN foreign coins
and notes The prices are rather unusual
For instance, the new Bank OF England
one pound notes sell at 5.o2. while English
soverisns are quoted a shade higher at
sos. There is OF course no reason at all for
this premium on gold except the common
desire TO possess 1t. In the same way French
and German cold coins command slightly
higher price than their equivalent IN
naper Russian rubles are reported quoted
a, 40 cents 10 the man who wants TO
buy and at 3b to 40 cents for the man who
wishes to sell There is always some
difference between the buying and selling
prices OF foreign money, but the present
Disparity is quite abnormal. similarly
the mark Is quoted IN some quarters at -
10 25 cents to buyers and 10 to 20 cents
for sellers.

COTTONSEED OIL.
Market Breaks 20 TO 80 Points
Freer Crude offerings.

The combination OF larger sales or

through the cotton seed oil list. Tenders

Consuming demand for oil Is limited
temporarily. The downward tendency or
