FIRED 2 CANADIAN BRIDGES
Officials of Vancouver Blame German
Sympathizers With Attempt to
Destroy Structures.

Vancouver, B. c., April 3O.-Fires
believed to be of incendiary origin
started nearly simultaneously yester-
day in the Gamble and Granville street
bridges connecting the business and
residence districts of this city. Car
service was demoralized. Police Off
Gals admitted a theory that the fires
were part of a plot to burn the city.
Aside from the bridges, however, no
attempts at arson were discovered, SO
far as could be learned.
Thousands of persons, blocked on
their way to work, watched the flames
soar from the wood and tar pavement
of the great Connaught bridge at Cam
bic street. The damage here is esti-
mated at 100000. The frame of the
bridge is steel. The flames gradually
burned themselves out The fire at
the Granville street bridge, a mile
away, was quickly extinguished.
Officials hint that German sympa-
thizers may have been responsible for
the fires.

A RURAL CREDIT
PLAN FOR KANSAS
New Company Will Make Long
Time Loans Payable in
IHStaIImentS.
GIVEN A CHARTER BY STATE
Association Is First TO be Organized
Under Plan Proposed BY National
commission-Capita Kept
In State.

Topeka.-The Kansas Rural Credit
Association has been granted char
ter by the Kansas charter board. 1t
has an authorized capital of one-half
million dollars and its incorporators
are:
w. NJ. Price, state senator and pres
ident Lyon County Bank, EmpOria;
Owen Samuel, former county attorney
of Lyon County, Emporia; T. L. Nor
gan, Emporia; L. w. Moody, EmpOria;
H. S. Morgan, Topeka.
This association is the first to be or
gained under the rural credit plan
proposed by the national commission
on rural credits appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson two years ago. The com
mission spent three months in Europe
investigating the rural credit systems
of various countries.
The association is required to invest
its capital in Kansas municipal bonds
and deposit these bonds with the state
treasurer. Each borrower is to be a
shareholder and no single stakeholder
can own more than per cent Of the
stock. Total loans are not to exceed
fifteen times the capital stock of the
association and are to run for a period
of from ten to thirty-fve years. The
principal is to be paid in small install
ments, monthly, quarterly, semi-an-
nually or annually, along with the in
terest, instead of the customary way
of leaving all the loan to be paid or re-
newed at maturity.
The mortgages cannot be written for
more than so per cent of the assessed
value Of the property and only for the
purchase of land, paying for perma-
nent improvements and for paying on
existing debts.
Mortgages are to be deposited with
the state treasurer or bank commits
sioner as security for debenture bonds
to be issued and sold wherever there
is a market The bonds can only be
issued under state supervision. 1t is
the plan to make these bonds attrac-
tive to the small investors throughout
the country.
The operation of the company will
be under the supervision of the state
banking department, the same as
building and loan associations.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE FINE
and Conditions Are As Good As
Last Year.

Topeka.-f present conditions con-
tinue throughout the crop growing sea-
son Kansas will break all records this
year along agricultural lines. Reports
to the headquarters Of the various
railroads, to the government crop ser
vice department and to the state
board of agriculture all tell the same
story.
Wheat in the great wheat belt Of
central Kansas is tall enough already
to hide a jack rabbit. 1t stands thick
on the ground and is very healthy. It
was not damaged by any spring winds
and no pests have appeared to injure
it so far except in eastern Kansas. It
is getting late now for the chinch bug
or Hessian fly to bother much If they
should come now, they are likely to
do more damage to the growing corn
than to the wheat.
