Walla, on the Columbia river are
to be seen more wild ducks than
| ever dreamed were in the whole
of the United States. So much
for the wheat land northward.
Southward, and westward, of the
city lie the fruit lands. They diff
fer from the wheat lands in that
they contain streams, and conse-
quently, can be irrigated. In
stead of farms of 5000 acres, the
farms seldom contain more than
eight or ten acres, and these
small fruit farms keep a man as
busy, and bring him almost as
much net returns, as the big
wheat farms.
The cost of living, including
clothing, is fully as cheap as in
the eastern states.

Fire Chief Investigates
Fire Chief Kinder to-day with as

further investigation into the origin
of the fire, While witnesses VINO

were all confined to the Philadelphia

said, ut could have started in the

"I am not certain that we will ever
learn positively where the fire did
start. Employees of the Philadelphia
cafe tell different stories regarding a
gas explosion. Some say the explosion
took place early in the evening;
others that it happened after they
closed up. An examination will be
made of the gas range as soon as the
ruins are cleared away"

GLASS SAYS HE IS
IN FAVOR OF LOAN
Framer Of Federal Reserve Act
Makes Address at Harris
burg Club

The difference between the old ma
tionai banking act and the new federal
reserve system lies in greater fiexa-
bility of the currency under its opera
ton and its ability to meet the needs
of the country in a financial way un-
der any conditions.
This was the gist of an address by
Carter Glass before the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce at luncheon
at the Harrisburg Club to-day.
Mr.. Glass digressed from his topic
in favor of the loan which English and
French capitalists are endeavoring %
negotiate in this country. There is
no reason for closing down business in
this country because there is war in
Europe" he said. He also paid a very
high tribute to President Wilson for
his part in the passage of the reserve
act.
Mr.. Glass, as chairman of the con-
gressional committee that framed the
new reserve act, had been invited to
address the Chamber on the new law
as 1t applies to commercial relations.
He was introduced by Donald McCor-
mick, president of the Dauphin De-
post Trust company and well-known
figure in Pennsylvania banking cir
cles. The meeting was attended by
bankers from all over the Central
Pennsylvania district.
In presenting Mr.. Glass, Mr.. McCor-
mick dwelt upon the necessity OF H.
nancial preparedness as well as of
military preparedness and said that
by defective laws in the past the coun-
try has lost fully as much money as
would have been required to finance
war.
Mr. Glass spoke in glowing terms of
the new reserve act, saying that it cor
rected two grave weaknesses in the
old. The more noticeable of these,
said he, was the lack of flexibility. The
second defect in the old law he said
was the fictitious value of its reserve
system" Since the new law has been
in operation, he said, it has been
found that instead of the country bank
being dependent on the New York
bank, the New York bank is really
dependent on the country bank. For
, instance, he pointed out that the New
York banks under the old system al
$S46, ,000,0 900, whereas they had loan
ed back to the country banks only
100000, the difference being used
for speculative purposes in New York
1.-THE whole effect of the new sys-
tenn" he continued, has been to per-
NIT the banks under the federal sys-
tenn to loan as much money as any
community needs on the basis of the
total sum of its commercial assets, in
stead of limiting them to loans based
on the limitations of national indebted.
ness as represented by bonds.
Mr.. Glass explained the workings
of the act in detail, and summed ur
his conclusions in this sentence: "Tht
operation of the federal reserve banl
means sane expansion when bushes:

WILMINGTON MAN FOUND DEAD
UNDER PHILADELPHIA BRIDGE

Philadelphia, April 21.-The body of
a well-dressed man believed to be a
resident of Wilmington. Del, was
found to-day under a bridge spanning
the subway in this city of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railway The
skull was crushed and there is a pos
sibility that the man was murdered,
but II is more likely he was struck by
a train as the body was found lying
beside the tracks. Another theory is
that he jumped from the bridge.
In one of the pockets was a letter
addressed. to Patrick Kennedy, 1406
King street, Wilmington. hat that
had been worn by the victim bore the
initials p. K, which leads the police
to believe the body is that of Ken
nedy.
